I totally need to get in on this as I'm totally shit.

Wigsta78 (PSN) - Wales - UK

I'm trying to learn with Vega atm.

EDIT - Ah shit, I though this was SF4 and not SSF4 only. NVM.

carlos (psn) - southeast USA

[ampere]

Am I terrible if I struggle in Arcade mode on Medium difficulty? I just got SSFIV for PS3 and it's been years since I touched a fighting game but the CPU feels really cheap, constantly throwing me etc ><
Any tips of where to learn how to play?

I also struggle with Medium CPU. I suppose playing real people would be the best way to get better at this game. Also in SF4 the trials were a good way to start learning characters, don't know about SSF4 though.

 

[Flek]

I almost was able to the get the trophy for not using a continue in Medium Arcade mode. That damn Seth took it away from me with a couple spinning powerbombs.

Well, trials/training is good for getting the commands down but to get better you need to be in live fire and just take the lumps and fight real people. Fighting the CPU really determines nothing. You can calmy do commands in any other situation but to have a calm demeanor and not resort to mashing when pressed against the wall is something you only get with real fight experience. Cause getting an ultra out when you really need it and instead do ex moves really sucks. >_<

First Street Fighter game I own in a long time. Mostly playing T Hawk, Zangief, El fuerte and Hakan.

 

[notworksafe]

Looks like my 8 way gate is arriving today! Should be fun to see how it changes my play method.

Also sorry about last night, Flight. I was just doing some quick trials before I went to bed and I didn't want to get involved in online or I knew I'd never get to sleep.

 

[turnbuckle]

I think I need to go through the game a few times with a couple of characters. I've done the challenges for Juri and Dudley, but I forget them as soon as I'm done with em. I did well with Juri online the other night - probably won 75% of my matches, and it was the first time ever using her. Dudley, however....I got crushed. I played him fairly often in SFIII and thought running through the trials would make me adequate enough to be semi-competitive, but I must've lost 80% of the matches yesterday while using him.

 

[FormallyFamicom]

Throwing my 27% win percentage in the cap here.

Famicom - Jo_Jo_X (PS3) - USA - Chicago (Central)

Been using a stick for almost two months now and I'm still not comfortable.

 

[turnbuckle]

Wow playing with this stick is difficult. Not sure how I want to config my buttons.

[TheFightingFish]

Just jumped on board. I'm 100% fresh meat as I've never played any competitive fighting game online before, and I just played trials and arcade with vanilla SFIV. But I'm perfectly willing to take my lumps like a man and I really want to learn to play better (though I'll never take the time to be really good). So if you want a fellow scrub to play, or if you just want to beat on someone who won't rage quit or PM you nasty messages please add me.

I'll add the XBL folks listed in the OP

My gamertag is TheFightingFish and I'm on PST nights once or twice a week and at occasional odd hours in between.

If you just want Arcade-related achievements/trophies, and you don't care about being cheap to get them, just pick Zangief and spam Lariat over and over. Not even the AI in Hardest difficulty is able to counter it.

This is what most people usually have for their button layout.

LP MP FP
LK MK FK

I hope this works for you.

 

[Drame]

Everyone should have got their invites now.

Except for those, which friend requests are still pending.

Well, there are 2 rows of 4 buttons.
The first column of buttons are set slightly lower than the other 3. I have those set as PPP and KKK, with the next 3 buttons in each row being L,M,F. Just wondering if I should switch it to have the last column be my PPP KKK instead of the first.

You can test it out to see what you are comfortable with. I actually don't assign any button to PPP or KKK. I just press all three buttons at the same time since it's easier to do that on an arcade stick than a regular pad. Pretty much the first top three buttons from left to right on my arcade stick are LP, MP, and FP. The bottom three are kick buttons.

 

[Edgeward]

I have mine set up as having the PPP and KKK on the far right column. Feels good, man. It's a japanese layout so it placed so awkwardly works for me because it makes it more difficult for me to accidently hit it.

If I play with stick can I join this list? :X

I'm a pad player and suck monkey butt with stick :[

That's what I've been thinking of doing. I've been using the PPP/KKK to perform EX moves, but it really is just simpler to get used to pressing the regular buttons instead. They are kinda nice when trying to charge Balrog's attack though

I use the same set up. I actually tried setting the far right ones to grab and focus, but I never ended up using any of them.

 

[ZROCOOL]

Hmmm... someone added me out of nowhere. Can't remember the GT but here's mine:

My GT: N ii K O N 7


Add away ppl new account/I'm quite scrubish

 

[Mike M]

I just combed through the thread and am currently adding every XBL person listed in the US and Canada.

Holy shit, this is a painstaking process : /

EDIT: OK, everyone has been added. Apologies to the ones that didn't get a message from me saying I was adding all NeoGAF scrubs, I was using the messaging online and it didn't want me to add any recipients after a while, even to a new message. Go figure.

 

[hamchan]

Yay my TE stick arrived!

Is everyone else here also part of the regular SSF4 thread/chat or are those guys too good?

 

[Nakazato]

I just got fucking embarrassed by Reigun16.

To be fair to me, I'm a bit distracted, and I shouldn't have gone online.

Which segways into;

to a certain sect of Scrub GAF, I'm afraid I'll be gone for 6 weeks. I'm leaving to Beijing today, and I refuse to play videogames when I'm abroad. I'm sure I'll going to be wreaked by you fellas when I come back.

Thanks for letting me play host, and make commentary!

have fun and be safe

 

[Miragith]

Good games tonight.

 

[Volcynika]

I'm planning to be around, fellow scrub PSN'ers, just was mostly focused on finishing Nier this week (which I beat last night), so I should have more time to beat down / get beat down with gaffers this weekend!

Same here. Just accept FRs from TheFightingFish for free wins . I'll be on a night or three west coast time.

Well I thought we were pretty evenly matched once I started picking different characters. I really had no idea WTF I was doing with Makoto there. Heh heh.

I might have a better change against your Boxer if I'm not drunk. Yes, I'm using the excuse

Noooooooo, my fragile ego needs easy victories! :lol

 

[turnbuckle]

I can't believe how good some people are at comboing my sorry ass. It takes me a heck of a lot of luck just to pull off a combo with directions while in training mode, there's no way I'm ever able to land anything impressive in an actual fight.

Something like Zangief's later trial challenges took me at least a good 20-30 minutes to do, and even then it was total luck. The timing is so tough for me to pull off

It's weird that I could do Juri's trials quicker than Zangief's, even though they seem much more difficult.

I'm definitely buying some wine tonight before I play. I NEED to have that excuse so I don't get too hard on myself :lol

You can at least do some character's trials. I get up to 10+ of anyone trials and I'm pretty much done, can't do it.

ggs Miragith, your Cammy was fun to watch.
sorry I started playing around at the end :lol

I hope people here don't mind if I start picking Ryu all the time.

My Dudley continues to be awful, and there's little learning involved when going into ranked matched against people that have dedicated countless hours to their main.

My PSN is the same as my name here.
