Do the headbutt with up-back to keep your charge.

"Im new to playing charge character sand im learning Boxer, how do you ultra or super after you juggle an opponent with the buffalo headbutt? Am i suppose to be charging during the headbutt or what?"
Yes. When you do buffalo headbutt, do the up with up-back, then move to down-back. this keeps your back charge, so when you land, just do forward back forward and 3K. Hold K for the first hit, let go for the second (so a straight comes out, missing the opponent and letting them fall a bit), then hold K for the rest of the ultra.
"this is just a general question about charge characters: whenever i play them, i seem to be extremely predictable... "he's backing up, here comes a sonic boom"
its not that way when others do it for some reason. how do you get less predictable"
You can charge back with down-back. Also, you can move forward with Guile while holding back by pressing back and light kick to do his knee bazooka. And don't be afraid to drop your charge, walk up/jump and use your normals a bit.

Finally got it today from retarded online retailer Amazon. Feels like I'm the last one to get it and everybody has finished it already.
Still waiting for stick next week.

Been playing this game for a long while now, but now finally posted in this thread since I got it launch day (tues).
1) When people drop rank fights, do they lose BP? (360 ver)
2) Why is it so damn difficult to get an online match going. It usually says "unable to play" -- I just end up looking for those with "lobby" instead of "fight req" -- what's going on with this?
3) Are those challenges on hard really that hard, because goddamn they are ... hard.

The more I play this online, the more I hate the online setup. Ranked matches are not any fun since you basically play the SAME characters over and over. All I fought tonight was a few hundred kens, a hundred Ryus, and a bunch of akumas. It's like fucking Groundhog Day.
I can't get a few matches in with people on my friends list since you can only have 2 people in a game. They're always already playing with someone else and ignore everyone else.
I'm probaly not gonna play this too much until (if) they patch in spectators so I can actually get a real game going with my buddies...which sucks becuase I really enjoy it when I actually get to play with my friends, but not so much playing against random shotos all night.

PS: I ordered a Hori Real Arcade Pro EX (since I couldn't find the TE).
What's better, or are they both considered top quality sticks? I hear the HRAP comes with a swana joystick (though normal buttons) right?
The SE fightstick I'm currently using has no top quality (swana) parts correct?

It's not that they're usually difficult to beat, it's just not fun having the same goddamn fight 30 times in a row.
Has there been on word on the patch whatsoever? I thought it was original supposed to be out at launch?

I totally agree as far as the online goes. They desperately need rooms or something. I didn't think the Ken/Ryu/Akuma thing was as bad as some say, but it's early and people haven't had a chance to learn new characters. It's certainly not going to stop me from playing this awesome game.
I play with Ken or Bison most times online just because I don't want to lose. I am learning Blanka (well enough to actually compete with people)

It does. And his QCB kick mostly goes over them if you time it right. His ultra goes through them at close to full screen. EX Change of Direction should absorb one too (?).Jamesfrom818 said:

I really feel this is the first game in a while where I want a hard copy of a strategy guide in front of me at all times. Is there an official one people are picking up?

Hey GAF.
I bought Street Fighter 4 today, but I didn't unwrap it yet. I'm kind of in a financial pickle at the moment and wasn't entirely sure if I could afford it, but I flipped a coin on it, and fate told me to purchase. However, once I open it, that's it. It's mine. Period.
What should I do? It's the 360 version.
Also, if I DO open it, will anyone play with me?

Ramen for a week is fine, as is Zangief online.
If you are asking us whether you will regret a purchase of extraneous goods when you are in a financial pickle. I think you may have answered your own question. Return it for the cash. Get it when you have everything secure so you have a home to play street fighter in.Dacvak said:
