Just beat normal trail mode with Ryu, I wanted to throw my stick through the screen when I tried to pull off the jumping h.k -> standing h.p -> shoryuken -> Shinkuu Hadoken. Finally did it after a million tries. This one give anyone else trouble or am I just special.
Also, after beating the game on hardest with Ryu I noticed something. The difficulty isn't really much worse than normal. I had a few annoying fights, but that happened on normal as well, and Seth's AI routine is IDENTICAL. There was absolutely no diff in fighting him on Normal or Hardest. Same patterns, same ungodly reaction time, same weakness to sweeps. Beat him my first try.

really depends on who you're using. you can always dash under Akuma's fireball and go into an uppercut if you're Ken/Ryu or some such.
I might have to give up on ranked matches, and it's a shame cos I want some BP =[ It's just too laggy. I can play overseas matches with tonnes of people, but it has to be under 200ms ping. Setting up lobbies and doing interrupt mode in arcade isn't cutting it, and when I search for lobbies there's nothing over 1 bar. Looks like this is going to be a friends only game for me. They should just implement GGPO's system, show you every single person playing the game, whether they're playing, waiting or away, and show what country they're in and what the ping is.

Protip: do NOT do quick match searchs. They never seem to find good connections. Instead, ALWAYS do custom or host your own.UC1 said:
then, always go for any match with 3 bars or better. Even many of the 2-bar matches won't be laggy and should be considered. in the event of lag, just power down your system or otherwise quit the game. there is no battle point penalty for quitting at this date. this is, IMO, the only good reason to quit.

Singleplayer can be good for teaching a player how to play the game. Which very very few fighting games has done unfortunately (Soul Calibur 3 being one of the most rare examples). Also, having fun singleplayer modes is a very nice bonus (again, Soul Calibur series is a pretty good example of that)._tetsuo_ said:
After developing fighting games for over 15 years with very minor changes in core gameplay they should have been able to add fun singleplayer gameplay as well. They seem to be fully aware of that considering they're put quite a deal of effort into the arcade and challenge modes which are pure singleplayer modes. Really bad singleplayer modes, that is.
No spectating is the price to pay for flawless online matches? As long as the host has enough bandwidth (which shouldn't be a major issue, a 2 player fighting game has to deal with a lot less data than a 32 player shooter) performance shouldn't be affected at all.

Ok I unlocked all characters except Seth, Gouken, and Akuma. Online time now!
MIMIC said:I now have to rethink the way I use charge characters. :lol This is incredible
But why is it up+back (instead of up+forward)? I'll accept "just because"
Well you have to go from uf to db, its easier to go to ub then it is to uf. God just looking at that sentence it looks weird. You could try going to uf, but I never had much luck with it, and I can do the ub roll much easier.
Fuck I checked three EB games, all sold out of the PS3 SF4's while I see a bunch of 360 SF4s lying around the store. Did Capcom ship a but load of extra 360 copies?
Anyhow I got tired of searching around and just rented the game, will have to buy it next month now.
Fuck this game is hard, my thumb is already sore and I don't think I have even made it past half the arcade mode. I finished up to challenge 4 with Ryu but on Arcade mode on the default medium difficulty the fuck AI shoots up in difficulty in the 4th round. I'm doing fine and dandy then boom I can't fucken beat them. So far I faced Zangeif and Abel in the 4th round, could not beat either of them. Will have to try again later, I refuse to beat it on easy the first time so.

yes, the hell you can.Relix said:
lure Ken's into doing uppercuts. usually done easily by jumping around near them, as the cool look of that flaming uppercut is too tempting for most Ken users to not try to pull of a lot. as soon as they do it, *throw* (or combo if you prefer). eventually, you'll discourage them enough that you can jump in with a regular kick and catch them unprepared.
I destroy Ken fighters through my bait-and-switch-luring techniques. Develop your own techniques and best practices and profit!

Is cammy really as bad as the guides claim she is? ;(

I've fought only 1 Cammy online. She beat me pretty good (2-1). I don't know if it was because Cammy is good, or if it's because my lack of experience in dealing with her kept me from formulating a good strategy to handle her.
maybe a little of both.
seems 90% of the Ranked gamers playing above 1,000 use either Ken, Ryu, Sagat or Akuma. the rest use Gief. the others are pretty minimal in their presence.
I do find some comfort in hitting 2,000 battle points. that shyt is hard work.

im hoping this has something to do with the dpad, as i am getting beat by people who use normals.Chamber said:
all the matches wind up the same. I dominate first round, i get them to about 30% bar second round and can never finish it, and then they dominate me second round.
I am trying to learn a character like rufus to try to catch people off guard but i get pounded by players smart enough to apply pressure.

Add me or invite me if you're good or just learning. I usually let people play all my characters if they're just learning since a lot of people don't like when I keep using my main. I cycle through Bison, Boxer, Dhalsim, El Fuerte, Rufus, Akuma, Vega and Sagat. Those are the characters I'm learning. So add me!
I just want to play people who won't quit on me after the 2nd match.

Scerw hosting my own room, I actually just had a ton of luck simply searchign for 'same skill' and 'more skilled.' Now, granted, sometimes it lies, but it worked more often than not. Rose to 2200BP pretty quickly. Also met a really good cammy user that a player a couple times. First person I've come across online to beat my blanka.
I have no idea how people on the top list get their BP so high. They must never, ever stop playing.
I also get really bored of using the same character over and over. Drives me crazy. I want to switch it up to akuma but I know my BP would tank if I did that =(

It seems really unsafe to jump at Ken, so I mainly rely on blocked strings and mixups like cr.LPx2, cr.MKxxhadou, HCB+K. I think her only decent anti-air is EX bird, not sure about that one. Otherwise I jump back and do double fierce or jump straight up and roundhouse.
If they get stunned I usually do level 3 FA, upkicks, then EX bird or ultra if they're in the corner. That's all I've got for now, but it seems hadou>HCB+kick or hadou>low roundhouse is a pretty safe mixup that's good for spamming.
