No shit, Capcom has announced the development of Street Fighter 4 for release sometime next year. I'm actually really surprised they are doing this, and to be honest not entirely looking forward to it (unless they are farming the design out to ArcSys or something - all of Capcom's developers that worked on the good Street Fighters left for either SNK or Sammy).
Take a look at http://www.streetfighterworld.com/ for more info.

Yea i saw it it www.combovideos.com i was thinking to post too....
Good JOB i like it . style of Okami ::) ::) ;D ;D
A lot of the opinions expressed in the capcomunity forums are so out of date in thinking that it's funny... it's like people who have been in caves for 10 years are coming out and laying the law down on how a fighting game should be made today - "IT HAS TO BE 2D!!!" I'm one of the most anti-3d people around and I even recognise that going solely 2d is probably a bad idea...
--flux
yea i hope that it also 2d aswell i dont want them to go 3d.....
if this game takes off there are gona be alot of people stepping outta caves to play this one.
i have high hopes for this
beta be 2 d's man... >:(
This time ken and ryu MASTER beta BE there 2 be use as new character or hidden i dont care...lol :P
I'm going to be super annoyed if parrying is in.
--flux
2d or 3d is all good with me. But of course 2d is the more desired option...
hopefully the return of Volcano Rosso!!! ;D hes my fave of all the SFs

Not sure whether the 2d decision is going to be a good one in the end (will the average punter even bother, when on the other side you can play a huge fat guy that moves like a ninja?)
Thoughts?
--flux
I think the 2d/3d decision is pretty good (3d models on a 2d game).
I doubt it being a 2d game will hinder its success or failure. Check our local arecade and you will see that xmen vs street fighter get more plays than tekken (as far as I know).

It looks like a graphically updated SFII, I don't want to play SFII AGAIN.
*waits patiently for KoFXII*
SSF2THD is the only game I'm looking forward to atm.
Legs of huge...
--flux
Honestly, I'm kinda disappointed with this decision.
As much as I love 2D fighters and hate 3D ones, I was honestly hoping that Capcom would be able to make a completely new, innovative 3D game. Redefine the genre, the same way they did 15 years ago with SF2.
All in all, its probably for the best that they went the route that they did. The people who truly enjoy fighting games will play it if it plays well, and won't if it doesn't - regardless of how pretty or ugly the game looks. And the pretty graphics will hopefully pull a whole lot of kiddies away from the FPSes and racing car games into the fighting games. Sure, probably only 2% will actually stick to it and become dedicated fighters, but its better than nothing.
I wouldn't say it just looks like a graphically updated SF2. With a couple of screenshots like these, SF3 would also just look like an updated SF2, and god knows how different those games are.
Until we know a bit about the game mechanics (which will hopefully be revealed in the next EGM issue!), we can't really say whether it will be an updated SF2, or something completely new, with brand new mechanics, which it hopefully will be (so long as the test it extensively like they're doing with STHD, so we don't have another Parry crisis).
And when I saw that "legs of huge" comment I thought I would see Chun-Li in the new screenshots. Anyway, I'm guessing the legs are just the wind the loose pants, and that in motion they won't look so huge.
I must say though. That hadouken looks fucking amazing.
I'm a little worried about how the camera will be handled, actually... I'm hoping that those screenshots aren't actually THE GAME but just a graphical presentation - because if the camera is going to move around like that, it's going to be a hell of a mess to follow...
And yeah, the bulkiness is probably just wind, just looks kind of funny. I don't know what to expect from Chun Li! :)
--flux
chun li will be awesome.
OMG IN SF4 Honda is Skinny!
i have seen some screen shots of street fighter 4, its going to be a 3D Fighting game, ive seen the shots in www.fightersgeneration.com
ummm hope it arnt gonna be worst than street fighter EX.. EX was a terrible 3D street fighter
3d looks, 2d gameplay.
Ex2 wasn't too bad, either... maybe not for a serious game, but it was fun.
--flux
Few interesting notes at http://www.dfpradio.com/?p=1692
Namely,
* The producer is Yoshinori Ono, who worked on Street Fighter Alpha, Street Fighter III and Capcom Fighting Revolution
* The game will have online modes
* The game will use toon-shaded graphics like in Street Fighter II
* The gameplay will be in 2D while graphics are in 3D, but the camera angle is fixed
* Capcom wants to bring as many characters back from Street Fighter II series as possible (confirmed: Ryu, Ken, Chun-Li and Dhalsim.)
* The story takes place between Street Fighter II Turbo and Street Fighter III
* The battle system will be more aggressive and focus more on attacking instead of defending
* A decision has not been made which platform the game will be on, the test version was built on a PC platform
* Capcom is interested to bring the game to as many platforms as possible, no platform exclusivity
* Standard 6-button control scheme will remain
--flux
3d gameplay! oh yeah!! oh baby yes! lol
TWO D!!! 2D! Game play has only TWO DIMENSIONS! Like SF should be!

zangief is a fucking bear.
That's actually looking pretty awesome.
Zangief looks ridiculous in the char art, but looks pretty old school in the game pics.
Also: GUILE! YES!!!
Hope they release an artbook for this game, really dig the style.

Hell ya Zang is my favourite character lol... ;) ;) ;)
Artbook....end up buying as well...i wasted money on previous edition as well (All capcom Character and Street Fighter series) n is not cheap .
im gonna learn me some chunners. after i fail with guile though.
new character abel is retarded.

I wonder if they've made a conscious effort to make all bare-footed characters have feet that are wider than their heads. And people with boots have smaller feet.
Didn't look at packages soz :D

The vid is pretty cool, looks like the EX series but I doubt any EX characters would show up :'( :'( i miss Garuda and co.
Guile looks awesome, he did Charlies flash kick in that Super of his which is cool. His d+rh if its still a double sweep hopefully they've done what the EX/Vs series did and made it cancellabe (if it was in SF2 then my bad and sorry for noobness lol)
His voice is okay at least it aint the ghey as voice from sf2:super...
My fave Vega aint out yet (hopefully he does come), I can understand why not I mean theres already half or more the SF2 cast there. They shouldnt make it too old school keep the new characters coming id say....
Abel reminds me of Joe from the oriiginal SF :D
@Fluxcore: yea their feet are huge and I know big feet lol. Heck even Zangief's lil booties dont match shotokans big as feet lol

Well, they said all chars from Street Fighter 2 Turbo on the SNES, so that would include Vega. He was shit in that, but that's not really an issue... :D And nah, Guile can't cancel the sweep in SF2.

cheers bro
at first I thought abel was gonna be a copy of Blair/Sharon from the EX series. Since they both had a wheel kick and i kinda guessed Abel would have some catch throws (or wateva there called attacks that shift to grappling arts) like blair/sharon. But now id say hes a lot like Goro Daimon from KO, just not as manly as Daimon lol.
crimson is pretty cool. Shes got some nice features to her moves. Low crush move, an advancing move that goes under proj. (hadoken height), and an annoying jump. Also her moveset looks pretty funky id prolly pick her and blanka when i start playing this.

SF IV will support...
IC CARDS!
http://www.the-magicbox.com/0807/game080701a2.shtml
info taken from the magicbox...
Capcom revealed that the arcade version of Street Fighter IV will support IC cards, you can register your nicknames, save battle points and purchase costumes and accessories with the card. You can use battle points to redeem mobile phone wallpaper and ringtones (wut?), as well as buying different costumes, accessories for your characters (dress them up like VF5 and T6, yay...). Street Fighter IV will launch in arcade on July 18.

fuckwits picking dan, seriously, wtf? Riggggged...
Should be Sakura.
id rather have rainbow mika.
I WANT T.HAWK!!! >:( >:( >:(
i played sf4 for about an hour yesterday. its pretty fun.
minor complaints being that the stages are actually quite large, and with the characters pathetic forward dash, its kinda hard to cross the screen quickly if you wanna rush.
and it takes forever to build super meter. you build ultra meter a hell of a lot faster than effing super meter. and you only get one bar. full super meter grants you the opportunity for 5 EX moves, but i don't want EX shoryu, i want bloody EX side kick.
ultras are a bit iffy. you have the opportunity to whip out more than one a round if you're getting wailed on, but the few ive seen are kinda useless. ryu's especially. c.viper has a small delay between the start up hit and follow up, so if you're awesome you can hurricane kick through it to safety, like me :D
and its on a standard machine thingy at yifans, no flashy hi-def widescreen cab like t6, but i heard the dudes yesterday talking about possibly getting something or other when they were setting it up yesterday.
and $2 a game is queer.
lol $2 a game
Anyone try rufus, the fatman with a faster-than-magneto drill kick?

Reserve for me to test drive lol ;D ;D ;D
there are already a bunch of 'cheap' people, like one guy who just spammed fireballs with ken, and the usual guile turtles.
and its actually 4 EX moves off a full meter.
zangief is bullshit, he can do a jump in splash, cr. jab into fucking spd which connects, even if you blocked the first two attacks.
and ryu can connect his ultra off an ex fireball, but only if it hits them in midair.
and im now using chun li. them legs iz secksy.
AND THROWS ARE AWESOME.
LOL!
The Guile turtle is XBAWKs Hat Guy from GGXX#R
He has the same playstyle no matter what he plays

Finally along wait game been waiting for....Rufus...too chubby..still new to me to play...learn some movement to upclose set up normal throw. His Super look very cool (tai chi Powa i guess)....
EX fireball special can suck u in to connect full combo.
I went back to play 12am . I finish Zangift so fast . I used Zangift for the 1st time in this game can beat boss easily. I guess his priority throw very good and big dammage . Either u cancel with EX. The special move uppercut punch ( 4got wot it call (>.<) can cancel to special normal throw or Super) :o :o :o So good i did it so many time...
omg look at zangief.

Abel is cool. too bad im the only one that seems to use him and im useless. Like zangief he can jo J.mk into c.lk into grab, which connects even if you block the first 2 hits. but i tend to eat anti airs, and use his roll WAAAAY too much.

I never knew this board existed. Anyway, hope SF4 can encourage people to try n keep the SF fighting scene at Yifans alive.
A lot of people still just watching at this stage not putting their hard earned $$ in. Beginner mode is good for those not so cocky though and acts as a training mode for others just wanting to practice combos.

sagat scrubs suck.
TIGER TIGER TIGER LAAAAAAAAAAME
After being an abel scrub i intend to be a sagat scrub. followed by a fuerte scrub.
TIGER SHOT
If you analyse sagat's sound bytes, particularly "tiger shot" youll find hes actually saying "David sucks" Interesting. Wonder why they put that in the game. Must be because david sucks.
TIGER SHOT
Sagat is cool for being an ass with. My only other alternative is mashing KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK with Chun Li.
XBAWKs hat guy playing SF4 quite a bit later in the night. Kinda owned his Zangeif with Sagat after he gave me seconds, but I gave him the match since I was planning on leaving.
Then my friend beat him a good number of times with Guile in Guile VS Ryu matches.
What kinda annoyed me was XBAWKs hat guy choosing Sagat after I cheesed him with Sagat... He must've eaten Tiger Uppercut 10000000 times during my LP, LP, LP, TIGER UPPERCUT lamefest... Tiger knee > Tiger shot... seriously...

:D lol
Abels combo is too difficult. I choose to take up sagat or c.viper, despite her being low tier.
No u wrong Rufus is harder :-[ :-[ :-[
Rufus is the most newbie-friendly character besides ryu/ken/sagat according to EVERY website ive read.
I like the way rufus plays, i just hate the way he looks. C.Viper is supposedly the most difficult character to use. I would like to keep playing abel, but too many people at yifans play him now, and his lack of anti air is painful for someone like me who is perpetually useless.
Rufus is top tier, along with gief and bison apparently. Sagat/blanka shortly after, with abel in 3rd. Fuerte is at the bottom, with C.viper a little bit higher, and everyone else in the middle somewhere at the moment.
I think i will take up viper. The difficulty factor never stopped me learning anakaris in mvc2.
Sagat is a noob character? No wonder I wasn't getting my ass kicked as badly as I thought I would when I first started playing. But it's not my fault that they didn't include DeeJay... :)

Akuma is now out at yifans.
Akuma Same Tighter shorter pan than Ryu......they getting poor...nothing to eat just sleep on da street waiting 4 prossss....... ;D ;D ;D
By da time they is final supa saiyan stage i don't they wear anything lol
at least akuma has jandals.
Akuma is bloody annoying...
Bloody scrawny asian uni kid at Yifans being a waiter with Ryu. I couldn't do anything except wait and cancel runs with EL Taco to bait him into a shoryuken whiff. It's a shame you can't run with f,f like in Guilty Gear, otherwise bating him would've been easier...
Giving him seconds was the biggest mistake as he killed me in all the other rounds. I guess I can't expect all the new kids to know the seconds rule ;D
And Steve's Balrog is nuts. I get totally owned by him... The round doesn't even last 10 seconds... ::)
was he the guy with the glasses and white and blue jacket? cause he beat my ass too, with his super safe turtle queen ryu. chun li can't bloody rush.
and the prick doesn't even give round :(
you guys need to toughen up and stop giving seconds.
scrubs.

TRUTH
samurai black : yeah, I think it's the same guy. lol... I'm not sure what he is afraid of... Even when he left yifans, he took the long way around instead of passing by me... ;D
I felt sorry for him when I beat him the first 2 rounds, so I gav him 2nd's. It's a bad habit :)

Rufus is top tier, along with gief and bison apparently. Sagat/blanka shortly after, with abel in 3rd. Fuerte is at the bottom, with C.viper a little bit higher, and everyone else in the middle somewhere at the moment.
In my opinion, there are 4 ranks in SF4.
S rank : Rufus, Abel, Zangrief, Sagat, Blanka
A Rank : Ryu, Ken, C.Viper, Guile, Vega, Balrorg
B Rank : Akuma, El, E.Honda, M.Bison
C rank : Chun-li, Dhaslim.
Higher rank only mean those characters are better in some moves and they have more advantages compare to the others due to the game system.
However, Lower tier doesn't mean worse. It's all about playing styles and tactics & skills. some players cannot use S rank characters coz of their playing style so they will end up being better with A Rank character compare to S rank. And if their skills are good, they can easily beat those players whose use S rank characters.
So who cares about top tier or bottom tier. If you are good with a character and like that character, go for it.
***Side story*** :D
When i was playing Melty Blood, My Arcuied (B or C rank only) could beat all players whose used S rank characters (there was a japanese cunt called "Nao", appearently he was the best in Guilty Gear & top player in tekken. But i dun like his attitutes coz he thinks he's superior or the best or God or whatever....and he mocked other players when he won, acting like a dickhead. I've never liked GG or tekken so i didnt care about him. But when it comes to Melty Blood, he was trying to be cool and i taught him "a few" lessons. The last time i saw him in Yifans was the day i beat him 18 wins in a row in Melty Blood. He was raging, shaking the machine and crying like a baby. I couldn't bare playing with those kinds of people so i beat him a few more times and.... we (me & Tony) left the machine after he put his coin in :D to piss him off even more :D, after that day, he disappeared for over 9 months now, probably he got a job or left NZ).
thats true to an extant...
.....and funny story haha
that story is hilarious.

I was just kidding :D And you should say that to the "Nao" guy or a white guy with no hair who always show his lovely middle finger to Simon's Makoto and my Ryu.
LOL, memories of Melty Blood and Guilty Gear... :)
The thing that annoyed me about Melty Blood and Guilty Gear was all the people that ran away... In Melty Blood, it was hard since the only fast character I used was Warakia. In #RELOAD, it was EZ since Millia was considered top tier or something... Can't believe XBAWKs hat guy still plays #RELOAD (that w@nker,seriously)... :D
I'm not one who believes in tiers, but rather, the players abilities and what they can do with each character.
Back to SF4...
SH!T, I GOT OWNED USING EL TACO AT NOON AND IN THE EVENING. The only difference was that at noon I killed the guy with my uber noob Sagat shortly after... ;D p.s. Balrog and Vega are GHEY!!!
el taco FP 'infinite'? Anyone tried it?
I only managed 2 hits at best...
Trying to get the first hit is the hard part... :)

Tho I guess this new dude Alan will keep him stuck to MVC2 for a while lol ;D
not much ppl play SS6/SamuraiSpiritsTK these days and I'm out of it too,
it's a f_cking boring waiter f_ck game..
Actually he did join this community it was on my thread...wonder where he was now...Maybe DIABLO GTR know where is him or Ryan cuz u still have his arcade stick aiii....
Oh well is a long story..... :o :o :o :o
well i think that streetfighter 4 is ok but its graphics are great so it must be coming out on ps3
I only just started messing around with mp+mk dash cancels into other moves... lol... :)
I'm noob... :)
And I can't get El Taco's infinite to hit more than twice... >:(
I cant afford to play this lol :'(
Anyone still keep in contact with kingpicc?? king of sf2

Man i've been playing this game whenever I can and man I must say I havn't had this much fun since the days of playing mvc2 till early hours of the morning. Though got a question for everybody, is it only me that can't get use to pulling off UC. I have a hard time remembering to press all THREE buttons to execute.
or I must just suck nasty balls....
yeah, it takes a little bit of getting used to pressing all three. it sucks when you have a perfect opportunity for some ultra goodness and you get an EX move instead :(

Some really good information on SF4 on Gootecks' podcast, especially episodes 7 & 8 - check it out here... http://gootecks.com/
from ep 7: Justin Wong's tier list:
#1 Sagat
#2 Zangief
#3 Bison
#4 Rufus
#5 Ryu
Basically Sagat is ownage, but Zangief would be *absolute* ownage if it wasn't for Sagat.
I think I'd play Bison :)

This game is going to be insane on console. Seeing Cammy/Rose screenshots, they look amazing. I think this might be my new favourite Street Fighter game.

Zangief is an exceptionally good character in SF4, ridiculously good combos for a grappler, and mad mixups into SPD.
Not sure who counters him... Sagat?

Sagat counters everyone except Sagat. ::)
Dhalsim has a good (or at least fair) matchup against him.

Gilley (creator of above video) said his tactic for 'reversalling' against ultra moves is just to spam db, d, df, d, db, d, df and mash on punches, and it pretty much automatically reversal DPs for you.

Yup. So far the only competition I've seen in Hamilton has come in the form of Sagat players that constantly uppercut.
Unfortunately I'm not proficient at punishment combos in this game yet...
OMG! Hamilton is moving up in the world now! What do they charge, $20 a game? :P :P :P

Just $2, and they moved the pinball game so you can easily walk around the cab now. Should still be side by side though.
Get used to it. :P
SFIV is kind of interesting in that you HAVE to have 2 separate machines for vs mode. That'd be a hell of a lot of wallspace for one game...
What?!
Hamilton has it and Wellington is STILL being shafted?
Screw you, coin cascade!
Auckland's Timezone machine went over to Hamilton's Timezone. And yes, Hamilton does charge a bit more than Auckland...
I've been to Hamilton heaps of times and I still can't find the Timezone... >:(

Wow, that's pretty crazy!
As for hamilton time zone being hard to find... it's right on the main street :( Maybe i'll make a map... or maybe not. It's not exactly a yifan's, you understand...
Coincascade reckoned that it would make more money in Ham than Auck. All of Auck's SF4 players play at Yifans on superior machinery, half price Thursdays and double dollars isn't enough to make them change over.
Timezone in Manner's Mall Wellington was alright. How bad could Hamilton's one be? :)

And probably soon to be a write off machine when SFIV comes out on teh consolesss.
They still got mvc2 there?
Wellington has around 15-20 SF3 players that are keen to put bucketloads of money into SFIV, also some non-SF3 players that have been waiting for it too
Well I have no doubt it would make more sense having SFIV down in Wellington! Apparently TZ don't see it though...
I should suggest it to TZ just to get you guys off from playing that horrible 3s game :P
Stu: Yeah we still have mvc2, I tried it yesterday and p1 assist 1 was broken :/
I'm so sick of 3s, the only reason I play at all now is to use up my free games as the only Elena player, gotta represent my brown-skinned beauty!
I never liked the gameplay in SFII, how much is improved in SFIV? I'm pretty much only going to play it for C.Viper and maybe Cammy... But if it's pretty much identical to SFII, I probably won't even bother.
It is pretty similar to Super Turbo really. Jumping is a bit floatier, and obviously the focus attack changes things, but otherwise pretty much the same. Combos tend to be a lot more timed links rather than just cancels, so that's a bit different... but I imagine you won't like it too much.
Fark... clearly the other guy had no answers, presumably you could do some attacks to hit him out of focus, but that's some impressive pressure right there.

Street Fighter IV DLC Details and Exclusive Screens
http://www.capcom-unity.com/s-kill/blog/2009/02/05/street_fighter_iv_dlc_details_and_exclusive_screens
I've ordered the Collectors Edition, still no world on what the "exclusive" DLC is for that?
Nope. Capcom are going to say something at the launch party (which I think is this week).
Better not just be a free download of one of the costume packs, that would be pretty shitty.
Yeah that's what I'm worried about after seeing these lists :(
Quote from: geneterror on February 09, 2009, 03:32:10 PM
Yeah that's what I'm worried about after seeing these lists :(
Actually, saw a post on Capcom-unity from Seth Killian which said something to the effect of 'the CE dlc will be available to everyone', aka NOT EXCLUSIVE, aka is probably something to do with the costume packs - it had better be all packs rather than just one free pack, that would be pretty irritating.
Really hype to get SFIV on console.
Played it once when it had a brief tour in Christchurch and was thoroughly impressed.
Hah, the rival characters talk to each other during the match :)
Presumably this is only during the vs cpu mode (on the rival stage)... I hope they've got the Japanese voices talking as well (VERY unlikely that I'll be using the english dubs!)
http://streetfighterblog.blogspot.com/2009/02/rival-sfiv-characters-talk-to-each.html
so i hear you'll actually have to PAY to use the alt costumes in this game.

