I don't care if it's the wrong mindset for him, I just want Super to let me apply some real offensive pressure as Guile. Seeing what Dagger_G can do with this version right now, I can't wait to see (and try to X-COPY some of) what he'll do with the next (hopefully better) version.
I think Guile's gotta be one of the harder characters to balance, he's been all over the place whenever he's in.

Are you guys memorizing the timing for the button presses for combos? I see guys hitting big combos on me online and I'm like "how is that possible?", but I go off the hitstun animations for doing combos and don't actually think about the timing of the taps as much, so when i'm online and the animations are late, it screws everything up.
Memorizing the timing of taps blindfolded seems so much harder though. Maybe I should stop even attempting 1 frame links online.

God damn. Sick. Must say, I'm quite the Dagger G fanboy.
And on the topic of hot guile shenanigans, >>this was rather ridiculous as well<<

Well, you memorize the timing of hit confirm strings so you can decide whether you'll finish with a special or not. Example with Ryu, you'll do a cr. short, cr. jab, and buffer the SRK, by teh time the jab comes out you should realize whether you're pokes are connecting or not, and can finish with an SRK or not. It gives you pretty good amount of time since you link the srk as opposed to cancelling it.

I've never played Dagger but the absolute best Guile i've played is a guy on XBL tagged Geom_ModInside. We've done two sets of 10 where we are 1-1. He has some crazy corner pressure and overall solid fundamentals. Granted there is some lag involved since he is in France but a solid player is a solid player IMO. Check out is YT vids.

Don't know how his guile is, but he makes a mean AMV :lol :lol

Every time I fool around with Balrog in training mode, I can't get that one combo to fully connect (the one where it ends with the headbutt and then goes into his Ultra). When Balrog does the Ultra, I only get one hit and then it's like my opponent becomes invisible and Balrog just starts punching right through the dummy.
Does the combo have to be performed in a specific way up to the headbutt (and does the headbutt have to be light, medium, or hard)? Maybe I made up some stuff.
It's no big deal...I don't use Balrog but I was just wondering.

G1 is driving me nuts.
I seem to do better with Rose of all people then Honda. I don't play like Saqs at all though.
My consistency is weird too- I don't lose more then 2 in a row ever, but don't win more then 4 in a row ever.
I feel like I'm stuck between decent and good.

This is what I use with my Rog after the ultra with the ANY headbutt...
PPP (on the first hit), PPP(second will miss), KKK, KKK, KKK(all 3 will hit).
That will hit everytime. You can use other sequences such ass KKK, PPP, KKK, KKK, KKK.
It all depends on where your opponent is when you do the ultra.

Man, I don't know if it's me, G1, the character or everyone else, but playing an offensive Honda can be such a pain against so many turtles. I feel like I have to turtle(and if I do I win), but I like to rush way more... sometimes it feels like Honda can do nothing against turtling blanka/balrog/ryu/guile... Most of the times I just wish Capcom would take some tips from Guilty Gear(trying to reward offensive players) or just remove invincible frames from backdashes... I don't even have issues with sagat anymore... Maybe I should switch and abandon the sumo army?</random pointless rant>
Anyway, anyone up to some games? Gutabo2 on XBL... There might be lag since I'm in south america.

Who do you play? Typically if an opponent jumps in on you, you want to anti air them as a punish. Otherwise, if you miss your AA opportunity, you can stop the throw by throwing at the same time.
So how's the online on PC now?
I kind of got that Street Fightin' itch, and considering I never actually got my PC SFIV online when I bought it last year, I figure it might be interesting to try out my feeble Street Fighter skills online. Only, I don't have a clue on how to get started. Do I just jump in tournaments and start fighting until I start winning? I'm thinking of taking my Sakura online. I know she's not a great character, but my other decent character is Ryu, and I'm not going to play Ryu. I like Ryu, but he's just so... bland. Besides, I like how fast Sakura is. I figure I can work with that. That and if I do get good, I can surprise people who aren't used to meeting her. I got a Fightpad, so at least I don't have to fight the keyboard as well as my opponent.
But I suppose what I'm really asking if you have any tips for an online newbie who'd like to play the hyperactive schoogirl shoto-clone? Or do I just go in blind? I'm playing from Denmark, so there might be some lag issues.

Just went back after playing Tekken 6 and Abel seems flat out terrible. I was playing against a friends Chun earlier and she was flat out violating me with her normals (fierce and roundhouse namely) which seemed to totally destroy my jump ins and out-poked everything I had. The only way I could get any damage was by getting through some miracle in and going for the Abel rushdown (guessing games) or by lucking out and managing to jab tornado his pokes. Am I missing something here?

The matchup blows balls. Chun out pokes alot of characters. Similar to when I fight one with my Rog, I have a hell of a time getting in without getting poked to death. I have to waste alot of EX meter just to get in for a combo or knockdown.
I have yet I figure out a good strat against a decent Chun.
As I understand it, with Abel the key is to be patient and maintain a close but safe distance so that when Chun tries to do something, Abel can punish. Rushing in just makes the fight incredibly easy for her. Focus attacks also mess up her ground game, but don't get predictable because she does have counters for it.black_vegeta said:

Good advice. I just brushed up on my Sakura in Practice, she's good to go. I mess up the Ultra occasionally, and my moves might be pretty stale, but for a 1BP newbie, I'm okay. I need to relearn the timing on cr. MP -> Hadoken, though.
The choice of opponent, however... Two bars and three countries away is probably a little on the low side. I'll try again tomorrow closer to EU prime time. It's a pity you can't set up a Fight Request in Practice Mode.

http://en.justin.tv/clip/41cc2cc9eec67b58
Unfortunately, that`s it, and it`s only 1 hour of video, a total of 2 matchesThere is nothing at all on their archive page and I can`t find any more videos (except the one of the Gootecks match). Is it possible to watch the whole thing or am I out of luck?
Hrm, they took down the recording. It was possible to watch the whole thing online, but justin.tv probably has a time limit or something. I guess you'll have to wait for the torrent that gootecks is putting out.
Hey Turtlesnatcher yeah that was some good games. You had some nice tricks with Gen. Once I get my hands on a new stick(hoping frys gets more in at $99 price) I should probably play more often. I enjoy playing on the pc more than xbox these days. I'm not always at the arcade, I goto denjin or ai once or twice a month. Is there a new gaf tourney coming up? I'm so out of the loop haha.
