Alanah Rae

So here’s the deal..Former UFC fighter Jon Koppenhaver, who legally changed his name to War Machine a few years ago attended a party last night for Porn Star Brooke Haven. Her Birthday party was being held at Ultimate Porn Studios in Van Nuys California..The craziness started when War Machine smacked up his porn star girlfriend Alanah Rae..He then dragged her outside where several people followed him, trying to stop him from hurting his girlfriend..He then laid out at least 8 people at the party..It was pretty much a massacre..Details are trickling in..The Police are still currently looking for him.. Remember, the guy is a MMA fighter turned Porn star. He has given up his seven-year MMA career to have sex for money…His porn dvd is yet to be released.More details to come.. -TO

Update: I have in fact spoken to War Machine’s Girlfriend Alanah Rae, who confirms that the former MMA star hit her across the face last night at Brook Haven’s Birthday Party..She claims he then went on to pummel almost a dozen dudes including his own porn agent Derek Hay..who still remains in the hospital recovering…more to come. -TO

Ever since I first put my eyes on Mortal Kombat [the retro game], I knew that I had to be into fighting games. After the other Mortal Kombat games, cuz there is a perioud of time, when they were my favourite games, I lost myself into Guilty Gears…which for me is the best anime themed fighting game.

Recently I’ve played a lot of Eternal Fighter Zero-Memorial.

Lots of lolis and lots of magical attacks. Yeah, I know I already said that. But it still surprises me, when I’m able to do a new trick.

And of course, if you played this one, you already know, that the Moon battle stage is the best in the game…lolis fighting up in the clouds.

Next are two videos I recorded, during playing. Enjoy!

I wanted to get down a few thoughts on ‘muscle memory’ before they get pushed out of my brain by some other  more important thought like, why I must wear trousers in the workplace. Anyway, muscle memory for those that don’t know is defined simply as;

“the ability to perform a repetitive action without conscious thought“

Think brushing your teeth, clicking your fingers or, if you’re Daigo, Shoryuken FADC’ing some poor sap’s ass into Metsu-hadoken. I’d imagine you’ve mastered the first two and are more interested in doing the latter as if it were no different to brushing your teeth.

The common advice is to just practise, practise, practise. Grind those combos out on the poor (I like to choose Sagat) training dummy till your fingers bleed. 100 times, 1000 times, whatever it takes. The thing is, there’s more to it than this, it’s not quite as easy.  I don’t know a great deal about the subject but I do know what does not work.

Muscle memory isn’t just about grinding those f, d, df+p, f+mp+mk, d, df, f, d, df, f+ppp motions as hard as possible. There needs to be a visual stimulus for these actions. I’m sure you’ve all walked up to the stationary training dummy and bashed out 5 in a row only to start a match against a real player and get that horrible feeling that you don’t even know where to start with the motion you’ve been repeating successfully in the training room.

I may come back to this later but here’s some observations regarding muscle memory I’ve noticed.

Combos on a stationary dummy don’t translate to those on a real opponent. You need to replicate the same visual cues as a real opponent i.e, this happens, then I bust out this fantastic motion. Unless your opponent plays exactly like the dummy your training won’t be that fruitful.

Combining different ‘muscle-memorised’ motions together rarely works. I can perform this combo every time yet when I precede it with say a jump attack, it all goes wrong.

Tying to do a complex, long string of motions can make even simple segments (usually the first bits) that you can do fine on their own go wrong. I can Dragon Punch 100% obviously yet when I want to add a FADC onto the end, my DP starts going wrong. I can hit confirm jabs into a SRK almost 100% yet when I think I want to add a FADC on to the end, my SRK suddenly starts coming out a frame or so slower and is blocked.

I can jab rhythmically then link into a SRK yet if I mash jabs quickly, my success rate for the SRK link drops dramatically.

I can deep anti-air SRK like Daigo’s long-lost stepbrother, yet when I try to add FADC-Ultra to the end, my SRK comes out as a Tatsu, or a small dog, or nothing.

My ability to react quickly with a DP against a jumping opponent does not translate to my ability to reaction punish DP an opponent who I’ve just blocked an attack from.

Anyway, I think you get the point. I will ponder this some more and possibly return to this subject later.

If you want to truly understand how to play the game then you need.. well, you might not need to know but it helps if you have an understanding of what is happening ‘under the hood’ when playing Street Fighter, any fighter for that matter. The following is taken from a post I made on the SRK boards fairly recently.