Well I'm gonna try and cancel my Collectors Edition and get the normal version instead. If it's not even exclusive anymore it's just something I can grab off the PSN store when it comes out for a few bucks if I want it. Def not woth an extra $60 to me now as I already own a better Ryu figure than the one they are offering and I'm sure someone will rip the Blu-ray and post it on the web so I can get that anyway.
Disappointed, still psyched for the game though!
i wanted the blue-ray and the collectors crap~ huge street fighter fan =)
ive ordered 2 madcatz tournament sticks =) yay!!
Right on, brother :)
I'm going cheap! :-\
Can only afford the SE game AND a SE arcade sticks atm. Hopefully be able to buy another stick later on for local games.
Also just some random SFIV awesomeness,

My xbox got the RROD yesterday. :(
My xbox power brick exploded, i've been too lazy/poor to call tech support for repair, so i'll get the PS3 version in the meantime
Add me for some PSN games then ;D
Well, our stock of SFIV arrived instore today. I must say that the $200 collectors edition looks pretty cheap and nasty. Was quite gutted to be honest. Not that it will stop me buying it, but I cant help but feel that Capcom are making me their bitch...
I've read much the same on SRK... figures are pretty crappy, booklet is pathetic, anime isn't that great.
Oh well, yeah I'm totally Street Fighter's bitch, I accept the rapage.

For $200 they are! Wait until you dress up your SFIV with all the beautiful DLC $$$ content money can buy :P
Additionally, since my abel is crap, im thinking about taking up boxer. How steep is the learning curve on him for someone who you cna basically consider a beginner?

To get him solid it doesn't take much but he does have some execution intensive stuff(for street fighter at least) like ex armour kara cancels, focus attack dash ultras, and some difficult links and combos. He's definitely got stuff to keep you interested once you have the basics down.
Actually, I'm not so unhappy with the CE set - figures are ok, booklet is very small (but the combos-as-comics are cool!)... only thing I don't like is the disc case cover art :/

Erm, I found him pretty easy, but that's because I played Super Turbo boxer. For a complete newbie... he's reasonably different to the rest of the cast. Charge character with no projectiles, but good pressure game and some good invincible moves (headbutt, tap, ex dash).
Try him out, watch some vids, try out some stuff you saw in vids, watch more vids... he's worth getting the hang of :)

GG's Tonight to Stereo and Pax Bisonica
Was fun... SF 4 Roxors!!!
See you guys online tomorrow night
aww i want to play online...
lucky ppl with ps3/xbox :(
here is a pic.
box set includes SF4 character moves guide + SF4 USB (not sure of size)
and the chun li figurine.
[attachment deleted by admin]
I'll give you a hundy for the chun/usb/book thing, assuming it's the 9" tall statue (with the x of 700 on the bottom)
omg stupid xbox wont connect to live now... when I test the connection says something wrong with MTU settings... but the settings are all the same as they were last friggin night... Im sad... I wanna play SF4
ya GG bangbang! As for your MTU issues have you tried a simple reset? Just power off modem for 10 sec or so then power on and try again.
For those (like my self) who are having trouble with the trail challengers are these videos for all the characters.

GGs again last night stereo... your Abel is getting Beastly dude I reckon you should main him
Sorry for the double post... But I'm a forum noob (check out my awesome profile pic that I spent an hour at work trying to work out lol)
Anyone having trouble getting any matches online? Other than Stereo and Pax I have only played one other person where it hasn't been a laggy shitfest. Needa get more friends on my friends list dammit!! You hear that people add me!!!
Speaking of which where are you guys at Gino and Flux!!! I needs to play dammit!!!
God dammit im so god damn addicted to this damn game... Ive only been at work for like two hours and all i can do islook up strats and watch Youtube vids of street fighter 4 on my iphone. Im so damn addicted. Im gonna go home early today and play it. Should be on round lunch time if any of you guys are on.
In other news... I am definitely thinking of maining Dhalsim and Gouken and saving Gen as my "other" character. Unless someone figures something out or they patch him and give him back his chain combos, he is pretty pootang atm. He is fine when he has bar, but other than that there is little you can do come time to "punish" the opponent imo.
Gouken on the other hand I am learning is a goddamn beast. Almost half life combos with only one EX move in them. Throw into Ultra. With Half bar and Ultra you can juggle them into his ultra combo doing all up 3/4 life on most characters.
Dhalsim seems good with his TK Teleport and ultra shenanigans. Plays very different from past Dhalsims imo.
Jumped in HD remix last night and joined an aussie room where I was playing sme 'obviously' dunk guy who was that wasted he couldnt decide whether to hate me for beating him and call me a faggot, then the next minute he is in awe of my skillzors telling me how awesome I am..... weird.

Anybody who wants to challenge me online is welcome. my PSN username: hydro_jm
There's also other yifans regulars such as Ben, username: toomekke and Simon, username: crazymobius
We've been fighting online with 3-5 bars sometimes, It's awesome. Most of the aussie players have two to four bars, with three as a standard for the connection.
Just let me know when and where. ;)
I have a migraine so can't reply in any detail, but FUCK YEAH this game is absorbing my life.
I'm having trouble finding people with more than 1 bar as well... even making a lobby myself results in no bar tards joining and me having to kick them.
Frustrating because the very first time I played online a 3 bar guy jumped on almost instantly and had awesome games so I expected it to be like that all the time...

Yeah I remember those guys from when I used to play down at yiffans.
Im the big Maori guy that used to play down there. I used to hang out with Ioane loads.
Ive been adding the NZISM site to every online profile I have trying to whore it out and get more comp.
Any of those guys above XBOX or are they all PS3?
Check out david sirlin's thoughts on sfiv
http://www.sirlin.net/blog/2009/2/22/a-few-things-about-street-fighter-4.html
Hard to disagree really... it IS fun, but fuck if it doesn't have some insanely difficult combos and annoying mechanics...
Hey all,
Anyone no where to get a madcatz or hori stick?? Desperatley need one lol
Hmm... Interesting.
I dunno If I agree with him on all of that.
2 button throws imo are there to soften them and not make them as powerful. You dont get an option select that way.
I also think that when reviewers comment how easy it is. THey are generally commenting on how easy it is in comparison to other recent 2D fighters. (eg: SF3, MVC2, CVS2) Which imo it is.
I guess its hard for me to see cause Ive been playin SF for so long now that all these things have become second nature to me.
Fostah:
Go to the play asia website and get one shipped. The last one I bought from there I got within 3 days. Ask them specifically to ship it via DHL Express and get a track number then you can pick it up from the depot in Manukau. Will get it to you much faster. It'll sting you bout 200 bucks but its worth it.
Other option is to make your own. I am making one atm, just tryna source some nice parts.

Im there. But i only managed to play Blazblue this morning. I fear all the good peeps at SF4 too much. That and i have a love affair with $2 coins. I just cant bear to throw them away like that :P
Ill be back there in like 2 hours though.
Im online now!!!! Someone come play me!
hahahaha... teh $2 fear... I have that too but i spend like 10 dollars playing Kevin's Sagat (Tall Chinese guy with glasses).. god he is good...
COme down at 12:30 pm weekdays and have a few games, if you never play any better players you won't learn.
Goddammit... I'm getting a PS3!!! *@^$*@%$@#)!@#
It annoys me no end that ps3 can't play 360, or indeed that I got 360 and not ps3... so many people I want to play only have a ps3!
I feel your pain.. but i'm in more pain as i don't even have the xbox!! but i go the GAME!!!! sitting there at night starring at the game but no console to play.. now thats SAD :(

Get online bro I'm keen as for sum games
I take back what i said about being afraid of good people. Theyre fun to play, even to lose against. At least i larn from it.
I HATE the 10000 people that play scrubby as fuck kens. Theyre hard to read because they mash. When they dont mash they turtle. To top it all off, somehow I lose to them constantly. This shit is why i stopped playing months ago. Mass frustration.

You need that PS3 bro so we can rock some online challenges. I'm going to try and arrange a tourney with simon's help soon for yifans, so keep an eye. I'll send you my ph# if you ever wanna meet up challenge. SWEET!
Damn. I got fat ps3. But I don't have a stick for it unfortunately. Fuck yeah I'm liking gen ATM. I find he plays a bit runaway in this game. For real dude hit me up. I'll pm you my digits. I'll try and organize a gathering for the Auckland peeps in the next month or so I think. I got heaps of space at my pad.
who knows of a good stick? mad catz ? or the Hori?
I'm planning to get a Ps3 because I want to play u Fa*g*ts :D
Hue, you using control pad? or you got a stick? i come to your house and play hehe :P
The mad catz SF4 TE stick is awesome. The Hori is also a solid option. (For considerably less cashhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.)

It's an option at the top of the friends list.
Anyone got any advice for the SJC on Viper's 3rd hard trial?
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.
ill go for one, and buy an hori stick =)

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
working hard to get those things heh
yea come ova, play on my 42" Full 1080p LCD hehe

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.
lalala bump**
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?
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.

Hey Munta, I'll add you to my list tonight. Simon (crazymobius) and I play four bars and it's 99% arcade (Apart from a few 1-2 frame links missing from dhalsim combos lol). Should be four if you're in NZ and not in the whaps.
I'll be on tonight from 10pm. so hook it up.

Leo, no dragon moves break armor, but all 'Reversal' moves do. For example, you can saving/focus a standard Ryu shoryuken, but a wake-up or reversal one will break your armor.
Same with all reversal moves, an especially good one is dictators ex.headpress on wake-up.
;)
I've had a 4 bar with my friend in the same town, and a 4 bar with geneterror while playing at said friends house
Yeah I get 4 bars with most NZ players.
Ah I see... thanks for that.
Soooo... any xboxers online?

My pleasure, Marc - was a great evening :) The match vids are on youtube btw, check the match vids forum for the thread :)
My cabinet has Seimitsu sticks in it with a square gate. Yeah, I really like them - just need to sort out that bar stool situation (and the other xbox pad to hack...)
We didn't kick your ass badly at all, was reasonably even I thought. Good to have someone that plays different chars too (Sim, Abel, Gen). Definitely want to play again some time :)
As for the bar situation, I've gotten 4-bar connections to Stu over in aus that were hampered by our partners surfing the web :/ I don't think anyone gets 5-bars though.
Cheers once again! :)

I've finally figured out why our internet was laggy. Fricken girlfriend has downloaded over 60GIG of fricken tv soaps, so tomorrow it'll be back to normal, the cap goes back to normal so watch out you kiwis :P
lol i have had my profile edited at gpforums because of all the NZISM stuff i had in it.
GG's last night... man i was noobing out hard.
Twas embarrassing :(
Yo, just posted up an online matchmaking thread in the matchmaking sub forum.
I'll update each day with times I'm available on PS3 for a challenge, y'all should do the same! :)
It's good that this game is so popular but they need to make a lobby system so we can have multiple people match up in the same lobby, or even have rooms/guilds ie an NZism room that we can all just lurk in and play each other. Someone tell me if I've missed something and we can do this already.
Every time I turn the game on at the moment I get about 5 invites in the first few mins and I have to try and msg 4 or more people saying I'm already in a lobby or at worst just ignore 4 invites.
Who would have thought I would ever be complaining about having to0 many people to play online :o
I'll be on Sunday morning and then again Sunday arvo for games ;D
Next week I'll have more time to play once or my current design jobs are over.
Simon I will get to play you soon hahaha but I have your number so I can txt you if I know I'm going to be online.
Is anyone else enabling the auto match find while in arcade mode thing?
I've been doing it the last couple days, and TBH, most of the matches, even though they say 1 bar, are playable, and quite a few of them are actually good lag wise.
There is of course some totally unplayable games, but meh. Goes with the territory living in NZ I guess.
Just wondering if anyone else has had much luck with it.
And I have to agree with geneterror, an NZism room would be the shit!\
I'm not quite sure what the championship mode entails, but it is suppose to have some kind of tournament thing, so we could atleast have NZism PSN tourneys.
On live we should open up a party and add us all to it. That'd mean we can all at least talk to each other and swap opponents.
The tournament pack thing they are making is confirmed to NOT have any lobby/quarter match type stuff, unfortunately. It might come later though.
i should be able to play in april sometime, username on PSN is Orochi_Leona

edit: bleh iRONsol using AD's pc, so thats my gamertag not AD's lol
Seeing as all of us PSN users get pretty good connections with each other, we should organise some kind of round robin competition. I'd suggest small 6 man tournaments or something, but without being able to sit in a party etc on our PS3s it would be a little hard too coordinate. We could use the forums here, or an IRC channel or something.
There could obviously be a simultaneous 360 competition, but with your party thing it could be a lot easier to setup.

I heard they got a patch coming out in March with tournament mode or something, so that might rectify the annoying one on one lobby thing. Mind you I dunno how the NZ PSNetwork works with add ons cos the States already have the alt costumes released for Graplers but we got zip.
It seems (at least for me) I can't challenge online friends without texting first to arrange it. :/
You can access the Grapplers Pack if you bought the Collectors Edition.
It's on the PSN here, you just can't find it for some dumb ass reason

I'd be down for that. Hopefully the grapplers pack will be released this week with the next store update. Logic tells me I should wiat for all the pack to be released and by em together. My fanboy urges won't allow me to wait though ;D
Good games the other night BTW.
GG to Alan and Gino. Weird how I could connect that Gouken throw>uc on you basically everytime Gino but never on Alan ???
Going to pratice with Gouken and Gen now. Thats right Leo! Gonna learn some of those combos you always throw at me :P
GG to toomekke last night, sorry I had to bail in a hurry. Seems like I have a bit of catching up to do on this game.
Can anyone tell me for sure how to unlock Akuma and Gouku I've read a few different things online and a couple I have tried didn't seem to work :(

Lol to unlock Gouku you might wanna play Dragonball Z?
To get akuma put it to one round on easiest and get 2 perfects and 2 ultra finishes before you beat seth.
For Gouken, do 3 perfects and 3 Ultra finishes before you beat seth. You might have to clock it with akuma first too i think.

I feel your pain Graeme, I couldn't get Akuma the first time round either. I needed to get 2 (or 3 for good luck) perfects and 2 ultras on a character I ALREADY finished the game on.
As for Gouken I got 3 perfects and 3 Ultra finishes by playing Akuma after I had clocked it on him too.
Note: I did fight Gouken previous to this with Blanka, but that didn't unlock him.
The capcom approved method of unlocking akuma/gouken (aka how to REALLY do it)

Yeah GG's mate, still trying to pick a main to be competitive with Sim haha.
Grappler Pack is up on our PSN now, no section for SFIV or anything though just stuffed in under Fighting Games.
I guess this means we are a week behind America for costume packs?

:-[ That's what I get for posting half asleep at 7:30am.
So I know DLC for LittleBigPlanet is region locked.
It's said it is that way for all PSN games.
However some dude on SRK just downloaded the Shoto pack from the Japanese XBL.
Do you think it's possible that SFIV DLC could not be region locked across both platforms, or that XBL users just get a little lucky if they can put money/points onto a Jap account?
If they aren't locked, I'm probably going to hit up entropay and make a Jap credit card so I can grab both beauty and shoto pack
I believe you can gameshare or friendshare or whatever to other regions, that's how Cpt.Munta got HDR months before our release. I think you can do the same with DLC? Saw some mention of it on SRK anyway.
Yeah, it's just that DLC for games on PSN atleast, is region locked.
So you can download it, but it will not be usable in game if the version of the game is not the same as the intended version from the PS Store.
I've paid for LBP dlc from the US store cause I have leftover $, but it didn't work on my PAL LBP. So I'm a little bit hesitant. I really would like to try grab the packs from the Jap store, but it's quite a waste of close to $20 if it doesen't work.
My better judgement is saying don't do it, but hearing that it works for 360 is shuffling me closer and closer to trying.
Probably not worth it for just some costumes really. I'm pretty annoyed, because I will buy the costumes, but it'll be more economical to buy the all-in-one pack when it comes out, EVEN THOUGH I've already paid for the brawler pack as part of my collector's edition :/
I think only the female pack and shadoo pack is worth the purchase.

Really interesting article by Sirlin on the ultras in SF4 and their effect on the game:
http://www.sirlin.net/blog/2009/2/27/street-fighter-4-ultra-combos.html
It *is* really annoying when you get the opponent down to 10 or 5% health, and then have to turtle your ass off to avoid getting smashed by some combo into ultra.
I do tend to agree that GGXXAC is a more... fun... game when it comes to comebacks. It's obvious that the look of SF4 and the ultras do appeal to the casual players though.
Random advice for people seeking....advice on SF4:
Stay away from gamefaqs. Their arcade board was terrible, and then i went to the 360 board, only to find about 10 topics complaining about friggin sweeps. >_> If a standard sweep is too hard for you to get by, you probably shouldn't be playing fighting games. One tard even justified spamming sweeps by his "real life" street fighting experience.
For the love of God, stick to SRK.
And next time youre in a bar fight, bust out a sweep. Apparently its a "fight-ender"
Hahaha!
And in case he blocks your sweep, cancel into a fireball. It gets rid of your recovery time!
I can't get by balrogs jabs. Seriously.
No really. Im dead fucking serious. Playing sgt.Bangbang today at yifans, he managed to shut me down with. jab, jab, jab, jab, walk forward, jab, jab etc.
Now before anyone says anything, yes, i AM terrible. But im not sure how to get around this. (No, really. stop laughing) I tried tagging him when he was walking forward, but i just ate a jab. Probably shouldve used more focus attacks now that i think about it. Was using Abel btw.
would have had to be a really well timed quick focus attack, as he would have just jabbed you out of it... did you try low pokes? or was he mixing up low and high jabs?
don't forget abel has that stupid invulnerable roll!
Balrog DOES have really good jabs. I don't know what Abel can do about it, since I don't play him. Presumably max range jabs are too far away to do the half circle grab?
But yeah, focus wouldn't do squat because the second jab would break it. Although maybe a focus backdash would work, or maybe even just backdash. However, being further away probably doesn't help Abel much, huh?
Hmm...

Sweep at range? Or I'd imagine forward + MK or Back + Heavy kick would smack him out of it.
Also a jab in and of itself can be blocked and is not dangerous. It will usually be followed up if blocked by two things a dash punch or a throw. You need to predict which of these Boxer will use. If you tech throw it will push boxer back out. If he dash punches then you can roll through it/focus it etc.
^theory fighter.
I would recommend the Abel (character) specific forums at SRK though for this type of thing as there are no doubt other Abel mainers (? :-\) that have come up against the same hurdles and overcame them.
Yea had a look at them. Not much as far as fighting boxer goes. They seem to be having LOTS of trouble against blanka though. Which doesnt help me much. >_>

But you should post the question up there. I've gotten a lot of help in character specific threads by putting a problem up.
Another idea is play versus mode with a friend and have them repeat what the opponent was doing. You can test what works without having to spend any money.
Bah. Ill have to try and remember my password. I havent actually posted anything on SRK in friggin ages.
I tried playing Abel against stereo last night.
Friggin douche has bugger all good pokes i thought. Seems like you have to get real good at spamming roll and then throw.
Maybe EX roll or EX something would work?
His c.lk and s.lk are decent. His basic block string is c.lk, c.lp, c.lp, s.lk, f.mk -> whatever.
None of it is gonna beat out any of rog's though.
And i hadnt thought about EX roll. EX rekka might be a good bet. I tended to get tagged while doing the command for stuff yesterday though. Meh. Ill try different shit next time.

I should point out that his roll gets beaten by EVERYTHING. Throws, Jabs, whatever. It goes through fireballs though. :)
How much recovery does Abel have after the roll? I was cr.jabbing my ass off as Balrog yesterday against Stu, and he rolled to escape them and then got up into jabs which hit him. He might have been doing something though.
Sweet im gonna be on tonight. Stupid Stereo better not be taking up all the damn challenges!!!
He's either on there already or joins straight after I do. I haven't actually played anyone else yet! :o

No recovery per-say, but the roll isnt invulerable, so it can be snuffed pretty easily.
Muhahaha! When I get home, I OWNZ TEH TV!!!
So basically I jump straight on to play some SFIV and when I do it happens so do you's :P
My net is down till the weekend guys so I wont be on much.
Did this combo on the PC with Gen last night. I might get it on tape and youtube it.
(Crane)jump.HKx2
(Mantis)Stand.MP
Stand.HP
HP.Hundred Hands
Standing.MK
HP.Zanei Super
Zanei Ultra
Was pretty epic, and I reckon I could get it in a match.
THAT... SOUNDS.. FUCKEN... NASTY :o
I hope you don't land that all the time!
Sakura has J.HP, c.MK, LK tatsu, c.HP, LK tatsu, s.LK, EX tatsu, Ultra :D
Which is just for show! It does around the same as J.HP, c.HP, EX tatsu, Ultra anyway :3
Sounds nasty, but the super and ultra will do like 3 pixels of damage due to scaling...
As for sakura, her ultra does ass damage in ANY combo :P
If Vega didn't lose his mask+claw so easily, he'd be in mid tier, wouldn't be higher because Blanka/Bison/Balrog screw him over so easily...
Those matches are very tough!
I'm still trying to get Focus Attack -> dash cancel -> Ultra with him, don't actually think it'll be useful...
With Vegas focus into ultra it might be easier to FADC back dash so that you have an easier time buffering the charge?
Yeah that combo I posted does less than my regular combo (after jumpin, s.mp, s.mk. super then ultra) but goddamn if it aint some stylish shit. It also doesnt work on shotos I have found out.
Yeah, but getting the backdash to work is what is hard, i've tried several ways listed on SRK but to no avail... I'll just stick to guaranteed stuff for now...
Fuck check that shit out!!!
http://www.ozhadou.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3598
That is fucking great. We need that shit like a fat rinning kid needs a shower.
Unfortunately NZ is too small to really make it worthwhile... :/
I mean I'm glad we have as many people as we do, but there need to be a LOT more people interested before things like that can happen. The RvB thing is a great start, need those posters to paste around places
I'm trying to chase iMageto on those posters....
I really want them out on teh streets by this weekend.
I dont like their tournament format simply because there are too many "equal" placings. Needs moar losers bracket plx. I want to know just how "last" i am.
Well you guys have seen my leet skills in paint!!! If you need me to do some posters I got yo back homey!!!
But seriously if you guys need material and shit for them or need any help holler at me. Im a Maori so I have plenty of cousins who can steal shit for me on the cheap.
I hope heaps of people turn up to the RVB thingy. My actual job is as a trainer, so I have some decent public speaking skills if you want like an anouncer or some shit for it.
OH MY GOD!!! I JUST HAD A RAD IDEA!!!
We should tape all the matches pro styles with like the persons name and shit next to thier life bar and have commentators for each match! THatd be rad as hell!!
I reckon we should try and get like someone from C4 or something to come and watch us nerd out. Even PC World magazine or some tech magazine or something... could be good publicity for the scene.
Hell yeah @ getting some footage of the matches, as long as someone has a decent vidcam kicking around somewhere... :o
Dunno about commentary though, that tends to be annoying imo, and hard not to just say what's going on on the screen (so basically, worthless)
What's this RvB thing and what's with the posters?
I work as a full time graphic designer and have friends in the print industry so if there is any way I can help in furthering possible tournaments by offering up my skills or whatever then I'd be glad to help.

