Street Fighter 4

[stereomonkey]

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...

*Looks at stu' sig*

So THATS how were playing now eh?

[stereomonkey]

I just remembered it last night and thought I should put it as my sig

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.

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.

Oh good one, you just made it even harder lol, nah i get the standing one more often aye.

[[NIUE] weazzyefff]

That combo isn't hard, b+mk, hcb + punch? No harder than an SNK super motion...

Nah after the air teleport failing consistently, i'll eventually get in and be too exited that i just fuck it up, easy in practice mode. I play a rushdown sim lol, in other words a rats Sim.

[[NIUE] weazzyefff]

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

Yeah that is ultra super fucked up aye, i hate that shit, i even saw Daigo do it once.

[Barnstorm]

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

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.

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

[HoneyBadger]

That 3 move thing is a little unfair, no? I mean, eventually he'd be in a corner...

[fluxcore]

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.

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 see your problem. You've been playing against people that play like shit.

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.

[fluxcore]

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.

[geneterror]

Mmmmm K Groove.

That's it I'm organising a CvS2 night at my place soon.
