WHERE MY HOSE DRINKERS AT

Finally watched through SF: Assassins Fist, and was surprised by how much I enjoyed it.

Nothing beats Raul Julia playing Bison/Dictator in my heart though.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PBc7yQXrP9c

edit: probably one of the best movie review quotes I ever read:

Richard Harrington of The Washington Post posted:

The film was "notable only for being the last film made by Raúl Juliá, an actor far too skilled for the demands of the evil warlord, Gen. M. Bison, but far too professional to give anything less than his best."

So that explains why he did not answer. He had no mouth to answer with. There is nothing left of him but his ears.

My first week in Japan during the summer of 2009 I stopped at a 7-11 to grab a snack and heard Indestructable playing over the store's sound system. More than anything else, that's when I knew I was really going to like Japan.

Does anyone by any chance know whether the generic USF4 theme they've been using for trailers is associated with a particular stage? I assume so, because the SSF4 trailer theme ended up being the Africa stage's.

It's still no Indestructible, though.

Halfpipe, I think.

Edit: wait no it isnt nevermind.

It's the intro video music.

The extended version is the main menu music.

The other music they're using in the trailers is the character select music.

Note: they own, but not as much as Indestructible, because nothing owns as much as Indestructible.

I have no idea why they haven't kept Indestructable. Hearing that awful awful pop song start up the first time, laughing, skipping it just to have Ryu making his grumpiest face in the main menu while the song played more is an experience that has stuck with me for years.

Oh my god, I seriously cannot believe how badly I've been doing online. My habit of jumping too much has returned, I'm falling to stupid poo poo constantly and panic when I can't immediately think of how to respond to it and the only people I can beat are people who are so obviously lost as me that I can find a way through it faster. This is really depressing, I thought I knew how to handle certain situations with Sakura, but I really just can't. That and I really don't understand how I'm supposed to get in on like a Bison or Makoto. I can't believe I've been playing this game on and off since 2008 and I still can't figure out everything I'm supposed to do with this character.

I know she's really good and I'm just bad, but I need to fight people better than me, because fighting people on my level pisses me off when I make stupid mistakes and then get angry and doom myself to failure from then on. At least against people better than me I know I'm outclassed so I naturally just pay more attention to the mistakes I'm making rather than someone who I feel I can reliably beat, but end up beating myself.

If you're losing to really bad Bisons and Makotos, this will help. A lot of Bisons online will have two ways of getting in: dash up throw and LK scissor. Neutral jump HK beats both of those things. Once you land that j.hk c.mk shoryu you're good to get up in his face and stay there. HP shoryu dash dash LK tatsu will stuff a reversal EX psycho crusher clean, leaving you free to complete a full combo. Doing the full 3x Otoshi in the corner followed by LK tatsu out of the corner, meaty LK tatsu is +1 on block (it hits late) and causes EX head stomp to whiff for another full punish.

For Makoto, buffering c.mk into shoryu will take you far, because like Bison she wants to make use of her really quick dash forward to start her pressure game. Your forward jump HP and HK also create awkward antiair timings and angles for Makoto, but you don't want to overdo this either. When she gets into axe kick range you want to either start pre-emptively focusing or doing a late neutral jump HK so that the axe kick misses you in the air.

Licensing issues. A legit Japanese boy band with a label did that song. Capcom's tried to get it back at least twice and couldn't swing it.

Even on console casual players get hype and swarm back in around Evo and major new versions! It's been a loooong time since AE hit too so it's the perfect storm. He who knows his 3F safejumps will not be defeated in a hundred battles.

I'm getting that message too but the game still works fine if you just ignore it. I assume it's trying to load my Ultra pre-order but since I don't have the unlock key it's complaining. Hopefully I'm right and that goes away after I get the key.

I know he's probably lying or exaggerating about 500 hours but I can't imagine playing this game for even 100 hours and getting super angry every time you get matched up with someone better who also knows good combos.

I'm not even gonna comment on the whole "people who practice a game to get better at it are turds" thing.

Yeah, the amount of hours you've played doesn't mean poo poo in Street Fighter. I think I've got 300 hours playing versus other players and I'm, frankly, awful at it. Still haven't bothered learning to execute link combos in a real match.

Also someone should show that guy a tournament match or something.

He actually despises people that watch videos and learn from them. Doing "frame combos" you learned on youtube makes you a turd.

My favorite quote:

quote:

No..no..no....no.....nooooooooooooooooooooo... Forget the combos. The combos are recently added features that were implemented to give all the crazy f*cking you know who's something else to get good at. I've played SF games for a long.. long time and the whole combo thing is *completely* counterintuitive.

The *ONLY* things you should be doing are the special moves.. thats it.

It's pretty easy to fall into a trap of being content with your skill level and not trying to improve. The longer you play, the more of a conscious effort needs to be made to improve, rather than the passive route of learning that takes place early on (passively learning things like how long certain attacks take, how long you have to punish, what people generally do at certain times, etc through playing).

Hadouken and shoryuken all day if you're a shoto.

If you're a grappler, just throw out random SPDs all day.

If the other person punishes your special move with a combo, they are a turd. gently caress this game, everyone is a turd.

Pushing certain buttons at the right time to get good damage on your opponent is BS.

I guess he's the kind of guy who will only sweep someone when they make a mistake, unless doing normals makes you a turd as well.