Have you tried not dashing and just ultraing when Vega recovers?
I know this works with Guile, but I guess depending on the angle or something claw probably misses. Still, worth a shot.

Supposedly Fei Long had something like this on HD remix which had to be changed early on during development
I guess everyone knows about kara canceling akumas super/ultra. But I found out that it's easier because the motion has been simplified (or at least I never bothered to try this in sf3).
Super motion showed:
LP, LP, F, LK, HP
is now:
LP, LP, F+LK+HP
But even better is that you can kara cancel it by doing:
F+LP+MP, LP, F+LK+HP
Same with the ultra
but LP, LP, f, LK, HP has never been hard in the first place, i really hate these 'simplified' motions, especially the df, df+P for f, d, df+P... they just get in the way.
So anyone else here who would like to sign up for the up coming tournament at RVB?
Please check the Tournament Threads.

Yeah I get that. It's just it's quicker this way, which is rather handy to know I guess.
I think df, df+p is a bit silly. Just makes ken noobs all the more noobish.

Play meh!!!!
Any fellow local PSN users run across Elimination_ yet?
I had some close matches and won most of them a few days back. Now I meet him in arcade mode and he schools me hard. I think I one only 3 out of the 10 matches we played in the end Especially with Fei Long (I always seem to have trouble vs him in this game)

Knock them down, cross them up, put them in a jab jab mixup with either SPD or lariat or green hand, rinse, repeat?
If you're asking how to get in in the first place... uhh, no idea, I don't play zangief :P
Bison is easy to get it... but good luck with Sagat LOL...
Anyone playing Honda.
Just started using him a bit more now. Man is he fun.
My usage list currently stands at:
Bison
Sim
Ryu
Rose
Dan
Abel
El Fuerte
Guile
Chunners
Honda
gouken
fei
Seth
cammy
Blanka
viper
ken
gief
vega
sagat
rufus
akuma
Who are you guys main as mainly. I usually use Bison as my scrub tester and then use my other mains once I know where I stand.
come to yifans :P and you will know where u stand :D
My top are
1: Vega
2: Dan
3: Sakura
4: C.Viper

StereomonkeyO (stu) plays a pretty good Honda, it's surprising how beefy Honda is actually. I think buttdrop is completely focusable though, so that makes things a little easier...
As for my mains these days:
Boxer
Viper
I want to make Viper my #1 but it's bloody hard. Boxer is too good.
Other than that, I'm only really playing:
Dictator
Rose
Rufus
Sakura I've found to be pretty disappointing.

Had some awesome games with Hydro last night, got my ass handed to me before we got disconnected. I really enjoyed it though, I'll never get any better unless I fight people better than me ;D
It's hard fighting someone who is really good with a character you don't use, in this case C.Viper and never have to fight online so you don't know any counters. Took me a few rounds to realise and then adjust to blocking low on that move that comes out of the ground. I'm so much in the habit of just thinking I am safe at full screen distance :-\
lol, hydro viper is good, best way is to get up close and don't let him play distance game.
But i bet you will have a harder time playing his Rog...
Losing is ok, because in return you learn their pattern and play style, which will help you adjust your own play style and learn to counter each move.

Thanks G! Yeah, my Viper's getting better. I'd say like andy said, stay close and sit on those jabs and tick throws. I have the most trouble against players who rush with taps, jump in tap throw/mix-up, hard for viper to re-act on pressure games, and you best believe boxers got one of the best pressure games in the game!
Your Sakura was good too, I really enjoy the non-shoto fights brother! ;)
Yeah, and remember to block low on the seismos! I have trouble getting seismo chains down online cause of the lag f'in with the super jump cancel timing, and my feint game is non-existant online too for the same reason. . . ;)
I wanna have a bunch of peeps round on sunday to have some lag free challenges, and I have room for a few more!
sounds good, invites :D? send me a PM if you welcome me :) date/time/location.
Yeah Rog is hard to fight with, but i find sagat more of a pain...
Not sure about the new chars but from arcade perspective, Sagat would be the hardest challenge for me now. hope i get over it liek all other chars I've fought previously and manage to tackle them down.
Is this on PSN per Chance? I'd be keen to get my ass handed to me by people with arcade experience.
Rog gives me a world of grief too. And good fei long players for some reason.

Anyone notice it is getting harder and harder to get a random game online. Last night when I did match searches, the whole time I kept getting dudes with no bars at all.
THe whole night I didnt get one person that had at least one bar. Made for some shit challenges.

That's been my experience since the very start. I've only had 2 decent games since release!
Man, got seriously schooled by Hydro today.
Held my own with Ryu for one match (a a half before my modem spazzed out due to Viper power). My Ryu is probably my best I just don't want to main him is all.
His Rog, Viper and Vega are some of the best I've played.
Looking forward to my next schooling ;)

Why's that Andy?
Re: Online games, I have discovered that playing online after 10pm to about 2am yeilds dozens upon dozens of 3-4 bar challenges for me. I've run into great players on three bar like dk69dk, dadaekim, omnomnana etc, most from oz, but a couple obviously here in auckland too.
I've noticed most of us quit before 10pm, which is really when it starts up. I can get anywhere from 30-40 near arcade perfect challenges an evening at this time. Great practice if you're looking to school up on old & new characters alike.
I really REALLY need to get a stick while im waiting for my TE stick to arrive. All this talk of 'near arcade' perfect online matches has given me a boner.

I would add this rider: while the online can be very good (AU and NZ connections are immensely playable), it is very hard finding such connections - embiggen your friends list with as many people that play decently as you can imo, because random matches are difficult to come by.

Not to mention random matches with people that are actually any good. I had 10 matches in a row against different ken players.

Chock up those 3 bar matches while you can guys. I'm betting once the hype dwindles it will be harder and harder to find Australasian matches. In two years time etc.
Howdy , long time lurker fisrst time poster ;D
Ive got fluxcore , Ginol and lennysaurus on my 360 friends list . Ginol and lenny rape , havent had a game with flux yet . Anyway thort i better get round to saying hi .
I will be heading to the tourney next weekend , coming from pukekohe tho so bit of a drive .
Havent played any SF since my hyper fighting arcade got sold to help pay for my engagement party so sf4 has got me back into it .
Tho all my hyper fighting redizzy combos are pretty much useless in this so I might needa hand lol :)
Enjoying HD remix as well :)

glad you guys had fun, would of been interesting to see those matches.
Lenny's Gen is wicked lol... don't let that ultra/super link -.-

Yeah Im starting to think that maybe I should use abel instead after yesterday.
Work on him some more this week. I hate turtling and i reall like his roll to get int here and start smashing.
LENNY SMASH.... ?
Mate, Lenny is big, I'm sure he would smash any of us :X
If I can Tiger Rufus, I can Tiger Lenny.
I played gr0but (I think) from ozhadou over the last 2 or 3 days. He has the most ridiculous Abel, absolutely owned me every single game. At least he said my Rufus was pretty good. I also added pretty much everyone from here (http://www.ozhadou.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3571). Some pretty good games going on. I think we need to start recording some of these.

Oh and if anyones on PSN tonight I'll be on from like 6pm onwards lol. Prepare for the Rose shenanagins! ;)
aaaawwwwwwwwww.. but I like to roll and smash!!!!
Im gonna be on tonight too on xbl... Come fight me!
My JP copy of SF4 arrived. I don't have a stick yet but I'll be getting one within a month or two, preferably a HRAP EX SE. Add me.

Played Nifheim, Jakey_J, MercuryAU and a bunch of other aussies last night and early this morning, beat em all with Viper. That's 250 matches in a week online, with no less than three bars per match.
That's hot.
I'll be on tonight from about 9:30pm onwards (Until I've had at least another 50 matches I think) ;)

Ben said something about capturing through the AV output into another DVD recorder or some shit. should do the trick if we can get a TV with an AV out lol (Mines o.k, but like 12 years old or something)
In Online news: My Viper now beat Ozzies: Elimination_ (Perfect vs his ryu frst round), Goldmining, Nemesis2ahcha, and a bunch of others. Only lost to two Claw players for some stupid reason! :( Not bad for my only losses from 54 games this evening.
Oh, and what's up with the retarded 'counter- pick' mentality sweeping the online play all of a sudden. I can't tell you how many Blanka/Honda/Boxers I've beat from people who clearly don't know the first thing about using them at all. When the guy who picks ryu - ken -ryu - sagat -ryu - e.honda you know what's up. Good thing is I usually beat them so badly when they use those characters they leave the lobby.
lol @ aussies. And a big Fuck you to Blanka/Honda/Boxer scrubs. I spend all day on training mode recording your bullshit so I KNOW that shit and what beats it. *pokes out tounge* lol

Woot Ive finally got this combo down on Gen.
jump in, ST.HPxxFeirce HHS, ST.MKxxFeirce HHS
does good damage and builds lots of bar.

*gulp* doesn't work on shoto's though. Or most of the smaller characters. You can include a st.mp before the ST.Hp for additional hits, and I believe that if you go instead St.Mp xx HHS, st.mk it can connect on shoto's. also, don't forget the super after the st.mk for flair and big damage if you also have ultra stocked.
GO LENNY GEN! ;)
Yeah MPxxHHS works on all characters... but its harder to do due to the "drumming" method used to get the HHS slaps out
Quote from: Lennysaurus on March 19, 2009, 01:19:47 PM

I did some of the gen/honda combos by doing things like:
Jump in (HK/MK or whatever)
HP (before you hit the ground - doesn't come out x1 or 2)
ST.MP
HP (buffered x1 or 2)
HP (activates slaps)
Basically just hiding the presses by doing some of them before the move you're going to combo into the slaps. Certainly seems like there's a lot of leeway with how early you can do the buffered moves.
I'm sure most of you know it already of course, but someone might not.
More bragging: Beat Elimination_ again (He was ryu, Sagat, Fei, Gouken, dhalsim), Kingleeonidas (Ryu x2), Shoey38 (Ryu & Sagat). All with Viper, undefeated this afternoon all three bar connection lol!
(did triple seismo lock down too. . . kick ass!)
HEAR THAT All AUSSIES!
Damn Viper's actually pretty good at beating Sagat now I found! (Fought 66 this week) I think I've only lost the once to Smoofi's (Very good) Sagat this week! (On sunday at my place) (Hint: EX Seismo goes through tigers. . . f+mp goes over low tigers. . . QCB+hp beats knee!)
I'm planning on another get together in about two weeks (first weekend of April) And I think Lenny said he may bring Xbox so we can set up two tv's and have some good grinders. I can accomodate about 6-8 people at my pad, so you all are welcome to come and enjoy!

What, when done at the same time? That sounds pretty risky though... knee is safe on block, HP TK most certainly is not!
What am I missing here?
Haven't worked out the timing on using EX seismo for invincibility either. I did it randomly through a fireball on the first day, and I don't think I've done it successfully since. Haven't practiced it or anything though... hearing about EX seismo feint to avoid crossups makes it sound pretty useful though!
Lets rematch =P I'm getting tired of these no bar connections not letting me time my foward roundhouse properly =P

Hp.TK to meet the tiger knee. Actualy Hp thunderknuckle has invincibility on start up, so it is very good at stopping deep jump ins clean (if you don't have ultra stock for the burst time on a traded hit) and deep Honda headbutt/splash, blanka ball etc. Tigerknee also can be stopped pretty easy this way.
Oh and remember her awesome back dash. Fuckin tech right there, use it after knuckle pressure strings and watch Viper go through mk's and sweeps all day.
And Ex.seismo through fireballs should be treated like a 'parry' from CVS2 (NOt 3s PARRY it's tighter than that) You can easily go through Sagats high/low tigers (All) ryu/Ken/Akuma/gouken Mp+Hp+Ex Hadouken, Guiles sonic MP+HP+EX (Piss easy to go through Ex somic, it moves so fast just do it when you see him throw that shit out).
It also lets her go through random normals like Ken's F+MK, Gen's c.hp (both) and heaps of crazy shit. Set the Cpu to record and go test that shit out, you'll be surprised how often it'll completely save your ass, and give you a chance to hit ultra FOR FREE! (At sweep range or less) :)
And yes you can ex.seismo feint to miss cross-ups, though I'd recommend Saving attack then dash back (Or away I should say). It builds ultra meter, get's you safe and you can pretty much guarantee you'll be in a good position to pressure with Bk's seismos and Knuckle strings from that distance.
Caleb: Maybe tonight brother!!! :)

Smoofi: GGs last night bro, Just watch the turtle with Sagat vs Viper. You know she can pick you off with Seismo traps from a distance. Other than that, great pressure from the tiger knee sequences.
Geneterror: GGS too bro, your boxer gave my viper fits in that first game. Like I said, just watch the wake up moves, and work more on the pressure with ticks and throws and that match will be yours soon. Ben has a really good gameplan vs my Viper with his boxer, he's easily my toughest opponent ATM.
Simon: GGs brother. Awesome matches! some of the best of the night. Four bar connection is gravy!

Thanks bro, it def went a bit better than last time :). I was a bit distracted towards the end coz my fiance was bugging me to go make dinner haha.
Yeah I have to watch that wakeup headbutt, it's to easy to fall into bad habits from ranked matches online where people fall for it over and over again. Anyone that plays Boxer got any suggestions on a good wakeup plan for him?
Block. He doesn't really have anything else. Sometimes backdash/focus backdash, but if headbutt isn't going to do it he doesn't have anything better.
In my experience, anyway.

Agree, but it depends on opponent sometimes. You should follow the ABC for Boxer (And guile of course) ABC: Always be charging. sometimes just waiting on DB can be your best weapon in a close fight. Most intermediate to advanced players expect you to play a wake up game of some sort, so second guess them by keepin your cool and your charge.
Hydro cheers for the schooling and reminding how much I still have to learn about this game.
Your mixups are crazy kept me guessing and afraid to leave my comfort zone. Became a vanilla shoto. I should focus more on Dic anyways I guess ;)
Training mode for me.
Sorry again to Geneterror. I was hoping to sneak in more games before heading off to sleep. Have to get a good extended play session in sometime. Really good Sakura the one match we did have was tense :)
Munta: GGS brother! that dict is coming along nicely. Honestly, your ryu is very good, I just fought like. . . 133 ryus this week, i had plenty of practice on that match up lol.
Geneterror; GGS too bro, your Sakura is doing VERY well, I was lucky to land the ultra in the corner in that last round. . .keep that shit up bro!
And BAD GAMES to: Denboyk1 who msg'd me saying throws are cheap, so to have a laugh I won by PURE Throws only in our next match lol. He then called me an emo fag. Choice! :)
To everyone going tomorrow: Good luck at the tourney.
That fateful tourney is here already?!

I like playing with u too..
ur Gen is pretty good :)
Gen is very hard to play well..
Ahhh i was wondering who the person that added me on xbl was. :P When i get a stick + gold account ill have to practice my El Fuerte on you.
Half my night is spent trying to find someone in Aus or NZ. I've yet to see a Japanese player with 3 bars, only 1 and 2.
This sucks, I wish I was in Japan again; NZ is outdated by about 8 years in technology.

I've already added around 20 people to my list from there. Some insane players online.
Ive only played 3 good guys on there so far. THe rest have been pretty new. THey werent Ken scrubs by any means... but it definitely felt like they were 'new' to competitive street fighter.
While we're on the topic of gamer tags, make sure you add'Fearless Newbie'. He is a new forum member from Wellington. He's not too bad, definitely has the fundamentals down, and I think he would benefit alot from playing against your ryu Gino.
You figured your main out yet black? I hope its not ken or boxer lol! Enough of them already!.
In other news I posted a small novel in the gpforum tourney thread. God Im a nerd.
Gonna post a bunch of videos of my gen up at SRK and get them to give me tips in the Gen thread.

I saw the df.lk stupid backflip kick thing instead of the flip-over-opponent-and-crossup-kick and was all "I hate chun in this game".
Is it bad that i had a jam on ken yesterday and enjoyed it? Not as much as Fuerte but more than Abel at least.

Ken is not a bad character at all, his f+mk is really good. He just doesn't have quite the well-rounded game that Ryu has, but he's totally usable.
Just don't be surprised when people keep saying "SHORYUKEN! SHORYUKEN!" whenever you use him :)
Shoryuken Fever ;D ;D ;D
In other news I sent this to David Farrier after the tourney:
Hi David,
Just as follow up, we had the tournament on saturday and it went well.
Just under 40 entrants with cash prizes for the top 3 places. (I cant
remember the amount but all three top got posters and shirts, first
prize got a limited edition chun li figurine and $130 cash. Cant
remember how much money second and third got.)
Getting alot of positive feedback on different gaming forums
(gpforums.co.nz and our own nzism.alphaism.com) and we are definitely
looking at doing more in the future.
Our top eight player matches are all up on youtube atm under the url
http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=17BD3A86809A8A04 so you can
check it out if youre interested in seeing what high level play looks
like.

And I got this reply:
Cheesr for the update, I hoped to make it down but plans changed
Hope to organise a story about you guys shortly, will be in touch. Gonna

Im just gunna man up and use guile . Hes always been my fave since hyper , gotta lotta work to make him competitive but I see what I can do with him .
Yeah mang! Gogo Two Move Rangers! Mighty Chargin' 2 Move Rangerrrrz! but 4 srs it would be cool to have a decent Guile to play against
It'll be some hard work I imagine, but having the char fit your playstyle is very important! If you like guile and are PASSIONATE about making him better, then go for it!
I added some players on ozhandou..
one of them named jack...xbl id is humanbomb syd..
He is the best player i ve met....
raped by him 8-0 :-X :'(
his viper and ryo are so good...
sry on me :'(
GGs to Toomeke learn something new whenever I play you and the NZISM locals. :)

You guys are right about playing from 10 or so onwards. Get alot more stable connections.

Yeah and it's scary to think that Steve doesn't even have a stick at the moment so he's playing on a pad :-\, stubborn bastard.
It's official, Steven (I-Got-Paid) is one of my favorite players here in NZ. Awesome player.
On Humanbomb: I beat this guy pretty bad last week, and honestly, I didn't think his Viper was anything special. Kientan on the other hand is a very decent player, gone about even with him on Claw, Boxer, Viper and Chun. He's good.

Hi, brother, i just wonder know whether u have any tips on repeating viper's SEISMO HAMMAR, i often HJ when i want to use it again, so boring that..

Steven is just good value all 'round. Been playing fighting games with him since MvC2 came out in 2001(?), then the CvS2 madness began ;D. We used to work together and play KOF98 together on our lunch break :D
uhhhhh CVS2 memories A-rolento, eagle, blanka(also sakura, dictator) k-joe, ryo, geese N-terry, ryu, geese..... man i use to play that religously.....
in other news i asked my flatmate to buy me sf4 and ill spot him the cash on paid so youll see me on psn soon all scruby and stuffs, my psn nick will prolly be taiboas or kingpiccolo....

Hi, brother, i just wonder know whether u have any tips on repeating viper's SEISMO HAMMAR, i often HJ when i want to use it again, so boring that..
Hey bro. Yeah, I can do them at least 99% of the time now.
there's two methods i use:
first you can try: Seismo, then as you see Viper hit the ground and the explosion come up around her input either:
f, d, df, uf +P (this is good on lag free matches, but kinda tricky online)
or my favorite online method
qcb, uf + P
I don't know why QCB, UF +P gives you seismos, but it does. I have done four-five in a row on people online, yes, I kick ass.
IMO, if you're jumping instead of a seismo coming out, 99% of the time you would be doing to motion too quickly.
Slow. It. Down.
The most important thing to remember is you don't have to rush the method, just do it smoothly when you see viper hit the ground and the dust come up around her and it'll come out again. Hit training mode, set the CPU to block all, then go for gold. I got em down in an hour or two easy.
On a side note, you can do Ex.seismo chains like this too, but you will have to do it quickly. If you can get this out in a match it can be some major chip damage vs people. nice.

