So it's about time I get out the good old arcade stick and began my training for EVO the only problem is I suck at street fighter, blocking, combos, linking, chaining, supers, etc. I don't think I will ever make my goal of getting to EVO but I'm going to try and make a go for it, I still will be playing a lot of league but it's been way to long since I've played some street fighter, I will be tracking my progress online and posting about it on my other blog, if you want the link just PM me, "I'm still new to bloging so it's not that great lol" anyway back to business, I am mostly maining Juri, Dudley, Dan, and Gen. I use to play this game a lot at college their was only one other person who was good at it and he walked me throu the basics, we mostly played third strike, and would watch old videos of EVO for hours! and that's when I wanted to get to level of play of street fighter. Is any one on mobafire a Street Fighter, and if so what character and which version is your favorite?
Shoryuken.
makes me happy to see some fighting gamers here. I've played in the European competitive scene (although my maingames are Guilty Gear and BlazBlue).
Trying to get to EVO is a pretty big goal but with a lot of practice and match experience it's not impossible. That's what I like about the fighting games scene. Everyone still has the chance to be playing in the big tournaments.
I can't say much about Street Fighter, I've only played it casually (although I do own the games). The game is somewhat more imbalanced than the Arcsys games but eventually I'd always recommend to play with a character you really like. Fighting style or design wise, doesn't matter.
My forever favourite in Street Fighter is Sakura. Lately, I've really come to like Street Fighter x Tekken.
If you want to hear the best advice that I have: Do not only play online.
Or better: Just don't play online at all.
Your TV-screen (unless it's a VCR) and the internet lag would throw off your timing. It's nowhere like sitting next to each other and fighting on the same game console.
Instead of playing online, try to find some events near you. In Germany you can find those via hardedge.org. As for the states probably shoryuken.com
It doesn't matter whether they are casual events or tournaments. Just go there and fight. No one cares whether you're good or not and you shouldn't care either. True match experience is the best practice you can get.
You will fail a lot in the beginning but once the event is gone you will notice that you have improved about 10x more than practicing at home. That's how I got pretty far in the German/European scene.
I wish you good luck for your goal! Keep practicing!
And if you can't get a certain combo right. Take a break, try another combo. Try another character. Get something to eat. Sleep. And try again next time.
Sometimes it's hard to get the timing on combos right after an hour or two of practice because you can't get rid of the flawed timing.
Uh, my fav SF is SSF4, and I play Ibuki, and I kick *** with her.
