MarkMan, will your company be selling the keychain separately?
I would love one of those things.

Is there a place someone can point me to in getting one of these elusive street fighter snuggies?
Will they deliver to Europe, I need one before Super drops.

Hey guys, how do you hold your stick?

I use the wineglass method. But I think that's been my barrier on trying to execute BnBs for charge characters, because it's hard to tell whether I'm in neutral or not. I'm thinking about just using the "ok hand sign" for the stick.

I find that I use the wineglass hold when I'm not playing charge characters.

Update your youtube channel already.
Some of your loyal fans are wanting some more Kenneth.
I actually don't have one. I've heard they're great though. And since they have Street Fighter characters on them, it makes you look like less of a douche (depending on the viewing audience).bdizzle said:

I wanted to post about this. I just started learning how to play on a stick with charge characters. So I ended up using a method with the shaft between my pinky and ring finger. My thumb on top and my other fingers wrapped around the ball.
I'm learning to play with motion characters and I find using the wineglass method to be much better for execution. Specifically facing right and doing FADC ultras.
The main problem comes when doing the dash Ultra, I get an EX move instead. I don't want to switch to the wineglass hold because it kills my knuckles. I'm gonna keep practicing so I can play Guy in Super.
Yeah someone posted a comment about that and provided the youtube tutorial link, but i think i'd rather id rather do it the legit way, even if it means ill probably never get around to unlocking Akuma, Gouken, and Seth. Anyway i'm not gonna do much else with the PC version unless i get an urge to take more screenshots of 3D Sonic Booms.Kadey said:

This my method.
In all likelihood the grip isn't your main problem. Practice pushing down and other directions cleanly over and over. Get a decent feel for where your stick is and where you're moving it.DryEyeRelief said:
Also pay attention to the sound switches make when activated.

I use the backhand grip, but sometimes I'll use the switch hitter.

Doublefist technique.

I'm a big fan of the OK hand sign, partially because it seems to be the method that best utilizes your thumb (which as a console gamer is my favorite appendage), and partially because my bigass hands don't really cooperate with any other method I've tried. For the creepy celebrity stalker in us all, it's the method Justin Wong recommended in one of the Q&A's on his site, iirc. My only complaint is that I don't have great control over dashes in this hold, it almost feels like I'm mashing them out. Though its gotten better with practice.

Shaft between pinky and ring, thumb and index circling around the ball.

Good lord. I ran into this guy named WhistIesGoWOOOO yesterday in player matches. Before this guy, the only other people in recent memory who've kicked my ass that badly were Saqs and Grifter. Only this guy used like like half the cast. It ended up being like 50 to 20 him, and the only character I could win somewhat consistently with was Viper.
It's stuff like that that makes me hesitant to start telling myself I'm good. 'cause the moment I start getting content is the moment I start to hit a ceiling.
I use sort of a modified "eagle claw, I guess. I put 2 fingers on the other side of the stick instead of 1, and I wrap my hand around the stick more deeply.

Vulcan sign. Index finger, middle, and thumb holding the top, the others just chillin'.
When I do QCFs, sometimes my hand smoothly opens and I stop gripping the balltop. I don't know why.

Lost Fragment,
Good games, thanks for playing, even if there was some very weird disconnect at our last round... I almost believed my whole connection is down, but nope..
Very, very solid Cammy. I felt like I totally have the chance to win against it my Viper, but here being 01:30 am does not really helped me - but thank you again. And yeah, my Chun Li is kind of a drastic, raw, and not comboing at all... but she does that job with that style quite often.
Thanks ^^

wine glass method, shaft between middle and index finger, thumb on top.
as long as you don't hold the stick like your jacking it off then you're pretty much ok.

My Rufus and Ryu are so bleh hahaha.. Thanks for raping them I'm happy I got that low crumple scoop into full ultra with Ken though. I was

I'm happy I got that low crumple scoop into full ultra with Ken though. I was ggs! didn't look like your fuerte needed the ultra against me -- i have no idea how to approach that matchup, and throwing out random shit is good enough against most of the fuertes i see online. FISH FOR AIRTHROW! RANDOM JUMP BACK FIERCE! USELESS GUILE SWEEP! WAKE UP ULTRA THAT DOESN"T HIT ANY OF FUERTE'S STUFF BUT WHAT THE HELL!
played another good fuerte last night, cheapocrespo or something, and he wrecked me too

Was having a mega bad night, Saqs rocked me...some other Viper dood rocked me, then I started to get back into a groove when fighting JR Rodriguez. After that, I think I went near 80 matches with Ed Ma and really started to realize how different the level of competition is between many players.
Doesn't help that Ken's got a rough ass time doing almost anything in SF4, but mega refreshing to fight against people that are that damn good. Vids later.

everyone has their off days, i've had those days where my hands just fuck up everything, just rest up for a bit and get back later. if problems persist please consult someone that can give better advice than me.

catfish said:
If you're holding a stick, your hand might be at a slightly different angle than you're used to. Depending if you're on your game that day, you might notice it, but most of the time you won't since holding a stick wrong probably constitutes a bad day.
Same would go for control sticks, the thumb could be slightly off balance.
It also helps to start from down back motion on your QCF motions.

Ok after more matches, I'm convinced that Gief - Seth is almost 5-5. Played buk a bunch in this matchup yesterday (me gief, him seth.) Buk's seth isn't better than Arturo's, but definitely better than Filipino Champs (champ said so himself) Both sides have to play perfect, but if either side makes a mistake, then you die. Gief gets in once and it's damn near over for Seth. But if he doesn't get that one entry, then he'll pretty much lose.

I was reading on the SRK forums about the Guile-Fuerte match-up and someone suggested that when you score a knockdown on Guile, "Just go apeshit". :lol
I think Guile's safest option is the wake-up focus attack. But it really is just a guessing game when Fuerte knocks Guile down.
This is Ryukichi-kun, a 13 year old Ryu player. He's also entering Japan's SF4 national qualifers today. I'm going to the tournament in an hour or so to play, but I'm looking forward to seeing just how good this kid is. He looks REALLY impressive in this vid IMO, considering his age.

Pretty well, think I went around 17-36 with Ken vs Akuma. Took awhile to warm up...but Ken's glaring problems are really apparent against the more top tier characters, except for Sagat. I usually have no problems against him for some reason...