Agreed. Simon (Crazymobius) and I first met Steven when 2nd impact dropped here. He was very good at the alpha series too, Always agressive, always fun to watch and play against, particularly when compared to some of our more *ahem* current SFIV players. ;)
I'm hoping Steven can make it to my meet up in Manukau in two weeks, you're also very welcome to come along for the day Graeme. :)

I am so touched that people show their appreciation to my performance/character/humor and occasional obscure comments about tentacles and racisim (one of my fav mocking topic).
Anyway, I am keen to go to people's home and give them hell. When & Where is the next SF4 oggy? Fill me in and I will invade your personal space.
G, if you come then we can pull off some more black on black crime action. BALROG likes cash & woman just like me. hehehe

Probably worth waiting until the official tournament DLC comes out...
. . . Anyone know when we're getting our classic costume pack. We've had the others every friday morning first thing for the past four weeks. This week, nothing. Now. . . still nothing. I want my alt Gen mask. . . :(
Did PSN not get them the same time 360 got them?
Yeah sorry, no idea - I haven't been keeping track of the releases because I'm waiting for the all-in-one pack.
No new packs on PSN this week. I'm waiting to see if they release a pack where you can just buy them all at once.
How on earth does a guy that has a fucken claw made of BLADES on his hand do worse damage than a school girl with gloves on, wtf...
Also, I ended up splurging on my ms points and now have all the costume packs. I'm such a tool >_<
Damn you capcom!
The blades obviously arent attached very well. Thus reducing their damage, and explaining why the fucking things keep falling off during a match.
how the hell do u do custom colour
Quote from: silver_spoon on March 27, 2009, 11:03:28 PM
how the hell do u do custom colour
All u do G is complete the survival and time attack modes on normal. Every 5 or so levels give you a colour and taunt.
Also, good games tonight bro your Cammy has some very nasty ways to stop honda and his orciho throws :) Get the other guys gamer tags from the site to play even more games.
Oh i meant like 'custom' not 'more' colours. I swear i saw "Original", "Alternate", "Custom" for colour... maybe i was dreaming rofl.
And yeah, you were so epic too. My friend (Zangief) was so irritated he lost all the time XD. The Viper guy was pretty depressed of the millions loses too ;D
Sooner or later im gonna add everyone in xbox live.
No problems dude, I enjoyed those games. That Viper was pretty good, I only know one other person that plays so it was like "Woah, what do I do against Viper again?" lol :D And that Geif guy, talk about spd for life!
One thing though, I really think you need to invest in a headset aye. Would be cool to actually talk to each other instead of messaging by text.
will do, headset would be epic for moi. I added alot of people, my gamertag: POGONG
Im at a moral dilemma. Ken is fun. Not Fuerte level, but up there.
GGs to CrazyMobius
Who school me turbohard :-[ Reminded me that I still have alot to learn. Can't believe I even won the first match looking back.
Also highlighted alot of my matchup problems.
Blanka is by far my worst matchup. Ex Balls are really good and it seems theres no point in throwing a fireball if blanka is charging and has meter. He also seems to have a whole bunch of decent mixups.
Was really cool to see EL Fuerte played well. Haven't seen anyone really exploit his tricks till now.
Goodtimes ;D
I gotta spend more time in training mode, practicing my combos and using the record mode to learn how to deal with different situations. But when you've got competition out there just waiting to play you it's hard to resist!

Yeah good to play you after long time seeing posts on SRK! They were fun matches, your Rose is tough! As for Blanka, mine is pretty cheap but yeah watch out for that EX roll and ultra on wakeup.
As for the first match, now I know how hard Sim is for Ken! :D
Would like to play again for a longer session.
On that note. I'd like to make a call out to any other NZism members for PSN matches. I heard Ioane is back on the scene too, so yeah PM me or just add me - CrazyMobius. :D

My Gief is KING
I won a wrestling DVD for being awesome at SF4 at armageddon, I slept through the competition, but had a continuous winning streak with Vega for about an hour(later on) before I got bored and handed my controller to someone else.
They were like, "hey man, you're pretty fucking sweet at this game" and i was like, "It's all I've got to play until KoFXII comes out" and they were like, "cool, here's a dvd"
Wrestling dvd hahahah
Oh well, good stuff for showing up and winning!
lawl...
Well done!!!!
You should come up to Auckland :) you will get even better matches. Hope you can make it for the grinding session and the Tournament that is coming.
See Andy, we should've gone! Imagine all the DVDs you could bring back then we can sell them to Steven and Leo waaaaaaahahahahahahaha! Gj on being pro Oro when you got like 50 wins were you like "NZISM WAAAAAAAT!" ?

1. That you are far too good for the small amount of time you have played this game lol
2. That my ELF is starting to hit a wall. You had me stumped most of the night with him and I couldnt figure out what to do. I couldnt really do wakeups on you cause you could tele out, and focus ruined my day. ANy ideas dude?
3. That Id be a friggin idiot to drop Gen atm, considering he is the only character I could use tonight that you didnt outright beat me with hands down lol. So Gen is back in business. Trying to learn some shit so that i can S.MKxxHand so that it combos

1. I've probably played sfiv specifically more than most in NZ. Yifans must be missing my weekly wednesday blow outs lol.
2. Watch how Tetsu mix's it up on wakeup so that focus and stuff like teleport are no longer safe options.

To beat teleport you can run slide on reaction. A casidia bomb might be good every now and then to stop focus fishing. Maybe meaty fierce xx run into mixup?
I reckon you should stick with Fuerte. He is awesome to play against.
Noticed that high level fuerte play is based around setting up RSF loop and not so much his 50/50. So you've have the combo down just gotta learn some sweet setups.
3. Dood I was having a hard time against that Gen of yours. Next time we play I wouldn't mind doing ten straight games Gen vs Balrog so that I can get a decent feel of the match. You were hitting some sick combos I was literally goin WOOOOOO rick flair styles. GOOD SHIT!

Awesome, forgot that you been playin in the arcade.
You might want to PM me your number. PSN is shit compared to xbox live, so much harder to message and stuff. Anything to do with being online takes a million years ompared to xbox live.
stop your bitchin and prepare for beat downs since i got 2weeks off now.
Had fun playin' you last night Lenny, sorry I had to bail so fast a friend of mine turned up. Your Fuerte is dope bro, I really enjoy playing against him. I just need to keep working on those Abel combos, I was really off last night for some reason. I don't know that it's possible but maybe I smoked too much before I sat down to play last night (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v364/geneterror/bzzz.jpg), I need to power on through that kind of mentality though. I think at the next tourney we need a little smokers booth so I can be in the right state of mind 8)
One thing I'm struggling with though is the timing of comboing off the elbow (cr.HP). I think playing Urien in 3S has fucked with my mind. I either wait to long and try and get the finisher off a juggle like you do with Urien but obviously it's to late and nothing but the Ultra will juggle or I combo off the first hit which also doesn't connect. I keep thinking that it's like Urien and you can't combo off the second hit. Old habits can be hard to break sometimes :-[
Fuck that update shit. You guys better get your passes ready, cause the school bus is coming to all your houses!

Reaction run slide works well against bisons teleport, ive had limited success against sim's though. Random tidbit: Run slide, when done AS YOU ARE BEING HIT puniches blanka ball.
As it stands, noone ever seems to see quesadilla bomb coming. And you can cancel into the super. (Just make sure to time it right, other wise youll get a few flips, but not the full damage. Also, I can confirm that the full super can be linked off of a fully charged quesadilla bomb) I personally favour run, stop, run back, tortilla spin, but dont do it against a shoryu whore. Although, fake runs >>> shoryukens.
Played Lenny last night. Probably some of the most fun challenges I've had in AGES. Fuerte vs Fuerte is nuts.
Also don't give up on Fuerte just yet! Ariba!

aaaaaaddd meeeeeee. I need to spoon some people. And i gotta sharpen my Cammy for the next tourny :DDDDD
Fought some online matches today as.
GGs: Simon (Crazymobius) Four bar rules the school as we all know. Great Blanka vs Viper fights, they were the highlight for me my bro.
GGs: Ioane (Kingpiccolo), Your Gief is one of the meanest I've fought online, I have memories of you older Gief styles being integrated into the SFIV play, those ticks into SPD were something special brother. :)
My Viper needs more training on left facing double fierce combo though :/ it's retarded I can do it blind facing right, but facing left it's like 30% ??? banana.
GGs james:awesome viper, chun and vega i like got WTFpwned always good to play against people that can play chars other than flowchart ken, flowchart ken and... flowchart ken
GGs Simon: good to play ya again been a while since we last played aweome guile and blanka
Not GGs to lenny cos hes homo and uses homo rufus i hate you soo much.
i have played too much ken flow chart players! fucking shit players LOL
shoryuken shoryuken shoryuken!! god damit!!
yea i couldnt play ya properly bro.. i need a better internet connection
Man Ioane's Ken is meeean! Best Ken I've played against period.

P.S.: Your Dhalsim sucks, and your Ken is scrub!
in other news, GGs Toomeke. Good fun.
you got scared thats why you ran away bastard ill be on veroy soon to kick you ass with flowchart ken
Apologies to Lennysaurus for being so on again off again. Grandmother in law is staying over from Germany so we are having a ton of family time meaning I can only squeeze in some play time here and there.
GGs to the two games we did play though! My Ryu barely scraped through the first match and my bison got destroyed by your Gen in the second. Those off the wall cross ups are mad nasty.
Hope to get in some extended play sessions with you, Toomekke, Mobius and geneterror soon once things calm down a bit here.
Hope we get lobbies in the next update so we can all play from the same room.
Oh and ggs to Skuxz keep training that Sagat! :)
Heres something interesting, more tier speculation. Im just gonna link to the Gamefaqs thread i read about it on, since the poster has a couple of links in his first post.

Questions.
1. Why do some people call my Guile a turtle (was called 'lord of all turtle kind') when im just charging??
2.Any 1 got any tips using Gouken as I struggle against Fuerte + gief?
Maining Guile but loving Gouken + Fuerte is fun as hell to play with esp against noobs.
My brother thinks he has the best Zangief in the world although I own him with Guile but no one else.

Your brother is one of them :D
Zangief is a hard match up for most of the cast unfortunately...
Welcome to the forums J Po. If your on ps3 or xbl throw us your gamertag so you can get some games.
No tips for Gouken. He has a very tough time getting in on people and he basically plays a away game. When it comes to Geif though, throw mp fireballs. This way if he lariats he won't go through them, instead it should hit his fat head.
Other then that. No idea.

Gouken is a frikken beast I reckon. He'll just take a while to get used to. Massive combos!
wow GGs today Toomekke.
I was pretty happy that my Blanka could even hang that much. We both made a few dumb decisions at the end of rounds that caused a lot of stupid endings haha, and i kept doing dumb shit and getting rightfully destroyed.
GG's to Lenny, and kingpiccolo for serving me with some crazy execution in the last couple days. Amazing by both of you.
GGs as always Cptmunta, look forward to getting some more in and trying to figure out that Sim of yours.
Sorry if I missed anyone else, and sorry if I missed some invites I got the PC on the same monitor so Im probably gambling away money on poker or something.
Look forward to some more games soon

Not so much pro stats, but incredibly accurate information. Like the "Lenny is an asshole" thread.
To any1 that uses a control pad.
How do you set up your buttons in relation to focus, throw and all three punches + kicks?
:o
Fluxcore that msg was to people WITHOUT sticks!
I know how I like mine setup but was just interested in how other people do it
Lol, When I had to play using the controller I had it setup like this.
(http://img18.imageshack.us/img18/1517/xbox360controllerz.jpg)
I found it better to have RB-mk because I use mk more than mp. Also same with 3 punches on RT. I could never press anything on the Left side when it comes to playing fighting games. And learn to use the analog instead of the Dpad.
EDIT: I also used the 3punches/kicks to perform ex moves. Hope this helps out :)

Im way ahead of you. Well, youll probably be a cock and get good with him instantly. But yea, between using fuerte, flowchart ken, and dabbling in rog, ive been attempting to use rufus.
Thanks StereoMonkeyo that was exactly what i was after :)
My setup is similar except my 3 kicks are swapped to Right trigger (Guile is my main) plus I use A for middle kick + Left bumper is focus and right bumper is throw

(http://mmcafe.com/nico.html)
I like to imagine that the red text that shows up at the bottom whenever Sagat does ultra says "FAGGOT!!"
On a serious note, Rufus is an amazingly solid pick, he has just about all the tools (notably loses to Zangief due to no ranged stuff other than cr.FP), and is I think one of the easiest characters to use in any competitive fighting game I've played. All the stuff in that vid is really easy to do. Every damn thing combos into Ultra, and with basically no difficulty at all. His tornado move is ridiculously safe, and ex messiah kick beats tons of stuff (although isn't really safe if they block your mixup at the end, unless you FADC).
Toomeke, I reckon if you pick him up you'll do well - you seem to have a good grasp of what to do and what not to do, and tbh there's not much more to Rufus. not sure if Rufus will go further than Rog though... definitely a useful second char regardless. WHAT A RUSHHHHHHH (http://hhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hipquf9u5tw)

No problem bro. I find it pretty easy to do throws on the controller because I can press the lp and lk with my thumb no problem. Focus attacks were no good though (could never dash out of them) so that's why I had the lb-mp instead of focus.

Ahem, yes that's Kindevu the top Rufus player in Japan, who, by the way, is one of the best (and one of my favorite) Viper players also.
A couple of things for Rufus though, to consider before picking him up is that he's not as easy as he looks to use, particularly if you're used to playing the game on Easy mode a la Boxer or Sagat. He's got some tough matches versus some of the other top characters, Blanka especially IMO (But who doesn't?) also. It'd be good to see some more Rufus being picked here though, Lenny tried him out and kicked ass, and I'd be confident others who try him and love the rush down style will do well with him. :)

Links plz :D Can't find any info on the quals
I don't know where you can find info because it was held at Planet Zero which has such a bed rep with SRK that its banned from having info there. I googled it to no avail as well. I got this info from #capcom, SRK's irc channel.
justin/joe came 3rd IIRC.
The team that knocked them out Jan/Crow was Gief/Sagat, and the winning team was Fubarduck (3s Chun player)/Jon
If I hear any more in IRC ill update
For my controller, PAD2 in controller settings is my norm.
I use my arcade stick though, I can use either without problem. (except when playing as C.Viper, which is not looking good for pad)

Jesus, it's Old Sagat all over again, except this time the Japanese aren't soft banning him :/ While very precise and well played, it's quite boring to watch :/
Also, Justin is atm maining Rufus, who has trouble against Sagat...
(p.s. the US is still going to get raped)
rofl... maybe maybe, have to play to see :)
I don't think Justin isn't overrated by other top players much. Guy's got mad skills. I would like to see someone else take out Evo though. Especially if it was some random pad warrior from out of nowhere.
I know Justin is godlike and all but listening to him on Bunkei's podcast "Gen is ass, Rose is ass, Gouken is ass, Seth is ass." kind of made me want the underdogs to kick his ass and break that smug attitude of his.
I would actually like to hear about how he handles loosing. And how he looks at his losses to make his game better. Rather than hearing Bunkei kissing his ass and telling us all to go to Evo for the millionth time.
Post it on the forum that you want Justin to answer that question then! I'd be interested as well...
Unless you're too lazy to make an account and want me to do it.

I dunno flux, I think that from an execution stand point he is very easy, but in terms of zoning and what not he is kinda difficult. I have started pickin him up, but I feel like Im hitting a brick wall with him, particularly when I am being zoned.
oh, and sagat and gief are fucking nightmares with him. Against a decent sagat you may as well just put the fucking controller down.
Now akuma... im liking the looks of him now... Im such a character whore.

just put it this way, most characters are balance in this game. SO whoever you choose to learn is entirely up to you. Being a char whore is fine, just make sure you are atleast decent with them before you move on. It is hard to know every char ins and outs in SF4 because they are sooo different in many ways. After playing console at Ben's place I have come to realise I am still green in many ways and I have plenty to learn with my Ryu.
I think I can honestly say that Lenny is more than decent with HALF of the characters in the game. So all that needs to be said is...
FUCK YOU LENNY :P

Yes and no. If theres a character you dont understand, its probably worth playing with him for a bit so you get a better feel of what he/she can do. Not so much for learning the character, but more learning the properties of the characters abilities so you can actually fight against it. Fuerte is a good example of this.

I jsut think he takes more thought than just divekcik all day and look for ultra opener, which I think is a misinterpretation people could make when picking him up.

Funny, I always play with more intensity when a whole NO dollars are on the line. It's a Zen thing I guess.
GGs: Simon (Crazymobius): Always, always a great battle my brother, hopefully we'll get another challenge tonight. :)
I don't know a whole lot about Zen so I'll just agree :D
I'm trying to get to the point where it doesn't matter what the situation is, I can play at my best. I think Sirlin described it as tournament intensity when talking about losing to Justin Wong in Alpha 2. He basically said that he knew he was a better alpha 2 player but simply lost because J Wong made better choices despite his lack of A2 knowledge.
seeing Ben's face yesterday cracked me up lol. His game with Kevin was pretty intense, as always giving us a hard time. Just need to get use to pressure games and the best way to do that is to play good players as much as possible. No comments on playing from home with/without the $2 on the line since I don't even have it at home :D
Couldn't play yesterday since I had loads to do at work could only stop by for a few minutes... I fell unconcious after I got home from work at 4 pm and didn't wake up until 11:30 pm lawl.
good watching you's play yesterday
p.s there should be two sets of street fighter machines 8)
Welcome to the Site Yo! ++Another person to add on XBL :)

Awesome games last night Simon (CrazyMobius) those were some of the closest games I've had yet, can't believe I walked into that Guile Ultra at the end :D. Sorry I had to bail so quickly, I was waiting for a friend to come back and thought he was going to be longer :(
It's awesome that we have this much comp still online at the moment. Be interested to see what happens when KOF XII comes out whether it splits the crowd between the two games or not.

Can't see how it wouldn't.
My thoughts are that it's not really worth pushing KoF with tourneys/tutorial sessions though, since joe bloggs has no idea about it whatsoever.
Which is not to say we can't have a tournament, just that it's not really going to advance the scene at all, just be a wankfest for KoF fans.
Yeah I can't see KOF tourneys catching on. I'm still loving SF4 but I know I will want to spend some serious time with KOF XII once the home version hits. Will def have to split my time betwwen the two somehow.

Whats the roster so far? I want to make a team of big smashing guys!
Or have 2 big smashing guys and a schoolgirl and call it "Team Spitroast!"
Take it to a KoFXII thread :/

Awesome games last night Simon (CrazyMobius) those were some of the closest games I've had yet, can't believe I walked into that Guile Ultra at the end :D. Sorry I had to bail so quickly, I was waiting for a friend to come back and thought he was going to be longer :(
It's awesome that we have this much comp still online at the moment. Be interested to see what happens when KOF XII comes out whether it splits the crowd between the two games or not.
Yeah good games. No worries about leaving early. Everyone has stuff going on at home, sometimes I even gotta quit just to take a whizz. ;D
I hope that KOF game gets to Yifans it looks amazing. Although I heard it isn't getting a Western release due to American Sony being dicks.
So here's the press release from Capcom about the championship mode
http://www.capcom-unity.com/s-kill/blog/2009/04/16/sfivs_free_championship_mode_update_
tbh I'm not really that enthusiastic about it - what chance is there of having tournaments running here that are actually playable, when it's hard to find player or ranked matches?
I'm not even sure you can set private slots on the tourney to only have friends on - but then there are only about 5 of us regular xbox sfiv players anyway, and probably about the same number on psn (or slightly more)... I would much rather have had a proper lobby :/
Saving matches and watching the replays of the inputs is pretty swish for the 360 though, I'd much rather have that than the ps3's 'comment on matches' feature.
Yeah, total lackluster. If only we could get a lobby system...
Maybe in 4 months time we find out about a new DLC for a lobby system that was... most probably already on the game when it shipped :(. Thanks Capcom and your shocking marketing team, You guys roxorz!

Yea.....that dude played from 2pm till 7pm....soooo loooong.....Simon , cody , zosla , crazy killer ,i got paid , Ben , maybe around random newbie play him too (around 14)...etc etc...finaly boxer player shut him down i guess is u BEN lol...... ::) ::)
Zangief KKK too good when u time it right it stop everything
haha his name is Kevin. When i got there he was on 55 wins, not sure if the other guys where there but I only played him twice and Ben came and manage to beat him. His Sagat is already scary, now his gief is another scary one haha. The dude is like can pick up any character and make u piss your pants. super potential to be one of the best SF in Auckland in my opinion.
Better tell that fool to become a member then (if he already aint) :P
The Red Lariat= >:(
he's got better stuff to do, he ain't the type to get really into stuff like this. He prefers to play when he feels like and such. He does know we exist.
Bugger :(
dayum , but if hes willing to sit there for almost 7 hours playing it hes gotta be pretty hard out into sf4 ??????
I own Kevins sagat for free.
DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Kevin's easy as :D beat him first try

What do you mean by more serious? As far as I've seen he's one of the most serious dudes in Yifans. I remember him and JDG going head to head match after match on Third Strike. Mean as Urien.
He definitely has a very serious demeanor when playing no argument there...just doesn't seem like he is interested in playing outside of yifans and he will almost always leave if he loses twice. Actually serious isn't the word...interested might fit better so scratch what I said. I'm pretty sure that if he was keen on the game he would come to one of the grind sessions/tournaments/blah blah blah...or maybe he is just an arcade player. IDK
Oh and his Urien :o
Wonder if he learnt to charge partition in the arcades ???

