Do your best, I believe in you.
|
Madcatz is having a buy one get one free sale on TE sticks. Think I'm finally gonna spring for it.
|
Hope supplies last til the 13th, cause I won't be able to afford it til then.
|
I probably would have gotten it if I hadn't gotten a Madcatz SE online at Walmart for 15 bucks. Once Lizardlick gets some good stock back in, I'm gonna make a nice Blinky Bear stick for myself.

If the new XB achievement icons are anything to go by...
Evil Ryu and Shin Akuma will be in the game, presumably as new boss characters. http://media.eventhubs.com/images/20..._ssf4ach01.jpg |
Oh, good. I was worried we'd get interesting characters there for a minute.
No Rolento, Elena or R.Mika but another Ryu and a 2nd Akuma, who is pretty much Ryu with a teleport. Guessing we'll be getting Charlie as well. |
Yessssss, Evil Ryu and Shin Akuma. Actually interested in this now :heart:
|
This doesn't rule out other characters, I would expect.
|
If they don't balance them, hope they're still usable offline and not on.
|
Hope they add an actual story this time.
|
When is this Arcade Edition supposed to hit live anyway?
|
They're adding new characters, stages and tweaking moves. I'm thinking it could be a new disc and we might see it around April. That's when the last two have been released.
|
If it's a disc, they can fuck off unless it's a tenner. They promised Super was the last SF4 disc.
In fact, the DLC can fuck off if it's not a tenner. |
I'd buy it at 15-20 as long as there's enough new content.
But yeah, if it's another 40 dollar disc, I don't know if I would buy it. |
You'd waffle, but you know we all would. :'(
|
Maybe the DLC, but hate being lied to by companies, so if it's on a disc, I'll be very cautious about buying from Capcom again.
|
Hot damn, my Makoto is actually starting to get kind of formidable.
yuhs |
God damnit can't tell what's crapping out my network so hard.
|
Khuntry is a rapey rapist who rapes people. :'(
|
Seriously.
Although I did go 3-1 against him with Chun-li. And that Dudley fight would have gone to a final round, had I not botched the end of the 4th round like that. So that's something, I suppose. |
|
Sorry for my no show, Fullmetal Alchemist marathon. Will join in future EBs.
|
I tell you there is nothing more hilarious than Makoto's ultra I breaking a move's armour properties. The dick punch has a glass shattering sound to go with it. Priceless.
|
It's especially great when Balrog runs full speed right into it.
"My fight money!" is right. It's all going toward medical bills for getting his testicles out of his stomach. |
Gay video for you.

No I didn't. It's youtube, so I assume it's busted on your end.

Some AWESOME matches tonight, gentlemen. Funky, you should of stuck around. The Juri vs Sakura rematch was pretty epic.
Think that actually puts it at 2-2, for that match. Shoulda stayed for a rubber match. Next time. Abel has definitely suffered, due to all the time spent on juri and makoto. Forgot how to play him from a strategy standpoint. And no wins from Makoto today. That made me sad. At least Juri has become pretty beastly. Might actually start playing ranked matches with her. |
I duno. Until I get my lag issues sorted, I may not be in the EBs too much. It's weird because my pc has no problems on the internet.

Sakura and Juri got something of a rivalry going. While working off the rust, I snuck in some new stuff for Sakura. My Chun fell a few pegs, but Ken got sharp.
Hilarious lag. Made going for quarter circles a chore. One time I imputed an EX senpuu and Sak just stood there to get kicked in the face by Bison. After a while I stopped getting mad. |

It wasn't as ridiculous as the other night, with your brother. Could literally put the controller down, grab a nacho, and take a sip of beer, inbetween hits.
|
Huh? Khuntry's not my bro, not by blood anyway. There's a whole lot of mutual understandings.
Unless you actually played my bro, who's infuriatingly adapt at this game. |
Was talking to Funky. We played his brother.
|
Oh.
Brotherly combat is highly competitive. Some of that old sibling rivalry effect never goes away. In the end, we just wanna impress our parents, even if they have no interest in Street Fighter. ...Sorry for going meta on ya. |

Just ordered my arcade stick parts. Excited to finally get a top-quality stick to play with.
|
I've got a top quality stick for you to play with
|
|
Can we have a simple fireball input for Fei Long's fucking kicks already?
|
Ugh.
LAG |
Kind of anticipating, and dreading getting my stick at the same time. I know I won't blow as many inputs as I do now, but I'm going to have to relearn everything, due to the different button layout. Probably won't play online again til I get used to it.

Nah, was definitely on Khuntry's end. No problems at all, when I fought you and roxer.
Khuntry is hard enough to fight as it is, but with lag on top of that? No thank you. Not fun at all. Too bad because he is like the perfect person to fight, to get better. Very tough to beat, but not impossible. |
Real sorry 'bout my bootleg connection guys. Its my shitty router.
|
Ran into Inthul. and got my as handed to me. couldn't get a single win not even one round.
I got mollywhopped. |
Who is Inthul?
|
A very very good fei long player.
|
Looked it up. Deadly.
|
He has a reputation for being one of the best fei long users. Also, for being kittens and rainbows nice.
|
yeah, strange combination

