I have the Street Fighter IV TE with a triple mod PCB that Steamwolf put in. Works for me, and it's hella awesome using it over a 360 controller for RB2.

You guys want a laugh about a rant for this game? Ask Steamwolf about how he feels about it. XD

Oh I know about the wake-up kick. Ask Steam about it lulz

Thanks, Running. I practiced chaining into standing C from the st.bx2 revolver and it's been pretty successful.

Now that Winterfest is over and I've got a spare bit of time, I'm hitting RB2 back up to try and level up my Mai. One of the biggest problems I have is comboing into her S. Power. I know of ways to do it but the attack comes out so awkwardly imo. Any tips?

I had a great time last night. I didn't win but seeing my hard work pay off in at least a few wins in casuals and tournament play combined makes me feel great.

I've had the game for a while now and I really like it. I use Weiss and Saki and I'm always down if anyone wants to play. I could use the practice.

@Wingshot. Sorry that I couldn't reply over PSN, I don't have a keypad and writing long messages is a pain in the ass.

3S is probably one of the best fighters ever made, deep gameplay, tons, literally tons of ways to play it. No two players play exactly alike... except for scrubs but that's something else.

You can play 3S however you want: You want to rush them down? You can do that with a majority of the cast. Want to play defense? You can do that too.

The only thing I can tell you is that the online right now is kinda' so-so. I've played a lot of guys and have rarely encountered Green connections, plenty of Yellow ones and they were 'okay' with the occasional dropped input and so to occasional troll with a lag switch. Don't even bother playing anyone below a Yellow connection, it's maddeningly dumb.

It's all good. I'm gonna be picking this up today, and hope to spar with you a few matches. I tend to play Ken a bit aggressively because I find especially in this game if I turtle I lose, so I try to keep pressure going while being smart (total change from my Mai in RB2, I know). I've been looking forward to playing this with good players for a while to level up but I'm still kinda new to 3S, so prepare for some free wins. :p

Having a real life friend that can always play with you helps so much it's not even funny, especially if they're forum savvy and always trying to learn and better themselves--Welcome to DC =)

Thank you. And yeah, he's a great guy.

I'm still working on my Franco, there's still things I need to learn. I'd still play ya' of course.

So far I'd consider myself decent with: Terry, Krauser, Joe, Kim, and Franco. I've dropped Geese because I can't kara his 360's with him. The other characters don't appeal to me.

Oh, no doubt. I only mixed it up with your Terry once or twice, but your Krauser is serious. It's good experience for me because believe it or not Steamwolf only got me playing RB2 back in December '10. (I think that's about right.) There are still plenty of characters that I need match-up experience with, but yeah anytime you're avail, hit me up on Skype and I'll gladly play with you.

^^ I got that reference.

Trying to learn more characters. Having fun with Joe. It's hard to remember all of his options while playing, and trying to put them to use because whenever I fight the South Americans on Supercade 9 times out of 10 they just  jump in all the time and I just SRK them. So I get stuck in that loop without really getting to show off what Joe can do.

Now, I'm trying to learn Franco. And remember what I said about Terry being like Ken from 3S? A great charter with big damage and easy combos? Imagine if 3S Ken had a baby with Balrog (boxer) from ST, it would be Franco. Great mixup, answer to any situation, can combo off of anything (literally, he has the most chain combos in the game), and possibly the deadliest Linesway mixup. Also, his taunt makes him God Tier.

I'd love to mix it up with your Franco, dude. I'm still new to a lot of the match-ups for RB2, and I think my Mai would totally level up playing your Franco.

I'm really stoked that we have a nice group for RB2. Playing with DeadlyRave-Neo and even a few matches with GhostPilot was awesome. The experience really helped out my game, and I've only been playing RB2 for a few months now. And as with a lot of us on here, I'm usually avail for a game of RB2. You can get me on Skype at leon.flair if anyone's interested.

Yeah, me and steamwolf live in North FL. Too bad we can't sprout wings and fly. XD But if there was a common ground to meet up, I could get out there sometime.

Yeah, for the longest time in Marvel vs. Capcom 2, I thought Ken was my best character, then after playing online a bunch and playing with steamwolf, EVERYONE told me that my Rogue was my best character, so I compared what I could do with both characters, and I saw people were correct. Also, in KoF, I swore Leona was my best character, then once again, online at GGPO, people told me I should stick with Athena. It happens.
