Do the same thing you do when you go to do a super, except hit the LB button after the two quarter circles instead (the three punch button, I assume it is either L1 or L2 on the PS3).Thrakier said:I don't know how to do a ultra combo with ryu...tried everything. The super combo is no problem though. The Training mode doesn't do a very good job in explaining those stuff.Can someone help me please?

If you can do his super you can do his ultra, just hit all three punches instead of just one.

Oh god, that happened to me twice while i was trying to unlock Gouken. It sucks knowing you have to play the whole damn thing all over again.hidepsyence said:

Screw you.
It's not as difficult as I thought. I won all the matches pretty easily. Heck I had a 13 win streak until I faced Akuma and lost.
I am tired of fighting Ken 2 out of 3 matches online, it's so damn boring. Out of the 23 matches I played 4 used different characters. They were Fei Long, Guile, Abel, and Zangief. The rest are shotos. If anyone is wandering I use Blanka.
You know, reading around the web about character and move strategies, there's so many terminologies flying around that it's so easy to get lost. All of that is fine and all since there's obviously a need for terminalogy to simplify explanations but why the fuck is everyone using different move notations? Why can't everyone just use LP, MP, HP and LK, MK, HK? Why the fuck are RH (roundhone aka HK), FP (fierce punch aka HP), SK (short kick, aka LK) and a whole bunch of other crap being thrown into the mix?
EDIT: This is one of the worst offender I've found:
HK = heavy kick
2 = down
SK = short kick?
LP = light punch?
SP = short punch? or strong punch?
If you're going to be using notations, at least be consistent with them. If you're going to be using HK, then use LK and MK, not SK and FK. WTF.

Oh man, this game is making me mad. Even on the difficulty setting lower then easy. Never played a SF game properly and to be honest they should have put some proper training in the game for newcomers.
I ready a lot of complaints about the online play and the overwhelming amount of "shoto" players. At first I could understand the complaint, fighting Ken or Ryu over and over again ain't fun but now I sorta see why there are a lot people that pick those chars to play with (easier to play/understand). So I don't know, I wanted to avoid playing them but I'm sorta forced to start out with them since the basics are a lot easier.
But nevertheless I love what they did to SF and certainly gonna play some more today. Glad I bought a stick since I can't even imagine how it would play with a normal gamepad.
Also, I hate Sagat

This game is unbelievable hard. I can do all the special moves with Ryu and some combos but I don't get through it on easy, lossing against Sagath all the time. Is there something fundamental that I'm doing wrong? Like not using those EX moves enough and stuff like that? Maybe I didn't get the concept behind all that stuff.

Are there any alternate costumes to unlock or are they all going to be DLC?

Like in every fighter, learn the good moves, priorities and maximum damage for punishing.
I guess :lol
wow, seth is a piece of shit. I'm playing on easiest like every good soul would, trying to unlock these fools, but sometimes, like when I was playing sakura or abel he just goes bananas. Teleporting as if it was his idle animation. he's still very much beatable by just rushing him down early and staying in charge, but with some characters I just don't really know what I'm doing and must resort to sweeping all the time... :\

Actually to succeed in any SF its more important that you know the normal attacks rather than special moves. EX moves, supers and ultras are nice, but they dont matter if you dont know when to use them. Its just something that takes time, especially if you dont have a fighting game background.
Also learn to play with mulitple characters. Even if you dont use them as your main, it will help you know what might be coming.
So, little update on the Fuerte game. In training mode, I'm starting to get the FP loop up to three hits. I don't feel comfortable enough to try it in ranked matches yet though. Online, my wins are going up as I learn Fuerte more. =) Guile still gives me fits though.
Thrakier said:
Triangle/Circle is for focus attacks on PS3 =Y/B on 360. EX moves are gonna be your special moves and the appropriate 3 punch or kick attached with the move.
Everything else is correct.
On another note, is anyone going to the Gamestop tournament thing today? Starts at 2, I believe. Apparently, they allow 64 entrants and there's only 1 Gamestop here in Lubbock participating. Kinda worried that I'm not gonna be able to enter.

Now really, I love Abel but this is just silly: crouching FP>Ultra. :lol
My favorite little combo of his is this though: cross-up MK, crouching FP>LK/MK Wheel Kick. Very pretty looking.
I downloaded the Brawler pack for no good reason. His alternate is pretty damn boring unfortunately.
Other tidbits:
Sakura is the best looking character. Dan and Rose are very close but Sakura's legs put her on top. ;-)
Vega/Claw is way too bulky and his roll looks like crap--all slow and deliberate. He should have been slimmer/leaner.
Dan's animations are incredible, especially his idle.
When does the next costume pack drop?

Yeah, a lot of these sorts of matchups are so new to me.
I really loved playing "random" vs. "random" because of stuff like this. Did you try rolling over and over to get near him? But yeah I understand, you're trying out a new guy, whereas he's playing a guy we've all played for over 15 years. That puts you at a massive disadvantage to begin with.Are you doing this?YakiSOBA said:Can anyone give me tips on C.Viper's 2x seismic hammer? I can't get the second one to come out consistently
d, f, df + p --> at time Seismic hits opponent input df, df, u + p
Got that from this thread at Shoryuken. I got it out a few times last night in practice. I should have read the description better though - at the time I didn't realize the first had to hit the opponent.
Do you have any tips on the EX Seismo --> SJC --> Burning Kick combo? I have a hard time consistently getting that SJC --> Burning Kick out.

Yes, you're right. Was ticking w/ Abel online no problem. It just seems slower to do in SF4 though. Timing is definitely different than ST when using a T. Hawk for example--perhaps because T.Hawks 360 is much quicker to start?

Did any1 finish the trial on normal with all characters?
This is so weird. Yesterday I visited a friend of mine, and played SF4 there for the first time. Played a couple of matches, but when I played, I kind of got this underwelmed feeling. I thought 'this is it'? It also seems slower than the older Street Fighter games. I think I'm gonna regret having ordered this game. Or does the game grow on you? Man, I really feel disappointed, very weird. It's like it doesn't feel like my old street fighter anymore

Vega will always be bottom tier.KoruptData said:
He has no over head.. he loses his mask and claw like nothing. 2nd fastest easiest to stun (tied with other chars for this)
He just isn't that damn good.
I did get to 2000 BP with Vega though.

Does the strategy guide explain how to unlock all the titles and icons? Can I find this info online?
