Lol, game locked up for me at the char select screen. Have to actually turn off the machine to do anything.

edit - nice got hit with the disconnect lol. Anyway uploaded a match, I have no idea what the YT account is that it uploads to.

And for those of you in Italy, Capcom (after discussion with us) has taken the decision to hold back the publish of SF III for you guys, which should only be for short time

So who's annoying and fast?

No real troll characters. More like troll setups.

But if you had to pinpoint one, it would be Gill. Lots of damage, stuns fast, moves fast, normals that paralyze you, and that whole resurrection thing. Degen knows all about Gill. :p

But yeah. I was doing a lot of trolling last night.

Example. http://www.justin.tv/kadeybaybe/b/293363561

Annoying and fast IMO:

Yun
Yang
Makoto
Ibuki
Akuma
Ken
Chun Li

Couple of updates from Tizoc regarding Yang and performing OTG super art on Dudley:

YANG
SA III: Sei'ei Enbu: 1 stock, 1 EX move. The super is used against Hugo and Urien primarly since they can let Yang do unblockable hits on them (due to their big sprites).

Recommended super: SA2 due to Yang's EX Mantis Slashes being his main offensive tool. You could use SA3, but SA2 offers the most damage output.
Click to expand...

Landing an OTG Uppercut super on Dudley works as follows- LP+LK (NO DIRECTION HELD)-->Uppercut super. One of Ryu's trials involves this, and some seem to be stumped about it. Note that this works for the other shotos as well (including Sean).

Haven't played any fighter seriously except SSF4. And I believe this is way harder than SSF4 :(

So, is this game going to kill SSFIV AE's community for a while? I'm probably not getting this game until it goes on sale. (I'm trying to clear out a backlog game before Gears3 drops.)

Jesus, there are so many Ryus in ranked... Though match-making is kinda ass for me right now. I was wondering about the colour of the nat logo people have. Mine's yellowish-green for some reason and I'm not sure what that means.

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
Can you change the damage level?

Definitely not! SF4 has a very strong community.

Now is a good time to start and get some games in with a varied range of player skill, plus supporting this now will make it easier for Capcom to green-light more Online Editions, you do want Darkstalkers, Alpha 2/3, Cvs2 and *JoJo? :p

Not at all, very different game really. The SF 3 vs 4 thread showed the fanbase is pretty well decided on what they like. You might see a slight dip in player base, but given that 4 is so popular anyway, it won't be an issue.

Downloaded this morning and ready to go when I get home.

Add GAF 3S metatag you XBL players! (Going to be saying this a lot today, sorry in advance!)

You can't turn scanlines on in the 360 demo?

You can't turn it on the fly like the PS3 demo.
This can only be adjusted in the main menu.
Also is it just me or did they confuse crisp & smooth in the filter settings?

So before I dip on 360 I would like some impressions from GAF if anything is better/worse than the PS3 version from yesterday.

Are the super bars lengths distorted on 360 as well?
How's the online?

I. Suck. At. This. Game.

Played around for about 2-3 hours last night doing trials and playing the computer (because I couldn't get online matches consistently). I couldn't even get past the 5th or 6th match in Arcade mode. The only way that I almost won my only online match was because I was able to connect with Hugo's Gigas breaker (Thank you to everyone for the buffering during a jump tips). That alone made me happy, as I most definately flexed (and then ate a combo) after doing it.

Who wants to teach me how to play? I also found out last night that I suck equally with Hugo, Dudley, Q, Oro, and Ibuki. Them trials are hard man!

It's the opposite actually. Most top players have moved on from 3rd Strike ages ago. People still play it here and there for kicks.

AE community is amped up because of the 2012 changes being revealed yesterday. Equal amounts of smiles and tears depending on which characters they use.
The community is at it's peak thanks to EVO.

3rd Strike is a different game in it's own right. I prefer SFIV but it's not like I'm not having fun with 3rd strike either. Nobody really played it in my circle of friends so it's the the first time I'm really getting into it. One thing I really do love about it over SFIV is the lack of shortcuts and harder reversals.

Trials are meant to teach you the system of the game and execution. Most of what you see aren't meant for real time play.

Keep playing human opponents and focus on fundamentals and get the feel of situations and how to react.

Just played the trial with the 360 controller, and good lord do I need an arcade stick. I can't even begin to parry with any sort of precision. What's the best arcade stick to get for less than $100?

Well there's your problem... It's Pringles or bust. :)

But yeah, I can say the same. My SF3 play was abysmal even back in the Dreamcast days. I remember basically getting my ass handed to me repeatedly by players like Reno and Leguna (not sure if either of 'em still lurk here). I don't think I even won a round in the 10 or 15 matches I played against 'em. It was pretty bad.

Said it before, butt he only advice I can give is to watch the tutorial vids in the OP, lots of great stuff there, and read up on a particular character you're learning, what works in what situations, etc. And practice practice practice!

If you are new to the game then forget about combos and stuff for now, learn the movement and throw game. Learn how to use your normals. Pick a shoto and solidify your fundamentals (I used Sean for this when I started).
