After finally having a chance to put in time, got my BP up to 1590--strictly Abel. 17 hours of gameplay, I'd say 16 of it online. Hell, I haven't even bothered unlocking Gouken yet.

On Abel--wheel kick is his friend. EX one especially. Abuse his jumping MK on opponent wake-up or when pressing---a great, great cross-up. Finally feel like I'm getting good rythm with him even if every now and then I get "stuck" by a pressing shoto. Lack of a reliable anti-air really is evident in those situations. Tick throws seems to still be working on people--cross 'em up MK, cr.LK, Tornado Throw. Or variations thereof.

Haunts--if you read this--I sent you that friends invite last night on LIVE. illegalwiretap.

Anyone want to add me, I'll be back online tomorrow night full force--having tons of friends over, including my best friend who is all Zangief and is talking smack about his 2400 BP.

Also, I think I've played for like 2 hours now online and didn't face a single ken. I'm proud of you street fighter 4 community.

I dunno, it might just be because I'm using Fuerte and Vega and that's why they didn't abuse tiger uppercut - but they'll spam Tiger Knees like crazy against me though. :lol

I just noticed that 1x Ken punch, canceled into fierce shoryuken takes MORE than 1/3 of Sakuras total HP. Now I know why I hate playing against Ken as Sakura. The damage seems just unfair, I mean Sakura is a friggin close range fighter and has NO Hp and has to do SICK combos to do comparable damage XD.

Finally got it online last night, and ended with a pretty poor record. I thought my Zangief would be doing much better, but without parrying, he's not even close to as good as my Hugo (which is strange because they're at opposite ends of the tier spectrum). My surprise current main is Honda, who has that nice command throw which works well to punish in laggy conditions. I'm still going to try to find another character though.

My current problem is I just don't know how to control match flow, but that will come in time. Currently the game is under SF3rd Strike for me (pay no attention to the avatar), but it's still very fun.

Good work, Foxix.

Once scrub Sagat players found the beauty and cheapness of Tiger knee, they tend to forego moving around, blocking, jumping, and just spam it like crazy. :lol

Sakura has the same amount of health as Ryu/Ken/Guile etc which is 1000.

if you do a special move right as you are getting up, on your side of the screen will pop up a little thing saying 'reversal.' What this means is that you went from laying down->attacking with no point inbetween where you are vulnerable. Now, if the special move you did this reversal with is invinceable when it starts, the kick will go through you without hitting.

The other option is that your attack hits immediately without any time before the move activates, in which case you and the person sweeping you will hit each other at the same time and trade.

The timing on reversals is pretty lenient if you just mash it out. This is why you get a lot of ken's dragon punching when they wakeup, they can mash out a reversal and hit people trying to sweep them while they are getting back up. This is also why you can destroy many of the kens online by knocking them down and then walking up and blocking while they try to reversal dragon punch you.

Dedication man. Gotta commit if you want to be with the others on top. It's been a very long time since I've been active with a fighter. Last one was Tekken 5 on the PS2. Arcades were just barely starting to live during that time so the local tourny's we had were a godsend.

5 Akumas in a row. All have followed the same strategy of jumping back/air fireball and when they're low on health and I'm like near a Perfect, they hail mary a Raging Demon hoping they can catch me

BTW, when you search for ranked fights, is 3 the default amount that can be shown?

I'd like to later on. BSG is on in an hour and need to go get some dinner. Since you and I share the same characters (Bison/Balrog), I'd like to see how well I am against a mirror match of the two or visa versa. :D If you're on XBL that is.

Yes! My balrog needs work, but the Bison matches should be fun. :D

If you block it, check for this - if you block 2 hits from the tiger knee, you can punish with a throw, jab or any fast special moves.

If you block only one hit from the tiger knee, prepare to block more and anticipate a throw since Sagat recovers mighty fast before you can do anything.

I figured out why I've been having trouble using Focus Attacks lately.

My MP button only registers every other tap, and doesn't register when I hold it down.

That new stick needs to get here asap.

Sorry if this has been asked already but..
How do you unlock the Chun-Li, Ken ,etc Home clothes?

I've seen people around Home with them..and the game per se only has the Dan, Akuma, and Shadolo (sp?) shirts...

EDIT:
Nevermind, you have to buy them at the store..

I'm doing Balrog's trial 4 and I'm having issues doing Buffalo Head > Violent Buffalo. I understand that I have to do DB + UF to keep the charge but I still can't seem to hit his ultra after the Buffalo head.

How in god's name do you do Balrog's crouching MK into the Crazy Buffalo? Every time I think I've got it down Dan recovers just in time to block the super.

In frustration, no one can beat him either. One failed input on a run or something and there goes half your life if you play anyone decent. I love playing him, but I really despise how shitty he takes damage and how badly he dishes it out.

Try doing his Ultra with Charge DB > DF > DB > DF+3x P/K

It seems more reliable when I do it that way, especially on a joystick where it slams into each diagonal.

Haha yeah - agreed on that - he lives and dies on the run input. If he had just better health and does more damage, he'd definitely be a more viable character.

Yeah. A five game losing streak blowing a lot of my BP doesn't help either. Had to turn the game off.
