That's the one good thing about growing up with these games. I just
can't put them down... they're too engaging for me. I spend all my
time talking strategy and tactics. It's just how my brain works. I've
loved street fighter and all other fighting games... MK was always a
bit further down on my list because it appealed to more casual
players and by the time I was 10 I ditched it because it wasn't as
hard for me to play.
I don't think it takes that many ranked matches. In order to go to
evo, you have to go to smaller local tournaments, or online tournaments.

I did say I was exaggerating didn't I? lol. you do have to have lots
of dedication though. if you play casually with friends, you'll
never win Evo tournaments. you gotta go online, ranked, and play
constantly. when you can beat like 150 people in a row without
dying, then that person might probably stand a chance at a
tournament. haha. I definitely agree with you about the analyzing
part though. there are people who are just real good at figuring out
a game's engine. they pick it up, and in half an hour they're like
ok, these chains combo into this special etc. that's real hard to do
in my opinion. it doesn't come naturally to me, I must practice. for
instance when skarlet came out, within an hour, there were already
these real massive combos being uploaded to youtube. same holds true
for any character.

No, I firmly don't believe that. As close as I think you are you
are exaggerating. That's like someone can only become an 8th dan in
Karate if they practice 14 hours a day. You don't have to dream
about street fighter. You just need to be a dedicated fan, and
analyse as much as you can when you play. That does not mean 14
hours of practice. I know a national player of another game... and
they don't practice that much. They just play every day for about 2
hours, and go to tournaments whenever they have the chance.

Clement,
Here's the million dollar question: how many people blind or
otherwise, are dedicated enough to sit there literally for hours,
trying to get as good as we possibly can? to win these
tournaments, you gotta practice around 14 hours a day. loving
street fighter isn't enough. you gotta dream about it, eat with a
controller in your hands, you need to have a ps3 or xbox installed
in your car, so that when you get a brilliant idea for a Guile
combo you can test it out immediately before you forget. funny
thing is I'm probably not exaggerating hahaha. these are people
who's online record is something like 3895 wins and 38 losses lol .

And this is just it. I think, if we really tried, we could get to
this level. There's enough audio detail in SSFIV that no movement
is missed. The disabled SF player I was talking about said on an
interview, "There's no limits what you can do if you want to play
competetively. I just tried my hardest because I love SF and I
love competing." And I personally think it's true. I've gone up
against pretty good people with a lot of experience if their SF
profile cards online say much, and won. How? I used
unconventional strategy to catch people off guard... but that's
all I'll say. Can't expose all my secrets! lol.

Hi Yohandi, Clement and others,
I actually listened to all these matches and it's true, we
probably never will get to such technical hights. *lol*
Well, besides that I get a little sad because I have to wait for
my new laptop before I can play Street Fighter IV again, my
current one is just way to slow for this game.
But these matches are really great and I really don't want to
know how many sleepless nights it took to get all this down so well. *grins*
Best regards
Sarah
