Im beginning to think Im not meant for SF. Ive tried for hours to pull off regular attack into a super combo with various characters and Im just to slow or my timing is way off. I connect on the first hit, but the super is always blocked. The 360 controller is bad, but my hands arent fast enough now, dont imagine a stick is going to change things.

This game needs an update desperately. It *needs* a true quick match. No room host. Default options. Blind character select.
I'm sick of getting cheesed because I didn't notice the fuckhead set the game to one round 30 seconds. It's the lamest shit ever. So is the stupid dance people do with each other in character select.
And getting kicked because of my title is lame as fuuuuck. Shit should not be displayed till loading the match.

Timing is tricky, often you have to buffer an entire command to finish right as a hit connects.Zertez said:
Honestly, a standard 360 controller is a poor choice to perform it on, you can't blame yourself.

There's this cheap trick I'm doing.
Thornado throw, dash in (and hold forward) hcb jab for another throw. Repeat.
If timed right you can get them every time. For some reason jab version has bigger priority so if you try other version the magic bubble can burst. Opponent can do wakeup teleports or ex moves with high invincibility frames.
Can be used to kill slam AI to death.
Also cHP, jump forward with mk, you'll land next to opponent both standing, right in the rage of hcb throw. Jumping with lp is worse as you're in frame disadvantage
trying to combo into throw sucks balls. The only thing semi reliable I noticed was cMP to jab hcb throw.
I had a really bad day. The worst. Lost 300+BP. Called it quits after some Ken sweeped me to death.
Played some matches with gaffer...sorry I can't remember the name - just prooves in how bad state of body and mind I am. Fun matches, but I played like an idiot. I couldn't believe what I was doing. Even thou by the end our match up looked something like 11 to 8 in my favor, I was the one that played worse. I had to rely on ultras to save my fucking ass.
I've take few days off work so maybe I'll get better.

I just play arcade mode with challengers allowed and it always seems to be what I set it to, you get a challenger every 20 seconds.Son of Godzilla said:

60 hours in a week, how is this even possible. I have put 23 hours into it since the 17th and that is obscenely high for me nowadays. Damn work.

It's actually not that bad, provided you use the analog stick. I guess it depends on what you are used to though. I played the fuck out of dreamcast fighters using the standard controller, the 360 pad is almost exactly the same thing.
Anyways, I'd say it has more to do with getting acclimated to the game than any controller. A lot of stuff is rather counter-intuitive.
I used to get challengers almost immediately, but now I have to do 1-3 matches vs cpu before it finds anything. And then get I booted by the fucking host. Joining quick matches is a bazillion times faster for me, even with the 3-4 Cannot Join strings.

Naw, you're cool. Less random shoryukens with Ken. A couple of those matches you could have had me if I hadn't just walked back and grabbed you.

Ordered a Tournament Edition Stick a few months ago, but European shipments have been delayed apparently, so I don't have a choice as of now.
I don't know for sure if I'll join tonight though. Lately I've been staying up 'til 6 - 7 am, so I need to play a bit less Street Fighter IV from now on.

Yeah, I know all that. But does she have an overhead move? One that hits dudes who are blocking low?Vdragoon said:

first off, a few gripes online.
-fix your filters capcom. When I search for players with the same skill, I don't want to play a 0 BP Ken.
-hey motherfucker why join my game when you have 1 bar
-blanka in lag is retarded because you can't react to blanka balls
I noticed a lot of ken hate here so I'm going to post my theory. Most ken players migrated over from smash. The worship Ken and so they picked the character with the same name. Unfortunately the majority of Ken players suck balls and have failed to figure out that there is no "ken combo" in this game.
SF players hate ken. SF players hate smash players. KEN = SMASH!??!?!?

Yea, there's no way that hits overhead. Pretty sure it'll crossup though, but goodluck not getting raped before that happens.Rummy Bunnz said:

Accept my friend request!

The SF4 game pad from Mad Catz blows. I actually prefer the DS3's d-pad to the looseness of the Mad Catz one, and the rubberzied grip manages to bother me more than it does provide a more solid grip. Not feelin' it.
Oh, and lo and behold, after half an hour of play, it's defective. Won't sync correctly, and when it does, tapping any direction on the pad results in the effect of that direction being constantly held. Amazing MC, bravo as always on your amazing accessories.

We're not, but we're both on the HD Remix list so we can easily invite each other.Spiderjericho said:
And I thought you were just being overly cautious by not doing those techniques because of the slight input lag.
I pretty much had to. You didn't hesitate to grab me with your Abel if I exposed myself for too long.Jube3 said:
Sectus and Saqs have some video's, though I wasn't doing very well against Saqs (I only won 3 out of 12). Rose's throws outrange Dhalsim's ever so slightly... :[TurtleSnatcher said:My Dhalsim is improving yet I'm not exactly doing air teleports yet.
I feel like I have a completely different play style from MicVlad. He tends to go all out and charges forward a lot while I turtle and play keep away and then sneak in with the super and ultras..
Would love to see more vids of MicVlad if anyone plays him
I've played good Vega's before, but yours was nerve-wracking. Really had to focus whenever you started poking and jumping around.AZ Greg said:
No problemo. We'll play another time; I could use some practice against Gen.yeb said:
Yeah, and I think that's partially because I get stubborn with my patterns more than I should. It also doesn't help that Guile negates my offensive approach, making him (along with Zangief) one of my worst match-ups as Dhalsim. Not that you should stop using Guile next time we play, though: figuring each other out and how to counter a specific style is part of the genre after all...C- Warrior said:Well, I guess. Maybe people should do what I'm doing considering I usually beat your Dhalsim 75% of the time. Unfortunately neither of us have recording stuff
All I can tell is that it's nigh-on impossible to execute on a normal controller. It's one of those moves where you can't settle for anything less than an arcade stick.TurtleSnatcher said:
I liked those battles. Very tricky Bison, and I actively had to try and deceive you, as well as use Dhalsim's long-range moves more efficiently.CcrooK said:
You've also become better at punishing mistakes, as well as using shorter moves if you're not entirely sure whether the stronger attacks will actually connect or not.Sectus said:
Belgium. I've played against other American (and even Japanese) people before without considerable lag, so it's possible that you might need a faster Internet connection to resolve those lag spikes against international players. You'll probably be fine against those who live in the same continent, however.Dizzy-4U said:
He is. If Honda lands a few good hits / Ochio's, Dhalsim's in trouble. Good thing he can dodge those headbutt torpedo's with ease though (not just with the teleport) including his Ultra / Super, provided you can predict them or trick the player into launch them early.arstal said:
Indeed. I think we'll get the most out of such a list if haunts would like to put one up in the OP, but that's his call of course.C- Warrior said:
Haven't met a good Chun-Li yet, but Ayo Jube knows his stuff with Abel. Solid all-around.
