>>257673252
>>that feel when you block it/dodge it and return the favor
>>257673473
>>that feel when you have a command grab and grapplers never see it coming
Who should I main?
Rose, Makoto, or Yun?
Poor mike,only realized he wasn't so good in the game is career is current built on too late to go back.I still think he is extremely entertaining,way more than gootecks
Oh hey a SF thread.
I think red focus is a waste on Makoto. Sucks I can barely use a new feature in this game.
>>257673473
If they grab you during your combos you're dropping your combos.
That's your fault.
>>257673639
all decent choices. I would say Rose or Yun. Nothing wrong with makoto either. If anything, play all three and see which one you eventually settle on
>>257673639
Yun is the best all around, and he's incredibly simple to play but insanely effective.
Makoto is Momentum: The Character
Rose is good, but you need knowledge of her normals, how to do safe Soul Spirals, and learn he BnBs, which have 1f links.
If you want easy wins, just pick Yun
>>257673710
Gootecks is fun when he's around Mike Ross. And he's pretty cool when he goes in training mode and just talks. But when he's competing it's hard to watch because he just gets mad at himself and it hurts.
>>257673803
Sorry those 1-2frame links are sometimes pretty fucking hard to do
Is Juri good for a beginner?
>>257673963
yes, yes she is
>>257673770
never used makoto, but i've still found good use of red focus regardless of who i play as
>>257673770
Oni main here enjoying the delicious tears of all who cannot enjoy this tasty red focus utility.
>>257673963
good as in,you want to defeat people?yes
good as in,you want to learn how to play?no
>>257673946
I know, I'm shit at the game too. but blaming grapplers is silly because if you're not confident you aren't going to make the link then just neutral jump and spammers will get punished everytime.
>>257673881
I've mained Makoto since AE and sometimes I feel like I just get bodied super hard and it demoralizes me.
Recently picked up Yun and Rose but Rose, although good, I don't like that keep away game. Yun is more rush down than Rose.
I thought I would like Rufus since I like rushdown characters but I hate him. Sakura is okay too, but she's pretty boring.
>>257673881
I will admit Yuns MP links are so fucking easy to do.
>>257674092
>dat gif
>tits are almost always center-frame
>>257674136
>mfw playing Oni and Ultra brought back all the bad players who have no idea how to deal with crossup demon slashes.
I have no business having the rating I do.
>>257674158
yeah but im trying to combo i'm not thinking OH HEY I SHOULD JUST DROP THIS AND NEUTRAL JUMP
>>257674176
Yun is definitely the most brainless out of the 3 characters. He's just as brainless as Sakura was in AE 2012 except even his most difficult regular combos are easy as fuck. And thanks to his RFC utility you hardly have to waste your time learning Genei Jin combos
>talking about fighting games on /v/
I was silly enough to get this for the ps3. I dunno, for the most part its great. But i feel I can't move forward as a player because the game or my controller doesn't always read what im inputting
>>257674136
I think Yun and Vega are top tier for Red Focus combos.
>>257674323
Maybe you should?
I'm still mad that alex wasn't in.I mean seriously capcom,people like 3 nowadays,i like the idea of a grappler as the flagship character
>>257673770
Red Focus is fucking great on Makoto.

>>257674435
>vega
No, Yun, Evil Ryu, and Viper are the top 3 when it comes to Red Focus Cancel utility
>>257674374
I really wanted to get good with Dudley, but I can't. I just can't. I want to, but for some reason I can't play the style I have to. Smug makes it look so easy.
>>257674410
heard PS3 had some wonky things with it. M.Ross complained about it a lot.
>>257674524
I don't agree. I think her EX should be used for many other things. EX Hayate would push him in the corner, and if she was in the corner that's even more damage.
Not playing this game until Capcom fixes the DDOS netcode.
>>257674542
Yea since the release of Ultra I also can't count how many times I've baited people into air back dash into demon as well.
It sucks though because I know I'm not improving as a player against these people and the other players just smash me. There's no middle ground players it seems and all my friends quit for Dota.
>>257674323
stop trying to do your combos mindlessly and bait things to see what the opponent does
paying attention to how the other person plays will help you win more than concentrating on hitting super swag combos
>>257674279
Why wouldn't it be? You a fag?
>>257673770
Red focus is fun for mindfuckery as Mak. Get the focus crumple mid combo, c.lk so they air reset late into the crumple then dash under them.
>>257674789

>>257674279
dat chin!
>>257674736
I can't really say since I don't play Makoto that much but my friend loves it so much on her.
>>257673252
You think that frustrating?
Try Dota 2 you're winning for 30 minutes because you have a push team, you have a XP and Gold advantage of a good 15k. Your stupid team mates go to farm instead of pushing highground. You lose the game because they're carry is feed as fuck.
>>257674736
yeah, I dunno, maybe its just because it feels and plays different then every other fighter i've played recently. But some matches everything comes out perfect, other's not at all. but the connection doesn't feel laggy at all.

