At this point I'm fairly certain top tier will principally be made up of SF characters with a few breakout Tekken characters. Yes, yes, Tekken characters haven't been completely dissected yet but most of the SF dudes are souped up from SF4 and even kicking more ass.

Hell yeah dude. Ibuki/Balrog teams are lighting everyone up.

Calling nerfs for Rolento? Step your footsies up, actually learn to use alpha counters (I need to do this myself), and straight up reversal them if they're too aggressive. Chances are you're not using even a fraction of the game mechanics or what your character's capable of yet, so calling for a nerf is hilarious. Wesker comparisons are also pretty hilarious.
And ultimately, there's always going to be a "top tier."

I love Ryu in this game, he's easy mode. Giving him his donkey kick has done wonders for his game. Doing low foward xx LK donkey kick is a great pressure tool and is hard to punish when spaced right. The EX version leads into big damage. Besides that he has easy links into low forward which can then be used to cancel into EX donkey kick or launcher into more damage. I played a friend of mine who always destroys me in SF4(we played last night and he beat me 20-10. But in SFxT, I dominated him winning 30-10 by pretty much only using Ryu(Ken was my back up and I only brought him in to give Ryu a breather). He kept having this disgusted look in his face about how I was getting pressure and big damage so easily where he had to commit to chains and recognize when to stop if blocked. And I hardly used fireball cancels which I need to add to my game.
There is tournament next week and I would like to play SFxT in it but I'm not going to unless I have a decent 2nd character. Right now all I have is Ryu and no one else I feel confident or comfortable enough to use.
So with that said, SSF4 AE Version 2013: Ryu with Donkey Kick Edition

Man, stop hyping Rolento. I don't want to feel compelled to buy this game lol.
I loved messing around with him in the short time I casually played the Alpha games, and a lot of MvC3 Hawkeye's stuff (who I also like using) reminds me of him.

There was an article from a European chronicling their differences.
PS3
+3 More characters (Cole and two cats)
+Online tag-team via one PS3 (versus 360 needing two 360s)
+Less dropped frames
360
+Xbox Live
+MSAA
Both versions get Megaman/Pacman (PS3 earlier and possibly free)
Both versions have audio issues when online
Both versions have the shady DLC on disc.
Most importantly both versions have the same, great experience.

Thanks dude .. what are most people on GAF getting it on? PS3 I take it.
SF is SF. Most of the SF cast has tools for something. The Tekken chars are wild cards and will either wreck shit or just be completely lackluster because they weren't designed for the game.
also, messing around with ogre. he seems pretty fun but janky as hell
Ok i played a little bit ... the Tekken characters are friggin awesome! So many moves and stances and what not.
Im quite liking King and Steve for now.
BTW the replay functionaly is not working on my end. Cant watch good Kings to learn.
Oh and Hwoarang looks pretty beastly too.

The Tekken characters have a way longer learning curve than the SFs so i believe that once people start learning them.. oh boy. STEVE AND KING FOR TOP TIER!

Kind on the same boat here. Best I can figure out is that j.hp cross, so there's that, other than that, you're playing guess the high-low. But it is really weird and difficulty to actually be in a position where the guy is afraid and blocking. If people are just pressing buttons and jumping in, I really don't know what to do.
Brady Guide on Asuka's anti-air is basically this: You can use st.lp, but it sucks. Now, on to the next subject.

It's too bad charge dash cancels have such limited use, it's an interesting mechanic. Ogres #19 is fun. I should probably get good at it for Poison.
Steve is probably the one Tekken character that can go anywhere. People are constantly finding out new shit with the guy, I really wonder how far he can go.
Messing around with Hugo/Law
Nasty ass team, me like
Pretty sure they have a lot of uses.
We aren't even a week into release yet.
Is there a raven dash cancel combo.

You are gonna see some amazing Xiaoyu tech that uses dash cancels in the following weeks. It definitely does have its uses.
i'm pretty sure he has cr.hp loop he can do with it if i'm not thinkin of something else

PC if you don't mind the wait. Comes out May 16th.
Better graphics if you have the rig (4850/8800GT should run it fine), most likely the same net code quality, and cross compatible controller selection (PS3s, Saturn, Hori, Mad Catz, should work fine).
People haven't been using them yet. I'm betting once they do, people with long multihit moves will start getting bodied.
I'd be all over the ps3 version if i didnt have a 360 arcade stick
Quick question; so, er, the game handles lag by bugging audio, right?
Does that mean, if you play with very low latency, both the gameplay and the audio are perfect?
Also, does that mean, when there's high latency, that you miss some audio but the gameplay is still fluid?
I really hope they don't patch it so that they ruin the gameplay but solve the audio stuff...
ps. MegaMan and Pacman on 360? really?

Going to hit some trials before I start a lobby. Stream is up though. PSN.

The data is all present on disc. Looks like a timed exclusive deal with Sony holding it back.
Oh yeah, Alpha Countering his "safe" first rekka is the easiest thing in the world. I have a harder time with Rolento's that don't do it.

I'm a low level scrub and about 50-60% of my matches are ending in time outs. Need to learn how to do some damage. Going with Poison - Ryu for now, might drop Poison for someone else though.

I've been in the lab all weekend working on Raven's crouching fierce loops. I will get this down, believe it. So far I can do two repetitions without fucking up, I think.
LIke a CD counter in KOF, HP+HK
timing seems to be hard though, I just failed one and it cost me a match I was winning.
Noticing my team has a real problem with tagging out, I just don't get enough launchers since Sim plays at far range and Paul doesn't get a ton of openings. Maybe there's just some bad synergy, but deathfisting folks is just satisfting, as is running away from Tekken chars all day.
