Yea I have the same problem, even when I filter for "More skilled then me" I'm getting people with 500-700 less BP then me and I only have 1300.

Liar. Nobody has 1300 BP. Because then they would show up when I search for matches, instead of people with fucking 0 BP.

I'm thinking this game has TruSkill going on in the background and me fuckign around too much has lowered my standing permanently.

Also I accidentally bought a costume pack. Goddammit. The accidental part being the misfiring of synapses firing in my brain that left me staring at the screen while my body navigates the menu of it's own accord and confirms the unholy deed.

Yeahhh my playtime is something obscene too. But I imported! That's my excuse. Also my remote keeps screwing up and not turning off my 360. So I will knock a few hours off for that!

I dunno how many matches I've played. I haven't checked. I know I am pretty damn high on the ranked wins leaderboard, which I'm kinda ashamed of. It wouldn't be so bad if I could keep my BP over 2000 for more than a day.

I actually played you in my first online match. It was brutal. I'd forgotten to remap the player 1 controls so I only had hard kicks! So much shame. Those first few days were ruff.

God damn computer is pissing me off in Normal Survival (challenge 6 or 7, IIRC). Everything is fine until Abel's rolling ass gets to you. His reach is just like Zangief's. I try to grab and miss, and after my missed grab (and no one has moved yet), Abel is throwing me.

I'm just gonna pick Zangief, spam the lariat move and roll the joystick around like crazy hoping for his power grab moves. I can't do this with Guile. The computer says, "Oh, he pressed this button so that means I gotta do this move." Fuck that.

Have you tried dashing toward him (flick right twice on the D-PAD/analog) and then throwing? I had a hard time with him too until I did that.

Other than that, I don't recall having so much fun with a game in a very long time. I spent a great deal of Sunday afternoon playing online and completed Arcade with Ken before bed last night. Can't wait to dig deeper!

[Timedog]

The cross up stuff in this game is fucked.

I'm playing a zangief online. I destroy him the first match, in the second I have 85% life and he has less than 10%. He knocks me down, the first hit he got on me the whole match, bringing me to 85%. He then immediately jumps over me while i'm on the ground. I try to reversal his shitty command throw attempt but it won't work. He command throws me 4 times in a row, each time jumping over me when i'm on the ground. I then figure out that you have to input the motion for the reversal to the OPPOSITE SIDE if the other player jumps over you. So even though you may be waking up facing towards the right after he jumps, you have to input the controls as if you were waking up facing towards the left, because he jumped over you while you were knocked down. This is fucked up and needlessly confusing. I've also ran into plenty of times where I know I blocked opposite during a crossup and it didn't register. I don't know if its because of some new fucked up cross up system, or input lag for that though.

Anyways, I took the 3rd match because he tried to pull the same crap but I knew what was up.

 

[Yasser]

cross up rant

iirc this is how they've always been?

 

[akachan ningen]

I don't think so. In the past, if you did a DP on wakeup it would whiff if the other dude did a cross up. In SF4, it seems to auto-correct, at least for online play. Even wakeup ultras auto-correct.

Actually, this was brought up during the early days of the loketests and after the official release.

You don't need to do any reversals, actually, doing that will get you thrown. Just straight up (do NOT jump back or towards) and the throw will whiff.

that's how i remember it being. i've not noticed auto-correcting in sf4 but then again i'm using sbk with chun on wake-up so it doesn't matter what side the opponent is on

 

[the androgyne]

I fought a Zangief who EX piledrivered me over and over when i kept trying to cross up .. the crossup kick doesn't connect, piledriver.... try for a sweep, piledriver, try for a combo, piledriver. The damn piledriver.. i reckon the code is like "if opponent = anywhere + doing anything, then piledriver connects. Not only that but his bloody lariat is infuriating when spammed or used as anti air, he's got a basic crouching punch that knocks out anything in the air, the green fist of doom marches across the entire screen in a fraction of a second..

NO MORE ZANGIEFS!

Do a sweep, just hit them with the tip of your foot. If you're too close, you'll get hit.

You ran towards me a lot and it seemed like you was wide open for attack. You was so fast at times and seemed to have a gogogo fighting style that my best bet was to shock you. Especially with that overhead cockamamie stuff [/John McKain]. I'm not used to what El Furte can do.

Need more experimentations. Wish there was a rematch option in online (is there?). No loading if the people are expecting to pick the same character.

I think he was moving too fast he didn't have time to react. Like already in the air ready to fall into thunder type stuff. The only opponent I'd sit there with thunder going for a while is E. Honda. Darn that torpedo.