>>257674736
Most characters would rather use their EX meter for other things than red focus, the same way they would rather use it for other things than super. Like super red focus is a situational option that is better on some characters than others, just like supers.
>>257674736
>tfw playing Dudley in Third Strike made me better at him in AE
>tfw red focus lets me get free Ultra 2s every round as Evil Ryu
>>257675358
Really?I don't usually hear a lot of people saying they learned someone in 4 by playing previous titles.
Anyone can testimony if this is possible with makoto?
What gets me more is when people do ultra at mid screen for no reason, and all I did was dash forward or back, and its too late to do anything since it happened at the same time. And then they try to act like it was a "read"...
>>257675190
>>257675495
my time playing ibuki in 3 transfered over well. You still have to get over the difference in play style and some move chances
>>257675495
I'm a 3s player and I can confidently say that every single 3s character plays much differently in SF4. Except maybe Dudley and Makoto a little.
>>257675176
God I hate the rank 50s for always mirror matching me and losing. Just pick your fucking main
>>257675495

>>257676001
>telling someone to use ryu with evil ryu in his top notch since ultra
>>257675815
Every single rank 50 that plays is a scrub. There are very few actual good players online. People like sandybags and biggiesmlzzzzz just fish for the same stuff and know how to play online well. If you actually get someone who is really good they will be like rank 20-30. Best I've seen online is Lance3rd.
>>257676001
Except Ryu is way better in 3s because of Denjin and his better pokes.
>>257676265
>Lance3rd
Talk to him once in a while on SRK. He's the real deal.
>>257675495
Nooooononono 3S Mak and SF4 Mak couldn't be more different.
>>257675681
This is what ticks me off. Retards pressing a button full screen at the same fucking second I start my shit. Happens way more than I care to admit, so I guess it's my fault.
Must work on powers of clairvoyance
>>257676084
Nah Akuma at the time.
Guy was probably just trolling though because my friends rank on 3soe is 2.
>>257676402
Do you play her?Doesn't she revolves around command grabs anymore or what?I was imagining she would be way more fun since I heard people focus on footsies so much in 4.

How do you get good at fighting games ):
I found a cool local arcade and I'd like to be a contendah
Where do you learn about frames and shit?
>>257676670
Nigger he still a character not a free pass to victory.
That said,that match was determined mostly by Choi's good performance rather than Daigo fucking up.
>>257676668
She's my main. Mak isn't able to launch explosive offense off of a Hayate anymore in SF4 due to the pushback leaving her out of range for a Karakusa follow up without complex Kara motions.
Her axe kick (Tsurugi) is a LOT better now. The physics on it are completely different and landing the mk version lets you do a full combo on a grounded opponent. You can even link U1 off of it.
>>257676714
>Where do you learn about frames and shit?
nononono,baby steps.
Which game are you trying to get into?When you are trying to get into a new fightan the basics you need to master is
>the game's unique mechanics in general and how it affects the norm of fighting games(focus attacks,air dashing,parries)
>each character and their matches
>find a character that fits your playstyle and keep training
>keep training
>train a little more
Then you move on to more frame data and such.Many pro players don't even care about this stuff really is what your muscle memory knows that makes the difference.
>>257674820
>wasting 3 bars of meter for a 50/50
>>257676578
It's because Akuma is so fucking saturated online. People get bored of fighting him.
>>257676714
Don't worry about frames, combos, ANYTHING, until you learn the absolute basics. Pick up any street fighter game (just because it's very basic for the most part). Pick the most basic character, most likely Ryu or Ken. Then work on being able to perform each move 5 times in a row. Once you can do that, do them all 10 times in a row. Then 15, then 20, then 25. At that point you've gotten basic inputs down.
Next, you want to learn about footsies and mixups. Be wary of which game you're playing and the type of mixups/footsies you'll be using. 3s is mainly based around chains and target combos, SF4 is mostly links. Learn how to do simple mixups like tick throws and cross-ups, then just evolve from there. Sit in practice mode just trying new things until you feel comfortable with your character. Now start learning very basic combos, like crouching medium kick to hadouken, or standing/crouching fierce punch to tatsu.
To learn how to actually play a game should only take about a month. After that, it's learning how to play matchups and specific characters.
>>257676714
online, watch matches, read up on things, watch vid's explaining things.
When fighting watch what your opponent does, try and figure out what you did wrong, what they did right. If you fight someone who uses a character you like, see how they do things.
Get the shit kicked out of you, fight people vastly superior to you, with one goal in mind. Don't get perfected. This will teach you how to block and predict things, as well as looking for openings for your own pokes and hits. That sort of thing will come in useful later. Use everything in every situation, just to see how/if it works.skull girls has an awesome tutorial. Just saying
If you are good at SF4, you have autism.
>>257677319
It's mindfuckery. Mak is built on this shit.
I never said it was optimal though, it's just something to play around with for fun.
>>257674323
for exemple i main zangief and if i mistime the light crouch jabs i have to stop and turtle since it's punishable by good players, there is no reason to insist and hope mash, literally the best move at that point is to do nothing even if it kills your tempo

