Cammy may not be as popular today as she was during her Arcade Edition heyday, but I still believe that she’s one of the best characters in Ultra Street Fighter IV. In this video, I square off against the #11 Cammy in the world on PSN!

I have to admit that I didn’t expect to get much out of Decapre. Based on her similarities with Cammy and my struggles with using the original Killer Bee, I figured that any time with Decapre would end in disappointment. Don’t want to jinx things, but so far, Decapre is working out much better than expected.
This fight was far from pretty, but it forced my Akuma to find ways to seal the win against an opponent who was clearly giving me trouble.

I probably should have guarded my chin better against the #10 Cody on PSN.

This is the sound that my fightstick makes as I practice Decapre’s crouching medium kick into heavy Rapid Slash combo. It’s only two moves long, and one of those moves can be triggered by simply mashing a single button, yet I’m weeks into my practice and can only land it about 50% of the time against a stationary dummy. What makes this two move combo so difficult?

Rolento might be a flavour of the month thanks in part to Nemo’s phenomenal play in the tournament scene, but the character clearly has its flaws. In particular, he can get dominated in close by offensive-oriented characters, such as Dudley. Still, I try my best to hang in tough against this highly-ranked opponent.
In a recent interview with Famtisu.com, Capcom producer Yoshinori Ono had some interesting things to say about the future of Street Fighter X Tekken.
Ono: In Street Fighter X Tekken’s case, if we’re able to get just a little more development budget allocated to the project, I think we might release one more patch for the game. We’ve even got the details of what we’d change in the patch planned out.
Tsubaki: Is that so!? But in all honesty, what I’m hoping for here is a sequel to the game. After all, even with Capcom vs. SNK, it wasn’t until CvS2 that it became a huge hit. Even today it’s still hailed as an incredible fighting game. So I was hoping for a similar development to happen with Street Fighter X Tekken.
Ono: That’s what I’ve always been telling the company too. But at the end of the day, there are just some brick walls that a salaryman can never overcome *laughs*. For instance, if a game doesn’t sell over 2 million copies, then we’d have to put the brakes on any plans for a sequel. All that means is that we weren’t capable enough. And all we can do after that is to reflect on the experience, take what we can learn from it, and try to apply those lessons on some other title.
Having thought that the game died a long time ago, it’s interesting to see anything about it now. Does the franchise deserve another shot?
I don’t like playing the Rolento mirror match. It basically boils down to two circus acrobats trying to trick each other with the same tricks. Posted this one because Saint-Seiya_III clearly thought he had me beat after the first round. Karma at its finest.
After years of not playing as the Raging Demon, I pick Akuma back up to see what I’m capable of doing with him in this combo video. Hope you enjoy!
Oh my goodness! It’s not every day you get an opportunity to fight the legendary Justin Wong. Having idolized him ever since I discovered the competitive fighting game scene, this was basically the equivalent of me playing Michael Jordan in one-on-one basketball. I’ve got my direct footage from my console above, though you can also watch our fights from Justin’s perspective. He talked some smack after that first match, but maybe he spoke too soon. 😉
GG Justin! Thanks for the matches! I hope we can run it back to settle the score once and for all!
