Are you talking about FADC'ing out of a Shoryu into an Ultra? Because you cannot cancel into an Ultra unless you're Dan.DELittle said:
Well, I'm sorry guys but I'm now officially one of those shoto guys online who only ever uses Ryu.
I tried to main Chun Li at first but I'm a complete noob at fighting games and she's just too difficult for a newbie to use. At least Ryu is relatively simpler. Maybe, I'll main Chun Li or Blanka after I get more time with the game. For now, Ryu gives me a decent fighting chance against the people online.

"You can ultra out of cancels (unless I have the terminology wrong). Ryus last challenge involves you cancelling an EX uppercut into Ultra. Alot of other characters have the same thing. Maybe it only applies to certain characters?"
This is using a focus attack cancel, i think (haven't done ryu's trial), which is a whole different ball game. You can't, for example, do crouching medium kick -> hadoken -> ultra like you can with your super.
Unless it leaves them in the air long enough to do an ultra with afterwards (like Sagat's EX tiger uppercut), but that would be a link, not a cancel.

Good writeup.
Teknopathetic said:
Why did they name it focus cancel -_-. It confuses the newcomers like me. It should be focus interupt or something so when someone says interupt you know its a focus and not an animation being cancelled. Then again interupt is probably already defined in street fighter speak

I don't understand why people would main Ken or Ryu when you could easily go my route and main Akuma, who also has an air fireball. Are there that many newbs really playing this?

:lol he's not just ryu/ken with an air fireball. He takes more damage than any of the regular characters in the game, for one thing. His super/ultra is hard to land against a good player for another. I guess there are that many newbs playing this...

Character wise, I don't think it makes sense to have Akuma take more damage as he is portrayed as the ultimate badass. I could see dan taking more damage more readily than Akuma.
However, for the sake of game balance, it does work.

Like most 360 games SFIV's native resolution is 720p - that's what all the assets were created with. It's a very sharp, crisp, vibrant game. I would expect upscaling it would harm the visual quality to some small degree.
I actually have a 720p LCD panel TV and wouldn't want to upgrade to a seemingly flashy 1080p panel this gen. Most 360 and PS3 games actually run at 720p, and downscaling the 1080p games just makes them run better in a lot of cases
(stuff like resolution shifting doesn't happen in some of them.)"God's Beard!"

now I can start spamming goshoryukens because I'm an Akuma player and the basic mechanics of the game are so difficult I've just been spinning my joystick in circles and mashing hardpunch.

When you do a FA, do a quick combo. jump in with mk instead of HK, you missed a few chances to do a crossup because of that. When you see them charging a FA, do an armor break move instead of trying to jump. don't do random shouokens from midscreen. don't do random ultras from midscreen. don't get into a fireball war, work on getting inside, EX otoshi works. mix up your attacks with throws, I think the only throw you did was when he was dizzy, which is when you don't want to throw.Sectus said:
Thanks for the tips... but... erm, I can't understand half of what you just said @_@. FA? Otoshi? Armor break?akachan ningen said:
And if the trial mode is any indication, I should probably never try to do any combos ever. I could only barely get past the 3rd trial stage for Sakura. Hard trials aren't even worth considering.
There's one basic thing I'm very uncertain of, and that's what to do when you're right next to your opponent, especially when he's about to stand up. How fast can a player attack after standing up, is there any delay at all? If so, it seems like he has a tremendous advantage as I find it very difficult to time an attack exactly as he's getting up. So when I'm close I have tendency to just poke as hell, since that seems to have the most priority. Same thing about throws, most times I tried to do them I get poked, so I stopped doing them unless I know it'll hit.

So how are you folks beating Seth on medium with Dhalsim? I've got rounds set to 1 and time to 30 secs but it seems almost impossible.

Can someone explain the timing for cancel combos? I'm stuck on the level four trial challenges for pretty much every character.
Like, with Ken, he has one that goes something like:
Jump HK
HK
Shoryuken
EX Focus
And I am having a lot of troubling linking the HK to the Shoryuken. Do I start the Shoryuken motion the moment I press the HK button? Or do I need to wait until I hit before I start the motion?
I'm really stuck. Either my Shoyruken comes out late and gets blocked or I don't even do the move because it didn't read my joystick motion.
Any advice please!

God, players that disconnect just before you beat 'em are so lame : \

They can attack on the very next frame, so it's basically instant. That's what a reversal is. I think Sakura's best reversal is the EX dragon punch.
I use Sakura a bit, what I try to do is get in close and land a crouching MK or crouching HP into EX hurricane kick, and then I do an ultra if I have meter, otherwise I'll do a HP dragon punch or 623+K>P,P,P if they're in the corner. If you stun them, do a level 3 focus attack by holding MP+MK until it hits, and then do one of the combos mentioned above. They're not that hard really.
HK is a good poke at mid range, and the MK hurricane kick has decent recovery if you want to get in close. And if you want to get in close from the far end of the screen, use 623+KK>P. Sakura goes pretty crap against other up close characters like Zangief, but remeber that her EX fireball travels across the screen slowly, so you can chase it down and then do a mixup like a jumping attack or a sweep, and still be safe.

Just finished unlocking all the characters, wasn't as hard as I thought it would be.
I can do ultra/super combos really easily using the 360 d-pad, but it's useless for anything else so I stick with the thumbstick mainly.

What the hell is up with the match making, now I'm finding it easier to get matches via searching instead of hosting games.
