I have to agree, so far it's looking to be the best SF game. Out of all the previous games, that really says something.

Man I'm on the second to last training tutorial for Bison and I can't fucking figure it out. I have to do Focus, Crouching Med Punch, Crouching Med Kick, Scissor Kick. Dan always seems to get knocked back after the first punch. Also, it doesn't seem like I can combo Cr M. Punch and Cr. Med Kick by themselves. Any tips?

Sounds like c MP and c MK need to be linked. Try doing them alone, you need to hit MK the exact moment you fully recover from c MP. I'll test this too...Tatsumaki Senpuukyaku! said:

It seems like the MP pushes him just out of range of the MK tho
This game is so awesome, I can't believe I ever went away from the series to begin with. I blame it on the late-PS1 era. Once the mid-late 90s were in effect, I think I started considering games like SF as outdated... Damn shame.
Make sure you put your info in the Online SF4 PS3 Matchup thread, and add everyone else there. Posting your info here will get lost, the thread is moving too quickly.

That's coming from me too, and I hold 3rd Strike as my favorite, not just fighter, but game of all time.
Also I have to say, I never thought I could enjoy 3d graphics as much as 2d. There was something about 2d animation, like in 3s or Darkstalkers, that I could just look at the frames all day and disect the animations and always see something different. Somehow, and this is the first 3d game that has done this IMO, they nailed that with SF4, almost moreso. I can't get over how awesome the 3d animated models in this game are.
I thought this game would make me yourn [sic] for 2d models of the new cast, but it's the complete opposite. I am yourning to see more of my favorite characters modeled in 3d. Alex, Yun, Remy, Dudley etc...
Ahh yes, finally beat Time Attack on Normal & Hard, as well as Survival on Normal & Hard - now I can actually get to playing people online! :lol
I'll just do Trials every now & then, but I really wanted to get that Time Attack & Survival stuff out of my way once & for all so that I could have all of my colors & taunts...

I feel you Arpharmd B. I YEARN to see Urien and Q in this 3D art style.
Actually It would be interesting to see how far they could go with expressiveness while still being limited by Q's mask. Like eye flashes or something.

Well, I didn't realize you meant hard trails, and I'm having a bastard of a time getting to that. Are you sure it's not c MP st MK? That's one of his links. I tried C MP c MK and it pushes them too far like you said.Tatsumaki Senpuukyaku! said:
If that's not it, sorry I wasn't more helpful.

WOO. Beat Seth on Medium. was it annoying :lol
Had to switch over to controller. something is wrong with the SE SFIV Stick. the down diagonal is hard to do mainly db. need to replace before i continue on.

thanks, and yeay I noticed that the dash cancel is actually buffered like 300 years before the actual dash comes out, so it makes sense.Teknopathetic said:
I shoulda clarified, but Teknop got it more correct... it's not jus about a Blanka ball, it's about focus attack into a combo that ends in blanka ball.riskVSreward said:
it's hard enough getting sufficient charge during a jump in as it is
the charge times seem a lot more strict than in STHD

Ok, I got there and did it. You can link the crouching mp to mk. Here's what I did:Tatsumaki Senpuukyaku! said:
Corner Dan
Full charge Focus
Buffer in a forward dash
cr MP link to cr MK
then light psycho
it works, keep at it.

I did, but I've seen some say you just gotta not die, others aid you need perfects and ultras, other said you need to do two supers. It's all a bit confusing.

if you got a Super loaded with Chun-Li, Honda and Blanka.. you have a retardly easy combo available if you do a success full Foca Attack Dash Forward
Focas Attack Dash Forward, if it crumples.. then lol do their mashy move and Super cancel their mashy moves wich is the same button as the mashy moves
example: Honda FADF... Fierce 100 Hand Slap, Super Cancel into Super. LOL

I can't figure out how to combo out of a focus attack...
I'm using Viper and on one of her tutorials, it asks you to hit with a focus attack, then an EX thunderknuckle into an ultra combo. I can do the latter two moves for a really easy combo, but I can't figure out how to put the focus attack in there. It feels like by the time I regain control of my character, my opponent has already hit the ground and I'm not able to hit them...
am i doing something wrong?

You're not dash canceling the focus attack. When you let go of the buttons, dash immediately while the attack is still animating. It'll cancel the rest of the attack, and you'll have enough time to follow up into your combo.

Ahhh.. They put the game in the machines in my office.. so now its like a freaking pill to take in the middle of the day to calm my nerves of not playing the game.
I'm schooling most everyone here though.

For crouching heavy kick - low kick wheel kick can punish it although don't cheese it too much since they can DP it.Biff Hardbody said:
EX rekka is also pretty good since it absorbs one hit if they cheese crouching heavy kick too much.
I'm not sure if you can use forward medium kick since blocking the crouching heavy kick might push you away too far.
Anti Air throw is pretty useless unless the opponent is jumping back or neutral jumping - it's mostly used for juggle finishers.
You can also use his jumping medium or heavy kick (i forgot which one makes you kick upwards) for AA.
If you're not sure of your options - roll is always pretty good when the opp is jumping for cross-up or landing in front of you (just make sure you're not rolling into a corner).
If you successfully roll out of a jump-in, you basically just reset their options.
If you can predict a jump-in, crouching heavy punch is very useful - if the 2nd hit hits the opp on air, it juggles and you can do an ultra from there.
At a certain distance, crouching heavy kick can also be used as anti air.

HOW TO UNLOCK AKUMA AND GOUKEN:
Okay, either it's a little buggy or the rules are precisely defined, but here's what I did and it works.
1. Unlock the other 6 (or is it 7) characters.
2. Set the game to easiest difficulty, 1 round, and pick your best character.
3. Get perfects on the first 2 guys.
4. Do as many Ultra finishes as you can from then out.
5. Do not lose/use a continue.
6. Akuma will appear after Seth.
7. Beat him to unlock him.
For Gouken:
1. Unlock Akuma.
2. Beat the game with Akuma.
3. Again set it to easiest, 1 round, pic your best char. again.
4. Follow the same rules (2 perfects, many Ultra finishes)
5. If after Seth Akuma comes again... beat him then start at 1 again.
It took me 2 attempts for each guy, but they did get here.

Definitely, I heard about that a long long time ago and I always had a wired pad for my PC (before the wireless receiver came out.) I brought it to work with me today and it does not have the same flaws as the wireless one. Even still, it's not that great of a dpad, hence me using the thumbstick.SCHUEY F1 said:
I didn't mean you need to use Akuma to get Gouken, I mean you have to beat it with him before Gouken can appear for anyone.Jason said:
I may be wrong, but.... it worked.
You do have to beat the game with Akuma first because I was not able to do it the first try through with Akuma.
Also, can someone give me some Sagat Pro Tips? I get into trouble when I'm rushed down in the corner. I try to input tiger knee to get out of the corner but I always just end up blocking over and over and I eventually get tossed or combo'd.
Other than that I usually zone well and use anti air to my advantage.

I have to say the fact that I have blatantly avoided using Ryu and Ken in this game, that it makes my experience with a new street fighter so much better. Every time a new SF came out, I'd always just use Ryu and Ken to be "comfortable" and eventually branch out. But I always stuck with them and the same moves through like a million Street Fighters and made each new one dull to me. I'm getting much more enjoyment out of SF4 by not using them.
