GG's to Slayn and gutter. Got worked by both of em. the Akuma vs Cammy matches were awesome Slayn. My Cammy started pretty shaky but got better as the matches went on I think :lol. And I don't know whether to be happy that I beat your Guile with Blanka - that's a mindf*ck right there X(.

Ditto to you gutter, after obliterating me with Shadoloo, Honda and , we had a couple close ones - that Balrog v. Cammy is going to stay with me for a while :lol

I have to link better online - I can do all those offline, but I missed chances for an Ultra after a successful FA (BALLLLLLLLLLLLROG! :( ) and cannon drills* after a connected crouch MK (like i was suprised i hit it or something :lol).

Hopefully tomorrow brings some improvement (and some CSpike->FADC->CSpike dammit!)
I might hop on again late tonight but I don't know... university blows.

*Screw the name spiral arrow...sounds awful. SSF2 speak for the win. Cannon spike is alright, but Front Kick was better.
GGs Killa

that Barlog match was funny with 03 on the clock with both nothing left on health... throw LOL.
Yup we had some close matches, I missed lots of Oicho ticks but the one that landed won me that first Honda vs Guile match.

You know everytime I teleported with Bison when I juggled you with jumping MP, MP or when I wanted to catch you when you jumped in the air? those were botched Ultras,,, i hate the shortcuts lol

Ken has been failing me allot lately, Ryu is defiantly the better shoto

Haha, I beat you all.

$58.99 360 version.

That is all. Rocking it with the 360 controller. Almost 2000bp now, and this game isn't even close to getting boring.

is that just for xbl? cause I didn't get any email.

Yeah, sorry. I keep forgetting to specify. Currently, I'm only hosting XBL tournaments (the 2nd tournament has filled up already). I'm looking into working with a few Sony sites to promote a SFIV tournament, I'll let you know when I have more details for sure since there's a lot of interest from people.

IN-DE-STRUCTA-OH FUCK my saturn pad finally died. :(

How? :\

And man these trials are annoying. It's like they picked the most useless combos for you to do. Stupid nonsense combos that require twister like combination. I can't even see how it would be natural on arcade sticks. I'm never getting those shirts.

MIMIC,

I main Blanka and could use your advice. How do you get around Bison's EX headstomp?

I can't anti-air it (only trades) or electricity it. I've been told to backdash, to backhop, or perhaps even to focus it, but it happens so fast....

How do you deal with it? I can deal with the rest of Bison's tricks but that one has me baffled and those answers I've just mentioned are good, but hard for me to pull off because it happens so fast.

For most characters if you just hold back he'll land in front of you. Personally I always just FADC it to build ultra meter. If it happens to fast for you to recognize it, then you'll just have to hit up practice mode. Record feature FTW (seriously, has any other fighting game had it before)

Yeah, I know I'm not mimic lol.

Is online not working for anyone else? (PS3 version)
Keeps saying "no sessions found"

Is your PS3's connection Nat3? Mine is and I am only able to host matches or join friends' games. If I try to search I get the same error.

The weird thing is, only SF4 does this. I can search for matches in any other game, including other fighters like HD Remix and Soul Calibur IV.

Timedog said:
and OH YEAH, today in training I set the opponent akuma to cpu controlled, and if my fireball hit his red 3 hit fireball the moment it left his hands, it would completely cancel. I immediately met an akuma in ranked and expected this to happen and got hit with 2 fireballs that I could have jumped over or blocked if I had expected them to not fully cancel. WTF? Has anyone else seen Akuma's red fireball get cancelled with a normal fireball when playing the cpu in training?
The number of hits on Akuma's red fireball changes depending on which punch you use.
lp = 1 hit
mp = 2hits
hp = 3 hits

An lp red fireball can be canceled with any other projectile. I'm guess that is what you canceled. An mp can be canceled by other 2 hitters like ex moves. A 3 hitter just beats everything.

according to SRK how to get around that is to make the final input up-forward. Apparently it works every time like that (i haven't had the time to test it)

Sorry Slayn

SAGAT 80% COMBO DUE TO STANDING MK GLITCH

April Fools! Suck it down Sagat!
For horizontal ball I don't think it matters. The big change that makes is it means zangief can actually mixup on wakeup because if blanka tries to ex upball on wakeup, zangief can punish him.

I played someone who has all of the achievements already! :lol razier31

I have them all except for the title and and icon achievements. I just need to get 9 judgment wins and 25 perfects to get the rest of the titles/icons. After 180 hours of play I could only manage to get 5 perfects:lol. The best chance I had of getting them were seth vs zangief matches.
It's a total slaughter.

Side note: zangief kara hands will definitely make him god tier x2.

Mostly completing all the challenges. That's where you get the bulk of them. The rest are online vs. mile stones. Like getting 30 wins, winning by chip damage, stuff like that. Here is a list and how to get them.

By the way: why the hell did no one ever post that Donkey Show was actually that good? :lol Gave me some real trouble the other day (he was clearly the better player) and caught me in Balrog's nasty EX Upper loop at one point, lag be damned.

He should be careful, in my country pedo is short for pedophile
I think the correct original spelling is 'paedophile' so a shortening of that would probably be 'paedo'... and now I've exhausted my expertise on the subject. Honest!
 
the def of the word is Greek
Pedo (child) phile (desire or love whatever)

Philosophy = desire or love of knowledge sophie/Sophia = knowledge
Philip = Philippos = desire, love or friends of horses (hippos or ippos = horses)

I am not Greek, this is just what I heard

Yeah, I know I'm not mimic lol.

Yeah, you ain't me! =p But what you said.

Plus, Avatar1, you just gotta recognize when it's coming (I think I usually hop back on reaction). Most good Bison players will recognize when YOU recognize it and will cancel into that flaming hand thing. So watch out for that, too.

Other way around for me. Stopped playing for a lil while due to GDC and work. Been getting stomped all over the place due to rust (i hope). Spent like 2 hours to finally get some bp back. Might take a break from ranked if I hit 4k. Was soooo close, now i tumbled back to the mid 3s.

GG Lyte edge. I saw your name in custom search and figured I should give you some bp :lol
Fought your chun - i probably used some shoto, next time it'll be closer! :D
58 hours of playtime so far. I want to find a stick :(

This game makes me rage more than L4D. I just threw the controller and pissed off my mom :( I'm staying away from online for a while and just play local.
 
Tonight is not my night.

Went from 2kbp to 1400 in like 30 minutes. I've been losing flowchart kens with 500bp. Ugh, I blame playing with my neighbor for 2 straight days

Well, as long new BP are generated, the mass will move up BP wise.

That is at least my way to moving upward from time to time!

But tonight ranked really feels dead. The "more skilled" filter doesn't even throw a full list at me anymore. :(
