Post-release Super Street Fighter 4

I dont get it ><

What it lets you do, is plink (you know what plinking is, right) without consequence.

Say you're doing Ryu's cr.mp, cr.mp, cr.hk combo. The cr.mp, cr.hk link is a one frame link - that's as tight as it gets in this game. With traditional plinking, you do cr.hk, followed very very very closely with cr. mk, so that you get this in training mode with input display turned on:

If you plinked properly:

MK HK
HK

If you fucked up your plink:

MK
HK

Since select and back aren't actual game inputs (pressing select does nothing to your character - you can still block, jump, whatever, without them becoming any more vulnerable than if you hadn't pressed it at all) you aren't in any more trouble if you happen to fuck it up. Using the same combo as an example, a successful "b-link" will give you this on the input display:

Properly:

HK
HK

Fucked it up:

HK

Also, to be able to plink, you need to press something lower in the priority chain. This means that you can't plink LP, because there's nothing lower than that - Using select means that limitation no longer applies, and you can plink anything you want.

I'm going to go ahead and ask: Will this be allowed at Nats ? I'm going to change my "3P" button to Select tonight for this purpose. Will I be banned and called a cheater for life ?

OMG.... thats funny ahahha.
But then again, who needs to plink LP, LK....
not much use to me ^^
but thanks for explaining

People with one frame lp/lk links would want to plink, I'd have thought that was fairly obvious.

Too hard to detect to be able to enforce a ban.

Exactly - and like I said, it's not JUST for people with one frame lp/lk links... the fact that it can be your "plink button" for anything means that ANYTHING can be plinked without accidentally hamming it up and getting an input you didn't necessarily want

[[NIUE] weazzyefff]

Are you sure you can change that button to select button though?

[zos'la]

just re wire it.

Step 1: Open up TE
Step 2: Move wires around
Step 3: Close TE
Step 4: Daigo runs scared from my godlike execution

[[NIUE] BIRRY WONG]

Daigo just txt me. He says he has all his inputs mapped to select. He controls the other buttons by inserting his wang into a hole in the bottom of his TE so that he can get a 6xb-link.

Sorry Eru. He's one step ahead of you.

[[NIUE] weazzyefff]

Oh yeah.

THat's pretty onto it. But I don't play any chars that would benefit from it anyway.

And LOL at Daigo's way.

[[NIUE] weazzyefff]

That would make it way harder mane. Wayyy haarrdderrr..

I only use plinking for Mp,HK punish without charge too by the way, the rest is my mad execution steez.

[Pinolicious]

I finally own this, although I'm still scrub, I will unleash at Nationals!  Lol

So it looks like the arcace version will give us more new chars and I guess console DLC to match?

[[NIUE] BIRRY WONG]

I have to point out that in the top right, it says there is a total of 35 characters. Which is what we have in console super.

It also mentions 18 new characters, which are just the new characters in super, and the console characters from vanilla. "here comes a new challenger" could just mean these characters.

Im not gonna get hype for new characters at this stage, but im looking forward to hearing more about it.
