I've been repeating this message on here for a while now. The so called "vortex" characters are still going to vortex. Cammy, Seth, Viper, and Yun get most of their pressure from soft knockdowns and DWU doesn't hurt them much if at all. Ibuki can react to DWU with whiffing a normal to time her jump in and then react to DWU with a kunai. The only exception is Akuma who has to commit and has no alternative to react to DWU when he's airborne.
Just like you said, it's everybody else who is hurting more. They lose their safe jumps or ambiguous jump in set ups. The vortex characters are going to keep vortex'ing. I think DWU hurts Ryu more than it does Cammy. And now I think Evil Ryu is a better vortex character than Akuma is now because of the changes in USF4 lol.

PS3. His throw range is ridiculous. Decent damage too.

Well it's still early, but I was never a fan of DWU since its announcement.
To be fair, the AI is an input reading motherfucker. Press jab, get ultra'd.
This.
Yay when I get home I'm going to do some stuff. I'm going to try and come up with some Poison tech from what I saw yesterday.

thanks for the free points in my first usf4 ranked match
When I saw the 0's, I thought about backing out because I didn't want to be your first
Hahaha can you link me dude?

Doesn't Akuma still have some leeway as well, due to the timing window after the Demon Flip and before the attack command?

You should see how fast Poison builds meter compared to other characters in fireball wars

Fear not, getting reacclimated to playing on stick has proven to be much more of a struggle than I thought after playing on keyboard pretty much exclusively since AE PC came out 2 years ago
Thanks, I was literally spending 90% of my time yesterday working on her combos and that thread. Today it's pressure and trying to find some good pressure setups for HP Mallet.

All my bad matchups got better, and I get +5 damage on standing fierce D:
I'll deal with it.
Can you give me a link dude?
I may not be as good as I used to be, but seriously, this "new" lag ruined everything. I came across an old opponent (good UK Guy player) and after one mach he kicks me, so does an old guile opponent etc.
Ended up seeing Problem X and the connection was so bad (used to quite good) we spent the whole match holding back until it cleared before giving up.
Worst thing is, I can't even play with my buddy in the US who I played 50% of all SF with now.
I haven't had a single ranked match that wasn't bad. Not that the connection was ever "great" but it used to just be slow. Now it SKIPS every few moments.

Its like watching a train wreck, incoming "This is how you don't play USF4" video soon.

That "Waiting for other players..." Mixup is godlike.
Is he using DeeJay or Elena? Because that would kind of defeat the purpose. Unless his trolling has reached a sublime level of yomi.
Damn, 4k people watching! EDIT: now it says 1k
He went through arcade mode with Decapre, Seth ended up whooping him for a long time I think, I jumped in towards the end of the struggle.
EDIT: He went through arcade mode with all the new characters, in a bit he'll jump online with the new characters.

Yea like I said before, I believe it's because the servers are currently getting bopped.
Every SF release has been kinda shit on week one then cleared up. I remember Vanilla/Super/Marvel were like this on the first week.
Marvel still being shit ofc.
I have a conundrum. Decapre is fascinating me so much (JAMA WO SURU NAAAAA!), but I kind of can't stand her Doll costume. I want to play as Crazy Udon Gladiator Decapre.
I bought the 360 Ultra upgrade on the US store when it came out, playing it on a Japanese copy of Super. Is there no way to get the newcomer DLC costumes now? Will I have to wait for the packaged version?
I bought a cheap US PS3 copy and the American upgrade to be able to play my PS3 friends (as the US DLC won't work with the Japanese PS3 Super I already own), but again no costumes.
tl;dr: Am I screwed on the new DLC costumes?
Also, how do we get character-specific icons and whatnot without Trials for the newcomers??
Thx!

Alright, I'll start taking names for the mini Ultra team tourney on Friday. Limit of 17 people. I've already taken the 18th spot ( ≖‿≖.
PSN only (sorry too lazy to also do a 360 one). Is 7 p.m. EST a good start time? That's what I'm leaning towards right now.
Just post "I wanna enter the PSN team tourney" and I'll sign you up when I find your post later. First come, first served.
Anyways, the format:
team battle
3 v 3
KoF style (called "Elimination" in Ultra)
double elimination (meaning there's a loser's bracket)
No 2/3 though, not even for grand finals. Maybe for a future tourney depending on how long this one takes.
I'll enter the name of everyone entered into whatever online randomizer I find first and the top 6 names get made Team Captains. The captains then get to choose who they want on their teams depending on the order their names came up in the randomizer. First name gets first pick, Second name goes next, so on so forth.
More importantly, captains get final say on team names.
If a member of someone's team doesn't show up then I'll let people look for someone else on here to replace them. I won't be willing to hold things up for long though.
Digital tears are your only prize.

Hugo has more health than all the fighters, has insane reach, but sucks at literally everything else.
His anti air grab is easy to avoid, just don't jump. His running grab is relatively slow, so jumping over it or stopping it outright is easy. His jumps are slow, his movement is slow. Hugo's first ultra is pretty devastating, takes off like 3/5 or 3/4 of your life.
As long as Hugo never gets close or you don't get trapped by him it should be a easy victory.
You're gonna have to wait for the DLC to show up for purchase on PSN/XBL or pay some rip-off price on eBay for a code.
So I downloaded the update and installed it, but when I start SSF4 disc(don't have AE) it doesn't detect that I have Ultra and just get normal SSF4! I installed the recent update(2014 ver 1.08), but still nothing.
Bought the upgrade from UAE PSN store(eu version, I think) and my SSF4 disc is region 1, am I screwed?

One thing I notice people do not do in videos is mixup running grab with lariat. They look exactly the same for a reason.
Isn't that his M.O.?

Still working on getting better with Poison.
But I am pretty satisfied with Guy's changes. his st.hp in the target combo has better range which pleases me. I always use st.mp>run slide as my bnb for setups .but not that st.hp is more reliable, i have a much easier time confirming things. And his increased walk speed definitely makes him a bit more footsies viable.

I think you need the other patches as well?
