      Preparing Your Heart for Prayer
      O LORD, our Lord, your majestic name fills the earth! Your glory is higher than the heavens.
      (Psalm 8:1)
      So often in the psalms of David, he began with an acknowledgement of the greatness of God. It’s important for us to look at the attributes of God. It’s important for us to consider His unlimited power, His unlimited knowledge, and the fact that He is present everywhere.
      When Jesus taught the disciples to pray, He said, “Pray like this: Our Father in heaven, may your name be kept holy”
      (Matthew 6:9)
      We should begin our prayers with adoration. We should consider the love, justice, and holiness of God and get our thoughts in order.
      Thus, we start by recognizing who it is we are speaking to.
      God is our Father in Heaven, not our servant in Heaven, our butler in Heaven, or our vending machine in Heaven. We are speaking to the almighty God, the Creator of the universe. That puts things into perspective.
      This, by the way, is the reason we have a time of worship at the beginning of our church services. It prepares our hearts and helps us set aside the things that are distracting us and troubling us. It puts us into a frame of mind in which we can be refreshed, taught, strengthened, and, if necessary, corrected.
      Before we offer a word of petition in prayer, we are to worship the Lord and recognize who He is. As we do, we’ll begin to reexamine things, and we may not pray for what we originally intended to pray for.
      For instance, you may have wanted to pray that God would change your spouse or judge someone who has wronged you. But after spending time in the presence of God, you instead pray, “Lord, change me. Forgive me for the wrongs I’ve done. Change my heart.”
      Things will change in your petitions because you’re aligning yourself with God’s will. And that is the objective of effective prayer.

    I still play A1 on PS1 from time to time, Akuma is still the cheapest hidden boss in the game. A lot of newer players to the series don't realize how Akuma's A.I. was originally programmed.
    The trick to beating Akuma(Shin) was always to play with a defensive counterattack strategy, his algorithm was designed to counter any inputs you used against him, so allowing Akuma to be the aggressor without getting trapped in an corner with meter was always optimal. Whiff punish, footsies, and grappling are your best weapons against him, but even that will test your patience and skill level to a degree. But, it sharpens your reaction skills a bit, which can make you very OP against human players if you're a read and react type of player.

    • @tcchip
      @tcchip ปีที่แล้ว +23

      That's been pretty much the only strategy to fighting Akuma since Super Turbo. Even in crossover games like CvS2 and SVC Chaos, it's next to impossible to press buttons against Akuma without getting bodied. But if you wait it out long enough he does something stupid that you can punish (typically a Gou Shoryuken or the super version). But SVC had an added layer of his Raging Demon being a level 1 super with really fast startup (though thankfully the damage is low), so there's only so long you can turtle.

    I've also floated around the idea of a one-round, single-elim Tekken 1 side tournament with an entry fee of $1, but someone famous (i.e. _you_ ) needs to start it. There's so much cheap crap in the first game, it's probably oddly balanced in that way...
    Also, 04:56 I don't think that was a cancel. It just has extremely quick recovery time in this game. Get it meaty enough and you can 1f link into another. Saw it in a Zero Koubou video (which you can find here listed as "Street Fighter Zero (Combo Exhibition 2)")

Cleared the game with 1 credit after the reboot also. Recorded that one and was so stoked to have an Akuma clear/1cc back-to-back for it. Loved seeing the grapplers take him out here! Vodka is a master of finding those niche methods to get in, but I guess you gotta be as a grappler main! Love these showcases you are pulling at events!

      O LORD, our Lord, your majestic name fills the earth! Your glory is higher than the heavens.
      (Psalm 8:1)
      So often in the psalms of David, he began with an acknowledgement of the greatness of God. It’s important for us to look at the attributes of God. It’s important for us to consider His unlimited power, His unlimited knowledge, and the fact that He is present everywhere.
      When Jesus taught the disciples to pray, He said, “Pray like this: Our Father in heaven, may your name be kept holy”
      (Matthew 6:9)

    I played this a lot on PS1, and the easiest way to beat him is to pick Akuma, zone him out with air fireballs and teleport away whenever he teleports towards you. Getting above him with Chun Li's wall jump works too but be careful of his shoryuken. Kikoshou him if he dares to teleport in front of you.
