I try and stay in their face, I'm probably playing way lower skilled Vega's than you, but it kinda works
Finally cracked 3000 BP I haven't played ranked in a while (since I get the same experience with custom searches in player matches) so I'm happy.
Blanka players.....remember: always HOLD your Ultra. I was playing a Dhalsim that teleported right on top of my Ultra in both rounds. In Round 2, it killed him :lol It was fuckin hilarious. He did the two-sided Ultra+super combo (by teleporting) on me so he deserved it.
Oh yeah...I played the worst fucking Ryu to get my 3000. He had around 5K and all he did was use the Focus Attack. The only redeeming thing about him was that he knew how to FADC pretty well but I annihilated him. I thought he was gonna drop midway through Round 2.
I also played a Gouken that could do that insane juggle (that takes half of your life). Thank God for Blanka's Ultra and nervous opponents

This game really does surprise me about how playable it is with one red bar of latency. I know it's not really an option for you grizzled tourney vets, but for a casual like me, it does the job just fine; I'm able to have fun with it.

So here's a mind blown moment for me. I NEVER knew this until today. If you block relative to your opponent, then you'll block everything.
I was playing a dhalsim and he was abusing me with his lp yoga fire -> tiger knee teleport -> jumping back fierce punch, back s. mk, yoga flame. I'd fall for it everytime, then some onlooker was like, dude, block in his direction and the yoga fire won't hit you. It made the match 12039812x easier!!!
Is this a general street fighter rule?

yep, I've been loving that move since cvs2. it's amazing what some people do when blanka is just sitting there spinning.

I hold back to block and down-back to block low attacks.

Yeah I just didn't know holding away from your opponent blocked stuff BEHIND(i.e. yoga fire balls) you too lol.

BTW I just came back from Buktooth's place (got 5th in their ranbat, yayuh) and he beasts with like anyone he wants. I couldn't touch his Fuerte (he got 10 hit rsf combo on me just cuz he could), Cammy, Viper, or Sagat. The man's ridiculous. I didn't know Cammy had a tiger knee cannon spike jump in also, really good pressure tool.

I thought that was standard for all fighting games. In GGX, you need to do it a lot.

Well, I'm a little more acquainted with fighting games that DON'T have fireballs (ie tekken, virtua fighter) lol
I'd venture to say that SF4 is the first SF I've ever been decent at, if even that.
Just don't get knocked down. :lolAZ Greg said:GGs to everyone I played tonight.
Dammit Arde, those new tricks you've added since our last fight made your Fuerte extra irritating. Good shit though, I was completely mind fucked most of those matches. Your short slide and little overhead twirl kick have some insane recovery. I tried all sorts of things to punish them on block, but after getting thrown countless times I finally just settled on going for the tech. I need to play that match way more patiently. When I sit back and poke the match flows much better for me. I'm just all messed up from rushing down shotos all day. Then again, when I was playing smartly, I found a way, without fail, to get hit by your ultra at the worst times. It was almost like your Ultra was mashing me back down into the ground before connecting.
I'm gonna have to go hit up the Vega match-up advice thread at SRK. There's probably something simple I'm missing in the match-up. IIRC, Fuerte is actually one of Vega's better match-ups. Then again, that probably just means 5-5.
But seriously though, don't - if you notice when you win, it's usually because you poked me to death with a side of wall-jump cross-ups or izuna throws.
Obviously be careful if I have EX meter, since that means I can absorb 2 of your pokes and then knock you down with a splash or throw.
When you have life lead, just treat Fuerte like an impotent mini-Gief - keep your distance and poke him to death - avoid rushing in for the kill.
Both players who I once thought were immortal, Yeb and Grifter, have lost in the SFIV tourney I'm holding. Gen lost by a hair (2-3; 13-10) to Ryu and Grifter kind of got close (1-3; 7-10) to beating a Chun Li player. They're both in the loser's bracket where they'll have to face off within two to three matches if they want to make it back to the winner's circle.
I'll be announcing another prized tournament tomorrow if anyone else from GAF is interested in playing as this one is coming to a close with only 10 or people left in it. If so, you'll have to PM me.

