I entered as "Luis", because I didn't feel like spelling out my gamer tag in a loud bar.

I lost against a reeeeally solid Sim. I haven't played many Sims now that I think about it, but I just couldn't get in on him! I also learned a valuable lesson: button check thoroughly. Turned out my 3P and 3K buttons weren't bound 😞

I stayed around to play some casuals and it was a really great time. Any goons that are hesitant about going to their locals: just go! Doesn't matter if you're bad. Everyone was so nice and just happy to have more people around.

Another nice thing is I'm now like 20000x more motivated to get better.

Hey man, I was there too! Registered under my SA tag and went 0-2 hah. If I didn't have to get ready for a trip to Tahoe I would've stayed around after getting bodied. Will also be back next week.

Three quick things:

Stop jumping back. Space is important in Street Fighter, and you're giving Cammy all of it. If you want to take a defensive posture, hold down back. If you need to make space, walk back.

Only do hurricane kick at the end of a combo or to go through a fireball. If it's blocked you're going to eat a lot of damage.

Stop pressing crHK. Your go-to low attack should be crMK canceled into fireball. At the Rookie level it's pretty safe to just do that every single time. Get it in your head to do crMK then the fireball motion, even if you think it's going to be blocked or if the crMK might whiff the opponent entirely. You should never press crMK at the Rookie level without tacking on the fireball motion afterwards.

I don't understand how to cancel an attack into another attack. Are you saying that I should just crouch and press medium kick immediately followed by a fireball?

Yes. Try it in training mode. Set the dummy to guard after the first attack and practice crMK into fireball. If you do it correctly it should be a two hit combo. If you do it incorrectly the dummy will block the fireball. You can find a lot of online Youtube resources to help you with the execution side of things if you have any trouble.

I'm watching Winter Brawl X and seeing Cammy repeatedly getting her poo poo kicked in so a part of me is starting to feel like dropping her and just playing Nash or Bison. Like, Bison's everything is at advantage on block and that's just nuts.

I'm starting to loose faith in the Killer Bee. I wish she had an overhead and her old st.RH from previous games. Her new RH is really weird and I can only really seem to use it to get crush counters from whiffed DPs and sometimes jump ins but it's really risky to use an an anti-air. Her sweep also works as a crush counter but what good is that because you're not gonna be able to combo after it.

Yeah... but I kinda feel like he just does crazy random poo poo though and either wins big or blows up. See: his Seth.

I'm wondering if I should stop being a sad whiny baby and just deal with it or drop her, I dunno. I went 0-2 at my last two tournaments and watching Cammys get crushed over and over in Winter Brawl is making me feel a little down in the dumps.

Toward the end of SFIV Poongko's Seth was really solid and a lot of the stuff that he did that looked like hard reads were in fact situations that were heavily weighted in his favor.

Playing my friend who is superior at fighting games has been frustrating. I'm Vega and he's Karin. Once I get put into the corner I get destroyed when I can play footsies I do a lot better. What's the best way to improve my anti airs? Just a lot of matches? I'm not reacting to any at all.

when they jump, try to hit them with the button you use to hit jumping people with, and then do that every time

just hit it, beat yourself up for not hitting it, and keep doing this until you hit it without thinking, then people starting baiting your antiairs with divekicks so you start thinking about it again and maybe fighting games are dumb

Im really digging this game. I didn't like sf4 when I first played it and could never get into it, but this one feels exciting and fresh again. I used to play 3rd strike like a fanatic.

i still have yet to try karin, chun li, dhalsim, vega, birdie and bison... i do find it a little weird getting locked into a character before every online match; it makes switching guys up a little bit of a chore.

im a little worried about new char pricing. I feel I'm playing this a lot - if I find out I can't afford the new characters I'm worried I'll burn out, since the season pass is pricey, as well as the idea I want to get a joystick too. Did they say how they're pricing new characters and what is the currency in game? Wondering how much I have.

well operant conditioning tells us the most effective way to remove a stimulus response is to try and replace the existing conditioning with an opposite one. ie trying to associate jumpins with an action that isnt jab or whatever you mash, for instance dp. that works out great since dp is good answer to everything and an automatic win button. or block i guess

It's 100'000 fight bucks (the one that isn't league points) for each. The update with the store and all that should also introduce challenge mode where you can earn currency quicker than in normal matches.

They're only dropping one character a month I think, so if you go through the dumb story mode with everyone you'll have enough for at least the first one. If you also play survival there shouldn't be a problem affording everyone without paying real money.

For reference, I've played the game for a week, have completed two story modes and survival on easy and normal with my main character, I'm currently at 35'000.

Pro is an amazing name!
Completing story mode with every character is 160k, then easy survival is another 160k, and then normal survival is yet another 160k

Sure, normal survival is a bit more tedious, but the game gives us 480k of points, which is nearly 5 characters, for free

I'm in eager anticipation to see what Alex, Guile and Balrog are like. Then I can take a nap for when Ibuki and Juri come out and get hype for Urien.

I'm willing to bet that Akuma, Sagat and Sakura will be in Season 2. And the other 3 will probably be out of the blue obscure characters. I'm hoping for Q, Rolento, Sodom, Dee Jay or Mike Motherfucking Haggar.
