Oh shiiiit, I was all pumped to go to a big tourney today but I just realized my stick is PS3. Tourney is PS4. Is that not going to work, or will it be difficult to use?

flakeloaf posted:Pausing a tournament so some guy who'll finish eleventeenth can gently caress around with his mangy bespoke poverty stick is a good idea. That's my concern; I'd feel like an rear end fiddling with settings for 5 minutes just to get perfect'd twice in a row (the likely scenario). But there's also a huge amount of worry in the FB event page about how DS4 controllers need to be manually desync'd after every fight and failure to do so is punished with a loss. So it doesn't sound like PS3 sticks are the only problem. Asking on the event page, we'll see what they say.

Went to a tournament on Monday in MD at a Thai place. It was 40-50 people, and I was feeling comfy under the assumption it was mostly newcomers like myself. When I started watching casuals I saw a surprising amount of mistakes and/or non-applicable SF4 strats being pulled under pressure. Also a good sign. Tournament was double-elimination so I gave myself maybe a 20% chance to win at least one match. First match was my Ryu against Bison and I got wrecked. (Not a lot of people were playing him well in online casuals during the launch week, probably because he's so different now, so I didn't anticipate how much he fucks up Ryu when played properly.) I almost got a round in so I felt good about that. In retrospect I should've pressured him way more. I don't know how to do that well with Ryu but the alternative was eating my own fireballs so... Regardless, first tournament match and my ego was still intact. I actually won the second match in losers. It was a Ryu mirror in more ways than one; we were both trying to shake SF4 flowchart Ryu from our habits and our play-style was incredibly similar (and rusty). I won the match with (not exaggerating) a pixel of health with 1 second on the clock in the 9th round. I was at 15% to his 30% and felt confident he'd slip up trying to finish me, but then I realized there was only 6-7 seconds left. I yelled "OH poo poo TIME" and jumped in, which lead to us throwing hard normals randomly, and the right one just happened to connect for me. e: (My yelling about time didn't distract the other player or anything, we were yelling and joking about our fuckups the whole time which was nice.) It was a crazy and totally undeserved adrenaline rush and I loved it. The next losers match came really quickly and I got pretty thoroughly demolished by a Laura. The Lauras online haven't been nearly as tricky so far. Still, 1 for 3 is better than I was expecting. They're starting a 9-week league that I might try to attend most of, even though it's an hour away and on weeknights. I guess I'm a little hooked at this point. fart barterer fucked around with this message at 20:45 on Feb 25, 2016 |
