Vegas not that bad. People just need to stop trying to use him like ST. You cant abuse wall dive and have to play a good ground game and abuse his foot speed and throw a lot. His Ultra is great at punishing pretty much anything on reaction as well.FootNinja said:I will make him a force to be reckoned with (or at least be able to hold my own.)

Wishful thinking, hoping the game might be open enough that i could bring in some casual friends to play against.Kintaro said:
I did not know capcom had advertised it as such. I only read that in reviews.

so how the hell are there people with over 400000 points in the ps3 ladder? are they playing the damn game for 72 hours with no breaks? :lol will they reset the ladder from time to time?
You're just going to get angry because they nerfed him so bad. He's so slow with all of his moves except EX scarlet terror. His super and ultra are both impossible or damn near impossible to combo into. Rolling crystal flash has really slow startup. UGH why did they make him so bad.FootNinja said:I will make him a force to be reckoned with (or at least be able to hold my own.) It isn't all about winning instantly, Its about skill/style.

I called myself "Thrillhouse"Threi said:
Haha awesome. Had the usual ken vs ryu fight with me being ken. I had only one bar of health left when my opponent used his ultra. I jumped over it landing right infront of him and used ken's ultra which killed him on the very last hit. I was literally jumping in my room yelling fuckk yeah bitch!
It's been a long that since I've played a game that gets me so caught up in it. I'll probably be bashing my knee with my fist out of frustration on the next match.
I gotta say again, this game is kicking my ass. I mean, I can finish normal arcade and beat most people on normal matches, but I'm getting slaughtered on most ranked matches. Can't even finish the trial challenges either.

Wow, I'm exauhsted after my first day of playing SF4.
Too tired to go into deeper impressions but the game is awesome. Way better then I thought, even if I watched million videos prior playing.
Couple things thou:
Anyone else noticed some rare wierd pauses, stuttering or slowdown in offline mode?
I had this and I worry my console is dying.
I play on logitech precision pad for ps2 through conventer, because it's the only pad out of 50+ that has decent d-pad, but the shoulder buttons suck and it really shows it's not enough for SFIV. Must get something better but it's almost impossible for me to get fightpad or saturn pad.
Little sad that getting the match going online takes ages. Most end up with message "Unable to play". But when it goes through, wow, what a net code. I played fighters where netcode run a lot poorer on 4 bars then here on 0 or 1 bar! Fucking incredible, but why so many with 1 bar and so few with 2, 3?
99% of people I played with didn't have SFIV installed. Install the game people!
But that's more of Capcom fault that they "hid" the option way back in system settings.
Guile rocks online! My impression is that he's still a beast despite nerfing.
There are many idiots online. I don't mean noobs that don't know how to play yet, I mean regular idiots like that one Ken player that goes on and does short shoryu all day long and I just shoot him with 20 sonic booms or guys that kept jumping on my flash kick.
I hate 3 button imput requirement for ultras. Can't hit them on my shitty pad and can't use the L1, L2 due to my dissability. I lost like 4, 5 fights online because I tried to do the ultras and didn't focus on fighting.
Shit! Focus attack is lot harder to use then I thought. I mostly forgot about it when fighting online.
Allright I'm going to rest now. I don't know how I will sleep tonight. I'll be thinking about the game all night!

Louisiana, by 2nd day air. Left Delaware on Wednesday night, went to Maryland then Kentucky then Texas then Louisiana. Online package tracking, btw, is both wonderful and cruel.Knux-Future said:

Use the button config to put L, M & H (punch and/or kick) on one button

I'm going to predict that SF4 will have a large gap between the hardcore aspect of the game and the casual.

Why don't my friends like it then?Kintaro said:
Phthisis said:
you can combo off his slide? Wow.
And yeah, hardcores have a lot more experience now, which means any fighting game is going to have that massive gap- unless it's something completely alien, like Smash, GG when it first came out, or VF.
That said, I do think all that fancy combo video stuff isn't needed to become a solid player. It helps, but with damage scaling it isn't really necessary. That said for tourney play I'm going with Honda since he has large single-hit damage. It's so hard to keep spaz chars like Fei Long off of you now. Is jab headbutt safe against rekkas on block? I know strong isn't now.

I played online like 20 or 30 times in PS3, mainly versus people with "poor" connection (half or less "ping" meter) and never noticed lag.dralla said:
I only had an issue. Sometimes I try to fight against a guy and I can't, and should pick up another user. I think it should heard this happens because some things like this and the scoreboards info in the PSN servers are updated every 30 secs or so.
BTW I have DSL 20Mb Wifi. I usually download stuff from the PSN Store @ 1MB/s. I never noticed lag in games like Wipeout HD, but sometimes I experienced lag in Super Street Fighter IITurbo HD Remix (depending on the ping of the other user I think).

I thought you could just hit two buttons like in the VS series.

I don't know...can someone that only has very fundamentally sound SF2 skills be able to hold their own against an opponent that uses focus attacks? Or will they have to dive into focus attacks as well just to keep up?KittenMaster said:

Weird you guys haven't gotten your CEs from amazon yet or are just getting them today. My CE came yesterday from amazon.com and I just preordered like 2 weeks ago.

Can any 360 players tell me if they are having any luck with the d pad or analogue stick? I can pull of many moves on both but they are too random and frustrating to use for long periods. Are there any other pads i could try, i don't really want to fork out for a stick atm so thats a no no.

BTW it's fucking bizarre, but I have screen tearing both in videos (intro and anime sequences) and in-game pre-match cutscenes playing the final PS3 version (European CE). I have a SD 60Hz TV btw.
I remember the PS3 preview build (I played it in a HDTV), and the game didn't have screen tearing. Maybe this happens because now I use a SDTV?

I don't know. I wonder if casual gamers are even buying this game. I was tempted, but one look at this thread made me change my mind. I am a casual fighting game player at best and all the talk from these harcore players about difficulty made me save my cash for Killzone 2.

The black halo 360 controller has a pretty decent dpad
Finally went online.....looks like I'm the only person on this end of the galaxy that can't use ultras.
Only 2 wins so far. Already lost all my points again . :lol
Now to find a character that I can actual play.
Also only one Ken and I think 2 Ryus. I expected something different after reading this thread. Hell I fought more Cammys and Giefs than "shotos".

congrats on beating up elementary school kids J/KDRock said:I just got my 10 wins in a row achievement
I got that achievement last night at about 10 or 11 PM EST and comp wasn't especially fierce. A trillion terrible Kens and Ryus. One good Zangief, and one very good Abel (who ended my 16-win streak as Balrog).

is there any list of priority/frames/etc for moves on wakeup, to see what will beat what?
