Thanks for Ulrira & Coddfish for more details on this arcade, it's probably the best in NZ.
Located next to Midcity mall on Queen St, couple of blocks down from Borders. See this post (http://nzism.alphaism.com/forum/index.php/topic,5.msg915.html#msg915) for a map and directions :D
Lots of good games & comp, including:
Street Fighter 4
Tatsunoko vs Capcom
Blazblue
Marvel vs Capcom 2
Street Fighter 3: 3rd strike
King Of Fighters XI(might be gone now), 2002, 97, 98, probably the rest but who cares...
Tekken 6,5 and Dark Resurrection, 4 and Tag
Samurai Shodown Tenka(?), 5 special(?), 1-4 on mame cabs.
Guilty Gear XX# Reload
Melty Blood: Act Cadenza Ver.B
Street Fighter World Warrior, Hyper Fighting/Turbo, Alpha 2, Alpha 3, Anniversary Edition
X-men vs Street Fighter
Marvel vs Capcom
SNK vs Capcom Chaos
Capcom vs SNK 2
Soul Calibur 3
Project Justice
Virtua Fighter 4
Super Dragonball Z
Neogeo Battle Colliseum
Dead or Alive 2
Marvel Super Heroes vs Street Fighter (possibly)
Basically everything! Except UMK3 :((( Hope they get Accent Core, too...
Stick/cab type: Japanese style balltops, sitdown head to head cabs.
--flux
Yep, they're pretty good. They've got street fighter ww, hyper fighting, alpha 2, alpha 3, aniversary edition and a couple of head to head 3rd strike cabs, a whole lot of king of fighters head to head cabs (don't really play kof so don't know which ones), some tekken 5 and tekken 5 dr head to heads, tekken 4 and I think tekken tag, samurai shodown tenka and mabey 5, x-men vs street fighter, mvc, mvc 2, svc chaos, capcom vs snk 2, soul calibur 3, project justice, virtua fighter 4, guilty gear (not sure which one), super dbz and I think thats it.
Don't forget game paradise on lorne st though. Their selection isn't as good but their 3rd strike machines are cheaper and there's a cool bunch of guys that play there.
Thanks for the info! So they *DO* have Samsho tenka! I've been wanting to play that for ages! :DDD
I'll make another post for the Game Paradise Lorne St, I wasn't aware of that one...
--flux
Just remembered, they've also got neogeo battle coliseum, dead or alive 2 and possibly marvel super heroes vs street fighter.
Well I was there today, so I can confirm some things..
The Guilty Gear they have is GGX2: #Reload.
I didn't note every one, but they seem to have every KoF from '97 up to XI (The next in the main series after 2003, first game since they decided to stop naming them using years)
Marvel vs Street Fighter: Yes
Samsho Tenka: Yes, its named Samsho 6. Right next to the #R machine.
They also seem to have Samsho 1-5 on MAME-like cabs - the ones where there's a whole load of games on one cab and you choose one. I saw Samsho 1-3 with my own eyes, different machines had a different selection of games though, so I would assume they would have 4 and 5 on another machine.
And if you're looking for it, its on Queen Street, on the right hand side (if your back is to the ferry). A block or two down from Borders/where iMax used to be.
Yeah those old-School Cabinet are cool theres also
WWF Royal Rumble: So old its even named WWF instead of WWE LOL
Super Gem Fighter[?]: If thats what its called the one with midget Street Fighter and Darkstalkers fighters. Also its very looney I see Dan singing like Elvis, Chun-Li Directing traffic for her Special LOL.
I can take a look if there are any others like maybe Shaq Fu (lol fluxcore)
I love Darkstalkers anyone interested in PSP 2 player with Darkstalkers in Yifans hmm maybe not might get jacked LOL...
EDIT: they also have Fatal Fury
those MAME cabinets really have too many games to mention

For you out of towners that haven't visited Yifans before...
(http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c182/mossimopooky/Queenst.jpg)
Main entrance of Yifans is on Queen Street.
It's in between the Wellesley St and Victoria St intersections (their the 2 big ones that cross Queen st)
It's right beside Kebabs on Queen (I think?). There's a set of stairs that will lead you down into the MVC2pitOfDoom.... I mean yifans.
(where I will be waiting to waste you at marvel... :D
Oh yea, I also put the BurgerKing Timezone on the map, but not as big, cause it's not as important ;D
Nice... maybe I should put that in the 1st post?
Cheers,
--flux
I actually checked out that BK TimeZone the other day.
They have MVC2, T5:DR, 3S, and a Japanese SF2 cab (I think it was CE or Hyper Fighting, not sure).
Don't know why you'd want to go there with Yifan's just across the road, though :P

Update on Yifan's:
Samsho Tenka has moved. Quite possible REmoved, since I couldn't find it anywhere :(
In its place is some DBZ game, which got shifted (along with KoF XI) to make space for the two Melty Blood: AC's they have now.
yeah b_tch.

First post updated with blazblu/tvc.
There are a bunch of games in the list I'm not sure exist there anymore (sam sho anything, kof xii, the tekkens etc), so if someone wants to confirm/deny some of them, feel free...
Yeah Yifans is probably the best arcade centre in NZ :D :D
Always good challengers and mean variety of games. Hours of FUN ;)
As I was saying to Gunsmoke, there are very few arcades in the world outside of Japan that have Tatsunoko, BlazBlue and SFIV! Yifan's truly is a special place, big ups to the owners.

;) Yea agree ....i think i guess i spend more than million dollar invest on Yifan .......
>:( They always know how to do bussiness...like two dollar a game mostly everynew game....but still big :D :D :D thumb up to Yifan even thought is expensive at least they always get latest game game that u always requested. ::) ::) ::)
Sorry Flux i didnt get a chance to introduce to you all da Aucklander playa (>___<)""""....i thought most of them know u but at least they do show up (Samurai , AD , Ryan and JMC )
Glad 2 c u guys again b4 NEW YEAR 8) 8) 8) Next time we should have lunch or coffee togther....yaya :P :P
im down for some coffee lol
Yeah, sounds good, just depends who is around next time we come up. It's usually pretty difficult, since I work mon-fri, and Gino works weekends. And then when we finally have time together, all you guys are working... so we just have to see how it goes :)
I really haven't met many of you Auckland guys at all, by far I've had most contact (all of two times) with you, Gunsmoke :)
Am I right in assuming that the Japanese fellow who is best at TvC and BlazBlue is JMC? I know he was there for a bit but not sure if they are the same ppl? And while I wasn't introduced to Ryan I know his face now... :) Not sure if Samurai and AD were there?
Since I don't know who the people are that I don't know, I don't know who I should be introducing myself to :p
Kool Im in for a meet up and some games next time 8)
Usually my roster unstable.....most of the time work weekends too . Da last time we met loooong time ago is me and Kingpiccolo but he currently working in aussie...we use 2 be flatmat but hes gone (>_<)"""
Yes JMC is da Japanese dude.... ::) ::) ::)
was present in attendance.....present and accounted for 8)
Oh man, I had no idea they had BB down there now. I'm going to hit Yifan's up all this week for sure.
Edit: Do they have Hakumen unlocked?
Can someone list the non-fighting games that Yifan has? ie. if they have any pop'n or iidx, shmups (like dodonpachi, raiden, ketsui, mushihimesama) etc? Thanks.

They have Ikaruga and maybe Raiden, I can't remember. There's a whole heap of games there that I can't remember the name of, the arcade is huge. There's also driving games like Wangan Midnight Maximum Tune 3, Initial D 4, whichever version of Battle Gear they're up to, etc. I know they have at least a couple of music games, but I can't remember their names.

Nice. Xbox hat guy is trying to convince the manager to unlock Hakumen on Blazblue.
I just got back from Yifan's actually. Amazing arcade.. I've never been there before. I can't believe how many things they have.. iidx 7th in a 3rd cab, melty blood, pop'n fever, ez2dj, bunch of initial d stuff, bunch of daytona cabs, taiko no tatsujin 11, and more importantly mushihimesama futari 1.5, which is the only thing I bothered to play.
Managed to get up to stage 4's boss on my first credit, first try. I'm really surprised. Second credit I ended up at the beginning/middle of stage 5, both on Original mode. I'm not really big on fighters these days (although, I have Tatsucap at home) but it was nice to see the SF4/BlazBlue/TvC head-to-head cabs there.
Some guy was beasting on drummania and attracted like 5 spectators, haha
Give me some competition in Mushihimesama Futari! (It's like.. opposite the SF4/BB/TvC setup (not the Tekken 6 side) and to the left, at the end of the first row there)

Yeah! That was me. Sorry I didn't say hi, Bill told me that everyone there was from NZism but I didn't know who was who. Were you the dude with the cap and the sunglasses?
Xbox guy didn't seem too bad to me. At least he gave me the second round to practise my terrible execution on sticks, haha. On a related note, I need to buy a cheap Japanese stick for PS2 or something. Anything I can practise arcade stick execution on.
Edit: Elixir, what genre of games do you play? I mainly play fighting games and formerly driving ones, but I'm down for random games.
Quote from: HCO on January 07, 2009, 07:44:23 PMEdit: Elixir, what genre of games do you play? I mainly play fighting games and formerly driving ones, but I'm down for random games.
Mostly shmups, then bemani, then fighters. I'm actually really glad that Mushihimesama Futari 1.5 is there. In fact, I didn't expect some of the more obscure Japanese shmups (mostly CAVE ones which were never ported to consoles, ie. Ibara Black Label, Muchi Muchi Pork, Pink Sweets, Ketsui, Mushi Futari, etc) so.. I uh.. I bought a Japanese Supergun and purchase the arcade boards for home use. I recently bought a Ketsui board, which was ~$1750.
As for bemani, I mostly play Pop'n. I saw a Pop'n Fever at Yifan's but I suck with arcade style.. I have the mini Pop'n controller so I should try practicing with that some more. I can only pass a maximum of 35's with the mini contrller, I'm guessing I would struggle with anything above 28 hypers on the arcade.
I'd like to get back into IIDX. I never really got "into" it years ago when I was playing Pop'n but I felt it easy to get into since it's basically Pop'n minus 2 buttons and plus a turntable. I have a big IIDX package coming from Japan (arcade style controller for PS2, IIDX 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th, RED, Happy Sky, DistorteD and GOLD, JP PS2 (already have one for imports like Dodonpachi Daioujou and Espgaluda, plus almost all of my PS2 games are Japanese, but it was part of the package) so I'll be practicing with that. But it's always gonna remain secondary to shmups, my favorite genre.
Regarding fighters, I'm gonna buy SF2HD tonight and will buy BlazBlue once it gets a PS3 release. I was spectating this Arakune at Yifan's today.. I'm thinking of taking him up come the time of the console release.

I happen to have an arcade controller that I don't really use. It's a modded HRAP1 with a LS-31-1 Seimitsu stick, Seimitsu buttons on a black/pink theme. It might be out of your price range though, since you did say cheap.
Well, I said "cheap" but to be honest it's more of an investment than rolling my coins into an arcade machine. I do have some money and I definitely want a stick. PM me with a price and we can arrange something.
As for the games, damn. That's a lot of music ~
The Arakune player might have been Bill. I had a few games against him (got rolled).
Sent you a PM.
Does anyone know if you're allowed to take pictures? I could probably borrow a friend's camera, I really want to get some pics up of yifans. It's about an hour and a half's drive to get there.. can someone ask next time for me?
My arakune is the purple one. And dont learn from me. Im crap.

sticks for the wii are easy to find. its 360 sticks that are difficult.

$99. Its pretty steep for us poor people. But not TOO bad.
Bummer they already put it back up to $99 oh well ::). You need a wii-mote as well for this stick to work. There goes all my money on batteries laa :'(

Sort of you just plug it in like the Nunchuk :o :o
Finally bought a stick hell yeeeaaaaaah. What brand are the buttons at Yifan's? Seimitsu, Sanwa, etc.
Won both of these:
http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=196704197
http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=196720826
I don't have an auth account so I just got a friend to buy it for me. Time to train up execution :o
I'm pretty sure the sticks aren't either? No idea about buttons though.
The sticks definitely don't feel like my Seimitsus... they seem really floppy, but I guess that could just be due to lots of use...
The buttons, yo. Not the sticks. I'm pretty sure the sticks are just generic shit, haha.
edit: oh, you mentioned that. Yeah, I dunno the sticks. They're similiar enough to the one I bought, though.
ps. I sent the card ~
edit 2: After looking around, I'm pretty sure the buttons are Sanwa.
$30 is an AWESOME price for that stick btw.
Yeah, I was talking to MarkMan (the dude who produced the SFIV TE stick with Madcatz) and he tells me it was a complete steal for that price. Apparently the Namco was what people used before HRAPs became a big deal. I for one am hella glad I got it for so cheap. It's moddable too, so that's an upside.

Namco sticks sell pretty high on ebay, still. If I wasn't so lazy, I'd scout them out and resell them over at SRK.
Okay!~ Going to Yifan's tomorrow (today I guess). Gonna hit up Blazblue, and TvC/T6BR if I have enough money. I want to try out more Casshern.
Anyone else gonna be there? o:
Ill be there after work for a little while. You can watch me fail at casshern.
What time is that? You dudes can text me when you're there on 021 117 9331. This time my phone will actually be charged..
Also excellent, another Casshern player. I know all of like two Casshern combos. Thinking about picking up Roll as an assist, too.
Fuck knows what time that will be. Usually around 3 or 4. But if something fucks up i might not get down there at all.
Im usually there around lunchtime aswell.
im coming maybe 2pm
make sure u guys play TVC........ ::) ::) ::) ::)
Gonna leave soon, dunno when I'll be at Yifan's. Have some shit to do in town before I get there, should be before 3 though.
I heard yifans has KOFXII!?

I dont know how many times myself and 1000 others have told them this.
Does anyone know where the Guilty Gear XX machine is? A friend of mine and I went to play it last week but couldn't find it. Haven't played in about a year and he plays lots so I was keen.
Is there maybe a secret hiding spot lol?
Last i recall its in the second block of machines down from sf4. I might be wrong though. They might have dumped it when kofxii arrived.
I was looking for GGX yesterday and could'nt find it, BlazBlue looks interesting though, as does Tatsunoko vs Capcom. I couldnt find MVC2 either :( ?

Anyways was at Yifans yesterday and gave KOF12 a spin. Its quite nice, the gameplay mechanics took a bit of getting used to but I think its a winner, its a pity not many people play it, it needs to be on a big display, I also played tekken6 n schooled my mate with buttons 1 and 3, 2 (right punch) and 4 (right kick) were busted on my one n I still pwnd him with bryan lol good times.

Shes really good. Strong anti air cc's, resets that give her half a bar back at the end of her cc's, Long retarded poke strings that do heaps of guard damage, highest priority air to air in the game, awesome crossup.

i told that bouncer to get some red bull LOL...
You shoulda just thrown a stool at him
Fuck hes always like that. Lazy shit. And then when the machine breaks, instead of finding someone to fucking fix it, they come out and put their retarded piece of laminated paper over the coin slot and then go back to sleep again.
And then when you tell them that the machine is STILL WORKING but it swallowed ONE FUCKING COIN, they do the same thing and look at you like youre speaking in fucking Zulu.

Were you there that time when he just grabbed this really long knife, walked over to the machine and jabbed it down the coinslot for like three minutes then went and got the sign and gave us our money back?
Haha. Was that the time i came and did the same thing with my keys and fixed the machine in like 6 seconds?
Nah, I remember that too. Maybe YOU should be the bouncer. When people try to scrap you I'll be like "THROW A FIREBALL MID RANGE" then you can do da gigga bustaaah. Has anyone actually seen these guys "bounce" anyone?
We should have a scrap next time smoof. See what happens.
Also, gg's today xpunch. good to meet you bro.
All the work i do in the match, and i eat c.lp, c.lk, headbutt and end up back at square 1 >_<

Man there was this crazy tourettes guy down there yesterday. Was jumping up and down with the machine. He was so funny. Especially when he managed to pull off an ultra and have it blocked. He was pretty good for a Sagat spammer.
First time I went to check out BlazBlue there was one guy on it who would play it, get pissed off, do a lap around the arcade then come back. Repeat.

Me and Steven were watching a guy like that once, he like threw the chair away and got into this mean power stance, Slash had nothing on this guy. During his throws and shit he'd mash marvel stylez and we were like ...
Yeah that doods so awesome. The most I have ever had at yifans was playing him in third strike at like midnight. Was hilarious
What happened to that guy who used to always play 3S and marvel while being like OMG TAKE THAT!!!!! When he did a triple super. He used to pick teams like hulk, jugg and sent
its this white guy scruby ginger hair and big build.
Ah fuck I think I even know that guy, I was watching someone play SF4 and he said "DO YOU WANNA PLAY SF3:3s?" and I said "No I don't really like 3s" and he said "oh, so you're no good at it then?" and I said "No, I just don't like it" and then he offered me to play and he'd pay for the credit and I was like naaa
I think I saw him later swinging on the joysticks bouncing up and down and yelling when he hit ken's super or something.

Are you talking about when it was on the SD 4:3 machine? Because it looked fine then, it just was 4:3. I dont remember it ever looking fine on the machine its on currently.

I'll play you. If you are there between 1-2pm. I play Hugo and Alex. In SFIV mode now so I'll be rusty but I can still get out a dash gigas when needed.

You mean the most well known Hugo players in the world. He only has a few dexterity sequences to learn and after that it's pretty much just how you use the game fundamentals. (Parry etc.) My parry game was adequate but not high level by any means.
Charles, the best 3S player I ever met, had an insane parry game. One time he was Dudley and he jumped in on Remy. Remy did his kick super and he parried it on the way down, landed, parried the rest and then killed him with a combo into super. Nuts.
Other notables were Kevin's Urien, Simon's Ken and a guy who went by the name of JDG. He could play high level with a number of characters. The most impressive being Ibuki!
il see you down at yifans for 3rd strike mobius, oh the good times :D im bringing urien and dudley back ;D

better players you will see is teh regular Kevin Urien and Simonfish mokoto/Ken/Yun/Dudley, white skinny white dude with lots of earigns on... Ibuki/mokoto?
random Alex Asian player.
there are a few more but meh I don't play it enought these days to see the new face if any.
Are you forgetting my Hugo and Alex? Or did you not witness?
Quote from: wick3d wayz on August 20, 2009, 11:29:38 PM
QuoteCharles, the best 3S player I ever met, had an insane parry game. One time he was Dudley and he jumped in on Remy. Remy did his kick super and he parried it on the way down, landed, parried the rest and then killed him with a combo into super. Nuts.
Other notables were Kevin's Urien, Simon's Ken and a guy who went by the name of JDG. He could play high level with a number of characters. The most impressive being Ibuki!
simon's yun is crazy
i remember kevin talking to me about that charles player.....is he the one who mains makoto? and as for that JDG guy, he's the white skinny dude right?
Yeah he played a mean Makoto but could play the whole damn cast. Nice guy too. I think he's gone to Hong Kong now. :(
Oh kay, so maybee not the best hugo's, but RX, is the best urien, search Pino vs RX, best match ever.
^^Not as good as Sugiyama vs Messatsu if you want a nice example of a NE vs UR match vid
RX perhaps is the "best" Urien but I prefer watching Messatsu matches where he almost rushes down with urien and seems to make up aegis setups and juggles on the spot.
Sorry to infect your Yifan's thread with 3S talk guys ;D ;D ;D
We have 3S down there, it's legit!

The stick and a few buttons on the sf4 cab are starting to go, anyone else been having a few input probs?

Just tell the tech dude if you see him there. He's really good at maintaining the games and fixing any issues. But not unless someone tells him.
He's the white dude.
Yea, wasnt around on sat at the time we went down. Dont know the next time ill be down there so hopefully someone else can let him know, or play a game and tell me its just me that thinks theres probs lol ;)
Man anyone there in 1997? Man that was a good year for Capcom Fighting games. They had Street Fighter III, Vampire Saviour and Pocket Fighter all released in the same year! Warzard was just released the year before and they had that shop opened by Glen the Sega man, can't remember what it was called... I got a few Capcom Game Posters from there. Still got them rolled up somewhere too!
I definitely was around there in 1997! I was usually playing the mvc series games whichever was out at the time as a 7 year old.
I drew out some money this morning and the guy asked me where's my father lol. Haven't been there with him for at least 5 years, it's awesome the guy still remembers us.

Played some sweet games of 3S on friday, not sure who it was against but he had a pretty strong urien, RX colours. He also played a bit of mak/yun/chun/ken but yeah, strong urien- better than any thong warriors down these ways.

Dunno who that would be?
What did he look like?
Asian with glasses- as specific as that's likely to be, haha.
Had a bit of a look at the nationals pics and I *think* (sorry if I'm wrong, I'm shit with faces) it was the dude top left in this photo.

Kevin aka Devilstar.
Plays some wicked 3rd strike as well as being almost as good as i am at SF4.
>_>
<_<
I went there on Friday but there was nobody playing 3S. Actually lucky cos I had a game and my timing is now completed converted to SF4. Not that I mind really.
Good that you got to play Kevin though. Although I would say he wouldn't be at his prime as whenever I've seen him down there lately he'd be playing SF4.
Just got back from Yif's they got 4 SF4 machines now, all linked. So you automatically challenge the other 3 machines if you win.
well done Yifans.
Shame they all have the shitbox resolution.
ooo sexy. did tvc get the boot?
any1 play tekken 6 br at sundays?
plz answer, need roulettes lol!
None of us really play on Sundays at all bro ><
yea, da arcades is like a ghosttown on sundays, dere were alot of ppl at yifans at sunday but dat happened only once,
-sigh-
I think all the tekken peeps play at Queen St BK/Time Zone
Yay for 4 machines, lame for still being 2 dollars lol. Maybe if they don't wanna drop it to $1 (They would make more money imo than they did before including the tvc machine) maybe someone could ask them to make it 2 games for $3. Today was pretty fun with quite a few of us there
2 for 3 kills it imo. I don't wanna have to watch some guy getting beasted twice. I agree with you on the $1 thing though, if you include the TVC
Yeah that's what I was thinking. Maybe drop it to best 2/3 rounds and make it a dollar.
was great fun yesterday for a change, haven't been down to Yifans for months....
spent 4 bucks and stay for 3 hours :D GG all that was down there :P

sf4 cabs were pretty busy last night, it seems to have picked up heaps since they put the 2 new machines in
i got rolled though D:

Quote from: zosla on September 21, 2009, 09:17:37 AM

I agree -- $1 a game would be so much better... and I wouldn't actually mind walking the 10 minutes from work to have a couple of games instead of getting pieced out before I've even warmed up lol
I don't think they should lower the price. If it were too high people would not be playing it.
The price will only get lowered when nobody is playing anymore.
well that's shit then. been waiting years for mvc2 to be $1 for 2 credits.
they will make more money lowering the price, even with the 4x cabs now, I will not play more than $4. lowering the price will actually make people spend more. I would personally and I am sure many are the same.
You can Look at other countries for example, it only cost $0.50 NZD pergame in most part of Asia with well over 10 cabs linking.
I am sure teh states are cheaper than us also.

