About Me


Old-school gamer. I started gaming with the Atari 2600. I became an addict with the arcade release of Street Fighter II at my college. The SNES release pushed me into buying that system and a lame arcade stick. I haven't looked back since then. I still consider the 16-bit to be the Golden Age of gaming. The current generation is keeping me pretty happy, especially with the fighting game renaissance that's happening lately. And, yes, I'm old.

Proud owner of: Kiwi Gameboy Color, GBA SP, GBA Micro, PSP 3000, White DS Lite, Silver NeoGeo Pocket, purple SwanCrystal, SNES, Genesis, N64, purple Gamecube, slim PS2, Dreamcast, Wii and PS3.

Favorite Games: Last Blade 2, Street Fighter Alpha 2, Mark of the Wolves, Zelda: A Link to the Past, Zelda: Minish Cap, Dark Stalkers, King of Fighters, Mega Man ZX, Ikaruga, Macross: Do You Remember Love, Raiden Trad, Zelda: Phantom Hourglass, Valkyria Chronicles, Professor Layton, Killer7



Games on my mind:
Super Street Fighter II HD Remix (PS3)

King of Dtoiders - Day 3
nilcam | 10:53 AM on 09.16.2009 9 comments




I spent Day 3 mastering some new techniques with Kim. I know he's the weakest link in my team, so I'm putting in a lot of time and effort mastering him. He's one of my favorite characters to play so I'm definitely dedicated. I find he has serious disadvantages against Ash and Andy which is forcing me to adjust my game a bit to compensate. I'm working on learning to control the speed of the match better and to improve my punishment game. Kim has serious potential; I just need to unlock it.

I noticed something interesting in the course of playing. The AI is much better if you create an online room for friends only and then enter the game. You'll play a much more aggressive AI. It's very helpful for mastering those techniques you've learned in training but need to master against an attacking opponent.

A few notes
8 players have competed thus far. I won't be on Saturday so the remaining 7 players have the next 3 days to complete their 5 games of week 1. Remember that there are no make up games. If you miss this week, you'll have 5 fewer potential wins.

I think I'll try to get my games in on friday; I practiced a bit with Shen and Goro last night. They both have some mean little poke combos.
