daigo is playing guile
what is going on
that's impossible
I wish I was decent with charge characters, I would totally rock vega
im looking forward to fighting my buddy who plays a mean vega this summer
his normals are pretty nasty and he has an airthrow so I do alright
didn't i beat one of your dudes with my Fei?
I am the anti-pro
1337 g4m3r
that dude's execution is downright robotic
you can't step to my fly gaming skills
I just like nailing guys with pipes
sneak beats me with sakura 24/7 everyday
not evidence that sakura isn't garbage
stop hitting on me shoe
but you're so attractive!
all the characters I like either have shitty fireballs, (dan, cody) or no fireballs (abel, gief, vega)
this doesn't bother me except when I have to fight a dude who is FIREBALL PARTY like akuma or gouken or sagat
it is my gift
it is my curse
did I tell you that I've been practicing a lot against Balrogs so's to combat yours more successfully? I've got a long ways to go because fuck his reach
So fun.
watch for headbutts, block and punish the holy living shit out of them because they are the most unsafe crap in the universe and i need to learn to stop throwing them out like goddamn flaming shoryus
overhead dash punch is slow to hit and slow to recover. if rog's arm goes up over his head, block high and punish punish punish. it's pretty easy to block on reaction
learn the range f.headbutt or TAP will go through a fireball and hit, and stop using fireballs at that range
a lot of you can't mount an offense without jumping in, or really close distance without jumping. you lost 75% of your life to headbutt and c.fierce. be very careful about your jump ins, rog has great aa
2 flowchart Kens and one Ibuki. Guess which match I actually enjoyed?
The 2nd Ken did a one round match.
He should be glad I don't send hatemail.
Which, you know, is sad, since it's so natural to do it.
EDIT: Also punishing with throws instead of a real combo.

what you want to do is a safe jump when you have an untechable knockdown.
That's exactly how I play.
dudley jumping HK
beats everything
1. starting offense with jumping
2. punishing big whiffs with a throw instead of a higher damage combo
3. wakeup ultras
4. meaty focus attacks
so I'm looking at sticks
the tekken one is tempting because it's cheap
but I can't get a solid answer on if it's good but not as good as the te or just plain crap
keep in mind I've been rocking Whippy's TE stick (that sounds way gayer than I meant it to) for a bit now
I'd hate to take a step backwards when I'm just getting used to this really good one
so what's the deal should I drop 80 bones or almost double it in the name of quality ANSWER ME DAMMIT
though I really will double it because I'll probably get one of the femme fatale sticks they're selling on ebay for $169.99
pink is manly
good plan, me
nah not really
especially if you're using a fairly simple character like cody
charge characters are pretty hard to do certain things with without a stick
at any rate you should at least pick up a fightpad, if not for your skillz then for your thumbz
