Shotos aren't even the problem for him. It's that he only outright beats a few of the top and upper mid characters...Sim, Rufus, Gouken, Bison, and that's about it. Gief vs. Sagat and Seth are two of the most lopsided matchups in the whole game. And from what I hear, the Japanese now think...

alright, my shot at an overall console tier list... top = sagat, viper, seth, akuma, ryu, dhalsim upper-mid = gief, balrog, rufus, blanka, bison, gouken mid = chun, fuerte, cammy, gen lower-mid = ken, honda low = guile, abel, fei-long, sakura, dan, vega, rose discuss

Seth can do just about everything, and he has the tools to handle almost any situation. Focusing on defense since that's obviously the issue with him... - Reversal teleport is golden at midscreen, just KILLS Fuerte's mixups and such. Only thing is that there is a risk of punch teleport...

east coast marvel player "demon hyo" has been caught doing this multiple times keep in mind that this was the same guy who "accidentally" reset the game in evo top 8 when sanford was beating him down also, since i feel like doing a quick random post, here are my predictions on where the...

you clearly do NOT know how the SF community works, lol People there do not ban anything except as an absolute last resort. Let me put it this way: In HD Remix, Bison has an ambiguous crossup that leads to a 100% combo from either side, and this works on almost every character in the game...

Here's the latest Japanese tier list (arcade version only) courtesy of Tougeki Damashii magazine: Top: Sagat, Viper, Akuma, Zangief High: Ryu, Balrog, Rufus, Blanka Upper-Mid: Bison, Dhalsim, Chun, Ken, Abel, Honda, Fuerte Mid: Guile, Vega No, those are not typos...there is no low tier...

you know what strikes me about caliburforum? hardly any of the admins even play SC anymore! lots of pining for the days of 1 and 2...

Fate/Unlimited Combos Also, this game was made by the people who did the Gamecube/Wii Naruto fighters, which explains a lot.

I don't give two shits about the "console wars" or whatever, but I do find it interesting that this is the first console generation where there isn't a uniform tournament standard. Sure, in Calibur it's always PS3 (although there are even exceptions to that, i.e. Michigan), but elsewhere it's...

All the NES Ninja Gaiden games were just memorization. And Bart vs. the Space Mutants? Really? I legitimately beat that game forever ago, which I never managed with Battletoads. There IS a very hard Simpsons game, though...Bart's Nightmare. Also, a top-tier difficulty NES game you've never...

The thing with Battle Fantasia is that it was originally intended to play more like Super Turbo than anything else. There is a very interesting Arcadia interview with the lead designers of the game where they talk about wanting to create a new game that would go back to footsies instead of...

congratulations, you win the thread

SF4 seems a million times better than 3s to me. I played a bit of it at Evo and it was real fun. Boxer is beastly, not stupidly so like in ST but in a strong well-balanced way. It's definitely one of the games I'm most excited for. Also Fuerte's infinite will not break the game, mark my...

They really need to fix the recovery on normals or else this game is gonna suck hard. If you don't believe me, search for Arturo vs. Justin matches on Youtube. Practically all they do is airdash, because every ground string is unsafe. This looks real fun otherwise, and I'm optimistic that...

Thanks! To be fair, I did get one of the easier pools and I play a top-tier character (Balrog). Still not on the level of the West Coast old-schoolers, but I don't get completely embarrassed by them now. But my point in this wasn't to toot my own horn. Rather, it was to demonstrate that...