Could have. Or he could have had a copy at home. It was released on Dreamcast and PS2. I hardly played 3S at home though and mostly played it at yifans. There were combo vids around even when Youtube was only just getting to be a household name.
As far as being interested I have seen that dude going there for at least 5 years. I'd say that's pretty interested. Not being interested in local tournaments doesn't necessarily equate to not being interested in the game.
Yeah your right. I was just looking at it from my point of view...got the game at home, always on the forums, watching vids, training mode 24/7, spending too much money at yifans :(...
He's interested I'm addicted.
The true measure of your dedication isn't how much you play when everyone else is. But how much you stay when everyone else isn't.
I don't give a shit about 'dedication' as long as people are interested in showing up to things when they are put on and involving themselves. Enjoy it while it lasts imo.
And dedicating yourself and playing a game when no-one else is is an exercise in futility to me.

gangstaaaaa
Its not like he is not interested in playing, I beleive everyone has their own priority and his is to feed his family and spend time with his GF, just like myself and Play when we can.
What I am trying to say is that he's got the potential to be one fo the best overall SF players around. He is a fast learner, practically picked up a character and would cause people headaches. If I had the game myself then it would be a different story :P
Oh well in da mean time please enjoy one of the semi final matchz video...... ::) ::)

The thing that scares me about Kevin is that he told me he dropped Sagat because he wasn't scary enough! I'm scared to see what his Gief and Chun get like when he really starts to master them

That is true about Sagat. I think of him as nothing more but a "TIGER WANKER" now. Plus I reckon he plays like a robot that follows a very strict flow chart. Booooooooring! :(

u mean he hasn't even mastered his gief yet???? :o
His gielf is already up there. So is his Sagat.
His Chun still needs work.
Sagat is easier to beat than Gief from my opinion. :D
He's not easier, you just have to play a totally different game against gief. Sagat is, for the most part, a really strong shoto-type character. Given the amount of ryu at yifans, you're just more used to fighting that playstyle than gief.

Strangely enough I don't find Kevin as hard to beat as your bloody Ryu! ;D Chun and Gief are at least a relief to fight though after a sea of Shotos.
lawl, i don't beleive the Ryu users are that hard, especially someone like myself who can't even SRK SADC Ultra properly hahaha.
Kevin is very accurate and punish badly with lures and such. Good tactics I think thats how i shoul dput it.
GGs to Boringryu. Sorry I had to bail on you, phone from a client, text about a gig all at same time :-[
I hate the Blanka vs sim matchup sooo much. Can't apply pressure with Yoga fire when blanka got meter and his jumps are so quick. Also those crossup hops and mixups are deadly.
In fact Blanka and gief give my "awesome" 4sum (Bison, Rose, Sim, Honda) a world of hurt. Gief isn't too tough I just have to play it super boring and safe, which is no fun.
Your Guile's getting rock solid. Had to work hard with my Rose to get that win.

Haven't tried it yet though.
Ok, so after getting my TE stick yesterday, i used my free month of XBL Gold, and decided to play a few matches. Nothing ranked mind you. This is my first experience with XBL playing SF4, and i noticed a few things.
MUCH more character diversity in the few games i played than i expected. I only fought ONE ryu.
Also, does EVERYONE just sit on the other side of the screen and turtle? That shit gets kind of old real fast. I walked up to one guy(Ken. The only ken i fought last night actually) just out of poke range, and taunted twice. He physically didnt do ANYTHING until i jumped over him, which was, naturally, a HP shoryuken.
And do people tend to mash lp/lk when they panic or is that just the few people i played yesterday? >_>
Yes and yes.
The reason being that its pretty easy to turtle in this game so a lot of beginner/average players will turtle to get wins. I was in this boat not too long ago :-[
And even good players mash on lp/lk. Can break pressure fairly easily if you have a fast jab.
Point taken on the jabs.
But Jesus, right when i thought i was arguably the worst player in the world, BOOM XBL.

lol so true. You can tell when people are new to SF or have plaed loads of the olderr games generally by watching this.
I run in as much as I can and get AA, DPed into oblivion hahaha
if you want to beat a turtle just zone hard out.
Aww nah, it wasnt a problem. (Though i do get generally raped by most turtles that are at least mediocre. Im not patient enough) Its just there was more of it than i expected. And lots of predictable jump ins. Really REALLY predictable jump ins. I got at least one free ELF ultra each game.
Next time your on chuck us an invite, would be happy to play some games.

Bizarre how it was only apparently a one bar connection since we've had 4 bars before. weird.
Your El Fuerte is insane! First time I've seen the infinite in real life.
Man your Fuerte Kicked my Ryu's ass. Didn't know Ryu's zoning game was at such a threat till I played you.
Can't wait to learn some more from my next ass kicking ;)

Good games last night though Lenny. You got that infinite down like a mofo and it looks like you have that Bison matchup figured out. Though I still reckon 80% of the wins were because of my clumsy slide kick into your focus >:(

As for Ragequitters. They make me feel great. Especially before a perfect. 25% life left it turns to training mode as they just stand there, I always imagine them throwing the controller and clamoring for the cable. ;D

I remember one time I saw a guy doing that. I knew he was gonna disconnect so I went into full attack mode and got him before he could pull the plug! Good times.
I love ragequitters, however it sucks in Champ mode because you don't advance through the tourney from it! At least that seemed to be what happened to me yesterday...
Is it worth having an NZ tourney using that new Championship system? Or will that be considered points farming?
Don't see why it would be a problem. The only annoying thing is hooking up with the right other people... easiest way is to make lobbies in the "Other" language and search in there only...
Of course it's only PSN vs PSN and XBL vs XBL...

for the boxers that dont know
The armour tricks are pretty cool
I use Abel's EX CoD (which is armoured) and kara cancel it into ultra or super on occasion -- did it once on a Sagat's cr.hk -- it's like a parry xx ultra ahahha
Just like @rochi said, quoting videos is tacky

hey has anyone here done all of the hard trials i didnt get any sleep last night because i was up doin all these hard trials i've done ryu,dictator,akuma and rufus stuck on heaps of last ones though like claws last one is freaking impossible.
I've done them all...
I found claws trials to be pretty straight forward. Rufus's ones fricken hard >_<
Getting your BnB's down is 1000 times more productive than doing trial mode stuff ;)
Lotsa doods need to up their execution if they want to have a chance at beating the better players.
Random :D
Exactly, and I'm guilty of that, my bnb execution is fucking shocking at the moment. Yesterday I missed Boxer's 2xc.lp, c.lk, headbutt xx ultra *3 times in a row* on the same guy (the ultra was too late and he fell through). Still won somehow, but jesus I make it hard for myself sometimes...
I used the trial mode combos to help pick out the chars I might like though, so for that it's all good. In Viper's case some of her hard trial mode combos ARE her bnbs, so yeah...
Vipers trials might aswell just make you try and lick your elbow -- those fuckers are damn near impossible... would have to be willing to spend some serious time in the training room locking those things down
I've done Ryu, Boxer, Dic(k)tator, Sagat, Sakura, Dan, Akuma and Abel -- pretty sure i'm missing some there somewhere, but whatevs.
Ive done them all except for viper

Claw's is one of the strictest - try breaking it down first, it's not as hard as IMO Blanka's Last hard trial. I got it after 10 minutes timing the double lk practice, but I am a Claw player ;)
I've done all the trials bar Fuerte's 2nd to last, stink. What's especially stink is that I can actually do RSF now (Last hard trial) but not the 2nd to last. . . confewzd much lol?

Not quite sure if that's props or a diss. Either way, being able to do them once and being able to do them all the time are two completely different things.
Just btw, I'll be the first one to say I'm really not that good at fighting games. My reactions aren't that great, my execution is pretty terrible, and I'm absolutely hopeless against scrubs. All I know is that I enjoy them, and want to find loads of other people that enjoy them too, and if we can create a scene together things can only get better (even if I'm getting my ass whipped).
Also, I think it's pretty obvious that everyone finds some different trials harder than other people. I had terrible problems with Ken's 5th trial, some people find it easy. I'm sure I found some easy that other people still can't do. Everyone's different yeah? :D

All I know is that I enjoy them, and want to find loads of other people that enjoy them too, and if we can create a scene together things can only get better (even if I'm getting my ass whipped).
Also, I think it's pretty obvious that everyone finds some different trials harder than other people. I had terrible problems with Ken's 5th trial, some people find it easy. I'm sure I found some easy that other people still can't do. Everyone's different yeah? :D
Hahaha just about every 5th trial is too hard for me :-[
I actually think you and Gino are pretty good considering you have no lag free comp barring each other. Plus we have been playing since hmmmm August last year
haha nah i was giving you props bro that shits hard. I just thought that doing all those trials would make you never fuck up a bnb for the rest of your life.

I found claws trials to be pretty straight forward. Rufus's ones fricken hard >_<
man are you kidding rUFus ones were easy, but man that last one with claw,fuck it's a bitch that second light kick just dont wana connect for me aye
Claw's is one of the strictest - try breaking it down first, it's not as hard as IMO Blanka's Last hard trial. I got it after 10 minutes timing the double lk practice, but I am a Claw player ;)
I've done all the trials bar Fuerte's 2nd to last, stink. What's especially stink is that I can actually do RSF now (Last hard trial) but not the 2nd to last. . . confewzd much lol?
lol yeah true,i learnt how to do ryu's fadc ultra before i even knew trial mode existed in the game.
Played some fucking scrub at the arcades tonight. He played as Zangeif so I went Bison. Destroyed him in the matches straight. Next thing you know, he went Blanka.
I lost to his bullshit Blanka. Fricken punished his roll with Scissor Kicks. He stopped doing that and started doing slide and end with electricty. In the end, he won and made me rage.
Told the guy his Blanka was shit. He said I had a weak Bison. I then asked him if he knew how to use any other characters. He just laughed and said I'm best with Zangeif. I told him he was a fucken noob and said he sucked dick. Asked him if he wanted to put money down. Bitch was to scared.
I fucken hate Blanka.
hahaha stu you thug
I'm surprised by how worked up you get by scrubs in this game :)
Yes, it fucken sucks. Though I like it better when I can tell it to their face.
Trina had to tell me to leave before I punched him in his face for his arrogance. Someone better teach me how to beat Blanka consistently because thhere are only two characters that make me want to punch peoples faces, Blanka and Geif!!!
Hahaha. You should watch me play at home. You will feel MUCH beter about yourself.
The only time I've been seriously pissed off was when that guy called me a sheepshagging scrub, but I just marked him as abusive on the xbla thing and decided to get on with my life.
Also, I'm finally G2-E! And the guy I beat to get there msged me saying "Awesome seth!" :D
Quote from: Toomeke on May 16, 2009, 10:09:41 AM
Getting your BnB's down is 1000 times more productive than doing trial mode stuff ;)
Lotsa doods need to up their execution if they want to have a chance at beating the better players.
Random :D
random but quite right......me included :-X :-X....
yeah i get fucked off as fighting gief with dictator, blankas allright though never really lose to him anymore but yeah anyone can just pick up gief or blanka and instantly be pretty hard to beat, hey whats your secret on beating gief with dictator i've tried playing safe with hardkick but he clicks on straight away and everything else i do he lariats me. pretty much all he has to do is lariats and beats me.
Bait him all day with devils reverse. When you see an opening punish him. Just be careful when he starts focusing your reverse because for some reason they made his focus attack take up most of the screen. Mofo >:(
Good thing to because his reverse beats lariats. Also if he tries to keep you in the corner ex stomp the hell outer there. You will be lucky most times because most Geifs i've come across like to lariat when you wake up. You could also utlra on wake up but most times lariat wins >_<
Another thing, throw his bear hugging ass when he does glowing fist and it hits you. I don't know if this is online only but I was able to throw the guy I played at the arcades when he was doing it.
NOW GIVE ME SOME TIPS ON BLANKAAAAAAAASS!!!
Green fist of all types is definitely unsafe on block for Zangief, you can certainly punish him after. Non-EX green hand is even unsafe on HIT iirc.
TBH Stu, with blanka you just have to slow down and react to what he is doing. Be vigilant with your tech throws.
The thing about blanka is that apart from his Ultra, he can only really chip away at your life bar, and save block damage can only really do damage to you if you let him.
Dont jump in on him on wake up. Be sure to Focus his rainbow ball.
Basically get yourself a lead, and then sit on it. This will force the blanka to try and come at you to gain match momentum, and this is where he is weakest. Just keep pushing him out, and dont get baited. DONT EVER JUMP IN ON HIM WHEN HE HAS CHARGE AND ULTRA METER!
Remember that when he is walking forward he has no charge so jump in etc and start shenanigans.
Good tips here,
Here's my two cents, hopefully it doesn't come off too scrubby. ;)
Blanka and Gief gave me the most headaches with Dic. Hopping Blankas would always cross me up and make me loose my charge and gief I couldn't rush down in case of the slightest fuck up. Now that I'm playing Rose more I seem to have more control since I don't need to worry about charged, just everything else ;)
Gief is tough cos it's a boring match and it's easy to loose patience. With Dic against gief scrubs headstomp is your friend. if it misses and you're far enough away lk scissor kick. Can't you slide Lariat? Or am I dreaming?
As Rose I just have to zone my ass off. Rose does hardly any damage so I just have to try and keep full screen away most of the time and sweep lariats. Get the lead and keep it. Luckly her dash is really good for running away.
With Blanka I'm always looking at his meter. At the start of a round alot of scrub blanka Ball straight away, LP ball and then throw, or slide. So I usually dash back and punish.

Have u guys played with Humanbomb syd, Zoddiac, Aesop83?
I think they are the best players on XBL.
Playing with them always make me drop into desperation.
Can anybody give me some tips against Viper and Chun?
Hey Arnold! Welcome :)
Play some games against Fluxcore to learn the match up for Viper and Gino for Chun Li.
Learn to read Vipers burning kick because you can focus it. Though watch out for her thunder knuckle.
It's hard to say what to do, which character are you using?

Its a lot like how Mike plays Bison. Lots of poke pressure and empty FADC's to close distance. Hes quite fun to play actually. Patient but aggressive. Id love to be safer on offense myself.

Yifans is only good to learn how to fight ryu. Or, if hue is there, to lose quickly to ryu and not learn anything at all.
But ryu is my worst matchup anyway, so thats fine.
Actually, i learned a lot from fighting kevin's gief. Scraping out a few (in this case, ONE = a few) wins here and there. (mostly there. no here, since there was only one win)
hey guys,
any tips on dhalsim? I play rufus btw.
dhalsim is very annoying turtle style char. i can beat any other turtle chars but dhalsim is special. his lp fireball travels real slow so I cant punish him by jumping over it. i usually eat an ultra or super. if there isn't a meter he just jumps back HP or s.HK. if i get close he uses his long reach advantage to push me back. if cornered he teleports.

The general rule with dhalsim is to play against him patiently. Just sit back a while and build meter. Dont bother moving in on dhalsim unless you have meter.
Divekicks will beat his limbs as long as it is your foot hitting him. You will also want to get good at focusing his limbs. eg: he jumps back, you dodge forward and focus, he jumping heavy punches your focus, you dash forward out of the focus and now youre in his face.
Dont focus any of his fireballs as it will lead to a massive combo. When you are on him keep your divekicks low. Youll notice that once you get in Dhalsims tend to spam their throw in hope that one of your divekicks will hit high, somake sure you keep jumping if it hits high.
Remember dhalsim has a small life bar, you only have to hit him a few times to bring him near death. If you get a lead sit on it and let him come to you.
Hope that helps.

Total agree, Lenny's given you some good advice here. Also, if your opponent likes to Air teleport directly behind you, you can sometimes telegraph it and go straight up jump HP Which hits in front and behind Rufus.
But yeah the main thing is to learn your focus/saving timing for his limbs and advance that way, then swamp him with dive-kicks and mixups in close, and for gods sake if you get an opening go for s.hp xx tornado for third life, followed by ultra in corner. Remember Rufus f+throw (Headbutt) does good damage usually, so that means great damage to dhalsim, so use that one if you can rather than the punches unless it's to get him in the corner. :)
I've beaten all the survival and time trials. Does that make me good? Challenge trials give me RSI.
I found survival and time trials did that, mashing lariats for hours on end :p
I still haven't unlocked the last colour from time trial, just find it so boring to do :/
I set one of my buttons as 3XPunches and kept pressing it. If you have a turbo controller I recommend using that also.
Just need to mix it up when it comes to cammy though

Is that the one where you fight all 25 opponents? Easy way to get through it is play an uploaded soundtrack rather than the original music. I recommend the Pulp Fiction Soundtrack.

You must get a lot of good connections against Aussie players eh? Seems 4 bar matches are getting to be a rarity in NZ now. Thank God for the friends list.

Who do you use ? If it's a turtle Guile, I like to rush the shit out of him and just stay on top of the guy. Lots of block strings, tick throws, etc.
I play Abel, so this comes sorta second nature for him. He's at his best when he's playing in your face and pressuring you to make mistakes.

If the guile likes to do crouching roundhouse, start practising some punishing moves before the second hit can hit you.
Get in close, his flash kick can go under you if cross him up.
If you use blanka, don't ever slide in on him unless you want to feel pain, he recovers REALLY fast from those sonic booms.
Ryu and ken (and maybe others) Hurricane Kicks go over his sonic booms, really good if he throws them around carelessly.
Remember that he does have a air throw and meeting him mid-air can be pretty annoying if he uses it.
If he really loves to turtle and you can get a lead on him, a fun thing to do is to sit in the other corner giving him the big finger while the clock runs out =P
And then randomly drop the SMOOF ELBOW on him.

Welcome to my world. Your rog is good though. But i dunno, you might find rufus to me more your cup of tea. Rog can apply pressure quite well though, he doesnt HAVE to be a turtle. Just dont get fresh with the headbutts, and watch how ben plays.

Yeah, Rog isn't quite the rushdown powerhouse he was in ST, but you can still play him like that pretty well... at least for the first half of the round. When they have ultra you have to play a bit safer... but that's the same with every char really (unless you like eating ultras!)

Hey guys, I'm trying to do some combos with Bison, got this one off the net but I don't know how to cancel in these moves because they need charging, can someone tell me what I need to do, can cancel straight out of the cr.mk but then not sure if the scissor kick is meant to be instant or wait a bit.

The Cr MK you should be able to cancel into scissor/psycho crusher/super even, as soon as it hits. It's also easier to land combos like that if you cross them up.
Also make sure you are holding your charge in the right direction as soon as you jump and throughout the entire combo.
For an easy one button combo to get you started:
Jump forward hold back as soon as you leave the ground MK in the air
As soon as you land move the stick/pad to Down-Back hit MK
Then before the animation completes Press forward and MK for the Scissor.
I usually go Cross up MK Cr. LP X2, LK xx LK Scissor. Good pressure string if blocked even. Cr LP to Cr MK sounds dodgy to me, dunno if it links or not.
Standing lp links into crouch mk. Its pretty easy once you get it down. Also weird thing about this game is that after a cross-up you are further away from the opponent than you would be after a normal deep jump-in. Yay for 3D models ::)
When you play a charge character you need to learn how to "hide" your charge.
This is generally done by holding back/down while you jump, so that by the time you hit the ground you have enough charge to do your special move. Or by holding the joystick down/back during a move that moves you forward. (eg: guile back+short, bison crouch roundhouse)
TBH, you might want to try an easier link for bison first. Like:
jumpin whatever, crouch jab x2, standing short, scissor kick.
Just make sure that as soon as you jump you are holding back so that your charge is ready for the scissor kick.
Ok thanks for that, hiding the charge I have just started doing, necessary for the in air MP x2 to ultra which is why I started doing it, but I see that its real important for charge characters overall. I can do the combo suggested by Lenny, just still unsure how the cancelling works. after holding back throughout the combo, do I push mp and mk then the dash out of that counts as the forward direction for the scissor kick? (so two quick motions forward only counts as one for inputting the move?) Or am I horribly wrong. cheers.

lol , horibly, horibly wrong,its all about the timing, just do it as it sounds. Keep doing it in trainging mode and try out different timing till you get it, then hit me up for more advanced combo's lol.
But yeah like lenny said , that combo's rats , do clp,slp,slk, lk sczr kicks if they block, but if you hit then do clp,slp,slk, mk scizr kicks for more damage, the clp,slp,slk,cmk can be a lil dodgy.

i just finished getting all my characters and coulors back, but i'm never touching those fucking hard trials ever again, guttered cos i fluked vegas 5th trial and i'll never go through that stressful shit again, back to the grey title/icons for me.
I recomend not opening the xmb while its saving after an online match thats how mine froze, i was just gonna msg kaos some tips. Oh yeah it happens to x360 more theres a whole thread on it in SRK forums,so dont h8.

I play my brother 10 mins away by car and it's 3 bar.
Sadly my connection with Toomekke went from a solid 3 bar to a crappy 1 bar. Not even worth playing at that stage. :'( What happened? We are blaming John Key a the moment.

Auckland to CHCH bro, Simon's an AK regular! 4 bar is amazing for that distance I reckon, considering some of the other STHAK crew are three bar for me. I think the only 4 bar I get are Simon (Crazymobius) Ericsonau, Lenny, and sometimes Eru. :)

wow I take back trying to defend Alex's Ryu now.
I don't care if Ponder is trying to say he has shit execution because he isn't use to a Jap stick.
He isn't much of an OG if he can't fucking pick up and use the stick the arcade machine uses for an SBO qual tournament, let alone go to SBO. Does he think they will let him plug his perfect 360 into the arcade machine?
-_-
So angry, he better hope combofiend carries them past Art/Joe, because atm east coast is so much better.
Edit:
Not that his footsies or overall game is that bad, but jesus, really? Missing every srk fadc? REALLY?

Fuck. That was intense. I need to watch more of these. Whats the time difference so i know when to actually watch them?
OMG That last round!!!!

Valle needs to sit in training mode from now until then, and i think he probably will. But i have to agree.
Combofiend's viper is going to get DESTROYED in Japan.
And he was the backbone of the team!

