Ah right. In interviews with the guy who balanced SSF2HD, he was talking about toning down top tier players like Dhalsim, so I assumed it was a literal balance thing.

I really do think Sagat needs to be tweaked, but that's about the only one I've noticed. Maybe if I played against more of the other characters, I would notice more flaws.

I heard the balance was hella solid. Also, the dude who did HD Remix basically shit on SF 4 for being too complex to grab casual fighter fans.

Nah, he shit on reviews for saying it was accesible to casual fans. He thought it wasn't, but doesn't need to be.

Don't beat yourself up. Your Cammy is strong as well.

I think I might try and main her. I wanted Fei, but I dunno, he's just not working for me as much as Cammy.
Also for some reason, I'm much more consistent with Cammy's Hooligan Combo than Fei's forward flip kick, even though they have the same motion. Weird. |

You use that one more than I do. The Hooligan slide links to her super on hit.

Somebody challenge me when I'm on or something. I've got like maybe two of you on my friends list. My self esteem needs to come down from all this winning against bad shoto players.

Why would you have an A or B grade in offense or denfense if you lost? Think about it.

This is a revelation for me.
Still, I broke the 1000s in BP. My weakness against obvious scrubs continues anyway (recently lost to a piss poor Ken player). |

I hit 1430 BP before I wore myself out. It's getting harder and harder to get BP--I'm earning like, 20 to 40 BP a match, versus the 90 or so I would drop if I actually lost. I've discovered that Cammy is a fucking scrub killer. Wait for the Shoryu, then airthrow/diag drill them on the way down. Hadospam? EX Hooligan Throw right over that shit, put your vag in their fucking mouth. Dragon Kicks? Gief lariat grief? Shoot that spinning shit across the floor, and watch them go ahead and try it again like it won't just keep running them the fuck over.
Really, I'm glad that I've gotten most of the stupid ass scrub patterns down. It's a goddamn weight off my fucking shoulders. Now I actually breath a sigh of relief when someone picks Ken--I mean, that saves me the trouble of thinking. Just wait for that dumb shit to start doing something retarded, and then SPIRALARROWSPIRALARROWSPIRALARROWCANNONDRILLSPIRALARROW. |

Oh, and has anyone else experienced this phenomenon? I call it One Night with Akuma. They'll set a ranked match to one round, so you don't have time to catch onto their stupid ass patterns as they needlessly spam gay shit. It used to always be Akuma--the player would know Akuma's ultra to perfection. Just throw Hados until the time is right, then BAM--toss that shit out there as soon as you can, possibly twice in the same fight if it misses the first time, and then capitalize on your opponent not getting a recovery round.
Now that everybody knows how easy Akuma's ultra is to dodge, though, I keep seeing one round Blanka, Abel, and E. Honda fights. The Blanka fights are the best because these fuckers don't realize I can just low kick them out of the electricity. They'll just go right back to mashing down on the shock button like it was a fluke or something. |

Akumas Ultra (and super) are perfectly balanced because with the right timing, you can still hit anyone with it. If a flying hard kick comes your way, Akumas weak punch counters it anyways. Hit the rest of the buttons after it and you'll grab them before they land.
Got accused of cheating last night. They thought his teleport was me repeatedly doing his super.... |

I've unlocked everyone and finished arcade with each of them. Now I'm focusing on the Legendery Champion achievment. I have to finish arcade on hardest (again) and beat Gouken. I did arcade on hardest and never got to face Gouken. I only used one continue (damn El Fuerte!). Do I have to do it without continues?
Seth isn't as bad as everyone seems to make him out to be. On a Street Fighter related not, I'm heading to a costume party Friday the 13th for a friends birthday. I'm going to be going as Dan Hibiki based on his ingame SF IV look My only problem is, I can't turn up bare foot to the pub/club/venue it's being held at so I need footwear that fit's the costume. I'm guessing sandels would work, right? 80-ish people expected to turn up and I bet a bunch will be The Joker. I'm wondering how many times I'll hear "Who are you supposed to be?" in one night. Would answering that question with an autographed picture of Dan be too much? |

That's why I gave my Xbox account a passcode. I knew someone would mess about on my account. I remember leaving me SNES or Ps2 or whatever console paused for 5 minutes and coming back and seeing someone had taken over and got me a game over.

I mean I let him, and he was way better than he was playing. We played for about an hour in versus, and he wanted to play people online, so I let him. He just couldn't handle everyone being really aggressive online...I tend to play pretty conservatively.

One time I lost 100bp to a loss. Fucking absurd. The most I ever gained was 70-something, even with 2 As and a B. I set my Custom Match finder to locate players 'better than me' and that's useless because you don't get any more points for beating a 'better' player. It's good to find out what the latest patterns are.
I pretty much pick Cammy for all my Rank battles now. She is perfect. I've learned to fight without jumping hardly at all. Just watch Guile/Balrog/'anybody' players utterly freeze when they see you barely ever jump at them. I currently trying to get a Focus Attack in after Guile's first sweep kick so I can absorb the second. I seen the computer do this. |

I'm terrible for jumping. I toned it down for a while but the last couple of days I've been hopping around the screen like a frog on a sugar rush.
I started jumping all the time in SFII when I was a kid because it seemed like a faster way across the screen. I've never fully broken the habit. |
