@Napalm said:Yeah Balrog's jump roundhouse is good because of the angle and jump fierce has deceptively good range but Guile shouldn't have any trouble anti-airing him. Down fierce his j.hk and airthrow far jumpins like j.hp. Ex flash kick if you're feeling yourself I guess." @AniMoney said:Guile has(one of) the best AA in the game. So shhh. "" I wish Balrog had a cross-up. I need to work on safe jumps. Online players reversal sooo much it's like they're mixing you up when they're knocked down. "Fuck that! I can stop Balrog's jump-in attempt like once out of four times. You have the best jump in in the game. That low hitting punch is literally impossible to punish. "

" @Jeffsekai: He's right though, jumping fierce and jumping roundhouse are pretty ridiculous to anti-air. It's much easier to low forward whiff -> throw than actually uppercut that j.HK. "low forward to lower your hitbox? that isn't a guaranteed throw though right? If you just want to avoid it wouldn't backdash or teleport be better? Akuma seems to have a worse time with srk'ing jump ins because he can't really capitalize off trades like Ryu.
" @Jeffsekai said:Haha, whaaat? The issue with Balrog's jump in game is it depends 100% on the distance between Balrog and his opponent when he jumps in. If he is farther away and his attack is going to nick me, he'll most likely flat out overpower my anti air, or we'll trade. It's usually the former. If he is closer and it looks like he's landing on top of me, I can usually anti air at least four out of five times. The tricky jump ins can also apply to the shotos as well, even Sakura. If they are farther away we might trade, or they might beat me, but if they are closer to jumping on top of me than nicking me, I can usually knock them.@Napalm said:Yeah Balrog's jump roundhouse is good because of the angle and jump fierce has deceptively good range but Guile shouldn't have any trouble anti-airing him.

My Giantbomb fighting record so far.
vs. Kawagawaga 0 - 18. Yes he beat me 18 times in a row. In one sitting. I dont know who got tired first, me getting my ass kicked or him totally dominating me. Thanks for keeping it fresh and beating me with all the different characters and not just one.
vs. Da Stang 0 - 10. He destroyed me. Duh
Obviously these guys are in another league than me. I love a good challenge but I would also like to have a chance every now and then. For my ego. Looking for some self proclaimed sucky players. Hit me up.

" @Stang: Ok well then maybe im loosing it. I know it was someone from Giant bomb and Im sure the first person I played was Kawagawaga because I remember us talking about him being from Canada. I know the second person was from giantbomb cause we were talking about it. Whoever it was, maybe they will speak up. I cant look it up cause im at work. "I think that was me. I don't remember the final score but I don't think i lost a match.
Were you the guy from NC?
I just re-purchased this after unloading my PS3 version a couple of months ago. I bought the PC version since it was only $20 on the Windows Marketplace this past weekend. If any PC gamers wanna play, my gamertag is Evil Ratard. I am average at best, but enjoy the hell out of the game. I usually only play with Sagat and Sakura, but I am starting to learn other fighters as well.
Necro smoked me last night 10-0. I've never really played a decent chun so i had little to no idea what I was doing. GGs man. I'm down for a rematch anytime!
im pretty sure you could have hit me with rogs headbutt whenever you felt like. lol.
good games though man, anytime.
So I realized that I am indeed, free (3 and doughnuts). I may start playing some SFIV this evening, who knows!
" yay, i ocv'ed some stank ass bitches.......I'm so CRUNK damn i meant to post this in the final round thread "GET CRUNK SON!
@demontium: Nah, I am done for the night, 25 matches with Renahzor was enough Street Fighter for me. You really want to beat me don't ya?

" @Stang: I know... I think my last fight (against Johnny Digital) made me realize I needed some rest from SFIV. I then proceeded to sell it. :P I fully intend to invest myself in SSFIV upon release, though, and I occasionally play SFIII on the CPS3 emulator. "troll.
@FluxWaveZ said:Yeah, I'll admit it. SFIV is the worst fighting game I've ever played and even though I tried to keep up with everybody, it proved to be an utter waste of my time. I'm also planning to get rid of my fightstick because I no longer have any need for it. I vastly prefer FPS games anyways." @Stang: I know...

GTFO off this forum.
GTFO off this forum. "Fine. I won't be coming back here again (except if I do).
" @demontium: I'm not the best on the forums, I'm pretty sure my performance at FRXIII proves that. Even if I was, that doesn't exactly amount to anything. Also, FFXIII is mediocre in general, so I might as well get achievements out of it and not your silly trophies that mean nothing to me. "Trophies are shit, and I love achievements way more, but the game is great. DON'T LOCK THIS THREAD JUST BECAUSE I POSTED IN IT. Fuck you btw.

" @lordofultima: You are the best in my eyes <3. Does Evo have teams? If so, revenge will be taken there. "Fag, and I will fight you tomorrow?
