I don't know. I don't know your friends. Do you play fighters with them a lot? What was the last SF they played? Who knows. Them liking the game should have little do to with how easy it is to get into because it has not changed at all very much (even got a bit easier in terms of inputs) besides the focus system and ultras.

Whoa dude, it's not like the TE is your ONLY stick option for PS3...Aeris130 said:

Sorry to sound stupid but do you mean the pads that came out with Halo 3 ie with either a Spartan or Brute on them?
Anyone else finding the sixaxis to be more then adequate for this game? In SFTHD it can be challenging to consistently pull of special moves with it but in SF4 i'm pulling them all off like a champ. The input is soo lenient that it's bordering on ridiculous (as compared to SFTHD). If it wasn't for the ex moves and ultras I wouldn't even consider getting a stick. I'm not complaining ... this is how I prefer it to be.

Really?I was thinking my DS3 wasn't cutting it. Yeah it's easy to pull off moves such as ultra's and it seems way more forgiving than SF3 in that, but it's hard to do any of the longer cancels/combo's on the challenge trial mode. I'm really starting to hate the triggers.
Honestly though, im just trying to aim for higher level play. It's fine for beating up any of my casual SF friends

Or you can look around Shoryuken.com in the trading outlet.
Theres absolutely NO REASON TO SPEND OVER $150 ON A STICK!
Unless you want it overly tricked out to show it off :lol

Bloodborne is shit
Does anyone know the minute technical differences between the PS3 and 360 version of SF4 such as resolution, possible frame rate dips, audio quality, load times etc? I want to pick this one up but would like the best version possible. All things being equal Im leaning Ps3 as Id like to use one of those Saturn usb pads. Thanks for your input!

360 version has AA and PS3 dips to sub-HD resolutions during Ultras to keep 60 fps, but really the differences are so minute in motion. Just pick the version your friends haveGouty said:

Cool i have a buddy with one of them i will see whats its like.
Does anyone have a link to the YouTube trial mode videos? I'm having trouble with timing of some of the basic cancels and I think seeing it done would help.
In general, do you want to cancel as soon as the first move hits, or just before the animation ends, or does it vary?

I finally got it!
I played a bit with Ken in training mode and I'm installing it now. Is FADC really that hard to pull off cause I did it a couple times with SRKs in training mode...

Well that sucks.
Shoryuken trading outlet is still pretty good though since theres always at least 2 people selling a stick every week.Like others suggested he could also get a HRAP(look at MarkMans reviews on www.sdtekken.com for the correct model that doesn't have anything directly soldered) and do some button swaps.

Nah, not hard. Just a matter of incorperating them them reliably into your game. Pretty soon I'll be doing button presses in my sleep... =/

Maybe i should rephrase and say it's more then adequate for scrubs such as myself. If you're on a higher level, then yeah I can see how sticks can be very desirable, but for someone who's favorite combo is to jump kick, medium punch and cancel to dragon punch; it does the job just fiine

Not hard to do it in training but it's a bit of a learning curve to apply it in real matches and using it to get out of dangerous situations.

I mean I was able to do it with a shitty pad too. This game is lenient on inputs so maybe that helps.Kintaro said:
EDIT: Finished installing! Now time to unlock some characters! I'll probably see some people on later, but let me know if any kinda game night is going on.
Can anyone pass any tips on how to get C.Vipers Seismic Hammer come out twice really fast?
I read on SRK that you hit df, df, up + punch right after the first SH... but my character always jumps when I hit the up... I've only been able to do that twice so far and it seemed to be by luck

Most good SF players know Ryu/ken like the back of there hand, i dont see the big deal. I played at least 50-60 matches and ryu/ken thing didnt seem bad to me. I change it up and use everyone and so did most of my opponents. If someone uses ken or ryu more than once I choose Ryu and fucking wreck them... then they leave
and if they dont I keep using ryu till they switch or leave. So far I love the game, hate the last boss he is lame like most Capcom bosses.GamePnoy74

(still here at work...can't wait to head home and play more SF4 =)

Down-forward fierce kick in SF4 is now the lunging mid-kick he had from the Alpha series (used to be a charge back-down to forward move IIRC). By the time he finishes the animation, you'll have charged down long enough to wall dive. You can sometimes catch people who let go of block after the first hit.

It's stil not fun to play Ken in 99% of my online matches. I rejoice every time someone picks something else.

Is there some sort of trick to linking Rog's headbutt into his super/ultra? It seems like whenever I do the headbutt I don't have enough time to charge for the other move.

the charge for the dash punch counts as the first part of the super_tetsuo_ said:
so do your charge back, forward, press and hold punch and then immediately press back, forward, and release punch.
