Thank you all street fighter fellows for the fights, I learned 'A LOT' (and I mean it). To be honest I don't really like defensive/crouching/turtle/charging characters (used by humans) such as Guile, M.Bison, Balrog, Blanka, Vega and so forth because I find it difficult to defeat them :].

I'm always on the offensive/'ultra combo' aggressive side because that's my style for using characters like Akuma. If no one attacks the game would be 'boring' lol...
I get beaten up most of the time but as long as I can enjoy the game in my style nothing else matters .

The turtle guy stated by my brother is a fellow forumer. He used Akuma against my Akuma, if I just stand or crouch there he would do NOTHING except 1 or 2 rare hadoukens sometimes, and it would be the 'staring' fight. I still can't believe I lost to him multiple times when I first fought him, maybe I wasn't familiar with the defensive style . And I defeated him recently in a match of 5 rounds, and I used mostly GRAPPLEs LOL.

Just to clarify;

Balrog is NOT a defensive character. He's strongest on offence. I just haven't practised with the game enough to get the most out of it.

Practising safe ways to attack is important though. And when something doesn't work anymore, don't keep using it. Remember when I mirror matched Balrog yesterday and he kept catching me with the Turn Around Punch (TAP)? Had to stop doing attacks as he got up.

Btw, you should look into usin the Raging Demon as an anti cross up attack. Not sure if it would work (if Akuma turns around or not) but seems like a good idea.

Balrog is crazy on offence. Absorbing hits during his charge moves is by far the sickest thing I've seen in a SF game.

No wonder mike tyson can absorb hard punches during his prime

sigh ...

by the way ... i m a guile user also ...

Sorry if you think I was being rude, I've made some typing errors in my post. I just 'tried' to describe your style LAST TIME a little bit. I never said anything about newb or noob. I also want to say thank you because I learned something when fighting against you, patience is good if we know how to use it.

Just take it easy and enjoy the game.

I've been trying to use the Raging Demon against cross up attacks but sadly most of the time it doesn't work T_T because AKUMA refuse to turn around! I tried doing the input in the opposite direction and it doesn't work. At least I could run away and still keep a distance :], but it's a waste of the ultra combo so I won't do it anymore.

Actually, on being defensive, turtling is a style which has been much discussed, debated, disinterpreted and digressed since the days of past.

The player who would simply just crouch his/her own end of the corner and bank-in on opportunities aka mistakes by the other player, is usually the least popular person in any match with an audience. Just because he/she doesn't show any flash, proactiveness or initiative to make the attacking move does not mean he/she has lesser skill. Over the years I have grown to accept this style of play even if I find it irritating. Turtling requires plenty of patience and concentration, as the intended effect is to bait your opponent to give in to come forward.

I faced a really good Japanese Claw user on PSN a few days ago, and he was so good at being defensive, aka TURTLING and at the same time excellent at prioritizing his pokes and footsie game I fell for almost all his tricks, when he went all out for the offensive. His timing for cross-up (on me waking up) EX Wall Dive to Izuna Drop was flawless. To differentiate his play style, he later on switched to Ryu which was close to Daigo's offensive play style. What an experience.

Bottom line, I strongly recommend you guys to accept this defensive play style and to work harder to tactfully counter their tactics / break through their defence. Nothing's more satisfying than having a big lead in the round while they themselves play "catch up" when you turn the tide on them

EDIT: disinterpreted = misinterpreted.

Bleh, never a fan of defensive play for me. It is boring and time wasting. I prefer looking for ways on attacking and put pressure to the opponent. That's one of the things I do to be steady while playing.

When talking about Turtling, I will always remember Justin Wong. The best turtle player of all time.

You don't wanna see my old self of 100%. No one can turtle. hehehe

I'm looking forward to see someone like my old days. Currently, I'm 70% and I can't do certain things that require reflexes.

heh Aiman he tried the anti cross up raging demon, and as you could see last night, all Akuma did was run away by spending his ultra... lol
even if he does go to the right direction once in a blue moon there's a big chance of missing it coz the opponent is too close to the ground when performing a cross up and most of the time he would have enough time to jump away.

me and my brother are not fans of defensive styles, but we dun hate it, becoz though we dun play SF a lot over the years we are aware that there are some characters that easily make strong defensive styles.

we just dislike rounds that we lose on TimeOver with more than 70-80% health left for the opponent coz he could just crouch there forever. trust me there are ppl like that.

I know there're people like that. If that's what it takes to win, I'll do it.

Though I tend to use characters where that sort of strategy won't work for the most part.

Here is the BREAKDOWN of yesterdays Friendlt Matches...

Abel, were you the one with the Camera? Can you send me some picture please?

Hi everybody, I'm Peter the one who using guile yesterday. Instead of crouching heavy punch i use flash kick due to more damage so most of the time i was crouching. Sorry, I don't know if you guys was feel irritating. I'll put more effort on using guile to play more offensive and not to disappointed you all anymore. btw, I enjoy playing with you guys and i did learn something from all of you. I should hang out with you guys more frequently rather than playing online (tmnet su*ks) and robot. Hope to cya guys soon. ggs.
