On today’s edition of Jett vs., I face off against some lofty competition. CK0 Phantom at the time we fought, was the #7 ranked Dhalsim on XBOX Live. Going into the match, I was really nervous, as I was facing someone a few levels above me, and someone who had their mic plugged in and was freely cursing back at me. Hearing the person on the other side always puts me on edge, and sometimes it rattles me to the point where I play worse. Was I able to overcome my nerves to win?
The last time I ran into AceUnlimited, who is the #1 ranked Guy player on PSN, I felt like I put up a pretty good fight. Granted, in the six matches we played, I did not win once, but I think I hung in there pretty well. In particular, the first match in our set came down to the wire. To be honest, I’ve been a bit salty about it ever since.
As luck would have it, we would run into each other again on XBOX Live. Would the salt running through my veins be enough to power me to victory against the same person that bodied me convincingly the last time we played?
For most of my fighting game playing life, I played fighting games with a control pad. It was what I was most comfortable with and I had no interest in learning how to play these games with any other control method. However, in 2010, I felt like I was ready to switch to a fightstick. There was a steep learning curve to it, but I’m glad that I ultimately made the switch.
I know there are a lot of people out there making the transition in hopes of upping their game. Making the switch isn’t an easy process, but I’m hoping that this post may help you ease into a fightstick if/when you decide to give it a go.
Ladies and gentlemen. Boys and girls. Children of all ages. For the thousands in attendance and the millions watching at home…LET’S GET READY TO RUMBLE!!!!111

I have no shortage of idols when it comes to Street Fighter IV. However, when it comes to choosing my favourite Street Fighter IV player, that honour belongs to Sako. Thanks to his creativity, extremely offensive approach and his masterful execution, Sako is arguably the most exciting player to watch. I never get bored of watching Sako destroy his opponents in the most creative and technically challenging ways imaginable. I’d go as far as saying that watching Sako play as Cammy and Rose is the reason why I use them as my two main characters today.
Thanks to YouTube user AnomuraSe, you can now get the Coles notes video of why Sako rocks. This 20-minute Best of Sako video has some of the most incredible displays of offensive firepower ever caught on tape. Click through to watch the video! Also, let me know what you think of it in the comments!
Me reaching #1 for Rose and Cammy in my country is pretty impressive. Reaching #1 in the world? Slow-clap worthy. In the thousands of online Street Fighter IV matches I’ve played over the years, I’ve never run into a #1 ranked player until recently.
AceUnlimited is the #1 ranked Guy on PSN. I ran into him in ranked match and we fought each other a number of times that night. Enclosed in this post is the entirety of our set. I’ve taken out some giants in my day, but did I bite off more than I could chew on this one? Click through to find out!
Last year on In Third Person, Steff and I celebrated Valentine’s Day with a cute post where she recommended games that are great for couples to play together. This year, we took the next logical step. On February 14, 2012, Steff and I will be battling to the death in Deadliest Warrior: Legends, because nothing is more romantic than William Wallace severing your limbs with a giant sword. You can watch the blood, sweat and saltiness right here on In Third Person!
In the world of StarCraft, the concept of the player house is not new. Some of the most serious competitors in that world will move in together, train together and broadcast everything in between. In an interesting development, Shady K, Filipino Champ, Ricky Ortiz and PR Balrog, all of whom are recognized as some of the best fighting game players on the planet, have decided to follow suit. They’ve moved into their new place and are live streaming themselves playing games and their everyday lives in the house on FgtvLive.
Arturo Sanchez is widely recognized as one of the top Street Fighter IV and Mortal Kombat players in North America. He’s won and placed high in many major tournaments and he also famously beat Daigo in a first-to-five money match back in 2009 during a time when people thought Daigo was invincible. I’ve been a fan of his Dhalsim and Rose pretty much since I first started watching fighting game streams and videos in 2009.
To my surprise, I ran into him on XBOX Live and did not hesitate to match up with him. Idol worship aside, I kind of had a chip on my shoulder going in. He was commentating my match against Chi Rithy at T12, and though I deserved it, I was a bit salty at how badly he clowned me on the stream. Though the deck was heavily stacked against me, did I manage to get in at least a little bit of revenge on TS Sabin?
Welcome back to Jett Vs., the series of blog posts where I analyze some of my fighting game matches for your entertainment. You may learn a thing or two from my match analysis as well, though I don’t claim to be an expert in anything.
In this post, my Rose takes on MOMOHUBBY‘s Ken, who was the 29th highest ranked Ken in the world on XBOX Live when we played each other. Do I stand a chance against high quality competition?
