1- Wow, 9PM is the time to play if you want to easily win 4 tournaments in a row in G3

I can't even sign onto PSN in the evenings, thats when most my problems occur! Although the fix I posted for the 'losing GP' problem, seems to have worked for me.

I am 16 points away from G2, at last.

I am finding the competition in G2 tough tbh, almost every game from the first one is tough and v close. I try to only join games with 3 bars plus and they seem a lot easier to find in G2, but I have definately noticed better players in G2. I only got to the final once so far and that championship didn't conclude =/ I think I will be on G2 for along time!

I was trying out Sagat again before, I think I am gonna go back to him. I use to play quite recklessly with Sagat but a lot of the time you can get away with it, he does insane damage. With Ryu it's more controlled, if I can take some of the things I learnt with him over to Sagat I hope I improve with him. The next time we play I should be back onto Sagat.

Just had 3 games. Got to round 2 twice and 1st round once. No points for round 1 loss, but 5 points each for the round 2 defeats.

I imagine it will be a while till I successfully win a tourney tbh.

What u still doing in G3

Kreeeee · 16 May 2009 at 00:22

I don't play enough to have gotten into G2 yet (normally 3 ranked games at a time) and I normally play when all the decent people are on, but I'v gained 500 GP in much less than an hour playing when all the nubs are on so should get into G2 and getting my ass whooped again soon.

Kreeeee · 16 May 2009 at 01:45

Finally in G2 now

And just how many people are playing Akuma now! They're such easy wins so I'm not complaining though, spamming their Ultras and eating my hits

Fight stick or tournament stick??

Fight stick upgraded with sanwa parts.

On another note, with less than 5 hours use, my prized (and I was very excited when I ordered it) Akuma pad is stuck moving left............

Imported it from Amreica after buying through e-bay, anyone know if I have any chance or a refund/replacement/repair at all???

Can anyone give me any tips for defense please?

I'm getting really annoyed at how bad i am at this game. I have a stick with sanwa parts and i'm still rubbish!

If i have a match my end score will have an E in defense!

Reality|Bites · 16 May 2009 at 14:46

The lower your health bar is the worse the grade will be..

That doesn't mean anything, a close game will always give you a ton of E's.

ignore your grade, that stuff means nothing anyway.

as for defence hold back to block. generally speaking you want to be blocking low most of the time because this blocks everything except for overheads, this includes all jumping attacks. certain normals and specials also hit as an overhead but its up to you to learn and recognise these and block high.

if someone does a cross up on you (basically when an attack hits behind you) then you need to block the opposite direction. people can cross you up with certain jumping attacks and again, certain normals/specials can cross up on you and its up to you to learn these.

Bought mine off ebay, contacted the seller and he fwd me the receipt. I sent my fightpad back to Madcatz on friday 8th may, it arrived back today 8 days later. Just tested it for about half an hour and its working 100%.

I hope it lasts!

Ah that explains why you always sound spaced out

E's are good E's are good

Cavallino · 16 May 2009 at 23:31

Naughty... naughty... very naughty....

So my PS3 is all setup and I still havent brought myself to play the game yet...

Could it be the fear of getting beat again Kreeeee?

Actually beginning to get bored of the game now tbh. I'm not a fan of the fact that priority wins over skill at the end of the day (at the lower end of the skill ladder i mean), really annoying trying to do an elaborate combo and then they reversal you as they've just been pressing the DP motion over and over while being hit in the hope that you mistime your combo by a millisecond. To top it all off, that DP motion ends up doing more damage than the first half of your entire combo. It's just too easy to reverse combos with some characters and with the majority of those characters the reversal ends up doing more damage than the combo that had been started on them.

I would play a shoto, but they're just so utterly dull to play as. I'm going to start dabbling with charge characters as they seems to be the only 'different' characters in the higher tiers, i had a quick go with Balrog against raniac yesterday and he was surprisingly fun, especially considering i knew barely any moves for him.

I've become bored with the game since I swapped to Ryu. He's so dull and plays in a cookie cutter style but it's so effective I can't switch back to Blanka.
