Getting better at countering anti airs, but I still need a long way to go. I can counter 1,2, 3 but my timing isn't there yet and if a Ken player gets a good one on me he can do a nice chunk of damage and build off that. I know once I get good at anti airs, the players so well described in the flo chart won't be much of a problem, but right now I'm still in training.
I have these brief flashes where I wreck these guys, Sim is just unreal. I love Abel, but Dhalsim is so cool and has so much personality and a unique style.
I think I am going to devote some time to Sim's challenge mode to get more familiar with him.

Well its obviously not unblockable, just block the opposite way. and block the following crouching jabs/shorts and just watch out for the throw.
Against guiles FK, its 20 frames between the first hit and second hit so theoretically you could do EX Siesmo between the first and second hit...but I usually just block both hits..

Oh yeah that too forgot to mention that.. You could even Ultra between the hits with Viper..

Yeah man. Learn someone new. All the characters seem really solid, and a lot of them I would have never touched way back when...but they all have some mean games if you look around.
Also, at my gym no one really talks about games, but when I mention SF IV you see people who haven't played in ages go "How is it? Is it good?" and then recount memories of past. Its really cool that SFIV is out and is so good.

protip: some of you probably need to practice your counters to specific characters moves? Well step right up!
you can go to the training mode and control the dummy. you can then "record" any moves you do while controlling the dummy, then press play and resume control of your character. the "playback" will loop!
So if you want to practice countering shoryuken's, you can simply go to training...pick your character...pick Ken/Ryu/whoever...take control of Ken/Ryu and throw a fireball while recording...then select "play" and resume using your character. he will throw that fireball until you disable that playback.
It was actually a feature I listed in my mind as features I'd like to have in the game. I had no idea it was actually there! :lol

Yeah I had a hard time with charge characters back then too, but I really tried to learn them with HD Remix. Now I'm using Honda as my main and I'm loving it.lawblob said:
Dan is my second >_>
It's always good to learn something new, just to diversify your game and to understand how those characters work. Even if you don't use them much, just having the knowledge helps a lot when you go up against them.

If they are Dutch, upright and breathing they are more racist than your favorite player
Kintaro said:
Well, all the bad Kens use the same shit all the Ryus, Akumas and even Dans do, which is just DP and sweeps. Ken has a bunch of other moves to use, so Id say just experiment and see what works for you, the key is to mix things up so that you dont become predictable (which is why so many Kens fail, yes I know you love the flaming punch, get over it son!)
Also, challenge mode helps

thanks for the tips, gentlemen. I'm still getting use to adding FA to my style.haunts said:

Jumping LK beats dragon punches, so if you're going to jump in at a shoto use that, not like RH.
F+MK is an awesome poke that moves you forward. On counter hit, afaik you can combo into c.mk into fireball or whatever so jsut do the c.mk after the F+MK regardless.
Pressure with c. jabs, look for the combo, if the block work in a kara throw or mix up a c.mk into ex hurricane. also if they block just jump over with a cross up MK and rinse and repeat.
You can do an air EX hurricane after another shoto throws a fireball, it will hit them and you can combo into ultra. no lie.

I'll pass the thanks along to my boy A_Zombie on IRC. I was just rattling off a list of things I felt would make offline better...and he was like, "that's in there!"Nightz said:

No, you only get one hit on it and you're unsafe as hell (I just got SPDed after a roundhouse version of it, I wasn't even able to jump) but you're the right distance to pull off the throw, though that's useless now I've tested it unless your opponent likes standing still...

I've been using that feature to increase my speed in pulling off spinning back fists, EX spiral arrows and hooligan combos.

yeah that's what i figured, if you're too close you'll get punished after it hits. if you miss you'll get punished, and if u barely hit you're too far away to link it to another combo.

while playing Xabi online last week, I did a jumping-in LK (butt) with Honda and it snuffed Guile's Flash Kick
we were like what?
tried again, it snuffed it again
tried agani, it snuffed the Flash Kick even again.
so, Honda players, jumping LK snuffs Flash Kicks muhahaha

yeah blanka's still my biggest challenge. i lost 118bp yesterday to a garbage ass blanka because i didn't know how to stop the blanka roll and electrocute. str8upaweome helped me in figuring out how to handle him, so now i'll only lose 998 times out of 1000 lol. standing/cr mp will knockout a blank roll. even ex rolls. and cr. Lk will stop an electricute from close (cr. rh works from really far). i have to use a totally different strategy against blanka. no up close game like i usually do.

How do you even start a Hooligan Combo? That stuff came up on Cammy's trials and I just shrugged and moved on to another character.

I hated this game so much last night. Played for about 5 hours and probably lost 60% of my matches. Ken Fighter Online was not treating me very nicely.
On my last match I was kind of out of it. Played some guy called "Ryon King" on XBL. Best of 5 match and I quickly drop the first two, though the first one should have been mine (I'm really trerrible at qcf to the left). But somehow I manage to string together a 3 round comeback full of supers and ultras against this guy. I was hysterical by the end, knowing that if I lost I would punch a wall and that if I won I would go crazy and punch a wall. Anyway, the point is I pulled it off and I was reminded of why this game is so fun and unpredictable
EDIT: Oh and here's hoping Capcom will add some kind of recording feature ala DOA4. Shouldn't be too hard to add right? Though I will difintely be pissed off if it's only in some turbo hyper mega alpha addition =\
