Good stuff. The first week everyone is an expert. Then it's the Fraud Attrition. A lot of good matches not on stream tonight.
That Dictator/Cammy matchup looked really bad. I mean unwinnable.

Will have to check it out. I felt like I was timing stuff correctly but I thought my friend was just beating me out based on frame data looks like it may have been the program instead.
Snake was wrecking with Gief last night.
There really is no bad characters right now
I wish I could find the video of this high ranked Nash player Floe played yesterday, he did the sickest punish combo I've watched so far. You would think he was playing Marvel
Also watching FourWude play Ryu is an eye opener. He makes him look so fast.

If you didn't know, Gootecks from Cross Counter is doing a video series on Street Fighter 101. These are super super basic fighting game stuff and he even says if you have a passing knowledge of fighting games they may be too basic. But since it is a new launch and may be some newcomers thought I'd link it.
Gootecks may not win EVO but he really loves to coach, treach, and fighting games.

FTFY
I've heard nothing but good things about his "pay sessions" except from those who challenge him and lose $$$. He wont even play you in a friendly unless you pony up. Can't really blame him though.
edit: I'm serious though, if you're in the LA area and you have a disposable income, you can contact him and for like 150$ an hour he'll invite you over and teach you how to play. Every so often I get to hear a Gootecks story at work. Apparently he lives right near where I work (Pershing Square'ish)

$150 an hour seems excessive, especially with Gootecks. Air was charging $40 an hour during AE2012 and Air can at least get into top 8 in a legit tournament. I don't know if he still does it though.
This doesn't mean you can't teach. I understand a lot of the high level stuff in the games I play, can I do them ? Nope. I don't have the time investment for the execution side so when I get in to certain scenarios my execution fails. I am sure there are top 8/top 16 players that can't teach their respective game.

Not a derail at all, I find that shit fascinating. I threw the 150 number out of my ass. It's expensive, and every once in a while I'll meet someone who's done it, or done the "lobby thing" where he charges a much smaller amount to skype or something with a small group and do lobby matches. I don't think these people are pro's they're people like me who have some extra money and just looking to have fun.
If my wife wouldn't kill me I'd probably do it as a vacation to go get baked and play video games in the same way normal adults used to do those sports fantasy camps and shit in the 80s and 90s

Out of anyone in the FGC I think CrossCounter has been the "most successful" in building an online brand. Maybe sp00ky as far as the streaming and organization end? There are shirt manufacturers and other novelty items, but they've done a pretty good job of taking a passion and building stuff around it. The weekly video series tend to get good views, they have a fairly consistent hosting presence at the larger tourneys, and it seems like they continue to branch out and try new things. It is pretty awesome and wish I had half the drive of them. So yeah, charge $150 or whatever you can get out of it if people will pay it. I think we went over a lot of this two years ago or something in the other thread.
