I am yet to win a single round against a E. Honda player since I resumed playing SSF2T online!  
I am a Ken / Ryu guy mostly but i use E Honda as a second choice, if you know how to use him he can wreck shop

Score update, page 2.
2,043,000 at wave E4. Hopefully this is enough for a top 3 score.

I hope to not see Joust again for a good while.

For SSF2:T, E. Honda is by far the worst match up for Zangief.
And I only play Zangief there. I refuse to pick a lesser fighter!

Flock away before I wool you out!

159% chance that Bea's score is good enough for the finals.

I am just sort of satisfied that I could roll the score twice.
But by Odin's beard, am I burnt out of it...

Alas, it is almost 11 pm for me and I need to sleep.  
I guess I will only know if this was enough and the final scores for the week in some 8 or so hours from now.

Same here, except I'm just watching the final scores roll in and I've never had a wardrobe accident.

I would "Bea" worried about her scores if I was in the tournament.

I was always a Ryu guy since I was a kid given that he looked like me. Now I look like Dean Ambrose. That's worked in my favor more than a few times since he grew up right down the street from me. As far as I know he's the only former WWF/WWE champion from Cincinnati.

Out of respect for you as my competitor, I will post my score now. As it stands at this moment, you have nothing to worry about from me. Hopefully, Red will post up his score too.

Joust - 124,000

I did not fare well with this game, though I do find it to be fun. I also don't feel I put enough time in. Or maybe I just suck at it. Happy to compete with you all this year. I'll probably still grind this out a bit as I know I can get more, but it's not clear whether that score will happen at this time. Cheers!

Good luck in the final round. I hope I made you sweat, even if just for a little bit

Yes, I was worried if it would be enough to beat Red. On the second round my 3 million score wasn't enough to beat Stryphos!

Anyway, I guess I should post this publicly now:



Only 12 waves because watching me do the same thing for over 2 hours would be entirely too boring.

The AI is pretty predictable on this game, even though the first several waves are infuriating due to how slow and pacifist the AI is.
The main trick is to move little, observe the AI patterns and react accordingly. They will always come to you, usually trying to set up the same traps that you can see coming a mile away.
If you start flying around, you will be lamb for slaughter and your enemies will flock at you then wool at how pathetic you are.
For the pterodactyl, staying on the top or the bottom platforms is a must. You will know when they are vulnerable when they are leveled with you and aren't flying in a sine pattern.
Otherwise, their flying pattern is pretty easy to observe and they will usually hunt the other enemies if you stay still.
Pretty easy game all things considered, but it gets old after a while.
