We need more ST players in Seattle

Yeh :confused:

OMG NATE THE JAPAN KILLER IS A BEAST

<3 seattle ST

nate destroyed so many jap players with gief. they were playing guile too. he drew a crowd. comments were made such as:

ā€œoh man this is such an unfair matchupā€ and in general things were looking grim but then…

CROUCHING ROUNDHOUSE INTO 360!

BANISHING FIST INTO 360!

and other awesomeness

anyway full screen super, we definitely missed you there. lets hang out sometime soon. did you know zass plays chess too? maybe ill come to one of your ST training sessions and we can all play chess on the side.

Sounds dope, I am trying to figure out where to play ST, maybe my house on thursday?

Yeah me and Beaseley are 1-1 against each other in chess so far… but god it is fucking hard for me to pay attention to an entire game nowadays unless I am delivering rape.

i caught nate vs INO on video after i figure out some shit i’ll post it so you guys can see the glorious nearly 6 minutes of patience and brutality that nate displayed on ino

Post man, post! There’s nothing to figure out just do it.

Just to let people I haven’t called, Im having a gathering at my place friday. Any new people and players are welcome call me for details: 206-856-one six/four/zero

I gonna chop up some footage from season one’s ST tournament tapes and make them available on umbrellastyle’s site. Alex has been a lazy bum, and hasn’t added content in forever. I figured that if I went to the trouble of editing a few vids, he’d be obliged to open a section of the his site dedicated to media. I could be mistaken.

He said that he’d format the player profiles and pics, which was why I wrote them up to begin with. But after a month or so, he still hasn’t done anything with them. At this rate, the ā€œageā€ field on the questionnaires won’t be valid by the time he puts the profiles up on the SBC main page.

Any way, to the point. If you took part in any matches in season one at Preppy’s and do not wish for footage featuring your play to be included, let me know. I’m sure there isn’t anyone out there all that insecure about their gaming prowess, but I thought that it would be prudent to offer the perfunctory disclaimer. Besides, it’ll be made available on www.SobatCarnival.com, so it’s not as though anyone would see it anyway.

Keep in mind that I only plan on putting up my favorite matches. By ā€˜favorite’ I really don’t mean technically sound games. I’m planning on including the funny matches like Tempest vs. Deezo and Pablo_the_Drunk. I’ll include lopsided matches like Nate crushing some n00b in the finals sweep on 7/6. I’ll even include some dumb ones, so there will certainly be a share of Full Screen getting punished for being retarded.

I hope the ā€œBITE YO FACE NIGGA?! IMA BITE YO FACE NIGGA!ā€ makes it’s way into the highlight video. I don’t mind you putting my stuff out there. I just hope more content is added to his site cause I actually like going there. Fuckin Alex. You don’t be that lazy when you’re White.

i still need to give Preppy the 2 tapes from ST Season 1 Final Tournament

Ok, so we need to explore our options outside of CCC2 for console ST, because we are definitely done with that shit

I vote we play on HSF2, only picking ST characters. I’ve been trying it out lately, and it actually feels like the arcade to me. Moreso than fucking CCC2 at least

What do you guys think?

I formatted a few vids this morning. They are as follows:

  • 4/20 Tempest vs. Deezo
    Where Mandel’s Sagat j.short about 6 times back and forth, and Kenneth just walks under repeatedly. Laughably bad, and yet unquestionably intense. I don’t care WTF Airthrow says (on SBC forums) about the richness of our scene or how he and XTG carried the torch. This was the most apt representation of ST before Julien showed up. If any of us OTHER than Nate had attended Evo in our prior to 5/4 form, we would have gone 2 and out. We fucking sucked! This was my favorite match from all of season 1.

-7/6 Me vs. Pablo_the_Drunk
Cursing, bitching, bemoaning, language that would make a sailor blush.

  • 7/6 Tempest vs. Airthrow
    The first of the ā€œyee cho face nih-guhā€ series that day. Not sure if I need to include more.

  • 7/6 Tempest vs. Deezo
    Only really notable thing in this one was how it ends. Mandel does a Chun super, Kenneth jumps over it. Kenneth had forever and a day to do just about anything, as Mandel’s Chun had no life. But Kenneth walks against Chun from behind and waits too long, so Mandel throws him when Chun recovers from the super.

-7/6 XTG vs. n00b
Grand finals were Nate just sweeps and rapes the shit out of some n00b. 8:2 my ass, T-Akiba doesn’t know shit!

Will do more as time permits. Don’t want to go into it since I kinda want some people to speculate and be surprised.

I wasn’t allowed to play in that one due to the color of my skin. I had to enter in the loser’s bracket, so I missed a lot of matches. I’ve actually been wanting to watch this tape to see if there were any worthwhile matches. Veteru also didn’t let people film his games. I remember that the finals were rather intense, but I don’t remember much else.

First of all, can you pick ā€œoldā€ versions in AE? Secondly, I’ve heard that Old Sagat (or perhaps just SSF2 Sagat) isn’t as potent as he was in the arcade version. Any truth to it?

I believe that AE also had minor differences in gameplay. For example, I don’t think you can kara cancel fireballs with Ryu/Ken/Sagat to shorten the recovery time. But it’s definitely better than having ~6 frames of input lag. I remember when Beasley was teaching me Chun Li combos. When I started doing them consistently, I said, ā€œit weird, I have to input the l.roundhouse BEFORE the l.forward animation even finishes. I thought there weren’t any chain canceling with normals in this game.ā€

Yes, you can pick old versions of characters, and you can also hold start while selecting ST to get the original arcade versions of the characters (storing supers, etc)

I don’t care what we use, as long as it isn’t CCC2

I will transport my arcade machine if that’s what it takes

I’d be fine with that. I don’t see how anything can be worse than CCC2

I’ll bring it to the next gathering so everyone can try it out

the only problem with it is the glitch with Claw’s inputs (you have to charge down, then hit kick, then hit up)
BUT, if someone has a modded PS2, they released a fixed version in Japan that I wouldn’t mind buying if we were going to use it

Anyone have the X-Box version? NKI has the fewest complaints about that one.

So apparently, the re-released version of HSF2 also fixed O.Sagat’s tiger shot recovery, among other things

I think that is our solution, and I will order it right now in hope that it comes by next friday

I didn’t say we were particularly good before Julien, what I meant was more like if you took his sack out of your mouth for a second, other people worked to help Seattle ST too. :tup:

I have xbox AE.

Are the glitches fixed in that version?

i have XBOX AE

I’ll check, my AE is Japanese yet runs on American systems fine? I’ll confirm…basically I will know if I need to do the ghetto d, k, u for walldives right? I remember getting schooled by my scrub ass friends because I couldn’t walldive at all back when Vega was my main and we were playing on HSF2 arcade board (BTW What mobo is HSF2, CPS2, Naomi…?)
