Any newbies out there looking to become an apprentice? I think SRK set up a similar mentor/apprentice thread with some success. I think this would be a good way to build the NZ community, teaching on a one to one basis can be much more beneficial than random bits of information here and there.
The idea of the thread is people post their PSN username, which game they play including characters or just general advice and whether or not they wish to be a mentor or apprentice.
Apprenticeships could last as long as the apprentice gets on their own feet or whatever.
Yeah, so ibasically cut and paste this from the PSN thread. You know the drill guys!

SSF4 Mentor: Getting beat down.
SSF4 Apprentice: Everything. Mainly execution. That way I might be able to do what I know I need to. lol >:D Finding stupid amounts of time would probably help.
On a more serious note, I'm looking at learning Cody/Deejay, but I suspect no one is ace with those guys yet!
I can go through some brief shit with Dee Jay, but youre probably well aware of anything i can give you.
Yeah I think I've got the basics but executing it is my problem :p
Aww well, ill see if I can give you anything new all the same. And while this is a 360 thread, i would have a talk to James(Hydrokinesis) about Cody next time you see him. His is pretty good.
SSF4 Mentor:
Balrog, Dudley
SSF4 Apprentice:

I don't think I've met James yet so you might have to point him out! Anyway, might have a jam on ssf4 soon, getting bored of uni work!
SSF4 Apprentice: Juri
I could maaaaaybe give a few Guile pointers but I would by no means call my self a mentor.. I still get sassed!!
SSF4 Mentor:
El Fuerte
MvC2 Apprentice:
Need someone to teach me. Know absolutely nothing so I'm like a blank slate... apart from the very basics of the game of course.
SSF4 Mentor:
Guile
SSF4 apprentice:
Seth
ssf4 mentor
mak and rog
ssf4 apprentice
blocking vortex and tech throws
To be honest, if you learn to DO the vortex, you will learn how to escape it. Its not about blocking, its about finding the hole and getting the fuck out.
To keep it on topic:

We'll have some more endless games bro. I didnt reply that other night as i was raging over being beaten again and again by a lame ass abel in ranked and i kept wanting to play him lol.
Will be good to play my Seth against some of you guys in endless and get some feedback.
All good man, I figured you were playing someone else. Or just didn't want to waste your time. Hehe.
