New Zealand Fighting Game Forum

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.

I don't know how this idea will work but it's worth a try I guess.

Here's a list so far:

Abel: erugoodwin
Adon:
Akuma: iMagneto, erugoodwin
Balrog (Boxer): karizzma

I will be switching to Cody for my main in super, but keeping C.Viper as my most serious alt, So please don't hesitate to look me up for advice on any of the above, including a few more from super: Guy, Juri & Ibuki-kun.

OK deal. I'll try to be on as much as possible before Super. (that usually only means 1 to 2 hours in the evening) But if you are serious about playing HD for the nationals I'll be glad to give you some more in depth basics after the initial week of ssf4 hype.
Luckily Chun is probably my best character on HD. However mirror matches are a bit hard to get a feeling for what she's about.

Shot man, and yeah I'm serious. The game seems really fun so it's definitely looking like a good one to have under the belt, even after nationals.

Kun is kind of like a suffix used with Japanese names. (Sort of like 'san'. eg. when Seth Killian refers to Daigo as 'Umehara san')

Kun is used when referring to a younger boy (ie. under the age of about 13). Or between younger boys. Likewise, 'chan' is used when referring to younger girls, or when referring to a toddler or smaller child.

eg:

Lenny: Come *young boys name* Kun. There is candy in my van.

and subsequently

Lenny: Sorry *young girls name* chan, no vaginas allowed.

Usually for teenagers -> adults 'san' is the one you would use. And its gender ambiguous as well. Sort of like smoof.

As for me:

Game: Eating Poop

Game: MVC2

APPRENTICE

Pretty sure Smoof knew and was giving James shit for referring to Ibuki as a boy lol

Bill get ready for the GRUDGE MATCH

Your scrubJay vs my SUPER TURBO BLACK COSTUME CHUN
Get on my lvl

Smoof pretty mush speaks all asian languages. I just felt like being a know-it-all.

Scrubjay will smile at your pathetic attempts at chun. And even your not-so-pathetic attempts at chun. HES JUST THAT FUCKING HAPPY.

I dont even know if im trash talking or not.

... Teach me my new super team Bill.

AMINGO
MORRIGAN
JUGGERNAUT

I told Alan to pick this team and he was pretty beast with it so I reckon it's probably the best team you can get without including the kings of marvel.
