I wanna fight Akuma, too! I'm not as good at fighting Juri as I thought, I need more power!
I won't stop until I have the best Dudley and Fei Long on GAF, and then the world.

Man, don't rage. It's easier said than done, but remember that first of all, you're playing to have fun. Good luck with those issues at home, I had some of those and still have to fix some stuff around here.Threi said:
Hey, it's not hard, you just have to find the way that works for you.Threi said:
I started using a mix of methods. Besides the 13213 piano, I learned the 12123 and 12323 slides. At first I couldn't get them to work so I tapped 1, then 2, then slide from 1 to 3. With the kicks I did the same, pressing 1(LP)+LK or MK, 2, then the 123 slide. Later with the kicks, I used 32123 slides using my NAIL to slide better, like an inverted "kirby" hand(think spider man's hands), pressing the kick with my thumb and using the nail of my middle finger to slide.
If you don't feel 100% sure with a method, switch to any other method, any time, in the end you'll get them all. Hands are worth it, man!

Hello Gaffers. I am trying to do Balrogs (boxer) trials. I noticed on #14 you have to do cr.lp, s.mk then a dash low smash. How do you keep a charge after needing to stand up?
Thank you.
Thank you.

hold back instead of downback for the standing normal
It's not about being anal. Try to play Guitar Hero(on Expert) on a plasma tv with noticeable lag after practicing a long time on a tv with no lag and you won't find it fun at all, maybe even unplayable. And that's at your house, not at a tourney.Adam Prime said:
Also a game like the latest guitar hero or rock band(with lag calibration)is a way to find out how laggy that tv is.

Honda is my favorite to use against Akuma.. the damage rating is too hilarious on him
I don't even care when I trade hits, the damage trades works in my favor
teleporting Akumas are hilarious when you predict when they are going to do them.

So apparently, Dudley's U2 doesn't beat EX Rocks. That really pissed me off today.
Sounds good, what's your XBL tag?

Im send you a friend request tonight if u dont mind (Im jenova777)
I was reading a thread on srk and it surprises me to see people still want a guard crush option in super street fighter 4, that shit wouldn't work without retooling half the cast so they don't have to block and tech constantly, ssf4's too slow for that shit. As a Gouken player guard crush would be stupid against bad matchups like balrog, bison, dudley and especially cammy since I have no viable reversal or way to escape pressure.

Best of luck getting through Floyd. :x
Thanks everyone that participated and helped with our second PSN Mini-Tourney.
Next one is tentatively set for August 22nd. 16 players, double elimination.
Think about what you would like to see. Feedback most welcome.
Two thoughts:
- We could run it 'on demand', as players arrive.
- Looking into match recording. I want the entire tourney in youtube afterwards.
Please contact me if you already have this capability and would like to volunteer it.
So many great fights have happened in the two Tourneys. You can feel the tension.
Having something at stake, no matter how small, takes them a different course from what we see every night in late night GAF.

Most of the people whining about that are doing it because they want to beat scrubs mindlessly. That's why so many mid-tier "vets" hate on SF4 series to me.
I'm not saying SSF4 is perfect, because it isn't, and I've complained about many a thing myself, but the game is pretty damn good, and possibly the best SF ever.

yea and doing this would make the tiers so much more obvious in which characters are viable and not, making it a 3 character game like 3s instead of the 35 that are in super. SSF4 is balanced really well relatively speaking, it could be better but guard crushin isn't fixing anything, though I do believe there should be some tools in effect to make the divide between scrub and arcade aristocrats more apparent.
vocab said:
yea I agree, problem is some characters can only block in some situations. ie: characters without a 3 frame reversal against unrelenting offense like that of vanilla sagats tk strings. The game should be more offensive, but they'd have to change the game drastically me thinks.

Easy to understand, holding down front on a charge character is counter intuitive + it really removes charge options. DF hk is too unreliable as anti air... if you miss you open yourself to a devastating combo...

SSF4 is pretty balanced IMO. It ain't perfect obviously, but it's good. I think putting in a guard crush is a bad idea as well. Blocking is a viable skill that a lot of people don't have. I don't think in a game paced such as Super would be a good choice. Gief vs Sim/Seth would be more terrible that it is. A lot of move attributes would have to be changed.
I was just reading an Alpha 3 thread (A3 has a guard break) on SRK, a point was being made about when you know you are about to be guard crushed, so you take the major counter on purpose (by doing a move you know will get counter hitted), so you can flip out so you would get VC'd. These are interesting dynamics, but I wouldn't want to see them in Super. Maybe if capcom does another spin off with a faster pace (not marvel3).

yeah, 90% of the flowcharters I play online absolutely don't block and insist on mashing reversal on every blockstring, ugh! Playing Guy has actually made me a better blocker

I'm gonna try to clear up for 8/22 as well. 16 man tourney with double elim? It's gonna be a good time for sure
vocab said:
I wouldn't go that far. I'd say that it rewards offense as much as defense, whereas other fighters go all out to reward offense, which allows them to curbstomp scrubs.
The problem with SSFIV offense is that it requires more execution in comparison to defense- which could be solved by revamping the controls and adding in a Blazblue-style input buffer for links.

vocab said:
Check floyd or Seph offence, blockstring and combos. Just learn to mix throws, overheads, focus attacks, dash ins, fadc... Their offence is extremely good. Offence is only bad when you lack execution and miss strings like no tomorow. Otherwise offence is where this game is at!
If it was made different with this engine then it would suck terribly... it would be a constant blockstring hell or a combo fiesta. Play blazblue if you want endless combos ;p

ggs to Hitokage and Joekage last night. There was some pretty crazy pixel matches. :lol
Thanks for hosting, Gyrian.
one problem I see with the 16 players double elimination: (for me anyway)
- the 8 man took about 2 hours to finish, i'll imagine 16 would take about 4-5 hours. I won't be able to even stay that long for the duration of the whole tourney.
About the recording, I could do it but with that amount of videos it would take a lot of time with compressing and uploading(my internet suck ass). I don't even have most of the matches lol.

And you should run some XBL ranbats, Relix. Kadey is busy with her scrub tourney and her ranbats are a couple of months away. Plus it sounded like she wanted to go a different route than traditional ranbats.
you wanna get some games in later, greg? sim/vega give me way too many problems...saty bodies me haha but it's getting closer lately
SephirothRK said:
I've been thinking about this, and a couple of ideas to help it come to mind right away.
- As I mentioned above, maybe we don't need to run the Tourney in 'real-time'. It could take place over the weekend, say, after a given hour.
- Since we'll be running it entirely in endless battles, we can run more than one fight at once.
There's a few negatives with each of those, but still, something to think about.
SephirothRK said:
I've played very little with the replay channel in the game.
Maybe it's feasible to gather up all the replays under one account that everyone can visit?
We could always record a highlights video from this to post here.
