[gutter_trash]

who wants to spare with me tonight on my stick transition practice phase?

yup, I am trying to go from Saturn Pad to MC TE Sticks and want to hit up some fights tonight with a GAFFER for practice (PSN)

 

[LowParry]

GG Kak(how the hell do you pronounce your GAF name? :lol ), and I noticed that to. You were raping me with Cammy BnB combos just a few months ago. You only played her twice against me I think but I still immediately noticed that difference. Oh well, I'm sure you'll get it back.

As for me I need to seriously work on Ryu's BnB, especially the jab, jab, SRK which I use to do so often. Even after 2 weeks of practice, arcade stick still feels awkward to me, like trying to throw with my left hand. Right now when I land a jump in I'm just mashing instead of timing the button presses. I think I need to do what you said and stop using pad because I've been going back and forth between the two.

Oh my. You really need to stay with the stick if yer going to learn how to properly use it. You're only hurting yourself switching.

so I understand that to execute Ryu's ultra I need to do 2 QCF's then press all three punch buttons? I think I may be doing it wrong, I can't seem to get the two QCF's right, I've been practicing in training mode for a good 30 mins and all I can seem to do is Hakoden.

First, make sure when you do "down, down-forward, forward, down, down-forward, forward", you make it "down, down-forward, forward, neutral, down, down-forward, forward".

Second, do it quickly.

Is it a EX hadoken? Make sure you are actually hitting all the buttons at the same time and yeah do it quickly like both fireball motions in a bit under a second.

 

[Kadey]

I'll find out this week and get back to you. Chris will probably be at our local arcade on Friday seeing as there is a local fundraiser tournament for him.

Thank you so much.

 

[dragonballjoseph]

I just want to come in and say that it makes so much sense that Ryu's jumping MK out-prioritizes Bisons roundhouse even though Bison is behind him.

Also make sure you have Ultra Bar set to Refill or Infinite.
Sometimes you don't realize you don't actually have Ultra to do it.

@Rice-eater do cr. short -> cr. jab -> srk for ryu's bnb. cr. jab x 2 won't catch people jumping back or only blocking high.

 

[Rice-Eater]

@Rice-eater do cr. short -> cr. jab -> srk for ryu's bnb. cr. jab x 2 won't catch people jumping back or only blocking high.

I know and I often use that combo. It's just that double jabs are a little easier to execute but I'm practicing both a lot. I just need to work on doing SRK motions on a stick and the timing.

Ccrook, Hitokage:

Yeah I know, I've been whipping out the pad to play people on my friends list. But I'm going to try and go cold turkey on the pads and work on sitck exclusively. I'm planning to attend that Lucky's tourney in the beginning of May and I hope to be more confident playing on a stick then pad by then. Not likely but maybe I can make good progress in the next 3 weeks.

 

[Spiderjericho]

Rice, could you send me a friend request? I'm not sure we're buds. This also goes out to anyone else.

My gamer-PSN-Live tag is krp1976

I suck and am also using a stick. So free wins

Yeah sure, no problem. BTW do own the PC version. Your name sounds familiar to me but I don't know if we've crossed paths before on the PC version or I've seen videos of you on youtube. I"m guessing your main is Abel?

 

[Grifter]

any folk up for a match on xbl or pc?

 

[ACE 1991]

Man, I'm getting my ass whooped on even the easiest CPU difficulty setting... I must be doing something terribly, terribly wrong. Training mode hasn't helped a whole lot either. Would anyone be willing to play any teaching games with me at some point this week? That would be rad. my gamertag is: I ACE 1991 I

 

[ExMachina]

Grifter: I'm on PC right now, if you'd like to play. GFWL tag is ExMachina13.

I am super rusty though - this is my first time playing SF4 in a while. ^^;

 

[Grifter]

No worries, I haven't played since my 360 died. We can warm up together. BRT.

 

[Spiderjericho]

GGs Kakinfected,

I pretty much sucked. But it was nice of you to help knock the cob webs off. And Cammy, Kak will make you despise her. Our connection was pretty crappy. Do you also play on Live? And the router issue was weird.

And Rice, I have all three versions. The username - krp1976 is the same on all three.

I main Ryu, but I mainly mess with random or Dan or whoever. That's probably my first problem right now. I like ALL of the characters. But I need to focus on one.

 

[Ysiadmihi]

And Cammy, Kak will make you despise her. Our connection was pretty crappy. Do you also play on Live? And the router issue was weird.

Well, you were playing Dan when you fought my Cammy

Nah I don't play on Live but I'll be getting Super for 360.

The router problem is really confusing. I have all of the ports forwarded and I've checked to be absolutely sure of it, yet if I bypass my router, I can connect to people I couldn't before.

 

[ExMachina]

No worries, I haven't played since my 360 died. We can warm up together. BRT.

Damn, sorry about the terrible lag. Apparently I can connect to every single Gouken on GFWL just fine (seriously, I just fought 5 in a row in Player Matches) but we can't complete a slowdown-free match. ^^;

 

[Imm0rt4l]

GGs Galactic, killer set. Though I'm sure you would have beasted on me had you selected Rog earlier on. Good fights.

Too bad it was jumpy. I tested 4 straight players matches afterwards (the first 3 went 1 game before the host booted me, WTF) and it was about as good as online gets.

[GalacticAE]

GGs Galactic, killer set. Though I'm sure you would have beasted on me had you selected Rog earlier on. Good fights.

