What is FADC?
Also..I am having problems pulling off combos in Trial Mode. For instance doing the Heavy Punch, and then Haduken is almost impossible. I don't even understand when Im supposed to make the movement.
I had a similar problem doing Chun Li's crouch punch to a upside down kick. It says I need to charge, but I don't have enough time....
Help!

I'd like some good Seth 2nd form tactics right now.
And SFIII 3rd Strike on PSN.

Focus attack Dash Cancel. In the middle of a Focus Attack, you dash out to feint using it. It takes 2 bars of super meter.

My wife even played a few rounds last night. She was C. Viper, and I was messing around with different character.
I showed her how to do one of Viper's special moves, and my wife just spammed that move over and over. It was pretty fun.
After experimenting with different players, Balrog and Sagat are my favorites. I will be playing with them I think.

you can use it to link special moves into ultras for BIG DAMAGErhino4evr said:

Excellent, this will help me out a lot. Now I can rip my old SF soundtracks and play with them a little.h3ro said:
Game is great except the more realistic nature of the game changes the way chars jump and behave. Loving it so far though. It's been too long since we've had a legitimately new SF console release.

How do you link the cancel into a super? I thought it was so that you bait them into doing something (because they think you are committed to the focus attack), so you could punish.

I wish there was some kind of good explanation of when and why I'd want to do this._dementia said:
It sounds like mid-supermove I cancel out of it and continue the beatdown combo style?
Like I could do a super and mid-super turn it into an ultra?
That sound right?

this game kicks ass. i have no complaints other than i think the ultra meter fills a bit too quick.

I beat him on hard the first time. I don't know if it was just luck or something but I was never contested once. I did lose a couple matches on my way up to him.fabs115 said:Was finaly able to beat Seth on very easy........by having a 1 round 30 second match and having time expire.

You're getting the right idea.
1) You can use it to "parry" projectiles (you take damage that's recoverable if you're not hit) which builds your Revenge Meter.
2) You can use it as bait to make an opponent force a move (for example, charge it up and dash in or back out of it). Perhaps use this against Shotos looking to use wake up Shoryukens. Act like you're going to FA them as they wake up, dash back out of it as they whiff the wake up SRK. Then punch them in the mush.
3) You can use it as a cancel after a special move to link into other moves. For example, use it to cancel out of Ryu's Shoryuken after the hit launches the opponent into the air, Focus Attack Dash Cancel forward, then hit them on their way down with your Ultra.
4) You can also just to counter and punish a careless opponent or escape a string of attacks or blocks. The Focus Attack also does good damage when used by itself at level 3. Say you cause a dizzy, move in and begin your next assault with a nice FA.
This link explains the system well too.

I kind of agree with you. The graphics aren't as impressive as I thought they'd be. I think they would work on the Wii really nice too, and there's little doubt in my mind Capcom is working on that. I really don't like the Tekken esque hit flash things.
Still... I am itching to play the game again. It's quite radical. This + HDR will be all I need for a long long time (forever?).

I'll take Dee Jay but T.Hawk, no need. Put in some characters from SF3, yea, maybe Elena or Q to mix things up.

Hmm...using Focus Attacks to trick people into moving towards or away from you sounds like a tactic that would only work against advanced players. Most people online don't quite know what to do when I'm charging up a focus attack.Kintaro said:
A lot of folks just stand at a distance and block. Other folks don't even notice it and could walk right into it. Some people realize I'm doing something that takes some charging, but try and hit me with a fierce attack only to get hit in the jaw full force with a L3 FA.
I'm sure over time people will become more familiar with Focus Attacks and learn how to react to them properly.
...so to execute a FADC, I just hit MK/LP at the same time mid combo and double tap forward or reverse?
This sounds like something I'd definitely want to do to setup a super/ultra combo.
Edit: And how bad ass does Fei Long's ultra look? Holy flying kicks batman.

I'm really enjoying El Fuerte. I have a feeling that one I learn how to play as him, he'll become one of my mains.
Thankfully, I've built up a callous there over the years, but even then, I'm still feeling it. :lolrhino4evr said:
17-13 so far online. Add me to the list of people who has a sore thumb this morning :lol
Went about as expected, got beat down by people a lot better and, in turn, beat down a lot of shotos. Only had 2 matches where lag was a factor.
I am really starting to dig Gief. He's a beast.

ehhhhh...I dont see the Wii doing anything close to this.
You guys are a hard bunch to please. I think it looks fantastic. Its not MGS or anything, but it doesnt need to be. Its an exaggerated extension of the old school games. Besides, I would take a 2D game even as long as it retains the Street Fighter gameplay.

My hands are fine (HRAP ftw), but my mind...for the first time in ages I stayed up all night to play a game, not really caring that I had to be to work in the morning. Im fairly certain I'll pay for this around 2pm or so.
Sleep is temporary. Street Fighter is FOREVER!

I'd take a 2D game, too. Shit put it with CPS2 graphics and I'll play it.
But you guys are too sensitive. I think its fair to criticize the game's technical chops. I mean, I didn't criticize the game's mechanics or say it was not fun because it wasn't as impressive as I thought it'd be.

Yeah sucka!

Ah, man, I'm so bad. 20% win percentage. I guess it's to be expected that the people getting the game day -1 are going to be pretty good off the bat, granted... I'm sure we'll see some distillation of skill as the more average consumers that weren't counting down the days towards release (or weren't even aware it was coming out) jump in.
I did utterly destroy a Gouken with my E. Honda though, that felt really nice. Honda's EX buttslam is hot stuff.

Im also not knocking you for your opinion. I was more saying that I dont see where its technically lacking. I guess im trying to get a grasp on what you felt should have been in that wasnt? More lighting effects? Better textures? Just trying to understand your point of view better.
BTW Id kill for something like what SNK is doing with KOF. That game looks tremendous.
So I finally got to play it last night...and I played it all night long.
Quick impressions:
- Awesome in every way
- Harder then I was expecting
- New characters are interesting though I am garbage with most as of now.
- Focus Attacks are awesome and game changing.
- Seth is a douche.
- Took a couple hours to get used to it and play like I knew what i was doing (distance and timing)
- Tried right off with the TE stick but moved back to the fightpad due to poor results...I think learning where I play best then applying it to the stick will be easier then to have an alien input device and a new game all at once.
Overall incredible...look forward to seeing you online.
*Spaniard you got your art all over my SF4 (this is a good thing yours and the Chun Viper ones are the two best IMO).

I have been playing a lot of Street Fighter 2 Turbo HD Remix leading up to the release of SFIV, and now that it is here I feel a little overwhelmed. I am not really sure where to start, I have hit the training mode to work on pulling off come combos and moves, but beyond that I am not entirely sure what to do. Every time I play the computer, even on easiest, I usually lose.
So where do I start? I really want to get my head around Street Fighter IV(I even bought the guide!), but I dont know where to begin. Someone show me the path to being mildly competent at Street Fighter because right now I am terrible.