Found out something nice for Balrog:
When your enemy tries to FA you on wakeup and the distance is right you can Fierce Headbutt him, hitting his Super Armor, going OVER him and landing behind him while he does is Focus attack. Doesn t work always, but when it does, its quite a nice thing since you get a free Combo.

Someone tell me there's an easy way to counter El Fuerte's Propeller Tortilla. That shit's too fast to be an unblockable.

Crouching avoids Fajita Buster too.. But not propeller.MNC said:The R1 moves (Propeller, Fajita Buster) can only hit when the enemy is on the ground, so jump!

One red bar = 4 SCIV bars. Seriously, that game's netcode was an abomination.
Uploading some matches today between Young Legends and myself.. watch me make bad decisions and miss combos and get punished severely for it! :lol

Sorry man, I had to leave for dinner afterwards, catch ya tomorrow.
Good see that I'm not the only one having issues with Dhalsim's fuckin trial that involve back+MK > yoga flame (turned up a lot of Goggle hits). Everything else is relatively easy but there's just somethin I ain't doin right.
After completing 5 character's Normal & Hard trials, this is the first time that I quit one. I'll try again, of course. This combo just seems unnecessarily difficult.
ETA: I found some advice:
"ok i found an unbelievably easy way to do this. b+MK, fd>b+LP. yep that's it. make sure you do not press down or down-back. after the back+MK, you go to down-forward input and then IMMEDIATELY to back+LP."
Hopefully it'll solve this problem of mine.

Since you already know to use back+mk, it's just a matter of speed.

Finally finished Fuerte's normal trial 4. Never had the patience to do the third part after doing that horrible second combo, but today they both connected pretty fast.
Now only hard trial 4 and 5 left, but I always miss the timing on one of the cancels on trial 4. I hate that stuff.

Nice, now all you got to do now is, win the 2nd round!
Advice but from a scrub, you should totally back off once he has his ultra and block more to punish his shoryuken when he is trying to set up his ultra and if he uses FADC to get out that, it uses up his EX bar and once thats gone then go Tiger Knee him, and you most likely get a grab on you, so thats better then a Ultra hitting you. Also you seem to be the one always attacking even when you have the lead and getting punished a lot because of it, use the full time more and remember your fireballs are way cooler then his. Your Sagats looking WAY better then the last time I saw it and all that is missing is you setting up your ultra.
Archie said:
Doesn't that just make you wish each player's BP was listed beforehand? I'm at a healthy 1,300, and fighting newcomers still yields around 20BP.
In those cases, it rarely feels like I've earned it though; I usually prefer playing people around my level of experience, or better.
Sanjay said:
Oh yeah you're 100% correct. I was rewatching the videos and that is the main thing I saw. I think thats just a bad habit of mine is being overly aggressive. I love Tiger Knee set ups and all the fun stuff Sagat has so it takes a lot of restraint for me to back away from that sort of stuff.
Also I need more throws in my Tiger Knee pressure strings. Ill do strings all day w/o dashing in for a throw when I could be getting some free damage since they are scared of the tiger knee.
YakiSOBA said:
Yeah thats what it's for.
Example: Ryu - Shoryuken -> FADC -> Ultra
Here's a video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zhe7PgIhBOc
It allows you to cancel into other moves that usually would be blockable
In this case Shoryuken was canceled into an Ultra
Man i practiced SRK > FADC > Ultra with Ryu for a LONG time in training mode yesterday...I couldn't pull it off successfully once. I can do the first two parts, but my fingers just get completely tied when it gets to inputting the ultra and the opponent just falls to the ground.
Its supposed to be easier on a stick right?

haunts said:
I play on a pad, and it's not easy. I can do it, but only when facing right, and it still sucks. I definitely can't pull it off 100% of the time, and I've only pulled it off twice in actual matches. Damn did it feel good to do though. I need a stick, and I need to practice with a stick. I know that if I get on one, I'll just get my ass kicked until I actually get competent with it. Hrm.
