Good zangiefs definitely do not use green hand to move around the stage, except maybe to close space after an SPD or if they can throw it out on reaction to a fireball.. Green Hand is a free combo/throw on block, furthermore I have *shit* reflexes and I can punish a whiffed green hand on reaction.
Is there an easy/safe way to connect Gief's Ultra? I've been getting to G3 finals by using gief and spamming lariat and then switching to my main Sagat once I get to finals :lol
My gief is usually fully charged with an ultra, I can activate it (super easy with a TE stick) but it never connects.. then again I have no clue how to play zangief
I tried doing it on wakeup, or by jumping in and buffering it while jumping.. just wondering if theres a better method?

Damn I hadnt played this in like 2 months and I got my ass handed to me yesterday. Guess people finally figured out how to own a shoto blanka

Just lost with Sim to a Zangief in ranked who had it set to one round, both down to a sliver. Had I seen it was only one round, I would've quit in the lobby, I hate 1 round pussies.
I'm kinda itching for something new to play actually. Championship is a chore because of all the tick throw nonesense. Seems I spend most of the round countering tick throw attempts. Obviously it works, they win often, but I don't play that way myself, so find it kind of boring having to counter so many times per round, it seems to be the big strategy of the moment.

Because Im not going to host another one since so many people gave me shit for trying to do a favor.. Not gonna deal with that crap again. I was blamed for people not participating which baffles me.FindMyFarms said:
I gave up my slot in the tournament to keep it even and to allow someone else to participate last time.

So I didnt play much last week.
Played some tonight.
I did 12 matches in championship mode and won every single won of them and got 3 straight championships.. I'm now 43 champ wins.. 32 champ 2nd places. I have really turned that stat around. I use to be like 5 wins 11 second places.
Anyways.. Either G2 has finally balanced out or something. I pulled some really tight matches in too. I thought I was surely screwed on a few but actually managed to come back. Ive learned that I cant really do the cross up fierce off a tostada press really well but I can do it off any throw really well. (Fuerte that is)
Also I decided to play a "Ranked" match.. I chose "More Skilled" and got a Ken player. I perfected him the first round.. sent him into Stun etc.
Second round he kind of trapped me and got me with dang lp shoryukens. Third Round.. He was clearly owning me... I was pretty much screwed.. I had to catch up by 3/4's of a life bar and I had a sliver left.
He then goes to the other side of the screen and taunts. I tostada press off the wall and get a few more mix ups on him.. He then goes to the other side of the screen and does it again and I rinse and repeat.
Finally we both have equal life and I kill him. What an IDIOT. I messaged him afterwards saying "Thanks for being stupid and taunting and losing the match for me" He replied with "LOL I can beat you any day of the week"
EDIT: Rummy - I passed you in GP?!?! Where have you been!?

their HD remix fight was atrocious.
It's like someone disabled everything on the controller except jump and roundhouse.
It was like watching two individuals play SF for the first time.

lolz I put my name down for that capcom 'greatest in europe' thing a while back
and got this from ze germans
Can't read much german, but for top 8 costs are paid? Shame I live in holland and registered out of spite cause there's no dutch one. Also, I'll be on vacation so I can't go. Would've been funny to try and fake my way through being german though.

They added other countries later on and I'm pretty sure Holland was included. Also not nice to sign up for it and not participate. You have to go now!
That said, I'm glad that I didn't sign up. Capcom only pays the travel cost for the top 3 and only the top 8 are getting rooms. Everyone else gets to travel back home on the very same day. Sure Capcom, I don't know what to do with my money and time anyways. :lol

AWWW SHITZ
I could go to the dutch one if it wasn't in my vacation time since holland is the size of my elbow.
anyone remember what this thing was called? If I could find more info maybe I could switch.\
EDIT:
HOLY FUCK
turns out I'm fucking hardcore and can't go
EDIT2: oh wait, turns out I'm not hardcore, top 8 from each go to the finals.

I'm beginning a new quest today, one that I hope will still be going on by tomorrow. I'm going to force myself to try and learn how to play on a stick. I bought a Hori FS3 a month ago but after the frustrating experience of trying it out for the first time it's been regulated t that thing sitting in the corner of the room that I mess around with once in a while.
Today I plug the thing in to practice combo's and I noticed it was much easier for me to pull low to medium attacks then on a controller. This kind of open my eyes a bit because no matter how hard I try, I can't seem to get the timing down when using a DS3.
My biggest problem right now and has always been(when I use to play at the arcades) is doing special moves. I still struggle doing simple motions like like Ryu's FB. When the DP motion is a even bigger pain in the ass. My biggest fear is that maybe even after a month I still won't "get it". But for now I'm going to commit towards actually learning to play on this thing and besides, my thumb will never recover if I don't because I'm not going to stop playing SF4 anytime soon.
I'm going to stay in the training room and fight the CPU instead though until I feel that I'm ready(if that ever happens). I already tried playing with the FS3 online when I first got it and got my ass handed to me by a Ryu with only a few hundred points in a ranked match.

Sounds like anyone's beginner story. We all go through it. Just have to put time into it and keep playing. Hell. Go back to older games and try it out. You'll be shocked of how better those games play with a stick vs a pad. True story.
Word of warning: You won't learn everything over night. It takes years. I've been using an arcade stick for nearly two years now and I still have lots to learn in terms of muscle memory twitches and what not. That's how it is with most games I play. Although Tekken I've almost got down entirely. SFIV I'm still getting the hang of. I've gone from shoto scrub to charge character awesome (Boxer/Dictator ftw!). Once you go stick, you'll never go back.

100 fireballs left

100 dp left

etc.
although you can use the shortcut for DP motion as well which is VERY easy.
I need to do a similar thing with regards with learning another character.... I'm decent with blanka now but would love to have another go to guy when I get bored of blanka. I like mucking with dictator but feel like I get stuck in db with him too much and his combos are HARD.
I like ELF but he's too crap for me to persevere with. I'm thinking of just becomming another wanker with sagat, but I would feel dirty

I recently found an old PS2 memory card with 3rd strike replays against friends from our pad days, and I had to lol. Pads are so counter-intuitive for SF (especially those with only 4 face buttons) and it showed. We were also much worse at the game back then, but whatever.
Speaking of counter-intuitive I would suggest not using the DP shortcut.

It doesn't have to die; it should just be toned down to 3S levels so it's not as intrusive and annoying.

Thanks for the feedback, my first goal is to get the to point where I don't feel like a fish out of water when playing with a stick. It still feels like a foreign object to me. I can't even block correctly half the time. So hopefully I get there sometime this summer. And I must admit, it sounds more enticing to play a charge character on a arcade stick compared to a pad. I'll give that a shot to, but my loyalties will always remain when my boy Ryu.
