This was my first and currently only combo video ever. I made this while still in college when I had mad time to get really good at fighting games.

Back on my 3rd Strike grind!!!
If you've read my blog before, you already know that I am no longer playing sf4, ssf4, or ssf4ae at all anymore. Street Fighter III 3rd Strike Online Edition has finally surfaced! Finally back to where Skill/Mix Ups = Win, not 500 throw commands on block with major block stun on everything. No more vortexes, no more FADC's, no more tier whoring! Best of all, my favorite character doesn't constantly get stuffed whenever he attacks! Hell yea!
So to kick this off right, I'm going to post the best match that I've had so far online! This match was on XBL (although I also own the psn version as well) with my now new friend "walk with red." This mirror match was epic!!! Enjoy!

Major Change in the Works!!!
Alright, being that I'm not all hyped up on SF4 anymore, I have decided that I am going to completely change the angle of this blog page. It will now be a blog talking about video games in general. I will be posting my own reviews, discussing the pros and cons of certain concepts in the latest games, and just giving my overall opinion on things that I see in the Game World. You will hear a lot more from me than in the past because I'm no longer angling this blog solely on SF. So get ready! The All New Rolento13 Blog approaches!!!

The Return of Rolento13!!!
Just went to 8 on the Break last night! Haven't been there in a very long time. Actually, its been since SF4. This was my 1st SSF4 Tournament and I went in hard rockin with Ken!
First match was against Quotes who was using Dudley. First round was a definite wake up call. I got rocked so bad that I only landed maybe 2 attacks. So regrouping my thought pattern and play style was in order. So, I turned the whole match around and started get'n my shoto on and beat him for 2 matches.
Second match was against Ryder's Abel. I couldn't figure out how to approach him. His style has changed so much that I only got 1 round off on him. So I got sent to the losers bracket.
Third Match was against Spektrum's Cammy. At first, I was getting rocked the first match, so, once again. I had to regroup my thoughts and pattern. Pulled a match win. Then, at the last moment of the last match, I get knocked down. Spektrum jumps in too late, I wake up DP, Game Point! Whew, Close call in every way! Much better than the last match I had against him back at Kattermari's place during one of the Tea Boss Challenges.
So at this point, I'm really not feeling like I'm gonna do any better after this. I'm already down one game, one more game loss and I'm out of the tournament. Just trying to clear my head so that I don't bog myself down during the next match.
Fourth match was against Chris Matrix's Bison. I understand this match up pretty well, So It wasn't too bad of a fight. Just really had to keep my space between us other wise, Combo City! So, I win the first match. He decides to pick Akuma now. I know this match up far too well. I figure he wanted to even up the playing ground by being able to space me out and take advantage of combo situations. Well, That didn't work for him. I won match two fairly easy and fast.
Still, at this point, I'm still not thrilled at my performance because I'm still in the loser's bracket. Looking on the tournament screen to see how many matches left, oh boy. The loser's bracket just seems sooooo long.
Match five was against Liston's Sagat. Oh goodie, a match up that I really can't stand. I've hated it since SF4 and here I am again. I'm pretty sure that the last time I fought this guy I got destroyed, but so what. I'm here, he's here, whoever loses goes home. It's time to make it happen! First match is chock full of zoning, My ken trying to kara dash through fireballs, watching out for the Sagat mix up game, and teching throws left and right. So, match one, me. Match two, he realizes that I'm jumping in on him a lot, so he starts uppercutting me whenever I do. He wins match two. Ugh, is this it? Is this how I get taken out of the tournament? By the one character I despise the most? Nah son! Fuck that! Match three, I start playing real smart, but so does Liston. However, he's getting antsy and starting to jump more. Will I take advantage of this or should I wait to see if he lands and uppercuts or throws? Bitch I'm Ken! I'm dragon punchin like my life depends on it! Like Liza won't marry me if I don't!....even tho....she already did...after SF2....um...yea. So anyway, I win the third match!!!
Now I'm feeling like I'm no joe shmoe that came to the tournament to lose. I'm feeling like I have a good chance at getting deeper into this. Problem, now the competition is gonna get harder because I am getting farther. I'm fighting my way through the Loser's bracket. Any loss means I'm done.
Sixth match is against KDZ. Ugh, KDZ. The last several times I played against him I got murdered like the screaming white lady in a horror flick. Oh, and this is on the TV that they are streaming on. Oh boy. My first match here on stream and I'm nervous because of how the last time was. Deep breath Rol, easy. It's a new day, a new version of the game, you got this. That's what I had to keep telling myself. This could likely be it. I don't want my first appearance on stream here to look like a massacre as if I don't know how to play. Damn. KDZ puts his mp3 player on, headphones on, and zones out. Damn, this dude ain't even listening to the game. Ugh. Match one vs his Rufus. I hate Rufus. Rufus should die, be burned in the middle of a forest to ensure he can't escape the flames. I'm talking fire like the explosion of the hospital in Dark Knight, with the extra delayed boom! Why! Why! Why! Alright! Let's go to work! Taking my time to try to catch him when he least expects me to attack. Blocking this stupidly potent dive kicks and countering accordingly. Can't do a lot of combos because I'm worried about this dude's EX Jesus Kick coming out. Steady spacing him. Keeping much distance so that I can't get barraged. Oh, but his crouching fierce stabs me from all the way across the screen. That's ok, I still get in and get the job done! Match one, Rolento! Everybody is cheering and screaming. KDZ is pissed. I DP'd him during a move the he thought would beat me out when we both were low on health. KDZ puts up the one second gesture as to say, don't get too excited yet. The headphones come off. He wants full concentration on this next match. He picks Abel. Fuck! The same character that put me in loser's. Ugh, wait a second. He may be picking Abel, but it's not Ryder's Abel. He doesn't have nearly the experience that Ryder has. Alright, let's see what you got! I go in keeping my distance, KDZ working his way in. I take advantage of ever combo opportunity I can. Everybody is getting hyped. Last round, I hit him with a combo to a reset combo! Rocked him!!! ROLENTO FTW!!! That's what I'm talkin about!
Before I get up and go, my next match is announced. It's vs Dr. Cha0s. Here we go. Ken vs Ken. Awkward fight of the century. I just played him in a casual match before the tournament started, I lost but it was a good match. Mirror matches in sf4 are weird. So anyway, we battle, it's a decent match, but I lose. Lots of foward middle kicks and crouching middle kicks. Cha0s' Ken is undeniably good. Much respect.
So I come out in 5th place! Not bad for not going to tournaments for such a long time and then returning after the new version has been around for so long. I'm happy with it. I don't feel like I'm gonna get scrubbed in ssf4, so it's a bit more skill based this time around, and it shows. GG's to everyone I went against! Sanford Kelly won, Josh Wong took 2nd, Dr. Cha0s took 3rd. Word! We'll see what happens next time! I'm comin for that money pot!!!

SSF4 comes to redeem it's former self!
Well, it seems as if Capcom has actually done something that most video game companies lack. They actually listened to their fans! I've been playing SSF4 a little lately and I must say that this new installment actually seems to have a lot more promise than the previous game. It seems way more balanced than the original! Hopefully this will continue to be the case as the official release date is tomorrow. Ken got buffed somethin lovely! OMG, He's finally able to compete with everyone evenly instead of just looking up as if he has a little man's complex. I also got to mess with the Training Mode and found something extra sexy to show off just how good ken is now.
