Those are EX attacks. Just do a special and use two punches or kicks.
I'm having that problem as well. I can still get games, but it's way more effective to get an online game for me to turn on accepting fight requests and heading to arcade. Trying to find games myself gets me "unable to connect" 90% of the time. While in arcade I get into a game every 10 seconds or so.
Anyway, I'm having trouble with wake ups. How exactly do I wake up quicker and how do I stop someone from using shoryuken on me while I wake up?

Macatz and Capcom really dropped the ball with the release. No fightpads, fightsticks, or tournament sticks, no CEs and some stores are sold out of the regular edition everywhere in this town. Im sure the demand is higher than what they anticipated, but they werent even in the ballpark on their estimates. Guess Im still bitter GS hasnt recieved my preorder tournament stick that I made back in the beginning of December.

I think the F- Ken mentality should only be applied to scrubs. Ken is beastly in the right hands, and a lot of fun to play as and against.
On another topic, I got completely destroyed by an Abel and a Bison today. Tried Guile against both and just got sent back. Any tips for those matchups? I don't think my Ken would've beat them either though. Probably do better vs. Abel, but that Bison...

BTW, I'm ready to prematurely call this game "the ULLLLLLLLLLLLLTIMATE STREEEEET FIGHTERRRRRRR"

Are you using the 1 round 30 secs method?

I think the problem is probably related to the accepting of fights in arcade mode, someone here told me to host, and I get games pretty much instantly.
I'm assuming those that are hosting are those interrupting people playing in arcade. Thus when attempting to find games you get that "unable to connect" message, because those you're trying to connect to are directly interrupting others playing in arcade instead of trying to find others looking for games the old fashioned way..

my Blanka turns Zangief into a bytch. I'm 9-0 in ranked matches vs. Gief with my Blanka.Relix said:

press forward and push the heavy punch.
let that forward movement for the first part be the start of your hadoken motion.

profit.
Edit: and as one other already said, if you don't have a stick, might want to invest in one. it is a difference-maker.
I would not stress about the Hard level trial challenges, though. that shyt is for the birds.

I haven't even tried it. I'm just speaking for experiences online. I've been very competitive with her. her flipping bird kick thing is a difference maker.braimuge said:
Well, I finally beat Seth using Zangief while spamming his 3P move. I don't think I'll ever touch arcade mode again besides unlocking rest of the characters on easiest difficulty.
To be honest, right now I feel the game is vastly over praised. Sure, the game can be fun when playing against friends and the netcode is better than most fighters, but almost everything else in the game is very poor:
-Singleplayer is a joke. AI is either way too easy, or so freaking hard you have to start using exploits to stand a chance. It doesn't help you at all to fight well against human players.
-Besides arcade mode, you only have the challenges as a singleplayer options, which have extremely limited appeal.
-The game does nothing to help newbies learn the game. The only "learning" component part of the game are the trials, which teaches no gameplay elements besides combos which are stupidly difficult to pull off (and has no usage unless you've a very high level player).
-The online portion of the game is too limited as well. Only 1vs1 lobbies, no spectactor option. The arcade/matchmaking is a rather stupid addition, does anyone seriously enjoy randomly switching between the AI and human players?
-DLC ripoffs doesn't exactly make the game more appealing.
-The narrator and main menu music... is driving me fucking nuts. I'm warning you all, Capcom added this to the game because they hate gamers and they want us all to go mad. In 2 weeks the entire gaming population will take suicide because they can't get that song out of their heads, and they keep hearing the narrator in their nightmares.

If MvC2 XBLA/PSN ever comes out I expect it to do gangbusters too.
If so, then maybe we'll get that SFIV-ized version of Darkstalkers we all want.
Understandable how Hori could be caught of guard, but Capcom and MC really blew it. With the hype surrounding the game and the marketing machine they built, you would think they would at least have readily available cheaper peripherals on the market, 3 days after release. Tournament Edition sticks and Collectors edition I could see, but no fightpads or normal sticks is a bad miscalculation. If they were worried about the SF4 branded controllers sitting on the shelf, make them black or white and continue to sell them with the the new Tekken. It seems like they expected SF4 to sell like SF3 :lol Im pretty bitter after struggling to land any combo using the 360 controller.Chamber said:

You don't have to charge for the super. What I do is, charge db, uf+kick, then I roll to down and continue rolling to ub+kick. I hope that makes sense
You don't have a lot of time to get it out, so if you see Guile leave the ground at all then you know you'll have to be faster.

yes, I'm maining her and Blanka for now.
I'd recommend doing the trial challenges. get through all the normal level challlenges. those will give you some good combos. then go to training mode, play against the CPU and crank the difficulty all the way up. get used to using the combos you've learned and enhance your discipline in executing her moves regularly.
with CV, you need to stay close to your opponent, as most of her moves are up-close-and-personal moves. you can play a distance game with those ground punches, but they take getting used to. and she can do that super jump and cross the whole screen, which is important to know and gain proficiency in using.
trying to think if there's anything else for now....
...um, that's probably about it. her combos are good when you can get them off, and she doesn't put herself in a vulnerable position too much. her anti-air uppercut is QUALITY if you use it. be careful using the ground punch, as it leaves her the most vulnerable. the up side to the ground punches is that they are the most powerful "projectile" that I've seen in the game (aside from Akuma's charged fireball).
I did all mine time trial and survival challenges with CV. it helps.
Lastly, keep in mind: AI cannot replicate what real flesh and blood people will do. after you've put in all the offline work to build an understand of how to use her, spend some time in Player matches, where you can get adapted to the turtlers and special move whores out there online.
that's all I can think of now. pardon if this was a bid disjointed. I haven't eaten today and am starting to feel delirious.

i kind of struggle with the bison matchup in this game as well (grifter's bison probably wrecked me harder than anyone i've played), but keep in mind that he has poor antiairs and can be jumped at pretty safely, and that sonic booms will shut down his psycho crusher and knee press. if you're throwing booms at a distance, try to move around between them to throw off his headstomp. in hd remix i liked jumping away and hitting hp to counter his headstomp, but i'm not sure whether that works here

If I can pull this off, my Guile just got 10x better. I had no idea that Guile's super could be pulled off in such a fashion that it didn't require charging. Is this true for other SF games that he is in (like Alpha 3)?
What I do is, charge db, uf+kick, then I roll to down and continue rolling to ub+kick. I hope that makes sense
You don't have a lot of time to get it out, so if you see Guile leave the ground at all then you know you'll have to be faster.
Hmm. Thanks.
