Aim for the TOP!!! Spring Fighter Tournament and Countdown SSFIV!
I just grabbed 3rd place at the NYU Game Center Spring Fighter Tournament! So, its been ages I know, but I haven’t really been playing. Its not that I dislike the game, but work, and a lack of lobbies to play with friends really hurt things a bit. Other multiplayer games came out with full [...]
Aim for the Top!!!: GUTS UP!!! SF4CE – Part 9
So, as I may have mentioned before, I sometimes stop in Chinatown Fair and plop down a few bucks at the SFIV machines there. Win or lose, I’m usually miffed that I can’t test out my Sakura with that competition, so I decided to scope out some local tournaments and possibly enter. The first one, [...]
Aim for the Top!!!: SCRUB UP!!! SF4CE – Part 8
Well…I’m in G1!… I guess that counts for something… I’m getting more consistent, and a bit more aggressive, but still keeping up with my zoning. As expected, I caught quite a few beatdowns in G1, it seems that the long time it would take to grind up into this bracket has done a fair job [...]
Daigo “THE BEAST” Umehara Takes EVO Street Fighter IV
Congratulations to Daigo and all of the competitors in EVO! What an awesome year for fighting games, and an amazing tornament. So many amazing match ups, surprises, and upsets. It was really great. Daigo beat Justin Wong once again at EVO, but he made him earn it going the full set as Justin clawed his [...]
Aim for the Top!!!: BEAT-UP!!! SF4CE – Part 6
It’s been a while, my play time of late has gotten cut back a bit. But no matter, I’m still just as excited to play. My return to the game was welcomed by several beatdowns though. Trying to find information about Sakura is a pain, as there aren’t too many videos of her online, and [...]
Aim for the Top!!!: ARCADE-UP!!! SF4CE – Part 5
I got a couple more tournament wins under my belt, but as far as playing for keeps it was a light week. Grats to Jimmy for jumping into the G2 bracket! Welcome to the next beatdown hehe… I recently took a trip to Chinatown Fair, and sat down with the machines there. The competition wasn’t [...]
Aim for the Top!!!: MATCH-UP!!! SF4CE – Part 4
Still plugging away in G2, though I’m closing in on 4k points. Since I’ve come to the conclusion that I’m going to spend quite a bit of time in G2, barring I experience a game play epiphany, I’ve decided over the next few entries to look in on some of the match ups that come [...]
Aim for the Top!!!: FREEZE UP!!! SF4CE – Part 3
The G2 bracket is quite a challenge, its only the my second night in it and I have a feeling I’m going to be here a good, long while. The matches are usually really close, , though I wish it was best of 5 or 7 to allow for adjustments in playstyle. I ended up [...]
Aim for the Top!!!: RANK UP!!! SF4CE – Part 2
I didn’t get as many matches in this week, but managed to win a couple tournaments. One memorable moment was losing a first round match to a runaway Akuma/Gouki, I got cocky and then frustrated, never a good combination, especially since I’m still rocking super fragile Sakura.
