How much is the Femme Fatale pack?

It's not showing up on the online marketplace (UK)

320 mspts or $4.00 USD

 

[LiK]

did anyone experience some major frustration with the AI on Easiest when playing with El Fuerte specifically? the AI was easy with all the other characters (as expected) but whenever i switched to El Fuerte, it looked like the difficulty ramped up like crazy. the AI countered everything, constantly used focus attacks and used throws everytime i blocked. i felt like i was playing on Hard or something, lol.

My friend sent me a link to Sirlin's new blog post about "Some Positive Things with Street Fighter 4". Which then turn into a ton of negative things real quick. Meh.

 

[Dreweyes]

The better I get at this game online, the angrier I get when I lose.

Is anyone else having this issue? :lol :lol

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.

I haven't played around too much with Akuma, but in general, kara throws slightly extend the range of the throw. You basically cancel a move very quickly into the throw so that it gets slightly bigger range. The forward+MP makes Akuma move forward slightly, but then you quickly cancel that into the super/ultra, thereby initiating the grab of the move at a range that's a step or two bigger than normal. Kara throws are more of a high-level and very situational technique.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ox-YSWw5GsE This video shows kara throws for 3rd Strike, but the concept is the same. Notice how the characters move forward slightly when the throw is kara-canceled. At the end they even do a kara demon with Akuma. The technique isn't quite as prevalent in SFIV though.

I never liked him honestly. he needs to get off his high horse.

 

[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.

that's why sf is so awesome. a regular punch can stop a 400 pound sumo wrestler flying at you head first lol

[unreon]

Thanks for all the feedback on my questions on the charge moves =) Much appreciated.

Can someone link me to the direction of those tutorial vids demonstrating all the trials for each character? I've lost them somewhere =(

 

[atomico]

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

The "Brawler Pack" is up @ PSN (US) since last thursday. $4, IIRC
edit: alt costumes for el fuerte, zangief, abel and rufus



no idea about the girl pack

 

[Crab Milk Mickey]

I had no idea MicVlaD was a gaffer :lol Dude definitely has a beastly sim!

But I'm on the list!

Yeah, Dhalsim is officially my main. I just enjoy him to much. Question for anyone who mains him-

What Anti air do you use for Shotos who throw heavy kick (roundhouse) as they jump in? I've tried back/HK and back/MP, but with little success. I think I just need to master the timing though.

Back/HK and Back/MP should be sufficient, but as haunts already said, you need to use them in a timely fashion. Also: these aren't offensive counters, but you can often easily teleport out of there if you're afraid of leaving yourself open with those two moves. Furthermore: you can simply slide out or even dash out of that cross-up if you're already back up on your feet shortly right after they jumped, and a charged Focus Attack is also a decent alternative if you can unleash it before he can execute a second move. Or you can try blocking and grabbing if you feel they won't expect it.

Ugh! The fuck is my TE stick!!?! -sigh- I'm tired of playing on this EX2. Getting back into the flow of Sakura which has been fun!

At least you still have an arcade stick. I ordered the Tournament Edition, and recently I've been told I might have to wait an additional 1 to 2 months because of what seems like an European delay. In other words: the standard 360 controller's all I got for who knows how long.

GGs MicVlad. Dhalsim teleporting, dash-canceling, throw-baiting mindgames FTL! :lol

DAN SQUEELED REAL GOOD

GGs to MicVlad earlier, too. Dhalsim's so different in this game, he seems like a lot of fun. I'm surprised more people don't give him a try.

Your Gen's broken lawl

I mean, I could defend myself a little against your other picks even though I had to get used to 'em (never really encountered Gouken or Seth before), but Gen's 70% combo is outrageous. Couldn't get out of it at all once you got me off my feet.

Is most of GAF on PSN? The only person I have faced from GAF on live has been haunts.

There are a few Friends of Friends lists (for HD Remix and IV) where the most of us are on.

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.

Haven't seen anyone make a list yet, but I do know you keep unlocking new flower icons by playing a fuckton of player matches. I've acquired all but 1 flower icon now after approximately 320 player matches.

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.

is it possible to do with a PS3 and HDMI cable? And what's a tripple couple? I googled and I ended up on lemonparty.....:'(

[Barrett2]

I got beat by a Ryu this morning who didn't do any special moves. He was so good with his timing (or I am just that bad), that he beat me with all L & M kicks / punches. It was like being pecked to death by a sparrow. -_-

 

[sixteen-bit]

It's best to just learn from your mistakes instead of getting angry

Does anyone else prefer best of 5 to best of 3?

Five.

I got really good at Smash Bros. by playing those who were better than me, every single day. I literally lost, like, 30 matches in a row. But every time, I would get closer and closer.

Also, you should re-host your avatar. PB bandwith image is showing.

