so moe kona

I meant to share this sooner but for some reason, I couldn't remember it for the longest time. It was during a tournament I had and I was playing against my friend who was using Tager against me (and he mains Nu) in loser's finals. Because I treated every Tager I came across like online players, rushed him down at every opportunity. DON'T DO THAT! A good Tager will want you to rush so he can 360 you every chance he can get. Don't try to chase them after knockdown either. Use D after knockdown when you're at a safe distance. If you try to pressure during knockdown, the Tager has the ability to roll tech and 360 or 720 you on the spot. Your absolute best option is to run away and ZONE ZONE ZONE! I don't care if the matchup is 7-3 in Nu's favor. If you let Tager close the gap on you, you're done. I did end up winning that set because I smartened up (at the last minute). If you want to win, think distance.

Nine knows how to dual mod sticks too. Get you stick to work on 360, PS2, and PS3. Talk to him about it!

You're talking about the C. Viper player for SF4 right?

If I can make it to the tourney, I'll bring a PS2 setup for CvS2.

I hardly ever use 6A. Though I did see one of my friends use 6A on a Bang who was giving him too much pressure. It definitely got him off.

Get you stick dual modded! :D

If there's enough time and interest, is it okay if I run a Blazblue side tourney?

From the mirror matches I've played, I've come to the conclusion of this: who ever pokes first wins. The rest is all mindgames. Trying to counter a D with a different D, etc. This is one of the only times you can't be patient. You have to act first or lose control of the match.

This is the closest I can find to what he was talking about. It's shitty Ustream quality but it's the only one I can find. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hf8C52-m6FA

Excellent write up, Arcade Fire. This definitely gives me a lot to think about especially since Tao is one of my most troublesome/annoying matchups (though not my worst). Also, I found an interesting little tidbit while playing against my friend who plays as Tao. If Tao tries to 214214C from almost full screen, you can stop it with 6D. I'd say only do this when you're feeling ballsy.

Josh, I'm ready to start up now. I don't have mIRC so I'll just be in VS.

I'd prefer double elim, but I'm good with whatever.

VS and ST? FUCK YEAH! Also, what time do you wanna start this?

If I could get work off for this, I'll definitely be there. Jay Santa "kona" - MA SF4 singles, teams BB singles, teams GG singles, teams

It has a few purposes: 1)To fake somebody out which can lead to reset combos. 2) To recover quickly if you realize you're going to miss the the full Crescent Saber. 3) To follow up with a real Crescent Saber. It is a useful tool.

Yes. It's a feint Crescent Saber.

Depending on how much I get paid on Friday, I'll be there. Anyone willing to give me a ride?

God damn, Kayin. You better be leveling up that scrubby ass Jin of yours while you're there! LOL JK. Anyways, best of luck with your life at Cali and I'll see you at EVO. :D

This is thread is so fucking dead. :3

Fucking A, I wish I would've known that sooner. I'm moving back to Chicopee within 2 weeks. I'll let you know but there's the question of a ride. I can definitely take a bus to your place but we'd need to find a ride.

It's all good. Provided if work will let me get that day off, I'll be there.

This Friday will be a no go for me since I work. But if this becomes a regular thing, I'll try to make it out. It's a lot cheaper for me to go there than GU.

If I can make it, I'll definitely bring a setup. Also, where's Blazblue?!

I don't think GG is dead anywhere around here. Sure, GG's being overshadowed by SF4, but it seems that GG is still outranking BB by popularity.

Pretty much anything to stay the fuck away from Ragna is the general consensus.
