Super Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition
In AE, at first I’m picking Yun because Daigo use him (in Street Fighter world, this beast inspired most of people who play this game) and Yun… Or should I say, twins… Give a big impact in this series. But later on, if you want to become great player, not only mimic your idol will succeed you, but you have to have mind set and your own game play will reflect you. I drop Yun (and soon in 2012 twins got nerf… Will not as too good as now) and I think will main Gouki / Akuma.
Basically, not only I have experience with shoto (Ryu) in vanilla / chocolate version, but I love akuma vortex game. Lots of mixup including safe jump, ambigous jump, but sometime the mixup doesn’t safe if you don’t use properly.
My experience use Akuma still very dull, compare my experience use Ryu. Lot of match up I haven’t familiar yet, making me in (more) disadvantage when play against like blanka, fuerte, etc.
This 23 October, will be turney for SSF AE and MVC. The strongest candidate from previous achievements, I think neo jef will very hard to beat due his Viper / Ibuki strong enough for our local. Also I can see the gap between me and him.
Myself using akuma still have difficult time to match viper & ibuki.

Marvel VS Capcom 3
Maybe same as Tekken, I’m not really good playing this game. I still cannot use assist properly, combo not consistent, often to drop combo.
From my own point of view, I see Arka is the best player to date In our local. Very confusing against him… His mixup is ridiculous. Good using assist. Good punishing (assist), good spacing. Overall he knows what he do, not like me which I’m not really know what I’m gonna do.
Not that dumb, but, when I’m trying to apply my own strat… It doesn’t work out as easy as that… -_-
On november, we’ve got our friend from Medan & USA.. Hope we can play with them
Hope I can do better in Ultimate MVC 3, haha.

I think this is for now, will update again later

Minor Change Update

It’s been a long time since my last entry, 2009 wasn’t it?

so I decided to continue writing, and put some minor change about the site. Previously, mostly I just share about my specialty in Fighting Games… But now, I’m thinking to expand more other than fighting games, so I can share my thoughts also in foods, tv shows, music,  movie, games exclude fighting games, etc.  To  put all those things, I can say those are my entertainment after the hectic due the works at the office. Maybe it will become more general than before, so any feedback from readers, I really appreciate it

Local Arcade Tekken 6 Bloodline Rebellion, finally!

Tekken 6 Bloodline Rebellion arcade has arrived at our local, finally!

Today all our local Arcade (XXI& 21) Tekken 6 have been upgraded to BR! I just ran into Taman Anggrek XXI to test it ASAP after I got the news from our community. After playing it from 1 PM to 10 PM, 1st impression about BR….

Street Fighter IV: Daigo Umehara Kumite!

Whois Daigo Umehara? Daigo is a renowned Japanese player of arcade fighting games, especially in 2D Fighting games such as Capcom vs. SNK 2, Guilty Gear Series (XX, #Reload and Slash), Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike, Super Street Fighter II Turbo, Hyper Street Fighter II, Capcom Fighting Jam (taken from wikipedia…. w00t??!?! He got his own page on wikipedia?!??! What a legend!), the point is, he is a very strong player. Most people know about him because his unforgettable moment at EVO 2004, the 3rd Strike losers’ finals where his Ken makes a dramatic comeback against Justin Wong (using Chun Li). In the final round of the first match, Daigo’s Ken is down to his last pixels of life. Trying to take advantage of this, Wong attempts to chip Daigo for the win by doing a super (SA2), since blocking the super still causes significant damage. Seemingly ready for this tactic, Daigo parries all fourteen hits of Chun Li’s super, including an air parry on the last delayed hit, and combos into his own super (SA3) for the win. The large crowd at the tournament erupts as all of this unfolds.Because of his feat shown in the video, Daigo has gone on to become one of the most recognizable names in fighting games. (another one taken from his wiki page!)

Virtua Fighter 5 in e-gamers tv show!

Have you seen competition game on TvOne, twice a month on Sunday 2 PM till 3 PM? That’s e-gamers, gaming competition TV show, LIVE!

In this competition, every team will represent to play variety of games, such as Need For Speed, Winning Eleven (Pro Evolution Soccer), Counter Strike, and the last Virtua Fighter 5!

As a virtua fighter player, I was invited to play VF5. However, this show is a total joke, the host didn’t know anything about the game, just want to know how good the tv show rating. And they use PS3 for the console competition game, which is they used VF5 ver. B….

So if you curious about the competition looks like, just watch it! But, don’t expect much,  unless you don’t know WTF is going on… lol, just enjoy the show.

XBOX 360: New Xbox Experience review

I’ve updated my Xbox360 with New Xbox Experience (NXE), the newest Xbox360 dashboard, smiliar to PS3 XMB with avatar inside. This latest installament provide you to copy your full dvd game into Xbox360 HDD, that makes you can play game with faster loading than usual,but you still have to insert those DVD games if you want to play. Another feature you will see Xbox360 avatar, an avatar about your own profile (similar like Mii in Wii), that you can make your own character, or sometimes you make character that similar to the owner. (like myself, lol)

Xbox360 NXE update is very brilliant idea, especially with HDD games install. I like a lot this feature, because some games really have loooong loading to play.

And FYI, in this December, microsoft also give NXE updated avatar for winter outfits, and you will get it automatically if you just signed in to XBOX LIVE. (very quick update, I even don’t realize)

Now, here’s my own gamertag

Tekken 6 Bloodline Rebellion coming to PS3 & Xbox 360

it’s finally official from TGS report, Project director of Namco Bandai, Harada Katsushiro said it. Now Tekken no longer PlayStation exclusive, maybe this will cause a big dissapoinment for ps3 fanboys, and for xbox 360 owner, this is very surprisingly a good news. Now, both console owner can enjoy the famous Namco Fighting Game, Tekken 6 Bloodline Rebellion (T6BR).

As for me, I’m so happy because if namco is planning to release on xbox 360, fall 2009 later, in the Next WCG 2010, I think there will be Tekken as well. Maybe for 2009 WCG would be Street Fighter or Soul Calibur IV.
