And man, I don't know why but I'm loving Ken. I play him like a hybrid of my main, Sakura. SRK ALL DAY, motherluvers.
I'm also trying to get more technical with Sakura trying to land her mk->l.tatsu->mk->l.tatsu->crouching f.pnch->into a ex.tatsu-> otoshi.......but the that timing needed is ridiculous. lol

In addition to the tips mentioned, if the player likes to use the backflip on wakeup (to get away) dash in and throw on the recovery. Be careful if they have meter because they can flipkick.

I played a Vega who turtled me to death a few days ago. Except it wasn't through constant wall jump attacks. He noticed I FADC'd a couple of his attack and threw him. From then on he would do wall leaps randomly and would do several fakes just to get me thinking. Basically he beat me by poking me everytime I got near him and then running away. And man he was ramming LP+LK like crazy because he tech'd like 90% of my throw attempts. Damn I hate that fucker, I want to play Vega and beat them with the most annoying tactics I can think of.
Brobzoid said:
Thanks! I'll definitely try to Focus when Vega does his dive.....I think the dive got me more than anything else.
EDIT: You're also recommending that I stay grounded, right? I tried not to jump too much, but even when I did, the Vegas tore me up.

G1? Fuckers be in S1 already?!
I hope you meant G2.
Vega's got an air throw and in SF4 air throws have the priority of a fuggen mountain. So yes, you should stay grounded. Depending on how good the Vega player is you can of course jump if you think his reaction time is bad enough.LosDaddie said:
Some other things to consider; Vega's roll is good chip damage so throw a fireball if you're at the appropriate distance, the EX roll goes under fireballs though so watch out for that. A good Vega player will use the FA a lot as well so stay frosty with your armor breaks.
The Vega players I've encountered usually race for some EX bars and try to do you in by spamming Barcelona wall jumps and trying to be random with it (jumping up on the wall and down were they stood trying to get you to commit to something they can punish), if you catch someone doing this to a fault - fuck them and do EX demon flip throw or something, that will land them deep in the corner and they'll be sore out of luck.

S1? Don't you mean SG?myDingling said:
myDingling said:
SG. Yeah there are some people out of G1, including now this asshole. I tried to reversal dragon punch his awful non cross up wake up attack that wasn't a safe jump, which would have clinched the victory even if it traded, but it didn't come out and he comboed my last remaining energy.

I never cared for SF or any fighting game (except DOA casually) until SF4. I've put 225 hours into it. The most I've played anything since FFXI. It's most definitely worth it, especially at $20.

Today I played against this flowchart Ken in G1 Champ. Awesome stuff.
When I was out of the SRK distance, he was doing c.mk. When I got close, BAM *FP SRK*. Block and punish, block and punish.
The awesome thing is that this guy has almost 30k GP

Hello, stick noob here, I have some questions. I got my TE stick today, took a 3 month hiatus from the game in the meantime. I decided to do trial challenges and basically approach the game as if it were my first time playing it (which it is with a stick).
During my experimenting, I noticed there are some moves/combos/cancels from various characters that I can only do well when using turbo. How does the community view turbo, as a copout or fair game since you payed for it? Am I better off trying to do things without it or is using it a necessity except for the great players? Do I treat it like training wheels until I feel confident enough to not use it.?

Turbo is universally looked down upon. In a competitive setting it's not allowed at all, in a casual setting you're defeating the purpose of playing in a casual setting. There's no place where it's viewed as acceptable.

Noted. I haven't played against anyone with the stick yet (my shit battle record, lack of points, and scant trophy collection will attest to that). I've just been experimenting in trials, training mode, and trying it out with my PS1 and 2D PSN games as well.
Somewhat ot: I read that mod's post with Wuncler's voice and it was even more discouraging :lol

Easy Mode Street Fighter.
If you're Sagat, put Fierce Punch and Roundhouse to Turbo. Hold those two buttons down and slowly do qcf's repeatedly, you'll get a mix of high and low shots. If you think you're opponent is going to jump, let go of fierce, stop doing QCF's, and just hold roundhouse. You WILL win a lot with this method :lol

Ummmm, DarksydeClown was playing straight-up horrible in that match - 30 second limit or not... congrats to you for taking him out though - as should anyone who's played months and months of Ranked/Championship matches...
Rufus was one of the guys I used to main while I used the pad till I dropped him completely when I got the TE, and I don't even want to start with the stupid things and missed opportunities the whiny bastard committed in that vid...
And this fool should know by now to look for the time limit before okaying a match - it was what I looked for first thing after ending up in my first one (still won it BTW) back before I abandoned playing with randoms altogether in SFIV...

I watched the video. I was surprised he didn't punish the SRKs more effectively. I'm not a Rufus guy but can't you do fierce into the spinning move? And doesn't the dive kick snuff the SRK from certain angles?
DSP seems suspect but I won't lie I've ran into some fights where someone with crappy technique/strategy befuddled me.

I've bounced around back and forth, back and forth between characters but for around a week now I've just played Fuerte. I remember when I saw Street Fighter IV in the arcades and was dazzled by Fuerte, then I got the actual chance to play Fuerte and I hated him, found him to spastic. Now, I've had the time to dive deep and play and I have to say, he is my favorite character ever in any street fighter game.
Also just loving having a street fighter game to play over and over. I got a friend who never had played fighters before, totally into MMOs and strategy games, and he actually stopped playing wow and is playing street fighter now.
I gotta say its the best fighter ever.

I saw that DSP video and laughed my ass off, and yes I actually did play BlackHawkDown later down the road in ranked G1. It was the Final, too! I beat his ass but, damn, I was shocked he was in the final with me. If people just learned to consistently block and bait.
It was a 4 bar connection though (the bare minimum I accept). I can understand Shoryu spam is a big problem with laggy connections. Hence why these guys get so high ranked.

Dude I used turbo to get some of those trials. The trials are interesting to see what is possible to do with the game engine but, half those combos while cool to see are worthless and/or not worth the trouble at high level play.
I'm still stumped at the hard trials right now. Those are holding me back from a 1000/1000 on this game. I'm at 850 and the last 3 achievements are all tied together to hard trials :/ Some of the trials, especially with charge characters, just seem impossible (crazy partitions and the like, dashing forward + releasing a charge move pains me)
