Interesting, thanks for sharing. I'm going to refrain from commenting on rog play specifically, but if the ground game isn't working out against a strong opponent, you got to random it out IMHO lol. Desperation jump-ins are just a facet of the random toolbox. I guess it's always discouraging when you miss so many blocks like against FM though.

By the way, this arcade SSF4 image with blank ovals in the character select screen is confirmed apparently:

Apparently there was a news post (that was quickly deleted) on SRK about the itinerary for Comic-Con and it mentioned that Rolento and Alex will both be playable in SSF4.

We've been streaming our casuals and "ranbats" (which aren't really ranked

) for the past couple of weeks. I'll post a link to the stream here on Sunday, assuming we run it again then.

If anyone has comments on how I can improve my commentary, then let me know 'cause I'm trying to stop sucking at it.

I host a tournament that is every two weeks or so in connecticut called project-failure, its usually on friday nights and its going down tonight, we have a live stream that you can view at project-failure.org or justin.tv/projectfailure , we also do liquibet style live bets on the stream matches, as well as some pretty decent commentary.

it started out pretty small (around 16 people) but because of the location we regularly have NY/MA/NJ players coming in, and its usually around 40 people per tournament now. with some really decent players.

if you dont have anything to do tonight, you can definitely check us at , we usually start the stream up around 8pm EST, and the tournament starts around 9pm EST, we usually run all night.

if yuo're anywhere close the area , i totally recommend coming down and checking one out in the future.

Hey, what channel do people watch their good quality SSF4 matches on?

I used to go to youtube/frameadvantagedotcom and youtube/heartofbattle but both of those have since stopped updating.

smoai is by far the most active account and has vids from both replay channels and godsgarden.

Raknos1982 is a new account and has been uploading really nice vids.

Tried youtube.com/user/akumahokoru? Team Spooky has some pretty regular tournament updates with pretty fast turnaround times.

This afternoon, we're going to be streaming our SSF4 tournament live. The tournament will start around 4. I won't be commentating today, so that's one more reason to watch.

lol! I'll be tuning in for sure.

...last broadcast 3 minutes ago, did I JUST miss this!?

In other news, last 2 tournaments I've played I got put out by ryu players. First one I realized some stuff I was doing wrong and adjusted, but the last one I'm not 100% where I'm going wrong and I feel like I'm playing the match a little wrong. Also I have no idea how to use TAPs correctly so I don't use em, that probably accounts for part of it, lol

Any feedback greatly appreciated

Edit: bill's stream just came up, nvm
Edit2: oh shit bill playing fei long on stream!

At least I assume this Bill is our Bill =P

Edit3: wtf bill I thought you played cody.

Trumpet, here's some ideas after watching, though I'm sure you should take with a grain of salt since my Balrog and Balrog vs. Ryu is worse than that...

TAP through close-range fireballs occasionally, and maybe occasionally instead of dash straight. TAP more than level 1 is dangerous as it can be punished on block typically, and it's bad if anticipated. I see that the only armor-breaking rush punch you used was the overhead, so some players may pick up on that and beat the straight/upper with a focus. With TAP and well-spaced ground smash you can discourage focus, but that wasn't really a relevant issue in that match.

It seems like overall you maybe gave the Ryu too much room and too much respect. i.e. walking backwards after crouch jabs, down-backing a lot, resetting by backdashing. As a consequence, the Ryu got to jump in when he wanted at the spacing he wanted, so you couldn't anti-air him consistently (much).

If the Ryu is fireballing, try predicting and ~~neutral~~empty (whoops sorry) jumping in at a wide angle away such that an antiair would be awkward or whiff. i.e. at the range where if he did fireball, a low-to-the-ground j.HP would tag the tip of the fireball-shooting hitbox. You can stick out the j.HP if the fireball did come out and combo into sweep. If the Ryu just sits there, land normally and block or start your offense.

hmmm some pretty good tips, thanks. I do definitely back off a little too much, I think its a symptom of getting dp'd to hell and back for trying offense the last tourney I was in lol.

Down back forever is just the way I play too, im bad at reading people for offense so I try to just frustrate them with defense / normals. It's a local thing to use the down back infinite in tourney matches around here xDD

I think I need to get a lot more throws going vs ryu, looking back I don't think I threw him much at all. Except of course when I threw him instead of doing a real punish and got called out on it =(( Gonna try to do more of those straight jumps, I'm just really scared to be in the air near ryu but I do know what you're talking about with the tip of the fireball range.

Also, WTF BILL OMG. Giving me a heart attack on the stream.
When ryu does u1 in your face, just jump forward to him, you have enough time to just hold up forward and then punish however the hell you want in his face. That ryu was kinda mashy, glad you won that out.

Oh whoops, I meant (empty) forward jump in, not neutral jump. Neutral jump at that range is usually going to be DP'd.
