My Blanka strategy remains the same - run away, keep away and capitalize on his mistakes but more on the defensive side because of Sim's overall stand P nerf. The nerf has made me play a more reserved game on Volt, similar to AE Try my rush-down Sim next time - for fun I think I can rush you down better than that 3000+BP Sim you played.
So the goal for the next tournament is to get your replays downloaded as many times as you can. ummmm....
ggs hieu, careful about trying to preesure sagat when he has meter though, you know he wants to uppercut fadc or ex tiger knee
Noooo. Patience is the key against shotos. Also its probably better to just play one or two characters and get good with them and learn their matchups. Playing lots of different characters is fun, but try putting more time into one so when you really want to win you can just pull them out. Your blanka was pretty good so maybe go with him, fei long and viper are also good characters that arent that common, so maybe give them a shot too.
If you click on tournament in the website, it will show the same results and if you scroll down some more, you'll see replay rally which will be on 1/12-1/15 where we will have to have our replays downloaded a lot? It says "Show off your best moves in this tournament where the goal is to get as many downloads as possible! Go for broke!". So couldn't we just upload one random replay each and every one of us downloads it? 4 more days and I'm ready to finish off the tournament as well as have a few friendlies against some of our new members. I played KaChigga's other account on the new years. 2 replays are up, both of which I lost. Too bad the replay doesn't show the lag spikes so you don't get to see the full story. Good games KaChigga, your Cammy is pretty beast.
This game is much more fun now with the team aspect and playing the people here. I just played -40 (C) yester day and he crushed me twice. He was really aggressive and I had no answer . Mr. Rockdi crushed me so bad I didn't ask for a rematch . I noticed BPs tend to fluctuate quite a bit. I went from 3200 to 2600 back to 3200 in about 15 matches last night. I wish people would realize that BP is not so hard to get and not care so much. Ken Ken- I recently played a couple Dhalsims that beat me pretty good. I think people are adjusting to he nerfs now and Sim doesn't seem as broken as I initially thought. Hope to play you soon
Being a charge character, the lag probably hurt you more than me. It was friendly to so it was all in good fun.
Oh, forgot to mention that we have a Platinum (?) Trophy for winning the Winter Championships tournament. And for some reason, it's only our team that the website displays the most recent 12 members consisting of 2 rows of 6 members whereas all the other teams, it's displayed correctly showing all their members. It's something minor, but it just stands out to me. It's not so much that speed matters, but the ping in the connection between the two parties. The delay in the information that's sent and received is much larger using WiFi compared to bluetooth which is why lots of combos that require a tight timing end up missing since we have to input a little before that what we are used to to make up for the lag and continue the combo. I've noticed that a lot of the low tier characters in Snooper's chart have great combo potentials, except that they require a 1 frame link. I never knew that Makoto could link 2 s.punches->s.kick->hayate until I saw nashberry landing those on me. If those could be perfectly executed every time, her damage output would go off the roof and probably land her in a higher tier. Same goes for vega, where he can do great damage with 1 frame link combos but with lag in play while using WiFi, more often than not, those combos get dropped. Solely because of that, Akuma is rated lower than he should be because of the s.punch link is so tough pulling it off consistently and his damage gets greatly reduced from what it should be.
Agreed. Sakura's tatsu, st. p link is so tight, as well as her uppercut, lvl2 focus link. But she really needs all that extra damage to make her viable at a high level. The same goes for her link from a hit confirmed cr. k into ex tatsu or uppercut. It seems like hit confirming cr.k with characters like bison and blanka is easy, but it's a tough link with sakura. I'm sticking with her though, I'm having a lot of fun.
I was at a friends house playing over Bluetooth, the timing was WAYYYYY different than online, it sucked
hahaha, it's always been good for us to play each other. Ken|Ken, I believe it will become 5:5 match pretty soon.. see! I told you you can do it. 3:2 for last time we play, was so close!! don't forget to mention the 2 set matches on the day before. I have no idea how you did that super strong defense and punish me like all at perfect timing. I lost you 2 sets then immediately faced Ken|Ken for another 5 set we mentioned above. very challenging day but I had fun!
Hey -40 what's yourGC ID? I'd like to add you.. Back in the day you would own me so bad, would like to try you again now
I'm not convinced that Sakura is the worst character in the game either. She at least goes above Vega, and her matchup is favorable against Honda. cr. k needs to be a tough link for her because it can't be autoblocked without crouching. It's the reward you get for going for that link.
Good fights -40, I'm at work and snuck in the bathroom for those two matches lol, I look forward to playing more with you. Your cross over on my wake up is really scary, need to learn something new against that lol. That was much more fun ten when you would own me every single time lol Did your comment thing used to say "teach me"?
It's cool man. Always fun playing at ur level. I did notice u properly focusing me but it wouldn't stun me... Is that lag or another Sim nerf? Also because of those laggy matches I'm in training room trying to pull off a psycho crusher to immediate EX crusher on recovery and teleport Ultra
