    Any of you guys go to tournaments and stuff? I just got back from one...they really help you analyze what you're doing wrong...
     
    Anyways, ggs @ specialbuddy, but I really thought you would make it to finals. Because of how the bracket worked I guess we tied for third. It'll be interesting to see how you get placed in the ranbat standings.

    not anything big, just a local tournament. there some good players there though.
     
    ranbats is basically the points system that ranked matches use in sfiv online. you get/lose points based on the skill level of people you fight as compared to how many points you have

    Oh no you didn't. 
    But seriously, its not even funny nor does it make any sense. I'll exclude you because you use a formally popular mid-tier character?

    @Thrawn: I see, thanks for the explanation.
     
    But wait, stop the damn presses. Even if it was indirectly, did we witness Napalm actually defend me/Mr. Masters? Forget curing cancer, what we just witnessed here was huge!

    I'm getting sick of people randomly saying, "U USE KEN LOOLOOZ"
     
    EDIT: I don't know if you're just playing dumb (lol) or if you're serious, but RanBat just stands for Ranked Battles.

    @Stang: from what ive played, (bunch of high schoolers keeping points) its a random selection of all playerrs, who gain and lose points based on wins/loss. Person who has most points gets seeded into actually tournament (with prizes)

    @Napalm: Yeah man, I kind of understand what you are saying seeing as I have been getting shit from everybody since day 1 for using Ken! And no, I am just that dumb, I did not know ranbat was cool guy talk for ranked battles. That is to expected though, after all I play Ken.

    I was looking for Arcade Infinity RanBat Tournaments and I typed "RanBat" into YouTube search and it came back a bunch from all over the place and I saw a couple were Ranked Battles.

    They probably have a different system, im no pro. 
     
    Stang, if your having trouble with a SE, mod it. I spent 24 dollars on a 4/8 way sanwa stick, and 2 bucks on 6 buttons a piece, and now my SE is probably as good as an actual arcade cabinet. Now to mention light and easily fits on your lap (unlike that HUGE te).
     
    Its really not hard at all to mod your SE, the stick comes out with a phillips and a flathead screwdriver, and the buttons are all click ins. It took me about half an hour to take apart it all, switch all the stuff around, plug in the connectors exactly where they were before, and have a sweet modded stick.
     
    Theres also all kinds of vid tutorials on youtube, i really recommend modding one. The SE stick is mad of shoddy parts which are prone to breaking, not to mention a 4 way is in my opinion hard to use with command characters. My 8 way feels much smother, and my new main Abel loves it.

    @Thrawn: Ya man I felt I could make it to the finals. It seems that turtle Balrogs are my weakness seeing as the only two times I lost were to them. We should work on that match up this week and go back and win the next one :P.

    @Thrawn:
    I feel good in the Gen vs Balrog match it's just I wasn't playing very well in that match. I start getting frustrated when I cant cross someone up cause it cuts out 75% of my offense. I think if I just played better and didnt go into auto pilot it would have been at least a better match up. 
     
    Saying that I did think about picking Akuma next time if I didn't feel good using Gen. So that might happen in the future if I lose the first match.

    Might be gearing up for MI Ranbats in the near future, so I'll be cracking down on match-ups here soon, so expect me to be online cursing the day I was born a lot, unless I win. Then it was a good and fair match.