This should be a perfect indication that SF4 won't go down in price anytime soon.
it's rubbish, 3S is almost as old as those damn KoFs and it's still rocking the $2 for 3 credits as well. marvel and 3S are two of older games there, and theyre still at that price.
Yeah thats what i was saying to that NP guy, arcade parlours are just money printers. But is it honestly 50c to play in most Asia, fuck their mvc2 must be free.

Question: What ever happened to JDG and that guy that used to play Q and Urien? Last time I heard he was in yifans Hydro got like 19 wins against his Guile with Rufus. And that was September 2008!
As for JDG I haven't seen him post SF4 release.

Actually I was playing guile and that Zombie falla was Rufus. Kept on divekicking into sonics :/. I got 13 wins.
. . . but yeah, it was like he couldn't (physically or mentally) learn or something, he just did exactly the same thing every round, for 13 games. Joy.
YAY for all cabs being hi res. It's like playing at home now, and now at least I can use the decent sticks on the other cabs. :D

Did you ask them if we could have a tourny or something.
It's been asked before, yeah. They also don't want cam footage taken of games in there for some bizarre reason.
They did have a tournament there a while ago when the first Street Fighter III came out. It was organised by Glen the Sega man who was running Sub Culture (a game shop) down there at the time. I think it was under different management then though.
Over the years they have found tournaments and such makes no positive ++ to them as Yifans, its there, everyone knows it, people go there play games and whatever they do thats it, nothing will change for them even if they do host tournaments as in a business perspective it just makes the place more messy and people maybe causing problems for them to clean up which in the end not worth the hassle.
BUT, Andy one of the shareholders gave me the OK to host tournaments there before for SF4 but of course he didn't say anything about us taking the cabinets to ourselves/renting it for the day etc.... so I didn't follow on with it since he wasn't so keen.

The cabinet thing is the big issue. They dont mind holding tournaments there, but they still want to charge us fucking $2 a game. >_>
What a bunch of wankers, their SF4 probably paid for itself in the first month. It's because they know theyre the only ones with SF4. Fuck i hope they get robbed.
Anyone that would hire dweedle-dumb and dweedle-do and put them at the counter to actually serve customers has zero business perspective..."oh sorry did I wake you up mate? can you change this tenner for me?" Might as well of shaved too Gorillas....if it wasn't for the position of yifans and the games they have I'd be dropping my coins somewhere else....they'd never host a tournament because there money flows no matter what...if it earned them a bit of exta $$$ they'd be doing it already....The owners probably save $$$ by paying most of the staff in bananas anyway..... ::)

That post sums up everything about Yifans perfectly, fuck they are some stupid shits if they dont want to host a tourney there...
Not stupid, but being too smart and getting ahead of themselves. In the end they will jsut be what they are and won't grow as what they are doing now is just enough to feed them.
We call such business dead business as its can be explained on a graph like this

Cmon bro. That's a bit harsh.
yeah jeebus. i dont mind the staff when im down there, i give them cash and they give me coins in return. when a machine eats my credit, i get re-imbursed. what else do you expect?
a butler with a stiff upper lip to wait on you, hand and foot?
I dunno, while I get money from the guys, sometimes I'm really not sure that I'm going to. I also check it's correct every single time, it's just kind of poor service.
The stafs are ok once you get to know them, just try to be friendly and most of them are cool. The only exception would be a guy called HUI (not Crazykiller LOL) everytime I ask for 5 dollars in coin and give him a $20 note he gives me atleast $10 coin and if I don't specify on time then he gives me $20 in coins....
apart from that I don't really have much of an issue, but I think a successful arcade needs to get in witht eh community
I think some of the guys work nights as bouncers. That may be why they're tired. Also having the no bullshit attitude deters troublemakers. I'd rather have surly coinchangers behind the counter then bored assholes causing trouble down there.
That is right. I rather have that too. You don't wanna get some motherfucker wanting to beat your ass because you bitch slapped him with Sagat.
I'm sure most of us have been in some sort of fight (verbal or physical) because you owned some angry bastard.
Yeah theyre like that for a reason imo.
I dunnnoo bout you guys, but I can remmeber waaaaaaaaaaaay back in the days. Like when i was still in primary, my dad took me there and it was full of gang wannabe dickheads. Dude tried to stock me for my double dragon credit.
Also back then there used to be quite a few arcades on Queen street, and in the CBD. All were notorious hangouts for low lifes. I think alot of the reason for the friendly apes is hangover from back then.
I still remember seeing a guy walk out of yifans when i was about 12 or 13, and watching some dude run across the road and stab him.
Most arcades in auckland back then were full; of graffiti too. Its nice having yiffans like it is. clean and no nonsense... fuck not that Ive been there lately. WTB JOB!
lol, Lenny u disappeared on us!!

i remember those times.... ::)
yifans is algud.....and u dont have to count the money, their paid to do what they do and they're good peoples...lol not monkeys u sad guys
was at yifans this afternoon, one of the sf4 cabs seems to have a really sticky stick :<
Probably the smoof giving it some anal loving before hand while playing as Sagat.
I remember how all the arcades around the place were underground drug rings. Lol, can you see people doing that? "Wanna ounce and a couple of tokens?"
it wasn't THAT bad backin teh days, I mean I was hanging out at yifans and stages time out when it was still on beach road/ custom street? oppersite show girls in town.
I use to go there like 3-4 times a day until it got moved to queen street above a internet cafe and thats when I first saw counter strike...
after that I only went to Yifans as stages got less and less games during that period.
I am talking back in 90's I think it was about 1997 or 98 when Stages time out was moved to mid queen street ( not where BK is now )
It was bad compared to now. I'd say the niche market Yifans is in is pretty dead anyway. No point employing anyone else and shit =/

As you not much older than me Lenny and I hanged out at teh arcades since I was 8 which was back in 91.... stages was right next to ORIENTAL MARKETS which is ppersite our current food town in the CBD.
Fuck yeah oriental markets... that shit was some years back.
That bus stop and pub used to be dodgy as fuck too.
lol, Yeah the bus stop!!! with the pub behind stages timeout lol.
My mother use to work in the bakery in Oriental Markets when I was young so I was like ther eeveryday after school, playing SF2 that was in the gaming area with the gambling machine!!!! under age like shit LOL.
Then had no competition there since at that age i was on my way invisible throwing every player that was around :P
went to stages and like won lotsa comic books/ movie tickets and game tokens (600) LOL
came first in daytona USA, air hockey, SF alpha's and what else... can't remember lol too mabny :P but they use to have compeition weekly. Love those stages days.
Yeah. I won the XvsSF tourney they had there way back.
I remmeber oriental markets cause my cousins and I used to buy the double happies there all the time. hahaha. Was awesome place for fireworks all year round

Ha, yea that dudes a insane player, should be good watching him at the armageddon nationals! As for Yifans $3 two games, im insanely surprised the did something like that lol
wow thats awesome as , good shit yiffans !!!!!!!!!!
It could actually be more expensive in my opinion. Unless you know you are going to be there for ages (or going to lose) then it may be wiser just to spend $2. :-\
when I go I know im there for at least 4 hours and I know im gunna loose so put $6 in , get 4 games !
Thats pretty dam good .
$6 instead of $8 equals $2 extra for the U man to play 2 games of tvc
wow!~~!!! this is a suprise..... will be down there more often now LOL.
someone at yifans the other day was smashing me pretty bad with ryu, he threw a round so it was 2-1, then I won 3-2. lol. I felt a bit rude winning at the end especially after he purposely lost a round so we'd get some more time on the machine.
lol :D
thats called being awesome. ive done that a few times in 3S :D :D
lol... its called shit happens :P

lol :D
This is why when I go down there I don't give people rounds (that, and I usually play beasts like Kevin and Cody first game :( )... some Aussie guy gave me shit because I crushed him, complaining he didn't know the game... If you come to another country, play a game you DON'T know, that's been ON CONSOLE for 6 odd months now, you don't get to complain. Sorry dude, but that's just plain scrubbery
I'd ease up if someone said they didn't know the game. Otherwise I'd only give rounds if the guy was my friend and was also giving me rounds, or if he seemed like a good dude and was also giving me rounds.

This is how i roll. It bites me in the ass sometimes though. The other day i randomed (close your eyes and wiggle the stick) balrog, and was jamming out against the cpu. Scrubbed a couple of wins against shit people aswell. One dude rocks up with gief. I was 2 rounds up, and gave him 2 rounds for no reason, then managed to lose the third. >_<

I guess, but I mean $2 is $2... randoming out in Round 5 to me is frustrating as hell... I see the arcade scene as the competitive scene... if you want to learn the game, fine... but expect to be beasted on when you're in the arena of beasts :/
This man speaks the truth! EXPECT TO GET BEASTED WHEN YOU ARE IN THE LAIR OF THE SMOOF... POWWWWEEEERRRR UUUUUUP

Awww this dude was pretty shit. In all honesty if you're giving 2 rounds you risk embarrassing yourself. As I am now well aware of.
its better than beating him 2 rounds in a row with perfect then on the last round you give the game away and say, ah sorry mate I gtg!!!
What you think he will think of you then :P?
anyways will be at yifans after 3 pm, if anyone is there!!!

What's wrong with that? I do it all the time (apart from the perfects). That's better than beating them then going around the other side and saying sorry gtg. I'm sure people would rather have their money than "an honorable fight" lol.
acutally I beat them and go here have my game :)

if moose was the cat running with necro, i got hella schooled. managed one win but got smacked every other time. also got smacked around by some random with chunners. queer as.
and that guy playing turtle ken/akuma before i left is a bit of cunt.
Lol.... so... it was moose?
GG to him....
I think I still got the game system right and parry alot XD
Yay! Then my Alex took him out! ;)

My Necro got smacked 10 times in a row by a Makoto, GGs to whoever that was...
It's beyond weird it feels how one side on the 3S cab is different to the other.

If you really want a challenge I'd need a few weeks to get back into the system.
sames goes here!!!
need to adjust to the game speed and system again.. but it will prolly take me 1-2 game to get use to it all again. Not like I am keen to be better at it as I like SF4 more :D
lol....
Zosla......
U SUX... XD
well... I kind of got back into it after playing with Moose....
We should play it somehow..
But...it is the same price as SF4 ...... Sux....
ive got it on ps2 emulated on my pc.... so i guess i can play it...
could try out ggpo 3S even
yeah I wouldn't bother with ps2 emu, FBA emulates cpsIII.
I originally had it for PS2... but my PS2 is now dead :D

Yup... I will be there too... around 3 :D
See you there hehe^^
GG's to DVS today
I've seen you down there a few times but didn't realise you were on the forums haha
Managed to pull out some jammy Abel ultras for the win... looks like my baiting is getting a little better these days!
I'd be interested to know how experienced you are in the Abel matchup... would be keen to catch up for some more games soon... GG's!

Not a bad Abel Jay. Rocking faces without even using f.mk. Its a fun match for El Fuerte. Not a fucking bullshit match like Rufus. >_>

I don't really use Abel's EX moves that much, besides EX roll... they're just too rubbish haha... whiffing an EX tornado throw REALLY hurts, as he has a ton of recovery time... so I just tend to not use it -- and blocking is actually a pretty good option as well, since teching throws at Yifans is 3000 times easier than online.
The roll mixups are actually really easy to get out of if you've seen them before... I've actually been abusing them like hell against everyone I play since no one really knows how to deal with them. One day I'm sure one of you will teach me a lesson for being a show pony
If there's something I KNOW that I'm lacking in my game, it's tick throwing, solid defense, and patience :/
EX throw 'beats out' more stuff. Fierce throw does the most damage, and jab throw has the most range. Theres a place for all of them. EX tornado on wakeup is surprisingly effective.
But why am i bothering to put my 2c in? You probably know more about Abel than i do. Hell, i havent played him in like a year.

It doesn't really beat out "more" stuff, it just beats out other stuff... EX TT loses to normal throws, and loses REALLY bad to neutral jump... In saying that, it beats out ground moves clean. Normal TT beats out throws (yes, even Zangiefs Ultra) and has less recovery than EX TT, although it's still really bad
All good Bill, it's always good to hear other peoples opinions... would be keen to get some games in against your Fuerte too... That crazy little Mexican is a match up I have huge problems with

He is compared to characters like Abel/Rufus/Claw. Fuck at some point i want to learn claw, but TBH im having a good amount of fun playing fucking ryu atm. >_> SOOOOOOO much easier than ken.
Would like to try that Abel if its better than Simonfish's one... but to this point I haven't seen a better Abel player than his...
Good to hear that birry wong is getting his balls together!!! hope to play u soon^^ if I got time to go Yifans :P

Yea, Ryu is a shit ton better than Ken (no offense Budafist :-*) his focus & super are really great tools to have in the shed. Ken's focus is lacking & links into his Ultra are tricky to pull off due to the perfect timing you have to execute :-X. Ryu has a number of ways to whip out his ultra which really arn't the difficult to pull off.
I'd also like to use claw a bit more, but I can't seem to see any links into the Ultra, have you found any? :-\

From what I've heard from Tatsu on the SRK forums, the only way to hit Ultra with claw is as a punish, or after a focus, but you need to be close to the wall for it to hit
Ya, no links into ultra.
I think Ken just needs to be able to FADC or into ORA ORA ORA ORA off a non counter as well and then he'll be sweet 8)

He is compared to characters like Abel/Rufus/Claw. Fuck at some point i want to learn claw, but TBH im having a good amount of fun playing fucking ryu atm. >_> SOOOOOOO much easier than ken.
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Yea, Ryu is a shit ton better than Ken (no offense Budafist :-*) his focus & super are really great tools to have in the shed. Ken's focus is lacking & links into his Ultra are tricky to pull off due to the perfect timing you have to execute :-X. Ryu has a number of ways to whip out his ultra which really arn't the difficult to pull off.
I'd also like to use claw a bit more, but I can't seem to see any links into the Ultra, have you found any? :-\
He can cancel his roll into a lvl2 FA, and then into ultra, but thats all ive seen of it.

I think Ken just needs to be able to FADC or into ORA ORA ORA ORA off a non counter as well and then he'll be sweet 8)
Yeah good call... I don't think Ken really has much FADC uses otherwise... his super does a decent stack of damage though... should be interesting to see what he's like in SSF4
And he could use a faster walking speed, and various tweaks to his normals. Hes not BAD, but for a character with special moves centred around rushdown, his rushdown tools are significantly lacking. He doesnt need any major reworking, just some very very slight tweaks, and he will beast.

No he can't.
You simply don't get enough frames for a lvl2 focus off a Roll to pull it off, unfortunately.
Trust me, I've tried it heaps in training, it simply doesn't work. I haven't seen anyone pull it off, either, vids or otherwise. The most practical combo you can hope for using Roll (RCF) is probably some variation on: J.hp, c.lp ~ c.mp xx jab RCF FADC (the last hit early) c.lp ~ c.lp ~ c.mp XX EX.Izuna Drop...
And even that one is character specific (no shotos or a bunch of others).

Would like to try that Abel if its better than Simonfish's one... but to this point I haven't seen a better Abel player than his...
From what I've heard, Simons Abel is beast... haven't actually seen much of him play though, so I couldn't comment.
I've been slowly but surely working on the Ryu match up... I think I've finally got it down... I just need some solid practice against some top Ryus to get it all solidified
Ken had his turn at being top tier!
GGS to Bill, Massiah (?) and Jay yesterday. Had a bit of practice recently Jay with various Rufus's but that was still damn close!
Yea gg's team.
And ggs to Mason again this morning. Fuck Akuma is lame. And i need to learn that Rufus match as well.
And gg to who i THINK was one of the coldfires. Not a bad viper. Just need to keep applying the pressure. If i cant breathe, i cant win. :P

Bill,
its not hard to get out of Akuma's tricks, as Mason is always repeating himself :P
just get ur spacing right and he is practically GG la. Just careful with the ultra/super as he lures u into them with his little tricks lol. Sorry mason to expose you hehe.
too bad yifans don't have the console characters, would love to try out some of the ones I recently learnt :(
Yeah gg mobius yesterday. I played one game with you and got absolutely destroyed. And yeah this morning was lol Bill. And hey Andy, when we played on Friday, you weren't particularly owning my akuma. My vortex still needs more work and I really can only do that shit on sagat.

Fuerte doesnt really have an answer for akumas roundhouse pressure. Cody gets me with the same stuff. And all my wake up pressure is negated due to that teleport.
But yea. Like mason says, yesterday he got rolled, today i got rolled. Since im going back to the 'guns blazing' approach, i expect my results to be drastically mixed like this. But im always gonna have trouble with the akuma match i think.
For what its worth I tend to play Akuma with a very much hit and run style. Zone him to about fuerts slide and react to what he does.
Also dont bother doing anything to him until you have built up at least one EX bar.
I use EX run on reaction to Akumas St.Roundhouse, and then mix up oki. Remeber most AKumas are gonna teleport on wakeup, so bait it and punish. Akuma also has alot of trouble against fuertes slide on wake up if you time it right. If he manages to teleprt and you slide, it gives you enough frames to run to him and keep pressure on.
ALso fuerte is lucky in that he is one of the better characters for escaping the vortex using EX Guacamole.
Thats my experience, but only from the few decent akumas I have played online.

I really like the idea of Euan playing Ryu as his main character. It's been a long time coming and well overdue.
yifans really need to replace their sticks with sanwa ones. someone spilt juice on one or something and two are loose as hell
Gg's this arvo again jay. Balrog = grief. Good to see I performed much better against Rufus today. Beast or get beasted imo.
And I swear I saw tht roll-> lvl2 focus in a video like 2 days ago. I'll find the vid and post it up when I'm on an actual computer and not my phone. It was the vega tutorial on gootecks' YouTube channel. I could be wrong though. Wouldn't be the first time I've seen something that wasn't what I thought it was.

Just give him a fireball like Ryu's .
im sure it was something like 15-5? Mason? :D
but u have improved from last time we played :)
Giving Ken a ultra link.. or Ryu's fireball... not a good idea. lol.
its like give Ryu Ken's forward mid kick and sagats tiger knee :D
Bro, give Ryu Sagat's forward Roundhouse, fuck tiger knee!

I'm pretty sure those are the lyrics to an old massive attack song. Karmacoma???
My mistake, I meant a song by: At the Drive In (Featuring members of the Mars volta you know)
Yeah whatever Andy... And the time before that when I played you at the giga comp I won 2-0 against your Chun. But that doesn't matter, you're much better than me and I beasted Jacksmash at Yifans anyway :)

Sweet, thats about when i finish work. Ive got to meet the missus at like 645, but thats plenty of time to BEAST/get owned.
Aww and mason you missed me and Jay annihilating simon yesterday. BIRRY WONG GIVES NO ROUNDS.
Simonfish? lol?
if its him, please call him a noobie for me hahahaha.
Btw, why does everyone get so sensitive when bringout out some numbers? either way its not biggy, all part of a learning curve and the move you lose the more you learn, as for the winner you learn jack. lawl.
I am still thinking if I should appear at Yifans today after work.. if I am then I can't go Kareoke with the chicks :(

LOL, it's nothing like that. First of all he's allready got a fireball, that pretty much looks exactly the same, he just needs the same zoning properties. Ryu pretty much makes him look stupid that way.

Ken isnt about zoning imo. If he was gonna be a zoner then we may as well just sack him and have ryu.
Ken has traditionally been a highpriority in your face mixup machine. I think the natural weakness of mixup in comparison to zoning is Ken's biggest problem in this game.
I wrote a bit of a novel in the super SSIV thread about my thoughts on balancing the characters.

gg's today electric, could tell you were slightly off tho. Did you have a big weekend?
I still reckon intergrating that EX tornado throw into your game more would be devastating ;)...pity that the wheel kick has a bit too much start up on it, otherwise it would be a good counter against fireballs...I was really wary to throw any at all unless it was in a combo :-\
I have to admit I'm happy I figured out a way to counter that air juggle, it was giving me nightmares after out last encounter. You bouched me all over the screen like a rag doll last week.....almost gave me motion sickness :-X
Yeah, I was definitely off... Couldn't get in on you so I got super impatient, hence all the air-to-air stuff, and as everyone knows, impatience vs. Ryu = death haha
I've hit a bit of a slump recently to be honest... I'm not sure exactly what it is, but I just seem to lose EVERYTHING :/ maybe just one of those weeks ?
Anyways, I'm also glad you figured out how to beat the roll mixups... Neutral jump also works to some degree, but again, it's a mixup that you don't really want to be on the wrong end of. EX shoryu is the best option, but be wary of a cr.hp xx lk roll, block, as you could just be in the same situation after landing
Since Ryu pretty much controls the match up, the only real way to win it is to unsettle him... Get in, tech throws, block all day, then wait for a mistake and punish it to pieces. Thats when you can start working all the mixups, which I never managed to do :(
Hopefully I can get out of this funk and give you an actual challenge next time haha

I reckon we should organise a jam session at some point, I really enjoy playing against people who have other characters down. Usually it's a Ryu or Ken match up at Yifans....unless any of the other forum fullas are down there....
I also enjoy using Rose...and would like to text her against your Abel... :)

I'm planning one at my house in about 3-4 weeks (probably the last weekend in November) It'll be on a Sunday from noon til late. I'll post up in the forum closer to the time, but I EXPECT everyone out south and def a few of you townies to show up. Cool?
I got no cellphone ATM, so if you're keen you can pm me here for details in the meantime, however I should have a phone by then anyway so, yeah nah should be good.
Probably have Alpha 3 & CVS2 spinning on the PS2 for those looking for something other than SFIV at the time too! :D
very nice of James to offer this, if he wasn't living so far I would join but maybe unwanted anyways lawl :P
But I am sure he is a great host as heard from many others, guys that need practice, this is your chance!!!

