Yeah, I trip them up lots. Those fire balls + the jumping away until the walls are hit just piss me off. Even if I have no reason to try chasing them down (in the lead). I just want to fight.
I'm so glad Blanka have so many ways around fireball spamming now. SSFIIt HD was painful with that. "Haduken x3", (Blanka gets over the last hurdle to stop the source. Spammer jumps in and intercepts with a in air fk, or crouching fk).

Ugh, no. BP and w/l record should not be shown before a match. Shouldn't even be able to see the opponent's name or icon. HDR had the right idea. Making all this stuff visible in ranked just encourages exploitation.

So I played MicVlad a few days ago, he raped me and made me look like a scrub
although I didn't sleep for almost a day and I was drinking beforehand, I lost a tournament the night before so I stayed up to practice.
bad timing.

Not being able to see name and title would be fucking stupid. I want to be able to message and/or add friends after for particularly good matches. Or I want to remember their name because I had a fun match and will look for their name to come up again. Or I will remember their name as a douchbag disconnector/30 second rounder and never play them again.Rummy Bunnz said:
And what would even be the point of titles if others couldn't see them.

This is pure win. I just noticed that his throw doesn't even do any damage. People never see it coming either. I've gotten so many rage messages from people when I finish em off with it.
Best one was a scroto who said something along the lines of:
"Haha fucktard that throw does't even do any damage... Oh what the!!11""

I should unlock Gouken. I didn't bother unlocking him and Akuma because I'd never use them. I wouldn't have unlocked Ryu and Ken either. I won't use Sagat as well.

It seems like there's at least a sliver of hope for that due to the lobby having "1 on 1 Lobby" at the top. Point me to the other lobbies!
But if it's pay DLC (not game changing) yea screw them again.
I wonder if psn dlc unlock keys require the account that bought it to stay on the ps3. If not, that would be broken. One person could get the dlc and share it with everybody. DLC just kinda work it's way into your game save or something. No owner is shown on it.

Well, if you don't want to get caught with throw -> ultra, stay the hell away from Gouken when he has meter and if he gets close, tech his throws.
Its not like the throw's an untechable command throw (ie SPD, Oicho throw, Tornado throw).

Yes! gg Timedog! I had fun playing Micvlad earlier too. Sorry I haven't been using my mic. I feel like a weirdo talking to my TV when I've got peoples in my house. Plus I get even sloppier when I use it.
I dunno if I messed with my system settings or if it's SF4 specific but I really love how I can't understand any voice chat but I can tell if my opponent's flipping out. I destroyed this 3000BP Sagat yesterday and at the end he was screaming like crazy. If I could understand him I probably woulda felt kinda bad but with the voice mixed so low it sounded like a Popeye cartoon. It was great.
I do keep an eye out for guys I had good matches with and usually try and rematch but I'd gladly trade that away if it meant I didn't have to deal with all the idiots who boot you because you have a fancy icon or title. There's a reason why half the players don't use icons or titles anymore.

I said before the match. They'd still be listed in your recent players so you can easily add or message them. You'd still see their icon and title in-game. Or in the lobby. Disconnectors weren't an issue in HDR because if they DC'd they took a loss and in SF4 they should lose BP. 30 second rounders shouldn't be an issue if you're using the filters. And if you wanna replay a dude you can easily do that in a player match.slayn said:

Wha? I have never, not once, been booted unless my connection to them was low (1 bar, sometimes 2) I've never even *heard* of people doing that. I often specifically connect to people with fancier titles in the hopes that they are a better player.Rummy Bunnz said:

It happens. Again, there's a reason why so many people don't use the icons or titles. I never join games that are less than 3 bars and I've gotten the boot quite a few times. So have my friends, and there were a bunch of people bitching about it earlier in the thread. It's less common once you get more BP but it does happen. Hell, today I had a close match against another Cammy who had around 2500BP. Saw their name on the list afterwards, joined their game, bam, get kicked. I didn't grief and I didn't D/C and there was no lag so there was no good reason to kick me. It was pretty bullshit. I don't think you should be able to cherrypick your opponents in ranked. The way HDR handled it was ideal.slayn said:

You can punish these type of players to hell. EX ball is your best friend against projectiles...especially the players that spam without thinking. Against Akuma, vertical EX ball will dissuade him from doing too many air hadokens.
Once you are ahead you can turn the tables and turtle all day against shotos with Blankas new D + PPP crouch move. I love Blanka in this game.

I tried both balls, they fall short in distance. The players only have to worry about me when they are trying to get to the other side, or if my balls can reach them (heh). You know, now that I think about it, they might have been trying for that time over trophy. The only one that was able to slow my chase down was Akuma. Hop is faster than their back jumps I think, and since I'm trying to catch up with them the ball is out until I stop for 2 seconds. It don't matter anyway, I think it's the trophy.

Funny thing is, before I saw Haunt's video I never cared about Vipers. I think I've probably faced < dozen in 200 matches and I've definitely won a large percentage of them. But after seeing Haunt's video I shit myself when I see someone go to Viper now :lol

Between my Abel, Rose, Rufus and Gen I'm really not losing any vs shoto matches at the moment, unless they are really outstanding. I put this down to all the practice the Ken players are giving me! :lol It's become second nature to make them whiff a dragon punch now. I am having a couple of problems with other match-ups though:
Abel vs Zangief - Abel doesn't have much chance to get in, lariat has so much priority over everything and Abel's grab range is laughable in comparison. Trading blows leads to a quick win for Zangief.
VS a good Guile player - Guile is my main dreaded opponent at the moment. He can really be full-on because blocking his normals (like c.HK) gives him another chance to charge, meaning jumping is a no go (flash kick) and he's covered on the ground by sonic boom or any other number of things. And then there's the kind that turtles if they've got a few hits in first. Thinking about it, of my mains Dhalsim is good against Guile, but anyone without a fireball I have problems with.
I haven't fought any Akumas for a while, I wonder if interest in him has died down as players realise we won't just stand there and let his Super/Ultra connect like the Arcade Mode computer opponents do!

I played some matches with Mr. Jared.
I won one of eleven.
Random kept giving me Ryus and I can't play him for shit. Gen and Sim too.

Phatsaqs defeats Timedog 5 matches to 0.
Most of the round were pretty close though. A few times I the matches were 1-1 and I was up on you in the third, but then I'd just choke and try the same tactic over and over hoping you'd fall for it one of the times and get me the win. I think that's something I need to work on. Also my blocking sucked on some of your combos if I got ahead in health because I was hoping I could find space between hits for a throw, I think I need to work on that too. What do you think I could work on to improve?
Was lag bad on your end?

Got mah gamepad.....can actually pull off super/ultras now....still got my shit handed to me so yeah. With the pad I can actually use some charge characters now, had an actually close Sakura / Chun-Li match ( which I lost because i got greedy and try to jump in and got shoryuken'd in the face.) still at 0 bp's and I don't even want to know my win/loss....the Detroit Lions could proabally beat me. But now I feel like I can actually pull of some moves now. Just got to remember with charge characters I should take my time instead of RUUUUUUUUSHHH IN GEEEEEET OWWWWNED. I should have my own flowchart.
