I always have fun playing against an El Fuerte. He's my favorite opponent no matter who I'm playing as. More people should use him.

Nobody should use Akuma. He is the worst thing that ever happened to Street Fighter. If I see a dude with the words Demon or Evil or Dark in his tag I will not join his game, because there's a 99% chance he's gonna pick Akuma. An Akuma that runs away the entire match and throws air fireballs. I'm not saying he's broke, or cheap. I'm just saying most Akuma players are incredibly boring. Gimme spazzy Kens over him any day.

 

[Barrett2]

Man, tough morning. Won my first match, then lost ten in a row, then beat a scrub who was so bad it felt like his dog accidentally started the match and was chewing on the controller.

 

[Feral Youth]

I wish the game made more use of the Defense, Offense and Technique rankings, and based the BP around that somehow.

I feel that they mean nothing at the end of a match.

 

[Rummy Bunnz]

I was playing Zangief earlier. I'm not good at Zangief but I want to be. So I went cruising for weaklings in quick match. I found one guy who was really not very good. So not good I felt really bad. So in round 2 I decided to let him take it. I put on a bit of a show. Whittled him down to 10% health or whatever, then made a few token moves to look like I was really into it. Like I do when I play my young nephews. When he had me near dead I took my hands off the stick and started chatting on the computer.

A few seconds later I look up to see that round 3 hasn't started. I somehow won the match even though I wasn't even playing. I have no clue how the fuck that could happen, but it cracked me up.

Eh, i've got my title as Demon King yet i'm maining Fei Long - perhaps I should change it to somthing Fei orientated if people are going to be avoiding anything to do with Akuma

The trick is that you have to press MP/MK almost immediately after doing a move. Dont wait to look at the move and try to time it, cuz it will be too late. Dash immediately while your at it, before your character even does the focus cancel. Dash will be buffered and will cancel

I have to time it. I think when I do it as fast as I can it's maybe too fast? When I do it as fast as I can it never works. When I do it sort of casually it sometimes works. I've tried every gradient from as fast as I can to pretty slow and I still just can't get a feel for what the timing is.

 

[akachan ningen]

what's the deal with people who don't pick a title or icon? Are they trying to make people think they're newbs or something?

If anyone is on psn right now, send me an invite. :]

 

[y2dvd]

Vega's Hard Challenge Level 1 combo is impossible.

Im-fucking-possible.

Does anyone have any pointers?

I don't get why they choose to make some of these combos so difficult in this game.

Do tournament-level players really use these in game? Wow if they do.

If you think lvl 1 is hard, wait until you get to lvl 5! :lol Most of these combos aren't that practical and requires perfect positioning to pull off or requires a waste of all of your meters. Some are useful tho, and it's usually on the normal challenges lol. You can't teach timing on these one frame links, it's just something you gotta feel for. :\

I got my copy yesterday and I played for 7 hours straight.

I can barely type right now... I have only 1 hour of sleep, my eyes are all red and I can't see shit.......and I totally love the feeling. I haven't been this dried out since Guilty Gear X on DC.

Maybe newbs, maybe dont know or care to set and icon, maybe shoosing no Icon and "Please dont hurt me" gets matches from players that are after easy BP and find themselves getting beat down. :lol

Yesterday I felt so embarrased when a Ryu player beat me with just normals. No special moves. So embarassing.

I wish the game made more use of the Defense, Offense and Technique rankings, and based the BP around that somehow.

I feel that they mean nothing at the end of a match.

Good idea. Now it's good only to say to yourself: "Eh, he was not that good." after losing and seeing oponnents E, E, E scores. :lol

Ofshot question:
What type of ultras do you guys prefer?

1.Short. Like Vega(Claw), Blanka

2.Long. Like Abel, Ken.

I prefer short. The long ones start to drag. Begin to feel like unskipable summons.

 

[Timedog]

Okay, seriously, FUCK THIS. I went to the challenge mode, instead of training, and did a dragon punch into FADC like 10 times in a row. I think there's a bug in training mode that makes FADC's not work well with ryu or something, either that or they made it easier in the challenge mode. Now it's almost effortless. I spent over a fucking hour trying to do it in training mode. FUCK.

