I had the same utra problem a few days ago in EB. Couldn't even remember most ultras and when I did, I just couldn't do them. Even had trouble with some basic moves like Tiger Shot and stuff.

I am still present, and am fully aware that I am in the bracket. Roxer's PM told us to post in the old tournament thread, but I would imagine this is where he wants me to post.
So here I am, posting away. |

i added Ant and asked him when he wanted to throw down...but he kinda seemed oblivious to the whole thing, so if i dont get a response, do i get the bye?

If I'm not playing Transformers or Red Dead when I return to Miami today, I'll be hosting EBs for the byes only. Not competitive, gonna train up my stable in an online environment with emphasis on Vega and Sakura - with some reaction training for my Cammy thrown in. Mostly a workshop deal, I guess.
See ya guys. |

Anybody else thinks having to use certain characters for a finite number of uses... limiting? Not trying to rock the boat so late in the game but once you really think about it hurts some players. People should bring who they want for how long they want. "imo"

Also; WfC > GoW by a fuckin margin. More strategy in a WfC team deathmatch than I remember in all my playtime in Gears. I'm not saying this as a Transfan - the game is fucking good.

gtfo. There wouldnt BE WfC if there wasnt a Gears. And maybe there wasnt strategy because you didnt play with a full squad (that can be said for ANY team based game)

You can't be considered the best in Call of Duty by only playing cage matches with RPGs. You can't be considered the best Rock Bander by only mastering one song. You can't be considered the best racer by only racing with PT Cruisers.
You can't be considered the best Street Fighter by only mastering 1 character. There are 35. I'm only asking you to master 5. |

- The Rock Band analogy might work if it's a competition that forces people to play Face-Offs with each instrument. But I doubt people would accept such terms. - The best racers only ever choose a single car to use, particularly in games where a player would have no real reason to use a lesser vehicle. He might need something that handles different, but then I might need another character to handle an opponent in Street Fighter. Bear in mind this is an argument for people who don't play 5 characters competitively. I got my four, and then I could use Ibuki and Juri adequately if push comes to shove. Alva has who, Abel and Sagat? That's a series right there if they lose all their credits. |

How did that 'across the board' proficiency work when we had those TBs and it's best to choose your mains for your team? Rather have a bitchin Alva/Abel than an Alva of all trades. There's nothing limiting about being awesome with one character.
Anyway; in future tournies you should make it best out of ten, no character limit, 3/5 rounds, all streamed on Justin.tv with me commentating. Dammit. |

Team battles require a team effort (obv) and its much different than...I'm not going to bother. I'm sure you get it tho.
It really would be cool broadcast these on jtv. If only someone who was in charge of the vault was in this. |

and also, to touch base on the subject, i would get bored as fuck using the same character in ANY game. Im a diehard Laker fan but i rarely (other than Roxer and mine's Suns/Lakers series) use them, most of the time picking different teams.
In UFC i never shoot for the same character, or go for Brock Lesnar/GSP/anyone i know who is ridiculously overpowered in the game. To be honest, i dont see how anyone can use a single character time and time again and not get bored as shit. Me personally, aside from the boredom, i like to test my ability with other characters. |

Okay: watching replay and posting results:
Match 1: Abel v. Ken - Came out strong as Abel, actually taking a big lead health wise before Ant began to work his magic and beat me the first round, and taking any momentum i had away. I avoid the sweep of the match but ultimately Ant puts in work. Ant wins by score of 3-1 (Ant-1 Alva-0) Match 2: Sagat v. Cammy - Pretty much stuffed Cammy's offense the entire match, keeping her at a distance while playing more 'defensive minded' Alvarado wins by score of 3-0 (Ant-1 Alva-1) Match 3: Cody v. Juri - Really good fight but some big lag kicked in. At one point in time the lag stopped but my guy was still idle for a solid 3 seconds (Ant backed away because he's a standup guy). Had a scare in the second round where i barely won by throwing a rock. Ant worked me in the first match with Ken definitively, and i'd say this was my redemption win. Alvarado wins by score of 3-0 (Ant-1 Alva-2) Match 4: Bison v. Ken - Good match. Went back and fourth the majority of the time, with close victories and wide margins both being had. In the end i was able to keep Ant guessing enough to make the right calls offensively. Alvarado wins by score of 3-1 (Ant-1 Alva-3) Match 5: Sagat v. Cammy - Okay here is where it gets sticky. The match was almost over with me about to take a W when it lagged out and took us back to the lobby. Me and Ant agree'd on calling that one a match and starting over with the same character. I know its best of nine, which means i had to win five, but seeing as how we were in agreement, we went ahead and used the same characters again. Alvarado wins by score of 3-0 (lagged out) (Ant-1 Alva-4) Match 6: Sagat v. Cammy (rematch) - Close ass game, with me taking the first two rounds then Ant battling back the next two. Though techinically we used Saga/Cammy 3 times against each other, like i said, we agree'd it was cool in order to settle the score. If this is a big deal and im DQ'd so be it. Alvarado wins by score of 3-2 (Ant-1 Alva-5) Alvarado takes series 5-1

And the most recent losers play eachother before moving on to the newest batch of losers.

The point of it being double elimination is to give the "average" players a chance while still being fun.
Its not a lot of fun getting bounced first round aganst Kalyx. |

Nobody cares who the best loser is. Im sure to be ousted in the next round, and im fine with walking away and trying again next year or whatever.
They dont have losers brackets in the pros. Your ideas are lame sauce Roxer, and you can go FUCK yourself. Hoe. |
