And after a loooooong break there came.....

........back in full throttle there came the time I decided to visit and start my blog up again!!

WOW!! :O

So it's been a really, really long time, I thought I'd be more active in this, turns out I have a life after all. But yes, blogging about the silver demon has returned, and oh the joy, the excitement, it feels so refreshing again...

UPDATES:
Hey I now have TTT2, it's been over a month owing this game, and yes it is a very outstanding game for me personally, I've been playing a lot of online matches, tinkering with fight lab mode, ahhh, such joy indeed.

I decided to take a step up during my TTT2 adventures and make sure that as I progress, I level up in all aspects of my game, defense, character knowledge (I decided to train and learn myself mokujin eventually) punishment, yomi, spacing, there's a lot.

My main team above all else will be Lee/Ogre...

But wait, I hear there's news of time released characters...?!!!!!!

VIOLET?!!!!

DR.B?!!!!!

UNKNOWN?!!!!

(the other 3 suck, especially slim bob, waste of space, ironic isn't it?)

Oh this gets me slightly indecisive of a main team, I ask myself "Will I run a Lee/Violet team"? My answer, maybe, I've had a lot of fun with Ogre and there were a handful of times I ran back and snatched victories with that character. I might mix match between Lee/Ogre/Dr.B, I might dabble with unknown (u/f+2) if I find comfort in playing her.

Did I mention I'm retaking my first year of university (on a different course?). I'm studying Information Systems rather than computer science (games tech), so far I'm settling much better compared to last year, and I have the friends who I can sit with and discuss work outside of labs/lectures/seminar times.

Oh, for about a year and few months I've been getting into manga collecting, perhaps in my next entry I can add a snapshot of my collection!!

Also, quit my job, man...I ain't going back again, finally have my Friday's and Saturdays back so I can focus on my studies, hobbies, tekken work, meetings etc

Back to tekken!!

So...whilst I've been made moderator on the tekkenzaibatsu forums, I think it's high time I put some work in to the boards to keep momentum going, and try my best to answer questions to the best of my knowledge, there's a lot I wish to do, motivation shall keep me going indeed!!

What a nice comeback to my blog, hmmm, might give this a little makeover once I have time....

...until I blog again....

Last Post til End Of Summer

Due to many stuff going on, uni work, lots of games played, SoulCalibur 5, Tekken 3D Prime edition,  browsing through my usual forums, I'll be taking a long break, a few months before I was going to post about my Soulcalibur 5 stuff, but a lot more important stuff had to be finished with.

Today Mr.Harada himself announced TTT2U to be released onto console for September, this has given me excitement and has rekindled the dormant fire inside of me. At least, this will motivate me to pass all my modules for uni, so I won't have to take any resits during august/september, and I'll also have sometime to decide whether I should quit my job, or continue and try and reduce hours...

That will be all for now!

Updates

A few thoughts...

Christmas holiday's started for me a few weeks ago, mostly revision, browsing for Tag 2 videos.

Lee- Starting to get mixed feelings, wr+3,4 initially I thought in the future I would abuse, turns out it's linear.

        However, nonetheless, it's not all that bad, hearing good things from his lows and combo potential.

Jinpachi- Well what drew me to him was his beastly punishment, pretty much heard good things on TZ with               

               regards to him. Just started to watch Korean/Japanese footage with Jinpachi, just to get a feel on how he's played, the common things I see, guaranteed followups, combos etc.

I have yet to see a Lee/Jinpachi team so all I can do is imagine or wait a bit later for someone to pick them up.

Heihachi- Just reading, few notes to myself...EWGF=buff your friend when used, your foe when against, d/b+2 or b+2?  Young one..eh?

Anna- Haven't caught up too mich with her in terms of footage (not really after her much), f+3,2--ahh, my mind wants to drop her completely but I think I'll stick around with her when console hits.

Need to revise some more, polish my report and start some offline session exploring...

Trail of thought...

Notes: SC5, PSVita, TTT2 Holiday fall, make sure I pass 1st year at uni and pass well (1st class), coding practice, Amagami SS season 2!!!!!!!! 

Have a good day/night all!

Reflection and thinking on to TTT2

OK, so today is another day, pretty much consiting so far of uni work, further studying, programming practice and watching youtube videos, forums etc etc.

Tekken-wise one thing that has crossed my mind was my tag partner, back in BR I only ever mained Lee, my only problem is learning another character and put as much time and effort to being effective with them on the same if not greater level than Lee...

hmmm....

I've played with others, Bruce, Xiaoyu, Anna, Nina, Heihachi, Devil Jin,even Wang....

..

...but something inside me just wasn't satisfied, it's like I wasn't even learning the characters with the same love and dedication as I put in for Lee I guess...

I've read various character specific guides and while they're really useful, it just feels like I'm rushing through them, I ask myself this sometimes...

