A terrible tournament rule

[NoflopsHomer]

Guy was better than Cody

Guy only had his lame ass 'Off the Wall' kick. Cody could fight with knives, plus Cody gets the girl. Guy just ends up looking like he needs a haircut.

It's not proper street fighter over here though.

The computer announces the name of the moves, you'd never get that in the states.

It's just plain wrong. 

That has to be the most diverse linkage between two such disparate themes in one thread!

Plus, after many many hours of trial and error, I learned how to spinning Piledriver with Zangief on the SNES - apart from Dhalsim's teleport, the most difficult manoeuvre to pull off... it just requires discipline and patience.

Took me months to get it just right.

Now, what were we supposed to be discussing? This thread is a classic example of how the blondes cool the fires themselves when things get a little heated.  Great stuff.

and sorry but i'm not your average tournament director.  I use TDA rules which are american rules and adapt for UK,

What do you do to adapt for the UK Mel?


and back to the matter in hand.
is there any real difference between playing ryu or ken? I always thought it was more of an aesthetic choice, kind of like deciding whether to play mario or luigi, it depends which one you like the look of the best but basically they play the same

Ken has a slanted Dragon punch,  instead of a vertical dragon punch like Ryu. Mario is a lot easier to control than Luigi, Luigi was better at jumping that Mario.

I hope that helps

I always opted for Ken when Playing street fighter, Ken had a great grapple roll and throw move that took about one quarter of your opponents life. in to that he also has a killer spinning kick.

sorry, I wasn't specific enough, I was talking about super mario kart in which I never noticed a difference between the 2

[Nem]

Yeah, they are the same in Mario Kart. Just like Donkey Kong and Bowser ae the same in Mario Kart as well.

NOOOOOOOOOOO

Ryu had more powerful fireballs

Ken had a more powerful dragon punch

the difference was miniscule... but like Shaun Ryder said..... "It's DAREEEEEEE"

[Newmanseye]

TAlking of mario Kart, I just completed it on the DS and what a game it is, Super addictive and great fun as usual.

Kept my SNES in usage long after the poor thing should have been retired.

[gatso]

I bought a snes on ebay a few years ago just to be able to play this again. these new consoles are great but for pure gameplay I don't think anything has yet beaten this game

[Nem]

You're spot on gatso. The original SNES Mario Kart game is the best driving game ever (PS2 Gran Turismo included)

[I, Zimbra]

Battle, anyone? 

[gatso]

I still remember the great feeling of finally winning rainbow road on the 150cc level. fantastic.

and the many late nights spent on battle mode after the pub meant my 3 years at uni just flew by