Fighting games might look pretty on the outside but inside, they’re nothing more than a few ugly coloured boxes flickering around (yes even Chun) Now this is so much easier to understand if you have access to HD: Remix and its training mode. Buried in the options is a switch to turn on display of each character’s hitboxes. Your characters body is made up of blue boxes, these are what your opponent is trying to hit. Push a button (a slower attack is preferable) you’ll now see a red box appear at the end of the attacking limb. This is your active hitbox, this appears after the startup frames of the move’s animation has elapsed and is what you are trying to hit your opponent with. It stays on the screen for a number of ‘active’ frames. The game really is as simple as getting your red boxes onto the opponents blue boxes while avoiding the opposite. Important Note: Red boxes hitting red boxes does nothing!! You must hit their blue box. If you can picture these boxes fighting while you play, preferably in a matrix style bullet-time then you will be the next Daigo. Probably. For the rest of this post I will refer to your ‘body’ hitboxes quite simply as the blue box and you guessed it, active ‘hitting’ boxes as your red box (just as they appear in HDR)

The image shows the boxes which lay beneath the actual sprites/models of each fighter as they appear in HD:R training mode. You can see Ken’s leg has a blue box and then extending further past this is a red box. You can see Ken’s trailing leg is not hittable at all, there’s no blue box. For some attacks the limb may not have any blue at all and just be one long red box, this is obviously good as the move doesn’t stick out a vulnerable blue box. If you imagine hitting the punch button, what you will probably see is a blue arm box extend out and stay there for say 3 frames (this is described as the move’s startup time) On the 4th frame the move becomes active and slaps a red box on to the end, protruding further forward than the blue ‘arm’ box. The red box will hang around for a few frames (the active period of a move, longer being described as a ‘meaty’ attack). The red box will dissapear leaving just the blue arm box sticking out (the recovery phase). Obviously you’re pretty vulnerable at this point if the red bit didn’t hit your opponent’s blue boxes.

As you can see, the game doesn’t use the actual sprites/3D models intersecting to work out who is hitting who, they’re just too oddly shaped and simple boxes will suffice. This is why you’ve probably found yourself screaming “that never hit me!!” at the tv a few times, some hitboxes extend way beyond the actual character image (hello Zangief lariat) The game engine evaluates these boxes so many times a second (probably 60) to work out if either player is hitting the other. It then needs to work out if the move was blocked successfully or not. To keep things simple, If the move is flagged as a high or normal move then a low or high block is successful, if it’s a low move (not necessarily linked to how low the boxes are) then only low blocks are successful , a move flagged as an overhead needs to be blocked high (i.e not holding down-back).

It is entirely possible that when the game compares the current hitboxes, both players have red boxes overlapping their opponent. In this scenario you have what’s called a trade, both players get hit. This usually happens with attacks that actually move the character across the screen quickly, the boxes are drawn and then slide up/along the screen. Think of a dragon punch moving upwards quickly to an opponent doing a jumping attack moving downwards quickly. If the game engine checked the hitboxes much quicker, every time a box moved even one pixel then this probably wouldn’t happen because one player’s red box will pretty much always hit the other’s blue first. Dragon punching a jump kicking opponent probably moves each player’s boxes a good few units of space closer to each other per ‘frame’ or check the game engine does. A trade could also happen if two moves became active on the same frame and red boxes ‘appeared’ overlapping blue, each player hitting the other.

A good scenario to see why understanding hitboxes is useful is anti-airing (hitting your opponent ’s jump attack). You might have to use your imagination somewhat here but what you see in this image is Ryu on the left doing a crouching fierce uppercut (you all know what that looks like) to anti-air Ken jumping down from the right with a jump roundhouse (the long red box is his leg). If you imagine Ken’s boxes arcing down towards Ryu’s fist you can see that as the red boxes pass through each other, Ryu’s red fist box will hit Ken’s vulnerable blue leg box before the opposite happens, Ken will get hit (cheer). Notice how Ken’s red leg box ‘protects’ the blue body boxes very well from the front but hardly at all underneath and notice the exact opposite with Ryu’s uppercut; protruding far above his body but only a little out front. If Ken jumped from further back, his red box would move in to the side of Ryu’s boxes and touch his blue body box long before his red arm box hits the front of Ken’s blue box. Some people when discussing this reduce the concept down to simple priority i.e. crouch fierce has higher priority than jump roundhouse. As you can see this isn’t sufficient, it’s entirely dependant on spacing and how the boxes intersect.

So from this we can gather, crouch fierce is a good AA for opponents coming down on your from above but not so much from the side (far jump attacks) Timing is crucial though, do it too early and you’re in recovery frames and the big red box protecting your still elevated arm (the middle blue box) disappears and you get hit. The key point to understanding all of this in terms of effectively anti-airing is to understand that each move has its boxes positioned differently to suit a particular angle of attack of your opponent. The more the red box ‘protects’ the blue box the better. You can see that some attacks are designed purely to hit opponents jumping at you from a particular angle, use this to your advantage, find distances that your jump attacks beat the boxes of your opponent’s anti-air attacks.