• Why am I using that character in the first place?

Various answers I've given myself is to be different...find my own style, not to be a tier whore..., or something like, because they have great pokes, frame adv, stuff like that.
It's like I'm being programmed or learning a character like a robot...I dunno so many thoughts...

I think the thing I lack is patience sometimes, well not patience but I'm not persevering enough...I need to put more time and effort rather than rushing to the meat, the good stuff.

Another thing I like is offline experience with other players, but that's due to uni, parents, my part time job etc...

TTT2 is approaching and will approach ever so rapidly like it was yesterday, now is the time for me to really think and look at where I want to get myself to, what I want to achieve, more importantly with which 2 characters. I feel personally that having two characters that I'll be loyal to will keep me dedicated.

I remember when I brought T6BR 8am in the morning, coming home, playing it, doing those combos I saw on youtube guides and starting using Asuka whom I presumably thought I would stick to (didn't last long, got bored lol)
Then I remembered like *pop*, hey Lee has that mist step, why not try that for combos? Ahh those T5/DR vids of Lee, thank you^_^

Lee was hard for me at the start especially even doing the b+1:1~f combo I flopped SO MANY times, and chaining all the b+2~f's agh, when I look back from where I am to how I was before, it's just amazing how what you consider so simple was such a hard task...

Sample combo 7 for Lee....haha everyone had to jump through that hoop...:)


So TTT2, who will be my tag partner with Lee?

I'm thinking along the characters of either Ling, Alisa , Bruce, Anna

Those are the main 4 characters I want to try and pursue. Tekken hybrid will allow me to start learning TTT2 version ling and alisa....assuming they don't get patched for frames of something.

It's gonna be a long journey...it really will be...


Some of my wishes include just playing in an offline session with other people, particulary those who have more experience than me. I also want to become one of the best Lee/(whoever team) player, or one of the top users in my area or UK.

It's gonna be tough balancing studies with tekken/my other games, but it can be done!

Did I mention I'll be buying Soul Calibur 5?

Yet another competitive game I'll try for myself, though I'm not to sure how big the UK scene is, but I'll mostly play for fun, combos, online if theres no alternative...(btw I;ll be maining, Mitsu, dampierre again, and learn Viola..!!:))

Well, I've got things to do now it's been a while since I've blogged, next time I'll be posting some interesting match videos with Lee if I do run into some and just make a comment on it or so.

I feel so excited and overjoyed (maybe reacting a little too much ha) when I see good Lee play, I think it's just me...


well so long...until next time:)

Tekken 6 Archive (PSP combos)

I have a few notes and combos still on my laptop that I'll share in a moment or so (maybe tomorrow), Tekken 6 is near the end of it's longevity so I think I'll do what I can and just leave fragments...


BTW siick stuff I saw from combo team PI (Perfect Input), damn and I have to leave this place now....


Will update soon!!!! Kai!!! even Lee has been improved in TTT2, damn so much to talk about

Bleurr...etc etc...

CBA with any entries today, 6 days of lots of working hours cannot wait to reduce my hours when I start university.

KAHHH!!! (J)unkown TTT2 BIG-HAND, MURKY WATER, POISON PURPLE etc etc etc. Damn..namco really beefed her up.

BTW...brought the 2 large volumes of chobits part 1 and 2 today along with vol 1-4 of Omamori Himari manga, currently still reading Kimi Ni Todoke and Hayate the Combat Butler.....


*poof*

P.S. I'll do a more professional entry next time...

...and so the adventure continues

Well a lot has been going on, from the day I collected  my results (got into nottingham trent uni btw!!) til now.
I have quite a bunch to say and keep a note of, so lets start shall we?

Lee in TTT2
He's changed a little, this I don't mind to be fair, although I wished he had additional input moves, such as qcf, hcf, or more ss moves to be fair, I dunno what namco were thinking but hey we got a few 'toys' to play with.

New moves
ff+1+2, ok i'm not too sure about this, it wall breaks which sounds cool, frame-wise, lets hope it's within the i15 and below list, range wise, I hope it'll be as useful if not better than f+2,1.

fff_wr+3,4 cool

Changed/brought back

flick flack u,u/b

f,n,3+4 lee's sliding

f+1+2,3 revolution zwei is back

Well in about a 6 days from now a lot of TTT2 will be shown, information will be widespread, whilst people in japan will be enjoying/testing/competing with the TTT2 game, I'll probably be playing the upcoming Tekken Hybrid game (PS3). Hope that Lee's in the demo version, not just the 4 characters (ling, alisa, DJ, Kaz).

I had some raw, un editted footage I wanted to upload to youtube, my psp diary entry sorta thing. Guess I haven't had the time to do so.

Pretty tired now, so I'll leave it at that.

Peace
