What's wrong with emulators???

Haha...I played it waaay back, too. And I went to great lengths to get my sf2 fix. Got busted by cops for being underage in the arcades. Skipped school, sneaked out of the house at 1am. Ran into trouble with gangsters. Picked up smoking. Luckily didn't pick up 'ma kei'...haha. Bought the chinese magazines with the move lists, even though I couldn't read it. Read the comics. Drew sagat doodles in my exercise books.

Then my dream came true...SSF2 came out on mega drive! I would have never left the house, but my parents banned me from playing except for weekends. So I stayed up till on fri nites till midnight ngam ngam...then turned on my mega drive. Those 6 button sega pads were really good, too. The d-pad was waaay better for fighting games than the PS3/360 controllers of today.

Stopped playing after alpha 3 and X-men vs SF in '99.

Fast forward to Feb 2009...and it's happening all over again...

wow.. am quite surprised there r lotsa players here from the 20-cent-per-game-with-player-sits-next-to-each-other era...

still remember when players insert coins as deposit while waiting for their turn, those malfunctions buttons, polices and gangsters etc etc..

nostalgia..

KARA actually means canceling a move to another move (can be normal, special, super or ultra) to gain distance advantage. Example, Ken canceling his forward+mk into a grab to gain distance.

Correct me if I'm wrong, GURU's.

I dunno but i've tried doing it with forward mid punch,
If the execution is fast enuf, you can't even see the mid punch come out...
I haven't fully tried but if i'm not mistaken, a reflex jump is all it takes to avoid...

^^ if the opponent is jumping towards you with a kick or something, then you can execute the Ultra RD, will most prob kena.

otherwise, I think the best "sure kena" way is to FA and execute the RD as the opponent is slumping to the ground

Wow, I'm gone for awhile and suddenly everyone's talking bout kara demons...haha.

This makes the F+MP kara demon great for wakeup, esp after an SRK and your opponent does a quick stand. However, kileak found a way to escape this (to my dismay)...just don't do quick stand...haha. The super RD will whiff.

Kileak - "I've experimented around with senzr, and because of the mid-punch animation, it locks you down in block-stun (assuming you're blocking), and you can't escape from that. We've tried it, and you can't jump out of it actually."

This is not completely correct, because you MUST enter the RD inputs BEFORE the chopping hand hits. This is true of any RD, the opponent CANNOT be in block stun or it will whiff completely. Your opponent will be blocking in the middle of the chop, but make sure the MP doesn't hit.

Unless you're Andrew. He can simply tech hit the Ultra RD once Akuma catches him. Even Akuma doesn't want to mess with him.

A SFIV player without friends are lame. you only have 1 brain..let your friends help you also..

doing secret trainings are hmm how to say..WTF?..you can win the battle but you lost the war.. ppl will think you are selfish, you are unfriendly and no one will root for you to win.

im improving and i let the whole world know, and i hope ppl can counter me ..thats how gaming is.. not afraid to lose, but afraid of not improving..hehe

HEHEHEE.....I am awaiting V6

Bro kileak, one day must spar with you as well
DAN VS DAN??? XD

I LOL HARDDDDDD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hahhahahhahaaa