Are you kidding, you'd be most welcome brother.
My pad is pretty easy to get to, it's pretty much the same road as the motorway offramp at Manuaku (heading south from the city), so yeah, no excuses, hitch a ride with brother Ben and you're there.
I'd also like to discuss with Lenny and a few of the South crew about setting up some fortnightly/3 weekly South Auckland SFIV ranbats at our places. . . so yeah, thoughts on that on the day would be most welcome.
good ideas definitely, it should rapidly improve the gameplay of south aucklanders if you manage to pull them off.
I was considering something along the line as well but more like monthly ranbat at Giga/ RvB, its got all teh setups and pretty cheap not to mention got most the facility and not having to host it at someones place.
But not sure how many people would be interested in such events as it would go on for a few months and the same people who registered must turn up... or else tehre ain't much point to it, this is where thigns gets hard as people have things in lives that they need to tend to and not always available.
Getting to xMas and I got tons of time hehehehe!!! so expect something to happen in the next month!!!

I was there from 11-12 today. Though the only highlight of my games were fighting cpu Akuma and Gouken on the 2 games that i had. (Havent actually fought them at yifans before. Underwhelming to say the least.)
Actually thats a lie. The highlight was actually managing an 8-hit RSF at yifans for the first time ever. >_>

Ha ha. Yeah and I thought I was doing you a favour by not talking to you while you played! I really think this is an obstacle that is easily overcome though just by simply playing when others are around. And it's a crucial part to winning at tournaments.

Good to see you using guile though.
So what happened Gene? Any perfects bro?

Looks like you need to start putting in the practice time, and watch el fuerte vids over and over until you think your the guy playing.
OR just switch to a mid tier char or someone thats easier to play with. OR just drink more beers, dunno why, it's just good for you, better than that shit weetbix.

Maybe you should start applying all that advice you give to other people to your own game..... ::)
You looked like a steaming kettle when you walked out of Yifans.....don't get mad, get even..... :-*
El Fuerte is a bottom feeder shit character....harden up and use a character with projectiles... 8)

I do generally apply that 'advice' to my own game. I know what i was doing wrong and i just wasnt rectifying it. Hence looking like a steaming kettle. The loss itself doesnt make me angry, its the fact that i was losing to stuff that i know how to counter, and regularly do so, but i just wasnt. And moreso, when i attempted to 'get even' i suffered from the thing that annoyed me in the first instance. >_>
And Fuerte is fine. He lacks a bit here and there but when he's not being played retardedly (ie. full screen run -> splases. >_>) he has plenty of tools to fend off the rest of the cast. I played with ryu at yifans for about a week recently, and had MUCH better results than with fuerte, but there was absolutely NO satisfaction in the wins, and i wasn't having fun playing with him. I find most of the cast boring as fuck to be honest. Thats why i use fuerte. And lets not forget you were using guile, who is arguably more bottom feeding than fuerte is.
But yea, apologies for the rage. It was justified from my perspective, but i imagine talking to someone who looks like theyre about to explode is pretty awkward.

I used Guile when I first started playing the game, but I couldn't get over how ugly his character portrait was lol... and his model could use some work, IMO, but couldn't they all ?
Hopefully he gets the buffs he's well in need of... then I may pick him back up again!

Yeah i was playing him at the start too, then i found out he wasn't one of the best, and I was like ohhh heeeyylll nnooo. Switched to Ryu/Sagat right quick, then they got boring right quick so kept on switching. Now Ryu's fun again cos i'm shit with him again, and I get those ''yeah I just fadc'ed on the 1p side omg'' feelings again.

What?! No way man that's Ikeno. As far as I'm concerned they are perfect! It seems like he really went for the Old school Akiman style and it the hell works. You rarely see this bravery in commercial media these days and I am so thankful that Street Fighter stuck to it's guns rather than trodding down the o so safe but utterly souless garden path.

Agreed Som, Guile looks like Guile as.
I think all of the portraits do the characters justice, and really show the flavor of each also.

ja. If you looked at what they were trying to do, I think they did a pretty good job of achieving it.
Come to think of it, yes... you guys are right -- same style as World Warrior Guile (even though he was an ugly fuck too! :P)
I only really started playing from Super, so I prefer Super Turbo Guile
from my perspective most characters are good as they are, of course some have more cons than pros compared to others but with experience/ skills it could be overcomed easily. Even with the looks, they are made unique to its own style...only character I really have a problem with is that fat tummy of what his name...Rufus...meh ugly shit.
Yeah but Dan has a tooth in the middle. That's just wrong.

Yeah but he's a Biker. You don't see many pretty bikers. Bikers are tough enough as it is but a bloody 400 what pound biker that does Kung Fu? Man that's a pretty tough Fight.
I thought being a biker implied you have a bunch of other fat friends too...

Bro be honest man, he looks fugly as, kinda looks like a frog. It must be the satsui no hadaou. Look at Akuma in the movie Alpha Generations.
Who cares about them anyway, who's your favourite looking chick in ''Man of the House''. Christina Millian and that Latino chick were ohhhhhhh shhhiimmmmeeeeee.

For the first time ever he actually looks a little japanese...I think it's the best model ever...I am totally bias though.... ::)

Heh good to hear.
As for doing dumb shit, welcome to my world. The matches against that Ken were (and probably always will be) terrible. I performed 1000 times better against Hue earlier on than him. >_>
But gg's to all that were there. Its always fun to have a decent group down there.
Yeah some amazing Fuerte matches against the Ken dude. Good games all round.
What time are you guys gonna be there tomorrow? (Friday)
No Birry Wong this week. Dinner with the missus.
FUCK YOU BIRRY WONG!
God... I have no fucking idea what to do against Fuerte :( -- it also doesn't help that my bnb (f+mk, st.hp xx hp CoD) doesn't work because of your fucking reeling animation...
How is someone supposed to deal with Fuerte wake up mixups ? I now know that crouch block is the worst fucking thing you can do, but my other options weren't exactly working either...
jump out < tostada
focus/ex roll < tortilla
stand block < everything fucking imaginable except tostada
What do I do ? :(
What you said is pretty much
MAN HOW DO I BEAT BIRRY WONG AT ROCK PAPER SCISSORS!?!?!?!!?
its called experience, still calm and learn his patern.
once your out of teh mixups he don't have much options.
But to be honest, jsut don't get knock down :)
Kill the mutha b4 he gets to do anything hehe.

What about play your own mixup game with quick stand and regular stand?
Yea it's a guessin game.
jump HP › tortilla
Roll > splash
Learn his pattern, and dont worry if you take a few, the damage is shit. A couple of good Abel mix ups should hurt fuerte pretty bad.
Its not so much a 'pattern' that you have to learn, but more learning to read fuerte a bit better. (hes at distance X, so hes most likely to do move Y etc.)
For the most part though, a backdash is a good option on wake up against fuerte. Just keep an eye out for meaty slides. For the most part though, a simple backdash is going to drastically slow down his momentum on wake up.
And weazzy, you know fuerte has A LOT more than 2 mix up options dont you? Knowing how to counter splash and tortilla isnt going to get you anywhere, except against terrible fuerte's. Most of the time, i try to stay away from tostada now anyway, since it is the most easily punished of fuerte's options. That being said, once youve trained your opponent to think youre not going to tostada, thats when you take the fucker to splash mountain. Besides that, its crap outside of a high/low crossup with a c.lk/c.mk (and even then its pretty shit) Splash is the move you spam against scrubs, since they cant be mixed up, due to them just mashing dragons. And a jump HP wont beat a tortilla if its timed right. In fact, if you jump hp a SAFE tortilla, youre eating a guac, an ultra, or a c.hp -> more mixups. (That being said, if you jump hp an UNSAFE tortilla, then fuerte is probably going to eat that hp. And god knows im good at fucking up the timing on the safe tortilla. I tend to do it early and then Jacks sagat hits me with an autocorrected tiger)
Best thing to do against fuerte believe it or not is take Andy's advice and rush him down. Since he hits like a bitch, and takes damage like a girl, the match is all about getting the momentum as much in your favour as you can. If fuerte isnt mixing you up, then he is losing the match.
Specifically against me, if you turtle up, im generally not patient enough to counter play it. (I got Sconned by an awful AWFUL balrog after you left yesterday. Made me rage.) But fuerte has plenty of runaway tools, and if both opponents are at opposite sides of the screen, sitting there playing 'come and get me bitch', fuerte is just as good at it as any other character in the game. And, helpful hint: If fuerte moves off the ground AT ALL when hes not doing a wake up mixup, (ie. if the tard is trying to splash you from half screen etc) Abel can skyfall EVERYTHING he has. Including his fucking f.mk iirc. But youre gonna need some fucking ESP for that shit.
But yea, chalk it up to experience. Youre better than me bro. You were robbed.
Nah yeah, what I meant was, ugh hmm.......http://forums.shoryuken.com/showthread.php?t=214340
Couldnt be bothered explaing EVERYTHING. You cant touch me Birry Wong, all this info is stalled in my membrane.
replying too much on information maybe hardmful to your gameplpay as everyone plays differently and its different everytime. Best bet is to watch and adjust to the situation.

I LIKE too much information... the more the better -- that's how I learn
Cheers for the info Bill... I've read so how the match Fuerte Abel match up SHOULD be played, but I guess I just need a chance to put it in to action... Shiro vs. TKD is a great example of it
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n84PMHqi5JY
Shiro gets caught in the mix up early in the first round and gets punished for doing so... He never reaaaally gets out of it... so I guess the way to beat Fuerte is to never get in to the mix in the first place
Abels back dash sucks balls, but it seems like it has some uses in the Fuerte match, at least on wake up... I'm pretty sure I could react to a meaty slide and block accordingly too
More games bro!
damn! TKD's a beast
THe problem with fuerte is that his mixups are broken down into twp categories.
You either get thrown.... or you dont get thrown. Hence, if you focus on wake up you have nullified half his wakeup mixup. If you guess right off the 50-50 you have a chance to destroy half his lifebar with most characters.
Lenny is right and as stated you either try not to let them get you into the mixup or if you do you have to play teh 50/50 game like any other characters mixup.
with relying on too much information makes you hesitate to do certain things hence will decrease your action/reaction and restrict/ limit you and thats when you will get confuse and make mistakes.
What I am implying is that you can have as much information about teh matchup as you want but at teh end of the day its really how you integrate those knowledge back into your gameplay and make it your style. This is just my advice, so don't take it the wrong way, as everyone has their own way of doing things.
... the information TELLS you that it can be broken down into the 50/50, and what the parameters are. You can 'play' all you like and you might not be able to experience every possible scenario and test out every possible move. Once you HAVE the information there's nothing to hesitate about!
This is precisely why analyzing this shit is useful!
Exactly.
Without the information yiu might not be hesitating, but you wont you also wont be doing the right move for the situation.
Like if you didnt know you can Ultra rec frames on Abels roll. You would probably Tortillla, then if he did it again a couple times you would tortilla again, while your Ultra just sits there. The info 's giving you scenarios to think about, so you DONT hesitate when choosing the best option.
bro, just wing it and hope for the best.

we can argue all day about this, as I stated we all have our ways of doing things. Some do it with try and error, some read/analyze specific informations and only go by the book.
Personally, I hate books and I like custimozing stuff and integrating my our views/ideas into things I learn and create something new, its all about being different and being creative.
I don't see all you guys that analyze every freaking move and knowning what to do and not do in situations do any better than those who don't.

Sorry Mr 47th, how am I an idiot? I am just pointing outthings from my perspective.
Alan, I am not saying any other way is better, I am implying that people do things differently. Going by the books all day would not take you any further than the book itself, only when you integrate that knowledge with yourself is where the creative thinking comes from.
Also I don't read anything from the forums on SRK or any other sites, I am the type that try and error and if I fail thats a learning lesson for me. But I think that experience is better than any book you read and think you should be doing, unlike some ehre that understands all teh specific slag that they use on teh srk forums etc etc and still ends up getting you ass kicked by the person you so call idiot.
btw I am loving this :) starting an all out war with teh brain box!!!! keesp me from bordom at work :)

You're not though. You're saying that people shouldn't read up and that learning from experience is a better way to learn. That's what half the problem is. If you didn't diss research there wouldn't be any beef.
OK, now your just being a tool. Of course you'll beat me, my execution on stick still sux, I could fadc better than right now 9 months ago. When I mash DP it dashes forward, sometimes twice if there baiting and dont kill me for the first dash.
Go ahead play the game as you want to, just stop being a lil faggot as bitch about it.
Muscle memory taking a while for my execution, but should be ready for barfights next year.
Oh and calling me MR47 is the dryest fucking thing I've ever heard and would insult alot more people in those brackets then me.

He does get it. He's saying he'd rather sweep a 100 whiffed DP's before learning the BEST option. Rather than reading it after sweeping/throwing a few whiffed DP's (an example of course).

I did not say don't go researching blah blah, all I said was don't rely on information you read too much but think for yourself and adapt to situations. so read properly.
Weazzy,
From teh first day I played SF4 I have not done anything like you said punishing (sweep 100 times)I learn from my mistakes and thats how you improve.
I mean how can you say what the book says are fact and works? you need to try and experience it right? Calling me whatever you like mate but at the end of teh day you know for a fact that learning is more than just reading the books.
LOL, thats why I said it was an example bro.
And OMFG!!! Obviously you have to try it. You cant just read shit and install it into muscle memory. This IS NOT the fucking Matrix.
Everything you learnt and still to learn by the sounds of it has been found out allready, and you can, if you want to, READ IT.
But yer w/e go ahead waste your time. I will bow down to you if you find the next big SF4 infinite loop or something else ground breaking lmfao.
lol it was also an example from me :)
" Obviously you have to try it. You cant just read shit and install it into muscle memory."
thats what I have been implying all this time, you can't just read, everything comes by experience and learning to use it during the real thing.
At no point I have said to anyone not to learn from books or forums as those are teh best resources to learn up to certain degree.
lol, shit gets too twisted when your trying to read it and understand where there coming from.
I was just about to write something but noticed I've said it before lol. I've also noticed we argue about stupid shit cos most of the time were not understanding each other.
And I'm too blazed for this shit.

I'm pretty sure the first time you played any SF you read how to do a shoryuken motion. I'm sure you didn't blindly work out how to do everyone's Ultra and you certainly didn't invent Shoryuken->FADC->Ultra.
FADC ultra =/= reading about how to play matchups and strategy.
I think you guys should just put aside your differences and settle this with some grudge match. There's really no point in arguing and creating this tension in the community when it's already so small. You should be helping each other out not at each others throats.
In other words:
YO REAL TALK JUST STFU AND PLAY THE GAME ALRITE?!?!

Depends on who you were playing at the Arcades prior to console release/ hard trials.
From first experience of course.
scrubs/noobs= You'd never learn how to fadc if you havent seen one.

seriously Simon, get real with your comments, if you have even payed attention to my post you would of understood that i said from the very beginning, I was merely giving my point of view on things and you guys turned it into this nonsense.
At least Smoof has the guts to admit to thing whereas many of you just go on and on about analyzing this and reading that, then what happens? ends up losing to who? those who hardly read those SRK forums or eventube. Therefore I gave my opinion on this as i see the exact problem lies within every single one of you. Your top players here are who? Kevin? Simonfish? Hue? Cody? or the Guile guy? none of them read anything, all we do is watch and play each other, the most they will do is watch some vids of Daigo. The only one that uses his knowledge from reading forums/ guides would be Ben and have done well, that is because he is that much different from most of you.
Oh and Mason, the first time I played SF4 I was actually taught by Hue and Simonfish while watching them play and taking their second rounds. But I do admit I checked out the move list on the arcade machine as I was wanting to know the focus atk command, does that count? guess so :)
Hahah, now I'm sure everyone can understand what you wrote there Andy :)
Your the one who was like oh yeah we dont read in and were better than you's. Fuck off homo. You act like a dick. You and Smoof are fucking fags. I'm not talking this shit with a couple of fags like you's. Get his cock outta your mouth, it's clear you's are fuckbuddies.

James' comment was totally justified. What you said was smarmy and rude. And what you said before that sparked everything was condescending and unneccessary. I dont think you realise how rude youre being. You THINK youre giving your point of view, but youre actually NOT. What you have ACTUALLY said is 'im better than you all lololololol.'
Ill give examples.
Here is a post that you made:
Quotewe can argue all day about this, as I stated we all have our ways of doing things. Some do it with try and error, some read/analyze specific informations and only go by the book.
Personally, I hate books and I like custimozing stuff and integrating my our views/ideas into things I learn and create something new, its all about being different and being creative.
I don't see all you guys that analyze every freaking move and knowning what to do and not do in situations do any better than those who don't.
The part in
italics is your opinion. Thats fine. That is totally welcome discussion. The part in
bold is rude and arrogant. Totally unnecessary and shouldnt have been said.
Example 2:
Quotereplying too much on information maybe hardmful to your gameplpay as everyone plays differently and its different everytime. Best bet is to watch and adjust to the situation.
This is the quote that started EVERYTHING. You misunderstood WHY we were analysing things. Our analysis wasnt specific to different playstyles, it was specific to different moves.
What youre talking about here is adaptation. You were saying 'everyone plays differently so theres no point talking about things without knowing how they play'. What everyone else was saying was that 'if you discuss all your options in advance, you have the knowledge ready for when the opponents playstyle changes. So you are able to adapt with minimal risk involved.'
Remember what i said before about you having the knowledge but not knowing you have it? Its the same here. What you consider 'adjusting to the situation' is THE SAME AS 'knowing what different techniques to use when the opponent does something specific (ie turtle/rushdown/runaway)' All we are doing is discussing it.
Electric asked for specific advice in the fuerte match. We gave it to him. What you said was basically 'play more'. By discussing it beforehand, it helps him learn quicker when he inevitably does play again.
Example 3:
QuoteLenny is right and as stated you either try not to let them get you into the mixup or if you do you have to play teh 50/50 game like any other characters mixup.
with relying on too much information makes you hesitate to do certain things hence will decrease your action/reaction and restrict/ limit you and thats when you will get confuse and make mistakes.
What I am implying is that you can have as much information about teh matchup as you want but at teh end of the day its really how you integrate those knowledge back into your gameplay and make it your style. This is just my advice, so don't take it the wrong way, as everyone has their own way of doing things.
The part in
bold annoyed people. You say youre giving your opinion, but the part in bold is specific ONLY to you. Noone cares what works for you unless they ask about it.
The part in
italics is actually intelligent posting. We all know this. Electric ASKED for us to help him out. So we are. You show here that you understand different methods of learning, but unfortunately the whole post is brought down by that part in bold. The part in bold is you TELLING everyone that one method is wrong. And that is totally untrue, and ignorant. THIS annoys people. I personally know its not intentional, and to a lesser extent, everyone else does too, but you just need to be careful with how you say things.
Aaaaand finally. The comment that really REALLY annoyed people was:
Quotelol and lol and more LOL.

This is ridiculous. And you shouldnt have even posted it. Your first sentence, you LAUGH at everyones opinions. This is INCREDIBLY rude. You say things like 'im just giving my opinion' but in this post, you basically tell everyone that theirs is so wrong that its funny. Which it stupid of you. Why would they take your opinion seriously when you dont bother doing the same for them?
The part in bold is really really ignorant. All youre saying here is 'im right because these guys dont read and they are better than you'. I would just like to point out that Hue, Cody, Kevin and Simon have ALL done their research to learn things. And 'watching videos of daigo' is doing the same thing as reading discussions. Theyre getting examples of what to do and when. Theyre just doing it through video instead of writing.
You have NO RIGHT to be saying that everyone will lose to these guys. This is totally incorrect, and demonstrates NOTHING besides your own arrogance. This was a complete waste of a post, and did nothing but make people angry. I had thought you were more intelligent than this.
Like i say, i dont think youre doing it deliberately, (which is why im generally not as aggressive in my reactions) but just be weary that 90% of people will react the way the others have if you talk to them like that. Noone likes arrogance. I know youre not going to change any time soon, and you shouldnt, thats who you are and thats fine. You just need to be careful when you talk about 'who you think the best players are and why' etc.
I hope this clears things up. Im not trying to be harsh. I know you a bit better than the rest of these guys, and i understand where youre coming from, and what you mean. You need to be aware that the rest of them dont. Im just trying to explain why everyone is annoyed, and while they reacted the way they did. Im trying to keep the peace here.
Andy bro im not trying to start anything with that post. Im just trying to explain why everyone is talking the way they are. Im not angry or annoyed at you. Like i say, i know you a bit better, so as far as im concerned were all good. You just need to be careful what you say around the others.

Yeah, the points raised above are pretty much what got me annoyed. Andy may have intended to say "hey read all you want, but you need to be able to apply the knowledge as well, and that comes from experience" (which by the way is true and fine, but pretty bloody obvious), however it came across as "you guys are doing it wrong and I'm better than you".
Now I know it has been demonstrated time and time again on these boards that he says one thing and means another, much less insulting thing (although I don't doubt for a minute he's reading this and going "I *am* better than all of you?"), and usually I don't fall for it but I guess this time I did. Not that that excuses the poor communication.
To start with, thanks for teh wall of text bill you maniac, you actually made me read it... just because its quiet here in the morning :) appreciated the break down.
I had my reasons for what I posted, don't expect anyone to actually understand tbh.
Anyways, lets keep the post as it is there is no further dicussion needed.

That's right man. Andy, dude. Before you go on the defensive maybe sit back and think why you get the reactions you do. You're a nice guy n all but nobody likes being talked down to.
I mean look at guys like Kevin. Nobody ever badmouths him cos he pretty much just treats people respectfully. Sure we're all guilty of being dicks now n again. I know I can be an annoying jerk on these boards and have got shit for it before but the key is realising that you're doing it or at least that what your saying is pissing people off.
And respect to Weazy and Bill etc for not being afraid to point shit out.

