I also have trouble learning how to attack without jumping, it seems like I get hit by random moves a lot of the time because I don't react fast enough. I probably need a better monitor, I suspect my monitor lags, but I don't think that's the main source of my problems (lol noob blaming equipment) ... Does anyone have a tip to stop jumping? I do it because I have higher success rate... I play Rose if there's some extra tips for her.  | ||

The first team europe is looking pretty damn strong, pretty much the top players except for v-ryu, which is quite a shame :<. Curious to see how good Xian is with gen too, he is supposed to be pretty damn good, but he havnt been playing gen for very long i think. | ||

I will hate seeing Champ getting bodied by the 2 Japanese teams just because of the character he plays. As far as his ability as a player goes he's as good as anyone on the U.S team - or any other team, for that matter - but Dhalsim has like 2 6-4 matches out of the 10 Japanese representative and the rest are 3-7 matchups. On top of that, almost every other team has a Yun or a Yang lol @@ Dunno why Justin picked Floe. He's mega free in high-pressure situations. I want to see who is going to go to Canada. The U.S has Flash, Juicebox, Strider, Valle, Pr Rog, Hsien Chang, Ricky O., Latif (he probably isn't going), and all of them would do better than Floe when it comes time to see who choke first. GL U.S.A, anyway. | ||

GL U.S.A, anyway. I gotta agree with you. Champ is one of the best Dhalsim's I've seen, but some of those matchups are terrible. Those two team Japan's...so scary, especially the first team. Should be a really great 5on5 tourney. Despite the matchup disadvantages I still like Champ on the US team. Floe though, eh, if Pr Rog, Latif, or Flash were going I'd have chosen one of them instead. They must not be though, I couldn't imagine you would pick Floe over any of them. The real question is Team Korea. 3 people, that are probably beasts, we haven't seen. Also, Xian's Gen should be interesting to see. I wonder how far he's come along. Is this Louffy's first tourney outside of Eu? I liked watching his rose back when I mained her. Especially back when he beat Daigo with her in vanilla, though I guess Daigo didn't have any matchup experience against her. Still should be awesome to see how he does against all the other players from around the world. Isn't he a pad player? Too bad Daigo isn't coming. Want to see more of his akuma. | ||

Like, what are the most prestigious tourneys, who the best players are, how are players rated (ELO? I've heard of BP, is that like iCCup ranking?), community figures (anyone the equivalent of Day[9]), etc. gootecks and mike ross are the main community figures imo daigo is the best player in the world BP is similar to iccup rank, yes useful sites: iplaywinner.com, shoryuken.com, option-select.com, eventhubs.com | ||

Like, what are the most prestigious tourneys, who the best players are, how are players rated (ELO? I've heard of BP, is that like iCCup ranking?), community figures (anyone the equivalent of Day[9]), etc. The most prestigious tournaments are Evo (Super Bowl of fighting games), Season's Beatings, NorCal/Socal Regionals, and Final Round in the US. Canada has Canada Cup (this weekend btw) and Japan has Gods Garden and SBO. Right now the top US players are Ricky Ortiz, Latif, Wolfkrone, Justin Wong, Dieminion, PR Balrog, I could go on but those are names to look out for. In the Japanese scene you of course have Daigo, but there are many other extremely strong Japanese players who have and can beat him consistently; Fuudo, Kazunoko, Nemo, Momochi, and to a lesser extent Mago and Tokido. Korea also has a presence in SF4 with Laugh, Infiltration, and Poongko. If I had to rank the skill by country it would go: Japan > US = Korea >> World In online rankings BP relates more to games played than games won, a more accurate representation of skill would be PP. Still the online play in SF4 is a joke since there is no skill separation between players. I have 5000pp and 10000bp on Xbox live, someone with 200pp and 300bp can join my game and I would have no way of knowing their skill level. So in SC terms it'd be like if me (a gold league player) could join Idra's games and he'd have no way of stopping me unless he knew before hand how good I was at the game. Also its very laggy so the majority of pros play strictly offline. Gootecks and Mike Ross are usually cited as the figureheads of the community. | ||

Hosting is so retarded in SF4. I'm a 350pp player and I was playing at 9-10am on tuesday and this Yun ranked 16th, 15k BP (forget how much PP) joins my game. Now, I understand why he set his rank search to any, because it's early in the morning, etc... But why is it that I can't decide to host for people of my skill level? Whenever I host, I always get demolished, which is why I gave up on hosting. :\ | ||
