AFAIK the only infinites that have ever been singled out and banned in the US are Tekken 5.0 Steve's infinite, and dead-body infinites in Marvel (since they guarantee a time-out win after killing 1/3 of a team). Well, that and some Smash stuff, but Smash is its own planet compared to the rest...
SRK had an interesting discussion on this matter after Evo had announced the 3rd Strike 2v2. Many players wanted to know why they weren't doing 3v3 like Japan, and the staff's answer boiled down to "the scene isn't large enough, 3v3 often means you have 2 good players stuck with a random scrub...
fixed
Also, due to the number of shady tournaments that have arisen since SF4 came out, SRK has recently added a stickied thread of "Tournament Directors to Avoid". After everything seen here, I have recommended they add DFG to the list.
You'd be surprised how powerful this can be - any...
The funny thing is that he is mad humble in SF4. Even told me I have a better Seth than Arturo, which is nowhere even near true.
Perhaps he realizes even he can't match EC SF scene hype. ;)
just popping in to say that Arturo used Dhalsim in the MM, Daigo specifically said no console characters except Cammy & Sakura
And i think Daigo's rules were FT3 for between $20-50, and FT5 for $50-100. FT5 with Arturo was $100, and the FT3 he lost to Ryan Hart was $50. He still won close...
But here's the thing, SC4 isn't that broken compared to what else is out there. This must be a pretty inexperienced/whiny community if they really think it is.
I've said this before, but the economy may be the bigger issue...turnouts across all majors, for just about everything besides SF4, have been dropping over the past year+. The trend started well before 4 even came out, so you can't blame it on that, and I know of many people who couldn't go to...
man, sorry to hear about that crow =( =( =(
btw, for whoever here that still cares about SF4, perfect legend is running a tourney in toledo next sat. check SRK, too lazy to link =P. it's a qualifier for an SF4 side tourney at evo w/ $250 entry
Shotos aren't even the problem for him. It's that he only outright beats a few of the top and upper mid characters...Sim, Rufus, Gouken, Bison, and that's about it. Gief vs. Sagat and Seth are two of the most lopsided matchups in the whole game. And from what I hear, the Japanese now think...
i'm always down with giving rides to people, i just haven't been able to make the last couple because school is that serious
it looks like i will be able to go to this one, however, so if we can set something up then you would be more than welcome!
Here are the other results I remember...
SF4 Singles:
1st. TheAlucard (Balrog) - This was the guy who won the Ohio Gamestop regional btw.
2nd. Josh Ballard (Seth, Balrog) - I only used Rog a few matches because their PS3 setup didn't have Seth unlocked, lol
3rd. Ladymachine (Sagat, Rose) - Our...