[Rummy Bunnz]

I've noticed this a lot today. I think that's gotta be it. Or maybe some people never noticed how to edit their title.

I've only seen a handful of icons online. And only two or so that I don't already have. Are they mostly unlocked through the trials? Cuz I'm never gonna clear all those.

I should have been more specific, I meant experienced players with lots of BP who don't set their titles/icon. The only reason I can think of is that they're trying to lure in the newbs for easy wins.

I love pulling Rose's ultra off and my opponent has to wait for that long sequence. Fun stuff.

I've been tempted to do so since occasionally people will kick me when they see my title and icon? I can't think of another reason, since those were 4 bar matches.

 

[Gagaman]

I haven't unlocked a single icon yet, not sure why.

The challenge mode is proving to be a pain in the arse, some moves are simply impossible for me to pull off, especially anything like the while in air hurricane kick or any of the charge attacks, which I have tried a million times but cant seem to pull off.

 

[Otrebor Nightmarecoat]

Is there some guide so I can use Chun-Li's, Bisons, Blankas, ect's

<--(Charge)----> <--- ---> KKK

Ultra or super combo. I cant seem to do it.

 

[Rummy Bunnz]

Oh yeah, that's what I meant too. When cruising for weak comp no icon was a safe bet. But today that hasn't been the case. Lots of good guys with no icons or title.

Not the first time someone someone implies that input reqirement seems more strict in training mode. I don't think it's bullshit. I've felt it too.

Something like this:

hold <-- for 1.5 sec.
press --> <-- --> KKK (all 3 kick buttons or one of the triggers which has the same effect(RT I think))

 

[GrayFoxPL]

kinky.

 

[rocK`]

I feel like most people are just doing it too fast. The super/ultra is actually really easy when you realize how much time you have doing it.

Icons are definitely not unlocked through trials, only online. Is anyone compiling a list of the ones they've gotten? I can't seem to find anything online about them.

I've got the sapling, which was first win, the focus eye for, I think, the second. I got the chick with the Ryu bandana as well for, I'm guessing, winning with a stun, and for fifth online win I got that Someone Leaping On A Blue Background and a slightly taller sapling. They're not the most robust identification system but I am having a lot of fun messing around with them. I just wish I knew how to get more icons.

I beat Medium with the Zangeif SpinnySpam. I almost felt bad.

 

[Relix]

Life got in the way and couldn't play yesterday. I know fear I will face more Ken's today, though the flowchart is made of win :lol Man its so easy for me to win online with all the shoto dumbassess. I am doing quick work of them with Chun Li and for the hard ones I bring Blanka. He is really THE shoto killer.

 

[[Nintex]]

I feel like most people are just doing it too fast. The super/ultra is actually really easy when you realize how much time you have doing it.

The hardest ultra's are the charge moves, especially when Seth does the Dhalsim downpunch or when he warps around you so the direction you're facing changes instantly.

My standing jab says otherwise : )

 

[Timedog]

Not the first time someone someone implies that input reqirement seems more strict in training mode. I don't think it's bullshit. I've felt it too.

It seriously went from 1/20 to like 9/10 attempts made. It was bad enough in training that I put the controller down, didn't touch the dpad, and just tried to do a standing fierce into FADC as fast as humanly possibly pressing the buttons arcade style using both hands so there was no unnecessary movement and I still could only get like 1/20 to work. It was completely random too, anything from doing the button presses HOLY FUCKING SHIT fast, to doing them just pretty fast had the same completion rate about. I hope this shit gets fixed. This sucks if I have to start doing training in the challenge mode because it doesn't have the same options as the training mode does! This is like a night and day difference to me.

 

[Rummy Bunnz]

You can unlock some from the hard trials. I asked some dude about his and he said he got it from beating Vega's hard 5. And I saw a cube-shaped Ryu head that was cute.

This is the only list I've found and it didn't have many icons last I checked. It makes me wonder if they're time-based unlocks?

I beat Medium with the Zangeif SpinnySpam. I almost felt bad.

I beat everything with that shit. Mapped buttons to all kicks and all punches and just mashed 'em while I read a book. Cleared the time trials, survival mode, and hardest difficulty with it. If they're gonna make me grind for stuff that should have been unlocked from the start I'm gonna do it the easiest way possible. Cheat2win!