Haha why do you say that? :D
I think your right tho. Japanese Viper even at lower levels is a helluva lot tricky then Combo's. I think everyone lost to Viper not necessarily Combo.
They reckon this will be their best chance but honestly I think they will get a thorough beating at sbo.
He might pull out rog in japan. Or something new. Who knows. Valle will be the one to get destroyed in japan unless he gets that execution sorted. Japanese players dont tend to leave many openings, so hes gonna want to do as much damage as he can on the rare occasion that they do. And shoryuken -> FADC -> whiffed shoryuken isnt the way to do it.
i only saw up till mike ross got knocked out
where they goin to have these up again?? or is it a wait till you tube
HD video on demand is coming.... today I think?
Lenny man, you have to watch some of those vids, especially Ed Ma's akuma.

Honestly I think James' Viper is more impressive.
All the viper players in #capcom were commenting on how Combofiend's viper wasn't very impressive. When he did that mp.tk into bk combo in the corner, I was like 'IT'S TOO HIGH YOU FOOL!!! IT WON'T CONNECT!'
Personally I like Magus1234's viper more...
I agree with Combofiend's Viper not being that amazing, but god damn, he's an amazing player. I actually prefer seeing his Boxer (even though I fucking hate Boxer lol) because I think he suits Combo's style more than Viper does. He's also got a crazy Dhalsim, but I don't know whether he plays 'sim much these days.
I agree that aesthetically James' Viper looks far more impressive but I wouldn't agree that James viper > Combofiend viper. Combo managed to put loads of pressure on his opponents without all the tricky feints and cancels that most Viper players use. Fact is he beat a whole bunch of the best in the USA with his unimpressive Viper. It'd be like comparing Hue's Roo to Alex Valle's.
No disrespect to James or Hue either :D
Id like to see Alex Valle play Hue. That would be interesting.

None taken, it's flattering to be compared full stop.
However, refusing to use a characters full arsenal does not mean that you're a better player just because you win. I can pressure all day without fients and cancels, but it's a hell of a lot easier to pressure when you do use them, and thus easier to win. Why make it double hard on yourself eh?
And, also, Combofiends Viper is a bit of a joke among the other top Viper players Kryojenix, Kensou & Magus1234, in fact there's a thread at srk kinda dissing his unimpressive useage and style of play with our suited lady. I could sit and watch Kensou's Viper all day, that guy is near jap pro imo. Combo's not so much.
true but all the people dissing combos viper didnt qualify for SBO did they ;)
So they should stfu 8)
Theres a million theroy fighter Sf players who think theyre better than this top player or this top player .....
Reality is put them in that high pressure situation after playin 13 hours straight with a trip to sbo in japan on the line and lets see if they can even still stand let alone mix it up and hit their combos .

I don't think it's a case of him refusing to learn all the Viper stuff, he just hasn't yet. I was trying to make the point that he is that good even without all the tricks.
Basically Combo's Viper has thiiiiiiiisssss much stuff to learn where as Kensou has thiiis much stuff to learn. Who's better? Combo. Who has more room to improve? Combo.

I guess refusing is the wrong word, hasn't learned would be more along my line of thought. Still, it kinda sounded like you were saying Combo was superior BECAUSE he didn't use all those tricks, it is this to which I disagree. All in all tho: YAY VIPER! It's about time the US started rockin her in tourneys.
I just reckon these U.S players get more attention than they deserve.
who needs tricks to win :D? u only use it when its needed tbh. a solid player is all it takes, less mistakes is all it takes to win :P looks at my sobby Ryu lawl.
Combo said he didn't use all of Viper's tricks because the Denjin setups were kinda fucked and he was gimicked to only using easy shit.
I doubt someone like Combofiend can't do everything Viper's got, just got to wait til evo to see.
Combo like Goku. He not gonna show his true power level until he fights Frieza

Viper doesn't have solid footsies (aka her normals are pretty shit), and her specials aren't the best either, so actually most of her game revolves around tricks and mindgames. She also takes more damage, so needs to make far fewer mistakes than her opponent to win.

who needs tricks to win :D? u only use it when its needed tbh. a solid player is all it takes, less mistakes is all it takes to win :P looks at my sobby Ryu lawl.
Viper doesn't have solid footsies (aka her normals are pretty shit), and her specials aren't the best either, so actually most of her game revolves around tricks and mindgames. She also takes more damage, so needs to make far fewer mistakes than her opponent to win.
El Fuerte is the same.

And Abel lol
Abel has plenty of health
I've been playing Sakura a lot lately, there's someone who takes a shitload of damage. Every matchup feels like an uphill battle but it's fuckin' satisfying when you take down a Sagat/Ryu/Balrog/Zangief. Especially the guy the other night with a mic that laughed when I chose Sakura and told me he was going to destroy me, he ragequit before the end of the last round as it was clear his Zangief was about to get destroyed for the third round in a row by a little girl BWAHAHAHA!
Sakura needs her crossup back that would help level the playing field a lot!
Yeah Sakura isn't actually that bad against Zangief, her jumpins stuff Lariats pretty damned well!
Yeah Sakura isn't so bad eh. I heard she was a bad matchup for Sagat cause she can cross him up so easy ><
dang anyone who thinks sakura is crap go play zoddiacs sakura , most insane shit iVE EVER SEEN .

My bad, I meant more the fact that his poking game is pretty terrible and so are his specials... If you can't get in range of f+mk you're pretty much poked unless you can guess right with an EX tornado throw and harass some wakeups
ive played another sak player thats realllll good play something cant remember his name hes pretty good with the zonin.

Yes, she needs it back soooooo bad. Fuck this j.lk crap.
My Sakura relies to much on focus attacks (pointed out by flux, thanks :-\) But I still have fun with her. Now I'm giving Gen ago ;)

If sakura had her old crossup she would be waaaaay too broken. As it stands she can use one EX bar to hit confirm 400 damage. Having the bitch crossing me up all day (ala Ryu) and hit confirming into fuckloads of damage and mixing it with throws/overheadds/etc would be yoo good.
A2 good. That game was entirely c.lk, c.lk, s.lk xx hp shoouken, crossup, repeat, dizzy, j.hp cr.hp hp shoouken dead.
She would probably need a little nerf to her combo damage/stun, but yeah.
Take Seth for example, he has a ridiculously mean crossup, and if you hit the followup twice they are dizzy (with NO ex). Sakura wouldn't be much worse, just she'd do more damage...

Pretty much what it says in screen cap. Plus 4G of RAM.
Holy crap thats a demanding game, graphics card?
By the looks you're using a dodgy onboard intel graphics chipset -- which would explain the low FPS. You mentioned it was a laptop, right ? I was reading the "maximum" requirements and they didn't seem too intense, 2.0ghz core 2 duo, 2gb ram, 10gb free space, Direct X 9.0c... Fairly run of the mill ?
Yeah onboard graphics will destroy any hope.
Here's a list of Japanese tourney results mashed into a format which shows % character use/abuse as a function of the total BP of the players.

Daigo himself already has over 206,000 BP which is about 1/3 of it.

Yeah it's shame I can't just plug in a graphics card like if I had a desktop.
But you are right, I think they did a pretty good job at optimizing it. I even like running it on full setting super slow just to get high res screen grabs.
Not gonna buy a desktop for it. If my Laptop had the balls then maybe. For Street Fighter 4 on Business trips awesomeness.

Yeah, actually, Ryu isn't so popular a character among the top 200 players, I think by last count there were four of them, one of which was in the top 20: Daigo. Considering 11 of the top 20 are Sagats, I can see the 47% is justified. Good to see Shiro's Abel and Kindevu's Rufus are still around the top 20 mark, in fact Kindevu has three characters in the top 200 lol.

Um, cause he's the most popular character among these top players. Needs no explaination.
Last I heard AC Revengers Abel was also up there in the ranks. Quite a few of the japanese are picking him up and playing relatively well with him.

does he still have the best sent atm?
cos his shit is tight wish i could use sent like that fool, i havent seen much of him in sf4 though wonder who he mains???
Nah jwong was the best always :) Even sanford said his sent wasn't the best.
As for his main, he hasn't decided yet. Akuma/Cammy/something was the last I heard he was concentrating on.
BTW Sanford isn't going to evo, so don't ever expect to see him do anything, ever.

So what? We're going to perform hadokens by pressing down the clutch, shifting it into 4th gear, then 6th gear, and 5th gear, then letting go of the cltuch. If you mess up, you will stall, nothing will happen and they kick you in the face! :)

-> Senretsukyaku (I can pull this off straight away or just before Dan hits the ground and it never connects; he blocks all of it. Also looks like the first kick whiffs every time.)

Sorry to hear that bro.
It's kinda crazy, but after the tourney I've been playing much better. It's like all the pressure of the last few weeks just dissipated and now I can have fun again :D Also, my timing and shit seems much more on point now for the same reason, probably cause there's nothing to prove (Or lose) anymore.

Same here. I feel like I'm at a point in my game when I know the THEORY behind what I should be doing, I can execute everything 95% correctly, but I just can't seem to stick to it, which leads to me ultimately losing. I want to play safe and poke, but instead I rush in and get beaten out. I know I should and can punish certain things with THE DAMAGER, but instead I go for 50/50 (or what seem like 10/90) mix up situations.
Maybe I just need to go back to Sudoku ? lol
There are always periods in your fighting game career where you're trying out different things and it makes you play worse for a while. The main thing is to keep at it, so you learn the ins & outs of whatever style/combo/tactic you're trying to bring into your game. Knowing when to play safe or rush in or whatever is just another aspect to perfect... not that it's easy!@
I think im gonna hold off on Fuerte (well, play slightly less with him) for a bit. He's my main and always will be, but i think im a little bit stuck atm and need to crank out something different for a while.
Im mucking around with Ryu simply because my fundamentals are terribad, but i want something a bit mroe different. I would jump straight on Akuma (not gay), but every man and his dog seems to be using him at the moment. Same reason i dont really want to learn Sagat.
I know Jay is learning Rufus, so i dont want to step on that thunder. Plus when i think about it, i dont really have the desire to learn him. I like the look/feel of Seth, but i probably play a bit too dangerously to use him to full potential.
All that being said, i think ive narrowed it down to Sim and Claw.
My problem is i intially wanted an alt that makes up for my mains weaknesses. Looks like that aint gonna happen :P
Since theres nothing to do at work for the next 2 hours ill watch some videos of some high level sim/claws. (leaning towards sim atm)

Feeling the same way after taking a week long break from the game.
Feel like I've just got the same ol' tricks and aren't as flexible as the tourney. Also has to do with being online again I reckon. Anything below 4 bars feeling like fighting in custard, I don't take as many risks either in case they don't come out.
I might mess with Fei Long and Honda a bit more for shits and giggles. Maybe try and optimize my router somehow.
Then go back to Rose and see what I can come up with.

where were you bro??
i ended up playing sf4 for about 30 min and fuck that game sucks dick
that game puts me to sleep especially after a month or so break and only playing marvel
i feel like my character is stuck and can hardly move or attack
played a ryu he wasnt bad just boring and why is jump so godlike in this game
i actually think its possible to jump back all the way to corner jump hurricane out and repeat till time is out vs any character without a fireball
and maybe its lag but nothing is easy as a non shoto the possibility that a dragon punch could come out anytime just fucks me off
sorry for the rage but there are so many things that i think were done wrong with this game
Its allright if you dont like it, heaps of others do so it's all good.
This game just got fun for me again now that i've been playing Sim nonstop, probably because i'm getting owned again. Man that combo mk-yoga flame is hard to master, i keep fucking it up in game.

Myabe some training would help, but then again for some players its hard to get their mind set on another fighting game since they are usually stuck to the one the play most and find other fighting game too different and can't really get use to the system.
I was sitting on xbl until about 10:30 NZ time. Only saw Lenny online and he was playing magic. Also my connection is suffering (I have my girlfriends xbox portforwarded now) so i'm sure that would have suck :(
Also was having fun on the chat last night too. Sorry barnstorm.

Yeah I gave up on that Standing Mk in Yoga flame. I traded it in for Crouching MK. Looks trickier but I found it way easier.
That combo isn't hard, b+mk, hcb + punch? No harder than an SNK super motion...
The only thing that absolutely fucks me off about SF4 is trying to do dash forward fireball and getting dash forward dragon punch. Even worse with Abel because Falling Sky is so fucking terrible outside of combos. The input system sucks donkey ballbags

IMHO Street fighter 4
online is one of the shittest games you could play (except if your getting a 5 green bar connection). The crap netcode makes it impossible to play any kind of footsies. Zoning verges on straight turtling because of the laggy inputs for anti airs, fireballs, long range pokes....You can't bulldog as a result of lag which really hurts characters like Gief, Balrog and E. Honda. Reacting to throw setups is a bitch. Ugghhhh it just sucks.
You basically have a game stripped of all the good things that it has going for it. Of course if you don't like a game based on footsies and zoning then your not gona have much fun anyway...although the lastest match videos out of Japan are suggesting that the game is getting more aggressive http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9zAuUYEVlKU

Good news imo. I hate the fact that this game GREATLY favours turtling. Thats the only area where it lacks balance imo. Most people will disagree with me but w/e. There should be a place for rushdown and a place for turtles. SF4 isn't particularly accomodating of the former.

Ha never thought of it that way. But Instant air tele cross up FP MK FLame the MK was always to fast for me to cancel. I just buffer it into the Flame now with more reliable results. Also mix it up with MK slide for goodtimes. Dangerous times but goodtimes.
Screw trying all that on pad though.

Playing Online = learning the different gameplay matchups etc, I don't tend to play 100% my ability as you stated with the lag factors. so usually 70% of what I can usually do :)
But most games i play I get 4 bars and sometimes 5 if lucky, so in other words its not too bad. Maybe PS3 just suck :D
I reckon xbox has a better online game. But it's not perfect.
I will see what the PS3 can offer when I get one next week. Which reminds me, I need to hack a pad...

this is also my biggest annoyance about the game and i have no problem with turtling but when it becomes turtle fighter 4 and turtling is the only option then i have a problem
i mean i love almost every thing street fighter related but this i would almost bet money that a ryu could do 3 moves an entire match to win, jump back, fireball and air hurricane and could beat any non fireball character(gief being the possible exception)
no other street fighter could you get away with that
and stereo i must have just missed you i jumped on a bit after 10pm
Sim b+mk yoga flame is relatively easy once you get the hang of it and is important because it leads to super
That 3 move thing is a little unfair, no? I mean, eventually he'd be in a corner...
I think SF4 penalizes offense a bit too much by giving your opponent ultra, otherwise I don't really have a problem with it.
Other than the stupid input helping and easy reversals.

Pretty much all they need to fix outside character specific stuff I reckon.
Maybe have the threat of loosing your Ultra if you block too much. Kind of like a guard break meter that replenishes but you loose one stock of Ultra meter instead of breaking guard.
That way if you have full ultra near the end of the round you still can do damage if you loose it just not as much.
Or if you ultraed when you had one stock and your health is low and you've got another stock you could make you more hungry to be offensive and try and land a link into it.
Chip damage also adds to Ultra so it might not balance out. Works for K Groove though.
I think even just have them 'wear off' ala k groove could work. At least then you only have to avoid your opponent for a little while.
Mmmmm K Groove.
That's it I'm organising a CvS2 night at my place soon.

the thing is i have played (what i deem) quite a few good players mainly online and a couple when visiting auckland at yiffans and the first grind session
are you on xbox? cos id be willing to try this just to prove that jump is that good
this is how i see the match going, ryu gets a life lead jumps back to corner throwing a random fireball here or there as he moves to corner when opponent comes close he jump hurricanes out
repeat till time runs out
its just i think people dont see that the jump in this game is that retarded
What happens when you get cornered, and the opponent DOESNT advance, but waits for you to either jump back, fireball or hurricane out?
At the right distance, you either
A) Jump back like they want you to and eat an easy punish
B) Fireball and give them a free jump in (which WOULD be free given the right distance)
c) Hurricane out, into yet another easy punish.
and finally, the 'BEST' option
d) You both block until someone does something wrong.
It works if the opponent is going to try and chase you. Assuming the opponent dodges/focuses you fireballs, and closes the distance without doing stupid shit and eating whatever normal your backjumping with, eventually this WILL lead you into a situation where your options are A,B,C or, if your lucky, D.
Additionally, im just going to throw in that if you do this to el fuerte, prepare to eat a stream of run, stop, guacamole.
I KNOW it works against people who either suck, or arent used to such a retarded playstyle, but once you get someone with half a brain, then this doesn't work. Period.
Jumping by its self is not strong in IV. In fact its probably the worst its ever been in an SF game. What can make jump seem so strong is the huge stages (the area as a whole) and the huge space between each side of the screen. Making the stages small would make running away a lot harder and encourage aggressive play because getting stuck in the corner is just as bad as its ever been in an SF game. Its also funny you mention Gief as he is one of the few characters that has a hard time dealing with runaway tactics like that you have mentioned.
I know the easy input thing is annoying especially for some characters like Seth but as a whole it makes execution far less of a factor than it has been in past games.
A common execution problem in sf4 is getting low mk xx DP instead of low mk xx fireball. Most will blame this on the simplified motions put in sf4 and they are right about this. Now to fix this problem all you have to do is slow the motion down and make sure go from down back when you cancel mk into FB. 5 mins in training and should have no worries. Compare this to the time that you have to invest practicing how to do a dragon punch in sfii. I have spent hours practicing DP motions well playing ST and probably only have a 60% success rate at executing them in a real match AND don't get me started on 360 motions...
I reckon that basic execution is so easy in sfiv that people simply have not bothered to practice how to do all of the different motions the Street Fighter IV way. If your getting funky shit coming out then go hit up training mode. Its what you have to do for every other fighting game.
Things that I would like to changed or added to the next SFIV:
Super meter is reset at the begging of each round. Super meter builds faster. This would encourage the use of supers and prevent people from stock piling meter for later rounds.
Focus attack/canceling/breaking is balanced out for the entire cast. Some characters are simply way too strong in the Focus department. Characters like Ryu, Sagat and Akuma have fantastic Focus attacks, great ways to use focus canceling and awesome ways to break focus attacks. Compare this to Dhalsim who has a shit FA, almost no use for focus canceling and a shitty focus breaker. Yay!!! Get rid of Focus canceling or give everyone a good way of using it. Shit is undercover broke imo.
Increased blocked stun and reduced reversal frame window. Speaks for itself.
One idea I had for Ultra is that it would require metre to use it. Lets say it takes an Ultra meter and three ex bars to use Ultra. Now that would make ultra useless right? Not if you made certain normals ultra canceable. Then everyone would have some way to combo into Ultra. It also takes out the threat of DP FADC Ultra and would discourage the use of random Ultras.
::)
Yeah I'd go along with that.
Actually the main problem I have execution wise is d+whatever xx dragon punch, which works fine until you have 4ex stock and then you get super. Instead you have to do the retarded motion of d+something, mash down forward + punch, which I simply hate. I think basically the buffer window is just way too huge for those motions.

I use to listen to this when I was playing Fight Night Round 3! No shit!
I wouldnt mind seeing a guard bar in SFIV. Thatd change it a bit.
Also Ben speaks the truth regarding the blockstun and reversal issues. That shit blows.
What do you mean about the walk forward d+mk xx fireball? Cause that has been an execution barrier for shotos since Hyper fighting. Trying to do it so that you get a fireball and not a DP?
Jumping is shit in SFIV. I think you might be playing alot of online SFIV too Barn, cause that would make the juump alot harder to react to.

fixed moarrr.
It's not about practice, it's about disliking fundamental design decisions with the game...
My biggest problem with SF4 is the ultra - I hate it.
I agree it should also consume a couple of EX bars.
& Supers should be toned down damage wise & comboable from normals for all Characters.

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
I have to agree with Zolsa on that one.
Ryu's fireball is one of his greatist srengths and weaknesses -throwing one out at full screen distance, at one of the following match ups when their Ultra is charged: Abel, Vega, Chung Li, Honda or Balrog (when timed right)can lead to Ryu eatting that Ultra. Counter attack Ultra's can be damaging.
Match ups like Balrog & Gief can be a headache for Ryu. Yes you can win them -but you've gotta keep your wits about you.
Jumping back is more often than not a mistake -you wanna keep the middle distance & pressure on your opponent. Jumping back can leave you open to eatting most attacks (charge characters love it when you jump back).
Air Hurricane with Ryu has it's uses -but like anything if you do it often enough anyone can read that. Dhalsim has a great game against any character jumping in the air. Ryu Included.

this is also my biggest annoyance about the game and i have no problem with turtling but when it becomes turtle fighter 4 and turtling is the only option then i have a problem
i mean i love almost every thing street fighter related but this i would almost bet money that a ryu could do 3 moves an entire match to win, jump back, fireball and air hurricane and could beat any non fireball character(gief being the possible exception)
no other street fighter could you get away with that
and stereo i must have just missed you i jumped on a bit after 10pm
Sim b+mk yoga flame is relatively easy once you get the hang of it and is important because it leads to super
It maybe harder than you think doing only those 3 moves to win, I am guessing you haven't played anyone on SF4 at a higher lv ( not like daigo lvl ) but at a decent lvl. It won't work mate.
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
I have to agree with Zolsa on that one.
Ryu's fireball is one of his greatist srengths and weaknesses -throwing one out at full screen distance, at one of the following match ups when their Ultra is charged: Abel, Vega, Chung Li, Honda or Balrog (when timed right)can lead to Ryu eatting that Ultra. Counter attack Ultra's can be damaging.
Match ups like Balrog & Gief can be a headache for Ryu. Yes you can win them -but you've gotta keep your wits about you.
Jumping back is more often than not a mistake -you wanna keep the middle distance & pressure on your opponent. Jumping back can leave you open to eatting most attacks (charge characters love it when you jump back).
Air Hurricane with Ryu has it's uses -but like anything if you do it often enough anyone can read that. Dhalsim has a great game against any character jumping in the air. Ryu Included.
Jackpot!!!!
but there is more to this but of course, so lets put it this way, if you leanr teh system and put some effort in practice you will get the result. Just plain playing the game and not understand teh basic fundermentals is not much use.
fuck I hate multi quoters
Stop being a grumpy old man Alan ;)
I dont like the system. After playing it for a while, I just dont want to put that much effort in cause I dont enjoy it as much as other games. Id much rather play ST, alpha2/3, MVC2, or BB.
What's ST?
i prefer sf 3rd strike any day ;D

its just one of those things that is different for everyone i guess, personally I feel and see your point though I find the SF4 system quiet unique in its own way. But that is from my perspective, I would of actually though a player like yourself would actually adapt and enjoy SF4 as much as as I do but then again I am wrong heh. I personally really hate messy fighting games such as MVC2 or BB... :P
ST = super turbo i guess?

