Sakura's shoryuken into her super, anyone got tips for the timing of that? I'm not sure what type of shoryuken I need to use either.
Edit: Figured it out. I have to do the super immediately after the shoryuken to cancel it. No freaking way I'm gonna be able to do that in an actual fight
Edit 2: What... the... fuck? After struggling for a half hour to finally beat trial 4 with Sakura I thought I'd at least take a quick look at trial 5 but not giving it a serious attempt. And here are the combos I had to do:
Light punch -> crouching medium kick
Crouching light punch -> hard punch
What what? What what what? Is the game trying to toy with me? Why make me suffer through the worst combos in the game to then conclude with super easy ones?

I just had a very satisfying win. I immediately pick Abel, douchebag then proceeds to move the cursor very quickly to a character, stay on them for a second, then go to another one, and another. After 25 fucking seconds of doing god knows what, he quickly goes to Sakura and picks her right before his time is up. I then proceed to beat his ass two straight rounds, and he lost a lot of BP.

Yeah, I've been using color 10 for Cammy and it definitely looks great. Haven't played around with much of the other DLC but I love Chun Li's.

I don't understand why they play this game after you've picked your character. Doesn't it make a noise to alert them? I definitely know when they have selected their character.

It's like that with every character. Normal Trial 4 is cancel combos, which often require extreme speed of input. Normal Trial 5 is link combos, which require slow but precise timing.
Now go do the Hard Trials which makes you do both at the same time! =)

Is there anyway players with slow fingers and bad memory skills and unlock all colors and personal actions? Or is it all based on beating the higher difficulties of challenge mode?

Aren't all the colors and PAs tied to Time and Survival challenges? I thought the bullshit training ones only had art, icons, and titles.brendanrfoley said:

Avatar1 said:OK, Rose isn't worthless. I was just very, very frustrated earlier this morning after *repeatedly* getting my ass handed to me.
It just seems like I have to work 2x as hard as the other player to get a win with her.
My problem I suppose is that I have not figured out her close-combat strengths and weaknesses yet, outside of her awesome kicks. If I'm full-on rushed I don't feel like I have many options and most people this morning seemed to sense that. Her fireball is not good enough to zone very well either, so getting in on me isn't too hard despite my attempts to dash away and use other shenadigans.
I'll keep working on it, but it is very frustrating.
I don't see many Roses in rotation so I thought I'd use her as a secondary to my Blanka (yes, I need to change that damned Ken avatar) to make ranked more interesting and varied for others.
Played a freaking krazy good dan player which absolutely stuck to me like glue and Rose had no seeming answer to the onslaught. Yes..........I said Dan. This guy was facking awesome.
Ya she's a big uphill battle for sure. Several things due to that:
-Very slow recovery/startup on her fireball. Makes trying to do Guile shenanigans a lot harder, and you can get punished easily if you throw them out carelessly.
-None of her specials are really safe. Fireball leaves you open for a good point of time, spiral is punishable on block and your opponent has to be really predictable for soul swing otherwise you'll get smacked outta it.
-No reliable wakeup.
-No reliable way to combo her ultra. The ultra is one of the better ones just to stick out there, but really that's a horrible way to rely on it.
-No damaging combos outside use of her super.
-Only one decent EX move.
Strengths-
-Long range pokes (F+HK, HK, HP, sweep). But there's other characters with pokes just as good but don't have as near as many weakness.
-Fairly good anti air (D+HP)
-The annoying c.mp. Has good range, hits low, leads to combos.
-A good cross up (j.mk).
-Good air attacks (j.hp seems to cover a good range)
Like I said earlier in the thread, I'm seeing her in the low tier for sure at this point. She just has too many really damaging weaknesses and too few good strengths to make up for it. If they gave her some more combo potential (Soul swing, and ultra) and/or a decent wakeup she'd be a lot more competitive.

