Dont kno if anyone has answered yet, but for Dhalsim's 3rd stage of trials, almost all of those moves are back+ medium kick or whatever. I dont know why it doesnt tell you that.

Hey, I'd rather be fighting Zangiefs and Abels than endless Ryus and Kens. :p

Just came across someone using Seth in an online match after all this time. He was even easier to beat than the typical Ryu/Ken scrub.

IIRC, Seth has an even greater damage handicap than Akuma

:lol or it's just the fact that they can do the most damage in a set amount of time.

But seriously, Gief's a scrubby piece of shit.

Same here. I don't know when I discovered it but finding out that your charge counts even before the match begins was so satisfying :)

its always been this way in Street fighter... and I think the SNK series as well, but I don't play charge characters in KOF.

I tried the Madcatz pad on 360. It annoyed my so much that I couldn't pull of dragon punch consistently and I have a hard time doing down heavy, followed by a dragon punch.

Is there any PS3 to 360 controller converter that doesn't have lag? I have 2 Sega USB pads that would be nice to use on 360.
Click to expand...
are you serious... that control sucks for charge characters but its definitely excellent for Ken and Ryu.

I'm probably going to out myself as the worst SF4 player ever but anyways.

Last night I was trying to finish arcade mode with Sakura but I just couldn't beat Seth. I played so many rounds and was so pissed of at the end that I wanted to break the disc. Does anyone have any tips on how I should approach the match?

I tried answering! :\

Unfortunately, there's no tricks to Sim's challenge. You just have to be quick with going from b+mk -> hcb+lp. Try this, instead of rolling the stick from b+mk -> forward (like you would a charge move), do b+mk, let the stick go neutral, then completed the hcb+lp. It seems minuscule, but I use this technique a lot.

I dunno what else to say about Blanka's challenge. Maybe try doing the super alone for a few tries, then squeeze the cr hp when you have the super down.

Damn it, I got an email from Amazon that my TE stick has been delayed until the end of March. WTF? I went to the MadCatz web site and its says April. April? They might as well not even bother. I'm sure most people will have moved on by then. You'd think they could manufacture these things faster than that. 2 months seems like a very long time.

Guess I'm pretty much hanging up SFIV until then. I can't do the combos with the pad.
Click to expand...

Did the email specifically say the end of March? Or are you just going by the "approval required" email that asks for you to confirm the delay before the end of March during which the order will be canceled? Early this morning most of us received an email saying our TE sticks would be delayed by about 2 weeks.

I also agree that you think they could pump these things out a helluva lot faster than they are. I wonder if getting parts supply from Sanwa is the holdup. Everything I've read has placed demand for these sticks in the "thousands," and you think a company the size of Mad Catz would have no problems pumping out more than a couple hundred units a day (assuming).

On easiest difficulty? If you're on 1 round, 30 seconds, easiest difficulty; just keep sweeping Seth as he gets up. That seems to work for just about any character.

Jump in, hit (combo if you can), jump out, grab when he teleports. Works for me most of the time.

Sagat and Zangief both need a little tuning down. Most of the characters are pretty close, but Gief and Sagat are to far ahead of the rest imo. Saying that makes me feel dirty asking for nerfs, but I hope Capcom continues to support the game and tune/tweak characters as needed to keep the game alive.

so i switch off from c.viper, sakura, and cammy and I can't freaking beat the charge characters online i.e Blanka, Dictator, Boxer. They always just hold down-back and turtle so I can't really hurt them, unless I spam hadouken with sakura. If i go after them, they hurt me during the openings after successful blocks. what do i do? poke them or what.

you just stand there and let them come to you.

turtling against turtlers (even without charge characters) is a pretty funny experience.

Well, you can kind of cheat. As explained way back like 1000 pages (ha!) you can do Gief's circle moves just by doing a half circle to up + the button instead of a full circle. So, do that twice quickly and there's your super/ultra.

Try it. Do like a half circle back then push up + P quickly. Should get a SPD.

As a Ryu player, I love fighting all the Kens. They go for all the flashy shoryukens and I just eat them alive. Some rounds I use all normals and win handily.

hold back as you input medium kick

then: Success!

Thanks. Did it on my first try.

I did some more ranked matches after getting to 2000BP for the first time and quickly got knocked down to under 1800BP. Seems like once you reach 2000 they start putting you against only other people with 2000 or more BP, unless it was shear coincidence.

I seriously haven't seen that many Kens. I usually hover over Ken, then immediately go to Dan <3.

Also: Why is it 10x faster to find a match just playing through arcade mode with challenge on then legitimately searching or hosting through the lobby system...?

I played on both and found the 360 pad is better. Use the analog stick, it's pure sex. I've also tried playing on the PS3's analog stick but your thumb tends to slide off.

So why do people hate the shoto's online? Especially Ken.
I'm assuming it's because they like to spam the same few moves over and over, but wouldn't that just make them easy to beat?
