OMG wtf I suck. I just went from 1,200 bp to 500. I couldn't do any moves. Nothing would come out and I was just being scrubby. It took like 2 hours to get it back to 900.

When I was in my losing streak my blood was boiling. I could feel the heat in my face. Sadly the angrier I get the worse I play. Should have stopped but I was being stubborn.

Got my 100 online win though

Yup, I'm the same way.

Last friday I went from 1400 down to 600. Now I'm at 1500. Some days its just not there, and other days everything seems to click. I tend to try to "warm up" by playing unranked matches before diving into ranked matches for the night.

I have a feeling I will be extra streaky playing as Akuma.

Yeah I typically just turn it on and jump into ranked. I think I need to stop doing that. The timing is so strict I think I need to warm up a bit.

Goddamn do I suck at this game.

i hate that feeling too.

i went from 1600 to 1100 and am only back up to like 1350 now heh. and i too like you, get frustrated and continue to do worse. the worst part is losing to people you know you can beat.

on another note, i faced this guy yesterday who was Ryu but he had the alt costume and had his shirt off. it looked pretty badass.

however, the guy was damn good. he was just very hard to get in on. first round he pummelled me. i mean he didn't outright crush me real quick, but i just could hardly even hit him. he won w/like 40 seconds left in the round.

the second round we went down to the wire, with like 10 seconds left and he had like 5% health left when he hit me with a fireball that i was just dumb about and didnt block it.

then after he beat me, i saw his score, and dude had 4400bp. the funniest part is, he only got 1BP for beating me and I only lost 1BP for losing to him haha.

How do you get the custom multiplayer titles/icons on the PS3?

Please add me to the list as well: mAdMaLuDaWg

Just keep playing and stuff will get unlocked. You get tiles for completing the combo challenges for each character too.

Ah, thanks...I know of akihabarashop, but just assumed that shipment from overseas would take longer than LL. Who knows. ugh.

My last order I got in about 8 days via regular air shipping (helps I live in CA I guess?). I've ordered via EMS before as well and that came in about 3 days. Those were because I ordered the day he was placing his order for parts. I think right now he's ordering parts 2-3 times a week. LL is so backlogged I'm afraid my order of 2 weeks ago won't come in for another 2 weeks..

Ugh...guess I'll go with AS. I'm going to order PCBs through LL though, hopefully those aren't in the same backlog as the buttons and sticks.

Sorry purbeast. I wasn't able to get on until later last night. I played as Dhalsim for fun, and encountered this other guy that played Dhalsim a lot better than me. All he did was turtle and run away. First 2 matches I was pissed! Then after that I wised up a bit and decided to just learn and mimic the other guy's movements and learn to play similar to him. It was fun. Granted, I lost another, what... 6 rounds as Dhalsim versus his Dhalsim, but eventually I learned enough about his strategies that I finally won!

Wow I heard alot of those players are disconnecting because if they win they get 1bp and if they lose they lose like 500. I haven't come accross anyone with more than 2000.

 

[Sniper82]

lol I just played a match against someone with Akuma and all they wanted to do was his fireball from the air and ground. I could not get close to him. First round he beat me bad because of it, he continued with the same stuff second round so I said the heck with it and started throwing them high and low constant(Sagat) and he couldn't keep up so now he tried to get close without much luck. I just continued doing it till he wanted to get close enough for some close range combat. I ended up winning which was funny.

No point to the story really other than I wish ppl that picked Akuma would mix it up a bit. Most Akuma players I come across ends up being a 80-90% fireball match.

well akuma has the best zoning tactics in the game so you can see why people try that, and it's pretty easy to do. seems it flustered you pretty easily

but yea, you really see how people are when they get in close.

most akuma players i face do what you are saying, then all they try to do is pull off his ultra.

the thing is, his ultra is so easy to avoid if you are somewhat decent at the game, and it leaves akuma open BIG time.

someone tried it to me yesterday (i was akuma too) and i simply jumped back and hit him with a kick as i came down, c.lp, c.mk, light hurricane kick, fierce dragon punch.

 

[Sniper82]

I have yet to try him, I'd like to but I still need to unlock him. When I got the game I played online first thing lol. Yeah his ultra is very easy to avoid especially if they are bit off from you.

It says I've unlocked a few but I can't figure out how to change my title/icon. Right now its just grey.

It doesn't matter where Akuma is, he could be up in your face and you could still jump over it. Also, if he's just spamming air fireballs, focus dash cancel through it. Let him know that his zoning tactics are only building your ultra meter for free. If he comes to chase you down then keep in mind sagat has a much more deadly close up game, and even a simple tiger knee will take off a large chunk of his health. Generally what I do is chase after akumas since their air fireballs are incredibly weak. Focus through his air fireballs and force him to try and use his 3 hit fireball which has incredibly long start up. You can easily punish his 3 hit fireball if you're within 1/2 screen of him.

 

[Chrono]

I think the people that annoy me the most are those that turtle. Oh man. WTF is this? It's a fight, not a run away and hit the guy periodically kinda thing.

When you get into the xbox live game menu, before you pick player/ranked hit the RB or R1 button. It actually tells you at the bottom of the screen what button to hit. Here you can change title and icons.

 

[banksh0t]

can you add me to the xbox live list:

banksh0t84

Im around 1550 bps and around 60% winning. Add me so i can get some practice please.

 

[Kabob]

correction: I've yet to win a round

its just so laggy

 

[mxyzptlk]

omg do you get 1000+ for your first win because I've yet to face anyone with less than that...Still at 0

edit: yea I'm terrible at this game.

Question, is there parrying like in sf3, or have I just been wasting my time?

 

[BRObedoza]

There's no parrying, and your points vary based on how high a level your opponent was when you beat him. I haven't been over 250bp myself since I suck... pretty bad.
