Why do you use the character you main?
Just out of curiosity :)
I use e.honda because i wanna be like mike (ross) lol
gone from cody back to fei poor cody cant handle too much pressure no real good reversal to get people off him.
I play Abel (and have done since SF4 release) because he's fast, has great offensive options, does a lot of damage and takes very little - it lets me take a few risks when playing, which fits my play style really well.
More importantly though, he's a big fucking frenchman. Instant winner.
King of Muay Thai reporting in.
I use sim cause when I use other characters I lose.
Vega
honestly don't want to play anyone else anymore, despite the game not being particularly nice to him.
I like to play as charge characters mostly. I think that my main character choice is Blanka. Hes all full of suprizes and mixups. He doesn't rely on combos and FADC stuff like other characters and hes fairly easy enough to use. Well theres alot of characters I like using apart from Blanka really for most capcom titles
Still deciding, I really like Cody but find it quite difficult to play as him since I'm way better at charge motions than quarter circles.
Fuerte, because no other character plays like him. Im not a big fan of how turtley SF4 is, and Fuerte feeds my urge to push buttons.
His biggest strength is his ability to reveal an opponents pattern and thought process, which is what makes his mixups so effective, since you end up knowing how your opponent is going to react and you can mix them up accordingly. People dont like guessing wrong in a 50/50 mixup game, but they dont realise that if the fuerte player is anywhere decent, the mixup odds are more like 70/30 in fuertes favour.
Also, the crowd loves him.
M.Bison.
Just because he's an evil Dictator and that appeals to me, he has "Psycho" powers (fuck yeah!) and his win quotes are awesome :P
Trying my best to main Guile, looking to channel ModInside's flashy style while also trying to be as solid and smart as Yoshiwo.
Also, I've been dusting off my M.Bison again and thinking of maining him and using Guile as my secondary as his rushdown style suits me better.
Maybe.
I've always like shotos... the projectile and srk looks good^^
I hate charge chars and thats prolly why I am not using Chun when though I like her very much...
Ryu has been my all time favourite but never really got to use him since alpha series... 3s I use ken.
But yeah the main reason whould be he does similar style Karate as I do, Shotokan and I do Goju Ryu which originated from the same ancestors?
Also he looks cool^^ as he is a couple with Chun it makes it even better!!!
On top of all these, the Beast also uses him :) which makes my learning much easier as I can find vids of many gameplays for top players vs my char which helps a lot in the learning process.
Ryu has never been with Chun :/
SF4 = Blanka
SSF4 = Cody & Juri as they are more fun, though i'm not very good with them
I hate Abel and Cammy coz they kick my butt
Mained Chun since day1 vanilla. Andy wanna d8?
Straight up love her character design, but what sealed the deal for me was how skill based your wins had to be back then to get around broken Vanilla Sagat and Ryu.
I remember watching Nuki pull off a dash forward ultra on stream for the first time and almost shitting my pants. Took dash ultra's to Xlan09 and Mike's "Did you see that! Focus attack Smoof's fireball dash forward into ultra!!!!" made everything all the more worthwhile lol.
I've liked akuma since I was 5 or 6 when it was either XvSF, A1 or A2. I just remember the raging demon being the coolest thing I'd ever seen and when I got a cat at the time I forced my parents to name it Akuma. Akuma now just sits next to me while I play super.
5 or 6
o_o
Haha Street Fighter 1 was still a few years away when I was 5 or 6 :o
I was 11 by the time SF1 came out, Akuma was years away.
i just play chun because i like dem legs :D
Bison, S.RH.
Rose, Claw, Viper.
Rose atm.
Claw since vanilla.
Viper coz she sexy.
^^
Trying to main Juri, she's the most fun to play for me, and when I win I feel I've earned it by being either technical or tricky.
Blanka is also netting me more wins at the mo, I love his annoying mixups and rediculous damage dealing.
but then I usually resort back to Ken, mostly because I'm so familiar with him that I feel I can adapt on the fly.
I'm not one of these players that can be competent with a character affter a few days.
I need months to get the moves/strategies ingrained in my knuckles.
Gouki and Sagat but they not cheap enough anymore. So i dun know who to use.