GGs. Gouken can be tricky if you give him enough space. I had to pressure a lot and ended up making a lot of mistakes. And you punished hard. :'(

 

[gutter_trash]

GGs Galactic, and thanks for your patience with my TE Stick practice
even on stick, I flub Bison's Ultra for a teleport, lol

 

[LowParry]

GGs Galactic, and thanks for your patience with my TE Stick practice

I do that all the time now for some damn reason. I think I have Vega's Ultra to blame. I can get that on the fly any time but Bison? Helllll no.

 

[eva01]

Meh, don't feel like typing out the stats.

 

[GalacticAE]

GGs Galactic, and thanks for your patience with my TE Stick practice

GGs. I mess that ultra up every once in a while and I've been playing on sticks since the 90's. Although I just started playing on Japanese parts when HDR came out. I was always a HAPP guy.

 

[Augemitbutter]

good to see many others have a higher playtime than me. people around me usually shake their heads when i tell them about my SF playtime

 

[Frankfurt]

Cammy added as free DLC on iPhone SFIV:

I'm sure DR2K is thrilled

 

[Hitokage]

Download Cammy just to lose!

 

[sixteen-bit]

:lol

How is the iPhone port by the way?

 

[gutter_trash]

I'm gonna post up my stats next week before my migration to Super

 

[Sir Garbageman]

My stats last time I checked. 150 hrs played. 64% winning record. Character Record:

Ryu 50%
Sagat 20%
Gouken 10%
Rose 10%

IIRC characters most often faced were Ryu and Ken, followed by Akuma, Sagat, Rog and Chun. Winning record against all characters except for Bison and Rog.

 

[ACE 1991]

Does anyone want to play right now? Would love a good player to show me the ropes.

GT: I ACE 1991 I

 

[nycfurby]

Thank you so much.

np np, I should have something friday.

Chris Hu fundraiser SF4 video (f. me, NerdJosh, Min)

This was actually the last video that Chris recorded before his house burned down. :/
We'll probably be doing more videos/live streams like this since Super is on the horizon so donate/subscribe to the channel.

 

[Threi]

Long-ass post ahead:

Here is my primary and oldest one (XBOX, gamertag = threi)

Don't play championship mode at all anymore, I stopped at G2-B:

Purple representin'

Sak and Viper why you so free (matchups at work here)

I had a LOT of trouble vs turtle Rogs in the beginning

Next up is (PC, gamertag = threi)

Again, barely ever play championship mode

This winstreak was much later on, when it hit me that I should play footsies with bison instead of blind aggression:

Much more accurate on my character usage than the XBOX version

Most Akuma players on GFW are scrubs.

Yeah, I'm free for Seth players.

And finally my latest one (PC, Gamertag = jeonjo)

Don't even bother with championship mode or ranked.

A bit misleading, people usually kick me when I'm winning, and if I'm losing I rematch until they get bored kicking my ass.

My main Trio again, a.k.a. Shadowloo n' Spice

Not enough info here, but one thing to note is I did improve on the Bison/Balrog matchup

Those 16 Honda losses were from one player. Amazing keep out/lameness game.

I don't have my PS1 saves to confirm anymore but I'm pretty sure SFIV is my most played game of all time (followed by Smash Bros. Brawl which is at ~270 hours IIRC)

 

[DryEyeRelief]

Practice makes perfect! Consistent 6-7 hit RSF for Fuerte using Sakura or Fei Long as the dummy.

Though there's still more to work on. Damn you shotos and your hitbox moving backward.

 

[Rocky_Balboa]

Decided to make some videos before Super comes out. A few G1 matches and some player matches against gaffer Oldern. GGs Oldern.

Rog vs Rose

Rog vs Scrubby Ken

Rog vs Dictator

Rokitty vs Oldern set

 

[Relix]

GG's Greg =P. Man our connection is a mess lately... that really annoyed more than usual haha. Oh well, I was repeating the same pattern over and over and didn't change it. I'll get ya next time =P

Yah. Keep me informed. Time isn't on my side. I hope the amount is good enough to help him and his family get back on their feet. So what's the difference between Teamspooky and FADC stuff now?

 

[sixteen-bit]

hey threi it's called print screen

 

[the_log_ride]

Hey, all... Could I please get some recommendations on a monitor setup to play on? I've been playing on a Sony HDTV, and the lag isn't bad, but it's there of course. I'm staying with family so I can be closer to work for a couple of days, and after playing on a CRT, I just have to have 0 lag setup now.

[gutter_trash]

I'm practicing Jab into Fierce HHHS on stick

I tried both Mr.SNK's Piano method and his friend's slide method

the slide method seems to work better for me since my ring finger is too lazy to get a full piano method going

but I found a hybrid way of doing it that works best for me

I piano LP (index), MP (middle) then with index I tap LP and slide through MP to HP and there is goes

Jab into Fierce HHS

I'm gonna continue practicing my hybrid method since my ring

see you guys

I used to use the same hybrid method for LP into hands, and a variation of it for c.MK into hands(LP+MK, MP, slide LP-MP-HP) until I got better with the piano method.

Have you tried the LP-MP-LP-MP-HP slide method? That was the first method I learned, but liked the others more.

I find pressing c.MK with the thumb and doing with the ring finger's nail the HP-MP-LP-MP-HP slide much easier BTW. My "nail plate" slides better, I guess...

 

[Teknopathetic]

"Nice! Thanks Aedile! Anyone else play on the ASUS?"

I've had one (since before they were known as the "EVO standard") for my PS3 with 0 complaints.

 

[gutter_trash]

for cr.MK.. I find that a different slide method works best for that one

I do cr.MK with Thumb then with the Index I slide from HP, MP, LP then back to MP, HP

and it comes out LOL

this HHS on stick practice is getting fun.. I should have started doing this earlier
