Thanks, I try to. You gotta try out more of Raizing's shooters. Garegga, Soukyugurentai and Batrider are amazing. Mars Matrix is also an amazing game too.

You gotta get a candy cab man, it's the shit. Midway/Atari and Neo Geo Big Reds are the only worthwhile US cabs. I myself need to get a Blast City, Sunset Riders would look erotic on it.

Parry. That's literally it. Do not let Akuma control space and make him afraid. Once Akuma gets his zoning game going he's as annoying as Remy but you can shut him down with Dudley. Also, his HK tatsu is -4 on block so you can punish it, and if he whiffs a LK tatsu you can punish that. Watch out for throws though.

thank u for the tips. i think a lot of it is working on parrying, i tend to avoid it except for standing fireballs and easy stuff like that but i should really start going for it more often, especially for obvious moves.

also yes, Fallout 2 is the best game in the series. as much as i enjoy new vegas i do think people suck the game off a little too hard at times, it's commonly called the "greatest western rpg" by people who haven't really played that much else even in the same series. funnily enough i do think this happens with 3rd Strike too to an extent.

3S is flawed but still the best SF game by far. Fallout 2 is everything I love about Fallout, right down to the gameplay. It's unfair but it scratches that itch I have. Also the humor in that game is a lot funnier than the other games, even if it gets a little too Familt Guy like at times.
