SSF4 AE Notes – Fight your Opponent, not your Memory
Ahoi all,
Current features:
- An individual page for each character means never having to sift through random notes hoping to find the one you want.
- Fast page load times means not having to worry about not having enough time to find who you want.
- Notes are saved automatically as long as you don’t Rage Quit(phone’s back button)
- Built in evesdropping defense makes it harder for opponents to see what you’re typing.
- 39 new pieces of fan art make finding characters simple.

If there are any features you would like to have, lmk and I’ll do what I can to add them. If you find any bugs/mistakes, instead of getting salty, lmk so I can fix them.
Fight your opponent, not your memory.

Beginners Guide to Your First Tournament
Ahoi,
After spending a couple days in Tokyo practicing Super Street Fighter Arcade Edition and then playing in the Indonesian Fighting Game Championship(Props to Advance Guard for hosting such an awesome fighting game tournament), I’ve learned a bunch of new things and much of the experience from MtG tournaments came back to me.
- Murphy’s Law is a Mother Fucker: Don’t think your arcade stick will break? It will. Hoping to get an easy bracket? You won’t, enjoy playing pros round two. 80% of the battle is played in the game, the other 20% is not letting Murphy’s Law distract you from winning.
Think Darth Vader will obey the rules, well……
- CAN YOU HEAR THE HYPE?!?!?!: For a lot of players, their gaming atmosphere is often sitting at home playing SSF4/KoFXIII/etc online or hanging out with some friends, relatively quiet with maybe some music in the background or your friends having a conversation on how your character is cheap. Now think of how loud the last concert/sporting event/etc you went to was and imagine that noise right behind you while you’re playing.
- Your Opponent isn’t Psychic, You just hit Buttons like a game of Wack a Mole: If you’re going to be playing side by side, you and you opponent will be able to see each other’s hands moving as well hear each other’s buttons. This may not seem like much, but if your opponent hears/sees you button mashing after getting knocked down, they have a good idea what you’re trying to do.
- Don’t let Downtime knock you down and out: Most online warriors are spoiled in that when they want to play a match, they have their next match at their fingertips, one right after another. Real tournaments don’t work that effeciently despite how much work the tournament organizers put in, people go get food/take a piss break/just leave without telling anybody/etc.
Having to keep alternating between peak performance and resting is taxing and adds up quickly in a long event. - Outside of a match, Everybody is really Cool: The only time that is taken seriously at a tournament is during a match, besides that everybody is there to learn how to get better, meet other players and most of all, have a good time.
I flew into Jakarta for the Indonesia Fighting Game Championships not knowing anybody and ended up having one of the best weekends of my life hanging out with Zhi and Xian, getting to know a bunch of Indonesian players and learning a lot about Indonesia in the process (their food is god tier). - Brain Food doesn’t come from a Vending Machine: Eating Doritos and chugging Mountain Dew may be your go to food during an all nighter but during a tournament, you need to be at your best, eat/sleep well and drink lots of water to keep hydrated.
If you have any other words of wisdom for fellow Super Street Fighter Arcade Edition beginners, post them in the comments.

Patience – Know Your Role and Shut Your Damn Mouth
Ahoi,
Just finished watching the ssf4 ae finals of the capcom-unity tournament where we see metagaming play a part in Super Street Fighter Arcade Edition and I relearned something that is improving my gameplay dramatically, patience.
“But it’s a fighting game, I can’t win unless I bring my opponent has 0 health.”
That’s one way to look at it, but the bigger picture is that whomever has the most health at the end of the match wins regardless if it’s 500-0 or 1000-999, the most health wins. Hence how the people still awake at the end of an SFxT match can call it a win.
When you’re up on health, you don’t have to do anything except not lose health, the onus is on your opponent to take the lead by trying to hit you. Ss long as you know your role as target and can out yomi your opponent, you win.
When your role is needing to hit your opponent, patience is also a huge factor. If you hit for only a little bit, your opponent only needs to do a little more to put you back into this situation, hence the need to do as much damage as possible when you have an opening is crucial.
On to one of the best ssf4 ae examples of patience I’ve ever watched, Snake Eyez vs Justin Wong Continue reading

The Slump – How to Quit Feeding the Big Fish

Well, I can officially say that I’m in a yomi tournament slump. 1-3 in the yomi team draft tournament, losses in the final CrystalChaos weekly tournaments, ditto the Yomi Tournament for Science and Literacy, and every one of deluks’ qualifiers so far.

Yomi Cross Up Guide
A quick reference on Yomi cross ups or what a good attack would be if your opponent is knocked down and you don’t know if they’re holding more odd or even blocks. This is only meant to be a general feel for what they may use and still dependent on: what your opponent draws, what you have already seen, opponent’s playstyle, etc.
Why cross up your opponent in yomi? A successful cross up in yomi can be thought of as a 1 cp throw that counts for powering up after a combo.
Remember, faces get blocked regardless of odd/even.
Magic the Gathering Beginners Guide
Ahoi,
Building blocks to tournament level Magic the Gathering play.
- Know your Metagame: As I’ve said before, metagaming plays a large part of MtG. Having a rock to smash a field of scissors is an awesome feeling. That five card combo pet deck of yours may be fun but is it a good choice against the field you expect to see? If not, changing decks is probably a good idea. This lead me to point 2.

Burn Out – How to Keep from Becoming Extinguished
Ahoi,
An article that isn’t a Yomi tournament report, that’s a first. Time to start posting on how to improve your game.
You know that feeling you get when no matter how hard hard you want something, impediments keep getting in the way and add to the fustration? That’s where I was at trying to get into top 10 on the yomi leaderboard with Val as well as with SSF4 ae in general. A week full of Sets/Jaina make any bad draws by Val into bad games and that any loss negates 2+ wins, makes it much more difficult to keep any gains more than a few games.
In SSF4 ae, playing against Ryu so much as Juri makes winning a difficult chore. His better fireball, dp and more efficient damage output are all challenging to overcome.
So, how do I keep from raging and hulk smashing screens when winning just isn’t happening? Continue reading
