Oh, and one excellent and useful thing to know about Zangief is that after you land an SPD you can do his light punch Green Hand (Chernobyl Palm) move straight away and you'll end up right next to the opponent as they wake up and be safe enough to block. That setup is pretty much key to a lot of his basic mixups between doing another SPD (which you can easily buffer in during the green hand and do right away; lots of players unfamiliar with the matchup fall for this quite a bit, several times in a row), crossing the opponent up, another green hand to catch a backdash, or Ultra 2 (you can do it instantly in the air by buffering in the 720 motion during the green hand so you end on up-forward as it finishes then press punches as soon as you're airborne) to catch dragon punches/jumps/backdashes etc.

Green hand into buffered SPD is the best. I admit that it kind of comes out by accident with me as I'm playing on a pad, but it's so satisfying when it works.

I love it. Love it. Especially once you've done it a few times and can then do EX green hand or instant blizzard after the MP to catch their escape attempt. I did more Giefing in endless last night. Fought an Oni player who was all mashed uppercuts and gimmicks. I lost the first two, figured him out and then won the next four before he booted me from the lobby. I feel this will happen a lot whilst learning Gief. In the last game I caught him back dashing with a sweep in about four different situations and it was wonderful. The set was also good practise for SPD punishing moves that recover fast once they're back on the ground. It's not as bad as Ken's jab SRK, but with Oni the fierce and EX ones don't feel nearly as easy to punish as you'd expect.

Also after some grinding in training I have added meaty crouching LK - > Blizzard into my repertoire. Be afraid.

Whoever takes it has to fight me. Naked.

On Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition 2012.

I get the feeling this might be why no one's grabbed the code yet :eyebrows:

Still available folks. Can't 100% guarantee it'll work, but am pretty sure. Seemingly it can be redeemed for PC as well through GFWL.

Lads. Lads. Lads. I basically need to tell everyone I know and care about the following thing.

I've managed to procure a ticket to a preview performance of a play tonight at the young vic, with patrick stewart in it. I know one or two backstage people, so will be having drinks with the after, and members of the cast often join in. So hoooopefully, I'll be being bought drinks with my new best friend Pat Stewart tonight.

I had a brief and functional conversation about where the toilet was with Sean Connery once and did my best make it completely normal and "yeah man just over there" and "See you later" and stuff when really my head was all "I HOPE HE THINKS I'M EXCELLENT AND SAYS WE SHOULD BECOME FRIENDS AND DO MOVIES AND GO ON ADVENTURES TOGETHER!".

I met Dan Aykroyd on Tuesday. I was briefly dumbstruck by the experience. Nice bloke though.

I've had experiences much like the one you described above, along with the requisite moments afterwards where your brain goes 'Yeah, I think I handled that well... oh wait, no, I probably came across as a dickhead.' No? Just me? Never mind then.

Dhalsim is hella tough to play well, you need to concentrate so much on spacing, prediction, which normal does what.

Not to mention that I can't do yoga flame into super at all. HCB into 2xQCF messes with my brain too much.

What? He's super easy. He has stretchy limbs.

I can't do flame into super either. I saw Donut do it at heggfest and haven't played Street Fighter since.

Wait. A friend of a friend also met Dan Akyroyd the other day, posted a photo on Facebook. In an offie on Old Compton Street.

COINKYDINK.

I do that even if it's just a normal conversation with an everyday human. I would love to meet Dan Akroyd and ask him every question about Ghostbusters he's already sick of answering.

On tuesday? Did you romance him up?

I bought a bottle of his Vodka (which he signed), chatted briefly about god knows what and then stumbled out into the early evening air. Does that count as romancing?

It is now sitting in my living room in all it's 'Crystal Head' glory, daring to be opened. I've tried the actual Vodka and it is definitely a drink worthy of such a crazy-ass bottle.

if the photo was of Dan Aykroyd with an attractive young lass in Glasses and a fat fuck with a ponytail... yes, that was possibly me.

it was actually kind of scary how many people I saw at the signing who I did know (at least in passing).

It was a total stroke of luck that I got out of a meeting early enough that day to bust into London, meet my girlfriend (who picked up my GB1 Cast photo on her way in) and make it to the Offy. I now have a picture signed by Ernie Hudson and Dan Aykroyd. Which only leaves the two most difficult ones to track down left. I live in hope that Bill Murray will turn up at a party I'm at and start doing the washing up, or singing karaoke. He's apparently prone to that.

Bill Murray will pounce on you from behind in the lower east village in new york, place his hands over your eyes, and go 'guess who'. When you turn around he will say "no-one will ever believe you", before walking off.

Apparently he's been doing that for years.

My mission in life is to do the exact same to him, only finish off with "no-one will ever believe me". Which I'm pretty convinced will instantly make us firm and lifelong friends.

Thanks for the games Lenticular and Yasawas, I don't think I embarrassed myself too much but my Dan is very rusty due to all the Elf I have been playing. I have realised with ELf that once I get in the groove and don't back off I get on fine but I'm still not confident enough to keep the pressure up all the time and end up running away like a big girly.

ggs though :)
