Nothing, it says that Nate’s good with those characters. Although to be fair, he beat me with Balrog/BOXER last time we played in the losers finals. But nevertheless, he’s a great player.
Also, there are A LOT of top ST players who use Zangief.
Wiffed banishing flat into Final Automatic Busta = gdlk
No there arent, cant think of any top st player that uses gief as their main.
wasnt Kuni a top STplayer at some point or another?
I dunno about Kuni, but as I said before, those characters are typically not used as mains. Maybe he ended up in a lot of favorable matchups in tourney play.
And there are a lot of top players that use Gief. They just use him sparingly. Cooooouuuunteeerrrrpiiiiicks.
Shut the hell up, nate is a beast! It’s like he is one of those crazy japs.
I need to learn dictator and watch some vids, he is dangerous in his purple suit.
Just wanted to jump in here for a sec… are people interested in a “hardcore” ST gathering at my place? The idea would be to practice stuff like nonstop tick throws (we did this at a small gathering with Julian, myself, and Keith).
Look at the Evo north ST footage. Seth Killian almost takes first place with repeated low forward, throw. I think a lot of people don’t know how to deal with that and will just get raped by it.
So is there interest in a gathering for practicing these kinds of tactics? The ideal participant would come in losing to ryu’s low short -> throw 100% of the time and walk out able to reverse it at least 50% of the time.
I’d like to get a better comprehension of the mechanics of ST. My fundamentals also needs work in General. So I’d be down for something like that.
so whats goin on tonight?
I would be HELLA down for hardcore practice.
No pain, no gain.
I would definitely be down for hardcore practice as long as it wasn’t just a few hours, and hopefully wasn’t on a weeknight that wasn’t friday. Oh yeah, and if we did a round robin to immediately incorporate what we learned at the end…
DRINKING AT MY PLACE.

deejay highly ranked! #6 or 7
Yes! Justification. Vindication. Valediction. Exculpation. I am no longer cheap for using Claw. From now on, I’ll say that I’m simply a tier whore. I’m playing to win. Or, rather, playing to NOT LOSE.
Why is O.G. Claw so good? What exactly are the differences between old and new Claw? Is it just the super? Does one super alone put him over Mr. Ugly and Mr. Less-Ugly?
Tonight was a success…
I pop in my only version of ST possible.
I beat the game with ST Ryu.
The game is getting more interesting when you play it constantly…
Could this be the third and final game, Kenny will learn?
S. Claw has a very long charge time for his wall dive. He can still do repeated wall dives, but it’s harder for him to initiate them. He also doesn’t have his anti air, and can’t tech throws.
S. Claw can still poke very effectively, which is why he is still highly ranked.
Blanka over S. Ryu?? wtf
i go to play some ST and instead i see this drunken debauchery display by julian aka airthrow aka full screen super
