Obligatory intro thread.

[Retribution]

So, hi.

The suffering of maining Tira in Soulcalibur IV having faded, I was longing for a new fighting game recently, and hearing of my main's buffage I return to the franchise!

Now without the dismissal of anything more difficult than a diagonal input.
Which has improved my experience tenfold.
I main Tira, as you'd expect, (god, I adore these buffs...) but Fahros's videos also have me using Mitsurugi on the side.

There was also a prompt somewhere to give information about myself.
I think.
So, I'm variously disabled, an artist, (imaginary stuff, possibly since detailed vision ends a little past my sketchpad), awake far too late and greatly obsessed with horror media of all stripes.

Nice to finally sign up after lurking for a while!

Aww... I'm sorry to hear about your disability, but nobody will think less of you for anything! The fact is any fighting game player is welcome as long as you're a nice person! =] Tira is a fun style to main! We have a lot of Tira experts on this board, and even a Tira player won EVO 2012 (shining Decopon) keep at it!

Thank you.
I'm not sorry about it, though; it's really come to be a part of my identity like any other difficulty, in the same fashion a short temper or difficulty with maths might.


Aye, I've watched Decopon's win; I'm still trying to find the right balance of poking and combos with my own Tira. Though watching Decopon has helped me in other ways.

I didn't actually used to follow up my moves, stuff like 1A to Gloomy 66B or Gloomy 4A to 2AB, and had a tendency to withdraw instead of pressuring even when I'd floored someone.

Good to see you, Retribution.

Welcome to the site Retribution. Always nice to see a fresh face around here.
Tira is a fun character to play, though I don't see many Tira players around. Mitsu is another good character to use and once you start getting really good with him he is a lot of fun. But should you need help, The Soul Arena is where you want to go should if you have questions about characters and such (that is if already didn't know that. Hahaha.)
But I'm happy to help if you have any questions about the site or characters you might be interested in.
Hope to see you around!
