The New Year

So it's officially 2011 (as of an 90 minutes ago anyway) and now I have to go through my resolutions. Got a promotion at my job (still need to find a better one) so that's on the list. I promised myself I will beat all those games I have like the new Castlevania, Dante's Inferno and whatever else I have up there I have never played. Of course I will be playing the new games coming out in the future and competing in them as long as I can make them.

MvC3 is coming out next month so I am really excited about that game and messing with those characters. I can't wait to compete in that game as I have never played one seriously before. I also promised myself I would try to better myself at Street Fighter (as well as any fighter I am playing) as I haven't gone as hard as I need to, to actually become good at the game. Overall I would rate myself as a solid 4-5 in games and that's on par with people who only know combos which isn't very good for how good I think I can be at the game.

As far as my youtube channel is going I plan on getting a few videos together critiquing myself (as a way to better myself) so hopefully it at the least entertains people.

Other than that just gonna be doing what I'm doing which is working, school, and practicing as much as I can.

Also GVN is coming up in Feb so if you're on the East Coast should make your way out to that as it's going to be a big tourney especially for MvC3 as it will be the first major on the EC for it!

Going to try something new. . .

So it's been over a week since I have blogged. Been working a lot more (which is great btw) but as a result I come home do a few things then pass out. Anyway other than work I have been trying to figure out a way to help out fighting game communities.

I have played most of the main fighters as of late (T6, SF, etc) and I also know people who are at the least knowledgeable about those games. Obviously my main game as of now is Super Street Fighter but I'm hoping to become a strong player in MvC3 and MK9 as well. I enjoy competing but I also love to critique myself (and others obviously) when it comes to games. In the SC2 community (Star Craft 2) there's a guy who does these insightful casts 5 days a week and basically breaks down what happened in a match. I think things like this could definitely be transferred over to fighting games I'm just not sure how yet.

I am going to try this and will be putting up on my youtube channel which will be my matches until I figure out a good formula for helping people that are at least my level. Hopefully I figure it out so that hopefully everyone can get better and find ways to improve their own game as well as helping me to improve my own. I'll be starting mainly with Street Fighter as I play that game as my main right now. I'll keep everyone updated as I go forward with it.