4 of my last 5 ranked matches the other guy picked Blanka. Is Blanka big in Europe or something?
Anyone know where they sell cool / subtle SF related shirts? I saw a cool t-shirt in the pickup post thread, just a white shirt with a Blanka on the side; but when I look online I only see shit I wouldn't wear past the 6th grade.

Today was a good SF4 day for me.
I bought the beauty and shoto pack(i have a jap sf4) and my TE stick arrived.
It will probaly be a good week or two before i fight ranked matches again, definitely not in the zone of fighting with a stick.
The square button looked to be malfunctioning cus it would stayed loged in after pressing it. Less towards the end so i'm guessing it's just matter of getting the button worked in.
For the rest it's fantastic, i do seem to have more trouble preforming an ultra on a stick then on a joypad, lots and lots of training is needed.
The shoto pack is great, my favorite is definitely Ryu's. Gouken looks better then Gouki imo. Ken's alt in white is also quite cool.
Next week one of my main's will get his alt, Sagat. And my other main two weeks from now, Fei Long. I cant wait.

That's the color I use for Cammy, my main. All black with silver trimmings and platinum blonde hair; she looks like a pulp Nazi assassin! (With British accent, of course.) I wore Alt 10 last night when I got my five-online-matches-won-in-a-row trophy. I'm feeling good, even if my thumb is not! :lolSectus said:
I finally, FINALLY unlocked Gouken. I had tried everything suggested in this thread. What wound up working was setting Arcade to Easiest, one round, infinite time, then picking Ryu (having beat Arcade with him numerous times), and getting Perfects on the first two matches, then Ultra finishers on the following three matches, then after that I got another Perfect, followed by another Ultra finisher. I think I got Perfect against Seth, and then when Gouken appeared I whittled his HP down with the jump kick/low kick combo, and when he was weak I kept my distance and took enough hits from his hadoken to fill my revenge guage, at which point I KO'd him with my Ultra combo. Voila -- Gouken's unlocked!
I like the old man. Try watching a CPU vs. CPU match set to Hardest, seven rounds and infinite time, and pin Gouken against Akuma at Volcanic Rim. I swear, it's better than most shows on television. Fireballs everywhere, and it usually comes down to Round 7. Epic!

Observations on Matchmaking:
I don't know about you guys, but I feel the match making is a bit wonky sometimes but overall pretty great. PROS: When I select "more skilled" I tend to get characters that have the same or more BP and most of the time they really do kick my ass. I always notice a substantial increase in skill regardless of how much BP the person does or doesn't have. This makes me wonder if win %, number of medals, etc. are taken into account when setting up a match aside from pure BP status.
CONS: "Same Skill" however usually matches me up with a bunch of low level 0-500 BP scrubs when I'm in the 1000ish range (you know, just a step above scrub. It's awful because it's high risk/low reward. I know BP is still evening out since the game is two weeks old or so, but I really wish developers would account for this period. Nothing worse than losing against a 200BP SRK spamming Ken. I lost around 90BP when it takes 3 or 4 wins against that same KEN to get 90 BP. Plus I hate imagining the smile on that assholes face. "Hah, is this a 1000BP player? I must be really good." No, you're not.
Anyone think they should account for matches that are 2-1 versus those that are 2-0. More BP for the latter than the former seems fair no? They don't do that already I don't think. Also, 1 round bouts should be worth less.

Hmmm, Perfect 360.. My favorite stick, beats out japanese sticks anytime.
If you don't have access to that stick though, the Sanwa/Seimitsu sticks are much better than Happ sticks.

I admit i am not a heavy dhalsim user, so some of this might be a touch off.

edit: i'm starting to get the timing down for ex uppercut into ultra. i'm probably going to be a sagat player before this training session is through :/

Took Ryu into the training mode last night and he's just a solid character all around. I think either my timing with c.mk in combos may be borked or my button may be because it doesn't register when it should. =/ I'll take Gouken in today after work and decide between the two.