Oh and I take back what I said about thinking Capcom's survival and timetrial must be thrown in, and having the colors locked away in there, with titles, and other things (who use taunts?) was a thrown together. They have interesting things that remind me of the whole world tour setup. The buffs, disabilities, and the opponents buffs/hidden gauges/disabilities is some good stuff (I really liked the hidden gauge thing). Now that's fun. I wish they went a bit further with it though, but I guess it's enough since the original didn't have it in the game at all.

are you using a fireball character? I just spam fireballs (not in an easily detectable pattern), then when he goes into lariat, I dash forward and trip. On wake up i make sure i'm out of range of the lariat and fireball on wakeup, if he lariats, trip again, if he blocks, jump back and start spamming fireballs again. If you make your fireball pattern too predictable he'll just jump over them or use his green fist of doom. If you make it unpredictable there's a good chance you can hit them with an unblocked ex fireball also. Most zangiefs i've played (i'm at a lowly 1500bp) are very susceptible to trips even when they're not doing the lariat, probably because they're constantly spamming SPD or other command throws. Try to trip them from a distance so your toe just barely touches them, I think this is outside SPD range. It's funny when you confuse the heck out of them and they don't know what to do and you just walk up and throw THEM. I probably have the best W/L record vs Zangief than any other character.

Blocked green hand is not safe. You can throw or combo him everytime on block. Any crouching kick should hit lariats up close.

That said, I wouldnt bother trying to crossup Gief too much.

 

[Monkeylord]

Wish there was some achievement tracking in this. I'd love to know how many more super-combo finishers I still need to get for that achievement (I swear I've done more than 50, but it seems not) and how many more flashy finishers before I get Sunny Daze.






Also, I fucking hate waiting in lobbies with no audio cue that someone has joined. Means I have to stare at the screen for 30mins and then give up and go back to arcade mode and pray someone joins from there.

I'm having the same online troubles as others have complained about in this thread, on 360 in the UK and all my online settings are optimal (NAT to open, ports forwarded, etc).

Yeah, i'm using Ryu. And i hear you, i do.. stay away, fireball, unpredictable, trips. I just feel like i have to be cheap to win.. and frankly i find it boring and annoying to play like that

On a side note, why can't you rematch in ranked? I guess it's the same reason you can't purposefully fight friends in ranked (could easily manipulate BP).. but damn, i don't mind losing a fight but i HATE that it takes me back to the beginning and i'm up against someone else! Let me play the person I lost against again, and learn a bit or better, get some revenge!

 

[CPS2]

You can backdash out of Gief's SPD and ultra as well. If he attacks during the crossup and you can't reversal it, FADC. Basically any time you're near him is really unsafe though. Even the matchups where he loses badly, he can win easily if he's in close range. Matchup ratings only really apply if you're at the right distance.

I didn't know there was a trophy for doing supers, and ultras. I got them by surprise (they didn't unlock anything though.

And about the waiting in lobby, playing arcade mode with best of 5, and max time with the cpu on very hard is a good way to wait. You get warmed up and interrupted for a match quick based on what you set for network play (ranked games, connection, etc). This is the best way to do it until capcom fix it. Quick play should auto match people, and quickly. Just throw them into a room, not a list of 3 people fighting in a game already. Same for rank. That list of 3 room is useless. The connection with 1 bar seems fine to me. I never check their bp anyway.

Ah, hope you get that connection under your belt. Nah I'm not taking it as an excuse. You did run straight into my side without doing anything one time. I only saw lag on my screen during that match I picked Sakura. This net engine must be like gears where the host don't see much lag if there's some there.

Whatever it is it has to be with the net code right? Resistance2 works for you, and it seems other games might as well. Where are you anyway? Spanish speaking right?

Do the arcade mode thing. Set your network filter and make it so people can join you when you play arcade mode. They won't be able to kick you and they'll be kicking down doors to join you. Make the arcade mode hard, and best of 5 rounds. You'll get a challenger before you know it. If you don't, I don't know what the deal is. I'm not sure where those challengers come from though.

For me online play is usually solid, but I have had a number of very slow matches.

I have found the least frustrating thing to do is just go into Arcade Mode accepting new challengers; Quick Match is completely broken for me, and creating a match sometimes leaves me sitting for minutes waiting for someone, and even when I do get someone they will leave before the match starts quite a bit.

Dash away and block high. Then punish.

...or

Dash away and jump straight up with a high kick.


Either always seem to work for me, but timing is crucial. You only have a very tiny window to pull it off.