 

[sixteen-bit]

lol, I caved and bought the Femme Fatale costume pack this morning.

 

[Mr.Squirrel]

GGs, bdizzle. You're the first good Abel user I've played so far, which is why I could hardly do anything against him. I think I'm starting to figure him out though.

Thanks it was fun playing against you. Blanka and Honda are my biggest problems, I'm just now starting to figure them out. I haven't played with anyone else since I've discovered abel so I've been using them like I play HDR and been failing hard lol.

so far only 1 person (zerojay) been able to figure my abel out, but I think it's because he used bison which I haven't faced before. abel's so damn versataile, that's why i love him. the only move he doesn't have is an overhead (which is pretty useless in SFIV considering how easy reversals are. i'm still noobish with him though. It's hard to compensate for the online lag in doing combos, FADC'ing, etc. Plus I have to use the dash kick more to suprise people and do hit confirms. hopefully whenever i get my stick it'll help.

Thanks for the help. I guess I just need to take it a little slower. I was trying to roll through his fireballs and he would hit me with a fierce kick as soon as I came out of the roll. But once I get in there, it's over.

no prob, if you want some abel sparring lemme know. i have both versions though i royally suck with the 360 controller.

And yeah, I just unlocked Akuma with Zangeif before work.

:lol

 

[F#A#Oo]

Where do I get the DLC for the PS3? :?

 

[Mr.Squirrel]

Good Games, Xavipants (i was JeRkY)

The funniest match was Bison vs El Fuerte.. that was hilarious hahaha, flying, running, teleporting lol into the Nigthmare Booster

you and you're damn honda lol. the last time we played I didn't know a standing mp stops headbutts. I think I can now stop losing so much against honda/blanka players.

 

[Mr.Squirrel]

There are a ton of things like this that I just don't know. I wish there was a mega list somewhere containing this type of info.

The female costumes? It might only be up for XBL at the moment.

I prefer short. The long ones start to drag. Begin to feel like unskipable summons.

I really like the length of Abel's Ultra, it feels like it breaks up the momentum of the fight nicely.

 

[Dizzy-4U]

I should get my SF IV tomorrow !!! Wooooooo !

Not to make the wait any harder, but man, you have no idea how awesome this game is. The screenshots and videos don't do justice to the game at all. It's so damn beautiful...

At least I know we can play each other since we don't live too far away. I'll return the favor when KOFXII is out

 

[xero273]

I am reading up on Akuma and came across some thing called karas demon. I followed their instruction and tried to do that move (forward + MP, LP, LP, LK+Back or forward+HP). When I do it, all it does is have akuma punch and then he goes into demon. What is this move suppose to look like? Thanks.

 

[PhatSaqs]

howd u record the vid?

Using the original HD cable that comes with the 360, a triple coupler, and a Panasonic GV180 camera. The component side is in my TV and the composite side is plugged into the coupler along with my camera. Only downside is I cant play in HD but its all good.

 

[Rummy Bunnz]

Hey does anyone know of any videos showing all the taunts?

lol, I caved and bought the Femme Fatale costume pack this morning.

I'm pretty anti-microtransaction but I have a weakness for Capcom games. I fell for it in MM9 and I may fall for it here...I know it's wrong but I tell myself it's not that bad since MS points are so easy to come by...!

 

[Mr.Squirrel]

FADC'ing during a move, like a dragon punch or whatever is so unbelievably hard. Is there like one frame of timing where it works or something? Maybe I'm missing something? I'm trying to jumping HK, standing HP, cancel into dragon punch, into FADC cancel into ultra combo fireball with ryu, and I can't do it. Even when I try just doing a dragon punch into FADC cancel without doing the rest of the combo, it works like 1/20 times. It's so annoying. I feel insane.

just keep practicing. you just have to get the timing down. if you have a problem consistently pulling off the dash after the FA, map FA to a button in practice mode just to get the timing down. I've done it 3 or 4 times in a match, but I rarely play with Ryu even though my dream is to be the best ryu player in the universe. hopefully youre not using the 360 controller cause I couldn't do it for shit. I'
