Yeah it only seems harder at first, knowing where your corners are *for sure* can save your ass a lot of times.

Excuse my newbness but whats the diff btw the gates, and which one is better for beginners?

KOBE I won!!!!! MY HOS raped him/My Axl beat him(close matches):yaaay:

Also, I tried his stick a bit and beat him once in Marvel. My mashing has really lessened, even when nervous.

You have your square (4 directions) gate and you have your octagonal (8 directions) gate. I would say the octagonal is more beginner friendly; however, I find the square gate much better since you don't have to work as hard to press up or down, also you'll know where your corner is for your SRK (DP) motions or when you need to block low (or if playing a charge character).

It's all preference really, but sometimes a stick will limit you to what you can do at times.

oct gates only seem more newb friendly, really the square gates are much better as you don't have to "guess" which way you blocking, you know. I'm pretty sure daigo and all those guys play on square gates.

Also Japanese arcade cabinets are square gate, so if you're used to square gate you won't have to adapt as much.

Isaac, I just got back and i can learn air potemkin buster combo 100% of the time, Im getting close. Btw Houston might show up, Jan really wants to play you. Stone needs to mail me back my belt and phone that I left in his car (I tried calling from a pay phone like 20mins after u guys left but no one answered my phone, then i think someone turned it off....)

It's okay, I don't hate you, I hate myself. :) I wuv my furry pozer.

Kobe I need your mailing address asap. I saw your belt and I found your phone after I saw your post, I had called it thinking you only forgot the belt. :/ Let me know before my check clears through and I overdraw for the week!

BlackRose, I'm up for meeting up on Thursday morning, gimme a call when you can.

Also for the record of stick holding, I hold the stick like a pencil, with my thumb and pointing finger. :p

Why does everyone want to play me for money? =/ Isaac, make it $20. I'll do it If I show. Thanks Stone I really needed to know, because I hold mine a little weird.

You should show, it seems I'll be forced to demand that day off for work, and I wanted to make money. :(

It doesn't matter how you hold it, if you get used to holding it a certain way and you can get the stick moving to how it should work, then it shouldn't matter, since I've seen wineglass and pencil style for a lot of different people and they're fine.

K dad, spank you very much! =D

Hmmmmm... but the day of this tournament is the same day of Houston Regionals, unsure if I can make it.

I was talking to Kevin, Jan, and Jake has posted in the SRK thread that they were probably going to this mainly because Raekwon is going. That doesn't leave much competition-wise for GG IMO.

I was against having this tournament on the day of regionals, but the guy had it planned for Mardi Gras weekend because he wanted MvC2 and beads+titties assist, so you can't blame him much.

Oh damn, so everyone is going?

Kind of sucks, because it sounds like there just dodging regionals, but oh well.

I'm interested in this event, and depending what my budget says and housing, chances are I might make it to this event.

I can't really plan anything at this moment, but i'll talk to the houston peeps next time I hit up there again (which may be this weekend) on what exactly is going on.

But then again, I got no idea who Raekwon is ;o

Lol I just beat my brother with my new potemkin (air pot buster ftw), and my new venom tricks, even though they harder to pull off on Ino (the venom tricks cause of chemical love and notes). Apparently he doesnt know anything about other characters normals that he doesnt play, which he admit, and I find that fking hilarious. He even said truthly robo ky 6p was 4 hits, and im not kidding, and didnt know what robo ky 2p looks like. I can not make this up.

I sent your stuff earlier today, Kobe. Should be there in two to three days. Tell me what you think of those vids, they are around two weeks old I think. My ps2 is dying. :(
