Bison is mad solid and has less randomness than Blanka - keep using him as an alternate to Blanka.catfish said:baaah my win rate dropped below 50% just lately due to my determination to use bison instead of blanka and play championship mode only.
The road is hard my friends. I think i've won 1 final since I switched to bison. probably about 200 games ago
Won't give up till I have equal use on bison as blanka, then I'll assess my suckness again.

He's one of the few charge characters that can keep constant pressure on the opponent - while he doesn't have Boxer's BnB ultra combo or Honda's damage potential, his speed, normals, and fast specials make him a really good pressure character.

How do you headbutt into ultra with boxer?
I'm doing that, I can see it when I turn on the inputs in training mode. for some reason it just doesnt come out.McBradders said:When you headbutt make sure you're pressing the stick to UP AND BACK and move the stick to back or down back before you land, whip the Ultra motion press KKK and hold KKK so most, if not all, the punches land.
Just make sure you're holding back when you headbutt and the rest should flow pretty naturally.

How long do you have to hold back?

Back to practice mode then I guess...black_vegeta said:not too long. Basically, you have to hold that charge from the beginning of the headbutt to the ultra. After you do the headbutt, slide the stick back to the non up or down position while still keeping that charge. Very little after you hit the ground, ultra!
Just keep the charge the whole time and you should be fine.
McBradders said:I have consistency issues, but I would imagine you're doing it too early. You have to wait a beat before doing it. I'm sure there are better boxers here that can tell you what you're doing wrong. I would hazard a guess to try and time it so his feet hit the ground before letting rip.
Timedog said:You know, when boxer's headbutt puts me way up into the air and It seems like he has forever to land his ultra, i say "man, that's so unfair", but I didn't think about how he needs that time to charge it.

Stick is hard.
So after the headbutt, you go to a forward motion? or a backward?Rektash said:He doesn t. You usually start backcharging while starting to charge down for the headbutt (thus holding the stick in back-down position). You need the down charge for the headbutt and the back charge for the ultra. Ergo you don t need any additional time to charge for ultra after headbutt.
What I do for Balrogs ultra:
Start to backdown charge. Move from backdown charge to backup to do the headbutt (you need the "up" input to do the headbutt). Now what did we do? We moved from BackDown to BackUp, so the back charge is still active (we only needed the down charge for headbutt) - thats what you ll be using for the ultra after Balrog lands from his headbutt.

I was really worried yesterday and a bit today that I may never learn how to play on the stick but I feel that I'll eventually get the feel for it some day and that day will be fucking glorious.

Five minutes with charge characters. God, charge characters are really terrible on pad.
:lol Holy crap...profit said:Hey its that guy with that avatar
profit said:I did it!!!!
But it whiffed....
Still, now I know how to do it.
I can get it to hit now, but only one hit... guess I need to improve on my timing?

prodystopian said:I'm in the same boat. I've barely won a match since switching to Akuma. I'm getting better slowly, but he has so many options, I just get overwhelmed sometimes.
Gr1mLock said:i play rog also..this might help...when you do the headbutt..instead of doing it by charging downback and then moving to upback you can try rolling it like a fireball motion..ie downback to back to upback..if you think of it as a fireball motion you wont go past upback to up directly and risk loosing your back charge..once you get it down to the point where you dont loose your back charge you can stop doing it like a fireball..also with charge characters in general i tend to 'flick' the moves and return the stick back to the charge position..example..with rog's dash punch i would charge downback 'flick' the stick foward press punch and bring the stick back in one motion..as far as connecting the ultra after the headbutt..practice doing just the headbutt then ultra without a combo..if youre not getting it try doing headbutt then dash punch to make sure youre retaining charge..you should start doing the motion for the ultra once you see rog is back on the ground..at first it'll seem like a tight window but you have more time to do it then you might think
Ahh okay, now I know which Gaffer you were, couldn't remember. GG, I just couldn't get my Sakura to work against you. The randoms were fun, but yeah you SRKed to your doom.black_vegeta said:GG's LakeEarth!!
Those random picks were serious business...2 damn Ken's in a row! :lol
Tried to flowchart my way to victory.

Don't be predictable with air tatsus - Guile's air throw is the best in the game, he can grab you from almost 2 characters away.Rice-Eater said:But when I can't close the distance I'll do what many Guile players have done to me, which is turtle them to death. Keep chucking fireballs and he won't be able to match them. Smart Guile players will try to avoid jumping in on you and instead try to push you to the corner. When that happens, air hurricane out of the corner and keep repeating until he loses his patience or time runs out.
I used this site for some stick holding methods lol:Gr1mLock said:dont sweat it man it'll come..the only reason why id stress playing on a stable surface is that when i was learning stick playing it on a stable surface (as opposed to your lap) really made a ton of difference..whenever i had it on my lap i got inconsistent results becasue you dont always sit the same way..the stick can move etc etc....the idea is to basicly use your hand itself ie finger movements to get your motions out and not your arm..there's a bunch of different ways of actualy holding the stick itself..i suggest giving them all a try and see what feels most comfortable to you..there's also quite a few tutorial videos on youtube about how to use sticks.
ppl always stress how to hold the joystick...Kaako said:I used this site for some stick holding methods lol:

Also, I sit on a chair with another chair in front of me with the stick on it...pretty comfortable.
Dunno but I was reading SRK forums and they do discuss it to some extent. I'm still having a bit of trouble switching from the top row to bottom row consistently and usually I alternate between first 3 buttons to last 3 buttons depending if I have ultra or not. Just booting up today, I feel that I'm a bit more comfortable with it than I was yesterday. Guess that's the muscle memory going to work.JEKKI said:ppl always stress how to hold the joystick...
how come nobody ever discusses how to press buttons?!?!

It took me an ALARMING amount of time to realise you could throw abel out of his roll. Infact it took me a long time of complaining about abel for a gaffer to just tell me to do that :lolblack_vegeta said:Your Abel was a pain, my Dictator doesn't do to well against Abel.
