I like fighting Sagat with my Ryu. Usually pretty easy to bait them into a Tiger Uppercut.

:lol

I think the same thing when I fight ryu/ken. I almost never uppercut though, which is bad. I almost exclusively throw knees.

He's 100% right. I've never seen such a broken character that wasn't a boss. It's fun owning the terrible Sagat players though with Balrog.

Sagat is probably the least broke of any top tier character in SF history.

This isn't 3s Yun/Chun or STHD Akuma.

That said, I do wish I could ban Ryu/Ken/Sagat players from rooms I create, because that's all I see so far, and it's annoying. STHD had a lot more variety. I do well against them, but it's boring.

Are you pressing two punch buttons to cancel? And the cancel has to be done really quick.. properly done all you hear is the 'shing' noise from the beginning of the move.

It might be easier for you to cancel with the 2 punch buttons that you didn't use to start the move. You gotta do it fast.

You gotta' understand that this is the first SF game I've ever owned, so this is all totally new to me. Could you, or anyone else for that matter, briefly explain how one might use a focus attack to combo in-or-out of something? I'm just learning here (and I have been browsing 1UP and Shoryuken's strat sections too.) Thanks in advance.

Here's a video I linked to earlier that does a good job of explaining focus attacks, dash canceling, and the point of using it.

With that in mind, you may want to forget about dash cancels for the time being. While you are charging the focus attack, you can absorb one attack from your opponent. This means, if someone hits you while you're charging, and then you immediately release the buttons, you will counter them and not take any damage (well sort of.) If they, however, attack you with more than one hit (Honda's hundred hand slap, Chun's lightning kicks) you will absorb the first hit and then get ruined by the rest.

Good application for a beginner. When someone jumps at you, charge up. They will probably hit you with a jumping attack then you can just let go of the buttons to counter. Try it out.

And look in the instruction book, it's actually pretty informative.

Once all the Kens out there figure out how to cancel a blocked DP and then dash back, I'm going to have some trouble.

Interesting thing just happened to me while clearing out the lower tier challenges. I was doing Sagat's Crounching Medium Punch into Tiger Genocide, well, during my motions my finger came off my MP in the middle of the genocide motion and I managed to do a Crouching MP > Med Tiger Shot > Tiger Genocide. But I got credited with completing the challenge.

Don't know if this would mean that it's possible to link other moves into the challenges (most of the time it would be impossible I think) but I found it interesting.

so anyone know how to cancel a heavy kick with viper into her super?
Click to expand...
Since she doesnt have a QCF+K move you can do this:

QCF+K QCF+P - do this whole thing fast

The kick comes out as normal and the 2 QCFs stack together to make the super... poor choice of words but I hope that makes sense.

You could technically do K QCF QCF+P too, but you have to be much much faster just FYI.

Yes, it's like for all combos in Challenge mode. So long as you can combo it, you can throw in any move in the middle of it and be credited for the combo.

I think the easiest way to start off, fully charge a focus attack until it hits, then dash forwards and throw. Once you get the hang of that, replace the throw with better moves. There's tonnes of other ways to use it, but this is one of the easiest and most useful imo.

Finally I'm on a winning streak.

Seriously, all but 5 times, I have fought either Akuma, gouken, Ryu, Ken, or Sagat. Mostly Ken. I got chall number now, son.

I never said I wanted them banned.

HDR Akuma I did.

3s Yun/Chun. My solution was to play better games then 3S. There's enough of them.

SF4 Sagat isn't as bad as any of those.

Seriously, character whoring is annoying. Just because it's annoying doesn't mean that I am helpless against said characters. I checked and my win % vs Sagat was like 84%. I think the only chars I'm below 50 on are Viper and Gen.

yeah I catch a lot of shit from the competitive crowd since I don't share their opinions, but I hang with them pretty well (I can even win tournies occasionally on the local level, though I'd get whomped at majors by the big boys). I think that's my problem somewhat: I love the games but hate the community.

wait, what? how do you check your win% vs a certain character?

edit:
also, the BP climb really starts to crawl when you get to around 1500. When you get to like 3000, do you get like 1 point per victory or what?

Absolutely, I think you and I need to start a fg counter-culture!!! Nah, but seriously, the "scene" are a bunch of pricks for the most part. It hasn't stopped me from playing almost every fighter to have come out though. I just never liked 3S for reasons I've outlined here on GAF in the past, I'd rather not bring up that dead horse though. As we all know, you can't speak ill of 3S in front of the big boys, because it is the definitive fighting game now and forever. rolleyes.gif
