Do you mind if I add you? I kinda feel like trying to get back into playing, but I'd rather play people on GAF than random endless online.

Feel free to add me, I also want more people to play with, I also hate playing against random.

I try! Ryu's c.forward blows me up, Chun's sweep does a good job of keeping me out, and Geif is just like BLOCKED. SPD LOLOLOLOL. Then I die.
Yes, chaotix kappa. Nah smug is def the best
Playing Fei really makes me realize how bad my AA game is.
Kokujin, if he was serious about sf4.

Kokujin plays Ryu now for some reason.

Didn't even know he was playing this game.. I remember seeing him play Ryu briefly a long time ago but thought he dipped out. His Dudley still isn't bad in USF4

Poor girl. Who's forcing you to play it and why?
I realize this is probably too broad a question to actually answer, but do you guys have any general advice for dealing with tons of aggression. I feel like anyone that knows how to follow up a knockdown or a combo with block strings and frame traps just crushes me. I don't really know enough about the game to be 100% about what I can punish on block, so I just kind of sit there and do my best to block while looking for a way out, or just mash lk/lp. I'm playing Makoto btw, so she doesn't really have a panic button like dragon punch. These are always the most frustrating matches because it feels like one knockdown and it's over.
Narrow your focus and learn the block strings and frame traps. Experiment with what way if any you can do to beat the ones that are giving you trouble and use them when you can.

For me it's the NFL season plus Fantasy Football. Last year I didn't play the game for 2 months from October till January of this year. Right now I checked my Steam profile and it says I've only played 1.9 hour in the past 2 weeks(this is the only game I play) and it was already declining before then compared to what it was normally. Right now I'm so locked into the season both following the playoff race and constantly checking in on my fantasy league whether its looking for free agents or studying my players match ups.
If it's anything like last year, I may not start playing more heavily until February of next year. It's not like I can't play of course, it's just that my attention isn't there so I don't want to force myself to play when my mind is constantly on something else. I'll still play if one of you guys ask me though. But I'll probably avoid randoms for a little while and mainly stick to stream/youtube monstering for my USF4 needs.
BTW do one of you guys go by the name "Gungnir". I received that invite but I'm not sure I know the name. Just want to know it's a GAF'er first before I accept.

At this point SFIV is what I do when I only have a few minutes and want some games, though I might get sucked in the vortex if I'm annoyed.
Rather play FFXIV, AOW3, or some roguelike right now. I'm waiting for 98UM really, just hope that November date is solid- starting to get a little worried.

Guys, please help. I don't know what the hell's going on, but recently there has been Extreme lag on Japanese PSN. I always had a silky smooth connection with almost everyone I played online before, as if playing versus. Tons of players, all with full green bars, both during the search and in lobby.
Lately, it's been absolutely unplayable. Lots of people flash during the search, but there are still usually a bunch of greens. Sometimes when you get into a lobby it's suddenly yellow or red bars (at which point someone naturally leaves or gets kicked).
Sometimes the green bars stay green, but once you get into a match, it's horrendous. Very frequent pauses of "Waiting for other player..." and very little responsiveness. It's not even "lag" at this point, you literally have no control at times. The bizarre thing is that often the other player seems completely unaffected. They are moving all over, pulling off combos and reacting well to stuff, while I can't even get a fireball out because not all the motions go through.
I had one particularly frustrating encounter tonight, where I convincingly demolished a Ken player during r1 (the connection seemed fine), only to be taunted at the start of r2, followed by unbearable lag and a painfully slow, drawn-out defeat. He did U2 from full screen, and I just held back - only to have it connect. It was not only crazy and annoying, but also somewhat suspicious.
Does anyone have any insight into the above symptoms? This isn't a one-off thing. If anyone has experienced something similar or plays in Japan and knows what I'm talking about then please chime in.
I'm playing WIRED with no other devices plugged into the router, and nothing using wi-fi. (And yes, I was definitely using my JP account as always).
Thanks in advance.

I really hate PC netcode, having at tough battle with my friend he's Chun Li i am messing around with Dan, both have little health left, a medium punch kills either of us, so he Jumps in lands in front of me then magically appeared behind me.
huh? The PC netcode has always been perfectly fine for me in endless. That doesn't sound like lag anyways.
JP players on them lagswitch tactics.
For reals, this was the first time I've suspected a genuine case of lag switching.
I mean, he was playing as Ken so I could give him the benefit of the doubt and say he was just being cocky. But still... surely it can't be everyone doing this!
I like beautiful night skies and Destiny has plenty of it.

It's probably coming. They'd be stupid not to.
They already did, its called USF4 on Playstation Now. Kappa

Messing around with Hugo. He's fun but so fucking weird. Why am I drawn to these weird ass characters?
I cannot believe what a piece of shit the PC version still is. It's absolutely ridiculous. Is anyone else getting kicked out of matches because you get a sign saying disconnected from Steam? Every single time I start up this game, it says performing first time setup. I don't even...
Crouch MK into L Whip of Love (very space dependent), EX Whip of Love or EX Aeolus Edge are true block strings. She can also cancel into Backflip. Crouch MP is a better poke overall anyway, it just lacks the range of MK and doesn't hit low.
Also just testing in training mode quickly, with a well-spaced Crouch MK, EX Senpusha will simply whiff.
I was getting kicked yesterday with the disconnected from Steam message yesterday in particular but I looked and they were doing Steam maintenance, although if it's been a consistent problem for you, it's probably on your end.
It's not consistent with the kicking, but the problems still persist with lag and straight drops from people that otherwise say green or yellow bars. It can't be on my end. Whenever I'm on, my speeds are fine and my computer is more than up to the task for the game. I know it's still a shitshow having checked the STEAM forums for the game yesterday. It's just crazy to me that I had a much smoother experience on my 360 back when.

i also randomly get the "logged out from steam" message and kicks me off once in a while. not consistent enough to notice a pattern, but annoying when it happens.

Same. You on PS4? We should get all the Fight GAF people on a raid or strike team some time. I see jlai on destiny often as well.
I still love SF4, though. I think about this damn game every day.

Unless its Guile or Poison you shouldn't be having issues with fireballs. Her forward dash and focus attack are both amazing, use them in conjunction with smart jumping. And I say this as a very defensive Gouken player who has huge issues with Makoto.

I don't play Makoto but you want to try the following to avoid fireballs:
1. Focus forward and dash a lot.
2. Neutral jump at the right distance.
3. Build U2 by focusing fireballs early on.
4. Use instant axe kick at the tip to make it safe.
5. Once in range, you should be able to stuff projectiles with cr. mp
As for her combos, just grind it out.

I don't play Makoto, but I've tried this and I keep getting punished for it. I'll focus dash a fireball and I'm usually either in a situation where I'm at frame disadvantage because the opponent will recover before I recover from my dash, or I'll focus dash and they'll recover with enough time to punish the focus dash. This happens most often with Ryu/Akuma