I tried that at Lenny's place. Akuma is so cheap! Can't jump out of raging demon, if sweep is blocked, you can cancel into fireball for safety.
back to sf4. I 'think' I like it, but I guess I prefer games that are easy to get into, but hard to master. I mean, SF4 isn't that hard to get into. but there are some other popular fighting games that are certainly fun to play and watch at every level of play, from scrub to pro. Like MvC2. I mean, I can watch 2x guys who have no interest in video games, but love comics just mash on easy mode with their favourite marvel characters and something cool happens.
I think i'm just too used to 2d fighters where you can consistently cancel one move into another.
Capcom achieved what they want from SF4, which is adding to SF2 but still sticking to it's core (where as sf3 is a completely different style with the parry system and all). But i think some people, myself included, wanted something flashy. Well, I know I did :P
Oh, and I also didn't expect the community to reach the meta game so fast, where tiers become so obvious from such an early point.
somebody can correct me if i'm wrong with any of that, but from my understanding, a general agreement on things like tiers and the meta of meta game level don't get reached in a game until well into it's life span.

Actually I was thinking of downloading remix. You up for some matches on that bro? Also does PS3 have a decent HDR scene? (he says in the sf4 thread)
Screw it it's only $30 I might just get it.
Well, you can never be sure when something will break the game open again. Unfortunately for SFIV it doesn't really seem like anything major will come up, about the best most people are hoping for is some bullshit exploits involving the input system (basically more option selects).
The benefit ST has over IV is that it's fast paced, so you're much more enthusiastic about playing it again. SFIV sometimes feels like a real drag...

I'll happily play you at HD:Remix bro, I love it! Not a huge scene online but you can def find games. We should start and HD:Remix thread in the PSN section see who else is keen.

I just find SF4 not as fast paced as ST or 3rd strike....but coming from a marvel player everything seems slow.....and i get real impatient when playing....i like the game, but man, update it or something....hdr is where its at tho....sagat juggles yayur
Man after playing BB I find SF4 way to slow
i'd rather play IK+ ;D
Have yet to play MVC2 but will likely get that soon - looks fun.
Hopefully its success will spur Capcom into making MVC3
MVC3 is some pretty wishful thinking.

I agree
Whilst I didn't personally get into the whole 3S game so much, I did think it had some absolutely AWESOME characters. Makoto in SF4 ? YES PLEASE!
Would also like to see more Q, but I don't know whether he'll fit too well into the SF4 universe
Quote from: moose! on August 27, 2009, 04:29:18 PM

Really useful post.
BTW 3s sucks, I'd rather play SFIV any day.
And that's what most of the problem is. At least SFIV only makes you not want to attack for half of the match.
Just out of curiosity: did you ever play 3S enough to learn/come to grips with the parry system or did you just give up after being stomped by someone who did?
^
I don't want to offend anybody but it sounds like a lot of people don't understand the games that they don't like. Sure option select parries and the like may be a little too strong but parry in itself is not strong. It's simply another part of the guessing game.
3s is a very offensive game. Watch any Dudley video and you will see that a round can easily end within 10 seconds.
And why is game speed such a huge factor to everyone? Is SFIV that slow that you can see through all the mixups, tech all the throw attempts, anti air every jumpin, punish every whiffed limb and so on. Get stuck in a Ryu or even worse Akuma 'vortex' and you will be hoping that the game was slower. Its almost like people don't want the time to think about what the other person is trying to do and would rather just eat mixups until there random guess hits and then proceed to mixup the other person. Almost all of the best players in New Zealand play an offensive style of SFIV. The only exceptions would be Andy, Richard and to a smaller extent me (I'll rush down if I'm in the right frame of mind).
Thought about the guard bar thing Leo and I really don't think it would work very well. Some characters would absolutely rape gaurd bars while others wouldn't be able to do jack shit. Basically the top tier would get even stronger.
:-*
SFIVs speed itself isn't a big problem.
in fact it can be a nice change of pace after BB et al
BB is harder work physically :)
But its purely a preference for some to like an even faster pace
and it has nothing to do with trying to mask or get away with whiffs etc that you might not have otherwise (for me anyway).
The strategy / tactics of a slower game like SF4 applies equally so to games like BB / ST etc its just your mind has to be trained to see whats happening and adjust faster - I prefer this - not saying i'm any better - its just more fun (for me) when you get into the zone. Takes a while to warm up though - its like playing later levels of tetris when everything is at warp speed.
Its probably due to the sports I enjoy (table tennis / fencing) where you have to be thinking 3 or 4 moves ahead at high speed. Unfortunately I am nothining like that with fighting games (oldy with family) but I do enjoy watching those that are.

Yeah i get that. A major change like a guard bar would require the game to have a huge overhaul.
I think when peoplee are talking about the speed, its not just the actual speed of the game, but more like the flow of it. The way attacks string from one another. The way the blockstun works to allow elaborate and fuun block strings.
The one MAJOR thing that pissses me off is how people can mash during your blockstrings. AND DONT FUCKING TELL ME HOW TO BAIT A MASH CAUSE I KNOW! If you want a dragon punch, you should have to do the motion properly at the time that there is an opening in a string. not just mash like a twat every now and then and be rewarded with something that can on hit lead into ultra/etc. Same goes for gief SPD in block strings.
I thnk people are getting worked up about nothing. I like vanilla ice cream. Someone else might like chocolate. Another dude might like strawberry. Just cause we like different ice cream, doesnt mean we have to argue which ice cream is better. We should just accept the fact that each of us have different tastes and that we like our own ice cream for its particular reasons.
You just say that cause my Strawberry ice cream owns that chocolate one you have.
Yes of course I have tried 3s. I've been through this many many times on this forum already. I played the game religiously back when it came out and the US scene hated the game, and kept playing it for a couple of years. I started to get bored of it, and basically haven't seen any videos for many years that made me ever want to play it again, and I think that says enough about the game. If it makes any difference I bought it for dreamcast, I liked it that much back in the day. So yes, I understand the parry system and many other things about the game, as far as I'm concerned it's a game whose time was up about 3 years ago, and wasn't that good in the first place. This was the last year at evo as well from what I understand.
As for the speed in SFIV, there are two things which annoy me in fighting games. Longass combos that you get bored waiting around for (GGXXAC, BlazBlue, MvC2 are all very guilty of this), or games which reward runaway or turtling far too much. Usually there are a couple of chars in games which have strong runaway (Storm, that old geezer in Samsho5), but I think SFIV is very teetering on the edge of just being boring in general.
edit: Lenny I totally agree. I like vanilla too, and hate blockstring mashing bullshit. Block stun is stupid in sfiv. That's one thing I'll give 3s over it ;)

Sure a critique or review here or there about downfalls isn't gonna hurt but just plain saying a game sucks is just dumb. It's only gonna aggravate the peeps that do like it.

This, ^
We all still love SF4 right? we still get off on match vids that are fun to watch, it can't be that we are still playing it because it's new. ;) We had a awesome tournament with people pulling out crazy tricks and antics that I'd never seen before. Just kidding I know you all at lease like the game.
I'll say it, that Street Fighter 4 is my favorite Street Fighter game so far. I whinge a bit about input windows Ultras and the blocking. But I'm still really am loving it.
I hope it's not just because of the flashy visuals and cos it the "in" game right now. I really love playing as all the characters and how each of them feels different from other versions of their character (Probably why I love random select so much) I love focus attacks and focus canceling, even Ultras with their issues.
You guys are right, we discussing preference. Like i said I like a meat and potatoes fighter. MvC2 I like, but not as much cos' I don't understand it and seems all to fast and confusing to me. BB will take a while for me to acquire a taste for as it's got so many tricks and bells and whistles to it. Seems like each character you could almost build a fighting game around their "engine"
I'm just so glad SF4s helped kick to start a scene with other old schoolers (even noobs) so we can explore all these older games again.

Yeah thats a fair call.
The games that play faster tend to be combo heavy which is counter to the fast pace back and forth poke style I also like.
There is no perfect game for me and there never could be as the things I like are often in opposition.
e.g In BB's case I love the speed & cool combo's - yet its the combo system which will ultimately be my undoing as I will never master the longer more damaging strings that opponents have. Means I need twice as many openenings on them as they do on me. So I often wonder what it would be like with shorter combo's and more pokey play (maybe not as fun - hard to know). But the asthetics, character design, story etc have me hooked.
Anyway with all thats been said I still like/enjoy SF4 I would not be on this forum if otherwise. Because we enjoy SF (the franchise) we all have our own hopes & tweaks we would love to see to make it better but as always whats better for me may not be better for you.
Capcom have a hard time trying to satisfy such a large audience.
Yep, they certainly do. SFIV is a really good attempt for a new series, too.
As for your 'perfect game', for me I think that's pretty much just ST :)

word!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
round 1 FIGHT!!!
thats what I see above lol.
I'll drop my 2 cents as well, #s is good as it is with its own system, though I had never got into competively therefore I would not comment any further but from what I see its fun to play if there is a huge community of players.
SF4 would be my favourite out of all other SF since the early 90's when SF2 was stil hyped. Although the alpha series are also another great achievement by capcom, I still prefer SF4 as I am the type who enjoys better graphics, new system and competitive play. Just like everyone having their own preference.
As for BB, MVC2 and such are just a bit rough for me... too messy. I still liek playing them casually but if you ask me for competitive play I'll stick with SF4.
I'm with you Andy. I had my doubts about SF4 before it came out but after playing it for the last few months it's one of my favourite SF games. I thought after the tourney I would turn my attention to Blazblue, which I have but I find myself still playing SF4 as well.
Many of us have said it lately but CvS2 is still my favourite SF game. This will sound like heresy to some here but I like SF4 more than the Alpha series.

That makes me feel a bit better.
However, you might as well try for the wake up mixes, since the only thing he can punish them with on wake up is crusher. And what retard bison does wake up psycho crusher? Plus half the mix ups i do against charge characters force them to lose their charge anyway. (corpse hops etc)
If he teleports, youre safe, and if he doesnt, its the same risk/reward you get from most other characters. Often you can bait the teleport as well, which is a free whatever for fuerte if you read it right.
Still a 7-3 imo, or at least a 6-4, since getting the first knockdown on him is a bitch, and when you DO get it, 90% of the time it gets reset and you have to look for it again.
TRUe
After spending an hour or so trying out the ryu run away technique i mentioned, it appears i was slightly wrong you cant win with just those 3 moves(this was with a friend in room so no online shit to worry about)
However if you play a solid ryu for the most part of the match then pull this out you can knock about 10-30second off the clock depending on how long it takes for the opponent to catch on and then land a hit
if you still think im way off give it a go and let me know how things pan out im curious to see if people have a similar outcome to mine

I would guess that people would have similar results. What I would expect to happen is that at low levels of play the Ryu would win whenever he got a life lead and ranaway. At higher levels I would expect that the Ryu would run himself into the corner and most likely lose. Either way at least 10 secs of the clock would run down without each opponent touching each other. I see what your problem with that is and its understandable but your not likely to see it at higher levels because Ryu's zoning is stronger than his runaway.

If you think Ryu is nasty at runaway/keepaway than I've got news for you buddy, there are far worse culprits.
jsut thought I'd post this for lolz, poor dsp.
lol, that dude got perfect twice ahh lol. At the start i was like cool a Gouken,then pow he's shit lol.
But online is pretty shit though. But if you cant beat'em online you'll get raped against the same person offline, if i was that dude i wouldn't post myself on youtube getting perfected twice and eating my words.
bring shit online is another story from offline...I find it match more challenging offline :)
I play at a higher level offline than online as it gets more tense and interesting when the player is around you :P

Had some decent games today at lunch. Got some decent wins against the half decent players, and got BEASTED by the relatively new ones. >_<
Finally figured out how to beat matt's friggin honda.
El Fuerte's mixups apparently only work at medium-high level play. DP scrubs dont fall for it beacause they dont know wtf it is theyre falling for. >_<

Haha Viper's the same, very good versus non-scrub players, It's like using feints in block strings vs Scrubs, you get DP'd HEAPS >_> <_< cause they like to mash that shit out regardless of getting hit or being mixed up, like you said, they don't even know they're being mixed up cause they're too busy jamming out little circles in the corner with the joystick lolololol

Congrats on beating matt's honda....I managed to do it once so far....the keep away, fireball turtle, straight up jumps, guardbreaks & double air punch into ultra seemed to work for me until he sussed me out.....now he knows better.....
After they get over the WTF someone challenged me with El Fuerte??? Pity he doesn't have much on the wake up...hammer that fucking guardbreak!! it's gotta whole lotta reach (similar to Fei Long's)....had a small jam with him the other day....tha fucker is hard to use...

Are you serious? It speaks for itself , think about it a little,use your third eye and you will SEE lol .
edit:Oh i never said bait all the time lol (Bait all the time?lol)
What weazzy means is that if you were truly 'mixing up' you would inevitably do something different, that wouldnt be hit by the inevitable shoryuken. So in turn, youd get a free punish.
Which is exactly how i fight that shit once i realise theyre too dumb to fall for my mixups.
Rofl. You can be too smart for mixups, and too dumb for mixups. How lame is that?

Just letting you know if you were looking at buying SF4 for PC,
Steam has it on special for $20 USD.
Steam is the same program that you play counterstrike and half life from.
One more important thing , its this weekend only. USA time though, so you probably have to Monday afternoon sometime.
hi guys i picked up sfiv for pc last weekend in the special steam deal ceekaytwo mentioned, i have been playing it with keyboard so far because i dont have a stick but i think i will need to get one.
i had a quick look in training mode to verify the input, and i can see certain key combinations dont register together for me e.g. (cviper double jump only works if i am standing and not while running, or kens hell wheel only works if i use the single throw key that is mapped, if i use Light K+P it doesnt register the direction key.) So its a bit gimpy using a keyboard, i think most moves aren't affected because you aren't holding multiple keys down too often but its a bit dodgy and id rather get something a bit more reliable.
are those Madcatz TE sticks still the best bet for a noob? I have read around on here and see it looks like the cheapest way is to order from Capcom store directly ($400 from mighty ape was a bit steep for me, $300 odd from capcom seems a bit more doable.)
I need to start looking around for some good explanations of this focus attack and cancelling. I kinda understand cancelling because that seems fairly straight forward, just start one move then during that moves animation you switch into another like a super. But I don't quite understand how you're meant to use focus attacks yet, I did a few of the challenges and see how you can cancel from a special attack using a focus attack and then into your super/ultra. It's a fairly decent learning curve i reckon, and the game doesn't even have a manual ;D
I did manage to beat seth on medium with Ryu and Ken so far though, took a few tries though :-\
Hi man, yeah sounds like you've got a bit of learning ahead of ya :)
You can get a cheaper stick if you want, http://www.firstgames.co.nz/shop/playstation3/playstation3real-arcade-pro3fi is a pretty good choice (I believe it works fine on pc)
As for focus attacks, and a general overview of the game system, try reading this http://shoryuken.com/wiki/index.php/Street_Fighter_IV
thanks for the info bro, I also have an xbox 360 so I'm thinking the madcatz TE might be a good option if I want to play anything from xbox live arcade. If the TE is still regarded as the best stick I think I will go with that, for about $300 from Capcom store.
I had a read of that shoryuken sfvi wiki before posting here (bad etiquette not to at least read up on some basics right), but i still don't really understand when you're supposed to use the focus attacks.
I understand how it will absorb a non armor breaking hit, and can crumple your opponent. But when do you guys use it in matches? I saw in a video how you can dash out of it, and you can use it to block a fireball and then dash to advance which is pretty cool. Are you supposed to use it as a sort of counter attack, similar to parry which will stop an opponents strike and give you the initiative or am I misunderstanding what it's there for?
I will keep reading on that shoryuken site there is a lot of info there on the forums too, just takes quite a while to find what youre after (or sometimes the way its explained is a bit too advanced for me)
Cheers
Focus is a difficult element to explain effectively. And everyone uses it differently. PLUS the usefulness of the focus is different for each character.
I personally use it as a counter for predictable things. (a full screen honda buttdrop is a good example) It absorbs the hit, and when you release it, you should be able to score a crumple, which in turn leads to more free damage.
You basically have to learn your opponents patterns, and use the focus accordingly.
Like anything though, you dont want to overdo it and get precdictable.
It has other uses. Some people use it offensively as a pressure tool. But this can get dangerous.
Finally, In the generic beginner guides on SRK. Look at the term FADC. That particular use of the focus leads to what can only be described as "THE DAMAGER" for most characters.
In a nutshell, FADC is doing a special and then cancelling into the focus attack. Often you will then see players cancelling FROM the focus attack BEFORE it hits, into a dash, and then juggling with something else. (ie. ultra)
The first use i gave you, and the FADC are what most players use the focus for. Just remember its not a 'free counter' button. And it is NOT like a 3s parry.
On a totally different note:
After 2 solid hours in training mode, JUST doing RSF.
1)My hand is really fucking sore
2)My new RSF record is 11. Up from 8. :D
If i can start getting mroe than 3 at yifans ill be set >_>

...
thanks for the info bill, i think i will leave FA cancelling till i am a bit better at the game since im pretty noob right now but its good to know its there and how people are using it.
At the moment im just experimenting with focus attacks seeing what works and what doesnt, a lot of the time when i try to use it defensively they just break through with multi hits anyway so i have to be more careful to only use if if i know they will be doing a 1 hit move.
I just played though arcade medium with Sagat, hes a machine i can see why he is one of the top rated characters in the game. Deals so much damage, and he can take quite a bit too. I beat seth in one try with Sagat, 2-0 victory (but admittedly, now that ive played through with Ryu and Ken I know how seth operates so it wasn't all just because of using Sagat). Probably a bit of luck there too.
Hey did you guys see this about a possible 10new chars in SF4:Dash?

Hmmmm interesting all the same.
I'd like some more new characters. I might play them all that much but I really like their designs. The rumor sez:
* From Street Fighter 2: Dee Jay and T. Hawk.
* From Street Fighter 3: Dudley, Ibuki and Makoto.
* From Street Fighter Alpha: Adon, Cody and Guy.
* Plus two completely new characters.
I've never been an Adon or T Hawk fan but the rest look like good characters to add. But Dudley vs Rog has gotta happen! ;D
They all sound stupid except for the 2 new chars...

QFT. Sounds like someone is trolling on SRK.
Ok my requests:
SF 4 Dash:
Release it in the arcades FIRST
Have it as a patch for existing machines.
Most importantly:
Have the patch allow two players on one cab. Essentially doubling the machines overseas! The whole system link thing stopped alot of western arcades from getting it.
That would also mean arcade chains with the game now can share it around their respective branches.
I don't really like SF4: Dash.
It makes it sound like World Heroes or something and implies the game is actually fast paced.
I only have one request for SFIV'
Rolento (I know ONO wanted him in)
So I've got another character to play besides Viper who's actually fun to play with.
I'd like to see Hugo or Alex in the Street Fighter IV series. And a better online play system...

I just think it sounds queer as, sounds like a girls SF game aye, or a gay clothing line.
As I'm sure you all know, SF2 Champion Edition in Japan was known as SF2' (aka sf2 dash). This is why they are currently calling it sf4 dash, as a homage.
My requests for Dash on the console would be
Better Netcode
An actual lobby
Also i'd like to see removal 1 frame links - load of rubbish imo.
I'd prefer games focused more on the tactical rather than spending years in a training room learning execution.

The motion is like this bro
charge db > F > B+PP > F+PPPYou wanna kara the last bit of the motion so hold down PP then move to foward and press the other punch well your still holding the two punch buttons
charge db > F > B > F+PP~P works as well
Make sure you are canceling just a bit before the fireball hits.

Ohh yeah, shot bro.
It's slightly easier if you go
Charge B, F, B + 3P, F + 3P
since the input system is so lenient, you can do rush punches by "pre-charging" the back command... it's really helpful for doing sonic booms, as you get a little bit of back charge before the boom even comes out

Hey anyone see how the tiers changed
http://www.eventhubs.com/guides/2008/oct/17/street-fighter-4-tiers-character-rankings/
Ryu's 4th now woo hoo, Balrogs 2nd now (poor Ben), Gief went way down, it's about time.
And what about this tier list, with Akuma up there with Sagat.
http://www.iplaywinner.com/streetfighter4#characters
Seth is up there with the beast Zangief and Ryu.
Ryu/Rufus/Rog are all 2nd according to that.
And i like seeing fuerte down there at the bottom for some reason. Makes me feel justified for being terribad.
I disagree with A LOT of the matchups listed on there though.

nah thats what i mean i havn't played anyones akuma from hear, apart from punch's i think.

Nice one Mason, now you have to beat Brodsta , Hue's the only one i know thats gone 50/50 with his bullshit dictator.
And I been playing alot of Akuma lately aswell, he's awesome as to play with but have alot of trouble against boxers, and sometimes dictators are hard to beat with him too. Might just be me though, i duno.
I can quite accurately say that I have NEVER lost a match against Brodsta!