Man you still don't get it.
That is because kevin don't bother with you guys, whereas I know most of you and would like to help change things a bit (which is not working from the replies I've got)
So I won't try again :)

wow I really think this yiffans thread and the psn good games thread should both strip down , wank each other off and see which thread shoots off the most jizz in our eyes for thread of 2009 .
My point ?
I have none as usual but was a good 6 page read ;D
^Agree, topics like this are amazing.
Just posting to say I see where Zolza is coming from (I think) and agree...
I don't get why you guys are coming down on him for being arrogant when he's just saying to play the game more and learn these things for yourselves rather than trying to communicate it via a forum.
Personally I read forums a bunch and watch an obscene amount of match videos but get my ass handed to me by someone who has done nothing but play the game.
Arcade learnt and taught FTW.
The reality is that not everyone can get regular comp, and regular matches against other people.
So in place of that regular comp, the next best thing to do is to digest as much info as you can from wherever you can get it.
Lenny, that sounds like far too reasonable a reply for this thread.

yiffans vids after the mvc2 tourney
http://nzism.alphaism.com/forum/index.php/topic,925.msg25707.html#msg25707
Aye, my name up there 8)
Btw, posting from Hong Kong.
Had a game with that Chun player Kit(the guy who got a set from Daigo at Evo09).
Lost at final round, and it was a pretty close round.
Doesn't mean much tho, cause it was just casual we weren't going all out.
The only thing worth mentioning is, he actually managed to pull off an ultra counter
after blocking my sweep in the only, casual, game we played against each other, when I seldom did sweeping in that game. Feels like insane reaction to me.
I'm not sure if its a everyone-can-do move these days cause I haven't been playing try hard for ages.
Oh.. and he FADB jump evaded on reaction, when he FA my sweep and I canceled it into Akuma ultra. what. the. fuck.
Top players here are obviously much better than anyone I've seen in NZ IMO,
felt like one of the sagat guy i played against could actually read my mind lol, never had that in NZ.
Other than those maybe less than 10 gurus, i think the general player level at yifan/nz tournaments are higher tho.

It's good to test your skills against good players, I've had the pleasure of playing one or two great players online who did things i 'd never seen in the game or have ever seen since eg:
Zodiac (Xbox network) is probably the best I've ever played, he'd always go random box and pull of combos and strings I'd never seen.
I popped into an ultra with Ryu (at serious close range our characters were basically on top of each other)he FADC one hit of the my Ultra (so quickly I only registered the blue flash of it being absorbed) and straight into his Ultra (Abel) with the rest of my Ultra cruising past him)....I've never seen someone with reactions that fast or since..... :o
I think after like 15 games...I only manged to beat him once and it was tight as fuck....with him using every character under he sun....

I thought it was pretty common knowledge that Chun could do that? Pretty sure a couple of other chars can too. I've certainly known that since the first couple of months when the west coast US players were doing it back when they were the best coast.
As for the quoting, I totally agree with Stu. It looks stupid when people mess up the quotes.
It makes good people not want to register. Fucking up your quotes is like fucking up your paragraphs or spelling on an essay. Even if it doesn't detract from the actual content, it makes people not want to read whatever you've written no matter how valid the point.
Woah sweet as Cody. So you're saying you sweeped and he instantly FABDed it so he could jump from your demon. Wtf sounds intense. Started the blanka training yet?
I think youre getting a little too impressed with that FA backdash. It sounds to me just like a lack of chun experience, since noone really plays her at yifans. Most characters can't do it effectively, given the properties of their backdash, so the ultra will catch them. But characters like chun and vega who have quick backdashes with decent range will be able to do so quite easily.
Good to hear that the 'general' level of skill is on par, and good to see cody getting some experience against particularly strong players.

Whoa I thought you couldnt get outta that!!! I backdash right into it. * count how many face palms needed * shit.
edit: Phew it's only fast dash chars. I really need to start reading all the posts before I post shit.
Where do you's park to go to Yifans BTW? I really wana play there now, sounds like heaps of fun.
u get an hour parking free if you park in attrium on elliot st behind yifans, though you will need to purchase some food/drink in the attium above 5 dollars with receip for that free carpark. atleast you get something in return rather than just paying for carpark.
Thanks to the viper who played me 13 game straight in Yifans yesterday, very brave to keep up challenging. GGs.

well if they do, town will become a ghost town. No one will be there during those hours except for the people who works... The street parking is rediculouesly epensive and carparks are the same during business hours.

no video, sorry.
And no Mason, I'm giving up SF4 these days, so no blanka training lol
I guess I'll start playing again after SSF4 came out
Ye, for the ult counter thing, I knew you can do that long time ago too,
I wasn't surprised by the fact that it is possible.
Since it was the first time we play against each other and IIRC that was the only sweep
I did for the whole time when he had ult, didnt feel like he was reading my pattern, but more like..
I've charged a bit (obviously not for too long, coz we were moving back and forth probing and zoning when I couldnt do fireball),
ok, after blocking the sweep I've charged enuf, I can do the ult now.
I think its similar to Akuma super after blocking sweep which is much easier I guess, it is possible,
but it does impress me when he was able to pull it off playing against a unknown playing style, and when it was the only chance.
Since i never use Chun and seldom play against Chun, and I'm not spending time studying about the game these day,
what I wasnt sure was whether it is a even noobs can do it move or once in a 100 games move for normal players.
Same goes for the FA back dash thing.... He was FA lv1 hitting me the whole time even when I got ult...
COdy
Baarrroooowww. I got clamped, cost $200 to get it off, $450 if not done in the next hour. I ran for 45mins straight to my mums work and back. Got there just in time to pay it. Raged on the way outta the parking lot and hit a pole. Repairs costed an EXTRA $450. All for those damn chicken wings. They still tasted good though knawimsayin.
Sounds hardout. Andy used to punish my sweeps with ultra all the time, but that's probably cause I sweep too much to bait my ultra.

Yeah Sagats Ultra has pretty slow start up frames. Still gotta try it though once my arm heals, watching vids when you cant play is torture.
its actually one of the best ultras... it does insane dmg and links with a lot of sagay's atks, it even punishes jump in heavy...with its auto correct lol.

Wow really it can punish jump in heavy with auto correct :o
heap of dmg you say, even links off attacks? :o
Wow thats the best damn Ultra a guy could ask for. :D
Re: Yifans. It's pretty empty now as most people have gone back to their home countries. I think as far as SF4 goes many people are over paying for this game especially since it's coming to the end of it's run.
Yifans always empties out this time of year.
empty is true at thsi time of the year as the asians that oes there are usually gone back to home country, though SF4 don't revolve around those people, the only ones I know that has gone is Hue and Maybe Cody if is hasn't gone yet. the rest are locals.
Yeah since Uni's over, I don't really wanna pay to come into the city to pay to play at Yifans. Might come in sometime next week if I go to giga.
Its not worth playing at yifans atm. Maybe in the new year again when people start coming back in to work/uni etc.
but this is the time when we are all on holiday, thats when you should be playing!!!
on teh other hand we should just get together and have a session at Giga since they open right through xmas :)
people want to get out of the city.

Nah man. Seriously nobody is in Yifan's at this time of year. It's kinda hit or miss to go down there.
im much more inclined to heading over to someones house and thrashing out some games, rather than heading to yifans and hoping someone is there to play.

im much more inclined to heading over to someones house and thrashing out some games, rather than heading to yifans and hoping someone is there to play.

Your TE should work as long as you download the drivers. Mine does, although it might be different for PS3. And GGPO will work on a laptop. Although not sure what youll get for $1000. Laptops can get pricey.
Yeah i'll need to hustle a couple more hundi, with my mad hustle game. I think the ps3 TE are shit for PC, just my luck.
Yifans should do a christmas special, only the true fiends would be there on christmas day. With all their christmas cash aswell.

They can be trouble, but I also know people that use their PS3 TE on a laptop just fine.

I'm sure one or two day in town won't kill teh beach thing, I've been to the beach twice this week and going out there again on a boat cruise, who ask you to stay and play SF4 everyday -.- gosh.
Nah man. Seriously nobody is in Yifan's at this time of year. It's kinda hit or miss to go down there.
Thats why I go there only on Friday afternoons, usually Gankatron, Jack and GuileGuy is there and a few randoms. Last week on Wednesday Lunch time I was there, had nearly 20 games from my $2 bucks :D and the challenger was pretty decent with his Ryu/Guile and Blanka. But the guy left before I got a chance to see who he was as he was really decent Blanka.
Also DVS and another Viper guy from this forum(PSN I think) goes there quiet Often, last two times I was there he has been spending like $20-$30 on challenging.
If everyone is like er... no ones there and not go down then of course there won't be a scene.
If you guys want to we can make like Friday afternoon at about 3-6 or 7 pm to jam in Yifans :) just some catching up, having a few games in teh Arcade, but then some would say its too expensive blah blah, thats why we have like the so called Yifan crew....
weezy
a laptop for 1k is more than enough for ggpo its other shit that it may be crap for
i got one for $700 about 2-3 years ago and its fine for ggpo only thing its crap for for me is watching hd movies but i got the xbox for that
Yeah I'll definitely be there this Friday Andy.
Oh wait it's Christmas.

Nah yeah i looked it up, ggpo runs on any old shit specs. I wish i could put it on my PC but my lil sister has the control over everything in this house, and she's really evil. I got the best argument ender for her though, ''So, I fucked your friends, hahahaha''.
GG's this morning Budafist.
Man, my gameplay against your ken is like:
Bait the dragon.
-> Dragon comes out -> do shit punish/get dragoned during punish >_>, repeat.
-> No Dragon -> apply pressure, for purposes of baiting a dragon.
--> Get Dragoned during blockstring/mixup pressure. Repeat from beginning.
I swear im going to have flaming fisted nightmares for the next week. Id be angry if it wasnt so awesome.
And for reference, every time you hear me yell 'WHAT? or WHAT THE FUCK?' think of it more as me yelling 'I FUCKED UP WHAT I WAS TRYING TO DO BECAUSE IM TERRIBLE'

Bum life !!!
lifting beers is hard work you cock suckers. I'd like to see YOU steal a webcam per day to support your habbits. My dealer stopped excepting meat. Shouldnt of told all the kids outside.
Ironically living with my parents is why i can afford so much shit. (Yifans etc.)
Even though the fuckers charge me the same rent as if i was living somewhere else. >_>
If I could live with my parents the gaming/drinking would be non stop (and i'll be in nz and yifans most time :P). Soo sad being independent :'(
On topic guys.
Like this:
Yifans is a fairly good arcade for New Zealand standards. 8)
Nah like this.
I walk PAST Yifans when scoping for trim, people to rob and when i'm running from the pigs i hide there.
I'm not worried about losing money at Yifans, i'm just worried i'll be stuck to the machine when I'm fiending for a ciggy or my precious beewars are calling me.

Hey can someone tell me what that raiden like game behind the SF4 cabs is? Now that I have my stick I wanna go through all the fun arcade games. Finally got metal slug x working and me and my dad clocked it in only 46 credits...
Well there is Raiden 1,2 and 3 behind there. Raiden Fighters might be the one your thinking of. Many of the Raiden games aren't emulated correctly/at all due to hardware and encryption.

SO you finally have a stick. Is that for the xbox too?
Also, yeah those raiden games don't work correctly at all :'( If your PC can handle a ps2 emu try the ports.
Yeah TE for xbox. Damn I'll try get a ps2 emu or whatever. Raiden I just isn't cutting it. Might be Raiden Fighters then. It just looks really epic with lots of stuff on the screen at once.
You want that, then play ikaruga :P

True, i'd use that Yang/Yun ( which ever ones better) dude cos he's up there in the tier list and hes not in any other game.
yun is way to fancy for me.
Flux and I should be at Yifans on saturday, not sure what time. TXT me on 021-982112 to confirm on the day I guess.
Hmmm I might try make it in then. That game you linked me looks good Gino, my computer's just broken atm so I can't play it.

Fuck, and GOOD balrogs.
Fuck balrog.
i don't think i've ever really played anyone that plays fuerte so at least you know the match up! what time are you peeps looking at heading down?
nice to put some names to some faces! also good to play gino in person instead of over the net, gankatron smashed me in a balrog mirror to, haha D:
Sorry dude, i was really trying to get some games in with my brother. Hope to see you round more often and possibly the jam session i have next Sat.
oh its sweet man, if i didn't get you i'd have probably ended up against your bro and ended with the same fate :p
bullies.... :D
Will be down today at 12:30sih if anyones in the hood....
maybe Firday^^ about 4 pm.
Yup, should be able to do that.....Mirror matches?
if you like^^
you can choose from Chun, Ryu, Gief, Ken, Akuma, Guile, Honda, Blanka and SAGAY!!!
but I'm only half decent with Honda and blanka :D just started to learn them recently.
Sweet, start with the characters you'd like practise in.....depends how rich I am, or whether I can beat you.....

Anyone going this arvo?
Yup.....to waste more $$ against your Guile "DAMMIT"....
not this arvo but sometime this evening definitely!
Good games to... Andy! Today. Tight matches. Also good match against Jack's Akuma and DVS too.
Fuck Yifans is gay!!! What you's up too, lets go bitch hunting. My pay came through a week early, and lets make plans on how to spend my last 30 gut.

Andy totally had me for breakfast (Ryu Mirrors)...got excited when I actually won a game...and then saw Gankatron appear on the other side guess he took over at some point during...as Guile would say 'DAMMIT'....
GG's Gankatron -your Rog is a thorn in my side...had a couple of close rounds..but in general was stuck between a balrog and a hardplace (the corner)..... can't run from the Rog forever I guess, I enjoyed those mirror matches too...I kept fucking the Ultra execution after the FADC :-[ ....I'll loose sleep over that I'm sure...haha
Was stunned earlier today by Jack's Akuma dizzy combos....fuck once he gets started it's pretty much over for you....especially if he has Ultra as well....
Had a close match against Simon today too...Vega Vs Guile...that was fun man. You pretty much sussed my Ryu so I'm guna have to think of a way around that before we play next.....
GG's from the whole crew...anyone know who that fulla was who was using Rufus?

His Urien is still a beast.

oh man, i jammed on some strider 2 while i was down there. that game is beast.
LOl thats when clockwork....was beating b4 he form that team ;D
Im geting prety sick of SF4 at yifans. 2 weeks ago i told them the mp button on one of the machines was fucked. Ive told them 3 more times since then. Its a loose connection i think. only works 50% of the time. Its cool, got my money back. Moved to another machine, only to find lp was fucked on THAT machine. Then white jumper guy proceeded to jump on and do nothing but throw/tick throw. Pretty tough for fuerte when he cant tech. Even when what hes doing is retarded levels of obvious.
What annoys me, is he was standing there watching me for ages, and then as soon as i switched machines, he got on and fired out like 400 throws. It might just be th rage talking, but its almost like he KNEW i wouldnt be able to tech his shit, and did it purposely.
Might go back to Marvel at yifans, and just play SF4 at home. Its heaps more reliable, and then at least the timing isnt out of whack.
yeah bro, its like u gotta pick the lucky machine (thats not fucked) like ur playin pokies or sum shit.
I was there yesterday and this dude was going balls deep on the tick throws, it was so predictable but I couldn't tech them.
it was retarded.
nuthin more annoying than joystick/button failure.
gotta get me my xbox gold back.
Probably the same guy on the same machine >_>
Fucking annoying given how terrible he is.

gg's yesterday.
although it made me realize: even tho I've gotten better, so have all of you :(
Jack, you're Akuma is plain scary. I had you whipped first 2 rounds, and then got bitchslapped against the wall the next 3. at least its cool to watch (in masochistic kinda way)
Lenny, I wasn't too concerned when u picked Rufus, until the round started and I ate dive kicks and ultra links. as Blanka I wait for people to make mistakes or bad judgements...you never did. you just forced me to make them.
Mobius, gg's I thought I was doomed as you know all the blanka trickz. just that hard matchup for guile tho. looking forward to a rematch
DVS, your mommas a man and you moonlight as a fluffer in gay porn
that is all.

Ditto 'most' of what Buda laid down, didn't get to fight Lenny's Rufus (would have liked to)pity there are no console characters at Yifans (I know you'll be gunning for a Gen -Ryu rematch)....Jack your Akuma is a rapist, Fong GG's -goddam the Rog rush string shit is real hard to escape...I liked to think they were 'close' matches but really...you were just charging your meter to beast in the 4th or 5th round....
Watched an awesome come back Buda (Ken) Vs Steve (Chun).....Steve never saw that shit coming.....
Buda this will be continue in an endless rival match as it has for years.....I may have you at Yifans, but you beast at home.....I guess playing at Yifans is kinda like having sex with the lights on, and playing at home is like sex with the lights off.....get used to 'fucking' in ever situation grasshopper and you will be dangerous.....
the fuck did the rest of you bastards take off to? me and dave leave for like 2 minutes to grab a drink, and when we get back everyone has run the fuck away.

GGs to Joe today. God Marvel is awesome.
Just had like 8 games against a dude who uses like everybody.....has a shaved head -anyone know him?
he was using Akuma, Bison, Sagat and Viper....left him with two credits, felt that was ample after the Ryu beasting he received.....
He's still down there if anyones keen....he has deep pockets...
he was the dude I was saying was there last week when me matt and mobius were playing and he was smashing the buttons all angry like.
I played him today. whipped his bison, but stupidly lost to his Akuma. he got me with heaps of raging demons.
he did a nice setup whre he'd throw a fireball, when i absorbed it he'd ultra and rape me.
Quite a brown dude?
I beat him using only airthrows with fuerte. Felt pretty bad afterwards.
Ummm, anyone befriended him yet? Would be nice to give the guy some tutorials if your smashing the shit out of him. ;)
nah, he's pretty white.
I thought he was a bit psycho, but he shook my hand and said gg's after. pretty cool fella. he's not entirely shit tho. has a good idea of the game mechanics.
we're just pro as fuck is all ;)
LOL Budsfist,
Yeah, he knows what he's doing...just doesn't have enough patience, doesn't change tactics to suit play styles either.....no idea who his main is, he was chopping and changing every challenge......
If I see him down there I'll extend the hand of friendship.....that doesn't mean I'll go easy tho...Euan taught me never to give seconds....

And fuck you cunt. Youre also gonna get beasted by my ST deejay.
I might come down, finish work at 4 but if traffic was anything like yesterday it'll take almost an hour to get home + i need food after work, so might be there for around 6ish!

It's directly opposite McDonalds on Queen St for those that are lost.
there are directions in the first post. even a link to a brilliant map.
GG coldfirev2 at yifans today. That viper has improved leaps and bounds since i last saw you.
I hate making mistakes like that though. Gah.
Additionally, the dude that found your glasses played me after you left. I let him land shit on me until i was at about 20% health, then went ahead and won the round, and he raged the fuck out of there after one round. I felt bad, but i dont think i actually did anything rageworthy. :(
I guess that Viper has improved since the Giga tournament.... thats when I first saw coldfirev2???
anyways keep it !!!
Anyways WIll be at Yifans today at 4 pm. Hope some will come down and make my life enjoyable for a Friday!!!
We'll be there from 5, see you guys down there.
I'll stay there as long as peeps are still there... if I go down and no one there.. i'll leave!!! hmmp!!!
I'll be there about 4:45. DVS will be round 5:30
just play some DDR till we get there ;)
I got a whole crate of whoop ass (or fail, depending on the opponent)
i be there about 6.20 pm .
parking only $5 all night from 6pm at that car park near gigga so I park up and come down to yiffans .
then im going to gigga at 8pm to meet up with simonfish and whoever else wanna play some sf4
Good times guys. Good times.

Hahahah yeah was good to play you lol so funny at the arcade its more enjoyable then playing on psn especiall when i hear you go shit dammit from the other side of the arcade machines lol. Man after getting a good controller i found it hard using those arcade controls, hahah friday i kept trying to tk cancel and i could barely get them out. You totally wasted me on friday hahah.
Those friday games were hardout i beat a sagat, just. it was very close so much stress on the heart hahha Your Fuerte was pretty hard im too used to fighting ryus and sagats.
GG's on Friday boys, got my arse handed to me more times than I could count by Fongs rapist Balrog, was cool having a Vega Vs Boxer have to do it again....
Stoked that I took out Simonfish's Zangief after I saw him shit on everyone else....I'm used to taking on Kevin's Gief so I'm finally got a game plan against him....
Had a real close match up against Jack's Sagat....next time Jack!
Big ups to Mason..I saw you winner some tough matches too....
GG's all round...
ah bah.... wait for the peeps till so late everytime and my parking was hell.
Wednesday or Friday this week maybe :D
Friday seems like the day for it. I reckon we just officially make it weekly 'beast the nubs at yifans day'
its too sad to see when i get there it was crowded with peeps linning up to play... after an hour I was the only one left. keke
the whole week is 'beast the nubs day' for me.
except Fridays which will be 'get beasted by pro's ' day :(
I need to get back on xbox live and level up. last Friday was depressing.
will be there from 4 pm today till about 5:30
Ill try to get there. No promises.
Well i got there, but you didnt you asshole. :P
Im getting kind of bored playing this at yifans. The comp there is fodder, and i cant play 'proper' fuerte, because i get the monster mash. If i adjust, i win, but i feel i get worse the more i have to play like that.
I think ill exclusively play marvel at yifans. Possibly start dabbling in some TVC/3rd strike/ST. Ill play SF4 when there are decent people there to play. Otherwise im just not gonna bother anymore.
bro, get some 3S going.
I'm going to be in Auckland for a whole week, Saturday onwards so will possibly be lurking in Yifans sporadically, I'll be bringing my pal Necro with me ;D
I also play a 6 day Bison in IV and about 6 other 3S characters... can anyone suggest the best time/day to plop in for some games?
hey moose, there is a bit of a meet up on saturday at gankatron's place, last time i think some of the guys were playing some 3S.. otherwise quite a few people go during weekday lunch times and friday nights.
best bet is to check the auckland meet up thread.
Otherwise the best day for Yifans is Friday from midday til whenever. Usually about 8pm.
But around lunchtime is a good time to go on weekdays. Weekends are pretty crap.
Quote from: moose! on February 10, 2010, 08:45:50 PM
can anyone suggest the best time/day to plop in for some games?
It can really be hit or miss to be honest. The most common times for people to appear is between 12-2pm and from 4-6pm weekdays with Friday being the day with the most potential. But sometimes you will go in and it will just be totally empty (Friday included.) The best idea is to hang around and make sure you are playing the game as most random peeps will only play if someone else is. However the casual competition has moved from 3S to SF4 and the only real players will generally be there on a Friday after work (Simon etc).
im gona try lunch time today... yesterday was dry when i got there -.-
How long did you stay yesterday? I got there at like 4:20 and you werent there.
yeah i was tehre and none was there.. was down ther eat 4:30?? stay till about 10 tio 5 and left as none was there.

