So I finally hopped online against the masses, and I got games much quicker by entering arcade mode and waiting. All of the games were pretty laggy, though. I've had some great matches with no noticeable lag against a friend who doesn't live too close, so I don't think it is on my end.
If anyone wants to play against a meh Chun (sometimes Sagat) add me: Prodystopian. East Coast and I usually play between 7 and 10pm ET. on weekdays. I play on weekends, too, but at odd times.

Let's all switch to Balrog and Bison.

His Ultra goes through fireballs and shoto scrubs love to go to the back of the screen and fireball spam when the chips are down, when you see them doing this it's Ultra time!Charmicarmicat said:Could anyone give me some tips for dealing with fireball spammers as Abel? Ill never be any more than a below-average player, but i do feel that i have enough skill to deal with the spammers as im sure once i get to them they have no backup plan :lol Obviously his forward roll goes through them, but i seem to mess it up a lot, so apart from practising that what other options do i have? Although i do it more as a fluke, its very fun to wheel kick over them
Speaking of shoto scrubs, I had an accidental win tonight vs a Ken who was about to finish me off with a blocked dragon punch when I managed to pull out Gen's anti-air Ultra by mistake (hit kick instead of punch) and plucked Ken out of his just emerging dp for the KO
What the hell's so special about Ken any way? Is it his OMFGBBQ flaming dragon punch that makes people have a boner for him over Ryu?Duke Togo said:
Still get a lot of shoto players, always will, but I've found way more diversity this past couple of weeks, way less Akumas too - I think people have realised human opponents don't just stand there and let the Ultra/Super connect like the CPU does. I mainly stick to player matches though.

We could have Bison's front corporation buy up the jungle territory where Blanka lives and contract Dan to build a series of dojos that promote crappy skills for easy pickings by Akuma players.
Sakura could write a high school thesis about it. Poor girl needs our help, having been held back from graduating every year for the last decade.

Keeping a good distance is the best way to discourage fireball spammers. The recovery time for a fireball is quite long. At the correct distance your options are the roll, wheel kick or simply jump and kick them. If you have a super or ultra then spammers should be toast.

Now I feel predictable, because I went on a killing spree with Dictator before bowing out of Ranked for the time being. I hate that it completely screwed up my average char. usage stats, with Dictator in the 90s and everyone else in the 50-60 range.Teknopathetic said:
i wanna play this offline some -- i'm beginning to think i'm late on so many srk antiairs because of input lag. though trading is actually a good result for ryu. thing is my friends can barely manage wii sports, let alone sf4. maybe i'll hit the arcade tomorrow

Highly recomend you do, I've got quite a few friends to come over and play, and I can tell you offline my execution is SO much better. I feel like Im really hit and miss online, but offline I feel like a beast because I can do what I want WHEN I want to do it.

So is it safe to say for Gouken, his Parry Counter move is his best anti-air defense?
im new with him and i made a Ken quite today countering everything:lol

You do need to be careful with the counters, I tend to play VERY turtle with Gouken , so lot's of fireballs mixed in with the counter, I've screwed myself though with players that figure out what I'm doing and I just end up getting thrown over and over (I tend to play very drunk so I fall back on tactics I know). The number one thing I've found while playing Gouken: if you can anticipate what people are going to do with him, you win. If they see what your doing, your dead if they have skill.=/
I really love Gouken, and his counter is my favorite move by far, nothing better than a OH FUCK YOU now your half way across the screen for trying to attack me
And please god, if someone has found SOME kind of bread and butter combos with him PLEASE speak up!

LOL so true, I just beat my 3rd or 4th Blanka in like 40 some-tries. I felt kind of happy until I saw the guy had 0 BP :lol . Man Blanka is a nightmare for my Ryu The normal ball is fast as hell, the upward ball takes out all my jump ins, then he has the cross up ball if I'm in mid range of him. And he still has the slide and his crouching uppercut has tremendous reach.
Basically the guy has to be a total scrub for me to beat him. Guys who are 2,000 BP and above normally handle me pretty easily Even guys around 500-1000 BP can always edge out a victory against me. So basically everytime somebody chooses Blanka gainst me my thoughts are "fuck, I'm toast"

Thanks for the tips on Abel, still have a long way to go but I'll keep practising. I think my main problem is consistency, I saw one post with someone mentioning that the the inputs are a lot stricter in this game, and I think thats something I need to work on. Ive learnt to deal with Gief spammers at least which is quite a triumph for me as I'm normally useless at any sort of strategizing One question though, does Abel's ultra have priority over Gief's grab where he runs at you, and can that move be cancelled if they see me go for the ultra?
I played quite a bit tonight and really enjoyed myself, I thought at first I wasnt going to get into the game that much but I've turned around quite a bit. I lose a hell of a lot but I'm actually ok with it as long as it's a good opponent. My only worry is that people will think I'm a move-spammer mylsef as I use the roll into a grab, the wheel kick and the 3-hit special maybe a bit too much :lol

am i the only person that doesn't know how to play SF4 with a stick? is this normal? i just feel comfortable using a pad instead....so much for dropping the cash on a TE stick! ;(
edit: why is the music so rubbish in SF4? it's not as memorable as SF2. I just wish there was a way to play (remixed)SF2 music in SF4.

What's the deal with the dummy CPU sometimes blocking attacks in challenge trials? Like, I have trouble passing some very simple levels/moves (like Chun-li's rapid-kick thingy) because the CPU will block. Same thing happens with more complex combos in the trials--I'll get the first 2 or 3 parts in, and then they'll block the last move and it won't count. Frustrating. I can't beat Normal Trial Level 4 for anyone.

It's not just you, a lot of people including me are terrible with a stick compared to a gamepad. I actually bought a Hori FS3 just to see if it would change my mind. It didn't and basically became a waste of money. I bought a saturn pad now, if that doesn't work out then I'm just going to stick with the tried and true DS3 even though my left thumb won't be too happy with that.

You'll get used to it. I was a die hard d-padder until I started maining Guile. His ultra is nuts on a dpad but I have no problems using him with the stick.marwan said:am i the only person that doesn't know how to play SF4 with a stick? is this normal?

Oh yeah, i totally forgot the normal trials end when you get the required wins. You might want to listen to a podcast or something while doing the hard trials. It's very tedious and boring. On a side note I'm two medals shy of having all the achievements in SFIV. I need the 30 perfects and 30 time out/judgment medals. SF is probably the only game where I'd do such useless things to get all the achievements. I'm nearing 160 hours of play time.
