Yeah, uh, that training I was doing on SFIII... it was all Urien combos. Everytime I've played it in like the last two years was just to try and get down his combo rushes and Aegis traps (and is also the only reason I was learning to use a stick, because they're ten times as hard on a pad).

So basically, if I try to get back into this you'll probably hate me.

I was never able to control Dudley's combos very well but I also never put in a large amount of practice with him, and a long time ago I was pretty decent with Alex and Chun Li. I still like using Alex because he has a really interesting moveset with lots of nifty throws, even if he's low tier-wise. Makoto was interesting but I never really learned her because I didn't find out about her real combo potential until way late, she always came off as underpowered to me back in the days on my DC. Oh, how wrong I was about that (and how much I had progressed since).

I've been setting aside money for more important stuff but I'll see if I can't spare $30 sometime soon to sneak in a copy of this. I'd also been putting it off because even though it's got Live play it's not like I haven't played the hell out of these games before. Ah well.

Dude back in the day I used to be a huge Street Fighter head.. going to tourneys and the like, owning a SF2 champion pcb etc... then I got burnt out in a way and have never really touched anything beyond Turbo.. so I am WAY out of the loop and havent even really played SF2 or Turbo in almost 7 years.

Yet being on Live I had to grab it at $29.99...

Nah, I don't mind that stuff because it's at least interesting to watch. And Urien's not really overpowering without an anti-air he can use when you're right on top of him or any low combo starters.

In regards to the question of best place to buy adapter me and my friends always go to lik-sang.com.
When do you guys usually get on and do you like sf2 over sf3? I can't stand the wait time between switching games but I have to learn to be patient.

Just 3S, I can't stand to play SF2 anymore.

What a shame. Surely, someone as good as you could easily show off the "skills".

Anyways, I will play both (but I am on Hyper much more frequently)...and as long as the connection is decent, I am up to play a few matches on 3s.

I am going on in the next 15 mins. or so.

I suck at that clunky-ass cheese-fest, sorry. It wouldn't be much fun to play me.

I'm right with you there after seeing how Blanka and Honda have insane recovery after having their charge moves blocked.

The fact that a skilled player like yourself even acknowledges the game as "cheese" is highly amusing. Actually, I am not even going to get into it because everyone has different tastes -- I respect your decision.

Voltz: Care to specify a situation when both of those characters have their moves blocked (other than the obvious -- when a player literally is blocking).

I have been playing 3S alot recently. Im still sick of people who pick the same character everytime. 90% of the people i play pick either Ryu or Akuma everytime. How in the world can that be fun? Especially when these people have 100s of matches under their belt. Im not the greatest SF player in the world but at least trying out all the characters, trying to give these dudes a hint to maybe switch it up. oh well...

I have never played anyone online yet that has chosen Q. I pick him right off the bat and people fall for his first super move everytime. I love it.

I actually met a player who refused to play me cause he said my "record sucks". He was one of those 3000 wins out of 3030 matches players. He declined my challenge like 6 times in a row - what an ass.