Wtf? Thats when i was there.
I be coming in either in the afternoon or bit later on tommorow .
Probably go to giigga for some sf4 too in the evening if anyone else is keen .
I think ill be a giga tonight will have to confirm.
was gonna try head down but the GF had a little car accident so no doubt will be dealing with that this afternoon/this evening!
boo :(
Anyone going to be down at yifans today? Gonna go movies/shopping and eating might call in if people are there.
will be at yifans for awhile from 3ish 4.
I am guessing Hue should be there also as he is back from Vietnam already. But then again he prolyl jaming on SSF4 already on his ps3!!! bastard lol.
Is it out even for dodgey asain copies yet? Anyways see you guys there from 5 onwards.
Hey Andy, Jack mentioned last night you said u have no problems with Sagats on another post and wondered if you will be there today from 5 cos he wants to make it a problem for you lol.
Battle la!
yeah I think its one of those dogy asia leaks... but I haven't confirmed with him yet as I only heard from Simon...
I'll try to stay till 5.. coz I might have to go home before that since my gf always bitch about me staying at arcades too long lawl.
But I would like to play his Sagay as well, I know its a tought match for Ryu but I actually really enjoy playing this matchup after playingother Sagay such as Kevim, Simon, hue, Smoof and many others from Aus. If he can make it a problem for me then its actually better for me since it means I get to learn more. It's only a problem when i keep winning the match up and learning nothing.
Two of the S4 screens aren't working. Hopefully they will be fixed/replaced by this afternoon.
hope someones down there 2nyt so I could get in some practise ;)
just got home from work dammit , are any of use gunna go gigga ? I will come in tonight if so
If youre still there at midnight, thats when i finish work. But i kind of want to get on the piss.

Actually I would like to practice with you mike more :) heard so much about this brodsta's Bison so would like to get some practice from you first xD
Getting my PS3 this weekend!!!! fingers cross :)
beta be andy! oh wait til u face brodstar.... hes way hard than my bison~
and his sagat~ fucking mean pad player lol
His Sagat is good. I reckon Jacks is better though. Mostly because i can beat brodstas sagat but jacks gives me grief.
lol then his Sagay shouldn't be a problem xD as I have no problems with Jack's Sagay :P hohoho
i donno about that... brodstar sagat is very equal to MAGO sagat.

Yifans thread, stick to it.
Fuck ive started a whirlwind >_>
so i take it brodstar not a yiffans guy
it doesn't really matter tbh, from OHN last year, we can tell the results of the players and he was not in the top 8.
Though in saving we can not judge a player from ranking tournaments purely, but personally I think saying he is like Mago seems a bit overated.
I mean I would say he is a highly skill Bison player and would love to learn some matchup, don't ever under estimate your opponent xD
never the less, hope I get my ps3 and you guys can teach me a leasson!!!
I'm seriously thinking about closing this thread since you guys don't get the hint. This is for people who want to meet up at yifans and then posting the results of say meet up.
Not for a discussion of a completely different topic.

And brodsta wasnt top 8 because he is a pad player, and they made him play stick from what ive heard. General consensus from ozhadou is that he is probably top 4 at least. Though none of them go to yifans, so i have yet to ask them.
Youre thinking about closing a 66 page thread, that, despite going off topic, ALWAYS gets back to the topic at hand? If youre that adamant about the trolling, then delete the troll posts. Im sure MOD powers extend further than a 'close thread' button.
ok, on topic.
come to Yifans.... wiiiiiiiiiii
gosh!!!
Anything of topic in this thread will be deleted from now on.
It's easy, stick to the topic or make a new thread.
Just close the thread.
We've got the ability to issue warnings now stu, time to start using it. It's the orange ! next to "report to moderator".
When a user reaches a warning level, either their posts have to be approved by a moderator, or even worse they are not allowed to post at all. I imagine either that will stop people posting trash, or potentially just make the person stop posting altogether. In some cases the latter might be better.
damn, yifans thread getting so nasty
they only have 3 cabs working now :(
n blazblue screens are on invisible mode....
and when the hell do u homos come down?
i always go and feel cool about beasting on scrubs yussss

May or may not have been the CPU.

Joe was in there earlier playing marvel.
I'm finishing work at about 3:30 so hopefully down there around 4:30 - 5pm
Have they updated the TvC inside that cabinet? Is it not just a Wii hooked up in it? Would be nice if they did ;)
Effectively it's a wii using the arcade board, I doubt they're willing to get the UAC board considering how many people give a fuck about this game. I'd like it if they got BBCS before UAC
Oh, so it's not just a hacked wii inside the cabinet. Oh well, seems like Leo's wii will have to do :P
..Leo's wiiny? xDD
Be there at 6.
GG's to Bill, Mike and Damn you Simon >:( haha.

Bro was good seeing you again.. Good to know that someone else is going hard on TVC. lol that makes 3 of us!
Had some fun games of Hyper anniversary. Some dude turned up rocking CE Guile and CE Bison, so i was blatting WW Sim on him. I think he called me cheap or something, I dunno.
And that guy play Simon(Crazymob) was having a great time getting his arse kicked lol. He was havin tons of fun.
Gg's Joe you dirty motherfucker. I'm gonna beast on you with sonson next time.
And good to see all the team down there later on. Good game mike. I'm sure you'll do better against me next time. And fuck angry Ken guy. On paper I should destroy him 99.9% of the time, but for some reason it's really hit and miss with me fighting him. Dave manage to beast him twice, and I ended up getting fucked. I hate this game sometimes.

That Guile dude has been around for ages. He probably thought it was his lucky day as hardly anyone plays Anniversary anymore. But yeah he is cheap. I would have liked to see you whip out a gief against him.
As for 3S yeah that dude wasn't the only one having a good time. Good game that.

I never doubted the fucking rumor list. At the time, there was plenty of unconfirmed stuff on there. And despite how accurate it turned out, the safer option with this shit is always to wait until shit is confirmed.
As for licking your nuts, ill get in line behind leo and yifans.

algud xpunch bro, makes me feel pro to show people stuff haha
I will make a new thread somewhere with regards to Giga gatherings.
popped in for a bit this afternoon. had a few rounds in the game of champions and ryan learnt to not to taunt cable cause he will then shoot your balls off ;D
he then proceeded to annihilate me in every subsequent match.
Hey anyone coming to Yifans today from 5pm onwards?
I might head down depending on when I finish work, if I finish early I'll come down around 4:30 to 5:30! Depends on traffic too D:
I'll be down there from about 4 Pm and leaving just after 5 PM, need to pick my gf from the air port.
Lenny and Euan should be there and heading to Giga after that.
cheers boys , gigga was cool
anything where blazblue was yet? i know they moved blazblue over next to the sf alpha machines, just curious if anything has shown up yet... maybe they play on putting a 3rd set of sf4 machines there.
have they fixed the 4th sf4 machine yet or are they still rocking 3 machines?
3 of the 4 Yifans machines are fuct..... :-\
Timezone has Sf4 for $1.50 a game or 75cents on a Thursdays...according to a semi reliabale source....I'm going to investigate and will confirm...haven't even been down there to check the set up........
^That's just the Thursday TZ deal where you spend $6 or more on a card and you get half price games for the day on that card.
the timezone machine looks terrible .
The electrican at yiffans told me simon and andy that the boards have fucked out and theyre waiting for the parts to come from asia to repair them
gaaaaaay, i was going to go down tomorrow after my first lecture of the year

LOL.. didn't Uni start yesterday -.-
anyways the machines in Yifans really need some maintainence as the stick is ...ewww bad lol.
only one of the machine is fine I think the other two's stick feels stiff xD don't think dirty now.
Anyways hope they fix it soon lor.
They now have two machines up and running........had a some fairly close battles wif some asian dude last night...he was like..."who is this white dude"....haha
I completely agree with every complaint that Will has ever made about those machines. I can't play on the Yifan's machines anymore and I swear it is mad input lag or it's the screen or something. It's like playing on a 2-bar connection at home, I couldn't do anything near a 1-frame link and could barely time an AA shoryuken... I was raging so hard.

It's shit because I'm actually used to that Yifans lag timing now.....grrrrrr, something about the connection between machines or something........you never miss a link online dude (you bastard) ::).....that I know
there is no lag, its just the resolution feels weired as its treched after making the gaphics/ picture looks nicer. I can do the 1 frame link no problems but I have to say their hardware needs to change, sticks and buttons.
+1
SF4 at Yifans has no lag.

I reckon the timing/ feel of it is different than console...but thats just my two cents. It's not a complaint...I quite like how it plays at Yifans.....minus stick issues of course....
I cant do any 1 frame links at yiffans , dunno if its the screens , lag , or the timing ?
so just gave up and do short jab dp now instead if I play there
Or better yet, you go on the beast roll on Anniversary Edition! :D

All you need is FP anyway bro......why do a LP Shoryuken....when can do fierce? they should change all the buttons to FP....problem solved....
Yifans is probably the most laggy out of all the setups we regularly play on (excluding online) and the fucked up ratio doesn't help. That being said, the Yifans setups aren't so bad that they're unplayable.

doing a masters, so I only got 8 hours of class, rest is self study/research/testing, i don't have class monday or friday :p
re: yifans, the sticks are rooted on all but one of the machines. I don't really notice all links, I think I get more links at yifans than at the training sessions actually :(
links are easy in hamilton
The Hamilton is always right

it would be good if they make it the same price as sf4~
Yifans just generally feels quite noticably slower than at home. I dont think its 'lag' exactly, but something is fucking the speed in the ass. Try doing a decent length combo that requires your timing to be tight at home. Master it. Now go to yifans. Youll miss it. A few times id wager. Once you adjust to the timing (and you WILL adjust to the timing.) go home and try it. Youll miss it and have to learn the console timing again.
I hate sitting at home in my downtime and practicing rsf, then deciding to go to yifans, landing a focus attack, being like "OMG TIME TO RSF THIS FOOL" and then cocking it up and losing to angry ken guy (Though admittedly, MOST of my losses to that dude come from retarded inexcusable rubbish on my part). Its the reason why its taken me waaaaaaay longer than it should have to get good at it, because i was constantly adjusting my speed, and shit felt like it wasnt working when it shouldve been. Its not so bad with relatively easy links (Ryu's c.mp, c.mp, c.hk for example), in fact a lot of stuff even feels easier at yifans, since the game feels slower (eg. i find it much easier to land a few reps of rog's ex dash upper loop at yifans)
But im just trying to avoid playing it there as much as i have been, because most of the comp is on consoles, and ALL of the comp will be on consoles for SSF4, so why would i want to get used to a fucked up speed that isnt going to mean anything in the near future?
I used to comment on speed related combo issues even just switching from PS3 to PC often, it definitely takes some getting used to.
I can hybrid between the two pretty quickly now, but doing things like linking into chuns Fierce punch from hazanshu definitely whiffs hard if I've just switched platforms.
Can also confirm several of the arcades I played at in Australia were running a decent bit slower than Japanese Arcades seem to based on their recorded matches.
Arcade platform seems variable based on how it's hosted.

I think the problem with many of you who plays at home and yifans is that you guys practice the combo's at home like 10 zillian times xD?
and get the speed/timing encrypted in your cells.... for people like myself, I don't do that amount of practice nor have it all stuck into me. Its really like a feeling, you know the game speed is slightly different so you adjust to it while you execute the combo. You actually feel the move linking within you and not just follow the speed you are use to. I think that is the problem here?_?

I will bet money that you have practiced this game, AND your combos, 100 times more than i have. On both PC and yifans. Youre used to both speeds better than a lot of us, and thats fine. But everyone adjusts to the timing after a little while, thats not an issue.
But that part about
You actually feel the move linking within you and not just follow the speed you are use to is bullshit. A lot of link timing, particularly for things like RSF, which are based on heavy repetition, are learned through muscle memory. Muscle memory is based on the timing that youre used to. So going from one speed to another WILL throw it out of whack.
Nah Bill, I will bet money Ryu is one of the easiest characters in the game to play.
I mean honestly, his combos include.. FOCUS ATTACK WHICH RELEASES AT THE SPEED OF LIGHT!!! DOUBLE PUNCH!!!! CANCEL INTO SHORYUKEN!!! CANCEL INTO ULTRAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You can just look at the screen and know when to push the buttons for that.... lol.
Only things he has which can potentially whiff are his crouching links I spose? Lmfao, and just mash SRK, you'll be ok :)
The same thing cannot be said for actual TIMING CRITICAL COMBO's such as RSF, and generic 1-2 frame strings.
Not every character in the game is given a large window of input oppurtunity to execute highly damaging combo's.
Just my 2c and why I don't think SFIV is a very good game.
Man I'm feinding to play SF4 atm. I've jumped ship to sim and the character has revitalised my interest in the game.
ANyone gonna be in on Friday? You guys gonna go to giga on friday night?
I never knew combo's were the the indicator of how hard a character is to play :o
timing & combos are always something to practise (on as many platforms as possible)....the main reason I go to yifans is to see the person I'm playing and recreate the compettion vibe (different play styles, people watching, noise, unexpected set ups etc...)...which you don't really get in training mode.....
As far as one character being easier than another due to combos...hmmmmm dunno, each character has pros and cons (ie tier listing).....Ryu is a character everyone is used to playing against, the match up is already well known......in saying that each time I have a mirror match I see people using the same character in completely different ways.....
timing for each character is of course unique.....I really enjoy seeing peoples personalities reflected in character choice and style
Just my rambles....... ::)
...
Obviously when Skullator said 'to play' he meant 'to combo with' >_>
Jeez.
I might be going to stay up at a mates place for a couple weeks.Was gonna check out Yifans(His place isnt that far away...I think) to play some Mahvel or 3s(if they have it)
Now Im scared to walk in because I'll be amongst Pro's and Fightan Game enthusiasts.
Chances are,I'll get destrooooyeed
They have 3S, but not many people there are very good at it.
I doubt i'll be any better.
I just like to play it.HAIPAH BAWM is owesome.
Quote from: Toomeke on March 03, 2010, 03:23:03 PM
I never knew combo's were the the indicator of how hard a character is to play :o
So if a character has easy.. high damage combo's from a very easy lead in (Ryu's amazingly quick focus catching anything really) then it doesn't make the character easier to play at all?
Well allright then.
And lets just put all these things aside shall we? because bitching about them is so 2009 -
his absurdly high priorities, trade meterless ultra, borderline guaranteed ultra per match, Ability to shut you down from every zone on the screen, stamina advatage to weaker\female characters, his ability to mash DP during opponents actual tight frame combo's, amazing low poke (Ryu deserves a better crouching MK than Chun Li JUST BECAUSE MAN!) etc etc,
I could go on..
And sure.. to rephrase.. because it seems very needed-
Ryu is one of the easiest characters to both combo and succeed with, if his difficult links whiff, he is either left borderline completely safe (OH MY GOD MY CROUCHING MK GOT BLOCKED, I'M PRETTY FUCKED NOW) or just at an outright advantage ( HELP! OH MY GOD MY TATSU LINK IS BEING BLOCKED, LOOK AT THE AMAZING CHIP DAMAGE AND 50% CHANCE AT SHORYUKEN OR THROW WHEN I RECOVER FROM THIS!!!)
This isn't exactly new information, Sagat and Ryu are straight up OP by comparison to certain other characters. If you don't think so, you are either oblivious, in denial, or only play said characters and don't want to admit how much of a free ride you get compared to the rest.
I thought you were gonna put all those things aside, 'cos bitching is sooooo 2009?
Hence why I didn't post them initially till called out about saying it, yea?
I'm well and truly over caring about any of it haha, the expansion is almost with us, all I'm doing is posting facts initially intended to help diagnose speed\execution issues between platforms.
Certain characters have it easier than others, which is likely why Will's Fuerte would have more trouble adjusting to a different speed than Andy's Ryu.
I'm inclinded to agree with the slightly fruity You actually feel the move linking within you... thing, and I don't think character selection comes into it. Some players are simply too rigid in their timing and struggle to adjust to a change in playing environment- it shows where some people have huge problems changing between different platforms and setups and others can just sit down at any setup, have a couple of warmups and then go about their biznizzz as usual.

Well, Daigo whiffed his rediculously easy douple punch -> SRK link like there was no tomorrow at Evo09\Most US events since then using the slowest version of the game available (PS3) coming from the fastest version of the game available (Japanese arcade)
Good enough for me to go by, because I hear that guys execution is decent :D
But hey.. that could always be advanced headgames eh? lol
And of course you are right, certain players will have a more difficult time adapting than others.. thats human nature. And warmups help immensly, warming up against Jacksmash's Sagat at nationals last year is what got me sent to losers immediately hahaha. I'd been in welly turning 21 the whole week prior ;D
But still.. Ryu's frame windows are alot wider than, lets say chuns.. and alot safer.. so imo character select does come into it, just saying.
Oh and obligatory- Chun is not easy in third strike, learn to use footsies idiot! Gosh!!! (Had to do it, you get the point)
Ilu both <3
WTF WHERE DID THEY GO?!?! lol
Ryu is not easy to use, yes you can use him to a certain degree and find it easier but to get any better than the average you will have to know more than just oh.. easy combo or focus atk frame etc... A char's performance depends on teh player who uses them, in all honesty I find Chun so much easier to use against many other class which I have problems with using Ryu, reason being is teh different types of moves and play style I have with Chun and Ryu. This is just for example as stated every char has their pros and cons so you as a player you need to adjust to each gameplay/situation. the more you say WTF, its when you lose all confidence in execution and will fail everytime.
Bill,
you tell me its a load of crap that I don't do much practice? well anyways I don't :) I just PLAY the game as that IS my practice. Actually using them in real combat games and not against some standing AI which is not really intelligent.. xD
This pushes you NOT to miss as if you do, u lose, simple. Get a feel of the game and not the feel of your fingers/hands movements. Without feeling and sense of the game, you play like a robot.
Zosla still talking that ish mayn. My ps3 is broke so dont play anymore, plus i got heaps of important uni shit like lv 1 maths lol. Its hard if you drink all day every day and try to bang every chick here lol.
besides everyone knowws SAGAT is teh hardest to use, real talk ya feel me.

Thats practice. Its not training mode, but i didnt say anything about training mode. But i would say the amount of time and effort you have put into mastering your gameplay and combos (whether its a real match OR in training mode) is a lot higher than the amount ive put in. And it shows in how good you are. I wasn't aiming to insult you, i just think your time/effort gauge is a little off.
As for feeling the game, i agree completely. But i think about 'playing the game' and 'doing a combo' as 2 different things. They eventually blend into one, but the actual act of 'learning' to combo something is a rigid and repetative process. What you think is 'feeling the combo within you' is actually your muscle memory kicking in and remembering what it is youre trying to do.
I think we have our wires crossed again, and we are actually talking about the same thing, and we're arguing because we're each wording it differently. Fuck we always do this. :P Internet conversations are hard.
Man, how come Hamilton can't have Hyper Fighting. So jealous of Yifans :'(

You're prolly right, I just talking about things base on my personal experience and knowledge. I don't relaly put those scientific facts into considerations xD
Wow another pointless argument has arisen in the NZism forums, and members have started taking written text on the interrnet as a personal affront!!! Who would have this could happen here!?! /Sarcasm
I think Moose summed this up well with his post eluding to the fact that people around the world are different, and that where some may struggle with one aspect, others may excel.
However, take this crap to the Street Fighter IV thread if you guys wan't to "debate" it further. Anything else contributing to this argument in this thread will be deleted/modified.
Have a nice day :-)

Those were not posts.
I should make "The Generic Off-Topic Argument Thread"
And just copy and paste all the off topic shit so we can argue about it there.
Also, gg's to crazymobius from yesterday. Some fucking Weeeeiiiiiirrrd shit going on in that match.
ie.
Fuerte goes for a f.mk on wake up. -> Guile ultras. -> Fuerte gets hit by the first part, and then passes through guile as the rest of the ultra whiffs. O_o
Fuerte wall jumps. -> Guile Ultras -> Fuerte airthrows guile and beats his ultra.
If im jumping, and someone ultras, im going to mash airthrow from now on. That shit was so awesome.

Might be some of those Tekken dudes....they're starting to migrate over to SF4...played a few couple weeks back.....also saw some old third strikers having a jam late Friday arvo two weeks back...had a 2-3hr jam against this asian dude -really close battles (Ryu Mirrors + Ryu Vega), he had good excution too...think we were about 6 games each when he finally won back again and I had to cruise.....dude was like - white dudes arn't supposed to be that good....haha

There are, and i suppose it is kind of naive. Im all for helping level up the newer dudes, and yifans is great for that, but i DONT enjoy scrub bashing. And thats what a lot of matches at yifans end up being. I would rather get reamed by most of our guys and learn something personally.
Im sure me saying that annoys you, and fair enough i guess. I know i have an unrealistically high opinion of myself that i need to get over, but the majority of the people i end up playing at yifans i cant learn anything from. And thats the problem i have with the comp there. Its great when (like today) i do get to see some genuinely good new blood.
I thirst for blood... yum.
I'll probably head down around lunch time to see whats cracking, max an hour though, I got lots of uni shit to get done. haha :(
HEHE ...i will be down on Monday ....(*__*) still long way to go...
My Hand getting Itchy looong time didnt play .....
Anyone ? MVC2 /KOF 98 UM ....old school game........ :-X :-[

I agree.
trouble is, the competition is too weak when the crew aint there,
and too strong when they are.
it gets expensive for me when nzism is reppin at yifans
I guess its karma for all the scrub bashing I do in the mornings.
Yeah I know what you mean.
Earlier today I was messing around with Chun, guy jumps on with sagat and 3-0's me, so I pick balrog since I can (half) play him and beat his sagat x 2, zangief x 2. Then someone from Nzism (ad-remix?) jumps on and beats me (that said it was pretty close, I gotta remember I can't overhead -> c.lk against guile as balrog D: )
overhead c.mp headbutt works good against guile just the timing is a bit harder than using c.lk. the way i used it is when rogs foot hits the ground after overhead than push c.mp i practised it a few times in training mode.
might pop down later in the afternoon, anyone there?
I might come down around 4pm.
lol yo rorooze, beasting on sagat scrubs.....NICE ;D
haha aw man, i was just lucky and won....but i might be there later 2nite, if anyone wants to eat some SONIC BROOMS :P

mason discovered the power ryu in 3S today :D he hits like a truck and akuma has the stamina of a wet paper bag. also played some red haired guy at marvel. seems pretty new to the game but he kinda had an idea on how to play. me playing scrubclops probably didnt help
Be down there this arvo, probably 1:30 til 3 ish. And then again at 6 when i finish work.

Bro, nothing any worse than what my normal games are. Just call it an epiphany.
I didnt actually lose much. Manage to plow thorough a few ok ryu players, and scrubbed a few wins on Hue's viper, but it was just really really ugly. I know my shit, and my execution is good, but i ACTUALLY dont know how to play properly.

Hue I think our training on tuesday night paid off!!! 1xxx games ryu vs ryu + 1xxx akuma vs viper + the odd Chun/ Sakura vs viper.
btw, buy you dinner this wekeend la!!!
bill your elf is a mixed bag, you were fucking on fire tonight though!!
Lol. When Im on form it's awesome, but when I fail (most of the time) it's lolterribad. But yea. Today was great. I'll be happy if I play half as well as that at the ranbats tomorrow.

I've never landed that many RSF's before ever. It was loltimes. Just goes to show that when fuerte can actually get some decent damage on the opponent, he can rectally destroy people just like any other char.
Bill I want you to teach me the ways of the Mexican chef. See you at Giga tonight.
I'm pretty sure bill did FA -> rsf x 6 -> sweep on me :(

Ooooh bro. Welcome to the greatest (sf4) experience of your life.
Anyone keen for some Giga tonight?
I was wondering if anything was happening tonight! What time you thinking Fong?
Me thinks about 7 at Giga bro. I think U man is keen so far also, hopefully we can get some more. Both Jay's missed out on the Ranbats last week so hopefully they ll be keen too?
Hey guys I'll be there at Giga tonight - if its on like Donkey Kong! Got my stick in the car so I'll shoot down straight after work.
I'm free from about 3ish till 7ish, got a party to go to for about 8ish. If anyone wants to head in earlier I'd be well keen!
I'll see if I can head pass, or migth just appear about 9 ish as usual :)
Was playing some pretty decent asian guys yesterday and I picked Rufus and I was so on point. Got an 8 win streak which was awesome. I was somehow playing footsies pretty well imo. And wasn't dropping many links. I hit c.lk, c.lp, lp, lp, mp pretty much every time.
Oh yeah and I did a no health midscreen dive kick, lk, hp, tornado, ultra on Balrog as a finisher in one game. EPIC
Ill be at yifans from about 6pm-7:30 Wont be at giga though.
Hey when you go to Giga do you need to bring your own game and console? How does that work? As I only have a PS3 stick.
Might pop into Yifans first for a jam around 6:30ish (may see you there Bill) then head over to Giga after that.
Im hanging out for some SF4 after my 2 year old daughter screwed up the loading mechanism on my PS3 - shouldve had it in a higher place.
I ll bring both my sticks bro so we re good. It ll be on xbox.
Sweet as coffin. I think U-man's hitting yifans up before giga as well, though im not sure.
Awww bro. You might even get to experience angry ken guy.

Cool cheers Fong I'll rock up to Giga after 7:30 - 8ish catch up then.
I might actually not make it tonight. Having some beers after work.
opoing into yifans about 3 ish if not one there ill go home.
I'll head to yifans around 5 pm and stay till about 7 unless you cats wanna hit giga earlier!
Did anyone actually end up going to Giga on Friday - popped in at 7:30 and no one was there.
A few of us were still at Yifans around 7pm, Fong and some of the guys left for a feed then I assume they went to Giga :o
will there about 12:30
Theyre using a non-standard shaft on the 1P side. The balltop doesnt fit properly >_>
christ, does yifan's have ANY proper setups?
Marvel is pretty good.
yeah, the stick is ghay lol.... it keeps falling off ffs!!!
gutted losing my money cant even play properly....
Back up to 4 machines.
Too bad i started playing on Xbox again, and so now i cant RSF at yifans properly. >_>
Slower gameplay breaks the rhythm, which is fine for normal links etc, but DEATH for RSF. If im used to PS3 timing, its all good, but if im used to xbox timing, that shit aint happening. Bleh. Im gonna have to learn to adjust it on the fly. CROSS CONSOLE TRAINING MODE...AWAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYY
yay 4 machines !!!!! see you all there after work tommorow !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YEAH BOI!
What time is everyone heading down today?
Fuck we should just giga that shit up.
im gunna go round to jacks to get him soon then down to yiffans
ill go home first after work, take a shower and get a change of cloths....
will need to head back out to work and lock up about 6 ish so will be in town before or after then.
see u guys whereever laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
BONERTIME
Heading there today after work for a bit. Was there this morning, and the MP on one of the machines is fucked. Works 50-60% of the time.
That button has been like that since BEFORE the machines were broken. Ive complained about it to the tech dudes on 6 different occasions now. Nice Job yifans.
will be there today about 12:30 1 pm if anyone is there :)
GG to Simonfish...I had no idea who I was playing against until the end......sneaky Muai Thai warrior.....was stoked that my Vega didn't actually do too bad.....I feel sorry for those fullas down there now... :P
get yifan to get 4x ps3 and link them up into those cabs for ssf4 :)
That would be awesome......use your contacts Zolsa put in the good word ;)

Keep an eye out for an old white bogan dude playing 3s and maybe SF4 from today until Sunday. He will probably be in there afternoons.
Can't say who he will be using, Dudley possibly.
Chuckk we have our ssf4 ranbats at giga on friday night. We usually play some casuals on the side, and 3s is a pretty popular choice. You should roll up.

today I put in $1 and got 1 credit, and I thought that maybe it was a glitch and was feeling good about getting a half price game
Smoof made my day lol.
Today at yifan, he's using dictator vs some ryu.
Final round, ryu got heaps of health, smoof got health for maybe 4-5 hadoken block,
then ryu did a slow hadoken full screen away, it basically went like this.
I duno, this clip pops up in my mind the very moment it happened..........
Oh btw before smoof kills me, he was distracted by a phone call,
and i just, can't..........re..........sist...........
ROFL
Also i should point out its just $1 per game. Not $2 for 3 games.
Hahahahaha so sad to me.

GG's to Andy today...
Is mean to see the Streeties machines packed and heaps of new players and watchers......I had to actually put my coin up and wait for a game
Was stoked to squeeze a win out from your Chunners Andy...but fuck it was tense...gotta watch my nerves had a few op's to land the Ultra but botched it.....wish I had a bit more time to try that Ryu mirror out again...maybe tomorrow
Anyone else be down there at 12:20ish tomorrow? Well worth the visit...loads of people playing....
yifans makes me feel cool, cos i can get 6+ streak with guile
then i dont hate this game as much......

what can I say, hmm... there are quiet a lot of people in yifans these days... but not many good players. Before therewas always Ben, James, Simon, Simonfish, Hue, Richard(GuileGuy), Kevin and Jack, Fong down there.... quality is more important than quantity I guess but then we need new blood :)
When I go there at lunch time its like usually wiping them clean and make them run away for teh day...
It seems to me like demand for BB is going up as well, despite the lack of CS-ness.

If it's boring using Sagat it's your own fault dude...choose a weaker character and make it a challenge for yourself....
I seriously need to go down at the right times. All I get to play are shit people when I'm down there.

Dude... the gayness in that comment is overwhelming. You never ever ever admit to another dude being "good looking".. It's like one of the ten commandments of manliness.
"Not quite as good looking as me" could mean really ugly. Kinda like if Gino said it.
HAHHA.. u guys got no sense of humor at all!!!
anyways, might pop into Yifans for a few games today again since I don't get to play at home nowdays ><

Will be down tomorrow at around about that time.....ran outta time today, had to head back to work -I'm sure you guys took out the gutter trash after I left anyway
GG to Devilstar yesterday....that's the first win I've actually earned off you without you giving me a round.....got real lucky with the escape tastu then Ultra in the 5th
Would love to see some old faces down there if anyone's in town
I went to buy Tekken 6 ^^
I won't be down today... maybe friday lunch time.
So I lied.. I went to Yifans today hahaha.
quiet a few people down today incl Hue and Cody.

Yea not just once but twice eh.....I think I even managed to squeeze a win outta ya, whats up with that? :-\
what's the crowd like on a friday after 5pm? thinking of having a few after work...
There are people hitting up giga for some pre 3v3 practice. You'd be better off hitting that shit up. But after 5 on a Friday isn't a BAD time to go to yifans. Only trouble is the setups are garbage and you will slaughter the competition.
doh, he freaking random the shit outa me!!! thats what lol.
oh and that win u got wasn't me playing ahha, it was HUE!!! I took the last round tho :P

Too true, I'll try again tomorrow........still I managed to get a round off you with Vega...not too bad....
My Ryu was sloppy today.....
ahh, right sloppy :( guess when ur much better u can pretty much pwn me ><
today? I can not^^ weather is gay.. maybe Friday u can show me some new tricks with Ryu?
chur chur.
Haha My losses were pretty funny though. Most of those rounds came down to last hits, and then i went for something dumb and obvious. Missed throw techs. Failed RSF's. Thats the Yifans factor
hehe better luck next time^^
actually if it turns out to not rain I might consider going again today... not much work^^
Does anyone still play 3S down there?
whats 3S? LOL :P
I would go down after work if I knew people would be there... I wanna play more 3S

It's this game that came out before i had hairs on my balls. Now i got different chicks pubes tangled in there and people are still playing it.
Still cool game though.

I won't take it that far :P I usually only win rounds against you when I'm doing random stuff........got a sneaky super finish in the fourth but squandered my bars at the same time for the 5th round....I need more practise with that cross up hurricane, I'll be down on Friday for some lessons Andy...
I was more worried about that Asian dudes Viper.....holly shit, I lost count of how many times I ate burning kicks and Ultras...geez :-[
haha I am joiking :)
Viper? hmm just be patient and watch the opening. One ultra combo = GG for her.
u did too much random stuff and scared to approach her... u got out minded :)
anyways overall the viper player was pretty good, better than most of the players there, but u can not compare his Viper with Hue's.
different lvl totally and I play him a lot.

Hopefully he's down there tomorrow so I can get a rematch......

@Crazymobious

@DVS
your Ryu... you run away too much and get cornered... and ur gg, u dont iniate enuff and put the pressure on, u try to zone, but u can't...so in the end u got pressured which caused u the game.
Your claw... well its also run away, but thats how u play claw, u get teh dmg and out u go, plus claw matchup is different than Ryu's which EVERYONE knows how to deal with... unless your Ryu has something different or special its a lot harder to win with Ryu than other chars.
wheres that angry ken guy these days?
I want to play him :)
I could never beat him when he use to play :(

Shit, you got me...runaway is my game plan all of the time ;D
My zonings not that bad......but like you said I need more ground game, I've been working on footies. I guess I need to be more anchored - most of the time I get hit is when I'm doing unsafe jumps back or throwing out random hurricanes, I've also got into the habit of wasting my meter lately -which I need to get out of. But each to their own eh, every Ryu player has a different style.
Vanilla claw is weak as fuck :P....but I enjoy the challenge, it's more of a novelty game. In Super he's good enough to actually challenge players -his GG is much stronger and links into his EX wall dive are easier to connect.....I also find the input for his wall throw much easier....which gives me mix up options other than cross up......oh and the fact that he doesn't die after two combos...haha
@DVS
just giving u my advice from what I see ur gameplay is, of course we all have our own style.
who says claw is weak in vinilla? have you tried Simonfish claw? guess u havent if u say something like that, SF4 is more than just dmg and combos, tho its a big factor but cant always garentee a win.
@wong
which angry Ken? the ones that shake teh machine and ask for seconds when he loses?
or Nathen the guy that is pretty good with ken and always have a cap and bag on?
Quote from: zosla on August 06, 2010, 11:04:47 AM

Everyone.
You can PLAY a character well, but from a technical standpoint, some characters are a lot weaker than others. Vanilla Claw is one of them.

Nah not nathan. The white guy that used to play down there. I remember he once busted out a 3 foot mash EX DP. Note that this is NOT the extremely loud white guy that plays 3s.

Yea I know bro :) I appreciate the advice.
No but I'd like to........Vanilla claw is pretty weak tho stamina wise - ditto Birry Wong
Your preaching to the converted....Super is a perfected version, I think damage wise it's very fair.
I am not judging the character by technical perspective only but more of an overall combination of player and char.
Anyways no use getting into a debate with this, come to yifan and show me :)

Lol a LOT of people played Ken in that game! Simon and JDG were the only Ken players that weren't very predictable. As far as Kevin and Simon they are either taking the piss or being humble as they beat me a lot more than I beat them. Bloody good games though.
oh damn.... then I might just do ok... but then again I will prolly choke and suck anyways.

Will be going to Yifans now for some 3s if anyone game.
want find someone practise 3rd strike on Friday after 3pm
I will pop in Friday after 4pm for about 30 minutes.
Side note played 3S yesterday and it was Amazing! I forgot how good that game was.
will be in at lunch today.
Will prob be down after work again at 4:05 (or there abouts today) for 3S. If anyone down.
I might stay a bit after work if I have dinner in town :)
come down people at 12:30 pm :D give me some challenge la.
I was there but nobody else was. Will be there at 4:05 or so.
yup, I was tehre and didnt see anyone so I left..
Anyways will be heading down at 3:30 ish till about 5:30
GGS today to Mason and Chun Li dude. Strange I think my delayed timing has started to affect 3S!
GGs Simon. Sorry about my constant scrubbyness and turtling. Still don't know what to do half the time lol. Also not really liking the control setup, since I've been doing a little bit of practice on my TE on PC and I also feel like there's a different lag timing there, than at home :(
Also, damn you Andy for beating me in Vanilla SF4 in an Akuma mirror.
AHHAHAHA, love the DEMOn :P ? thats soo funny hahaha.
to be honest, I learnt most of my Shenigans from you lol, coz they look cool :D
we need to do this mirrior more :)
Yeah lol. Also I'm almost certain that demon you did on me doesn't work in super anymore, so i've kinda thrown it right out. Neither me or Jack have managed to land it on eachother, but you did get a cr.jab in before it lol.
ah really? anyways It was a fluke!!! hahaha
anyways im gona be down at yifans at lunch today so hope to see more peeps there^^
Will be in about 12:30 ish :)
see whoever is there!!!
Gonna head down to yifans around 330 for some 3rd strike practice hopefully some people turn up ;D
I would but I gotta go home before setting off again to ranbats tonight.

Man that traffic is gonna be mental for me driving in as.
White Jacket dude racked up 40 wins yesterday with E.Honda?
Anyone want any last minute 3s practice before Nats I'll check down there at 4pm.
40 wins? Really? Fuck. It just goes to show that yifans isnt exactly the hub of street fighter talent it once was.
lol... i went down today and foudn a Ryu with 14 wins... so I challenge him with and realize this guy have been beating scrubs...
Yifans was epic today. Had some good games of vanilla SF4 with Hue and Makron, some 3s with smoof and some awesome marvel with Ioane. Add him to my list of raging demon kills. I think that includes Stu and Graham :D Some really close games there with some awesome akuma comebacks. And your crazy juggernaut mash. That one where we had doom vs no health akuma was crazy. He went to chip with flying purple shit but I teleported through it, then we had a crazy battle in the air and I jumped up when I won lol. I get a bit hype at Yifans sometimes lol.
I hope you can do a lot better than today when we have our MM Mason, coz we won't be using your monitor this time. ^_^ and I'm going to murder you for real this time. Hehehe....
I thought you had the solution to any level of lag \ any monitor you played on Hue? It shouldn't matter to you bro :P
But ya, Vanilla SFIV on Yifans setups shouldn't really be compared to Super on good ones hahaha.
But good on you for building the hype! Should be one to watch!

Apparently that solution doesn't work very well when I have to defend/tech throw :D. Maybe we can find out whether my solution work on you or not :D, I don't mind doing 2 MM in a day ^_^

Yeh $50 sounds good, Chun vs C.Viper.
i've never said anything about using Viper right? It's MM, so it's obvious that I wanna win with better char. ^_^. Unless u don't mind doing Viper mirror. ^_^
You're the better player? So I don't see why you would be afraid to pick your main against me. You offered Mason Viper vs Akuma, and thats a MM right?
Chun vs Viper was 7-3 to viper in vanilla, and is 6-4 to viper in super. Ryu was supposedly 5-5.. but I will admit I struggle more with that matchup.
But in any case, I wouldn't money match your Ryu purely because that is a matchup that sends me to sleep. Ryu's lp shoryuken almost made me quit SFIV during vanilla.
Your choice, pick your main or call it off.

I've never announced that Viper is my main. Ryu/Viper/Juri are all my main. ^_^ And No no.... don't say that i'm the better player, when it's come to MM, everyone should play fair and square, no handicap. The reason that I don't wanna use Viper against certain players ops... i mean characters is that I can't really punish spammers. So Ryu has better option when it comes to punishing. ^_^ but then again, who said i'm gonna use Ryu. I can use whatever char i want to as long as i feel comfortable with those. and the same goes for you & Mason & everyone else, fair and square ^_^
Quote from: Cr8zyK1LL3r on August 18, 2010, 11:32:05 PM

You're lying Hue.
I main Viper now coz many people said Ryu is retardly easy to use and Viper is the hardest character to use. And easy character to use seems to have higher winning chance.
I tried to explain that it doesn't work like that and tier list does matter at highest level but at our level it doesn't effect as much as we think and all I've got was a "NO NO".
So I've decided to use Viper to prove my words and secondary, to BBQ all the haters.

No Hue. Fact of the matter is, you offered mason a character locked MM, and you refuse to do the same against me.
QuoteAkuma vs Viper or any character vs any. Since I'm quite a generous person, I will let you decide. ^_^
I guess your generousity certainly knows it's bounds!
I refuse to do a non character locked MM against you. I subscribe to one character, till death. And it looks like you decline a MM with those rules, so I guess we need to look elsewhere.
A shame, I would of loved to play you, it's always a pleasure..
ops.... i did say that.... sorry ^_^
But yeah, If you wanna MM 1 char locked, I'm perfectly fine with it. Let's do chun vs Ryu then :D
As stated, that matchup bores me and I don't enjoy playing it. I'm not paying money to do something I don't enjoy.
This confuses me alot, the matchup is 6-4 in vipers favour.. I guess you don't like not having alot of Chun's to practice on or something?
Edit: You know there is only a few viper in NZ too right =\
I'm not exactly an expert or anything.. lol.
so what now ?? lol... you said u want 1 char locked, i said okay. And now you decide what char i have to use ?? what's next ?? Am i allowed to use ex/ultra ?? I'm pretty sick of repeating my explanation. The reason that I wanna use Ryu > Viper IS THAT Ryu has better options to punish spammers with his dp. And no, this is not an opening for another frame/moves/priority discussion lol. It's just how I love to play the game. ^_^
Now let me make this clear,
If you don't want me to use Ryu. That's fine. I will accept your condition IF you accept my condition that is you are not using Chun-li.
And If you want me to use Viper, That's fine. I will accept your condition IF you accept my condition that you have to do Viper mirror.
Now do u find this ridiculous setting up rules for your opponent in a MM?
If you don't wanna MM, just say so and stop wasting our time.
I wouldn't pick the rules for you Hue, I agree with you that is stupid.
All I did was assume you would pick your main against mine, as from what I had read you had stated her as your main.
Remember, at an event where you are character locked, you won't be able to avoid it lol.
today is the day I found your weakness as a player Hue. You have no confidence in some of the chars you pick.
And you're calling my Chun a spammer? Haha nah, Ryu is the spam character, fireball or SRK mash, you name it.
No MM then, not because I don't want to, but because we both cannot agree on the conditions. Perhaps if I played more than 1 character, we wouldn't have this problem, so for that I apologize.
Good luck finding some more MM's. I am hoping to get at least one in myself.

If i have to attend an event where all my matches are against chun-li, i will just pick Ryu.
And yes, I don't have much confidence in Viper coz she isn't as solid as certain characters, I just pick her coz she's more fun to use as i get to press 3 times the buttons compare to other players. I would say that I'm being smart for knowing her weakness and knowing where to stop with my characters. I Don't know why you think it's a weakness though, being ignorance and not recognizing our character weakness is the weakness.
ah well..... wasting the whole hour for nothing lol.... time to sleep..... gonna be very busy tmr, too many tests + Assignments to do for next week.......... I just wish that I could turn up on the National day and finish all my matches in 30 mins and then go home to study....... sigh....... look like i'm going to the National with my lecture's notes.

The matchup is 6-4 to viper. Simply put it's not her weakness, it's yours.
I would certainly never ever call Chun Li a handicap, but you called your Viper one =\ No big deal it just shows our differences as SFIV players.
Good luck on all your assignments, I know ScribbleART is bogged down with like 4 assesments this week too.. bad timing lol.
i'll money match you skull first to 5 $30 if your keen can character lock it if you want i don't mind i'll be using sim
Sweet bro, keen as.
If I win I'm buying you dinner though ;]
You coming Skycity?
lol..
um just to correct something.
Hue have always been maining Ryu.. it was his first character he used in Vinilla and stayed with till near teh end when he swap to Viper as people bitch about Ryu being top tier blah blah blha. He showed perple that its no tier that matters, now he knows the pros and cons of both char and uses them depending on his opponent and how he feels at that particular time.
SO you can't really char lock when it comes to like MM, unless both sides agree. which in this case its not.
Why dun you both just pick ur secondary makoto vs Juri or something :)
Well Andy, he did say C.Viper was his main. Silly me for thinking that!
And lol @ Makoto in a money match :D Maybe next year lol.
All this is irelevant.
The real Hype is Birry Wong vs. ZosLenny $10 MM Last Blade 2.
All you scrubs just don't know.
P.S.: Birry Wong has a small willy. And his Last Blade 2 skills remind me of his mums vagina.... low tier!

Fuck there is a lot of stupid bitching around these money matches.
If you want to mm, that's fine. Call someone out.
If they want to add conditions, there's nothing wrong with that.
If you don't accept someone's conditions, just say no and shut the fuck up.

I love that you STILL don't understand what the tier argument was about. Of COURSE a hood player can win with any character. That's common sense. It's just much harder to do so with a lower tier (weaker) character. All Hue proved when he switched to viper was that he is a manly beast. Tiers still matter. An they will always matter.
I don't care^^ lol. DONE!!!~~

Stopped they must be, on this all depends. Only a fully trained street fighter, with the yomis as his ally, will conquer tick throwing and laggy monitors. If you end your training now, if you choose the quick and easy path of animal kaiser, you won't become the next BIRRY WONG.

Don't listen to them, Lenny. If it were Facebook, I'd "like" your comment. :D
I'd like Rorooze's comment probably.
I guess I'm just a sucker for Star Wars references.

