The U.S. Balrogs mentioned earlier are my picks also. Japanese Balrogs to look into are: Maeda Taisen, Pamyu. Only a few videos of each on youtube, but they have a completely different style than US Balrogs. I'm trying to model myself after their playstyles.

Catfish, very good games!
I lol'd when I bumped into a friendly name in Championship, but at least I hold up pretty well, despite the fear of getting killed asap o_o...
Then you have turned the tide in the following Player Matches awesomely with Bison!
And Blanka: I really think I was not hopeless against him. Could counter his ultra 2-3 more times than I think I should have: the slap against the giant ball or the corner ex bk while the animation comes were surprisingly effective
And I won rounds, omg.
Too bad every one of our match had 2 seconds of almost unbearable lag. Nothing before, nothing after, but 2 seconds in all of the rounds.. Blame ISP...

nice games oldern
damn it your viper pains me. gotta get used to low blocking that ground smash move, cost me a half bar every time :lol
can't believe you perfected me in the 2nd round of the championship! dear god.
I've just been having massive internet battles. I have a fibre 60Mb connection but my brand new 140 euro router apparently makes it work like dial up if anyone is connected to the wireless while I'm using the wired. SUX. Seems to work ok now but we started getting a bit laggy at the end. Lucky I was taking lag champ blanka!
and yeah, you weren't falling for blankas easy mode victories, much to my disappointment. getting slapped out of the ball is like getting slapped in the face. haha. I wasn't happy with my bison at the start, you started reading me pretty good. I have to spam more HK against her definitely.

Try mixing up using head stomp and devil reverse unless you're doing it REALLY late and thus putting yourself into position for a SRK or something. Basically, if you smell fireball, do either one (more headstomps than DR) until they stop, then try using devil reverse when they start trying to knock you out of it. That'll get them to stop spamming a ton if they're smart.

GAF, I have some videos that I would like you to critique if you have the time, mostly the three consecutive losses against Sagat.
I know I need to have less predictable jumps against him and for some reason I didn't block... at all. Also, on FADC'd blocked Spikes, I should've switched it up with a second spike or maybe an TK Strike. I was a little more reckless than I probably had to be but oh well. It's nice to get some extra eyes on losses.
Against Rose, Gief
Against Ryu, Sagat

Did you get your stick fixed at least? I would check for shorts in the lines if you haven't. I had something similar happen with my dual-modded stick that used a Mad Catz retro arcade stick PCB and it was a combination of the ground touching the line (for some damned reason, never figure out WHY it happened) and the PCB being wired to my cthulhu just a touch incorrectly.
Don't get impatient and use headstomps from fullscreen (unsafe as hell)h3ro said:
Work your way in slowly with focus dash cancels and NEUTRAL jumps. If you have meter, ex scissors goes through fireballs when it is close to you (and goes fast enough to catch them before they recover)
Basically how you get in is up to you, but DONT blindly jump in and DONT headstomp from fullscreen (unless they are really stupid)
Anyways yeah I agree that playing bison (and pretty much charge characters in general except for Balrog) have it harder than everyone else. No reversals to mash out of blockstrings alone puts them at a disadvantage. Bison in particular has no move that cannot be stuffed. You pretty much have to rely on shenanigans to win, not a "get me out of jail free" shoryuken.

Lost Fragment: Good games!
Your Viper, as I experienced, used a bit of the plainer combos than I do, but hell, it was quite effective. I was happy when I managed to win a few, and I knew that I had it coming when I got butchered in the other rounds : )
And at the other characters: at Ken, I just got lucky, omg. Gouken felt nice, but did not know which of Gen's kicks were armor breakers, and which werent.... Ryu was a misclick, I believed I have chosen Viper already, lol : )
And while the connection was so-so at the start, it started acting really wierd at the end...whatever I inputted, an srk motion came out. Parries with gouken, random srk-s with Ryu, and at one point, I did a succesful, while accidental HP->Super with Viper o_o
Thanks for playing - now I am gonna sleep -.-

If that was you I just played, I dunno if you could call that a proper Viper mirror since it was pretty laggy (on my end, at least) :lol But if you're all the way in Hungary, I'm surprised the connection was even that good. GGs, man.
edit: oop
Yeah, if I'm in a laggy game I usually don't even try to do a bunch of feint block strings and sjc stuff, 'cause 75% of the time the delay messes up my timing and I end up with ex tk.

