I thought this was necessary to share. It wasn't really a rage quit, because my internet is really bad at my college. It still is funny though.
 

 

So I finally got around to recording some matches with Stang and let me tell you some dumb ass shit happened during these matches. I gave away so many matches just because I could. But whatever, that is what casuals are for. Enjoy and comment if you want.  Check the playlist.
 
I would like to point out the dumb auto correction that happens in the second round of the first match after Stang's super. I went for the ultra to finish the match but I turned around and went on to lose. Fruit Unicorns to you game! (ultima gets it)
 
 
 

It is 4:00 Am on Saturday morning and I have yet to go to sleep even though I have a pretty busy day tomorrow. I'm listening to that hip hop that the kids be listening to and I really want a Philly Cheese Steak. Perfect time to make a blog about Street Fight don't you think? I would of made this a video blog if my web cam wasn't being gay.
 
Ive been thinking about my Street Fighter "career" a lot lately and have had some things going on or are going to happen that are pretty exciting. Mostly random thoughts about Super Street Fighter 4 and how I'm TOTALLY stocked and want it now. Lobbies+Me recording= WIN!
 
Thoughts about a tournament I have coming up in December in Dallas (Richerson to be exact) called Absolute Battle and thinking about how I can prepare for it so I'm playing at my best. Ive already noticed tons of flaws in my game and I'm trying to improve on it. I'm not sure what kind of player we have in North Texas seeing as Ive never played any really good ones. I am worried about the people that come up from Austin and Houston cause arcade players scare me. I'm not ready to walk into the tournament and the guy be like, "Ok your first match is against Four Wude" even though I did beat him in championship mode once pretty bad.  Ill try to get my cousins to record my matches cause they are coming to watch me play so expect that.
 
More importantly if you people dont already know that Final Round is coming up in March live from Atlanta, Georgia. Even though it is far away in date and in distance from were I'm at I still need to start preparing now. Travel arrangements, spending money, registration, and all that junk needs to be taken care of now so I'm not behind when the time comes. 
 
As of right now it will be Me, Gambit, LordofUltima, WestAB, and a guy from SRK, BlueGuile, are going as a group to Final Round. I'm already thinking of things to do so we can share with the site what Final Round is all about. Some ideas I have are:

• Streaming the practice session from a camera, not a recording devise, so you guys can hear us talking and what not.
• Taking general footage from the event and most likely outside of the event.
• I know that this most likely wont happen but I think a podcast of some sort would be cool. No clue how this would work though.

 
The problem that might come from Final Round is if SSF4 come outs more than 2 weeks before Final Round they are planning of replacing the old version with that one. So I'm worried that Ill be random out by some Juri player and that would piss me off. So I'm actually hoping if it does come out in Spring that it does it after Final Round.
 
Now the main topic, I'm having a tough time with Gen recently. I'm noticing that I cant win against some that Ive played more than once consistently. I'm having that thing were if the guy figures out how to fight Gen then I'm completely screwed because of Gen's limited options. Because of this I have decided if they don't really buff him in SSF4 that I will be quitting Gen and moving onto one of the new characters. Ill be keeping Gen as an alt but Ill be moving on when it comes to a main. I love Gen to death (no old man homo) but he just doesn't do it for me sometimes (again, no old man homo). He nnneeeedddss a better anti-air and he needs better zoning abilities. If they gave him that then Ill keep playing him. Hell! Ill keep playing him if they just make him better in general. Other than that Gen is still beast.
 
Well I'm done ranting. Its 4:30 am on the dot. GGPO people.

So I got an invite from the one and only JR the day before yesturday and we played a first to 10. There are three things I learned about him: 1) He loves that super 2)He has a thing for CAP LOCK 3) That guy is a beast. 
 
During some of the matches I was thinking to myself "Man I got this round" and then he would pull a demon out at the perfect time and I would lose.
 
He took this video so props to him for recording. Final Score 10-2 JR.
 
 

I found these on Gootecks.com that he wrote about what to think about while playing. I never really thought some of these things and Im hoping to start doing so. I really want to take my game further and this just might be the thing I need. 
 
 

Offense

• If this move hits, what will I do after?
• If this move misses, what kind of damage will I take (or where will it leave me on the screen)?
• How can this move be evaded?
• If this move blocks, what can they punish with?  Did they punish it last time or is this the first time I’ve shown it to them?

Defense

• What move are they most likely to throw out right now (taking into consideration their lifebar, the range you are at, the character they’re playing, etc.)?
• What move, if any, can I punish with if I block?
• What are they most likely to follow up with if this move hits me?
• What are they most likely to follow up with afterwards?
• Is it better to block or try to counter?

Wakeup

• What is the risk of blocking?
• What is the risk of doing a wakeup move (such as Shoryuken, Flash Kick, etc.)?
• Did they attack me last time?
• How likely are they to throw?
