LMAO!!!!! I pray that one day I too can Turtle like the Canadian players do. Cause to be honest rush-down just doesn't work for me.

Not in the mood of starting no flame. You don't have to say anymore about it, but I will. I'm not hyped up nor crying don't get funny. All I was saying basically is you can't turtle everyone just like you can't rush everyone. I used to turtle when I played fighting games but I was a active turtle which is a dumb term for it but I didn't sit back a entire match and just look for mistakes I rushed too, plain turtling is fucking boring. Now I rush alot and it works against alot of people and against some people rushing isn't a good option. So my point is if that's your peoples' style, you better be able to adjust to different types of players cause soon or later turtling won't help your asses.

My GOD he's figured us OUT! ROTFL Posted by GemInite on 03:15:2002 02:39 PM: cant stop us. Posted by znzf on 03:15:2002 03:13 PM: hey what a stereotype ;p i'm canadian and i rush down as much as i can Posted by Eternal Blue on 03:15:2002 03:18 PM: Turtling is the best. Here where I live, when good ppl play, its almost always a win by timeout. Just face it guys, turtling is too good. It breaks you down psychologically and its funny to watch the other guy almost start crying after you've been sitting and waiting for the whole round. The only bad thing about turtling is that your hand hurts cause you have to hold back the entire round. Other than that, its all good. Posted by CompassSaviour on 03:16:2002 07:18 AM: It's not like turtling is doing absolutely nothing. I think I'm an active turtle, as in I throw pokes, and occasionally jump in. Unlike MVC2 or Tekken, where if you turtle, you are pretty much dead. There's not a huge high low game in traditional SF games, so you can turtle as much as you want.

Lol, Oh no, the *UNSTOPPABLE* overhead attack, oh no.......... impossible tactic for a turtler to defeat. ....... proceed to c.lk and link that into your favorite super. ............... overheads, does _anyone_ get hit by these? Posted by WhiteScorpion on 03:25:2002 07:00 AM: Freakin disgraces! *sigh* does this qualify as canadian shame? Put those two in an anti-I-AM-CANADIAN commercial. They'd be like playing each other at dan's doing nothing, THEN some regular joe in the back is watching this and he's all like 'wtf is this shit?" and goes of to the nearest bar to order some American Beer all the while trying to cover up his team canada shirt. ^_^ Posted by Shotokan on 03:25:2002 02:57 PM: How can you manage turtling all day when an opponent can cause guard break after some point? How can you avoid that? Jump around on the screen with a j.hk the whole time? I don't see how that's effective.. Well, I guess that's 'cause all I see is rushdown in the States. Posted by face on 03:25:2002 09:03 PM: learn to just defend, or parry or use athena and out prioritze vega with cr.fp. Posted by JS Master on 03:26:2002 02:32 AM: yes! us canadians are respected as turtlers!

Well, I guess that's 'cause all I see is rushdown in the States. lol. you havent paid attention to philly tourneys lately, eh? u should have been at mm2k2, all people did was turtle against other. neway. to answer your question. people can turtle because there is less risk in getting guardbroken, unlike alpha 3. first of all, when you get guardbroken, your meter doesnt get reduced, it goes back to full right away and you can't always do big combos when you guardcrush. if they dont have any meter or anything, sometimes ill just let them hit me. OOH!. they get a fierce, big deal. if your guard meter decreased like in a3 every time you got guardbroken, people wouldnt be turtling as much that's one of the reasons i like a3, you're always doing something. there are rarely any moments when people are just sitting there, unlike cvs2. and turtles can be crushed but anyway i'm starting to ramble too much. bye now. Posted by hyt on 03:26:2002 05:05 PM: IIRC your Guard Meter does decrease when you get g.crushed... I'll have to check up the Guidebook on that one. What I know for sure is that you lose 10 g.crush points for every g.cancel roll and 15 for g.cancel counter. I forgot how many pts is the g.meter though :P Posted by Sabin on 03:26:2002 05:42 PM: hmm, really? I didn't know that. intresting. please follow up on that for me, if you can. but even though it gets decreased, it doesn't seem to change the flow of the fight THAT much, unlike a3..if you get guardcrushed once chances are your going to get GC'ed again..and again..and again.. Posted by hyt on 03:26:2002 05:49 PM: Sure I'll look that up when I get home from work. In A3 you don't have the roll to create that extra option when you want to get out of a trap situation. Oh well, it also seems that when you get GCed in A3 the meter decreases A LOT. All times are GMT. The time now is 01:03 AM.
