RVB Street Fighter 4 Registration

[iMagneto]

well we need it... nearly 6 hours of gaming of cuz we need it bro =)~

Sucks for you Simon. If you were able to counter pick I'd say you would have the best chance of winning the whole thing. Sim for shotos/sagat/boxer whoever for the rest lol.

Simon doesn't need to counter pick brother Ben; it was actually for everyone else lol.

Incase some of us hadn't realised, Simon's the best all rounder in NZ IMHO. He and I have been playing the plethora of characters since the game's release, and he is fearsome on everyone from Fuerte to Dhalsim, Guile to Sagat from Blanka to Dictator. We both could play up to any of seven characters currently and be pretty proficient against anyone, that's certainly something compared to THOSE who have HAD to stick to Ryu *winks at Andy* lol.

Sometimes I wonder, particularly at yifans, if the two player side only has Ryu, ken, Gouki and Sagat at the character selection screen hahahaha. . .

Seriously, I'd be really tempted to enter the tourney if I was guaranteed to see some diveristy from the regulars, but alas, it isn't going to happen. Tourneys are about winning and that's it really, so have fun, or whatever lol.

I'll just plug away online for now. . . sob*

[fluxcore]

You gotta be joking, you're not entering because you won't be facing unusual chars? That's sad, man. There are sure to be casuals with people playing a wider variety.

I was basically going to choose depending on whether you played Viper or not, guess if you aren't there I'll have to rep her *sob*

[Lennysaurus]

Okay then James!!! I'm gonna play Gen!!!!  Just for you buddy!!!  Not like Im gonna win anyway.  Maybe if I gel my hair and trim my eyebrows Ill get a spot prize for being so handsome.



In other news you and I need to meet up for some south side street fighter.  I need the practice.

Ohhhh come on doood you can't become the best Viper player in Australasia with that attitude. Bring the diversity man! If you don't no one will be exposed to certain characters potential in sfiv .

Also even though it may require more skill to play several characters proficiently it does not take away anything from people who stick to one character in an attempt to master him/her.

Lets face it this is our scene and its so small that you have to accept there will be little character variation. At least these guys really know how to play there characters and aren't random ass shoto scrubs.

[Lennysaurus]

Yeah I rang him not long ago. He's gonna get it on ps3 soon.   Gag so hard posting on phone. I should have my ps3 back in next couple of weeks. So I'll go get a ps3 copy as well. Anyone gonna get pc version when it drops?

[[NIUE] BIRRY WONG]

Fuck top tier. Im playing Abel.

[zos'la]

done, updated.

I will be getting the PC version. i cant be bothered paying another k or so for another console..

just little comments about being a single char which has been wink to me -.-
I'm the type that if I can not beat the majority of people with my main, then there is no way I'll move on. Because it means I am still not skilled enough, I like to master my char.
I have been practicing with a few other chars too but think about the cost it involves for me practicing $2 per game, then lose to some scrub that comes along and thinks it funny when i haven't even had a go in learning the char...
Unlike some of you who has the game at home now you can play anyone...
It is just the cost per game that restricts many of us to play other chars but it doesn't mean i don't know how to, I could play, Gief, Guile, shotos, Sagat, Chun and the others just not good as my Ryu, so its like a praise to you guys that i have to use my main in order to beat you guys

But if that is the reason your not coming then I think its a bit sad to hear, because your practically looking down on us, the ones who plays their main.

Totally agree

Some questions for the tourney.

1. Will this be single elimination or double?

2. What kinda of display are we going to be playing on? projector? hd projector? hdtv? crt tv? I've read that projectors can have problems with lag.

3. Will the version we play have all of the characters unlocked?

[SamBo]

hi, im new to these forums. got directed here by fluxcore on buttonmasher forums. im keen for this. put me down as SamBo.

