  • That list that was leaked was kind of stupid. No one wants Adon and I seriously doubt they would put Cody in when they could better, more popular characters like Rolento in. I wouldn't mind the 3S characters on that list but I don't think Ibuki would make it in. Dudley is the man and should make it in no doubt. I wouldn't mind Makoto but I think there are ...

    People who label things as nerdy but do something that consists of the same concepts but "Its cool."  Example) There is no difference between DnD and a bunch of guys sitting at a table for 6 hours to draft their fantasy football team.  Also the people who think the Spelling Bee deserves to be on ESPN like it is a real sport.  BONUS PICK!!!!!  People who wear Naruto headbands in ...

  • Some people are ignorant to the fact that games don't change very much sometimes. When Zelda: Twilight Princess came out it was basically the same game it had been sense the 1980's and was praised as one of the best of the year. So saying Street Fighter 4 is "stale" is a complete over statement.

  • @Jeffsekai: It stops working sometimes. I think one of the wires just got loose. Also the stick feels a little more stiff than usual. It might be my gate or my switches. Ill have to ask some other people what they think the problem is if I don't figure it out or if it gets better on its own.

I recently went to two Dallas Ranbats called FIGHT CLUB!. Thrawn told me about it so shout out to him for giving me the heads up. The first time I went I played like shit. I mean I was clearly not playing as I usually do if you had played me before. I didn't notice it while I was playing but when I saw the footage I was kind of disappointed in myself. I had lost to Balrog, which isn't my worst match up, in the top eight. This in turn knocked me out of the tournament. I wasn't in losers cause they run the tournament Swiss style.
 
If you are not sure what a Swiss style tournament is, it is a type of tournament were everyone plays 4 games. Based on your record of wins and loses you are paired with people with similar records. This goes on until everyone had played 4 games, then the top 8 people with the best records make it to the quarter finals and onward. These matches are played in a single elimination best of 3 games even for the grand finals.
 
The first time I went I lost in my 2nd fight in top 8. This is the match in question were I was completely mind fucked for some reason. I wasn't nervous so that wasn't it. (I know the quality sucks but the next videos look way better)
 
 
  
 
Thrawn though had a great match against Rufus that I feel needs to be posted.  He is Honda.
 
 
  
Last Friday I went to the Ranbat knowing what I was doing wrong and knew what I had to be doing to not look like a fool. I won all my matches except against a guy who was playing Chun Li. Now if I have played with you more than once it is more than likely I have told you I have no fucking idea what to do against her. Its mainly because there isn't really any info on it on the web and I haven't fought very many Chun Li's.
 
Here are the matches I fought in order of when they happened. 
 
Me vs Rufus (same one that fought Thrawn)
 
 
  
Me vs Bison and Balrog
 
 
  
 
Grand Finals vs Geif and Chun Li (good shit dude. That last combo was sweet)
 
 
 
 
 
 
On another note, I finally got my stick modded the way I wanted it. With only the straight buttons and with custom artwork. Shout out to foodchaiNN for making the art for me. I'm really happy with it.
 

 Yup. Pretty Sweet.

  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.
