I got a ton of hatemail for playing Makoto when AE first came out. Now I mostly just get hatemail when I play Yun.

Yall just need to do what I do and send a kind message back whenever someone sends you hate mail. I congratulate them on their victory and tell them that it was a good match.
I've yet to receive a follow up response after sending a kind message to a hate mailer.

I've yet to receive a follow-up message after not responding at all.
I get hatemail from people I don't even remember playing. Sometimes I'd like to write enlightening responses, but it would take entirely too long using the TE stick.
Plus I mean, it's Endless. You don't lose points for losing matches. The only time I ever get frustrated in Endless is when there's lag and/or I get booted after waiting or after winning.

You're using Makoto, right? Because I have no clue what she can do on wakeup against a competent grappler.InsertNameHere said:

Does anyone know how to remedy online issues on AE PC?
I can't connect to Corky on pc but can join him on xbox without a hitch.

Well if you're using Ken, you could uppercut > FADC away for maximum safety on wakeup. His stepkick-thing (forward + medium kick) is also extremely annoying to deal with.InsertNameHere said:

I'll admit Latif running that gauntlet of hell was amazing and he's better or as good as everyone at GG#4, but hey.
GG4 was great with a lot of great matches, but it wasn't better than Evo AE.

I still don't get the hate for that A-rab Latif.

NOT GOOD ENOUGHmastershake said:
That is the best way to go about it, IMO. Most of us played SF2 back in the day and learned the basics there, and they transferred very well into SF4. It's easy to forget just how long it takes to get the basics and execution of the game down pat when so many years have passed since SF2.InsertNameHere said:
And once you do get that basic stuff down then the hard part begins in learning the nuances of each matchup, mind games, improving your defense, learning to read your opponent, consciously avoiding your own patterns to keep from being read, offensive traps and tricks that you have to do to win and so on. Getting basics down takes a long time, but can eventually be mastered. The other stuff not so much. Like a doctor who is still "practicing" medicine after 40 years, SF players never fully master their craft. There is always something a player can fix, adjust, or improve on in his game, and that goes for everyone.
Back in the day there were only 8 (then 12) characters to choose from, and since SF2 lasted for almost a decade, most players eventually learned how to play most if not all of the cast. Now with 39 characters that is a lot more daunting, but you can still kind of float between types of characters like grapplers, zoning, rushdown characters, and charge or motion characters to see what style suits you best. Just finding out which character you enjoy playing the most can take a long time. I'd say try not to commit to any character fully right off the bat, mess around with a bunch and see what fits you best and which characters' play styles you do and don't like, which sounds like what you are doing already.
Overall the best advice I can give is that learning SF4 requires an insanely high amount of time and practice (like learning any other craft or skill, really), and you have to keep that in mind in the beginning when you lose a lot and you feel like the wins may never come. Just keep grinding out training mode sessions to help build muscle memory, grind matches wherever you can to get a feel for the game, and stay positive even when you play for 2 hours and don't win a match. Eventually the wins will come and you will feel the game start to click, and that's when the real fun begins.

Backdashing on wakeup is a good defensive option at low to mid levels of play but you should be wary you don't get predictable and eat a fat combo for it.InsertNameHere said:
The important thing about fighting grapplers is to make sure you don't get knocked down or cornered in the first place. Here are some general Gief tips:
You kind of have to play like a boxer in this match, picking your spots to rush in and attack and then quickly out of his range. Stick and move. When you do decide to attack, be wary of them mashing spd's through your block strings. You can do a few quick lights and immediately jump and watch them try to hug the air below you, then you get a free combo of your choice on the way down.
If you manage to knock 'Gief down, his options are pretty limited, if you time it right his only reversal options are ex greenhand and ultra 1 if he has meter, both of which can be evaded pretty easily and punished if he goes for it. Meaty throw pressure seems to work well since gief players are usually looking for a spd which will lose to a properly timed throw. It's really important to see what kind of player you're up against and adjust accordingly,
this is important for all matchups but grapplers kind of magnify this because they do so much damage
Makoto vs Gief: Keep him out, use your pokes, cr. mp, s. mk, cr. hk, s. mp are all very important in this matchup. Cr. HK works great as an anti air and to punish gief for trying to walk forward or for throwing out random lariats when you're in range. J. HK is also very useful, it has great range and will often beat lariats at certain ranges.
You really need to be careful with specials in this match especially your hayates, if he blocks one he'll take you for a spin. Even on hit he can snatch you up if you try to follow up with more pressure. Even your axe kicks can get spd'd if you're not careful.
Comboing into ex hayate is great in this match because it pushes gief far into the corner and you get some breathing room. Speaking of which, I like ultra 2 in this match because it's a free escape if you're in deep trouble and you can also use it to punish random lariats hard.
That's all I've got for now, cheers.

Oh my, played like 6 hours of offline AE against two mates yesterday. I've forgot how good this game is when you're not playing with perpetual x ms lag and y % input drops...
it was amazing to see how one has progressed, recently I have been trying to fool around with plinking but yesterday I was actually setting seths cl.hk - c.mp 1f link more often than I missed it. On a pretty shitty 360 pad nonetheless, not pristine like the one I have at home :I.
But yeah, seths spd, is it throw invincible?

I'm determined to make him my so called main. I have to, because I gotta stick to someone for more than 1 week. But I bet you're going to rape me with your Yun :'[
edit : though the amount of ragemail I get is almost, almost, as much as the amount I got when I played blanka in the days. Almost.
Yoshichan said:No raping will be done by my Yun, unfortunately
Well same here, I played my first ever yun yesterday :O, and just like always, seth flowchart :
Got in that head -> yes -> Get in that ass
Got hit -> no -> get in that head
Got hit -> yes -> Get some koolaid before it's your turn again.
zlatko said:
I think it lies in the essence of his character, I mean his thing is to not get hit really. So in other words if a seth player is good, gets his mixups and connects his stuff you won't probably hit him before he stuns you and/or ends the game. Which is of course infuriating.