I just enjoy it I guess. Call it autism if you want.
>>257678058
I know you're just riling people up, but I consider SF more of a hobby than just a game I like to play.
>>257673473
Get used to that happening with anyone who has a move with quick start up. Command throws, shoryukens, jab confirms into combos, etc. You just gotta practice the shit out of them, and if the match isn't smooth just do an easier combo.
>>257678225
there is only two kinds of vega players in this world:the ones that know what they are doing and win and the ones that don't know what they are doing and win.To bit the last one try to use more safe moves since you can barely read them,if you go for DPs they will probably punish mid air even.
Against the first one I dunno,I have yet to bet a good vega player,they are like sophisticated el fortes.

Something I like to do for fun is play Zangief and never command grab.

>>257673626
Ibuki is best waifu
>>257678058
and this is why you're shit at fighting games

>>257678771
I know right? You get in once on Vega as Mak and he has nothing to stop the rape train.
>>257676363
Ryu is the weakest he's ever been in any SF game in 3S though. He's a weak-ish mid tier, like Yang. Or like ST Ken in ST
>>257678742

do you green hand all day or what?Do you enjoy seeing your enemy back dashing thinking you will grab?

>>257678531
Thanks anon, your post made me chuckle. I also feel a little less dead inside.
At least in the 2nd round, he started playing a ground game. He was still a crazy beautiful spaniard and rekt my shit with the speed and crossups and slides.
>>257678851
And why you're in a special school
>>257676670
because daigo didnt do any shit hes supposed to do as e ryu.
daigo played e ryu just like ryu and thats not how to do it.
>>257678934
>>257678885
My friend who I train/play with constantly has a pretty solid Vega but even he knows how bad Vega is. All I really have to do is constant wakeup pressure and step overs as Makoto to break his charge. Vega's wake up is fucking terrible.
>>257677274
>Which game are you trying to get into?
Not that guy but for me it'sBlazBlueCT
As of now I basically just grind in training and arcade modes trying to churn out combos to get into the flow of things with a single character.
>>257675692
Me too, but god damn my Elena didnt port over to SF4 well at all, shes so fucking clunky feeling.
>>257678930
>Do you enjoy seeing your enemy back dashing thinking you will grab?
Yeah. Especially late game, people start getting tense and play keep away hard because they think that I've been maneuvering them the whole match. I once played an entire match with Zangief only using Lariats and c.lk, and I've started matches off as Ken with 4 DP's in a row. Just fun stuff to mess with people.
>>257678946
>Chun Li will never have a cop alt.
Feels bad.
>>257678801
while im not one for best anything. Im glad you enjoy her too.
>>257679218
seems like it. every elana player i've played so far seems like its really akward
>>257679102
that's what most characters that have a good matchup against vega do really,you can easily spot a bad vega player when they get into the corner and start to panic instead of defending on wake up or waiting for a grab to get out.
>>257679218
her lp to mp link is so fucking hard for me.
And I thought I was good at linking that shit.
>>257679228
My favorite thing to do in a match is to see how many consecutive overheads/throws I can land. My record stands at four overheads and five throws.
>>257678670this was the first Ultra Vega I ever played, I haven't even read the changes for himbuttons? I tried those. I just haven't the slightest clue what to do when he hangs over me like a cloud that rains razor blades. back medium punch is pretty great but im pretty sure that trades with the slash. the answer to my troubles probably lies within backdashes and zonk/H. Ruffian
>>257678225
Man, Vega was the hardest match for me to learn. For a good while I just accepted the fact that I was going to lose whenever I had to fight a Vega.
Against the shitty players who just spam wall dives and shit, you need to go into training mode and practice countering that. You can also try focusing out and dashing. Don't try to AA him unless you know it's going to work, just move out of the way and try to get a better position. Once you catch them on the ground you can usually just jump in all day and shit.
A good Vega though, fuck. You just get poked and grabbed to death. Have fun.
>>257678058
Because some people like to play games that involve skill and practice.
i want to main vega , is he viable or completely unplayable?
>>257679578
I mean he's viable but you need to be really fucking good as Vega.

