I don't get it. If you are in the air you absolutley should not be able to jump over the second you land. I've caught so many people that way with a fireball trap and they just hold up and jump over it.

I don't mind getting attacked from the air. (Well, I do but I won't bitch about it. Abel can absorb 1 hit, why can't Akuma?) What pisses me off is I enter it at the highest point of the arc and they're stilll able to hold up to get past it.

Or I push them all the way across the screen to leave me vulnerable for a few frames. That's always fun.

It would be interesting to give it armor status while he's floating to you, perhaps for the Ultra version, at least. Maybe add a vacuum within a certain range like that fatass' spinning bullshit. During my tenure with Akuma through the years I caught more than a few people regularly but I can't comment on this game as I've retired his ass when SF4 came out (for unrelated reasons).

All in all, you should probably accept a Sakura beating as 'just another day', and not get frustrated over your character's moves.

GOT IT, BUB?

My custom soundtrack during Sakura play:

Avril's "Girlfriend"
Ashley's WWE theme "Light a Fire"
Stan Bush's "She's Got the Power" (Sailor Moon soundtrack)
Inu Yasha ED "My Will"
Paramore's "Misery Business"

And other gay shit that in a playlist I call "Sakura's iPod". This is what I beat you people with. Think about it.

I think you're a nerd

At least I don't commit KOcide.

Kokujin.

Yeah?

Nothing in particular.

Yeah.

WHATS GOING ON HERE!?

Kokujin = black man.

I was trying to talk to him in some nerdy ass moonspeak.

All this news and I nearly forgot; Tournament DLC out tomorrow, now for PS3 users.

Since my cell phone distracted victory over Roxer, I've been using Guy almost exclusively. Think I've found a new main.

Guy's gay.

super gay

My brother just spams shit with him. T. Hawk and Abel = anti-Guy

Didn't think I'd be doing meaty attacks in this game.

Care to elaborate?

Meaty attacks are done when an opponent's getting up. You start an attack early, often a low kick, so when they get up they have to block the attack or eat it - which you would then combo into. In SSF4 the reversal window is really large, though, as in performing a special withing a few frames of getting on your feet gives you invincible start-up frames (English: Ken's wake-up shoryuken that goes through your attacks). In SSF4 it's a large window, so meaty attacks are risky.

Since people bait reversals now, some started to get up slow and hold back, which makes meaty attacks viable again. My last few matches tonight had a lot of meaty attacks, particularly against Drakul when he used Hakan. I did some on Alva's last match as well.

I see. My youngest brother does this a lot. He'd be great if he weren't so predictable in other areas.

So I got this game like 3 weeks ago. Been alternating between this and RDR. Thought I was pretty good, so I finally decided to play someone online. I think I lost like 15 straight fights.

Wanna be in the tournament?

Kalyx, remind me I have replays to show you

Damn I wish replays could be uploaded on a streaming site.

I got my ass handed to me by a comboing B+ Ibuki after everyone left

Block.

Ohhhhh

hONDA IS FAIL, OTHERWISE, i LOVE THAT SHIT.

Fuck you capslock.

Abel and Gief look badass.

Someone over at GameFAQs said Zangiefs new alt makes machine noises when he moves and adds a robotic sounding filter over his voice. Kinda hoping that's true.

Is Abels outfit supposed to be Alex from SFIII?

I haven't noticed but I think you're right. The straps are up this time.

Are we playing tonight? I'm thinking about going to bed early tonight

What's "early"?

I'm down for some games, but I have a couple of errands to run. Sadly, I have to cross the Whitemud to do this, so it's going to take forever, what with the endless construction.

I may try out the Tourny mode but I otherwise gotta get ready for Miami and Supercon.

Fuck, it'll be nice to play against real people again (other than my brothers).

Forgot you just a bit of a hiatus. Better catch us tonight.

The asshole who lived in my apartment before me cut the phone line. Like the actual wire. Had no internet for 2 weeks.

Shoulda gone with cable.

Very good looking considering it's not finished yet. I would like to see all 35 characters make it in but I'm having a hard time believing it'll happen.
