Thanks for the tips. I was playing much more defensively with rufus but I guess I should start going on the offensive with him.
However, you mentioned that he doesnt have an anti-air special but isnt snake strike anti-air? Seems like that move only hits opponents that are in the air.

Anyone wanna play with me anytime add me on Live: Jazzy Jeff V2k.
I'm up for some Player matches right now but I'm afraid I offer no competition as of right now+I'm cloud surfing. You could still send me an invite though.

By the way if dthoj from PSN posts here you are a fucking pussy for choosing Gouken in a ranked match.

his best AA is crouching MP. it doesn't look like it, but it stuffs a lot of jump-ins. Rufus' biggest strength is his ability to do major damage, quickly, because he can land is Ultra so many ways. Ultra set-ups... Standing HK outside of sweep range, target combo, j.HK on a jumping enemy, galactic tornado's in the corner, forward HP [palm strike] in corner, FADC from Messiah Kick -> lk version.
and EX snake strike does crazy damage.
galactic tornado's can absorb a projectile. you can control rufus during the MP/HP versions, hold forward to close in quickly. use his down/forward MK to move in on a knocked down opponent.
basically, rufus is awesome

Don't jump if he has ultra. Actually try to minimize jumping in against him in general. Be patient against his fireballs. That should carry you a long way.

Not all the time.. Only if you are slightly into a few frames of your slide. If not then he will still hit.MIMIC said:Fuerte's slow ass slide beats Abel's Ultra. Seems kinda unfair, but I'll take it
I was doing the RSF (and end it with a slide) and I guess I was too slow and my opponent mashed his Ultra out.
Im at 18k GP on Champ Mode for PC SF4. Almost caught up to my XBL. Soon I will be G1 just like I am on the 360 and never find a game! WOOT! :lol
I can confirm a few things now.
1) I am terrible at the game. :lol I have got to learn how to force cancel worth a shit or I will never win. Kaako decimated me with that. The most convincing series I won was when I brought my cousin in to beat him with Ryu. :lol
2) Kaako is well-rounded with a lot of characters. Outside of Ken Ryu and Zangief I am fucking awful.
3) I cannot defend against Sagat for all of King Midas' gold.
Oh and great matches Kaako. I played way more than I expected to!

You have to have good link timing. Her jabs/shorts into d.mk or d.hp into SRK or EX hurricane kick is too good. Learn her EX hurricane kick -> jab -> crossup or fake crossup mixups, as they will get you the most opportunities for damage. I'm only semi-decent with her so there's probably tons I don't know.abombb said:
Crisis thank you thank you thank you man! You have no idea what you've done. I don't have the jitters anymore, not just cause I lost and won some but cause for the first time since I bought my TE stick(3-4 days ago), I felt somewhat comfortable with it and could actually pull some moves and execute on some Ultra's for once.
I was also baked as hell so maybe that helped but I just felt somewhat at ease and could almost space out and use a bit of footsies. I need practice in pretty much every aspect and I really need to learn how to play everyone cause as you saw I was just using basic moves for almost all the charge characters.
We had some freaking epic ass matches though where it kept coming to the wire and could go either way. Shit was soooo insane especially cause I was totally baked and it make it so damn intense. Thanks for an amazing night man. Anytime you're up for matches, let me know.

You played with a stick?! :lol :lol :lol
I was on a DS3!
The craziest match was the Zangief versus Sagat one where it came to round three and neither of us had ANY health left. :lol And we both kind of retreated and waited for the other to screw up. I kept trying to chicken you into it and you didn't bite. That was a costly mistake on my part!

good games as always Level 8 boss!
I will learn to beat your gouken with my bison. God I need to learn to tech throws if that is ever going to happen. 50% damage off one throw -> ultra is brutal.
Our matches always seem to swing big time, especially the ryu/blanka matchup. I got cocky since I won the first one nicely and then got ruined second time around.
You took 6 from 11, but I'll console myself with winning the championship one before that in the random meetup
<3 5 bar connections as well. I can't notice a lag at all.

Hahaha there were sooooo many crazy matches man I lost count. The Dan ones were fucking epic and funny as well. I'm better on my 360 pad but I'm playing on the TE stick cause I recently bought it and need to get used to it. Also the first couple of matches were all in freaking slow motion for me. :lolCrisis said:

Hit seth. Twice.
Collect GP.
And despite original concerns, Gouken ended up being spectacularly mediocre.

At high level play, Seth can be pretty dangerous but his high-risk high-reward must be managed well because he's basically a glass cannon.
As Tekno said, if you literally combo him twice, you've practically won the match. He has terrible terrible stamina.
Gouken on the other hand is also a decent character at best, certainly not as effective as the likes of a Ryu or Sagat.
Just learn the quirks/mechanics of both matchups (their abilities, setups and whatnot) and you won't be complaining about these 2 characters in no time haha

Do you seriously think that Gouken is overpowered, really? The guy is mid tier at best. Is it his throw>Ultra that bothers you?

throw>ultra bothered me last night I was winning with a perfect then 50% of bisons bar went down the tubes.
Furthermore, Goukens ultra is humiliating. the way bisons chin looks all mushed up on his fist and everything
He's in no way overpowered though.
Crisis has the most appropriate user name just now :lol

I too would like to know the answer to this question. I try sending messages before the match starts but it never stops the people with the seth/gouken icons. Also how do I get people to not pick Dan, he's also clearly overpowered and all the pussies that rush to him are a bunch of douchebags.

They'll never make figures of Abel or QLosDaddie said:Well I finally ordered it:
Should be delivered to my office by Friday
I like how Necro and Remy have at least two unique figures from two different companies, and Q, who I assume is equally as unpopular as them has none.

Crisis said:
I dunno what character you're using, but its very hard for Gouken to get in without getting punished. Stay on the attack, dont give em space n time to set up a "Flip Show".
As for Seth, just calm down, take your time, move in carefully and he'll be dead in a few. Dont let his gymnastics kill your confidence.