I beat Hue's Ryu and Sagat yesterday with Akuma! He must be top tier. I beat sagat, then he went ryu and beat me then I beat him again. Not like he plays too much anymore though.
And you've never lost to Daigo or Jwong. International #1 imo

Quote from: TsukamotoWell for me, when Sakura was added to the game, I was thinking, um, there's the Flower Kick, right? Her bloomers have to be visible when she does that move, but at first her skirt didn't flare up like it should. In Alpha, I think the name really fits the move, cause you're kinda fixated on it, thinking, "Open up more, just a little more!"... Or is that just me?
Wow... thats creepy :-\

I guess my secret hope that they ditch Ultras is not going to happen :D
(look at the lovely camera angles)
I suppose I can hope that they one day stop using the revenge guage to fuel them.
Why do you want ultras removed?
yeah ultras are awesome , especially kens one 8)

Why do you want ultras removed?
yeah they look cool, but I think they do way to much damage & I hate how they are fueled by the revenge gauge. I don't really like supers either.
Yeah I know its weird since I love that stuff in Blazblue (though I like BB's meter system better), but I prefer my SF to be pure like HF :)
.......So then just play HF on ggpo?
its all part of the game, I don't see why you hate it though as you can still easily win wihtout teh Supper/Ultra gauge if you think they do THAT much of a difference...
Its how you play that really matters and the gauge is there to help you out in certain sticky situations in which I think is kinda neat for come backs :D
yeah, I could understand if you were good enough to waste people without the ultra but...
I think the meter system is a little flawed in sf4. Supers end up being pretty rare. Its not BAD, but it could be better.
Dont mind the revenge gauge though.
But isn't that only cause we spend all our meter on EX and FADC? I mean I think meter builds far too fast and supers don't to enough to outweigh something as versatile as a dragon FADC ultra or ex fireball => ultra
so in the end it depends on how you use it and in what situation.
I like wen fings go ASPLODE!

ok maybe hate is to strong a word, i'd just prefer the emphasis was taken away from Super/ Ultras.
Making a comeback without them is far more impressive in my view.
Also building meter with whiffs is a bit weird.
Hey I like SF4 don't get me wrong, but like everyone i'm always thinking how it could be made better (to me).
Fuck it's 7:30 am, i've been trying to suss out my Gen combos all night long, still suck like shit, dont know what gibos on about in his tutorial vid.

The Sagat whiffed his Ultra but he thought he won, so while he was jumping up and down the Viper jumped back to his controller and finished it properly.

quote from some SRK dude-
I was playing at the arcade one day.
And this guy picked Sagat to my dismay.
I knocked him down and when he started to rise.
I crossed him up and suddenly to my surprise...
He did the mash
He did the monster mash
The monster mash
It was a graveyard smash
He did the mash
It caught on in a flash
He did the mash
He did the monster mash
Made me lol'd so bad, it will prob wear off once my buzz wears off.

I've seen a IC card system for SF4 in Japan like the Tekken 6 Machines here.
Will NZ be getting a IC card system for SF4 at the arcades anytime?

No. The US doesnt have it either iirc. I think that system is exclusively for Japan as far as SF4 goes.
Fucking yifans. RSLowForward is a little bit easier to DO at yifans than it is at home, but its MUCH MUCH harder to actually stop accurately. >_> Unfortunately thats the important part, given that it leads to either a) safety, or b) more mixups.
Its a damn useful tool for fuerte to have though, so im going to have to try and get used to it. Its pissing me off though, because its throwing off my RSF timing. >_< Im back down to my 3 average at yifans. :(
I'd even go as far as saying Fuerte is a technically harder character to be proficient with than Viper... IMO, of course
Quote from: electric on November 23, 2009, 12:54:56 PM

Depends how you look at it.
Going from 0% to 100% effectiveness with fuerte is the same amount of work as going from 0% to 100% effectiveness with viper i reckon. ie. They take a similar amount of time & effort to master all their shit.
I think Viper is the easier of the two to get into, but the harder of the two to ultimately master. I think the fact that shes easier when starting out throws the gauge off a bit imo.
Look at it this way, a scrub can pick up viper and mash out c.mk -> thunder knuckle, and score some damage off of it. The same scrub can pick up fuerte and mash out c.mk -> ...run? At the other end of the scale, a pro viper can c.mk -> OMGWTFMIXUPSHENANIGANS, and a pro fuerte can c.mk -> OMGWTFMIXUPSHENANIGANS. Not exactly a concrete example, but it gets my point across. Fuerte starts harder, but grows faster. The two END UP with a similar amount of required skill & effort to be proficient.
They both have crazy technical shit that only GODS AMONG MEN would attempt to master, so i have equal props to those that play both.
Viper/Fuerte/Gen are probably the hardest to learn. I wouldnt put them in any kind of easiest to hardest order, because they all grow and develop in different ways. Some people will be more comfortable with one, others will not. Playstyle baby, thats what its all about.
Ok, so apparently i cant give a simple opinion without typing a fuckoff long epic post. Dammit.

If there's one thing I wish the would do for SSF4, it's that they'd change the FUCK out of Fuertes English voice actor. That shit will make you get stabby
Yeah, for a newer player Viper has a whole lot of obvious solid options. Moreso than Fuerte and Gen anyway.

I got a few. Viper's got a good English voice. As does Rufus. But yeah had to change Fuerte's as he sounds a bit like a hyper active, grouchy rooster.

I thought it was a weird coincidence, but then erytime i dizzied, it would happen. Then I clicked. Lagswitch power. I bet tamer187 came up with it when dabbling in a few RQ scenarios, lol.

Hi guys,
I'm a newbie here and have some questions to ask. Hope you don't mind to answer. :p
I have been playing SF4 on my ps3 since it's released and most of the time have lag problem when I play online. Does any of you encounter the same problem? Is it a common problem or is it just because my connection is shit?
and...is there any SF4 tournament held in NZ near in the future??
Thank you very much.

It's definitely a common problem. Unless you are getting 4 bars, it's going to feel a little laggy... sometimes 3 bars is ok, but it's a bit of a mixed bag. There's a PS3 match making thread here: http://nzism.alphaism.com/forum/index.php/topic,523.0.html
Chances are, you'll have better connections with most of us here
Quote from: Devilleto on January 12, 2010, 03:55:02 PMand...is there any SF4 tournament held in NZ near in the future??
Any tournaments will be announced in the Tournament Announcement thread here: http://nzism.alphaism.com/forum/index.php/board,9.0.html
Keep your eyes peeled!
Hope that helps :)
Hi & welcome to the site (feel free to post in the forum corresponding to your region so other people around you know!).
While PS3 has been known to be worse than xbl for sf4 online, many people have very reasonable games with 4-bar connections to other people in NZ, so it's possible that it could be something to do with your internet connection or even possibly the wiring in your area?
As for the SF4 tournament, the nearest one would be the bar fights which is scheduled for somewhere in March or April, although it's entirely possible we'll put on a general training session/get together some time before that. There is also likely to be a Tekken 6 and a 'triathlon' featuring older street fighter games in Feb. These pretty much exclusively occur in Auckland, so hopefully you're somewhere around the top of the north island :)
Hope that helps!
Welcome to the community fulla! ;D
Hope to spot you at up coming tournaments!...
Hadouken!
Thanks for replying guys.
I guess it's my connection problem coz it never reaches 3 bars. >.<
I'm using shared internet connection. It's fast for downloading and others but perhaps not for online gaming. Gotta get my own connection then.
Will the tournament be held in Auckland???
You gotta play peeps from NZ or Aus though aye. Not just any random dude.
And yeah most the tournaments , actually all of them are in Auckland. Where are you from bro? and welcome to the community.

Have you seen this thread? :
http://nzism.alphaism.com/forum/index.php/topic,523.0.html
It has 99% NZ players on there. I'd assume most would be from Auckland. Good luck!
I'm from Dunedin. :)
I hope I can move to Auckland anytime soon. lol
Thanks for the link.. I will try to add some of them.
Yea, the lag isnt too bad if youre playing NZ/Aus people, but if youre playing ranked matches or championship matches online, then its laggy most of the time anyway.
Hopefully Super will fix this lag problems....I wana play those whingy Americans again like I used to with HD...they take it so seriously....I love to hear them squeal..haha
I dont know what it is about some of the Americans online eh? I get pretty mad, but fucking hell, youd think winning at street fighter was life and death for those cunts.

Dude totally, Budafist had hate messages when we were playing HD....fuck they were funny....we used to play it over and over and piss ourselves laughing...
One dude had his mic on the whole time and would just deep breath and swear....LOL!
hate mail is the best i used to try my best just to get hate mail somedays
especially in marvel
HDr was also good
SF4 only got a select few
I had someone send me a message saying "using a programmable stick is fucking cheap you scrub" because I kept punishing his fail dragon attempts with Zangief SPD. He told me I couldn't do SPD from standing without a tick first and that was his proof that I had a programmable stick.
I sent him back a pic of my rugged over 10yr old Namco stick I was using at the time and he tried to tell me the pic wasn't mine and i got it off google haha. Some people just can't face the fact that someone is better than them ;D
The online community for 4 seem to be much cooler...you tend just to get "GG" messages....
Would be sweet to keep the hate mail and remix it wif some D'N'B and send it back to the fuckers... ;D
Start playing Seth, you'll get hate mail.
I will admit that playing some people at ST on GGPO makes me really wonder if they are using macros or something. Some of the shit the zangief and thawk people do just seems inhuman.
Bro i while back when i played on championship mode, i played this USA dude with a mic. I was Dictator and he was Gief. First he goes, ''oh fuck, not a top tier bison''(this was when Gief was 3rd after Ryu), then he's like '' this is Giefs worst fucking matchup'' when it's the other way around. Then i done ONE DR, and he's like '' ohh here we go, he's just gonna spam this the whole fucking time''. So i did lol, and as he was getting raped by it cos he was a lariot spaming scrub, he was screaming and yelling all sorts of profanities, while i was pissing myself laughing over here. Probably the funniest game i ever had.
It was like playing a raging flowchart Ken with a mic. That was totally misinformed about the tier rating in this game, as well as match ups.
And yeah jb F into the corner wj d mk out, will destroy scrubs and make them rage. Happened to me when i was scrub lol.

i also wonder this the amount of times i got thrown out of boxers tick throw loop i can understand once or twice but consistantly
and weezy what did that last line opf your post even say?
LOL, soz i got lazy.
What i meant was, jump back Fierce yourself to the corner, then wall jump down mk out. It makes teh scrubs rage all over. I was one of them.
Americans<All in every game. I've heard of americans that cry when people hit them after they've lost the round... And I won't get started on those guitar hero losers.
what is there to complain about in ghero?
Apparently their guitar is always broken when they're losing. When you beat them in a close game, before you send gg, they call you a noob and say they are better. If you are winning and they ragequit just before a song ends (cause in their bio they advertise a 200 and something win streak and losing will break it lol) they will tell you they don't actually care about this game. Or I don't play this anymore or whatever. Then they go and play that same song for the next 10 hours...

Actually this is one glitch I would like to see them leave in the game.

MASH MORE JABS!!!
But seriously though, cr.lp puts you at +4 on block - you probably just have to tighten up your timing a little bit on your ticks if you're getting spam jabbed out of them. If you can get in there and make them FEAR the tick throw, they'll start teching them, which you can obviously beat with staggered jabs since you have a pretty beast frame advantage after a blocked jab.

To be honest, my weakness is the absolute basics. And i figure my best options here were to learn either boxer or ryu. and im NOT gonna learn ryu.
Just do the headbutt into ultra
I should. But i prefer doing the EX punch upper loop for no reason.

I'll teach you Viper Bill. Serious. Jump on tonight and we'll begin.
Your execution is such that you'll be really decent with her I feel. she has so little footsies it doesn't even matter if you have em down or not.
cool?
Haha I was joking about headbutt to Ultra. It's often not the best thing to do.
If guys are spamming jabs then you can counter hit them with c.mp xx jab straight. Say your jab jab is blocked you walk a lil back and do c.mp xx jab straight. This will beat throw tech attempts, throws and jab mashers. No need to throw them when they give you shit like that for free.
You might be underestimating how easy the 'basic' shit is. Stuff like footsies and zoning will take you longer to learn than just about any combo or complicated reset. I would probably start with zoning as boxers zoning is very simple. You can either zone with jab straight at the right range or get in closer at about sweep range and use you c.rh(for people trying to walk/dash into you) and s.rh(for people trying to jump, fireball and other shit). C.hp is almost always the anti air you wanna use.

Ill take you up on that at some point. Ive jumped into training mode a few times with her to see if i can do shit like FFF. I can, but like, 4-5 times out of 10. Not tonight though, got dinner with the missus and a few of her friends.
Im still gonna learn boxer though. I really think that making a conscious effor to get better with footsies/zoning etc will not only improve my SF4 game, but also my alpha and ST games as well. PLUS im looking forward to using deejay/adon in super, both of which are gonna be all about the footsies by the looks of it.
And Ben, im not saying the basic shit is easy. For me its a hell of a lot harder to learn that shit than it is to learn a combo. I called it basic, when the word i shouldve used was fundamental. Christ knows i can jump into street fighter and pull out whatever retarded 'complex' combo you want me to, but i have a much harder time getting the fundamental shit down.
Marvel has ruined me in that regard. And i was the same with KOFXI. I want to get all up in your face, and then beast all over it. Im only JUST starting to slow down and put a bit more thought in. And my street fighter game has improved leaps and bounds because of it.
Man i think i'm really getting sick of this game now ay. I can only play up to 20 and then i'm just jumping around air tatsuing, and other crazy lol shit. Thats what happens when you play all day everyday i guess.
It's kinda like i'm forcing myself to play it after 20 games or so. And when i go back to T6 it makes my sf4 game shit, then i have to get use to it again.
Ah well, i'm gonna play it some more anyway.

Oh go on.....Ryu's like awesome.... ;D
Seriously tho Bill, jump back onto SF2 and practise zoning and footies....there are no cool combos to do, no ex meters or ultras...it's pure fundamentals....I have to say I rely on those all the time...if I have time to do flashy stuff I do...otherwise it's back to those....pre-empt jump in, zone, timing for air attacks...and most importantly patience -I'm still learning this one too :D
Yea hardout. Thats why im learning ST. Yes its got combos and supers and shit, but its more based on all that stuff.
FUCK THAT JUST LEARN MARVEL :P

Youre not going to get the ROM timing straight away. Especially with no prior marvel experience.
Trust Marvel to jack a SF4 topic. (in a good way)
marvel wins handsdown
if u really wanna play a 1 on 1 sf....hyper fighting...anydayz 8)
If you're trying on the PS3/360 version, don't even bother with the ROM inf.
im still trying to learn how to bug the shit outta people with normals in 3S.

is it just me, or does kof have no footsies? its all about the smalljump/hyper hops whatever there. then again, its not like we were pro with that shit at all. they took away kof xi before we could get there >:(
There are no footsies in KOF just looking for openings and the RUSHDOWN!
Just like how parrying completely changed footsies in 3S becasue you had to worry about peopple baiting you into a free parry -> counter hit. The multiple different kinds of jumpin and being able to roll back and forward in KOF kind of emilminated footsies.
Most people that have always played Street Fighter/Capcom fighters seem to have a hard time picking up KOF, I think it's because on the surface it seems familiar but when you start playing the only advantage you have is probably execution. The rest you need to relearn.
The KOF tutorial vids Alan posted a while back were awesome!
I really want to play KOFXI now.
does guiles upsidedown kick go over boxers cr.jab?
i hate boxers crouching jab, so so SO MUCH

we can thrash it at the next jam session or something :D
i know bill would be down
Haha. I'll practice my pro Vanessa mixups.
I dunno if this was already up or not...but peep it...sick combos!!!
On a slightly different note, given that there is only one guile combo in that vid. Why the hell does a character like guile, who has a terrible offensive game, have such awesome combo potential?
meh, they were all preatty average except for maybe the chun one at the end.
A few of them Ive done in matches.
What im talking about is some of the shit in this (OLLLLLDD) vid
Starts out slow, but gets better. As you all probably know, because youve all probably seen it.
Yeah I think thats the old skool Guile fulla...he's fucking off the hook.....
I hope (wish, pray :-\) that Guile isn't such a chump in SSF4....he was the fucking man in SF2....can I get "hell yeah" for an S-Tier Guile beast in SSF4? :D
Yeah that vid is old but still elite.
Yeah i hope Guile is really good in SSF4 too, I really like Army guys. I want to join the Army later.
Dont get me wrong i like Muah thai too, me and and all my friends get drunk and condition ourselves.
Thats why Bryan is the best char ever, Muah Thai and Army. Bruce has a Army suit too aye? Thats it i'm siding Bruce right now!!
Stopped watching after the 2nd SB.
I thought it was gonna be the other pc hack. The one where Guiles got insane juggle properties.
Holy shit, that is faster than ST Guile.
Guile on full lock down, block stun sonic boom in the corner. Damn :-X
fuck thats abit...over the top
that cant be right tho, cos how does he do standing jab into flashkick?wtf ??? ???
probably gonna be fixd wen released, but lol at sonic boom wars

You can do a standing move into a charge down-up move if you do a circular motion from down to back to up and cancel the moves into each other.
I know because Chun can do the same thing with her standing close hard kick into EX sbk
Yeah, you just go charge d,b+lp,u+hk
But this guy pc hacked, so every move is one button. PC is rude like that, hacking the files is gay but the skins are badd.
u can do the standing light kick into flashkick since SF2... or even teh standing light punch. And yes its just as skullator says.
The old school hardout SF2 guile combo was j.FP, s.FP, flash kick.
Doesn't require you to do a half circle from down back to up, can just go charge down, neutral+FP, up+FK, just gotta have good timing.
Of course in 2 revisions of world warrior it commonly reset the machine, so whatever.

I found it out by accident using Boxer.

hmm... you could be right actually... I know they used to use programmabl;e sticks back in the day... guess itd be easier to just use macros on the pc version though.
'tool' just refers to anything that isn't standard equipment really, including save states, macros etc.

Some dude called luffy086 came third using Rose! Fucking sweet.....no Sagats in sight either...
So if I read that right, Daigo got out Ryu'd
and lost to Rose (Luffy) earlier
though got revenge in the 2vs2
Very cool, nice to see some variation.
The Luffy vs Daigo vid (in teams) is pretty cool.

^ Wow that was discovered quick
Combo's on wake after throw =\? Here's to the quick patch before it's official release date lol.
Edit: Oh wait this is the vanilla topic! lol my bad, makes it even more crazy tho.
it might be the original sf4 thread but do you think capcom have picked this up during testing in SSF4? :p
Haha probably not, but maybe some slight tweaks accidentally broke them.
In any case super is patchable so all good.
Confirmed Jacksmash's Sagat is furiously practicing this in training mode now hahaha.
Just tried learning this for about 20mins. TBH i don't see anyone using this in a real game (unless they had nothing to lose), purely because its extremely hard to pull off.
Hahaha f*** that shit. Lucky this was found so late in the games life.

I dunno doesnt look that bad tbh for acouple of them. In past street Fighter games people have learned passed loads of thinggs off as too difficult, only to find that people have mastered it and started using it alot in game.
It wasn't unusual for a people to practice a particular technique for weeks or months in an effort to assimilate it into their game. I even remember sitting there for ages practicing to do shit like this in alot of games.
I got the Rose one to hit around 1 in 10 times. I like those odds ;)
I love the look on the victim's face "WTF?! Unblockable?!"
wow this is retarded .
kens is too stupidly easy to do .....
ken can also do lowforward xx ex.fireball / full ultra but this setup shown is way easier as the timing is no where as strict and with the ex fireball one , you have to be in just the right place where you low forward to give you the right spacing for the ultra to hit .
ah well if its there guess i should use it , give it a whirl on friday night
Meh, escapable... roughly as bad as sentinel unblockable imo, probably less problematic even.
True, but whether they are escapable or not probably depends on the char you are playing though.
Shape and move sets.

yeah I used to do similar things in FPS games, practise retarded trick jumps for hours and hours (god being at high school was easy, so much free time) just to get that extra advantage. No doubt some of you guys will have this down pat in you game before super comes out.
Yeah I found ken's pretty easy. I could do sagats 1 in like 5, but if you know the escape it's kinda pointless. Keen to try out some ken vs sagat though. You have 500hp and no meter? Well I'll kara throw and gg!
Given how late this was found, these are probably going to be around in SSF4.
And yea, Ken's and Seth's are pretty easy. Rose's wasnt TOO bad. Sagat im probably about 1/8 atm. Doesnt take long to get the hang of though.

I don't know if this is the right place to ask, but i don't gotta PS3 atm probly within the next couple weeks il grab one. anyways im having trouble pulling off C.Vipers no.22 trial combo on super its....
J.HK
S.LK
S.LP
HIGH JUMP
ULTRA 1
Im having trouble landing the ultra it looks like its going to hit but then Dan blocks it lol. You got any tips Hydro or any other Viper players on how to make this easy. For high jump into ultra im currently doing qcf qcf u/f + PPP am i doing it right? Chur
Pretty much. From what I remember you need to do something like qcf, d+lp, df, f, uf+PPP though.
Yup - sounds like you're doing it right... it needs to be done reasonably fast, so that the first down input (d, df, f, d, df, f, uf) counts as part of the super jump. I found it easiest to try do cr.mp, high jump, ultra 1 to learn the timing and what it should look like, then take it from there :)
shot flux n electric thanks helped me out ALOT lol, i just got it done ;D. I thought the super jump cancel thing was impossible lol thanks thanks thanks
I was practicing some viper tricks the other day and I found for c.mp to U1 it was best to go c.mp, qcf, u (tiger knee), qcf+3p. But I'm not exactly the viper expert lol.
