8 to 2? Fucked up.

That disappointments me.

It's still doable at least. Some games have the most fucked up button commands.

I can actually pull off all of zangief's moves. Even the super and ultra. Was never able to hit the spinning piledriver as a kid.

GAH. I'm good with Vega, but Vega sucks. I like Guile and he's good, but I suck at using him. I can't even begin to get the hang of anyone else.

With as hugely improved as guys like Zangief are, I desperately wish they'd have kept Vega up to snuff.

Vega and guile's supers and ultras are stupid tho. Can't see myself being able to hit that in the middle of a match up. Should have just been a back and forth motion like all the other charge characters.

Yeeeaaaah. Vega's ultra is nearly impossible to do when I need to do it. I segued well to Guile because he's so similar to Vega, but Guile has the same problem when it comes to Supers and Ultras. He at least keeps up better with other characters, but I'm totally crippled by certain things I can't get the hang of. That, and his air throw is a little less rangetastic than Vega's.

THAT, and I've missed entirely stationary characters with Vega's Ultra before.

Seriously humiliated a jump spammer with vega's air throw. He was either a little kid, or really really dumb, cause he just kept jumping into it.

lol yeah, first time I hit vega's ultra in training, he just zipped around and didn't even touch Dan. I was like, "Wait, what?" I guess it's mainly an anti air attack, and if you want to hit it on a grounded opponent, they have to be somewhere in the center of the screen.

Mad gay.

And that's exactly why I can't break from Guile/Vega. =\ I get such a massive boner for air throws, and I can't imagine being even mildly capable without them. Especially against Shoryu spammers--that's some funny shit, catching them on their way down.

Chun-li has an air throw, and Abel has a throw that takes people out of the air. I'm sure there's more tho.

It's probably mad powerful, hence the difficulty and limitations. Chargers tend to have ridiculously good normals tho, so you may not even need them, really.
Are you playing without a headset or what?

Same with Cammy's hooligan variable. That motion is obnoxious. I'd love for a patch to incorporate some HDR motions into the game. 1>9 motions and 360's are stupid, always have been.

I was today.

Those moves aren't that hard for me. Honestly, I have more trouble doing Ken's Ultra than Vega or Guile's.

Rose's Soul Throw could snatch you out of the air as well. Snatching a shoto out of a Hurricane Kick is awesome, but tough to time.

Yup. But, Cammy's bad ass even without that move, tho.

I know.

Bison's Psycho Crusher should be armored against chi attacks by default. He should also have his Psycho Banish from Vs. SNK.

That move is a pretty good overhead attack

Since the NXE update, any game with 0 achievement points can be deleted. Turn on your Xbox, view your profile, view your games, anything with 0 points I think can be deleted by pressing X

Fuck yeah. :cool:

I should rent that pile of crap, log into his account and get an achievement, but then that'd be punishing myself too since I'd have to play it and it's my 360.

After some training and a short session with RoXy, I've come to the following confirmations:

- You cannot cancel moves into Focus Attacks unless you have two or more EX Bars. Also, because of the slight nano-second lag on even the best connections, it would serve you right by pressing forward (or back) three times instead of two to dash out of Focus Attack. I am very happy I put FA on the left trigger.
- As with 3rd Strike, do not underestimate a good dash or backstep.

My Hori EX2 is the best thing that ever happened to me. Besides its weight, I have no complaints. So much better than those fightpads.

Are you serious? You might as well give him the raging demon ultra on top of that

If you wanna make it even better You could mod it with Sanwa or Seimitsu buttons or maybe switch the gates underneath the joystick for more fluid motions. The standard Hori buttons tend to be a little unresponsive and a little too loose.

The Psycho Crusher, just by looks alone, seems like it could bypass fireballs. His EX Psycho Crusher is armored but I rather it be standard.

If I had it my way his Psycho-Flame induced punches would negate chi attacks as well. I do like his slightly faster recovery from teleporting.

You want him to be fucking superman? He's already a beast in the right hands.

I want more!

Anymore than Superman and you're entering John Cena territory.

Ya know, the Revenge Meter is something wrestling games should look into.

Sound idea. Make it so certain moves are only executable or enhanced when the meter is filled up. Like you can only set a table on fire in Revenge mode or a Pedigree gets a more forceful animation than the regular one, etc.

Good stuff for a future thread on the matter.

I seen a bit of the SF4 movie that came with the SE game, and it's very good. I wanna watch the whole thing on DVD since people on YouTube have no fucking idea how to upload a vid without it skipping a scene.

Torrents are your friend.

I've already said earlier in the thread that I would do that if they were a problem, but I am perfectly happy with them right now. Everything feels great besides the weight of the stick itself.

Finally won my first match online playing as Zangief :D

Had some pretty epic bouts which we really close despite still losing in them so yeah I'm pretty pleased with that. I'm getting used to countering a bit more and timing my attacks just right still nowhere near what I'd call "good" but there is an improvement at least.

Does anyone know what Zangief says in one of his celebration taunts after winning a round? He says something, I'm guessing in Russian, when he points both his fingers in the air. I think he said the same thing in Street Fighter II where he points to the sky and then does a Hulk Hogan type pose. It's bugged me for a while now.

I tried searching Google but all I got was information saying he is a homosexual because he has the appearance of a stereotypical gay man by Japanese standard and he dislikes "Young beautiful ladies.". I never knew that.

Well his profile does say he enjoys wrestling bears.

Don't judge me.
