IMO use your fireballs to zone more (specifically lp fireball) and use standing hp/hk to keep people out. That's what you should be doing when Gouken has (ultra) meter because one throw and its 60% of your health gone.

oh, and no random ultras. only do that if you know for sure that the chip damage is going to kill him.

Goukens Ultra after a throw is so hard to fully hit though .. 85% of the time you will get that shortened version where it will only do about 30% max.

Thanks all!
I will start mixing it up more with throwing and work mor eof her pokes and fireballs in to my game.
I still have terrible timing with her ultra.

I don't really use any of these characters, but I had to get them all anyway. Safari Blanka does make me want to take him up!

Due to people wanting to bitch constantly and scream 'cheap cheap!', I've come to the habit of leaving my mic unplugged until the selection screen, so that no one will know I have one. Because of this I think I may have just off-handedly received the best compliment of the day.

Nasty McFly (Sagat) vs my Rose. It was back and forth, and amidst the usual XBL slurs and insults he calls me a stick-using faggot and claims he's using a 360 pad which is why he's doing so bad.

I have a stick!?

Yeah, that brought a smile to my face as I beat him. Does this officially graduate me from the low ranks to semi-mid tier? Because that would be cool if it did.

(I'd probably lose horribly if I used a stick, btw)

I like how people assume sticks contain mystical powers that magically improve the skill of it's user.

If you're bad, you stay bad until you practice.

Pretty sure if you plug in your mic during the char select screen or anything.. you can hear a slight static on the other side and hear them plug it in.

I've bought the other three so I know I'm getting this as well. Blanka looks kind of cool, can you pick other colors for his safari kit?

really disappointed with Akuma's alt though

Yeah, it's not worth talking to most of the folks you hit. Got one guy the otehr day who bitched that I was turtling with Dhalsim, whined that I was using unsafe moves, told me I was terrible etc.

All while his Ryu kept doing fierce dragon punches from out of range so I'd just walk up and throw him.

Then he got pissed and stalkerish when I wasn't interested in playing him again.

I don't think that's a really good argument, since no matter how hard something seems to be, there will always be players out there that will master it.

Its just like when people were shrugging off roll cancelling in CvS2 as being "too hard". Eventually players mastered it and started using it.

I feel like Gouken's throw -> ultra isnt very hard to hit.

I only use mic when playing with people from GAF, PA, and SRK.

I never use mic for random online play - too much chance of dicks and whiners.

It looks like it's based on the beginning part of Enter The Dragon. He's also got some claw scars on his chest and face. Han was here. :)

Just like viewtiful_dru said, gotta use LP fireball more, especially after you knock them down. The instant stomp is something you'd do if you're really kicking their ass. You seemed a lot better than the other guy so it was fine, but normally you'd want to throw a LP fireball and then mixup between a low hit, overhead, or dash > legs.

EX legs combos were good, but you need to be able to combo to ultra if they're in the corner. That's basically Chun's main objective. 2nd objective would be to bait a fireball and ultra through it. No random ultras!

You're jumping forward way too much. It's not that bad against Gouken, but normally you'd want to jump straight up and hit HK, I don't think I saw this at all. Just need to play safer and turtle more. Overall pretty good though, nice combos and stuff.

A couple of other random things, HCB+K is very safe, you can follow this up with cr.MK>kikkoken without too many hassles. LP (standing or crouching) is +3, it's excellent for setting up throws. The only mega unsafe moves that Chun has is ultra, EX SBK, and upkicks, so make sure that if you use these, they're guaranteed through combos or anti-air (for EX SBK), or used as punishers on their unsafe moves.

OK so I'm really confused as to what I'm supposed to be seeing in this Gouken pic. I see the same thing I see in Sakura's arm. Am I doing it right!?

Of course landing it is easy.

But for it to go into cut scene and get 3 large hits then up needs perfect timing. Not saying its impossible but the chances this early or half the people you go against of perfecting that will be a bit rare at least for a little while longer. Its like throw.. wait a split second then ultra.. Most seem to throw and ultra instantly after thus causing a different hit.

Most usually hit the multi hit shoryuken part of it where it looks like it scrapes your opponent up almost like a EX Uppercut.

TBH to hit the full Ultra off the throw is one of the easiest things in SFIV. I think Ive missed it maybe once in all the times ive messed with it.

It is screw-up-able, but it's not that difficult. Throw, master the art of waiting half a second, ultra!

Hi Haunts, do you know the timing of doing shoryuken -> FADC -> full ultra with Ken?
I've seen it a couple of times in JP videos, so it seems to be a really awesomely powerful tool to have for Ken.

I usually do the ultra a bit too early where it only does the last part of the ultra (the shoryuken part).

I miss it a bunch.. I seem to either always be a hair off too late to get the full one in.. Or a hair off too early and only shave him with the uppercut.

Maybe its just me.. But I also notice a lot of Goukens I face do the exact same thing.. thats why I through up a %

Comics, serious business!
I think I've peaked at ~1,400-1,600 BP.

My win rate is about 70%. When I win I earn between 20 and 30 points (average of 25).
A loss results in about 100 BP being taken away.

I win 7 in a row (70%), receive 175 points (7 x 25).
Then I lose, resulting in -100 points.
Then I win 2, gain back 50 points (now at 125).
Lose 1, now back to 25 points.

And so on and so on endlessly treading water at my current level. My wins go up but my BP stays the same. I need to breeeeak throouuuugh!

Use HP SRK, FADC after the 2nd hit, then the full ultra connects.
