Usually for using an ultra in a combo for most characters, you have to cancel your special move with a Focus Attack, and then quickly cancelling the focus attack with a dash.
After that you can start the ultra in the combo.

So something like Ryu's Shoryuken into Ultra combo:
33+P(SRK hits juggling the opp) -> hold mP+mK(FA which cancels the special animation from finishing) -> 66(dash forward which cancels the FA) -> 236236+PPP (ultra)

EDIT: Or look at Haunt's awesome basic strat in the OP. :D

You might want to translate that.

Focus Attack Dash Cancel

Cancel a special move with a focus attack (MP+MK) then tap forwards twice to dash while still holding down MP+MK. Needed for combos and other shenanigans :)

Grr! :(

SOCOM:Confrontation had the damn in cover art because it was bundled within the box with the headset. What are the chances that the CE version is untouched?

Nevermind.


my copy of SOCOM didn't, it has the French and English back. Got the bundled version too

Oh you do it while still holding the buttons. Heh I end up letting them go.

Normal FACs are nice though. Nothing like Habanero dashing into a medium kick, FACing that with a level 2 FA, then Giga busting your opponent into submission.

:lol :lol :lol Looking at Haunts guide is probably better for him than looking at a random scrub's note.

Funny thing is, while I have all this theory in my head, executing them is another different matter. :lol

Fuerte has little need for FADCing though, since his ultra can't be linked other than from crumple stun I think - although his RSF combo is another story.
That shit's harder to do than most of the combos in the trial. :lol

Check the OP - it's Haunts awesome guide for noobs and experts alike.

Is the move really called a quesadilla bomb?
He's a chef and calls himself "the super dynamic cooking chef" and even has an awesome old school sentai theme.

His cooking skills are really questionable though as seen from his op and ending anime scenes (also from quotes of fighters who beat you). :lol
 
you can use a headset with this game, right? (PS3 version)

I'm trying to figure out my headset is crapping out on me all the time before I play, hope it's not all a waste of effort.

AND I WILL EAT *SOMEONE'S HEART

Mine came through Amazon.ca. Same with my copy of R2 which came from them as well. So maybe my SFIV CE will have it?

Also, Guled. Just added you to PSN. Why aren't you playing?! :lol

I'd wouldn't be there if I had my copy!

Seth is pretty easy on easiest. He's easy to exploit...the first round you can fireball him to death and the second round he's vulnerable against jumping in I've found. Stick with it...if I can do it, you can.

and online is lagless.
 
any impressions yet on the Mad Catz fightpad for PS3? I picked up the last one at GameCrazy, and won't open it until I know if I've made a major mistake. This is a second controller I'm using in addition to an X-arcade, and I'd like to have a six button pad, so any impressions would help.

All right guys, if you still don't have a copy yet, this should be the last night of waiting! We're in the final stretch and headed to the finish line.

I've been playing this game like crazy since thursday on 360; I'm at the 40-plus hour play time mark now. But I want to check it out on PS3!

I like it. I would have preferred it to be wired like the Xbox 360 pad, but the d-pad and buttons feel great. It's the same as the 360 pad; fits well in my hands, has rubber grips, and is very responsive.

But it's not like the standard PS3 controller. It comes with a USB dongle and needs two AA batteries.

Should have been more specific.
Guile vs Seth = FRUSTRATION

This fucking SUCKS! I went to the GameStop I have the game reserved at and they basically stuck to the "it'll be in tomorrow" story. I suppose there's a possibility the clerk was telling the truth. It's more likely the store manager informed them not to sell it until tomorrow. He tried to break out the "you aren't alone, man. I wish it was in tonight too" but whatever.

After leaving I tried to call Best Buy, hoping maybe I could dupe a gullible clerk, but they broke out a line. She said, "we usually we get games in on the day they come out. That comes out tomorrow. You should check back then." I wanted to be like, "um, I worked a Christmas at your store. I know that's a lie. You have new releases at least a few days before it comes out" but decided it wasn't worth the effort.

So, I guess tomorrow it is. *sigh*

*even bigger sigh*

*HUGE SIGH*

Fuck.
 
I had the CE pre-ordered on Amazon. It hadn't even shipped today, so with 2 day shipping and processing it wasn't going to be coming for a while. I called gamestop and both of the locations in my town had extra copies on everything, including an xbox CE.

I was going for the PS3 CE, but I wasn't waiting and that extra stuff didn't really mean to mutch. I am super happy with my decision. I'm loving having my hands on this game to play all week after work. It is everything I hoped it would be if not more. I'm finding I'm having even more success than usually due to a mix of my playstyle and the games mechanics. I wasn't too hot at SSFTIIHDR.

Did we have any graphics comparisons? It doesn't really make much a difference in my case, but I always like to know the differences. PS3 is looking pretty great in my opinion.

Crazy ass line with no preorder and the risk of being denied and the result is:

i dont know if this was talked about already, but is there some kind of bug with the character like announcement things? you know how they have that writing at the end of each match? im playing with ryu and i think ken's writings are coming out.

first rufus called me ken masters, and then in another match it said "settle down and start a family? i have better things to do". that sounds like ken...wtf?
 
Stopped at Walmart, Best Buy, Target and Gamestop on my way home from work and struck out. Target had a spot for it but they either sold out or haven't put it on the shelf yet. What's another day? :(

This game is pretty awesome although I kinda deviated in my usual shoto path to play with Viper who I very much like. I just gotta get used to the pace of this game in comparison to Super Turbo. I'm gettin' beat by dudes I shouldn't have a problem with. D:

Could've asked them if they had it in the back at Target. They would've sold it to you if they did.
