I wish it were so, for me, but I'm not that good yet.

I'm not that good either, but it seems as though the vast majority those that have not yet installed the game are really scrubby. The option is kind of hidden but most decent players browse SF related forums, faqs, etc and learn about it there.

dashing and turn punch?

does his dash go under a high tiger? I can't really get dashes down since I'm too caught up with keeping a charge...

I haven't played this online yet but from the sounds of it I might not even want to try. I use Cammy and Chun-Li mostly and would probably have problems with all the ken and ryu users...

Also I don't really do any canceling yet because that shit is complicated.

I <3 Gouken
Click to expand...

yea, i'm starting to like using Gouken now. one question tho, once i use his hurricane kick and i miss, he kinda floats there going down slowly which makes him an easy target. any idea how i can escape outta that quickly? no air blocking hurts. ;_;

Don't be so intimidated, there are players of all skill levels playing this online, and Cammy and Chun have tools to get around fireballs and such (Cammy's spin knuckle and Chun's arcing kick).

Played a little with Zangief to unlock seth, and he's much easier to use than previous games. I could pull of spinning piledrivers with ease, and I usually can't.

Unlocked Gouken and he's a beast. Love his supers. His Ex fireball is pretty nasty and will hit you unless you block.

Yeah... basically, if you fail, you are a sitting duck for quite a while.

I just stick to use the hurricane kick for anti-air or chaining it after a back throw.

Dont mean to spam but since this thread is still nuts I wanted to repost the Sagat video I put together for 1up...check it out! :D

Sagat Combo Video
Click to expand...

Wow, nice have to try some of that. thanks!

My most used combo is jump in medium kick, low medium kick, cancel to tiger knee, and if you time it correctly you can cancel the tiger knee into a super and have it connect.

well dash to close the gap i lil bit.

i dont use em much but some of his Command Punches go right through projectiles. Test to see if its LP,MP,FP or ex(i think ex is definite). The Turn punch dodges everything from my experience.

I'm a bit torn between continuing my practices with the DS3 pad or just waiting for the Hori Fighting Stick 3 that I just ordered...

Ah well. I know I'm gonna play later today regardless.

I love the idiots who complain about people using ken all the time. Where you guys even around back in the sf2 arcade days where it was exactly like that? It's like you guys try too hard to be cool to hate on shotokans when there are like 5 of them in the roaster.

Ken And Ryu are the most iconic and popular fighters in the franchise, and they happen to be easy to learn so they are going to be the most used.

If you like to pretend that you are so hardcore and deep in the scene, you will have no problem at all destroying those 'fireball spammers' in two quicks 15 seconds rounds and move on to someone else

So many poseurs in here, I feel like at a Radiohead concert.

Speak for yourself, back in my Arcade in Spain people were nuts for Dhalsim and Guile for some reason :p

You wouldn't be able to air block on the recovery of a move anyway. Either make sure it's going to hit by through a combo or fadc it. :D

once I get in I don't have too many issues. The ultra has a crouch dash at the start that goes under projectiles, so it's great for mid distance because people aren't expecting it, but you can't use it to close in from far away. I try to use the Ex punches to close through projectiles, but Sagat can rip out two really fast, which fucks me up. I'll try to use more dashes and TAPs though.

Focus attack > back dash. Fairly safe option for every character to avoid jump in attacks. Or jump straight up and kick if you can anticipate it.

HELL YES.

It's gotta be coming with DLC. I remember Ono talking about how he loved the grassy field in the opening fight in SF the animated Movie. Thats all I want really... The chance to playout Ryu vs Sagat on that stormy, grassy field.

Ugh, got my ass beat last night by rushdown Cammys; looks like this thread put the word out that Cammy is the shit :(

What can I do to keep the rushdown pressure off and take her down? Spiral Arrow into Cannon Spike seems to work with the same uberquickness/priority it had in CVS2. Bonus points if there are ways I can do this with say, a Blanka.

I fought a Cammy last night that kept screaming 'Hadouken' every time he did the Focus Attack...had to beat that ass...so annoying. :lol

I fought a guy who was using a Kindergarten Cop soundboard :lol

Anyway, captmcblack, block low. A lot. Spiral arrow isn't safe. Hooligan throw also doesn't work on crouching opponents in this iteration.

you actually get people who talk in ranked matches?

99% of mine have always been silent (which i guess is a good thing :lol)

Im not really the shit-talking type anyways so it doesn't matter.

Cammys I played would drop in with a diving kick ala SF3 Yun/Yang or SF4 Rufus, and cannon spike or spiral arrow with impunity. If I tried to turtle to charge Blanka Balls or block high to stop any impending dive kicks, I'd get Frankensteinered. Haven't figured out moves that I can stuff her in the air with, either. Blanka's j.MK doesn't cut it :-x

[EDIT: Block low to stop Cammy from getting in - okay, I'll give that a try!]

Cannon Spike is the new Shoryuken...or something. Faced a ton of Cammy's which helped my Fuerte game against them.
