Street Fighter (SFIV, SSFIV, HDR)

Very close in Vanilla (Ryu has a tiny advantage, but that's one of the best batchups in the game), slightly in sims favour in Super.

New 360 is out in the next 2 weeks.

Have you played Rav though? Hmm Chun Li vs Dhalsim, hard to call that one, I have no idea who the matchup is favoured too.

i think i played him a long time ago on super. i lost 5-6 games in a row 3-2. but i didnt remember using chun li for all of them or neither did he use dhalsim much

There you have it hyv, it's in the bag. :p

lol, i am not sure about that. but i do know i am the master of winning 2 rounds and losing 3 in return. hence my winning ratio of about 16% on super

Rav has played my rog offline, got spanked :p

Oi!

(Same words e36Adz used in a message to Art mind :p )

Next time i'll be bringing some new Dhalsim technology, so i'll own both your mains :p

If we've got time and the others don't mind, would be nice to do a first to 5 or 10, playing sporadically doesn't really help me learn the little nuances it some matchups.

@e36Adz, i need my revenge, though i must admit i severely underestimated you, from what i heard, you were another wake up dragon, random ultra guy :D

@Art, games with Rufus ultra 2 don't count. Fact.
Genuine face palm every time. Every time.
In fact, his ultra 2 is like Sex Panther from Odeon, 60% of the time, it works every time haha

Anyone got some tips when playing against a good Dhalsim? I find it very hard when they yoga fire then teleport behind so you eat both the fire and a slap to the chops :(

Tips in general are welcome but specifically for Blanka and Balrog if possible :)

I laughed when i read what Kreeeee wrote, it must be spanking season for you, hahaha.


hmm I don't think i've ever seen Adz do a random Ultra before. The closest i've seen is a mis-read, expecting a fireball and him attempting to Ultra through it, but definitely not random.

When you're low on health and Rufus is loaded with Ultra 2, try keep him at max range with Sim? With other chars, i don't know what they could do, other than build meter for the next round :p
Once Rufus gets into midrange then, Ultra2 = Win :)

You shouldn't always believe what you hear. ;) Most of it was probably from someone I pounded 10-0 who signed off mid game and hasn't played me since. That's not the first time someone has underestimated me on here though, although I do think I have improved a bit over the past few weeks thanks to regular sparring with Arth.

Just shout me on here whenever you want a session, I can normally get on most evenings either before or after the footy. :)
 
It would be cool if you have improved, I can't bebothered to fire up my PS3 (I have to move audio cables around) and I never try any remotely hard links vs you because I'm so used to expecting DP during combos and it's really annoying going in with that mindset. :o

That said I've been playing Balrog online as it's pretty hard to miss most of his combos, I wouldn't risk doing Sagats cr.lk links against you though. :p

I'm gonna get the new 360 when its out. I need to join you guys for some endless battle sessions, there seem to be quite a lot of decent 360 players. I still haven't forgotten playing your Sagat on the PC, I think that session scarred me lol.

Best way to play vs someone who mashes DP though, jab jab *wait* let them DP then just punish away. They will soon stop. Only way really though is to have a long session to figure your opponent out.

w00t! I'm also getting the new 360 when it's out, we can be slim 360 bros. :p

True that, luckily as Balrog though it is pretty much impossible to mess up his jab jab combos. :D

I assume you're referring to me and my chun? I didn't realise you were still bitter about it, and I'm happy to play you but you seem to be against me using new characters and I have absolutely no problem with getting beaten lots.

I have never signed off mid-game (aka rage quit) so not sure why you're making that up.

What to do when someone mashes DP, say, 50% of them time? :p
jab jab block just let's up on pressure when they dont dp (and they'll probably throw you too), yet when you do your normal combos, they'll dp you.

The 'new' xbox is released on the 16th of July btw.

Only because Kreeeee modded my stick so it will work on both consoles, otherwise I would probably have been tempted to buy a round 2 stick.

No mate, I wasn't talking about you lol, and I am NOT against you using new characters :eek: but since you are much better then me I just prefer playing one of your stronger chars that's all. :) (Bar Balrog since you don't use him online).

EDIT: I take it you were telling Rav how I play? :p

Hey, if it works... ;) you need to come up with a new strategy. :p
 
Well played Marge, definitely the most aggressive and pressuring Balrog i've played.. from the forums, or anywhere else for that matter :p
Kinda surprised though that my weaker chars (Balrog, Cammy, Bison) did better against you than my mains though!

Cheers I have been playing him a bit as I'm gonna use him in a local small tourney, don't wanna risk the prize (nothing major though!) by using Akuma who I haven't played too much with!

Balrog mirror is nasty so that didn't surprise me much, I don't know what to do against Cammy and Bisons cross up is confusing. :p I feel v.comfortable against Rufus as Balrog though, not sure why but just do!

Will be back on in a bit most likely, just getting dinner on the go so it's ready for the football. :)

Edit: Sure Kreeeee, not sure if I'll catch you tonight though!
