The thing to know about honda is to never play aggressively when he has meter.

" @Stang: lmao. I wish. Looking pretty bleak atm, I feel bad this match is holding up the tourney. I should drop out so that the all-star tourney can begin anyway, let these guys duke it out. haha. "
O shit I forgot o sign up for that one. However I seriously doubt you'll be able to get people to play all the matches in a double elim tournament.
I maintain that the deciding factor was the repeated splashing. I honestly just can't tell exactly which of those are punishable with reversal TT; I only know that some of them are. You probably hit me with that shit on wakeup every time I was down. Like I said though, I now know the data on that trap, and it will never work on me like that again. I probably just should have looked it up between games.
none of the buttslams/splashes are punishable by TT. All the slams except for the hk version only give you a 2 frame advantage. The hk buttslams gives you 3 frames. The times you were able to throw me happened because I was trying to throw you but you had frame advantage. BTW ex buttslam is god-tier. You can ultra both mp and hp headbutts, or use the rekka combo or whatever it's called. One strategy that always beats honda is to memorize the range of his lp headbutt, and stay slighty out of that range. Then just try baiting things out and whiff punish. Also, TT beats ochio throw, but ochio throw beats abel's roll. So roll >> TT isn't that great of an option. Your mixup game was good, but you never figured out when to let off the pressure. It got so predictable that I was able to psychic ultra you out of a TT attempt.
" You guys are still waiting on purerok? Time to hit the dq button perhaps? "Once it is officially the 16th then I will just DQ him, but you never know.

You haven't made any effort to contact me in the last week. How am I supposed to play when you are hardly ever on? I'm here all day.
What the hell are you talking about? I sent you a PM and said I'm on from like 3-5PM PST to play and I don't even get a response. I've been on my 360 every day playing Street Fighter, where you haven't even logged on Live since 12/10/09. Clearly you haven't been on here either because we've all been talking about the tournament except for you." @lordofultima said:

I have an idea that is very fair and appropriate. The two of you are disqualified, and I am given the spot. I think we can all agree that this solution is the only way to move forward. Thoughts?
If not, get your asses online and fight. Both of you imagine the other guy is my ugly ass and pummel the shit out of me. Get to it.

" @Stang said:Fuck that, if anybody is getting DQ'd, it's the both of you. You guys still have time to fight, but if you're going to bicker than I think Stang should take your place(s)."

I was online for like 3 hours fighting West, because I was waiting for PureRok to sign on. I checked my friends list while I was there and it said he hadn't been online in 11 days. But regardless, I asked him what time was appropriate to fight him online, and have been on every day within that time-frame plus some since, and I haven't seen him online. So if he wants to be disqualified that's fine, I'm probably done playing for the day -- if anyone wants to dispute it I will step out too.

"Didn't we send each other a PM and then get on and play out matches in like a few hours?
Yeah. What.
No one can say you haven't been online.
People that send me invites when I'm fighting someone else really upset me. JUST SAYING. Like I'm going to stop playing someone, oh sorry man stang invited me SEE YA." @lordofultima said:
Cha Ching! All yall bastards owe me 100 cool guy dollars. I expect it by tomorrow. And accept my damn invite!!!!oneone "" I was online for like 3 hours fighting West "
I'm also DQ'ing myself because I feel it's in the interest of fairness. Which means congratulations SPOA YOU HAVE MADE IT TO THE FINALS FUCK YEAH.
" @lordofultima: Out of fairness you are dq'ing yourself? You have made yourself as available as possible, why punish yourself? I know for a fact PureRok was not on live for a long stretch of time. You have posted here daily and have been on Live daily. I say you move to the next round. Don't give somebody else a free ride when you did nothing wrong. "No I already removed myself and purerok from the brackets, so there is no going back. I can't add myself back to the brackets, THE BRACKETS CANNOT TELL A LIE. SPOA HAS MADE IT TO THE FINALS. CONGRATULATIONS SPOA!!
" @Stang said:Don't throw your toys out of the pram because of PureRok. Just continue to the next round and fight Spoa. That's the rules. No show and you get disqualified. You showed. Rok didn't. So he is disqualified and you go through to the next round." @lordofultima: Out of fairness you are dq'ing yourself? You have made yourself as available as possible, why punish yourself?

" Who the fuck is Spoa? "He's in grand finals, YJDK. Spoa will get this shit mad hype.
Spoa is a solid Rog player. I had to play him for the tournament and we mirror matched the entire fucking time. Went to the final match but he came out on top. His execution is definitely better than mine, but Rog mirrors are a weird match anyways.
I don't get why ultima is DQ'ing himself either, and nobody really needs the bracket, there's only like 3 matches to be played so... yeah I think ultima should just go ahead and play spoa.
Also ultima I still haven't played you even though you're always on, you were joinable the other day but I kept getting an unable to join error. We should play sometime.
" any street fighter tournament on Giantbomb is doomed to epic fail. I thought we learned that long ago. "Well hopefully we will be able to run a tournament with more organization when Super comes out. The lobbies and team battles, along with tournament feature being released later down the line, will make running tournaments super smooth.
I might, but I'm telling you spoa is serious, he will probably beat me anyway judging on him being a turtle balrog. (worst matchup)
" @lordofultima said:There is no other option against Balrog. Guile and Honda share a similar fate. I just turtle it out." I might, but I'm telling you spoa is serious, he will probably beat me anyway judging on him being a turtle balrog.

" @Scooper said:Yeah.. I do the same vs Balrog. His headbutts piss me off." @lordofultima said:There is no other option against Balrog. Guile and Honda share a similar fate. I just turtle it out.

Turtle rog's don't bother me anymore, they typically turtle for a reason...they don't know what to do when you get up in their grill. I just don't let up when I knock them down. The problem I run into is that if they get a life lead, it can be very hard to play in the style necessary to win.
Since we are on about Rog's, I am going to play TKK either tonight or tomorrow, anybody here have any first hand experience against this guy? I know I can stand up to his Ryu/Vega/Ken, but his Rog is fucking intimidating. Any first hand tips?

Hado-shoryu spam.
" @Stang said:I got owned by Stang's Ken, but not because of any type of spam. It's exactly as Stang said; I have no freaking idea what to do when he's in my face. I'm not sure how to safely wake-up when he knocks me down and he's standing over me. I've gotten less turtly than I was before though, so I guess that's a plus."
