Going back to the lab.

I'd feel better taking more chances with combos if it wasn't so laggy tonight.

It's $27.99 at http://www.gamestop.com/Catalog/Prod...c=ps3merch2txt and $29.99 at http://www.amazon.com/Super-Street-F...4790951&sr=1-1 for you guys who were waiting for the price to drop.

A fucking steal for this awesome game. Jean Kalyx plays Super Street Fighter IV and so should you.

I assume, story wise, that C. Viper's new attire is the complete set of her combat weapons. Why didn't Chun-Li get her alpha attire?

Also, More Characters?

This game's gonna have a wild roster. Oh God please let there be Karin.

Would really like Rolento, think he'd translate well to the SF4 style. Also more SF3 love. Alex and Yun/Yang preferably.

Would be sweet if they went back to the first Street Fighter for some DLC characters. I'd play the shit out of Geki.

R.Mika and/or Poison, please.

Yeah, it was said Poison would never be in because of confusing gender issues. It's not the 80's/90's anymore, we can hit women in videogames. They can "retcon" her back to female, now. Problem solved.

Also, Rolento and Sodom would be cool. I'd be interested in finally trying Birdie out "properly" now, to.

God, still no chun li alpha attire.

Lame.

Nice quick ranked battles this morning. Got Sakura to a C rating after a few wins. Noticed Hasney has a C+. It'll be nice if he joined up in some Endless Battles. I'll be playing with a few purposes over the coming weekend so just know any matches with me aren't 'money', I'm testing out theories and working on 'out of character' approaches. I wanna polish myself before I take a break to catch up on Battlefield and enjoy RDR.

I'm at a point where my previous uncertainty about the tourny's outcome is lifting, and I'm feeling far more confident than a few weeks ago. Sakura is seriously vying for Cammy's main position. BTW I'm starting to punish recovery with combos more often so WATCH YOURSELF.

Also my new controller set up: Face buttons are still SNK style, but R-Trig is now KKK while L-Trig is PPP. After much thought, I concluded that the advantages of an assessable Focus Attack is overshadowed by the blunders caused by manual KKK. I've lost matches over the failed EX or Ultras due to trying to get KKK pressed. While FA saved my ass a few times, I'd say my new approaches that are contingent on KKK EX/Ultras more than supplement the diminished role of my FA set-ups. I already used this set up in matches and while I did catch myself pulling L-Trig for cancels and charges, I was adjusting well enough.

As I told Khuntry, the thumb stick is my permanent device for movement and motions. Fuck the dpad.

I didn't know you could see that about your friends, I'll have to have a look.

It's more addiction than skill though, got about a 50% win ratio (60% with Ibuki specifically I think). If you guys are playing Sat/Sun late-ish my time, I might jump on drunkenly (3-day weekend woo).

Defo, before I got my stick, the thumb stick was better than the 360 joypad for sure.

I actually want this :wavesad:

I read it showed that image for 5 seconds every time you turned it on, though. That would be annoying after a while.

NO IT DOESN'T

it's 8 seconds

You can probably turn it off anyways. My TV can do a little jingle everytime you turn it on or off, but I got rid of that. It will just be replacing the warm-up time so if it was off, it would probably be a black screen for 8 seconds.

Bro transferred his DLC licenses to the current 'Box, Shoto Sakura's back woo. Cammy's Bison gear has terrible colors. Not one black or purple scheme. Disappointing. One of Chun-Li's schemes on her new attire is pretty cool, does away with the puffy shoulders.

Fear Cammy's cr.fp - cr.mk xx f.cannon drill. It's so useful I feel bad using it.

All of my irl friends suck hard at this. I'm double perfecting guys while being so drunk I can barely see. No wonder none of them want to buy it. :(

You should sandbag ever so slightly to keep them interested. Raise your level as they get better. Sometimes that sort of thing is needed.

Only 1 guy is legit into it, but he is the very definition of "rage quitter" so I basicvally have to let him win all the time.

Oh... one of those. Type of guy who thinks he shouldn't ever lose and when he does it's Hell for everybody around him. You can't even talk trash because he'll take it personally, and it's fairly certain he's not competitive at all - he approaches competitive gaming as he would single-player, where the inevitable, required outcome is to win. But in fighting games and such it's literally you or him, and if you don't tighten up it'll be him... over and over.

I'm not making an argument for the elitist 'Playing to Win' concept but I know guys who aren't mentally capable of taking a loss.

I got double-perfected for the first time ever last night and instead of feeling rage, I actually put the stick down and just went "wow".

It was actually quite epic to watch.

When I get 'punk bitch'd' (that's what we call it) I wonder what the fuck I was doing the whole match. You should at least hit somebody by mistake. Pisses me off enough to cause me the second match. lol

Yeah, I'm no Daigo, but you have to be pretty good to double perfect me. Not even chip damage? Fuck.
