    ah this is still on , cool. calipower is Alex Valle , I know that much, and obviously gootecks.com is gootecks (what a sap putting the .com in your name)

    Really good stream although the sound is slightly off.


  • Registered Users Posts: 18,697 ✭✭✭✭K.O.Kiki


    gooteck$.com

    Poor guy hasn't won any tourneys lately IIRC, so he needs to get people to his site somehow.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,985 ✭✭✭animaX


    Good idea dreddy, I always miss these streams!

    Tonight at 10-ish if my calculations are correct (they could be wronnnnnng)

    No details yet as to who's fighting from FADC.com... although again I am hung over and could be missing the obvious.


  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 25,868 Mod ✭✭✭✭Doctor DooM


    Streams up and running, currently looking for an SF4 disc.



    Seriously.

    Yeah the commentary after the first chip was hilarious... "thats it! Realist wins!"


  • Moderators Posts: 8,678 ✭✭✭D4RK ONION


    Yeah, watchin' it here, the stare out was brilliant. Did you see (dandai) Ken vs Blanka (realist?), that was very funny, these commentators are brilliant! Hahaha, he's singing "I want it that way!" hahaha

    when I watch tourneys at this level, its hard not to think I could beat half of these fellows. Some of their execution is shocking.:pac:


  • Moderators Posts: 8,678 ✭✭✭D4RK ONION


    I've seen your replay in SF4 anyway Kirby, pretty sure you could too!

    There's a huge difference between the top tier there and the rest....


  • Moderators Posts: 8,678 ✭✭✭D4RK ONION


    RANDOM SUPER, RANDOM SUPER, RANDOM EX ULTRA AT LEAST, haha.


  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 25,868 Mod ✭✭✭✭Doctor DooM


    I hate when counter picking works.


  • Registered Users Posts: 13,084 ✭✭✭✭Kirby


    Don't have a problem with counter picking. Part of the game. You can't dictate who your opponent picks. You are like me doom. We only really play one character. But If somebody bisons or chun li's me, I have no problem with it. It makes strategic sense.

    I've go no problem with it per se- I just like seeing people succeed without doing it. No logic to it, just like underdog victories :)


  • Moderators Posts: 8,678 ✭✭✭D4RK ONION


    Great final, it's always good to see a skilful Ken.


  • Registered Users Posts: 13,084 ✭✭✭✭Kirby


    Indeed. Impressive Ken.

    Sagat is such bullcrap. He really is. If they don't balance him properly for super.....I might just join terry and start maining him. It's just so easy. Effortless to win with him as he is at the moment.


  • Moderators Posts: 5,554 ✭✭✭Azza


    His balance isn't that bad as the top tier character compared to other SF games, but he is clearly top of the pops.

    Doesn't have any 8:2 match ups or the like but had 4 or 5 7:3. Mostly 6:4's which are that bad.

    More than nerfing him buff everyone to his level.

    Don't agree with this. The rest of the cast have weaknesses. He doesn't. He has good Health. He does good damage. His short game is good. His long game is good. His zoning game is good. His air game is good. He has damaging combo's. He can combo into Ultra. His Ultra does good damage. The list goes on......

    As I said, if you pick any other member of the cast you can find a couple of big flaws in their design.....intentionally to balance them.

    The only thing they did was give him a slow walk speed, but that doesn't matter when you can tiger knee yourself safely accross the screen.....and have a Fierce Kick that controls half the screen.

    Also, looking at that list.....you could apply it all to Ryu too. The only saving grace there is that Ryu has less health.

    Don't get me wrong. I enjoy fighting against sagat as sim because its fun. Its challenging. But the dude is broken. Even Capcom admitted that.


  • Moderators Posts: 5,554 ✭✭✭Azza


    I'm not against nerfing him a small bit, but it would be unfair on the players who play him currently to nerf him drasitcally. If they got rid of juggle properties off forward +roundhouse and made his tiger knees less safe, I would settle for that. But more interested in buffs for the lower and mid tier characters.

    The entire cast is being tweaked, so we will have to wait and see what they do.

    NorCal regionals: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/iplaywinner

    Digital Mayhem (East Coast): http://www.ustream.tv/channel/fadc-live

    Both live atm. I'm watching the FADC stream as it seems better quality.


  • Registered Users Posts: 18,697 ✭✭✭✭K.O.Kiki


    Well of course it's better quality.
    They're EC players.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,229 ✭✭✭Dreddybajs


    Haha, I meant the video quality but yeah... :pac:


  • Registered Users Posts: 13,084 ✭✭✭✭Kirby


    Some dude nmaed Illiterate picked Dan against filipinoChamp and took a round off him. I love dhalsim players but filipino was taunting and taking the piss so it was brilliant when the dan player got him in the corner and beasted him. :D


  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 25,868 Mod ✭✭✭✭Doctor DooM


    Battlefield arcadia stream. T6 at the mo.

    A guy called Rick won the iplaywinner tourney.

    He was against Valle (Roo) and Valle didn't know what to do against Rufus :eek:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,878 ✭✭✭bush


    Ricky ortiz i presume. He won 3rd strike and cvs2 earlier when i was watching. Cvs2 was great to watch.

    Yup, as was also shown by Marn earlier in the year.

    Which is weird, since Ryu SHOULD beat Rufus 6-7 out of 10.
