Speaking of which, we haven't played in a long time. I'm sure you would hand me my ass on a platter now. I stopped playing online for a while because it seemed like I was getting nothing but shitty connections everytime I played. I was playing people I know I SHOULD have been able to beat, but couldn't because of lag.

He used to live in Tucson and was a prodigy when it came to video games in general. Yes, he only has one hand, thus his nickname (OHT = One Handed Terror of Tucson). His left hand never developed fully when he was born, but he never let that stop him from doing anything he wanted to do. He is a well-respected player that did very well in national tournaments for Street Fighter and Tekken. And yes, he has an extremely nasty T. Hawk in SSF2T.
He lives up in Cali now... all of the boys here in Tucson miss seeing him around and hanging out with him. Great guy with a wicked sense of humor. Easily the best gamer that ever came out of Tucson.

Best Ibuki player I have faced on Live is JAPAN, he is one player who deserves his rank. His Ibuki rushdown is very impressive, very hard to time when to counter-attack because of his constant pressure. I seldom even attempt to red-parry him anymore because then I just end up eating the beginings of a combo afterwards.
Only character I can beat him consistently with is Makoto, she is a good matchup for an aggressive Ibuki player because it can stop the Ibuki rushdown player from being agrressive for fear of parry+karakusa = 100% stun combo. If I get the chance next time I play him I may film some matches for viewing online, his Ibuki is a really good example of how Ibuki should be played.
Edit: Actually, now that I think about it my friend Tian has one of the best Ibuki's in Australia and is coming over this week for some SF3 action, I will just replay save his matches...his Ibuki is as good as Japan's anyway. Offline play is always better than online even if the connection is 99% lag free - it still aint the same.

Damn AZ sounds like a good hookup. We're lucky to have arcades here
We wish. The scene here is pretty dead. Hell the most happening comp is at my place on Friday nights when everyone comes over for some SF,KOF, or Tekken.
Phoenix has it a bit better as far as arcades but its also spread very thin.

Bring on the vids! I play decently against the AI, but when teh lag is thrown in i can barely land a punch. (my first match I barely even touched the guy because the lag was so bad) My Ibuki needs all the help she can get.