In what kind of situation do you use this?
>>257679916
is that the one where he shoots across the sky?
i could see sacrificing the health maybe once a match to get in but against a good player that will lead to big damage.
>>257680086
depends, describe how you play raiden. (its been waaay to long since i played MK

Fuck Fuerte, he's a fucking gimmick character.
>>257677392
>3s is mainly based around chains and target combos
Target combos? What? 3S is based on confirms into super. The best characters in the game are the one that can most easily confirm into a damaging super (Chun Li) and the one that can both confirm into huge damage OR random activate for pressure and good damage if the opponent messes up (Yun). Makoto is also strong because with SA2 she has a TOD on like half of the cast off a single command grab

I always have no problems when I host a lobby with friends. But right when I go into ranked match, problems happen.
>>257681187
have a look at dhalsim,he is more zoning than defending but the rest sounds like the same to me
>>257681042
what? are you retarded? you SHOULD be expecting players online to wake-up ultra/special. You would have to be a retard not to expect that. It's you're own fault for being fucked by it.

The only 100% arcade-perfect version of 3S in emulating it on PC
Even the Online Edition has small inaccuracies
>>257683023
Online Edition is fucking awesome though. Iron Galaxy recently patched it.
Yeah OP, that happened to me just ten minutes ago.
I just came in here to say that Ibuki has huge boobs.
>mfw always forget of long ass ultras that can punish projectiles
>>257683023
Yes, i would kill for the next SF to be like SF3. So much more fun than SF4.
SF4 was ruined by auto-block and invul on so many non-ex SRKs. Turned it into this guessing game. Also, fireball spam in SF4 sucks, fireball recovery in sf3 was so much longer, made it totally non-spmmable.
>>257683726
i have no idea what you are talking about good sir
>>257683941
>Also, fireball spam in SF4 sucks, fireball recovery in sf3 was so much longer, made it totally non-spmmable.
and totally useless since parry. do you even 3s?
Has anyone else managed to use Oni's Air Ultra 1 for anything yet?
The only time I've managed to use it was air to air, otherwise it's still a hot piece of garbage.
I dislike Ultra system. I think I would've enjoyed the game more without it.
>>257683941
it probably might. While 3S has increased in popularity it didn't do to well originally. While it would be nice (or even do some kind of mixed system style. I dunno) I doubt we'll see it again soon
>>257678632
Are you me? I had a friend who would refuse to play because my Tager was too good for him, then bitch about how CSE Platinum was ez damage for no work and how he chose a hard character, Hazama.
>>257684279
It did badly because it didnt have any of the characters from SF2 in it. Eventually they caved and added Ken/Ryu/Chun.
>>257684196
Agree. It really breaks the flow of the game to suddenly go into this cut-scene mid fight. Imagine if you were playing counter strike and when you got a headshot it played this animation for everyone of the bullet going through their skull. Fucking horrible game design.
>>257684513
I dont get people like you. If your friend complains about you playing a character, and you're just simply better than them - say you'll play as whoever they like.
>>257683974
Yep.
How hard do you think shesqueezes them when she masturbates?
>>257686258
I like the Astral Heats/Destroyed moves in GG/BB though because they can only be used as final game finishers.
The reason I dislike Ultra is because it's a free comeback, and for shit like when you want to finish the round and then lolwakeupultra.
Though I have to admit I like being able to build Ultra meter by FADC'ing fireballs and coaxing zoning characters into attacking me.
>>257686345
because you are good with one character doesn't mean you are good with all characters.
>>257683974
Can I fuck Elana, yet? God damn I love that ebony goddess.
>>257686446
Yeah, but it should just be building up super meter instead.
>>257686454
If you are upsetting your friend, dont you think it'd be nice to play someone you're not as good at...?
>>257686549
She is clunky as fuck in SF4.
>>257686647
>If you are upsetting your friend, dont you think it'd be nice to play someone you're not as good at...?
You don't get better at fighting games by playing shitty players or good players on characters they can't play.
do you guys use controller or fightstick? and if controller, which one and dpad or analog?
>>257686749
I know. But I still play her. The only real issues I have with her is her floaty as fuck jump and that fact that he has only, like, 1 hit confirm and the window for it is small as hell. But she is still cute as hell and my waifu.
>>257686807
What...? That made no sense.
Learning to play every character in a fighting game is an extremely important step in getting good at the game. You cannot expect to beat someone who is playing as a character that you don't understand.
>>257686807
You don't get better at fighting games by getting destroyed by infinite combos that you're unaware how to escape out of.
Tell him out to escape from it or play someone else. You're the faggot here.
>>257686905
I use a hitbox.
I genuinely beleive that;
hitbox > keyboard > stick > pad
Very unpopular opinion, but waggling a stick around is always going to be slower and less accurate than button presses.
I often win local tourneys with my hitbox. The only sucky thing is that i cant use other people controllers or play at arcades :(
>>257687148
And the viralling starts.
>>257686989
understanding a character and being able to play them are not the same thing. I understand Gouken, evil Ryu, and etc but I can't play them. What your saying makes no sense.
>>257687235
I'm not allowed to answer his question and give my opinion?
I dont even have a hitbox, i have a homemade thing. pic related.
>>257687104
>infinite combos
Are we playing the same game?
>tell him how to escape
if he asks, sure I will. I will be glad to help. But beating up a bad player or a good player on a character they can't play doesn't teach you anything. Constantly playing against players that can't combo, hit confirm, fadc, and random ultra won't help you get better in the slightest.
>>257687238
If you understand a character, you should be able to play them, at the veryy least to a level to beat your friend who cries and quits when you win...
>>257687148
It takes forever to learn 720's on that shit though, so fuck grappling or practice for 2+ hours every day
Works perfectly fine for YOGAYOGAYOGA though
>>257687437
>I dont even have a hitbox
No. You have a fucking shoe box.
>>257687560
Not at all, i can standing 720.
a = left
s = down
d = right
space = jump
asd asd
asd asd