dont copy me bitch har har har
akuma coz I can do h.dp fadc h.dp fadc h.dp chip to death ftw.
I main Viper now coz many people said Ryu is retardly easy to use and Viper is the hardest character to use. And easy character to use seems to have higher winning chance.
I tried to explain that it doesn't work like that and tier list does matter at highest level but at our level it doesn't effect as much as we think and all I've got was a "NO NO".
So I've decided to use Viper to prove my words and secondary, to BBQ all the haters.
lol, whatever motivates you
pretty sure people would be more impressed by, I dunno... say... Hakan though
SF4 main: Blanka. Backups: Ryu, zangief, akuma
Thinking about picking up makoto though
BBQ all the haters
win.
Its like Fuerte. People are impressed because hes different, and they understand how much fucking work you need to put in to win.
BBQ THOSE HATERS.

lol yeah people don't know jack. Ryu and Boxer are supposedly brain dead easy characters to use yet how many boxers or Ryu's do you see at top level play. If you take Daigo out of the equation Viper probably had more success in vanilla than Ryu. Fundamental based characters may have a small learning curve but imo have the highest skillcaps in SF (Talking about Ryu and shotos more so than Rog).
That's pretty awesome Hue lol - I remember when SF4 first came out I wanted to main Viper because she looked so awesome, but I was so scrubby and hopeless, so I decided to use someone with a big health pool so I didn't get reamed so quickly haha
BBQ = awesome
Dictator.
But seriously considering switching to T.Hawk, mainly because he's a giant.
ken masters
secondarys : Ryu , Adon , Guile
played him in hyper fighting along with ryu and guile so play them in sf4 and ssf4
guess i stuck with him cos everyone thinks/ thort hes crap so no-one would have played him :'(
plus the flames ... oh yes the flames of DOOM !!!!!!!
M to da mah fucking Bison gee.
Seconds in this order: Boxer/Guile, Akuma, Ryu, Ken, Sim.

He's also pretty hard to get any practice in against cos nobody picks him. So heaps of cats dpn't know how to play against him - i've owned heaps of fools with my noob run back splash mix-ups.
edit: Bison was my main after Ryu in Vanilla and then Sagat, and i ended up just stcking with Sagat. I only like playing chars i can play when i'm drunk, cos i'm always drunk. Plus after playing Brodsta i saw what he could really be capable of. And i don't get much time to play these days so i'm just gonna stick with chars i know.

One of the coolest things about using Ken, is that most pepople assume you're gona be a flowchart scrub.
then you bust out the sickness with the quickness, and before they have time to take you seriously
They're on fire, in slow motion falling to the ground screaming "noooooo".
I kinda got stuck with Rose in vanilla. I started out maining Sim and Bison, but was finding Rose more fun. Kept catching people with shamwow and really liked her pokes. I released she was garbage in vanilla but kept at it since I liked the challenge of how it took twice as long to ko someone and you had to
make sure you never got hit.
Now she's good, but alot of her basics have carried over. It's weird people all saying stuff that is good now but is unchanged since vanilla. I just think scaling everyones damage back really helped.
Also like Honda, he feels like the opposite to rose to me :)
Sim, bison, cammy, deejay, Cody, Dudley.

Peace !!! ^_^
Before I had vanilla sf4 I always thought I would go with M. Bison. The game came out and I played him for a while but I got really hooked watching headbutt to ultra from Balrog.He was a very easy character to learn but like everything, hard to master and I had alright results with him. I went pretty far with him but I started to get into a turtle style that I wasn't really liking so I needed a change. This was closer to the middle/end of vanillas lifespan.
Before Birry Wong was a household name I had never seen anyone in NZ use El Fuerte. Watching TKD on youtube really interested me so I decided to pick him up as my main. It has taken me a long time and hours upon hours of training to get him to a standard where I feel he is now playable to a OK degree.
I will also say that his new ultra in ssf4 has made some difference for him and his match-ups but you still require all the things from vanilla (RSF, anti-air, mixup, patience etc) to be any good with him.
lol hue !!!!
;D
This topic just got the BIRRY WONG seal of approval.
Wow, I could write a wall of text in response to this topic which has recently been dredged up, but pragmatically there's really no point so I'll just leave people with their lofty opinions this time.
fuck u Hue HAHAHAHA bastard cao.
When I first started I was going to main Zangief since he's my main in ST. But I found him kinda boring and just not fun to play with ;D So I then began to learn Gouken, then went on to Rufus, and now currently maining Juri :)
Main: Juri, Rufus
Secondary: Gouken