 

[alba]

I keep getting destroyed online (that's what you get for playing with a pad I guess). I'm having a really awesome time though, this is my third street fighter after 2 on nes and HDremix (but i didn't really play much of that one).

I'm having a blast and so far my favorite character is cviper... even though when I first saw her I really hated the design. What can you do?

Any "new" or not totally going to perfect me everyone ps3 player out there who want to play sometimes? add me! psn: alba17

A legend "No special Ryu" is created.

 

[RevenantKioku]

Akachan tore me a new asshole. :lol I have so much to learn about this game. Namely, how to actually pull off moves when I want to as opposed to doing something entirely different. Still can't readily do a f,d,df or even a half circle forward.

If you're having trouble with the SRK motion, just use df,df+P it's a shortcut in SF4.

I another GAFfer I know IRL told me he was good. I'm not going to bother playing him yet.

Oh shit, it probably was the same dude! :lol

It was scary, too, because I didn't feel like I was losing, by not doing anything special he lulled me into a sense of security. 400 light kicks later I was dead.

Are there any other shortcuts?

i remember a guy used the same method on SF 'Turbo on Live. he had turbo or something cuz his Ryu punches were like machine gun fire, lol. it's annoying.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Not that I know of.

That DP shortcut has been around since A3 and SF3 too, but I didn't know until 2 days ago :lol

[scaffa]

I get so nervous when playing online, hope that this will go away someday :lol I'm not used playing fighting games. When the match starts I forget everything and start to panic :lol

Played a couple of matched today with Sakura, I like her and I'm beginning to understand her moves so that's cool but still got a long way to go. Its nice to notice every time you get a little bit better with the game.

Also played some with Rose, enjoy playing with her to and she seems more suitable for my playing style I guess.

 

[alterno69]

FUCK SETH, what a terrible character he is, not only is it ugly as hell but he's a cheap motherfucker even on easy

Just keep playing, find some friends to play with rather than randoms and you'll get practice and confidence.

 

[akachan ningen]

Woo! I finally did Rufus's last trial. You need to hit the c.mk faster than you would think.
GGs, kioku. You just need to block more And spend some time in training mode just doing your special moves. You already got good poking down.

in most fighting games, i find that if i practice against the AI in Medium or Hard, playing online doesn't feel so bad. i also do not plug my headset in when i play online cuz it's distracting if the guy is trash talking through the whole match.

Eh, just don't get the feeling there's something on the line, and you won't feel the pressure. Even in ranked, BP is easily recoverable after having a string of losses.

I imagine there's a lot more pressure in the arcade when the loss means you're out .50-$1.00 each time you lose.

its will be going up Thursday with the regular psn update

 

[captmcblack]

Oh, sweet Jesus I love me some Zangief and Abel in this game. Grapplers rule the fucking school.

Zangief is unfair; he seemingly walks through attacks, and all of the different motion options make it so I don't have to jump to buffer my 360s. You block the lariat, you're getting SPDed. You block the green hand, you're getting EX SPDed. You knock me down and hover near me, you're getting EX SPDed. I can negative edge my EX SPD too, so I hold PPP, jump in with a light kick, crouch light kick and letgo of PPP/go into my 360 so I EX SPD after I connect. So delicious :lol

Abel is a Shoto destroyer. People jump in deep or overhead to cross up, and they get skygrabbed. Blocked DP = skygrab. Wheel kick squashes people and hops fireballs, roll crosses people up nicely, and his crouching FP is a perfect link into EX skygrab. Goddammit, I love this game so much.

Also, I finally beat Seth last night...with Zangief. Now to beat it with everyone so I can unlock characters!

Woot, finished all trials for Crimson Viper and Rose. Is it me or some of these advanced combos ain't worth shit when in an actual fight? :lol

SOTA is doing the SF Revolutions figures. NECA is doing the SFIV ones. i gotta say that i'm not a big fan of NECA's sculpt for Chun Li. she looks horrible.

yea, unless you're showing off to friends, the basic moves work well enough.

 

[Dizzy-4U]

Also played some with Rose, enjoy playing with her to and she seems more suitable for my playing style I guess.

I was really surprised about her. I only played her very casually on the alpha series but I'm really considering maining her alongside Viper. I played with her a couple of times but I noticed that she has a nice reversal ultra, good anti-air, deals good damage and can reflect fireballs.....it's like a shoto's nightmare.

 

[Fersis]

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

KOF XII == GOTY 2009... and yes you are making the wait harder! :lol

I noticed SOTA has Necro and Ibuki figures...
If only threre was hope for a Q or Urien

so who else is going to see the SF movie this week? apparently there was a Sakura animated short (by same guys who made the SF4 cutscenes :lol) at the end of the movie in Japan, hopefully that makes it here
