Happened upon some New Generation and Giant Attack videos tonight, and once again I wish those stages were going to be DLC. They seem more animated and visually interesting than many of Third Strike's, what with Ibuki and Elena's monochromatic downgraded BGs and Alpha 1-esque palette swapped stages bullshit for nearly half the cast (Well, it's permissible for the twins I guess). This for the third and final iteration of the game? Baffling.

Only thing I don't miss (and indeed had forgotten about) were the sudden changes in times of day/location between rounds. Only Elena's stage had any transition I can remember, everything else was like "Well round two is hours later!" or "At some point you moved in doors!"

Went to play some today and found all my unlocks and vault points had vanished D:

WTF, now I have to start all over on unlocking Gill. With my lack of skill and the inability to adjust the settings of arcade mode, that really really sucks.

Anyone else have this happen?

 

[qcf x2]

Uploading seems to be working for the moment on XBL. Here's a few of mine:

Using Sean


Using Ibuki

Using Necro

Using Elena

 

[Domstercool]

Anyone had this happen to them?

[oracrest]

ggs last night and today, gaf. I am finally getting used to the stick, and can pull off the standing 360. The trials help out a lot with timing.

Is there something special you have to do to make a USB keyboard work? I have tried two, but the typing doesn't work.

No, you shouldn't have to do anything besides plugging them in. Providing it works with your PC of course.

honestly, bro?

Ive read the OP and all.. but could someone explain me charge partition to me? Sorry for being dumb.

Charge 3/4th's of a charge or so, dash then immediately return to charging position, complete the charge motion.

Doesn't work if you fully charge before dashing.

Spoiler

I've never gotten it to work at all

 

[LakeEarth]

My god the game is throwing brown/red connections at me left and right this morning.

 

[Rummy Bunnz]

I see people who are passed level 20 on the ranked bar and I'm thinking "how do you have the patience?"

Like 2-3 days after release I ran into a few guys around level 20. I checked the boards after each match and it wasn't like they had 95% win rates. They'd just played hundreds of games. I don't know how anyone could have such patience.

(Though I also play a lot and just read a book while waiting for matchmaking so I guess I'm not much different...)

Now that things have improved online a bit I'm running into tons of shotos. I miss fighting the freaks.

 

[RS4-]

It's pretty easy to hit a high level with a limited amount of games depending on who you use.

I didn't have a problem hitting level 16 or something within a week and a half or so because winning a round by killing with a taunt gives you 20 XP (wins give you 40) so you do you have the opportunity to double your XP gain; I didn't realize parrying a super completely also gives you 20 XP; had I known that, I would have stopped cross countering on the last or mid super.

 

[SolarKnight]

It's not that hard to level up honestly, considering you don't actually need to win for that.

I believe this is the same thing as in SF3's.

The trick is basically when you want to do a charge move instead of say for a Urien tackle which is hold back, then go forward + kick, you would quickly hit forward, and towards your way to back super fast you hit the kick, that way when the tackle comes out you are already charging your next move.

 

[SolarKnight]

That's not the same thing, SFIV doesn't have charge partitioning IIRC.

 

[Mikhal]

Yeah. That's charge buffering. This is a nice partitioning video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kh1iQGrtOe0

 

[zlatko]

That's not the same thing, SFIV doesn't have charge partitioning IIRC.

Edit: Oh wow they are indeed vastly different. I had no clue. I'll have to practice this a lot to get it down.

 

[Cloudius12]

Charge partitioning is breaking up the charge time in little parts.

 

[Fersis]

Yeah. That's charge buffering. This is a nice partitioning video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kh1iQGrtOe0

Thanks buddy.

Looks like its something you need to practice a lot.

 

[zlatko]

Charge partitioning is breaking up the charge time in little parts.

Can this be transferred to SF4? I'm not sure if its present there or which character would use it.

 

[Toonami 99]

I am amazed how much every one loves to back themselves up to the corner. Its the worst place you want to be and gives your opponent multiple zoning and mix up options.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Charge Partitioning does not exist in SF4

 

[cj_iwakura]

Anyone for PS3 matches? cj_iwakura here.

 

[zlatko]

Okay cool.

@Toonami 99

<_< I don't know about backing up, but some of the character in this game can put you in the corner from one touch. Yun can lunge punch and boom you're there. Urien with a tackle tackle Aegis combo = you are in corner. It can be quite the pain in the ass to not get yourself put in the corner when trying to play footsies in this game.

So is this shit never coming to Amazon, I really don't want to put my CC on PSN or spend $20 on PSN money just to use $15!

 

[Ferrio]

So is this shit never coming to Amazon, I really don't want to put my CC on PSN or spend $20 on PSN money just to use $15!

Why not? Cause of the prior shit that happened? I think after all the shit that happened they have it locked down pretty good, because if it happened again it'd destroy them.

 

[zlatko]

You could try using the GAF buy sell trade thread to paypal someone the 20 bucks and them give you the PSN code card, then use the card to buy it off psn.

I'm pumped to see him in action online. Should be interesting.

Anyone here got any tips on tackle tackle headbutt with Urien by the way? I spent a good hour + trying to get it down, but out of like hundreds of attempts maybe 5-10 of them got me two medium tackles to connect on Ken in training.

I checked some online tutorials and videos, and I know it's just buffering, and that the headbutt when you get to it will be partitioned so you can just hit up + MP for it to come out, which even the times I whiffed tackle tackle, I could still get the headbutt too to whiff, so I know it would hit IF I could get the two tackles to connect.

I want to master this BnB, before I move on to cracking the nut that is partitioning anywhere on screen.

For the record I do cr Fierce, while that is going on I'm holding down back, when they are popped up into the air I'll do forward, and then do downback + Mk. The tackle will come out, and now as I'm holding down back for this new tackle, I go for forward + MK, but I'll usually either get a standing MK or a head butt that is way too late. I can get head butt into ex headbutt since you can do ex so late and it picks them up.

Thoughts ?

tackle > tackle is really hard to do if not impossible as times. The best bnb you should do is cr. HP > MK tackle > EX Tackle > Tackle > HP

I gotta learn it though. It's like playing with one hand behind your back if you don't with Urien. Watching Gootecks' urien right now he hits it no problem. It must be a lot of practice and getting that sweet timing then ?

Edit: Gootecks was cool enough to answer my question about it on stream. He said he does mk tackle then lk tackle because it's easier than mk mk which does a little more damage, but is a lot hard to pull off.

 

[StickyFingers]

Get this ggpo shit out of mine SF3, capcom and put backbone on it. That'll fix the rank matchmaking system. That way, I can get my last achievement.

Is there a way, in the final game, to remove the ugly borders I see in the demo? I'd just like a black border around the 4:3 screen...

My friend Rens decided to ink the Makoto piece, he did a badass job!

I'll get to colors sometime soon, Skullgirls work has been kicking my ass.

A badass job indeed

Take as much time as you need with the coloring.

I played 2nd Impact again recently and like the presentation so much better than 3rd strike. A big step back in a lot of ways despite 3rd Strike being the definitive gameplay. I actually like 2nd Impact as a whole better.

Any idea what program he used to ink that?

Sketchbook Pro + Cintiq, the guy has always been an absolute freak about clean lineart though, so if he had used Photoshop and a tablet it would be comparable.
