When its busy, you won't even get a chance to beat the first computer character you face.

I did this twice today. One challenger in the time it took to play 2 complete playthroughs of arcade (medium, best of 3, 99secs).
Servers are borked today. I'm convinced of it.

Yeah, arcade with interruptions on doesn't work well for me much either. I only get one or two matches inbetween fights, which is when I challenge people, and rarely any actual challengers. I get the best performance out of searching for people by skill (by stability seems to work worse inexplicably), but even then its about 20% success rate

One more shout out. XBL tag and PSN ID in profile. (Please don't post it here.) I stick to random select. No headset for me, unfortunately. I'm feeling really bleh today, though, so I'll probably be an easy punching bag.

with rose is it possible to go from a fierce reflect and catch the opponent with a soul throw if you're fast enough?

Nah. I tried like hell to make it work. I can't combo in her Soul Throw with anything if the opponent is on the ground/standing. Ferrio can confirm this.Andronicus said:

This is the best strat against Shoryuken-happy Ken players. Pretty much works everytime. They almost always go for Dragon Punch on wakeup.
I've been using Sagat a lot lately. Guy is brutal. Multi-hit EX Tiger Uppercut after blocking a Shoryuken is so rewarding. That might be my favorite move in the game. Huge damage and priority.

Rose has no combos into Soul Throw, unlike alpha 3 (and sorta alpha 2).
Starting to like El Fuerte a lot more after playing with him today. Maybe I didn't win any matches today.. oke 3 out of 50 or so :lol but it's great fun playing with him since he is so different and wacky.
Also noticing that I'm a lot less nervous playing the game now, keeping it cool is still hard to do but heck I'm getting there. Al tho I still have 0 BP after 250+ matches, I'm enjoying this game and don't really mind losing that much.
Have to say that I only really hate it when I lose just because I couldn't wait and started my attack to soon. A lot of matches end with both hp bars almost down to zero and me making a silly move.. arg
For anyone that wants to fight add me on Psn: Zotty_nl

For Rose, they should have made her EX Soul Throw like act like a Level 2 AURA ASSAULT from the Alphas

I'll add you, if that's ok.
I won't be able to play this weekend ( I'm gonna go visit my girlfriend - long-distance call, so.. ), but I'll gladly have you hand my ass to me come next week. thirtytwoutside

Strange. I accidentally left it on and I couldn't get a single match against the CPU in... when I'd finish one ranked match, another New Challenger thing would appear. This was on XBL, though (and last night).

My 2 playthroughs were also XBL, and was today between 15:00 and 17:00 GMT.
Yesterday I had some minor waits playing from lobbies I created, but the longest wait was about 1min. Today I quit a lobby after 20mins and did the 2 arcade playthroughs with only 1 interruption between them.
Make of that what you will.
I'm out to see Reel Big Fish tomorrow, so I won't be playing at all, but on Sat I'll be playing pretty much all day. Hopefully whatever issues I'm having will be ironed out by then.

I need someone pretty meh at the game to play with late tonight...
I've got a really crappy Dhalsim and El Feurte that I want to just practice and fool around with (Mainly Dhalsim though)
Any takers - Just send me a friend request on XBL

I'm pretty terrible with most characters, halfway to decent with blanka

usually on after 10
First Street Fighter game I've played sinne back in the Genesis days when I was a little kid and just button mashed for fun.
Now, I suck cock at this game...after playing for about an hour I can seem to actually do something and beat the arcade on medium.
Atleast it's very fun, I'll get better.

OK, so I had my ass consistently handed to me in the online modes, so I figured I'd do some training before rearing my head in the online arena again. I've been playing arcade mode in Hardest with my 3 faves: Viper, Sakura and Sagat. I'm doing OK I guess for a guy who's been sorta out of the SF loop for a decade and who's re-learning how to play properly on a stick. I've managed to beat the arcade mode with all 3 on Hardest and I do OK against most characters.
But I gotta ask: what are some strategies against the close range guys like Abel and especially Zangief? I cannot handle myself worth a shit against these characters. The worst part against Abel and Zangief is it seems I get caught in these loops where they throw me and before I'm even up they've got me in another throw or piledriver and this shit keeps up until I'm done for.
Any suggestions?

to get better online, you have to play online. playing the AI, it'll help you with your speed of executing moves and stuff, but playing verse real people is completely differentNarcosis said:
the benefit of the BP system is that you cant get lower than 0, so even if you lose your first 1000 matches, it doesnt hurt your long term chances of getting your rank up as opposed to a pure Win loss system
Narcosis said:
The obvious tactic with the heavies is to avoid close proximity of any kind to begin with. It may seem cheap, but do anything you can to stay away, and bombard them with projectiles and aerial strikes. If you're feeling lucky, try using an EX variation of a Unique move, which sometimes increases the range (like Sakura's 623P).
Don't worry. Zangief gives everyone cause for strife. If you time it just right, you can get out of the throw cycle, although you'll often be at the mercy of your opponent if they have impeccable timing.