I bet you pick roundhouse colour too don't you?! Barf.
In vanilla I mained Rog since i loved super turbo Rog and his rush down
changed to dhalsim after i got bored with rog and secondary was Fuerte
now i dont have a main was going to be vega
but im really comparing every character to guile now since i think hes easily top tier
Guile is the new Sagat/Ryu, I'm so sick of fighting him already.
Quote from: geneterror on July 02, 2010, 11:59:26 AM

That's another reason why I picked up Guile in super. Ever since its release, so many have jumped on the Guile bandwagon because of his buffs and of course Daigo. But most of the Guiles I had played really weren't that great. So I decided to pick him up and (try to) be one of the better Guiles.
Still a work in progress though...
p.s im talking about the online warrior guiles
I'll expand a bit more on my character choice.
For me I hadn't played a decent street fighter competitively for years, so I found my fundalmentals were pretty awful, and even now I have some really off games. I was having trouble enjoying vanilla street fighter IV and decided to not play it. This was due to me not liking the game much, not really having a character, and not being able to join in on last years nationals.
Afterwards, I found out about Arturo's "How to play Sim Podcasts" that he did with Gootecks. So I got a hold of those at the end of vanilla, and starting playing Sim. Ive always liked sim as a character, and after using those podcasts and stuff I started to enjoy the game again cause I actually learned about the game instead of mindlessly trying to play it like all the other street fighters.
And then Super came out which is like soooooooooooooooooooooo awesome! Seriously, I like this game sooo much.
i dont main a character.
characters main me

You guys are lucky to fight against Guiles. On Arcade request I still get the FLOWCHART KEN. So boring to fight.
Using Honda and Balrog. But rethinking it cause turtling is new to me.

LMFAO!!!! BRO! That's exactly what i said around here somewhere. I will never main a female character or VEGA! LOL! Brothers mane.
I won't even play games where your a chick. Is that wrong?
Compensating? lol
I don't play games where you are forced into a chauvinistic male role. I also moisturise OFTEN
Wow you guys take games pretty seriously.
I like old men. So I main gen. Actually the real reason is I main him is because not many people play him, so I find it fun when someone doesn't know his matchup. I like his crossups and the fact that he has two ultras :P
Other characters I play are ryu, ken, akuma, cody, guy, chun li. I've watched a lot of gen fights, and every single one plays different which is interesting. I really wish I could do MK -> hands combo but I use an xbox controller :( There is probably a button config that makes it easy but not that I've found..
I started playing street fighter late last year (vanilla). I had never played any street fighter games before hand, or any other fighting games for that matter (except def jam FFNY lol). I played tekken 6 for the first time 2 nights ago and I have to say, I hated it.
AKUMA: Hes just the total up grade from RYU & KEN.... An wen used right, straight DEMON man!....
Good post........ MESSOOSSE!!!!
GUILE...
Tryna learn Abel, Cody, Gen, Seth...

how do you look at that? Or are you just talking about BP? Which is pretty damn good mane. Especially with all that lag.
Weazzy isnt wrong there. I dont get how people can be fucked ploughing through that many scrubs.
Ryu & Ken.
More Ryu, cause I've always liked the idea of playing the 'main guy' or the 'hero' when I was a kid and saw Steet Fighter 2: World Warrior.
Over the years of the different SF games, started moving more towards Ken, because I'm scrub and like to flow chart.
But now that I'm actually trying to get good, I'm back to Ryu. Mainly because I'm better at QCF's and shoryu's than charging stuff. And I like fireballs and shoryu's. Ryu because I like the easy setups into supers/ultra. I like twitch executions rather than charge (if that makes sense). I like flashy combo's, and while Ken is meant to be flashier in terms of story and his character, I just love seeing a combo string finished off by a super hugemungus fireball.
So yeah, a combination of the above makes Ryu my choice.

well you know in ranked you choose who you play, and for me personally i only play those who are good, it's the only way to bump up the BP and PP up a fair amount. playing scrubs is a waste of time as you get jack all both BP's and tyrna improve yourself.
oh and playing online for a bit, you kind of get the idea of who's good and who's not......well for me that is :)