i dont see how thats hard to do in a split second?
>>257687467
You should be helping your friend understand systems and improve without them asking.
I always tell my friends how to beat me because then they catch up to my level and we can learn from each other. There's no use in just putting down lesser players over and over because not even you benefit from it unless you're just a cunt.
>>257687545
>who cries and quits when you win...
Then why are you playing with them when they are a bitch?
>>257687437
I respect the hitbox and understand the keyboard idea of inputs but my brain just doesn't work like that on the fly
I can bust shit out on my stick though without thinking about it
I hate all this controller debate that surrounds the FGC, play with what you like.
>>257687682
I'm not going to give someone advice who doesn't ask for it. That's just patronizing and maybe they are just trying to figure shit out on their own. But when they ask for help I gladly give it.
Anyone here from the West-Europe and/or USA East who plays on Steam? Hit me up for casual sets (gotta get better with Poison).
http://steamcommunity.com/id/MC_Ironbones/
>>257687793
Thats only because you've played with stick for a LOT longer.
I played on stick for about a year before a friend bought me a hitbox and told me all the advantages. At first it sucked, and i hated it, but then i got good and i've never looked back.
>>257687870
So you'd rather beat someone down to the point where they'd give up and never play with you again rather than just say "hey the easiest way to get out of it is this".
You sound like that kid no one wants to play video games with.
>want to git gud at SF4
>practice some really basic BnBs
>play against friends for hours on end
>think I finally got good
>go online
>get DP'd three games in a row
turns out my friends are just shit and it's too late for me to compete with the people who have years of practice
so i guess i have to wait for SFV
but considering how the gap between third strike and SFIV was about nine years i think i'll be waiting for a while
>>257687980
Not the guy youre replying to, but i agree. People ahve to be given room to learn in their own time. Sure, you can ask if they want some tips, but dont just start listing everything theyre doing wrong. That will put a lot of people off.
When i started playing SF (in SF3), i only played this 1 friend of mine for about 3 months. He beat me every single game, literally thousands of games. But eventually i got better, and started taking some games. Now i absolutely destroy him. If he tried giving me tips, i probably wouldve told him to fuck off.
>>257687980
No. I play the game and let them try to learn on their own unless asked for advice or help. Somebody who just throws a controller down with out actually making an attempt to learn isn't worth playing with. And no, I don't just beat their asses. I take it easy and let openings and combos drop. I don't punish everything. I let them try to learn.
People who want to be spoon fed everything and act like whiny autists aren't worth playing shit with. Luckily none of my friends are like that.
>>257687661
I can do an ez 360, but that shit's super inconsistent for me coming off a jump
other thing too is you missed the second jump input
>2000-2500 PP in SS4AE
>players are not stupid enough to make wakeup ultras
>always make stupid shit like meaties on wakeup with no consequences
>Ultra PP reset
>everyone's doing ultras on wakeup and I forget about it
>>257688203
Exactly. You aren't a little bitch. You are somebody worth playing with because you actually put forth the effort to learn and not just be spoon fed every fucking thing. But if you ask for help or advice, I would always give it.
It's called LEARNING THE FUCKING GAME
>>257688203
People get too sour about help I swear. When you're bad you need it I don't know why you would reject it.
>>257688305
That's a totally different story to what was initially posted that all this came from.
>>257688198
People who are good (I mean real good) at SFIV were already good at SF3, and SF2 before that. Don't wait for SFV. Instead, take as many beatings as it takes to gain the cognitive fortitude it takes to learn how to block wake-up DPs, and other basic shit. BnB's only go so far. You need the fundamentals to make use of them in the first place.
>>257688498
>neglecting the learning curve and years ahead everyone else is

