They're also not separated as far from each other which helps a ton.

Besides the mundane constant rekkas from Rolento he is really damn fun with his movement. Might need to pick him up but I use to suck with him back in the alpha days.
I want to see CrossCounter Asia play some sfxt.
Yea, I originally wanted to main him, but he's really easy to use. I'm still playing him here and there though.

The amount of damage the big boy can do on a single hit confirm is obscene. You really don't need anyone else. He's also extremely mobile. His charge lariat is probably the scariest thing in the game.

I love his expression on the victory quote screen, everything about him in this game is great.
Even though I'm regularly getting kicked from lobbies for winning with my secondary team I'm still too scared to go into ranked with them because they don't have Hugo's stupidly easy damage.

Decided to rent this game to see what all the hype was (wasnt a fan of SF4 and generally gravitate to Vs. style games) and I'm ... pleasantly surprised. Links don't seem to be AS difficult in this game and the fact that I can link into a chain style combo as a means to hitconfirm I thought was a really neat addition to this combo system.
Just playing with Yoshimitsu/Raven at the moment, and finished their trials last night, I thought they'd be a lot more technical than they actually ended up in terms of the execution department. I'm still VERY surprised that Capcom hasnt figured out a way to have a preview for the combo that you're supposed to be doing in trial mode. Its almost become standard for any other fighting game that isn't made by Capcom. As such the only trial that really had my head scratching with Raven was the one that involved a special charge dash cancel just because its NOT obvious by the way the combo is written. From a purely execution and not confusion point of view the only combo that I really had to like TRY with was Raven's 20th trial, had to relearn plinking to get the cr.LP to cr.HP link and the subsequent cr.MK juggle is pretty tight. Still a sick looking combo.

Yup, if I'm not using Guile, Hugo is a death sentence
Tiger Knee and Uppercut really mess up my play. I hate shoto scrubs who keep throwing this shit out, and with the sound issues it's so hard to punish that tiger knee.

So I am calling on Neo Gaf to help me out here.
I want to try this game out and am planning on buying it. Only question is which version. It wouldn't be that big of an issue if I didn't already have an amazing arcade fighting stick for my 360.
Is this game worth being serious about and making sure I can use an arcade stick with it or is it just as fun without?
I guess the extra characters are tempting me on the ps3 side of things as well.
Thoughts?

If you have another person to do local co-op online get the ps3 version. 2v2 is so great.
Extra characters are garbage. Don't let them factor.

Good to know.
2v2 on ps3 with someone else isn't that big of a factor because none of my friends have enough patience for fighting games

Cole disagrees, hes stupid amounts of fun.
I dont think anyone can argue that the PS3 version of SFxT isnt just the definitive version of the game. Even if you dislike the extra characters the exclusion of Offline co-op online in the 360 version is just really ... really stupid. Unless all of your friends have the game on 360 I see no reason not to pick up the game on PS3.
Edit : And unless you have a third party controller, the 360 controller is just garbage for fighting games.

Main factor for me of getting the 360 version is the fact that I own a tournament fight stick for 360. So that is a big part of the dilemma.

the only thing that makes me sad is that he doesn't really feel like that much of an spd character anymore, at least imo, but that may just be due to the overall mechanics of the game.
could always buy a converter.cidhighwind89 said:

What's the best way to learn this game? It seems strikingly more complex than SFIV, with special techniques, correct counters and timing playing a huge role, none of which I currently master.
SP seems too easy for learning, so should I just repeat MP until I get my ass handed to me less out of instinct?

watch videos online. the cpu doesn't really play like a human, so while you may find certain things working against them, they may not work against a real opponenent. maximillian has good videos. http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLC63BA354E9F9CCC4&feature=plcp

I have to give Capcom a 10/10 for this on the troll rating if this is real.

Where can I buy the converter because my friend has the game on ps3 and I don't want to spend money on a ps3 stick. I'm might get sfxt on ps3 later though.

Where could I find one? I thought that this was an option but I wasn't sure if there were easily available.
This is a neat idea. Will dig up my metronome.

I like using cosmic elevator for training. There's good beats to go with linking rhythm.
If you're new, I would suggest starting off by learning some moves, do a few trials, try to use more normal moves against people or CPU to learn ranges and stuff. Don't sweat it if you cannot complete all of them.
Jumping in is so much more rewarding in this game but I would suggest laying off using it as a means of traveling across the stage. It's easy to pick out players like that.

you strike at the shadows
They aren't playing it like it's SFIV so there's the answer.
The setup at 2:32 is absolutely sick. :]

That was the first time I've actually fought someone in a real match other than a few times during launch day. I also only have been practicing Poison and dicking off in some trials. I wanna learn Hwo, but, I still don't even know what his normals are. I'll do cr. mk like it's a shoto cr. mk and it is not.

Anyone have the trials for Blanka / Cody?

would have to buy it online most likely. play-asia.com, amazon, or even ebay. the only one i know about is the xcm cross battle adapter. not sure if there's any better ones.
one of the youtube comments says that there aren't unblockables in this game and that if you try to do high and low at the same time it will auto-block the 2nd. is this true?kitzkozan said:They aren't playing it like it's SFIV so there's the answer.

Dude, you have a fight stick, just get the 360 version. There's nothing definitive about the PS3 version, they're both the same minus stupid cats.
Perhaps, but it seemed to me that Ryu connected with his j. medium kick just after kazuya third hit of his rising sun. In that case, it just seemed like an example of clutch blocking.

Any streams going on today? Wont be able to play due to work but want stream monster while I do it.
True, I welcome the challenge he brings when I fight him though.

Level Up is going to be streaming some SFxT at 3 o'clock PT.
I actually plan on doing this, but it'll have a lot more content than just that...

So is it just me or does Steve's overhead kinda suck? You can only combo after it on crouching opponents as a counter hit :/ Standing counter hit won't work.
You need to force them to stand somehow if you wanna hit with the command grab as anything other than a punish.

Sick, I also just found out arcade ufo will be having a tourney streamed with the players from the ipl that ran yesterday.

It doesn't state if it's being streamed or not. It would be great if so. If not, then we'll have to wait for Wednesday's usual suspects.
