GGs tonight Pax!!!

Ive figured out some cool stuff with Gen tonight.... easy links to hit confirm the super off...  hopefully make him more evil.

Trying to see if I can get the cr.jab to link into the st.strong with any consistency.

Ive ordered the madcatz from mightyape.co.nz
very costly~~ shoryuken.com reckon the mad catz sticks are worth it, and high recommended arcade stick.

The cr.lp xx hjc xx ultra one?

You gotta do the motion like

d, df + lp, f, uf, d, df, f+PPP

You'll know if you're doing the first motion right because the cr.lp will cancel into a forward high jump.

Yup TY.
Gonna give it a try in the morning. I also read don't start holding down during the s. short cause it needs a quick down motion to get the HJC.
Anyway, was thinking Viper looked pretty cool but i'm quickly turning away from her

[iMagneto]

working hard to get those things heh

Hard to disagree really... it IS fun, but fuck if it doesn't have some insanely difficult combos and annoying mechanics...

Haha, and here's his 'positives about sf4' post

I think he might just be jealous of its success if you ask me.  The tone of hiswriting in these articles is alot different to most  his other stuff.

Yeah I think he's a bit over the top for this one, but I do feel the jumps are a little wrong, quickrise I have no problem with but if you slow rise it just takes forever to get up... really annoying as the attacker to time a jump in against a quickriser only to have them not get up... then you can jump over them TWICE before they get up again (and neither jump is far enough away to do a crossup).

Maybe I need to take the time to back-dash or walk backwards so I can time another crossup instead.

It does annoy me how utterly superpowered reversal uppercut moves are, you basically just can't meaty attack half the cast when you knock them down. I really can't come up with a decent okizeme in this game. In ST I could c.mk x2 with Dictator pretty much for free. Or crossups would often make their dragon punches come out the wrong way. In this, dps automatically turn round (with the exception of C.Viper's HP tk, which always goes the wrong way. Fuck her moves are annoying).

GAH!

Yeah I totally agree with your point about Wake up dragon being so good.  Wouldnt be so bad if it werent for the fact that mos of the wake up drgon type moves have armour break as well.

I dont mind the get up stuff.  Just adds another layer of strategy to it if you ask me.  Sometimes I get up fast, and some times I get up slow... messes with thier timing a bit, particularly effective for when a character is trying to keep you pinned with a meaty projectile.

As for sirlin, I dont know if I agree that the game favours runaway and turtling though.  I think its more about zoning and poking.  There is little reward for turtling imo.  All you do is fill up thier ultra bar faster meanwhile getting off a few potshots.  Not to mention against turtles you can sit in thier sweep range and continually FADC back to eat thier attacks and fill your ultra.

Not strictly relative to gameplay, but has anyone, on PS3 atleast, who didn't order the Collectors Edition, been able to download the Grapplers Pack?

And for you Xbox users, is the Ladies pack out on Euro Live?

[fluxcore]

Nah, not available yet.

GGS to Flux and his ryu expert friend (who's name I forgot since my hippy brain is swiss cheese) on the weekend. And for the hospitality to South Island Scrubs 

BTW what sort of sticks did you have in your cab there flux. Forgot if They were if they were square or octagonal gate helluva noooice.

Modded my stick by adding an extra spring, wouldn't mind finding an octagonal gate if I can. Will try and hunt down some button prices tomorrow.

Also Local hit me up for some NZISM member PS3 games! Flux and co can kick my ass if you want yard stick to measure from.

CptMunta is the username.

Cheers again for a top weekend guys! BTW anyone get a connection over 3 bars? By bro lives 15 minutes away by car and that's all I can get. Still silky smooth connection all the same.
