any you dudes thinking bout picking up kof13 when it comes out?

Starting to learn Dudley and to play on a stick, hopefully someone knows something about Dudley because I'm clueless at the moment. I'll probably post the tournament shit tomorrow as well.

" All I know is I got booted form a game.. =P j/k "

J turned me onto epoxy resin earlier, so I have a cheap means to fix my stick. Fucking finally!
 
*Soon Kenneth. Soon...*
 
I'm thinking about doing a series of video diaries of my experience learning Guy, too. It'll have matches from various points in my travels and I'll put up some of the things I'm practicing in training (punishes, combos and so on) so I hope its at least a little interesting. 
 
On this point, does anyone know of any decent editing software? Free or... not free.
 
Ahem.

that sticks reminds me of the times my brother used to punch the tv lol

" @darkvare: Oh, man. The days when you could punch a tv and it would only hurt your hand. If you attempted that today the thing would burst in an instant. "

What's strange is that while I can easily rage at games, it takes a lot for me to rage at SSF4 (unless its arcade mode Seth). However it didn't take that much to have me cursing up a storm and throwing the controller a bunch of times while I was finishing up Shin Megami Tensei: Digital Devil Saga 2 yesterday. 

Oh, then again there was that time I hit the wall of my old apartment with a dualshock in my hand and made a big black scrape mark on the wall. I think it was when I was playing Tekken 6, cause the arcade mode final boss is BS. Thankfully I never got charged for that one.

Wanna talk about rage in games? Let's talk about how 90% of the players online abuse lag-techs and are almost all colossal idiots. Seriously, why should I have to learn stupid lag tactics if I want to play the game seriously? I can tech a-mmkay, 100% offline, I don't have to worry about random reversals from idiots mashing cannon spike or srk's, and I can focus dash into a fireball game. All very basic shit, but what the fuck, if I don't gain PP I'll never be able to fight any decent people online, but I can't do that because I give my opponent too much credit. 
 
Goddamnit, the scene here is nearly non-existent, I'd have to go to NYC or NJ to even have some opposition. Yeah, yeah I know some of you don't have tons of competition either, but jesus...there is ONE dude in the general area I live in that cares about Street Fighter, and he plays a good Gief, but playing that obnoxious asshole as Boxer is not how I want to go about life. 
 
I rage daily about the level of stupidity on PSN. I can only imagine what XBL is like. Yay, rage for the day. 

While watching cops I found a Colonel Guile moonlighting. He is fighting the secret effeminate gay character only available in the next DLC pack.

I can only imagine what XBL is like.   

I just played a match for the hell of it online with Adon, and about 5 minutes practice with him and dominated. It seems like this character is a bit overpowered. Yes or no? I blow at this game so for me to dominate tells me something is wrong.

Yeah, he's a decent character at best. You can be mega scrubby with mediocre characters and have 10,000 BP in this game, so don't place any sort of pride on the online or your "domination". 
 
Jus' sayin'. 

I've been playing this game for quite a long time and I can't even get past 4k bp lol!  Well I do keep fighting people at SAME SKILL so I don't know if that's a factor. 
 
But what I've noticed recently in ranked matches, I've been getting a lot of Ryu and Ken match ups again like back in SFIV.

Eh, I find that it's less Ken and Ryu, more idiots. You can see my earlier rant for my distaste for this stupidity. Ken is almost always a win, unless the Ken is actually playing the damn game. Then he has a chance. Ryu, however, can flounder about like a salmon and win 5000BP. 
 
I finally hit B as Boxer, have 2k PP, so I'm quitting Ranked. I'm tired of being angry over virtual points. I feel like I'm hitting a brick wall of a learning curve and reflexes because of jackasses.

 @gosukiller:  I stand by my opinion on Salmon. It's like the Red Scare, but with less communism. Or possibly more. 
 
Anyways, I have actually had some good matches against A's and such. I fought a Ryu that actually knew how to play the game, and it came down to the wire but he managed to clutch it out. That was a match that actually felt good to lose, because he was obviously better than me and I learned something. I guess I had just managed to gimmick him out of a round and a half. I'm always happy when footsies are a concept in the other player's mind. 

How does one who "doesn't know how to play" perform in a match anyway?  I don't know how to distinguish one from a player who knows how to play.  I mean, if the player takes advantage of his character's abilities, isn't that legitimate since every character does have an ability/move that should allow the player to win the match against another character?

It's not that they don't know how to play, it's just that they will continually do stupid things in situations that they should be accustomed to. Diction fail on my part.
 
It's simple instinct. If you get hit by something, you're not going to want to get hit by it again. They however know so little about their character or game, that they try random shit to try and avoid this move. Or they simply lack the experience to counter appropriately, and if you don't have experience, you shouldn't be accruing points like no one's business. 
 
I've literally fullscreen EX Rush Upper'd people with no retaliation. Ryu can easily do a throw or tatsu, you could jump and punish, and win...but they simply stand and try and poke or throw a regular fireball when I'm too close to punish. The lack of knowledge is astounding.  I'm not talking about illegitimacy, go ahead and do whatever it takes to win, I'm talking about ignorance. 

oh okay, well that makes more sense. :) 
 
Yeah I do agree that a lot of players who have high BP still have a tendency to be easily baited or set up even if by that score, they should have known how to deal with getting out of bad habits in matches especially Ken and Ryu users.  But I guess maybe sometimes they just don't know how to deal with certain scenarios like when I keep doing the slow sonic boom and sweep as soon as they block, they keep blocking high even if I've done the same two-step tactic like 5 times in the match already lol!  I guess just some people tend to panic when they get confused, like me, even if I already know he's gonna jump and a simple uppercut will suffice, my thumbs don't react lol!

Yeah, reaction's definitely a different thing. I kind of lump reactions in with my argument, but that's for another time.

On a less serious note, I'm wondering who I should pick up between Sagat or Honda, maybe even Bison.   

*sigh* 
 
 Back to the training room. 

I recommend trying Honda, since our resident Honda left our group (Ricetopher).

Guy.  
 
Oh, Guy.  
 
Oh, Guyayay.
