Is SFIV considered to be a balanced fighter with no really OP characters?

Watching the streams everyone plays different fighters so it would seem like no one fighter has a huge advantage over the others right?

There are a few trash characters, and a few strong characters, but most chars are playable outside of one or two bad matchups.

Even the trash chars can do well though.

USF4 is really well balanced but matchups play a huge role in tournaments.

 

[theprodigy]

Why did he not stick to Sheik?

Ultra is pretty well balanced overall, it's normal to see a large variety of characters being used, even among top players.

 

[commanderpepper]

That cross up from Lucky D was nuts.

 

[WhateverItTakes]

SRKEVo1 with RZR Gackt up, but it's halfway over.

SRKEvo3 if you're into Persona and good commentary (Dacidbro is awesome).

Cheers dude, I'll go persona, always like to fit some animu into my evo weekend

 

[Revven]

The odds of two Falco dittos in a row lol.

USFIV is undeniably one of the most balanced fighting games ever made. Even when just looking at minutia at the highest levels of play it's pretty damn good.

Think of it like a pokemon type chart. There isn't a one size fits all type but type vs type scenarios certainly one has an advantage.

Outside of some bullshit matchups it's pretty damn good where it is, IMO. Even the lowest tier characters shine in the right hands. (ex. Alucard's Hugo)

 

[Fidelis Hodie]

as a fellow falco main, it just makes my heart happy to see more of them popping up haha

 

[def sim]

Why did he not stick to Sheik?

Second guessing himself, played 3 different chars... man.

SFIV is well balanced imo, not in the way that EVERY character is viable, but that there is no characters too strong. It's more about the player than the character imo.

 

[Frankenstrat]

Anyone else getting some sound lag?

 

[J@hranimo]

Who does Tearbear use?

Also for my Capcom heads who are the "trash" characters in SFIV?

Of course there will always be a couple of really weak and really strong characters but I find the game really enjoyable to watch right now because of the variety of matchups you see.

Sim,Blanka and DJ. Especialy DJ.

Nano's Yukari with the download!

 

[Revven]

LOL MDZ is mad salty

 

[jett]

I bought the Ultra upgrade on Steam since it was cheap ($5). I hadn't played SF4 in ages. Is it me or is there input lag in the PC version? Or did SF4 just always feel this way? (i.e. clunky compared to 3S)

 

[BlackJace]

LOL RQ

 

[Line_HTX]

Gah, it's so difficult switching back and forth between Tekken and Persona...

The PC version is a great option to play on now.

 

[NotLiquid]

There is no lag. Are you using vsync? It makes it really laggy if i turn it on.

 

[El Sloth]

Wow, good shit, Nano! This is some good ass Yukari play

Coulda been that. Any way to play without that added vsync lag and without screen tearing?

 

[Geminosity]

Anyone else just get a trailer for a fighting game 'rising thunder'? I've literally never heard of it before

 

[Gucci Messiah]

I've never watched Persona before but this is pretty cool. No idea what's going on though.

 

[AmethystEnd]

Wow, good shit, Nano! This is some good ass Yukari play

Seriously, this is some godlike shit.

And Chris G just lost a round. Oh noes.

 

[J@hranimo]

Sim,Blanka and DJ. Especialy DJ.

Oh ok, I have a friend who used Deejay in Super SFIV. Thanks.

Captain Falcon

Oh damn. It happens to the best of us.

Also what was that? Rock 'em Sock 'em Robot Street Fighter? Lol!

 

[SmackAttack]

It's cool, I wasn't even really using it, I just kept it around for Rock Band. It was about the oldest OG 360 you can get (bought it in 2006, red-ringed and replaced once, no HDMI, 20GB HDD) so the thieves couldn't have gotten much out of it. Sadly my copy of Mahvel was inside it so they got that, but luckily they didn't get the case which has Filipino Champ's signature on it.

Got a mix of bad and good news. At least nothing else was taken.

 

[Tizoc]

Quick someone post a link that has all streams in one webpage, I'm preparing dinner and want to watch all streams at once on my HDTV @_@

 

[AmethystEnd]

OH MY GOD THE COMEBACK BY SHUNTO.

 

[NotLiquid]

YOOOOOO FOURWUDE

 

[Astarte]

Nano was so clooosseee

 

[DryEyeRelief]

History: Chris beat Jayce at Socal Prelude. He should also know this matchup well because of nuckledu. He forced infiltration to switch away from decapre at Norcal Regionals.

 

[El Sloth]

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh


fuck, that was soo close there at the end

 

[WhateverItTakes]

Sheeeit that finish. So tense. Mitsuru da waifu

 

[Geminosity]

Also what was that? Rock 'em Sock 'em Robot Street Fighter? Lol!
