edit: Lol at yeb messing around in training mode, 72 hit combo with Gen with infinite meter. :pac:

Cunny-Funt

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.

K.O.Kiki

gooteck$.com

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

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.

Doctor DooM

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



Seriously.

Doctor DooM

There's a Dan player coming up! awesome.

D4RK ONION

Great quality stream, thanks Doom...

Kirby

you watching this at the moment? Blanka vs Honda. Its HILARIOUS!. they are just staring at each other, holding their charge.

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

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

Kirby

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:

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....

D4RK ONION

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

Doctor DooM

I hate when counter picking works.

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

D4RK ONION

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

K.O.Kiki

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

Dreddybajs

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

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.

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:

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.

FoamyMushroom

Valle out of 5 beat him in only one round, Plus valle was commin from losers...

Winner got a Akuma Statue only 20 in the world, MVC2 Custom Arcade stick, Vinal of some game sound track, and the prize money which I dunno how much it was xD

Lucky bastard..

Dreddybajs

Ricky Ortiz is brilliant, haven't seen that much of him in SF4 but he's always been quality in 3S.

Their prize money was about the same as ours believe it or not. Obviously the stick and statue went with it too.

Surely they got a much better turn out than ours?

Dreddybajs

They tend to have much higher turnouts but lower entry costs (they also have singles/teams tourneys, and tournaments in a lot of other games generally).

Ye it was a tenner per game. Ricky won 3 tournaments so id say he got a decent bit of money.

Sagat06

not a tournament thread but Starnab and some other top french players streaming offline casuals at the mo

This is not actually a stream but good vids nonetheless.

Watching Mago (Sagat) vs. Infiltration (Akuma) almost makes me wanna give up sagat!

FoamyMushroom

I heard Momochi been mentioned a good few times.. should be interesting haha

chopperbyrne

Not connecting for me.

Yeah, the power of swedish internet. Don't underestimate it.

K.O.Kiki

LOL.
I put on the stream during a "riveting" Dhalsim mirror match. :rolleyes:

chopperbyrne

That match confused me.

Maybe I miscounted, but to me the guy who "won" only appeared to tie it at 2-2 when he stood up.

chopperbyrne

Ryan Hart and his fairly aggressive Sagat win the tournament.

Absolute class match that one, loved seeing Infiltration bait the reversal DP from Mago. Great show by both players.
