thanks for the tips fellaz, helps alot, i main balrog, but im not sure he's the right character for me, im more of a charging/in your face type of player or in other words "impatient" lol

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!)

Well since someone deleted my list of Street Fighter IV Playstation Network Players here is the list as it stood before it vanished. So much for trying to grow the community.

I don't what you're talking about 'growing the community'? Sounded a little too bitter my bro.  

Go check the playstation sub-forum - your list is there.

I guess I should have posted a redirection topic, I tend not to like those  though (bit too much clutter).

Anyway yeah, PSN stuff goes in PSN forum.

I heard there was a Street Fighter IV tournament coming up this year. Any news on that?

[fluxcore]

August 15th is the date for our national SFIV tourney, it was announced at the training session. There hasn't been a proper web press release yet, waiting on some promo material.

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. This is the combo I was trying:

jump in mk, cr.lp close standing lp, cr.mk, cancel into psycho crusher or hk scissor kicks

thanks

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.

[[8-----D] Toots]

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.