can someone please explain red focus to me? I have no idea how to use it practically.

Is there any way to get all episodes of new Ultra Excellent Adventures without paying and waiting for weeks on youtube?

Ryu
>inb4 >using Ryu instead of E.Ryu
>>257689594
it's east and fun to play
>>257689732
No one's going to criticize you for using Ryu and not E.Ryu. Only Daigo/Sako dick-riders do that. Okay what you need to realize with turtles is that they are at the mercy of two things: Their health bar and the loss of it. And the timer. Think of the clock as their secondary health-bar.
What you need to do is full-screen them and zone with fire balls. Get the life lead and sit on it. Play their game, show them that you aint no Koopa turtle, you're fucking Bowser n shit. They will be forced to come to you. At that point, DP any of their jump-ins. Once you have them knocked down, proceed to cross them up and get all up in their shit.
>>257689732
You bully him, just outside of flashkick range you will beat him 100 % of the time with fireballs and eventually push him in to the corner. at that point space yourself so a jumpin won't catch you and brutally rape him with fireballs
>>257689732
Gonna have to get good at half circle forward shooting back at him. Evil Ryu has Akuma's multi hit Hadoken doesn't he? Use that.
Consider Focus attacking and dashing through a few but be careful not to get close enough to eat a Flash kick or EX Sonic Boom.
>>257689732
>using E.Ryu

you made the right choice, anonplay sagat
>>257690050
Disregard the E. Ryu tips. I read your post wrong.
>>257689732
was that every single black guy in japan?
>>257689732
Regular Ryu is actually pretty underrated now that everyone is using Evil Ryu instead.
Why is the raging demon input so fucking unintuitive
>>257690323
>flash backs to when everyone thought e ryu was d tier
>>257690323
He also has the second best super in the game which can help alot
>>257690323
Ain't that the truth. That video of the U.S. Ryu player completely wrecking Daigo's E.Ryu was hilarious. I hope Daigo gets off the hype train and re-baptizes his Ryu.
>>257674464
This is a good strat online but the sad thing is a lot of the time this is what the mindgames are reduced to on netplay: go for link or purposely drop to punish a DP that may or may not be coming.
>>257690517
Name a single move in this game that is "intuitive"
>>257690767
I think you meant to post in the smash bros. general
>>257690591
What happened was choi was a strong player and daigo never once thought what he would have to do to beat a strong ryu player with E.ryu. Valle wasn't that big of a deal since he has gotten a shit load worse in past years even though he is still a top tier player

>>257690897
If I'm honest, I honestly believe Daigo is getting worse the past years. Just like Alex. You gotta realize, both of them are old as shit. They two of them were grown-ass men when they were considered the kings of west & east back in Alpha 2/3.
Their reactions are dulling. They're growing old.
