Ultra Street Fighter IV battle: Rufus (kcidd91) vs Rolento (jettFTW)

Rufus is almost always a tough match for anyone. Since there are so few people online using him, hardly anyone has any real experience fighting the character. On top of that, his style is so awkward that the people that play him usually do so as their main and are pretty good with him. Adding to the pressure for me is that Rolento sucks in close quarters, which is exactly where Rufus shines. I try my best to fend off the onslaught from kcidd91!

Ultra Street Fighter IV Omega Mode Cammy Combo Video

The original Killer Bee is a force to be reckoned with in Omega Mode. Some of her big changes include a new special move that launches opponents into the air, a heavily-reworked Spin Knuckle and the ability to cancel a jumping attack on hit into a dive kick. I really liked the way in which her tweaks expanding her combo options, which I explore in this video!

Pick-Up Post: Boxing Day 2015 Edition

Black Friday is quickly gaining popularity as a premier day for shopping in Canada, though Boxing Day is still the king. Though I have a tendency of making it rain on this day, my shopping list was surprisingly small this year. Maybe I didn’t get the volume of year’s past, but I think I got a solid crop of goodies at more reasonable prices!

Ultra Street Fighter IV battle: Rose (Kirkham97) vs Poison (jettFTW)

Aside from my big 3, Poison is the character that I’ve been pouring the most time into. In general, I’ve been playing well, but in general, playing as her hasn’t been much fun. That said, this set of matches with Kirkham97 so far have been my favourite. We engage in an all-out slugfest within these two matches that were filled with drama. GG Kirkham97!

Amiibo Story: Pit

Some of my earliest memories of gaming involve Kid Icarus. Not so much the actual playing of the game, but the hype surrounding it. In talks with other kids who were into Nintendo, Kid Icarus was thrown out there as being one of those marquee titles along with the likes of Mario and The Legend of Zelda. Heck, even Pit was a key sidekick in Captain N: The Game Master.

However, at the time, I didn’t understand the hype. I didn’t like that game as a kid and I still don’t like it now. Years later though, Pit would win me over with one of my all-time favourite Nintendo 3DS games.

Jett Plays Ultra Street Fighter IV Omega Mode

I try my best to show off some of the new changes within the context of a real fight with mixed results. At a certain point, my opponent gets too good, so I switch to playing serious. Also, I got someone to rage quit!

Ultra Street Fighter IV battle: Oni (Galeoflight) vs Hugo (jettFTW)

Big-bodied characters have never been a strong suit of mine in any fighting game. That didn’t stop me though from playing a few matches with Hugo in my down time. I know this is far from a stellar match, though it’s a glimpse at what I can/can’t do with Street Fighter‘s biggest behemoth.

Underneath My Christmas Tree: 2014 Edition

Christmas GoodiesHoping you all had a blast this holiday season! For me, it was great to spend a lot of time with my family. Got to spread the joy of board games with my younger cousins by giving them a copy of King of Tokyo, which they loved. Got to spend Christmas day with Steff’s dad’s side of the family; a first for me after all of these years. Best of all, our schedules worked out in a way where Steff and I didn’t have to split up in order to visit all of our respective families.

I may be getting up there in age, though that didn’t stop my loved ones from spoiling me. Hopefully my gifts, love and Christmas cheer were enough to reciprocate, because I definitely got hooked up! This post highlights the stuff that is relevant to the site, though I’m also appreciative of the t-shirts, socks, ties, and Taylor Swift concert tickets (!!!) I got as well. Now let’s look at the goods!

Ultra Street Fighter IV Showdown: Decapre vs. Rolento

Decapre and Rolento have more in common than just being two of the five new characters in Ultra Street Fighter IV. They’re also characters that I’ve put a lot of time and effort into. As of writing, my Decapre is ranked 4th in the world on PSN, while my Rolento is 7th. Clearly, I’ve managed to garner a fair amount of success with both, to the point where they probably give my Rose a run for her money.

In this post, I’ll analyze both characters based on my experiences with them and determine which of the two is better. Which of the two will come out of this fight still standing?
