My spot!

#4

How long on the overall rankings after tonight?

#5

My Ultra Spot!!!

#6

Rankings will be done shortly, I imagine. I’d say give me 30 minutes to an hour and they’ll be up.

#7

Damn, your so slow man. Almost as slow as you play DDR, haha.

#8

I’ve been debating switching to a beefier character until I learn the console timing a bit better. I wanna keep a rush down playstyle mainly because I get bored otherwise, you think Rufus might be a good suggestion?

#9

Nice work, glad you used my thread as an example and template for your format. :tup:

#10

Sentinel - Rufus is a pretty good pressure character. If you like being on top of someone constantly I’d go with him.

Shin Rotendo - Thanks for the help man. We now have a new/better home, haha

#11

Sadly enough, Viper is a character you have to be 100% with. That’s why I don’t use her, hah.

#12

Add my info:

iTorres (Little Rock; PSN: iTorres23)

#13

Shin- Thanks so much man. Great to have you as a mod. If you have any other advice, let me know.
Da Mango- Rufus is a good character for rush-down. Have you also considered Balrog?
iTorres- Will do.
Panda- You’d be happy to know that rankings are UP. Here’s a link (and I’ll update the OP).

giddy up. new thread … wheres the fancy new title?

to answer a few questions …

-yes i am going to tulsa for jenks tournament.
-im almost ready to book my plane tix for evo. gonna wait til my next credit statement clears and hope the tix price stays the same at 200$
i may be going with local friends here so i don’t know about sharing a room anymore and they aren’t exactly the fighting game type, more like CoD MW2. we’ll see how much sf i can get in while balancing my gambling / clubbing
-max, yuo can post my GT / PSN in the main post since i already have that posted in my profile. you can also include it to have people contact me for info on get-togethers in NWA.

#15

Dlimited: Done and done.

#16

Hell yeah! I was hoping I’d be a little higher. I guess I need to stop sucking.

#17

Pssssshhhhhh, imagine how I feel blowing the stupidest crap. It’s like I’m really an online ken player!

Scrubby tactics? Scrubby skillz? Scrub deez nuts!

#18

Practice makes perfect! I’m actually practicing execution now, haha.

#19

It’s totally the PC man, I did 20 FFF combos back to back just now with sjc cancels into sweep or ultra. I have no way to really practice on a console and it’s most def different.

#20

Yeah, maybe you should look into getting a console? You can find PS3’s for cheap on amazon or craigslist. Any tournament around here is going to be Console only.
