Ultra Street Fighter IV

[sith]

Yeah 7PM is fine

[Nate Dogg III]

Good man - that's half an hour less practice for me and an even easier win for you! Hurrah.

[Qazimod]

Individual matches for me vs. andygt are now live. I might see if I can use YouTube's built-in editor to stitch them together so that there's a view of the full thing

Qazi are you up for our loser fight tonight?

Should be; just throw invites at me when you see me

[mayor_mike_haggar]

I guess a lot of them are quite specific, but I don't think they're as hard as FADC U1, even. I would go so far as to say that while they're theoretically quite advanced, they're practically not all that hard. I think the real difficulty is knowing which ones to use in what matchups/situations, and then remembering to do things after the option select instead of just standing there like a lemon.

anyway I'm very clearly shit at the basics so I need stuff like that to give me even a slight chance.

Did you see my PM about using the command line to stitch them together, it works pretty much instantly. It stills takes a while to upload though.

[Plopboy]

So Qazi and Me are on for tonight, playing for that important accolade of not going out first and possibly avoiding the bottom tier award . Who will hold their nerve and take it all. HYPE!

[Nate Dogg III]

remembering to do things after the option select instead of just standing there like a lemon.

This is exactly what I'm worried about. It's why the EX Tatsu combo I do with Ken has so many light attacks in it, I need a really long hit confirm so my brain has enough time to work out which side I'm on and which way I need to rotate for the Tatsu input. Many's the time I've landed the ambiguous jHP crossup and been so elated that I spaced it right that I forgot to do anything afterwards. Same with that Evil Ryu combo. And the Seth Boom FADC stuff. All of them, now I think about it.

[Qazimod]

Full set for me vs. andygt. Apologies for the lazy cuts between matches

[Qazimod]

In other news (or I'm just trying to distract you from the above post) it looks like Xian's going to be training up for DiveKick when he gets hold of it

Attack No, Defend Yes: Guile Tactics

[Qazimod]

Note to self: dive kicks lead to flash kicks. In the face.

[JLM]

I have compiled a dossier on AndyGT's Guile in preparation for our match. The main special moves he utilises are the Sonic Boom and the Flash Kick. Interesting choices.

Here is an extremely wasteful Oni combo:

[mayor_mike_haggar]

Also for some absurd reason, he prefers guile in the dark uniform, as opposed to the delightful pristine white one.

I am tempted to buy a cammy costume set. But which one! Also, why on god's green earth haven't capcom discounted the costume packs for this. The madmen.

[JLM]

The white one is a thing of beauty. Cat suit Cammy is my favourite, then Bison Cammy, then Alpha Cammy.

Also, I propose that they buff Oni by allowing him to have 8 EX bars instead of 4, because every time I land a hit with him I go into a mad flurry of spending them all on no damage and I'd like to do even more no damage. I want to do a combo so long and so inefficient that the hits start to give the opponent health back by the end.

[mayor_mike_haggar]

I'm pretty sure you could have made it longer and less damaging by adding a few jabs in there, to confirm into each target combo.

[JLM]

Oh definitely, it's not optimised for min damage, but it's a decent effort.

[Nate Dogg III]

That awkward moment when you realise sith isn't on your friends list anymore.

[JLM]

His tag is sithlordx.

He is currently online playing Super Streetfighter IV. Don't let him warm up any further Nate.

[Nate Dogg III]

5-0 sith! Right result but there was some pretty horrible lag throughout. I belong in losers anyway so no complaints.

[ah]

The longer sets to make sure nobody gets randomed out are really proving to have been the right choice so far, anyway. 5-0s all the way? Not the result I predicted in my fantasy bracket.

[Lyrical Donut]

I think I've got my Adon counter pick sorted.

[imp]

Donut is bullying me with internet throws.

[JLM]

I am sad that sith vs. Nate was marred by lag.

[sith]

sith 5-0 Nate

Closer than the scoreline suggests, Nate took a few rounds and most of them were down to the last bits of health. Shame about the connection, was really hard to focus at times.

I'm willing to replay if you want Nate?

[Nate Dogg III]

You're a gentleman! But no need. It might change the score but it wouldn't change the result.

Lovely footsies. Was devastated when you got that ex dive ultra setup on me at the very end, I'd been looking out for it the whole time.

[wretcherd]

Shame about the connection, was really hard to focus at times.

[sith]

You see what I did there right??

Cheers Nate

I was really abusing cr.MK, can't help it, I swear I press that button before I even think about it!!

My anti-airs were so, so bad tonight and when you're not on point with T-Hawk with anti-airs things can go downhill very quicky. Remember the round you dizzied me? I was miles ahead to dead down to one missed anti-air!!

[mayor_mike_haggar]

So an adon mirror?

[cale]

JLM:

j.HP, cr.HP x EX Tatsu, fireball FADC DP? I had no idea fireball FADC stuff was even a thing after EX tatsu launcher. Siiiick.

[andygt]

As if I wasn't in enough trouble already JLM now has my two bestest moves downloaded

Re: the white uniform, I only wear that for Sunday best and its in the wash at the moment due to a hamster mishap

I hear pink camo is the new black though