GG's today Zolsa.....taking on anyone with Vega is a challenge.....but Sagay..geez......was emotionally broken fate loosing after being up two rounds wif Ryu......like Guile sez...."Dammit!"
Also good games to that Rufus fulla...he's gotten heaps better.......sucks that I lost that 5th round after landing a sweet 17 combo......damage scaling can eat me :P
Rufus has only improved due to me teaching him imo ;D

Yeah GG's DVS, stoked to finally be getting some wins vs you ;D
I think I play much better when I don't know it's you on the other side of the screen though. As soon as evenflow told me you were playing the nerves kicked in and I started doing stupid shit. Landed some lucky launcher Ultras that got me through, thankfully.
And then some random Vega Fulla had to come and own me up out of spite, what's up with that? Got no idea how to deal with him - was just praying to land a jumping RH :-\. Time to start learning that match up.
GG la,
I finish my haircut so went down for a few games lul.
Sagay??? I don't think I was using Sagay yesterday? or you mean teh other asian dude that was next to me? anyways ain't many good players lately, only had 3 games with Cody yesterday and that was a bout it... Hue have been busy with Uni and Kevin only comes down every few day. But we do have alot of avergage players in yifans... should really ask them to join forum as they play EVERYDAY there, its like every lunch time I head down and the same 4-5 guys are there playing.
Yeah and they're not getting much better. That viper dude's not bad though.
tell them to come to ranbats la.
nah.. they look scary ><
coz after I beat them... and tell them bro come to training... its such a put down :(
meh, dunno xD

Haha...yeah I have to admit when I don't know who I'm playing I usually hold my nerves too......full creds though Bro your Rufus has improoved and your hitting your links more often.
The random Vega was me too..... ;) He's a character that not many people use so he does have a surprize factor, but once you figure him out you'll have him sorted. He's much stronger in Super.....way more dangerous. Buda and Rorooze hate my Vega......
After you left that random business Akuma spend like $10 trying to beat me...was pretty funny....... 8)

Well yeah I'm one of those guys... I come down with Mokes and evenflow. I joined the forum, but never have reason to post because well I'm pretty average.
You guys should seriously check out the ranbats we have every fortnight on Friday nights, get lots of casual games in and a sweet way to get feedback on your game.
I'm pretty average also so don't worry about that :D check out the auckland part of the forum!

Must get annoying for all the yifans pros to have these god damn average people constantly down there
everyday being all average and stuff. We need to hurry up and level up our game before we bring auckland's arcade scene reputation down !
:-X
Hahaha oh Yifans
Its all relative, your average compared to some of the top guys in NZ but then they're average compared to the guys overseas. Get all your boys on the forums bro and join the ranbats that happens every fortnight, they're all more than happy to help you improve your game by sharing advice etc, vice versa.
The community is much bigger than what goes down at Yifans.
Are you guys those island dudes i see playing pretty regularly?
Im the loud white guy that plays El Fuerte and complains lots.
Common phrases of mine are "I CANT BELIEVE I LOST TO THAT FUCKING SCRUB"
Or "WHY IS THIS SHITTY RYU BEATING ME?"
Its nothing personal. Im just a big fucking sook.
TBH the people that play at yifans regularly are fine. The only thing holding anyone back is that there just arent that many hardcore regulars that play it anymore. Theres still quite a few decent people i see down there from time to time, and its actually getting a lot better now 'skill-wise' than it was a few months ago.
Half of our posts in this thread seem like we're elitists with our heads stuck up our own asses. Mine especially. Im not though. Im just a whiney little bitch.
Come say hi if you see me down there. White dude. El Fuerte. I can pretty much guarantee im the only one playing him. (And bitching about how laggy the monitors are)

I wouldn't say so. When it comes to the arcade scene having ANY players is better than no players. And nobody is judging Auckland's arcade scene reputation except from those that are a part of it anyhoo.

This post is definitely the most accurate.
It's not like the average players down there don't know they're average. Then we come here and people are complaining "oh shit games today everyone is trash down there". It isn't a huge motivation to get into the scene. A scene makes itself and if people are publicly berated before they join it doesn't help. Or even after they join it, unless its in jest that both parties can understand.
I myself have only started playing recently (having never ever played fighting games in my life before, literally, well past mashing a few buttons once every few years with mates.) But I do come from a competitive gaming background so do understand the way competitive communities work, especially when you start getting to the higher levels of a community. So while the posts may not effect me the same, it definitely does detract from the experience for some people.

I think that was his point :D
evenflow / mokes .. names I recognise from UT ... same folk ?
Opps, I think my post stirred shit up again :D
anyhoo!!!!
What I am ment was that those players in Yifans should join the community as they have the same passion as we do, with some training and inputs from the others will make them improve vastly, thats how we need to grow.

I can't quite pinpoint your name in my memory, when did you use to play? :)
Oh shit I thought it was you when I saw the name. WCG UT Bronze Medallist in 2002. Epic shit.
xk = xenkronos.

Cool to see you playing SF. I'll stop by yifans sometime for a game or two.
What those that are playing at Yifans don't realise is that they are already part of the community by simply playing there.
I'm all for new blood down at yifans - it's better having someone to play against rather than the machine. ;)
Full creds to anyone putting dollars into those machines and coming down at lunch time......few months back people would just watch and not put any coin in......
It's good to know there are more people out there that are addicted to hadoukens.......

Isn't it WCG time again soon? I wish they still had proper competitive fps dueling there haha.
This topic now makes me feel like an asshole.
My head is hung.
In shame.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR
cheers mason!
Yesterday was funtimes. GGs Rory, Fong and everyone else. I lold when Rorooze was mashing and accidentally picked Abel so I gave him a dollar and took his Abel, then he accidentally picked Bison haha. Fong is just too beast with Rog, I wanna start a vortex but I just can't knock you down.
Mason.... he plays an akuma player day and night, you can expect atleast that much lol

Nah don't... the responses from yourself and others are very encouraging. I know I feel better about challenging folks and talking to familiar faces down there now. Haven't seen any El Fuerte yet so I'm guessing I haven't run into you yet Birry...
Simonfish took me apart today but he didn't annihilate me like he could've. Seems like a nice guy!
I dunno about Ranbats though - I'm picturing some pretty pro players even on the casual set up. I gotta get my twitchy Ultras under control first :P Are all 3 setups Xbox?
Yeh all our events are Xbox driven these days.
Don't worry about twitchy ultra's, everyone's been there. Should try catch as many ranbats as possible regardless imo, the skill level is pretty broad and they're the best place to level up as people are always willing to give tips and generally just speak the SF lingo with ya.
Definitely best place to level up. And don't worry too much about twitchy ultras, just call it mind games or yomis. lol :D
Gonna have to chime in and say come to ranbats eh. Theyre by far the best place to improve. Dont let the fact that theyre 'ranbats' put you off. 90% of it is just us jamming out some street fighter.
The actual tournament aspect is there to not only to suss out seeds and shit for our actual "events", but its also there so that we can all gauge how were improving and what we need to work on.
ie. Your placing at ranbats from week to week lets you see how youre improving. What youre losing too/beating gives you insight into where your strengths and weaknesses are etc. And if were all there in the same room, its a lot easier to convey any tips or advice we have rather than trying to do it over XBL or PSN. It also works out being a hell of a lot cheaper than yifans. I could spend $10 at yifans and not even get half the games i get at ranbats.
Anyway, the point is "Come to ranbats." :P
All of you.
Is the nexr one this weekend or next weekend?
This fri.

Yifan use to be a good place to lvl up because ppl use to talk a lot there.. well teh old crew did anyways.
The newer players there don't really talk to each other, but then most of the are casual players which makes sense I guess.
Have fun at Ranbats~~
Yea, im gonna start going to yifans to play SF4 more i think. Spread the love, as it were.
Come tonight then dick
Ill be down there this arvo, but im working tonight.

good to see u down ther rumble. I thought it was u :P I confirmed after u chose Guile haha.
GG's anyhoo as I have been out of practice... bloody WoW hahahaha!!!
Yeah I took all of my breaks together so I could go have a jam there. But it wasnt enough cos I still wanted to play lol.
My old main, Bison had like zero footsies vs your Ryu and Guile... well i hate vanilla Guile lol.
Hope to play there more during the week!
Was good to see Ryan down there rocking the gief today. And i played a really reasonable chun, who managed to steal a game from me with some bizarre adaptation. Wouldve liked to stay for some more but i was running late for work by that point.
well I am usually there at 12:30 - 1 pm
Will definitely go down on Friday and maybe today if I feel up to it^^
and yes I take all my break at once to go too!! hahahahaha
15 min + 15 min + 30 min kekekekeke
GG's yesterday to Rumble.
Bisons so hard for Fuerte. Doesnt help that i am just NOT on form atm. So many missed teleport punishes/OS teching too early after blocked FA's and eating c.lks/retarded everything on my part. I fucking hate doing dumb shit like that. Those are things im USED to doing in that matchup and i just failed.
And i spent so much time trying to airthrow your j.mp. I think i lost 2 games just because i spent the whole time trying to set up an airthrow, but despite the setup being solid, my airthrow lost to that stupid j.mp. I mustn't be able to airthrow it at all. And i know i was doing it correctly, because i set it up the same way on your other chars and it was fine. I think ive developed a tendancy to airthrow too much. I think i got good at it and now i overuse it. Its like when i was playing your seth online, and there were a shitload of opportunities for me to go for an EX guac, but i just didnt, because the reflex isnt there anymore. I need to retrain myself in that regard.
Another retarded habit i need to get out of is punishing shit with c.mk -> splash/tortilla. I think a good 40% of my losses come from that alone. Not just dumb yifans losses either. This ONE habit is holding me back more than any other weakness in my entire game, and i JUST DONT STOP DOING IT. FML. Most of our better players counter this 100% of the time. You included. I
I think the worst thing about yifans is also the best thing. It seems to bring out all the scrubby crap that I really shouldnt be doing. So A) I end up playing like absolute garbage, but B) It annoys me enough that i actually make an attempt to get rid of the dumb habits i get into.
Fuck teching throws there though. Its worse than playing online. And lol at how two machines have fucked sticks/buttons, and of the two that remain, only one of them can be considered somewhat decent. Despite the rage, i want to play there more, since the quality of the people playing there is much better than it was a few months ago. And despite the rage, i wouldnt play at all if i wasnt enjoying myself.
Yeah GGs Bill.
I guess I just took your advice and tried to rush down your Fuerte a bit more. I know, with Bison its hella easy. And with all those things that you kept messing up, besides teching, would it make it better if I said that I was actually looking out for the air throw baits and thus making it especially hard for you to land them?
With my teleports also if you had punished me at least once for that I wouldnt have used it so much. You did catch on that I hardly ever jumped or b/dashed during your blockstrings cos I almost always look for the splash to focus punish.
Yeah you couldve gotten me alot with ex guac tho. I was jumping like crazy.
And yeah gotta work on that teching. Not up myself but I think im pretty good with teching throws, online and offline. The only downside with me tho is when people like andy or jack start punishing my crouch techs I reckon they could do that all day and I'd hardly switch up cos its just automatic for me.

would it make it better if I said that I was actually looking out for the air throw baits and thus making it especially hard for you to land them?
TBH, yes. That does make me feel better. I prefer knowing im being outplayed than thinking im just shit. Admittedly, half of them were "I cant believe that shit didnt work last time. I will try it again to see if it works this time" which is how i lost at the nats. I get into "I cant figure out why im losing" mode, which leads into "i keep doing the same shit until i figure out why its not working mode" Im pretty confident in what i know, and when it doesnt work where i think it should, it unhinges me pretty bad.
Either way ive figured out that i do it too much. Which as i say, is a plus. Fuck you yifans. For being terrible and useful at the same time.
And its good that youre looking for the splash during the blockstrings. Just remember its arguably the worst thing Fuerte can do off of that. (And im going to make a hell of an effort to NOT do that shit for a while) Fuck knows why i do it as often as i do.
In all honestly, backjump into a quick strong normal will beat it 90% of the time, and it will also beat the tortilla. Its generally better than the focus, since the focus will lose to tortilla or if the fuerte is manly, fajita buster. (And if fuerte is doing it, most of the time he should be going for the tortilla.) Focus attack is better with characters whose FA moves them back, since it throws off the distance the fuerte player needs to use to cross up with the splash (ie. Bison haha), but you want to be careful with it, since if he crosses you up, and you release the focus, he gets a free slide/ultra.
But yea, a jump back hp/hk depending on the character is a great way out of that terrible overused mixup, and is generally less of a risk that Focus Attack. You demoralised me with that shit a few times as you probably noticed. As i say though, if he fakes you out into an airthrow or a guac then youre fucked, but my ability to do that is pretty lol. I need to start playing it more frequently. The habits i thought i got out of are coming back with a vengeance. And my spacings gone pretty shit as well.
Also its awesome that youve got a better handle on fuerte. From my perspective the matches are a lot more interesting when the other person knows how to deal with him. Im looking forward to fighting your seth again. Its more fun to play, when the other person knows how to deal with him. And ive got no idea how to fight seth, so it will be a good beasting that im hopefully gonna learn something from.
And lets just not talk about teching.

This what i do too lol. I get punished for it too, but the punish not too bad. And sometimes they go for throw and you can lk combo sk them. So yeah the punish usually as much as throw anyway but you get more of a reward/chance of damaging, AND teching. Agree?
Actually now that i thnk about it have to take that back. Some punish is small, but SETS you up for annoying shit eg, Ibuki.
You lose momentum on any punish though. If anyone worth their salt is punishing you, theyre getting a significant advantage.
GG's to Rumble...your Bison was hella tricky, would of liked to fight more of your Guile sweet charge time there dood - I know how hard that is when your being spammed by Ryu's Hadous.
Tuff luck to business Akuma.....learn to use that demon flip mix up dood and bait the Ultra more....Akuma does actually have a few weak spots when spamming air projectiles and heaps on his 3 hit one...hence my wake up Ultra eatting half your life bar....
LOL to Andy Akuma's my Ryu match up.....I'd been playing business Akuma for too long when you jumped on but still managed to steal 1 win......wake up Ultra's are funny...Lenny you saw that mang.
GG's to all.......
Gonna be at yifans at about 5ish today if anyone is keen.

Hey ggs man. Good to finally meet you bro.
You play Super? I would give you plenty of games with Guile there haha not being able to keep up with your fb's annoys me. Great Ryu, really different to alot of other good Ryus I've played. In a good way.
Cheers for the games.
So THATS business Akuma. I used to play him in Tekken 5 alot. He played Paul with the card name "I WANT TO FIST U" lol

Yeah man likewise,
Yeah I'm all over Super, use Ryu, Rose, Vega and a bit of Guile & Cody. Yeah Guile has been pimped for Super...I've been finding him pretty good to use....just having trouble with a few match ups. His fb match up is also better there and U2 is a good punish.
Yeah Lenny's always like -"Your Ryu is so unsafe man" haha...cracks me up, yeah I've been told I play different to most.
Yeah I gave him that knickname...I'm not surprised he was playing a lot of Tekken ;). I have no idea who he is, don't think he's on the forums.....he's always pumping coin into SS4, I think he spent like $10 in under half an hour playing me last week.....I'm sure he goes hungry during the week because of it. ;D
I'm down at Yifans most days unless works gets in the way of my Hadoukens....might catch you up for a few games during the week bro. ;D
Fark man i was playing xmen vs sf at this ice cream shop in Royal Oak today. I suck at that game.
Anyways i just had super feeds and was jamming some games. I started ripping the monster ass farts and was thinking to myself fark those are some skull and crossbones shit. So i turn around and there's this hot as blond looking at the gun game behind me. She looked at me and i was like ' some kid shit their pants over here before', she smiled and goes 'yeah..sure' haha. Hit her up for her digits but she straight bounced my ass haha.
Was clocking that game over and over with scrubb as c HP > mash combos and full screen supers with Ryu and AKuma lol.

Fark man i was playing xmen vs sf at this ice cream shop in Royal Oak today. I suck at that game.
Anyways i just had super feeds and was jamming some games. I started ripping the monster ass farts and was thinking to myself fark those are some skull and crossbones shit. So i turn around and there's this hot as blond looking at the gun game behind me. She looked at me and i was like ' some kid shit their pants over here before', she smiled and goes 'yeah..sure' haha. Hit her up for her digits but she straight bounced my ass haha.

Although I have never played I have heard 98 was pretty popular. Or that recent one that was like a retro through back. 2008 maybe?
98/2002 are the most played/the best standard kof's. My favourote is kofxi because it feels like a marvel/kof hybrid.

Dam Andy you party pooper.....you were like a ravenous junkyard dog today biting limbs of anyone on the SF4 machine......chomp chomp, metsu there, metsu here....

I was bored actually.... until some guy started to film me LOL...
I had a good time playing Hue, its bee a LONG time, was good !! ! :P

Did he have a camera lense big enough for that ego?...haha jokes man I'd say GG's but I'd be lying....like Rog sez: "Can I get a new punching bag...one that doesn't break so easy"
the thing is I don't really get much offline games nowdays since my gf is with me most weekends... and I don't really want to make her go to the ranbats with me.
Anyways!!!
I'll go down again today xoz I'm bored at work :P
12 win streak ending with a 5th round double K.O yesterday....just as Mason was coming in. That Asia dude was pissed man (he did have a pretty awesome Ryu), I though he'd won that game and got up to leave when I realised there was still another round....one that one and took it to 5th for a double K.O.....I laughed my arse off as I had to go anyway, he was like "HA -HA...very funny"......GG's yesterday.....pity I didn't have time to play against your Ken Mason...next time.
will head down about 12:30 today.
GG's Andy.....or should I say GG, the 1st one wasn't too bad....2nd one was shitters....

hmm... I think I played u DVS today? anyways u ran away too fast I couldn't say hi!!!
btw, I didn't mean to Sagay u... the game was given to me by this dude.... :P
yeh... :) cheer up lol.
As usual on my days off 98UM time..................
c'mon challenge me show me wot u got...2pm yaya
GGs yesterday DVS. Gotta say your zoning and BLOCKING has gotten heaps better. But man that guy sitting next to me was raging so hard. Whenever you took a round he'd smash the machine. I'd kick him out if I worked there. He was just spamming wall dive with vega and wondering why it wasn't working. Then when he was playing the other scrub he'd clap loudly when the other guy would win a round. It was pretty scary actually. He'd rage when his guile wake up ultras were blocked as well LOL.
mmm never seen such a person at yifan Mason..... what does he look like?
uses vega too.. thats rare lol.
Guess he was Maori, a bit older than me with curly black hair. Yeah basically vega and guile. This was around 7:30 last night. Also good to see one of the 3s guys playing a bit. His Guile was alright, just needed more booms. I hope I didn't put him off the game by spamming mixups on him.
Got manhandled by... Hue? I think it was but not sure. Mean Ryu. GGs anyway!

yeh I guess not many ryu can put as much pressure on players with than Hue...
he plays a totally different Ryu than I do lol... its interesting sometimes when me and him alternates btw the round at yifans hohoh xD.
Teching. Oh God.
That is all.
GG's to the dudes down at yifans. Lol @ my Vega. Hes pretty cool though. Wouldnt mind learning him.
gotta mash crouch tech at yifans. always.
haha Bill, I was cracking up watching u play LOL.
yeh I agree with the teching thing hoho.... but some people will just masssh the c.lp, well shotos mainly but the odd Chun well.
Will be down today at lunch :) I am sooo bored at work!!!!

Cheers Bro, trying to less 'unsafe' and focus on getting my distances right. Yeah that dude was insane I've played him before.....got one of those really long perfects on him where I would wait and counter. He has the same pattern after one round I could read him like a book.....I could tell he was really pissed after the hidding I gave his Guile ;D
Yeah Bill Vega is pretty awesome, improved soooo much in Super. Next jam session we have I'll show you some tricks with him....
Yeah Andy that was me the other day, don't worry I wasn't salty I was just in a hurry to get back to work....I actually enjoy the challenge against Sagat ;) and you didn't get a chance to say goodbye because you were admiring your reflection in the screen...haha nah jokes. Was fun fighting your Akuma the other day....I actually chalked up two wins against you......not bad,,,not bad :D Close matches.
mm I blame on teh joystick... was disgusting ><
was missing my buttons all teh time :( HAHAHA.
ANyways, hope u enjoyed the game I gave u today :P

You and buda need to ditch the wimmenz and come to ranbats.
Anyone thee on wed nights? What time they open till....hopefully someone to play haha
If I didn't have exams in a week I'd be keen to come in. Wednesday night you may find a couple, but usually not the good players. There's a timezone across the road on Queen Street (under the BK) which usually has lots of Tekken 6 players and theres a Blazblue machine there too.
Yifan opens till late midnight I think.
But yeah wednesday lunchtime is a good time to go, 12-2 pm I would say
not sure about later on the day tho....
Great place/venue, we have nothing like it in Melbourne....way bigger than anything we have in Melbourne. Most of the gear seemed like it was in pretty good condition too.
Had a few SFIV games just after lunch..played a few scrubs and then a decent ryu player..prob head back there later tonight and see whats happening..
oh, you're the sagat/ dhalsim player?
yeah that was I...
who were you??
Zosla is pictured below her forum name, be nice to her she just got dumped and is having a hard time trusting males again.
zosla was probably the decent ryu player :o
LOL LOL Skull u ass LOL.
Yeh I was the Ryu player :)
today was a bit dry... usually there are more people haha.
anyways, afternoon might be a different story, I might pop in after work.. say 6:30 ish.
ahh so that was you! nice stuff..
weird playing vanilla again after playing super for so long
i main sim in super, used to use sagat in vanilla..hence the chars..
hopefully catch you there again later tonight
poo...
Went down at 6:45 pm... and NO one was there !!! argggggg
anyways I went home lul.
Will be at yifan today at 12:30 again if anyone is there, hopefully im not busy at work :P

I felt like I 'paid' for it.....I think you racked like 6 wins up against me...was the least you could do....haha....I lost directly after, then re challenged and racked up 9 wins before I had to leave........been playing like a drunk 10 year old for a few weeks now :-[....gotta find my rthyme again
mmm... if I was to comment on how you play... ur too defensive, always running away and not putting enough pressure.
Your pattern is always the same, your wake up is always followed with a c.mp... and you random srk too much :P not that I dont HAHAHAHAHA.
oh and last thing... u drop ur pants in the corner.... but the main reason is that u always put urself in the corner as u dash back no matter what...
u might disagree, but thats what I see when I play u, not that I can do any better :) hoho
Hey mate,
Back in Australia now, what a long 48 hours its been..
anyway I ended up getting stuck at work and didn't get back into the city until around 830..there were a few guys around but it was pretty dead..
planned to be back in there by 6ish but just didn't happen..maybe next time
Hey mate,
good to hear u had a safe trip back, great that u dropped in and played.
Hope to see u sometime soon again.
best of luck.

You know what Andy, I think that might actually be the first time I've ever seen you give somebody some good advice about their play without doing the ego thing at the same time.
Good shit.

What ego thing? You guys is trippin' mane.
Wouldn't expect you to know Bill, it's a secret only NZ's top eight at Super Street Fighter IV are in on.
Hope that answers your question, dunno about you but I've always had an incredibly easy time of spotting spray on ego's from unhealthy ones.

