Wichita, KS: Pass the salt please, we are in there

Did you ever play the CvS games?

Yes I did! Hahah that’s a big reason how I know my footsie ranges(along from SF2) for SFIV and fighting games in general.

Ha! Trapped ya!

Then why no KoF?

I used to play KoF98. I just wasn’t liking the latest release of KoF that’s all :[. I used to play SF/KoF/GG/CvS

But for the last couple years, I’ve been playing a lot of SuperTurbo and just for almost the last year, SFIV.

Damn, my trap failed then. Oh well.

Makes sense now.

Yeah man haha. I used to play almost every game casually. But I’ve been trying to take my SFIV game to “the next level”.

Lol. Not even sure where here is really… I’m kinda new to Wichita used to live in Chicago basically all my life- I live in the plainview-ish area of wichita and as you can imagine there isn’t a fighting game fanatic in sight( everyoneis obsessed w/ modifying their trucks around here apparently) I participated in the gamestop SF4 tourney and won the 1st round tourney at the Pawnee and broadway gamestop but never received a call from them for round 2. I did win a SF4 headband though.

That makes sense though, truly.

And wtf is with everyone and Flite?

Same time post.

Plainview area…Doesn’t ring a bell.

Hey it’s all good man! I just recently moved here from the Los Angeles area a couple months ago. Just asked alot of questions like you did, and if you need directions to anywhere, Peter(CPhame) knows almost everything going on around here.

Plainview is over by Pawnee isn’t it?

Fuck, I need to step my Wichita game up then.

And wtf? I thought you were here for like a year Ricky?

Yep Pawnee. I have a car and know how to read a map so I think I can make my way around, either that or I get lost and end up getting raped by hillbillies in a backwoods forrested area ala disneys snowdogs… I mean Deliverance…(always get those two mixed up)

o__O

What brings you to Kansas?

Lol.Work, I got offered a job for bank of america and I also got married and had my daughter plus the cost of living is much more affordable than big cities like Chicago. I’m also 25(wich has nothing to do with me moving here, just thought I should put that out there). Meaning to ask -what’s the usual age in your group?

Haha no DJ, i’ve only been here for a few months at most man!

And Jin, it really doesn’t matter about age for us. I’m probably the youngest of the group being 19. Everyone else is around 20-25 average. We all get along just fine because of our common interest in fighting games. No immature BS with us. Just like to have fun.

But yeah, aside from Smash being the big game in Wichita, you will always have someone to play ANY fighter with. Right now it’s primarily SFIV and BlazBlue. I’m pretty sure T6 will be in that lineup as soon as it drops. Im gonna try to learn it, but we’ll see how much time that takes away from SFIV.(probably not much LOL)

Kewl, kewl. Thanks, sir- I would just feel really out of place if you were all like 15 yr old prodigies. I would have felt like a creep. Anyways, smash

<Incomplete post
smash is popular here,huh? I wish I hadn’t of sold my wii a couple of months ago. Wasn’t really into smash anyways. Though it was fun… When you could play with 4 peeps at a time. Nintendo Wifi sucks bizznalls.

Haha! don’t worry man, we’re all of different age and it’s never been a problem. Even if I’m younger than the other guys.

But yeah, Smash is what I guess Wichita is really known for. Im pretty sure it’s only hosted at Andy’s(Karmacide) on Saturdays, but there’s setups for SFIV and Blaz too. There’s a strong following for Smash, but we have our SF and BB guys. I’m pretty sure even the Smash guys play BB and will be playing T6 too.

Dude I would love to fight your balrog! My fuerte gets compltely shutdown by balrogs online for some reason. I’m trying to dedicate my time between SF4 and T6- I wonder if anyone plays Fuerte among you guys? If you do, I would love some advice on how to pull of his infinite Dash- Fierce Punch string! Not many people use him though…

I sooooooooo wish I was 20 again.

Pete, you might as well be 20 man. I wish i was at LEAST 20. hahah

Haha I never play online really, but when I did, I noticed a lot of them turtle and rely on empty headbutts a lot. I just utilize a lot of his normals and just constantly rush-down. My Viper is similar in the sense I rush down. If you wanna beat me for free, just pick Zangief. It’s been proven that Gief is my kryptonite. Haha

Noone here really plays Fuerte exclusively. Some of us might play around with him, but none of us use him as our Mains or Secondary characters.

At one point I TRIED to use him, but I didn’t like my progress. But yeah, the way I did RSF(Run Stop Fierce/The Loop), was Fierce, QCF+Jab, Jab, Fierce and repeat. The speed you input it increases as you go farther into the loop, but im pretty sure it’s 1-23-4. Something like that. It’s really hard to explain. I might actually try to do it at our next session to see if I can explain the timing. I haven’t done it in awhile.