[zos'la]

samBo, please also give me your real name and location.
thanks

Toomeke:
The Tourny is double elimination, If anyone got the all characters unlock on their card please bring it. This tourny will be in the projector room, I'm not sure about the lag? if there is any we can always switch to the HD LCD or something.
But i was there today and saw the projector, not bad at all.

[[8-----D] Toots]

Thanks for the reply Andy

Hopefully the projectors are gaming ones as most projectors have noticeable lag.
Personally I would prefer to play on the hd screens as thats what I use at home and its very different. The stages don't look strecthed and the characters are the right size. Maybe we should get a poll going?

Two points on that.
!) Winning isn't everything. Sometimes it's OK to have a fun and friendly match.

2) Playing other characters will actually improve your main character game.

Hey Andy what are the prizes? I think it's fair to announce the prizes beforehand to see if casuals think it's worth their while.
Have you approached EB or JB Hi Fi to get in on sponsorship/voucher prizes?

u sound very confident in your skills. Have you played against other players at yifans? Why don't you come to the tournament and show us who is the top player instead of talking it here.

About character selection, i agree with Andy. Counter picking is lame simply coz 1 character will have upper-hand than another. Don't give me the crap that all characters in game are perfectly balance and no one is better than another.

To people who thinks Counter-picking is "strategy", believe me IT'S NOT.
In fighting game, strategy = you know when to go offensive/defensive/confusion. Counter-picking = giving urself an upper-hand compare to ur opponent. And what if both players just keep waiting to counter pick each other ??

And knowing how to play MANY/ALL characters in sf4 doesn't make you the best player. It just means you've spent much more time/money(unless u have the game at home) compare to other players. The best player is the one who defeats all other players with his main character (Not by using the lame counter-picking so called "strategy").

Whoever disagree with me. Come to the tournament and show us that you can be the top player without counter-picking Instead of doing all the talking here.
This topic is for registration !!!

P.S Andy: since the rule has already stated. Isn't it better to register everyone like this format : Real name/ game name/ Character.

SIGH, alas, I really would have gone if it weren't for having my kids that day. SOB. Like i said at yifans, no way out.

Leo: Go Gen bro, read the combo thread on SRK for my current fav combo, does good damge for no meter and is piss easy. (Mantis) j.hk, s.mp, s.fp xx hands link s.mk xx hands. you can sub the last hands for super if you have meter, then ultra after that if you wish. Gen rules, and yes, his cross-up owns boxer all day lol. (OOh and Andy's lucky it doesn't work on shoto's!)

Ben & Andy: Good for you on wanting to master particular characters, I still think it has more to do with winning than mastery, but there you go, it's my personal opinion. My philosophy has always been one of diversity, adaptability and progression, it's like, never been about 'beating everyone'.

Ill_bill: fuck top tier go Claw! (I beat top 100 online PS3 player Dadaekim's chun with Claw last week, went up 150BP's!)

Flux: Viper reprazent! just make sure you know the Ryu, Boxer and Sagat match ups. lol.

Oh, and keen to hear about prizes too!

SIGH, alas, I really would have gone if it weren't for having my kids that day. SOB. Like i said at yifans, no way out.

Well then thats cool beans dood. Kids are the bomb!

Yeah its definitely in part about winning but there are other factors too. First of  all this is my first fighting game really...I've only played a little bit of third strike beforehand...maybe 50 matches against some kind of human comp...so I really don't understand how street fighter works. I understand how boxer works but give me anyone else and I'm pretty much as good as any random dood who does wakeup srk all day long. For me personally taking on a bunch of characters just doesn't make sense because I really don't have a clue. I have decided to 2nd main Sagat as I believe his play style really covers almost everything sfiv is about, some will more than likely disagree with that.

Basically I think I'd be kidding myself if I thought heh I can do pretty well with Boxer lets move onto someone else. I still get done over by things I shouldn't all the time...looks at Blanka . I'm kinda obsessive too so it'll be awhile before Im over Rog.

You have to teach me someone new and not online
