Just learn how to avoid his throws and you're golden. Every time you see an spd coming, jump straight up and start a combo from there. don't do ex anything on wakeup, either jump or block depending on the situation. Just learn the setups they use for spds and it should be easy. if he spams lariats, wait until the lariat is almost over and sweep, for some reason c.hp works at some ranges too. always antiair him with c.hp. Keep your combos simple.

At first I thought the statistics were counting ranked/player matches (since it said that I played millions of Ken and Ryus :lol) but then it said that I played Seth a bunch of times. I've only played Seth twice online so that couldn't be right.
ETA: Also, I practiced blocking Blanka's ultra in training mode. If he's right beside you, blocking that fucking move is very hit or miss (usually miss :lol)

are you blocking low when he pounds the ground, then high when he goes up in the air? When he's rolling you can block low or high.

The dude is awesome. He has a great Abel and Cammy. I pulled out my Fuerte and Vega who are like my only 2 good charactersHaha.. Good games dude.
I'm proud of myself.. I just hit 2450 or something in BP. My highest yet. All using Fuerte! WOO!
Me and him often have Abel discussions. I can't wait to eventually play him
What the......I just got the "playing to win" achievement....and I didn't win 10 matches in a row. (stats still show 8 as longest streak).....
Well El Fuerte ftw, I say! 2515 BP and cooking upwards!
Shotos! Or to be more precise Ryu or Ken. People can complain as much as they want, but they are both pretty good starting points. You also can try charge characters. Boxer can be pretty easy to learn and is pretty good.

but... the cannon spike is way safer than the shienkyaku!HiResDes said:
What's the great advantage of the command throw? What kind of free combos can you get with it?
So I played a bunch of Blanka players in a row today. Since I also pick Blanka, I found it fun to play them. I can see them using the same strategies I am so I have to adjust and think of how I would beat myself. Very interesting. I guess I beat about half of them.
One problem with this game is people. After about 10 minutes of playing online I start to see the same names over and over in ranked match.. and what I've noticed is the people I've beaten before will just drop out when they see my name again. Pretty lame.. they are probably going for the 10 wins in a row achievement but it's still annoying.

viper is a really hard character to learn this game with. She doesn't take damage very well and doesn't become really effective until a decently high level of mastery. For learning the basics I would probably recommend Ryu -- he just seems like the basic, solid street fighter character. He also has quarter circle rotation moves, but they're pretty essential to the game so it's something you'll just have to stick it out through. If you're interested in trying out a character with charge moves as opposed to rotations, it seems like Blanka is fairly beginner friendly in that respect.

wait... cammy doesn't have an overhead? :-( :-( :-(
Damodar said:It's probably not counter-picking, probably just scrubs
I thought so too until I started taking high ranking Akumas down. And its pretty easy to tell they don't main the guy, that and I always pick my character first and they change character they were hovering over over to Akuma when I select.
I was just playing against an El Fuerte player, and he/she kept spamming a body slam move everytime my character was standing up after a fall, and he/she was hitting pretty much every time. Anyone else come across that? Is there a way to avoid it? (I was playing as Chun Li by the way)
Otherwise I'm loving this game

If Fuerte does it rigth as he stands next to you, it'll be a cross-up I think. Try blocking the opposite direction.

That was me.
I have to blame the lag for that. At least I think it was a pretty laggy game and it is impossible to play El Fuerte properply with that much input delay, so I resort to the same thing over and over.
That said:
Block high in the other direction. I had plenty of problems against Chun-Li and her super long cross up legs, till I started to realize that all of them will hold down/back all the time. (don't know much about chun-li so it is learning by doing^^) Easy to press her.
Spinning Bird Kick. I don't play Chun-Li, so I don't know if it comes out fast enough on wake up, but if it hits, it will create enough room for to get your game going.
Also play as aggressive as possible. Don't let the Fuerte player do his thing. Walking backwards in the beginning, just isn't that good of an idea imo.

EX SBK is instant IIRC.

EX Spinning Bird. Specific frames are hard to master, but it's quite possible to charge while lying down, and as soon as you see El Fuerte about to jump press UP and the MK+HK for a beautiful timed EX Spinning Bird that also works as a great wake-up for everyone

Haha no way! :lol What are the chances eh?
Thanks for the advice in any case guys (especially from the very person I was playing against, haha), thinking back I can see how blocking in the other direction would work. He's a confusing character to fight against, he moves all over the place!
I didn't know you could charge while lying on the ground as well, I'll have to keep that in mind for the future!

edit: I've found that watching videos of high level play with commentary can help new players with strategy, even if it's from another SF game.
I beat most people who have <1000bp, but struggle against Sagat with Rose. Rose fireball reflector doesn't seem to come out fast enough.
I've also noticed people who beat me seem to have all E's as their rank.
I always rank
Attack: A
Defense: C
Tech.: C
when I beat people with Rose.

you are the fucking man... all this time I was doing the dash way too late and I never would have known. Thank you.Teknopathetic said:
ah good finally my first hate message on xbox live:
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA you will never get my BP. QUIT OUT!"
as pathetic as that message is.. the really funny thing is that he never quit on my end and my BP score actually did go up. however i dont even give a shit about BP cuz i just play for fun. I guess playing for fun is out of style nowadays.

Can anyone teach me the timing on doing Balrog's headbutt into ultra? I can't never seem to get it hit more than once. I've tried also doing it as fast as I can but nothing comes out.
Haunts' superguide does say that it should be possible but I just can't find the timing.
Any tips?

you need to change up the ultra a little. when you hold down a kick button you do a hook instead of a straight, so you want to hook, straight (whiff), hook, hook, finisher. If they're in the corner you need to whiff twice I think.Osaka said:
