Work Your Way Up

GameDaily: Can you describe the types of tournaments you have set up and the championships you've won? How did you get to your level of sophistication with the series?

Seth Killian: I played in a bunch of smaller events during SF2's early days, but I got my national tournament start at the venerable Midwest Championships in Chicago, playing Super Street Fighter II. I had a bad case of nerves and got whipped in the quarter-finals, but loved the scale and the competition. I kept at it and was later able to return and win the event, and have been addicted to tournaments ever since. I played on the first ever U.S. National Street Fighter Team in Tokyo (where I also got whipped), and have since moved into organizing the EVO Championship Series, which has grown to become the biggest fighting competition in the world. I still love competing, but I don't recommend trying to run a major event and play in it at the same time -- both are extremely stressful, and although I have consistent top 10 finishes, I've never won EVO.

BLONDEAC1: Thanks for the advice. Definitely going to try that and see if it works. And Crimson Viper is a Goddess on the Scene. Ryu and Ken are the horrible ones. >:(

Vega all the way baby. YoDeeLaHeHoo. And as far as charging moves, try holding down and back so you are ducking. That way you AREN'T moving backwards but still charging. And the New Characters are horrible.

Shoto-clowns beware, The Red Cyclone is busted like A-Rod! This is my first Street Fighter, so I picked the guy who had hairy shins, low and behold, he's a beast. Nothing beats killing Ken or Ryu with Zangief. Be embarassed. Be very embarrassed. And Akuma sucks, but everyone already knew that.

These threads are full of criticism, haha. So funny. Stealthhop1 has a point! Sagat, Zangief and Seth are annoyingly overpowered. Which makes the game just that more exciting to beat. 8D

i wasnt sure wat to think of this game until i played ....n ill tell ive been playin SF for sumtime n this game is really good ...a mixture of SF2 n SF3...n the focus attacks are alot more complicated than wat seth is sayin...u gotta learn the timing of every attack.... the game is hot tho.....did anyone enter the Gamestop sf4 tournament?

LMAO this game is not balanced has anyone used Sagat or Zangief lately;iindeed, very overpowered unless the opponent has no grasp of the fighting mechanics. Liked the arty though. I liked in the old ones how you can stop special moves with just about any attack now its kind of just random.or you can use zangief's spin move that works about 90% of the time lol.

I like Crimson Viper. I'm moving away from Chun Li because she's supposedly easy and for beginners and it's soooooo easy to miss the opponent with her cheap Ultra Move. UGH!!!!!!!!!!!! First of all you have to hold the back button for a while to charge it, so you're moving her back and away from the opponent and you actually have to be close to the opponent to connect the Ultra Move so you're moving away to pull something off that you have to move close in to perform. What the heck Capcom?! What the Heck!!! And if you connect with the opponent but their in mid air, you'll actually kick them away from the Ultra Move!!! What the Heck Capcom!!?! What the Heck?!?!?
