    Makes sense, so you're mains then are cerebella and double? And are there videos of your play anywhere I could check out? Anyway, I'll stick with Filia then, like I mentioned I feel like I've been progressing with her much faster then I have been with squiggly, just caught me off guard when...

    Timid Training Transcript

    Well as memory serves the original reason Dime suggested I drop squigly for filia or double was because he goal was to get me to some day actually be good, and he said those were the two characters he knew were good when combined with cerebella. As he's the former evo top 32 (I even found some...

    X-D You were the one who had me drop Squigly for Filia... ... I always just assumed that was cause she was one of your mains so you knew her better then Squigly... ... lol ... I guess you did say you recommended filia or double, were you hoping I'd pick double and just through out filia...

    Timid Training Transcript

    For whatever reason I've never been able to pull off even the beginner version of that combo, but its worth noting that a long time ago I actually printed that flowchart out and had it sitting next to me while I'd grind away at trying to pull it off in training room for hours at a time. Its the...

    Teaching a game

    For the record, once its already made clear up front you're here to help them improve, I do think starting off with at least 1 all out match, and its likely resulting squashing is important. It serves two purposes. First, it lets you, see what you truly have to work with, do they exhibit basic...

    Teaching a game

    While you are free to your opinion, I personally feel this is the absolute WORST mine set to have. I'm not saying you should break your back bending over backwards for a player who has made it clear to you they intend to put in no effort, but this forum is also rife with people who expressed...

    Teaching a game

    I think different people learn in different ways, so the best teacher is the one who doesn't force their teaching style, but teaches to the need of their pupil. In my case, getting my butt handed to my teaches me nothing (or perhaps I should say I LEARN nothing from it), but I've had some very...

    Don't BS me, how HARD is this game?

    Air combo's have always been a struggle for me too, but for whatever reason I seem better at them in this game (that is to say, I can actually execute them occasionally as opposed to never) compared to most fighting games where air combos are involved, which is part of why I feel SkullGirls is...

    Don't BS me, how HARD is this game?

    I admit I haven't frequented Shoryuken in some time, but I used to be an active member of their forums, and was one of the most active and vocal members of the Cammy boards for a while. I was never really active in, but I did also use to frequent both Dust Loop and HomingCancel. Despite being...

    Training - Day ??? So was just practicing my basic cerebella combos (and also admittedly fooling around with squiggly as I haven't used her in months) in the training room when TheChrisMaxwell signed on and offered to do some training matches with me so we spent, I don't know, maybe an hour...

    Don't BS me, how HARD is this game?

    As the OP you were referring to... no I don't beg to differ. This game actually is one of the easiest combo fighters I've ever played. Its got a great tutorial and combo's are soooo much easier to master do to a very forgiving combo system with a focus more on memorization then 1 frame...

    Timid Training Transcript

    Interesting, well that's good to know that I should be aiming for 270% degrees, so in your opinion, if I want to throw out of a block (which usually means I'm holding down + back) I should first roll up (to back), then reverse directions and roll back down then to forward, then to up? I admit...

    Timid Training Transcript

    Just a little bit of training today but I'm afraid the results were not good, for whatever reason I can't seem to combo QCF+PP into Filia's uppercut super anymore, I don't think it ever missed once before but now it misses completely like 90% of the time and I've got no idea what I"m doing...

    Unpopular gaming opinions

    First off, I agree about links and CapnWTF is correct, many SF4 players will get flat out offended if you even suggest that the game might be better if the cancel system was altered such that links were removed and full or near full damage combos made more accessible to the masses. If they...

    Unpopular gaming opinions

    Yes, YES, a million times YESSS! I LOVE soul calibur, and while Soul Calibur 5 was tremendously under rated (other then poor match making it has one of the best online experiences I've found in any fighting game, which is amazing after how bad SC4s online was) a game that was once known for its...

    Unpopular gaming opinions

    Thats all well and good... except... I don't want any of that stuff. I just want to be able to play online like I did with my ps3 and continue to do with my PC, so I'm being forced to pay for services I have no intention of using to regain access to something I used to get for free. I also...

    Unpopular gaming opinions

    - Playing fighting games casually is not a sin against God and man and allowing casual fighting game players to exist in your community can actually help grow the non-casual community. - Prinny: Can I Really Be the Hero was not only good, but one of the best games released since the year 2000. -...

    Why do experts taunt beginners?

    Agreed, if anyone wants to debate this matter further for whatever reason, feel free to PM me directly, but this will be my last post in the thread (I'm heading to bed anyway). As a final thought, I'd like to emphasize one more time what dhocke mentioned earlier. You may not understand casual...

    Why do experts taunt beginners?

    I think I should change my previous statement from the community being anti-beginner to more being anti-casual. That was probably the main vibe I got from this thread, some people gave suggestions and I took them, but a lot of people continued to post often hateful posts seemingly only intended...

    Why do experts taunt beginners?

    I was just trying to recall off the top of my head all the arguments I've been given as to why people stopped attacking or even started running away from me in matches over the course of this length thread, in my defense its been quite some time since it was first created. I'd be lying if I...
