played some 3s ranked tonight, only lost one game. feels great to win in ranked, that doesn't always happen in sfxt!
but I'd like to address an epidemic
wakeup shoryu and random shoryu. this stuff is better in sf4 and sfxt I think. it's defensible. at least the wakeup one. sometimes you just know the other guy is gonna push buttons and pressure you on wakeup and you just gotta shoryuken to make him respect you. cool and good and I ain't gonna hassle you.
but in 3S, there's a particular type of player. shoryu on wakeup frequently, no matter how many times you punish. random shoryu from midscreen. if there is an opportunity to shoryuken he will take it.
I offer as an example this game from my ranked matches this morning:
after the second shoryuken I said "oh one of those." these people do not learn from being punished, they do not learn ever. they see you within half a screen on their wakeup and they automatically input the srk command. we must put a stop to these people. for their own good.
also, I played a bit more Chun against my real life friend. those are always fun. I had just played Makoto against him and he was trying to teach me that Makoto is an easy character to win with, so I said "fine beat my Chun."
matches against her can get ugly quick. there's a reason I don't play her online! Chun is a destroyer of worlds.
