Don’t judge a player by their Battle Points. |H|akai doesn’t have many, but this Ryu player clearly knew what they were doing. He convincingly zoned out my Rolento and took this match to the absolute limit.

Next Gen Busts
Last summer, my excitement for the start of next gen with the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One was at a fever pitch. It had been a long time since we’d made a technological leap and was anxiously looking forward to what the future would hold for gaming with these new machines. A year later, and both of them are basically just collecting dust on my shelf.
jettFTW vs. NostalgicX in Ultra Street Fighter IV
This match is a great example of how important space control is. Sakura wants to rush in as aggressively as possible while Rolento wants to keep her at bay with his pokes. When one person controls the space, they dominate. However, the action swings wildly as control switches hands.
So this is the #1 ranked Rolento on PSN?
One round ranked match against an opponent going out of his way to get hit by the same move over and over? Well, congratulations I guess.

jettFTW vs. moniko1234 in Ultra Street Fighter IV
Played a number of matches against a great Guy player. We played a total of 7 matches, of which he won 5. In the grand scheme of things, it was not a good look for me, but you’ll get to watch a strong Guy player do his thing. Here’s one video where I won and another where he got the best of me.
jettFTW (Decapre) vs. HolyCarb (Ibuki) in Ultra Street Fighter IV
Not exactly top-tier play, but this is me experimenting with Decapre. My combos weren’t too bad in this one. She’s definitely not one of the best characters in the game, but she’s fun to use and I’m definitely going to try her out some more.

After a few tough losses, I run it back against the #1 Rolento player in the world on PSN.

A Boy and His Blog: Celebrating 5 Years of In Third Person
On this day in 2009, I quietly released In Third Person into the Internet wilderness. At the time, my expectations for this blog were about as low as any. For me, if this was a place where I could express my views on video games, I was happy. Over time, I’ve expanded the scope of this site to include board games, comic books and stories from my personal life, but I hope my heart resonated through everything I created.
Looking back, I’ve managed to achieve far more with this project than I ever could have imagined. Being featured on the WordPress.com home page was a huge honour, as were nods from Marquette University, Indie Game: The Movie, and most recently, Shoryuken.com. Off the strength of my work here, I earned a writing gig at Splitkick. I started up a podcast with an old friend and a new friend I initially met through the site that I’d eventually get the honour of meeting in Vegas. Most importantly, this site has accrued over 220,000 visits since its inception 5 years ago. You, the readers, have continued to support my site and I hope in return that the site provides you with content of value.
It’s been one heck of a ride and I hope it only gets better from here. Thank you for your support and let’s keep this thing moving!
Jett vs. Lord_Ryan in Ultra Street Fighter IV
Ever since I started using Rolento, Rose has proven to be a problematic match-up. This is the latest battle between my Ultra Street Fighter IV main characters.