Prepare yourself for Q's arrival.
Has anyone tried playing SF4 on multiple PCs (not simultaneously) using the same GFW profile? I know your online stats are saved locally so I would assume that I can safely start a new championship run on my 2nd PC but I'd like to know beforehand so I don't lose the progress on my 1st PC.

I might be crazy but doesn't ex-scissors get you out of block strings? Pretty much all non-shoto characters have the issue of burning ex to get out of block strings and in my characters cases they're massivly unreliable (ex-tornado grab) or net you no damage (ex-oga, though that does have the plus of getting you completely safe). On top of that charge characters can generally be huge issues for anybody without a fireballs. Bison's safeness and fearsome roundhouse makes him really frustrating to fight with Able or Gen. I really don't think chargers have it harder than anybody else... (well, I'll give you Vega)
What I'd give for Gen dragon-kick to actually reverse anything (hells, even throws) or Abel's EX-tornado to hit any ground attack exactly like a DP apart from the only way to avoid it is to jump as opposed to blocking.

You can't mash out reversal charge moves is what he means.

You can mash the button part at least, right? Thats how I do balgrogs wakeup headbutt...kind of a controlled mash.Teknopathetic said:

I went to grab some food right after our matches and just saw your message. Your Chun is damn tough. Just wish we had a little better connection. Blocking hazanshous (sp?) on reaction is impossible.
Yeah those two bars are really annoying. I checked everything and nothing was running so it was definitely distance. At least it's somewhat playable though I know if the connection was better we would have gone even or more. I did discover tonight that the Hazan Shous (i have no idea I spell it different every day) go over Vega's claws so that makes me feel better :lol . Sorry for spamming them, i love doing the stick motion haha.
Great games though

Finally bought a new PSP, but then pushed the demon onto someone else. Jesus.
I was like that for a while. Did the shoto thing all my life, so I wanted to do a charge character for a change. In the end, I think Balrog/Boxer s the most fun to play and he looks the best so that's who I main now. Other than Sagat, I don't find any of the other characters fun to play...at all._dementia said:

Been having problems playing this on PC. Last week, I kept getting bad pool something BSODs. At first, I thought it was a bad driver, but I only need a driver for my video card, sound card and ugh that's it.
I then uninstalled it and reinstalled it again. It worked for about 30 minutes.
Not sure if it's a Windows 7 x64 problem or something else.
Guess Tekken is the new hotness but I won't abandon the game of forever.

yeah I feel that, I've never hit an ultra online at all unless it was an 'oh shit I'm screwed anyway' wakeup ultra.h3ro said:
Threi gave you good advice. slooowly get close to the shotos. bison is great up close. try and bait out those SRKs when corner trapping them and then murder on them for a bit. if you make them scared to SRK you can get lot's of stuff.
Escaped crossups with the teleport. Works wonders.
Also Europlayers on 360 don't forget to send a FR to Gafeurobrawlers
we're 10 strong now with some nice non laggy games, would like to pump those numbers up a bit. Also suitable for the common T6 release which sounds like it might have crap netcode, so all the better for close connections.

Going to try the .ini hack here sometime today, I'll see if that works- it's not how it should be, but if this does it I don't care.

Hmm. Well, I'll try uninstalling all of my drivers (the two of them) and install them again. Everything else works except for SFIV. I also wish you didn't have to have the disc in the DVD drive. I understand the reasoning but annoying nonetheless.
And I like the pictures you can take with PC version, especially with the graphics enhancements.
If I can get the game working again, I'll post pics in the PC hi-res thread. Dan ftw.
I think the filters look like shit.
Have you guys tried right clicking on the program file for the game, going to the security tab, and setting the game to run in compatibility mode with an older OS like vista or XP.
Now that I think about it, changing the FPS, and fixed frame rate do absolutely nothing on my game, so maybe that's why it doesn't cause a problem on my machine.
