Title: Am New
Post by: spectacular on January 27, 2011, 11:35:07 AM
Hey all, long story short - SF4 has been a hobby for 5ish months now, trying to get some decent games seems to be a mission and a half (gfwl)

I have been instructed to look for some challengers here, not sure where I stand skill wise because I haven't really played on ranked matches due to lag spam.
Would like to know if I have at least a chance in a tourny, so I can decide on entering etc

Gamertag - spectacular1az

Would appreciate all the challengers I can get :) cheers

Cool thats my fave version of Vanilla Street Fighter IV, but you will find the majority of the Street Fighter players on this site now spend their time playing either SSFIV for X360 \ PS3 or the newest version "Arcade edition" in the arcades.

Having said that, I'm keen to play some PC version so I'll add you up and jump on this afternoon for some games if you're keen.

Fixed

Welcome to the site.
If you're in Auckland. Today is half price Thursday at TZ and Monday is Double dollars. Should pop in and have a jam with the new version.

Oh and Friday's ranbats - details in Auckland section. Come in and put some names to faces :)

haha thought some one would do that - stick I have is ps3 compatible, which means I would have to spend so much more if I went for a Xbox D:!

I live in Parnell. So 15 minute walk to queen street. Might take a visit tomorrow, who will be there around 1ish,

How much pay to play at the arcades?

$2 a game.

A lot of us will be down tomorrow because it's our ranbats. If you have time you should just come up with all of us to Giga (place we play at) and just have some games. Don't worry about standing a chance in a tournament or not, you'll improve heaps just turning up to one.

On that note, your first time at ranbats is free.  So come up bro.  It costs you nothing, and I'm a real cool guy.

Don't let Lenny see this but...I would get an Xbox360, for fighting games in NZ it's the dominant (even though it's inferior) console. I'm gonna be picking one up soon.

Hey ggs yesterday bro. Your Ryu is pretty strong. I like how you dont jump in and would rather play a footsie game. Start coming to the ranbats and you'll level up so quick. Yeah and to also get used to the Seth matchup  :P
