Three player matches over PSN between myself as Abel and various opponents (Guile, Rufus and Dan).

I feel so dirty :(

I'm sure the regulars of the GB SFIV board and of other SF forums and sites etc are aware of these already, but I thought I'd post them up anyway. I've also added the ones that are up so far into a playlist below, but there are others to come I think.
 
If you weren't aware of these then basically Daigo played some games of SFIV for money at Season Beatings 4. He does quite well. I also included some SFIII casuals Daigo played, if your into that sort of thing.
 
   
 
Here's a link to the playlist or you can go to the youtube page of the person who uploaded these for more videos here.

The last episode I watched was 111. There was nothing wrong with it, just as good as the other episodes. When 112 got uploaded though I didn't feel the need to watch it like I have with all the previous ones. I've been watching since the beginning and think it's a great series, so I guess I've just got bored with it? I'm sure when they get close to the end I'll be watching again, but right now I feel like I'm not really missing anything.
 
So, has anyone else stopped. Or even considered stopping? Am I crazy? Or was I crazy to start watching in the first place?!

I posted a little while ago about how I was attempting to learn how to play with Dhalsim. Needless to say that didn't go so well, hence the title of this blog. Whatever the reason I couldn't get to grips with his play style. His defensive nature and having to plan moves in advance proved to be hard for me to master. Also his crappy health, bad ultra and slow movement doesn't help matters. However, I am sure there are plenty of people who have a play style more suited to him (in fact I've played plenty online and know if you play well with him, you can really annoy your opponents)

So, onto Rufus!

Up until now, the only time I'd really spent using Rufus was in the normal trial mode. I was getting bored with playing as Dhalsim so I decided to try a few characters out. I found that I could do most of Rufus's combos pretty easily and finished his hard trials pretty quickly. Now I know that being able to do combos in training doesn't mean you can do them in a match, but it's a start. Over the last week or so I've been playing with the Rufus in championship mode with pretty good results. I think a large part of this is to do with people not knowing how to play him, and (hopefully) a little part is played by my ability with him.


Anyway, enough of my ramblings. Tell me what you think. Embedded below is a game I played against GiantBomb user lggins. I start off pretty badly (or he started well?) in the first round, but get better as it progresses.

This is the 3rd match of 5 in a playlist which you can view here