Yeah I'm aware.....I've tried both variations playing against you....normally I rush down like a motherfucker when I'm playing anyone else. I've gotta stop mashing srk on wake up.......yeah my dash back can be the best thing and the worst thing in the world at times....... :)
But to be fair you don't leave much room for mistakes...haha. I realise I've got to improve my ground game and get my footies on lock down...pushing forward not pulling back.....I can frustrate 90% of people by keeping back and chipping away health until I can take risks......I guess your in that 10% haha
In saying that I used that exact stategy yesterday and knocked a 20 win Sagay of his perch.....they beat him another three games straight......last time I played him he torn me a new ring peice with his FADC Tiger rape.......was an awesome turnaround.....for a few minutes I felt as awesome as Andy does...haha jokes bro chur for the advice I appreciate it.....
I'll be down at the arcade at 12:30ish......be nice eh
im always nice... what ya all talking bout. meh.
I will be down as well.../ i dont get to play much at home nowdays ><
Kevin rocked up to yifans yesterday as i was leaving, didnt play him, was out of money. But fuck, I DO NOT understand how that motherfucker can hit-confirm EX greenhand off of ONE STANDING JAB. Fuck that shit.

How was he doing it ? just standing at mid range and doing stand jab xx EX hand ? or off a jump in ?
If it's the former, that's easy - just buffer EX hand after doing your jab. The trick is to do it from just outside stand jab range, so that the only way it can connect is if the opponent comes forward into the hitbox - and obviously, if you're moving into an active hit box, you ain't blocking.
That must have been it, but like, the ones that were being blocked didn't have a greenhand on the end. It was insane. He did a couple of blockstrings, like say for instance, jab -> jab -> jab. Opponent blocks first 2, eats 3rd one -> GREENHAND. A second later, opponent blocks first one, eats 2nd one -> GREENHAND. I'm sure it was just as methodical as you say, but he made that shit look like reactions haha.
Fuck - even I can't explain those ones. Nigga must be part cyborg/gypsy/jesus.
I say part gypsy can never trust them casting spells, stealing babies and shit.
I call it skills and experience :)
I'll show u how its done next time bill :) lol well I'll TRY!!!!
actually, Electric got it on the spot lol :P
Lawyered.
I'm pretty sure he's buffering to counter a poke. Kevin and lots of good giefs do that alot.

Gameplay does liek a bit slow compared to older version....
hmm cody raping people down there today hoho.
Gonna come down at 5 this arvo so Cody can rape me as well.
Might want to move kof xiii talk into a more specific thread... something with kofxiii in the title perhaps?
Ill be there at 2 today smashing some KOFXIII.
Think the missus finishes around 6 so ill beast that game for about 4 hours before heading off. XD
Be there at 2 as well might be early lol....

Game is pretty rad. Spent a couple of hours playing it today.
Will go down to yifans this lunch time, 12:30.
Hope to see some fimiliar faces.
Guess I'll come down then Andy.
GGs DVS its always lol when I play you.

I had to head back to work, otherwise I would have hung around.......I was inspired by the Daigo/ Alex Valle Ryu Mirror at Sol Cal and wanted to stage a comeback....have to wait till tomorrow....
haha well me too!!!! thats why I was playing Footsies with u :P instead of my norm :) feels alot closer huh^^ wait till I get better with them :P
Yeah ggs today Andy.
Also played some marvel with Hue and Dave and that was fun shit. I love raging at everything.
It was funny watching these 2 gangster guys playing SF4 ken vs balrog. The ken would do crouching fierce xx shoryuken on him every time either of them were getting up and the boxer would keep getting hit. Sometimes he blocked it and then threw him on recovery, but the ken wouldn't give up. Ken ended up winning...
will be in today at lunch again :) u people fuk off from KOR13 so I can have a go!!! ><
Just have a go. Were all still pretty shit. The only difference is that we know long impractical combos.
hmm had a go today.. its too different from SF lol.... need to play more i guess but sitll don't know what im doing...
Dont try to play footsies. That element is still there but its WAAAAAAY different. Thats the biggest thing i reckon. Get Cody to give you the basics.
In other news, ill be down at yifans at about 4:30 to get my ass handed to me by fucking Mature again. >_>
mason gained pushblocking skills +1
mason gained 2 mvc2 experience
8)
Hopefully Mason will soon evolve into Richard.
So I have a question.
I read the first page but it looks outdated.
Does Yifan's have a Super Turbo cabinet?
It has an AE cabinet and a shit HF cabinet.

Awesome awesome! I'll be in Grey lynn, I just google mapped it and it seems pretty close to Yifans and Giga.
oh, you on the Ponsonby way? I work near by :)
gg's DVS.
Man the sticks down there need some attention though :/
oh yes... I played on teh same stick as you I think against DVS yesterday.... its REALLY STICKY....lol for those who don't know, the stick on the NEW screens that is next to the KOF13 machine is the one we are talking about, (the side cab facing Tekken machines.)
I keep forgotting to pick Guile against ur Ryu DVS.. i'll try to remember next time^^
Yeah that stick, trying to do ultra's on it with gief was like turning up a bike machine at the gym, to the highest resistance and its a struggle to even get it going around haha.

Totally dude I was totally frustrated as I couldn't back dash away from those ferral green palms! :-\
Your Gief is getting much better dood.....you've just gotta get in that footies zone and use Giefs Pokes, he has ultra fast jabs and good priority on his mediums...check out his bread and butter links (mostly into Green palm) and use forward hard kick to close distance -it's a good fake and set up for a pile driver. Stop my corner escapes with his neutral jump headbutt.......and after a larriet connects let your green palm rip for a knock down and better spacing so you can set up your cross up rape....mix ups from Gief can be costly for most players...and don't be afraid of the trade -Gief has monster health. ;)

Haha thanks. I agree with everything in that post, my experience is so limited at the moment that I find it hard to play footsies with characters other than a few that my friends play. My BnB combos I struggle with due to my hate of training mode, I've learnt pretty much all i know just mucking around with my friends.
I find your fireball game frustrating to deal with which probably leads to a lot of my careless play. I've hardly played against a Ryu really so I am pretty worried about SRK and really not sure on the spacing of when to A, Forward jump a fireball B, Neutral jump a fireball C, Focus dash and D, Larriat.
Basically my whole post reverts back to: I'm a huge noob that can beat people on bad sticks occassionally through luck :D lol.
Don't be afraid of fireball chip damage. I see too many people trying too hard to avoid them. Gief is a scary motherfucker when he's just walking forward. Inch forward. Block. Inch forward. Block. 90% of the time ryu is going to back himself into a corner. Then it's a rape party. Really all ryu can do is mash dragon or go for that bullshit tatsu escape. The hardest part is learning to telegraph these. But once you can, you'll be frustrating ryu's all over the place who think they know the gief match. Just remember gief only has to hit ryu a few times to throw the damage in his favour.
I make it sound easier than it is. Ryu v gief is uphill for gief because the fireball game is MEANT to be frustrating. I think the key is to be a bit more fearless. Ryu is much more scared of you than you are of him. It's like swatting a wasp. The sting hurts if you get stung, but that motherfucker is DEAD if you hit him.

Mind you this doesn't work with lag.
they are talking about Yifan's game the other day.
All I can say About Gief vs Ryu matchup is it is in Giefs favour.
I am not really scared of any Gief except Kevins... that bastard is crazy. LOL.
Anyways, most gief have poor to no poking game and get frustrated during fireball game.
I play Kevin's Gief soo much in Vinilla that I really enjoy teh matchup.

You're so awesome Andy. I wish i could be as awesome in the gief match as you are.
The only thing our opinions differ on is the fact that Ryu vs Gief is in Ryu's favour. Not by much, i think its 5.5/4.5, but its definitely in Ryu's favour.
Bill I know I am awesome, so don't be afraid to ask for my autograph k?
5:5 I can agree on actually... :P

GG's to everyone I played today.... ;) Was good to play so many different match ups....I actually picked up a few new things
why must kevin be so beast :'( :'(
Was awesome to play Ben and Smoof etc last week at 3S. Those Hugo - Dudley matches especially. What I like about that game is the way characters can push each other into the corner without even pushing any buttons.
bastard kevin went down? ><
the only day I didn't go and he goes down!!!
I'm going to be at Yifans on Saturday for a bit! Anyone popping down around lunch?
Yup
Sweet, I may put some coins in to BlazBlue (If it's still there?) and Street Fighter if I don't mind at the time losing every game.
BBs gone (though they may have moved it like they did with TvC I haven't looked), but timezone across the road has BBCS.
Yeah it's been moved down the row into one of the shitty old cabs. Just hit Timezone for CS, the new version. Who still plays CT anyway :/
Don't think I've been or seen the TimeZone, where abouts is it? The BK timezone?
Yep, it's underneath BK.

Sweet, thanks! How is the BBCS cabinet there?
Also what the fuck is Animal Kaiser? Sounds addicting.
I heard the buttons are sanwa, I suck at the game, so it feels fine to me. I think it's a dollar a game. Animal kaiser is just a dice roll with better numbers depending on your cards. Yeah I said it.
Nah they're not sanwa.
As for AK.... I wouldn't touch that thing with real money lol
Yeah I remember someone was pretty adamant that they were sanwa, and I was like, yeah nah they're not :/ Since when did sanwa click like a happy meal toy?
Then Lenny came down and confirmed they weren't and I was like fuck yeah.
Also Animal Kaiser is the shit.
Been fun down here the past few days, thanks zosla for the games and the tips! :D
Can't make it today :( At home with fractured ribs!
Aww bl bro. And today is the day where everyone comes before ranbats. I'll be there 11:30ish.

ooooo shit? hope you're okay mate....
Np about the tips, just like to see people who share the same passions as us to actually move forward and improve.
I just hope I don't give you gys a hard time down there and make u guys scared to play :( I actually learnt alot recently as well from u guys, so it goes both ways^^
I'll try to be there at 12:30 today, if im not too busy at work.
should be there 1pm with squares .
hope some of use are down there
GG's to Devilstar....was stoked to get a win...only to get beaten like a red headed step child in the next game...haha...
Practising against your Gief has given me mad insight into how to handle myself against the red cyclone....be gutted when my runaway helecopter Tastu's will be editted out in Super Arcade addition......have to fight my way outta the corner
Nice to meet mokes and evenflow today. You totally werent who i thought you were haha. My fault for being an antisocial cunt for like the last 6 months. Ill pop down again tomorrow and give you guys some games with my rusty ass fuerte.
Additionally, since im gonna be down at yifans tomorrow lunchtime, some of you assholes (Read: You god damn useless Niueans) need to come down and smash me at KOFXIII. Theres only so much training mode you can play before you get bored.
HAHAHAHA,
BIll, thats why you play street fighter :P no one plays kof!!!!
TBH Andy thats why i started playing SF4. I tried it when it first came out (remember when i was failing with Abel) and i didnt like it. But then all the competition went to SF4 so i picked it up again. Game-wise I would rather play KOF.
SOOON YIFANS SHALL BE OVER RUN WITH TEAM NIUE HAHAHAHA
Thanks to Zosla for stopping by today to give us some useful tips. Didn't even stop to play, just did some drive-by coaching. Nice ;D
Hahaha, yeah he stole my gief for a couple of rounds to bust out a few combos to show me :D
all good, guys^^
I just had my hair cut and thought I will pay yifan a visit, its good to see you guys trying to improve :)!!!
Can't say I am good enough to give tips or teach you guys anything, but hope I helped... lol.
I can't be specific with data info as I don't read them, so how many frames what comes out and such is all ????? to me lol.
DID TOMI CUT YOUR HAIR!?
DID YOU ASK YIFANS WHEN THEY GONNA GET SSF4 AE!?!?!?!?!?
Yup Tomi cut my hair. oh thats right, Smoof u go to my sister's salon as well aye LOL.
No i was out with my colleagues for lunch today, didn't have a chance.
You mean Smoof actually cuts that giant mop on top of his head :P
Only when you're not looking ahahaha

TRUTH
Sooo any news on SSF4AE for yifans?
Yer it's broken. So when it comes to console it's gonna be the updated version :D
Not there yet. Im on earlys so im probably gonna be there every day this week. Will keep you homos posted.
I just realised something.
Those that don't have regular access to Yifans are going to be at a huge disadvantage come next nationals. Especially those that like to character hop based on tiers.
Yeah I guess so. Guess it depends how long it takes to get the console version.
Next years nats will be held on mid July at this point, so as long as its not too far ahead should be fine.

It's probably gonna be released like a week before the Nationals. I say regular bi weekly challenges be held at Yifans from now on instead of Giga.

Oh do they have a date for the console release of the patch? If its not released before nats, then god knows what we are gonna do. I don't even want to think about it at this point.
Scrap SSF4 and just make the 3 games BB:CS, MvC3 and KOF XIII ;)

Yifans dont allow us to do similar 'events' to giga. Yifans will ONLY charge per game, exactly as it is now. This has been discussed with them A LOT over the years, and they dont budge on this. I dont mind hitting yifans up every 2nd friday, but we can't do the whole "Pay $10, play as much as you like" thing due to how Yifans operates.
yup, was there today with kevin, not out yet :(
The Owner was not there today... so will have to check it out when he is in...
But when it does comes out, I'll be there every lunch time when I can :P
I love the arcade environment :) you lose, u get off!!! :D

Nah I was just meaning everyone goes there on a certain day at regular intervals. So those from out of town can drive in with certainty that there is an event on.
$10 will get you five games and people tend to talk more to each other at Yifans than at Giga because the focus will be on one match at a time.

It would be even funnier if it happened just before Evo. :D
Fingers crossed that yifans will magically love us so much that they either make it a dollar or 2 for $3.
Fuck the price! I just want a card :D

you maybe. id get bored and go off to play something else. plus it would take forever.
wtf are you guys serious? 2 or 3$ a game? How much was vanilla when it first hit Yifans?
Mason meant $3 for 2 games. When vanilla first dropped it was $2 a game.
Cards will probably be a tenner too.....

Yeah I wasn't meaning ranbats. But it happens every two weeks so out of towners can come too.
you can prolyl still do ranbats, but u just pay for ur games..... I mean you MIGHT get th odd random who wants to play in between, but it doesn't matter really, thats NEW BLoOD right there!!! anyways.
If out towners really keen to come then I think Friday nights or Saturday noon will be suitable for most??? but its holiday season now, I mean just come to Auckland, ask a mate to stay at their place for a few nights or something. That will give you a good couple of days to jam on it when its out.
Spoke to the tech guy there today who said he heard the order was placed but doesn't know anything more.

The one day other than a ranbats day that I stay back after work to play some AE and TZ is closed. Anyway, ggs to Rob and Goku_kakarot (I forgot your name :-[) at Yifans and also met a couple of decent players and directed them to this site. A decent Ken player and a really good Chun/Viper player, both just moved here from taranaki. If you're reading this guys, welcome to Auckland and be sure to come to next week's ranbats on friday.
Chun/Viper dude is on xbox live GT: hyperviper 01 or something like that. I dont think I've played him before.

Cool. Nice to finally meet you. Sick and annoying Viper lol.
Welcome. Let's just say that whatever Mark has said about us is probably pretty inaccurate, lol :)
Yeah you guys should come to TZ instead! Pretty much everyone goes down there for AE now :3
Went down yesterday and I saw that they now have SSF4. So they got 2 vanilla SF4 cabs linked up and 2 SSF4 cabs linked up right next to eachother. It's $2 a game though and the lag is 100x worse than the vanilla cabs, I'm not sure why. It was so bad, it felt like playing mvc3 online :(
too little too late yiffans !!!!!!!

Well that's something. Overall I find Yifans more and comfortable and convenient than Timezone.
Stuck in the mid '90s with their coins system. At least you won't get told off for having a drink in TZ. Well, if you can call nonsensical grunts and your drink being taken away 'being told off.'
Good for when I need to break a note into change though.
My main gripes with TZ are the card system and the awkward seating system.
Card is way better than coin imo. Seats aren't great and it is a bit grubby at TZ but TZ staff are infinitely more helpful. It's also only really 90 cents a game if you have a VIP card and only top up when it is double dollars, less than half the price of yifans.
And it doesn't lag... Seriously have a try on it at Yifans and you will be very disappointed.
The lag is terrible it really feels like you are playing online.
I personally would rather play at yifans if the sf4 setups were up to standard and the pricing was better. Timezone doesn't feel like an arcade to me and the only other fighting games they have are new games like tekken and bb. It used to be cool going down and seeing a bunch of different people playing a bunch of different games :'(
Yeah yifans would be the baddest if the cabs worked properly
Yifans now has AE for $2 a game, 2 cabs, probably be a 4 cab set up (he was half way through setting up when I was playing). We had a fire alarm go off at work so I was able to sneak off for a few games. Haven't played down at Yifans since last year, so I was rusty, noticed screen lag straight away.
Take it or leave it....

Wonder why they have this issue but TZ doesn't. Make sure you let the tech guy know. Although he probably is already aware of it.

Horses for courses I guess.
yeah i do like the atmosphere at yiffans so much more , with all the fighting games , i also like putting your coins up for next challenge over having a swipe card as well .
shame yiffans screens lag , have nothing like double dollars which rule at tz and just overall helpfullness at tz is alot better .

still have no idea why go yifans over timezone, vip card the game is 1.80, plus they have double dollars, lag free, joysticks are mint to the core, unlike yifans fuck i get a good workout from mashing thoses buttons
Also yifans layout feels weird again. I'm pretty sure tz layout is the same as a TE, but yifans I keep missing the buttons... It's still much more of an arcade and lucky that there's still lots of other games being played there like KoF and old school games, or else they might shut down and really it's the best and biggest arcade in the country.
so Yifan's got SSF4 AE now? Might try it...

If they change the price to $3 for two games it would be a better deal.
its just the same as how yifans always is...
I still prefer the TZ setups... though they need to have proper chairs for all 4 cabs ><
Had to sit half my ass today!!

$1 a game that's a pretty good deal! So is that all the time now?
Timezone have double dollars day which are the first Sunday of every month (like tomorrow) and every public holiday. If you top up on one of those days they'll double the amount you top up. Which essentially means if you pick it right your games are all gonna be half priced practically. Also when you get $200 spent on your card you get upgraded to a Gold Card which means you get a free game every day (assuming you top up at least $20 that month, obviously do that on double dollars).
Also every Thursday is if you pay $6 you get a temporary card with half price for that day. That doesn't get vip pricing though so each game of SSF4AE would be $1. After the $6 runs out you can top however much you want on on Thursday to keep getting the half price.
Oh yeah double dollars. I remember now. I did that when AE first came out. Now if only TZ had Third Strike...
Yeah he's improved a lot since we last played lol. If any of you guys go yifans I'm the scrub Fei Long player.

It's Gameouttt
t t x 4. you missed out 1 t. :P Almost 2 years on this forum and you are the first one who spells my gaming tag correctly without my correction. :P
It might look like 50-50 or 60-40 (to Gameoutttt) in the clips but to be honest those were the only matches that I could barely hang on...... Normally it'd be something like 80-20 to Gameoutttt or even 90-10. He's a very very strong player.
Nobody cares about spelling ay. They always spell mine wrong too haha. But i hate how it's spelt tbh. Got stuck with it haha.
Those some good games Hue. I wish you played one of those awesome Bisons like Followup or ISY.
Hue is my hero <3 hohohoho
CALL ME WHEN UR BACK!!! :P
Awesome games man. Got some good ideas to use for that Ibuki matchup ;D

CRAQ UP! It was posted yesterday, so its probably world wide by now...that reminds me, does anyone know if boarder patrol is returning back to nz television??
not sure and probably best to make a new thread for that dude.
Today is $1 games at Timezone, Simonfish, Imagneto, Devilstar (Kevin) and myself will be down there for some AE action.
Hope more peeps will come down and play us :)
Lol put it in the tz thread. But anyway might be there for a bit later tonight.
Not me. Im stuck in traffic at work and most likely trip down to tauranga. Surf pumping on east coast tues nxt week all week. Wax up your boards ninja's and get out there. Whangamata the place to hit.
opps wrong thread HAHA

Yea i posted in the wrong thread too lol.
Really hope they fix that lag soon.
I doubt they'll buy new monitors.
It would be a shame if Yifans closed down imo. Which is a possibility.
They should really deal with the lag issue, I prefer playing there over tz. Should just chuck AE in the older crt cabs haha

Apparently each monitor costs $10,000 so I don't think they'll be buying new ones :-\
Has anyone had a word to the owner and been like 'Hey I don't know if you noticed but a shitload of your business is over the road due to those monitors'......if anyone bumps into him maybe a word in his ear might help.....start talking about money and everyone starts listening.
No.... The ones they are running probably cost under a thousand.

Spoke to the bearded tech dude a while back and he was like $10,000 which surprized me too.....I have no idea whats under the hood of that thing.....askem if ya like.
Hes talking about the entire cabinet. Including the board for the game, buttons etc.
Monitors are under $1000.
Ten grand for a board. Not for a monitor. I was there when they installed the sonys. They came with Dick Smith's tape around them.

Yeah maybe he was talking about the entire kit for $10,000 not sure what portion of it is monitor, if it is only $1000 then someone needs to tell'em....if a $1000 investiment means that there's no lag....it'd probably mean the majority of their NZism clients would come back......

Totally, I think Mobius is right too...they might close down if they don't upgrade. I think we all have a stake in the place....I musta pumped 1000's of into that place over the years (I don't wana even think about how much) -probably put a few of their kids through school. If we let them know....or talk to the right person they may listen. I talk to the tech guys quite often.....maybe I'll hit'em up next time. Be a real shame if they do close down.....I'd say they'd be missing the $$$$$ from the NZism crew - am I right in guessing most serious SF players don't use those cabs anymore?
You're right bro. I mean it's great that TZ is supporting NZism and all but Yifans has done more for the NZ fighting game scene than most of these newbies realise.

It would be really sad if and when it goes....I've been playing video games in town for years, Stages downtown, Timeout etc.... and Yifans is the only oldschool arcade around now.
I know I put in over 100 dollars into the Mushihimesama Futari machine.
So long as Koreans exist, Initial D and Wangun will make a healthy income.
I took a video of someone playing BBCT in the CRT cabinet, but I couldn't upload it, it was too depressing.

Why

Why
BBCT is 720p native. It doesn't belong outside of an LCD, it looks really ugly.
Fair enough. I remember it looking like shit.

Oh snap. In Yi Fan? So far as I know, only I still touch the BBCT arcade regularly (on my 1-2 hours break for Uni. And I go almost everyday rofl)
