Super-StreetFighter IV Team Battle Fun

RopeDrink

Been mulling it over in my head alongside some of the great 3v3/5v5 movies I've been watching even in basic SF4 and it comes up with the interesting thought of Irish SSF4 squads duking it out.

So, do you ever think you'd form an actual SSF4 team for said potential team-based tournies or just for general kick-about fun?

Even if you restricted it to Online and said feature isn't restricted to being sorted purely by GP/BP it'd be interesting to see if an Irish Online team even considered forming for the fun of taking the fight to other teams or just randoms - What do you think?

As a side discussion, who would you want on a team? Bare in mind that you could want players who represent a specific character whom you'd like in your varied matchups or ditch that idea and just go for preferred players, beit just naturally talented and/or have a wide plathora of characters under their wing.

In addition, excluding the new incoming SSF4 characters, what would you regard as a strong character 5v5 setup?

Think of this as a fun thread for fun discussion, not ego or "I Wan X on mah team coz dey awsum, real talk!"

EDIT:
I'm somewhat reluctant to take part in team suggestions as I barely get to play many folks here and I'm sure Offline experience will be an important point for a lot of folks - Plus the fact I'm too stubborn to play anyone other than Balrog which means I'm a little less versed in matchup / character specific talk.

Doctor DooM

I said it before. Wasn't kidding. Me and Kirby start team "zoning irritant".

Seriously ho much fun would a couple of Irish teams be?

chopperbyrne

Would be good fun to have a few set teams of four for some fun little comps.

I'd love to be involved in a North Vs South 5v5 tournament

We have to do this on the 5th.

Doctor DooM

Actually Guile's anti floaty skills might make him useful in a way to a team. Put him with a shoto and Rufus and you've a pretty tight team there already.

Leprekaun

Yeah, it would be good to try team style tourneys.

I think any strong team needs versatility of characters so you need to have a strong player for each range (e.g.: Good Zangief/Abel player for close range, Ryu or maybe Akuma for overall range and Fagat for long range)

Just as an aside and slightly off topic, there'll be more than 5 of us going down from the north so we can have a 5v5 as long as the tournament doesn't run too late.

Nice. I won't be going as money's a little tight for me right now, but I'll be very interested to hear how this goes.

Who is coming from up north Roogle?

Confirmed: Myself, Newtype, mr_kyle, LiquidSwords, LiquidSwords' brother, Blag, Cobelcog (although he'll be coming from Newry so probably will arrive at a different time compared to us). V-DecK might or might not be coming. Simon "The Truth" Lau may also make an appearance, I am constantly trying to convince him to go!

Team Zeus.


Think about it....

FoamyMushroom

I wouldn't mind been on a team at all, can use Akuma of course, and Hopefully Juri when SSFIV comes out!

Dreddybajs

Bush
Azza
Kirby
The Witch
Ken B

would be a good team for the 5-on-5 imo. Would put myself forward if one of those five can't play.

It's definitely a good mix of characters anyway.

Dreddybajs

Yeah, as well as being very good players I think it's a fun and diverse character selection, would lead to good matches!

I dunno. Heard that Bush guy is a scrub.


(yup thats the exact 5 I would pick and I would also sub you.)

chopperbyrne

What about Sagat006?

Subs bench. For Bush. I mean, we're talking about variety too here, right?

There's pretty much enough in our scene for 2 lethal teams now.

Oh also if there's more than 5 from the north we could just play a 6on6 or whatever the number is instead.

aww shucks

If your going for variety then Bush's Blanka has to be in there no questions asked, but if he wants to bring his Chun or Rufus to the party then I'd gladly play!

Wait til team scrub crosses your path. You'll be held up for like, 10 minutes!

Doctor DooM

Who wants in on team "Distinctly average"?

Xinkai

ROLLCALL FOR TEAM NUBCAKE!!!

Team Airthrow tbh.

Kirby

This forum is gonna come alive when Super hits. Online team games between the lot of us is going to be great fun. The only problem I can see is the console divide....that team couldnt happen because half are on ps3 and the other have 360 .

Perhaps when super comes out we should compile a list in a new thread of what format everyone plays one.

Or everyone could get the PC version!

Agreed but chances are it'll be on consoles 1st for awhile then PC

Cunny-Funt

Well your head will be wrecked anyway considering we're all gonna be playing it while your waiting for release.


Having said that, I own both the pc and ps3 version and the pc is way better. I also know more people on here on the PC than on the PS3 version. But a lot of the PC users on here are never on it, or also own the 360 and appear to be on that more :mad:

I go on PS3 to play doom kiki and bush. :cool:

Dreddybajs

360 is better than PC, I only go on PC to play people from here really.

Actually, considering that Foamy (and, kinda, myself) play Akuma -- think you can cut that time in half! :pac:

Add me to the team and we'll be only 2 players away from having The Akuma Team (The A. Team for short :pac:)

Our opponents won't know what hit them. It'll be like trying to cut through 5 pieces of butter with a hot knife.

Cunny-Funt wrote: »

The 360 version is in no way better than the PC version. There is just more people and a larger community (apparently) on the 360. That being said, I can never not find a game. I've never been waiting more than 20 seconds to get into a match.

bush

Im just going to get the 360 version this time, the ps3 version of sf4 is just annoying and its like a ghost town on there now.

Team Scrub is now:
K.O.Kiki (char: undecided )
FoamyMushroom (Akuma)
D4rk_Onion (??)
L31mr0d (Akuma)
ayjayirl (Ryu?)

Just make sure you come up to me on Sat as I have no memory for names/faces half the time :rolleyes:
