If it doesn't work you have four extra seconds to make up for it.

Well as it turns out the Halloween costumes that were said to drop in December with the update, are in fact Halloween costumes and will drop on the 30th. Could have sworn they said they'd drop with the update but this is the best kind of miscommunication.
I played online yesterday and needless to say I've whatever spark that made me somewhat competent at this game. Gotta train myself back up. In semi related news my TTT2 record is a damn shame. People are animals in that game. |

They were fun, though. Getting that rust off was good. I could see in real time shit coming back to us. Lei was doing nothing for me and I picked Guile just to play with Sonic Boom a little. I love Christie.

Capcom finally admits they goofed up when they took out the free characters for the Vita version without informing people about it. Lots of complaints by Vita owners of the game when they found out Capcom pulled a bait-and-switch move once they bought their game.
Capcom went so far to even lock out people who bought the characters on the PS3 from using them on the Vita version. Although Capcom is fixing the mess by giving away the free characters for both the physical and digital versions of the game. http://www.screwattack.com/news/capc...xt-dlc-debacle |

If I can try and isolate my biggest issues:
- I freak the fuck out, still, when people are right next to me. This may seem ironic considering my tactics, but there's a world of difference between me initiating close combat and it being out of my control. My careless whiffed reversal attacks show this. - Once I get a groove on, I tend to screw tagging to go for the kill. This costs me much in a game where combos are the penalty for one bad guess. I need to respect the lifebar more than my perceived momentum. - I don't trust a random attack enough to convert to a boost combo. Funny thing is I land random normals all the time, but when I want to go into the full boost combo I bomb. This is especially true with Sakura and Nina. - I keep forgetting you can go into EX Specials, Supers, and Team Supers right from the boost combo Marvel style. And for that matter I should end more combos with supers anyway. |

It's worth that much, even if it is already a few patches behind. |

Gotta say, the worst part about Capcom's mismanagement of the game, and it's subsequent bad sales, is that there probably won't be a sequel. Which means this is the only game we'll ever see the tekken movesets in. Sad, because they are really fun to play with, and I'm interested in how other tekken characters would transfer over. I suppose if Tekken X Street Fighter does well enough it might happen, but that might take a miracle. |

At the start of a match or when it starts heating up, I will lay down smart pressure and mix-ups. I back down when your meter's full, and I keep jump arcs in mind. Then toward the end I hear Shao Khan yelling "Finish Him!" and I blank out charging at people. Funny thing is in SSF4 where the 'wake up ultra' trend began, by desperation or intentional, I respected it. Now I make really bad gambles. What I'm focusing on right now: - Tag often, regain life. I cannot wait til after 50% or worse when I'm flashing to tag. It just saves a wounded horse that will do me no favors later on. - Tunnel my SSF4 Cammy viciousness. Nowadays I switch it up for no apparent reason and I need to go back to playing it straight until the enemy convinced me he's adapted. - Hit the lab. I've been playing Lars mostly by ear and I need to put some tricks into muscle memory. He's starting to click but not enough for me to react correctly under certain circumstances. Lei as well. I've also developed an interest for Bryan. - Give Xiaoyu another chance, I miss Chicken Head. - Capitalize on confirms. I've already begun this, but it's embarrassing that it's starting after all this time. Lars is 200% more dangerous when I cancel into his specials. Quote:

I could almost see Capcom adapting some of the Tekken movesets into a brand new fighter for a new Street Fighter game, but even that seems a stretch.
Also, I'm down to play this week but I'll be on late. Prolly like midnight, your time. And we need to throw some Tekken Tag 2 in there somewhere. Need to test out my Kunimitsu. I was winging it with her last time, but now I've got a feel for her combos and stuff. |

The online did get better. Akuma has his uses, Zangief as well. You boys come back!
I just redid most of my gem loadouts for all of my characters. Took how I currently use each character into account. |

I probably wont be about until Wednesday at the earliest.
Not really related but I want to make my own Sodom T-shirt. Have it orange with large blue text on the front that reads DIE JOB DEATH CAR? with a blue sillouette of his mask above it. Seems like too much work to find the right image and t-shirts cost something like £30 or $60 or something. |

I played the Alpha games on my Ps1 when I was younger and, even though I didn't focus as much as I do now, I enjoyed guys like Sodom and Birdie. Prefer Sodom to Birdie, though.
Big and slow has always been my "style". |

I think a part of the reason I'm getting wins, is because you only use a small handful of characters, whereas I use over half the roster, so I don't have to adapt to new strategies as much as you do.

Yeah, I've been working on that one for a while. Second half of the combo only works in the corner, but the first half pushes you pretty far, so it doesn't have to start there.
I enjoy hitting those 3 bar tag cancel combos, a lot more than super arts or cross arts. |

Fucking love my new Gem set-ups.
I put Christie thru the lab and took her online. She's improved on the combo front. Also put some work on Lars, particularly finding uses for his EX dodge and his Jaguar Kick thing. Getting closer to finally breaking a 1000bp. Can't believe I had such a hard time winning in Ranked. |

Ranked was one of the reasons my interest in this game ended so fast. It felt so uneven, in favour of Tekken. I would get genuinely worked up over it and I'm usually pretty laid back when I lose.
I wouldn't be surprised if the 2013 update gave the Tekken cast rifles. Let them cut to the chase with a one hit kill. |

Like I said before this game is not soft on Tekken characters, it takes some practice to make them work in what is, in the end, a slightly modified Street Fighter game. There's Tekken players who wish the game had more Tekken cues in there.
