Couple of interesting things I didn't know in there...

yeah shot that is pretty interesting. Knew it all anyway but not down to that much detail, try reading the frame data without it feeling like your doing your homework lol. man SF4's some serious shit .

[zos'la]

play the game, beat the player full stop

Was interesting to find that you take less damage the more 'injured' you are. Good find bro.

Yeah, that's been happening the whole time since World Warrior or so, but it's a lot more aggressive scaling in SF4!

The Ultra=2 hits thing explains why you get massive damage scaling just from Focus, Ultra - which I didn't understand before.

[[NIUE] weazzyefff]

yeah and you pretty much never get ultra without juggling except if you can go through projectiles or balrogs dash punching etc

Yeah Abels Ultra goes through fireballs so if you're at half screen or less and you can predict the fireball then BAM or if you have someone cornered and you make them think you're going to jump so they dragon and you can just punish them. Abels Ultra is actually quite good for punishing other people whiffed moves/ultras.

That's my biggest problem with the Seth vs Abel match, you can wail on him and kick his ass without too much trouble, and then as soon as he gets ultra you basically can't do anything, because if he hits it it's 70% of your life gone.
At least with ST the game doesn't become a snorefest for you when YOU do the damage.

Anyone else finshed it on Hardest, I just about had a heart attack fighting Seth. Never again, I actually enjoy all the fights up to Seth on Hardest but that guy just sux. The computer pulls some pretty cheap shit on Hardest though.

The hardest time trial is pretty tough I thought.

yip check my trophies i got the one beat gouken on hardest. took me ages the hardest thing for me was the 2 perfects oh and the losing a round and starting all over again. Seth takes more damage off on cpu and takes less when you hit him, and he also has the ability to read your mind WTFlol

I got that one on my second try. And the only reason I didn't get it the first time was because I hadn't beaten the game with Zangief prior to that, so it didn't let me fight Gouken.