This image looks pretty cryptic, it’s actually two (torso-less) players sticking a sweep out at each other, but I’ve raised the player 2 up above so they don’t overlap. The skin coloured blobs are feet (no really they are) The hardcore readers may have guessed P1 is a roundhouse sweep (foot pointing up) versus a low forward sweep (toes pointing out further than the actual box) Look very carefully and you can see the roundhouse sweep’s red box is a little longer and is touching low forward sweep’s blue box but not vice versa. This would only happen if the player 1 hit the button a frame or 2 before as the roundhouse sweep is a little slower (takes longer for the red box to appear) than the low forward sweep.

Inviiiiiiiiinciiiiiiible

Ryu’s Fierce DP has some pretty mean hitboxes, quite surprisingly it offers much better protection from the front than above (eat this Dhalsim). Left is Ryu fierce Shoryuken’ing jump-roundhouse Ken. You can see it doesn’t actually extend that high above Ryu’s head (blob = fist) and covers screen space out in front not actually occupied by Ryu’s actual spite/model. A jump attack which extends it’s red box very low (Sagat’s j.mp elbow in SFIV) can often trade with the DP.

Some attacks have completely invincible startup frames, think of just a red box, no blue box to hit. Ryu’s fierce DP has a completely invincible start-up and the first active frame (when the red appears) is invincible also. This means that if you execute a fierce DP deep/late i.e a split second before the opponent’s jump attack meets your face, your red box appears on its first active frame, still invincible, hitting your opponent without them  being able to do the opposite. Execute the DP early and the invincibility has worn off and you may end up trading damage.

If you have access to it, fire up HD: Remix and have a look at some of the weirder hitboxes, Blanka’s electricity, Zangief’s lariat etc. It’s really very interesting to see the game working at this level, hopefully they’ll see fit to include this feature in SSFIV. Fingers crossed.

Taki and her funbags (SoulCalibur)

Tekken, Street Fighter, Soulcalibur, Dead or Alive, these are just a few of the countless fighters available on the market today.

With a vast array of characters for each title it’s hard to say who boasts the best cast of fighters. With each game, different mechanics tweak the play and flow of the game, making it easy for players to choose their preferred style.

With frantic combat, a great counter system and a great roster of original characters Soulcalibur has always held top spot on my shelves.

So talk! what’s your favorite fighter and why?

I don’t know how long it’s been since I blogged, a couple of months? Whatever. I’ve been really tired lately, for no reason too. Shit just hasn’t been working the way I wanted it to, so yea. I decided to take a break from fighting games for a while, need to calm my brain over this obsession, play some other stuff, and finish the backlog that I have. The recent weeks has been chill, life wise anyway. So I’m gonna try to keep it like that for a while.

*yawn*

Need more sleep apparently. Damn……

P.S. Super Street Fighter IV is getting more hype by the second. With the recent annoucement of Guy,Cody, and Adon, this is shaping up to be a worthy sequel to Vanillla Street Fighter IV and, in some cases, better.

P.P.S.: I do plan to write in this blog more. My good computer got a virus and basically doesn’t work anymore, so I wasn’t able to do much. But I still blog when I can, hopefully more now that I have a little bit of time on my hands.

P.P.P.S (yes, 3 P’s): Tekken 6 is awesome. End of story.

What a long, boring day… 3 long lessons with basically nothing to do.
Worst is the English C class I had in the afternoon, I have to write an academic paper, 6 pages and I have no idea on how to start.
My topic is about how the evolution of martial arts of the 20th and now 21st century has gone.
But where to start, how to find and construct the information is the biggest mystery…I have no idea.

I wanna especially take up the topic about MMA and the UFC.
Personally, I am no fan of MMA, also known as mixed martial arts, and when I watch the UFC matches… I get like…what the fuck is this?

In my opinion MMA is nothing but brutes just pounding the living fuck out of one another with ruthless kicking and punching, and then they know some good wrestling moves on the ground…but nothing more, no technique, no dicipline and most importantly; no honour.
This isnt real martial arts, for there is no ART in this sport, or blood sport as I call it.
No, I prefer the traditional Wushu and all those other traditional east asian martial arts, which I feel is the true artforms of combat and selfdefense.

I would like to give a tip for a good movie; ‘Wushu’ from 2008 starring and directed by Sammo Hung, produced by Jackie Chan and introdcuing the rising wushu stars Wenjie Wang and Fengchao Liu, seen on the above pic with Jackie himself.
Great movie about a bunch of kids growing up at a wushu academy, learning about life and wushu when they ultimately must use their power to defeat evil.
It is kinda B, but the acting is good and very, very well choreographed, and the Wushu competition scenes are breathtaking.

Though, to change to another subject from all the violence; I created a little but very nice playlist on Spotify, filled with some of my personal favorite love songs ^^
-So just download the playlist HERE and enjoY~~