Yeah this'll work. Just aped SRK's icons and saved them to my Photobucket album. You're welcome to the link, though I don't think you guys will put much use to this. In truth I had other reasons for gathering those icons. While I'm at it, here's some FG lingo for those curious about how I write certain terms. AA = Anti-Air: Both used to describe a moves directional attack and an on-hit status. If Figgy catches me with Ryu's LP Shoryu on AA, for instance, he can follow up with Ryu's EX Hadou, or Shinku, or Ultra Hadou. You may have seen me follow Ken's HP Shoryu on AA with FP Shoryu. Other characters have such juggle opportunities when they connect on AA. j. = Jump (Not necessary to say direction usually) cr. = Crouch xx = Cancel: An interim character between moves when one is canceled to another. For instance you guys certainly know my Sak's: cr.HP xx EX Senpuu, Upper Shinku Ultra The Senpuu juggle doesn't link to anything, so notice the use of a comma between moves there. Links: Links are not cancels, and you can follow up an attack within an incredibly gay timing window. They do lead to some flashy and strong combos, but it's my least favorite mechanic of the game. Target Combos: What 3D fighters would call preset combos, these are strings of hits that were built to be 'dialed in'. Much more forgiving and fun than links, more rewarding than cancels. The 3rd Strike characters have a lot of these. |
Can't Link? Then Plink...
|
...ugh

Also decided to stick with a square gate on the joystick for the time being. Since I've been using one for over a year, and I prefer charge characters anyway, I'll probably be ok. It's all in preference anyway. |
I thought the sticks came with Sanwa parts?
Or did you not get a TE? |
Nah I got an SE for 15 bucks from Walmart. I've been using a Hori EX2, which has better parts than the shitty stuff the SE came with, but still isn't great. The upgrades cost about 50, so 65 bucks for the stuff in the TE isn't bad at all.
|
Love my Tekken 5 stick. Not incredibly anal about the parts so this works for my skill level.
Can't imagine using a hexagonal-gate though. Think the arcades here were square-gate too. |
My MAME pre-made stick has Happ parts and an octo-gate, and I don't much like it for when I play SSF2T. Have a hard time feeling the edges of the gate.

Hell no. And people would have bitched way more over something that was not 3rd Strike. I completely understand why Capcom moved on.

I'm hoping they are only Arcade mode bosses and not actually playable characters. I really, really don't think we need any more characters of this style/type and I'm not just saying that because I favour guys like Zangief and Hakan. We need more variety but I can't see us getting any more characters added to the AE if it's going to be a DLC. I hope we do, though, to compensate for two more Ryu characters and they better not add Charlie. |
Be nice if I could read Japanese. Gay that Shin Akuma and Evil Ryu are in. Yay, more shotos online.
|
The arcade scene in so alive over there.
|
Honestly, Evil Ryu and Oni Akuma make me dance with happiness that they're in, just from a storyline point of view.
Charlie would also be "fucking sick". |
Karin, oh god please Karin...
|
|
:'(
|
It's doubtless they will be playable. Can only hope for a Sethesque nerfing.
|
From a story POV I wanna see where this goes, they certainly teased this in some manner in SF4. Dark Ryu and Shin/Oni Akuma are stables of the Satsui no Hadou plot. Probably means we'll get Charlie after all.

Hop on tonight. Let's test it out
|
I have to go to a Christmas party in a few hours (girl I like is going), but maybe when I get back. Don't know when that will be though.
|
Make sure your awsesome custom joystick is your first icebreaker

She could mess with my custom joystick all she wanted.

Ok, technical question here.
I've just discovered I can pull off a specific and unlikely move in a specific situation. I went out on a limb and randomly tried it during Arcade mode and that's when I found it worked. I then went into training mode to see if I could pull it off again but I couldn't. I used the same characters in training that I was using in Arcade mode but I don't seem to be able to do it at all. Is this something to do with frames or something more "advanced" that I don't understand? If it's frames, any idea how I can learn exactly when to do it? |
I could play tonight, if anyone wants to. I'm fucking tired, but I'm just watching football all day tomorrow.
|
I might in like an hour

I did a fully charged focus attack on a grounded opponent, did the cancel thing as soon as it hit and pulled off an anti air move on them as they fell to their knees, which connected in Arcade mode.
I've been trying it over and over again in training and I can't reacreate it. |
I assume you did Hakan's Ultra where people fall on his belly? Yeah it connects. try it without the cancel up close, but I never did it myself. Got punished with it quite a few times.
|
No, it wasn't Hakans Ultra 2, I could do that long ago.
If you want to know, It was the Siberian Blizzard. I could pull it off from almost any situation. In the air, as I got up etc. I just couldn't do it after a focus attack. I had tried in the past but assumed it just wasn't possible. Now I discover it is and I want to perfect it so I'll be able to pull it out online whenever I like. |
There's been cases where air grabs after FAs connected for certain characters. The size of the crumbling opponent may also effect the outcome.
Yeah, good luck with that! |
I thought the size of the character would be a factor, that's why I tried it on Rufus. I remember I grabbed Funky's T.Hawk with it when he was just standing there. Guess they were both just bugs.
I saw videos of a Mokoto bug that causes her to suddenly appear on the other side of her opponent. I'm probably the only one that does this but I like finding new ways and situations to use a characters Ultras. Some are cool but not very effective like Seths Ex Multiple Shoryuken into his U2 and others are very helpful like Hakans FA into his U2. I just like trying out new situations. |

A 2 year old playing HD Remix as Zangief. I thought he was facing the AI but he's apparantly playing online. (Just got a case of Deja Vu typing this btw.)

He seems to be fighting another 2yo.
My 2yo nephew likes to press FP while walking forward, and he seems to have a crush on Makoto. |
So wait, are yun and yang the only new playable characters we are getting?

I'm hoping it's interesting characters. Alex, Hugo, Poison, Birdie, Eagle, Ono's mum just anyone that's interesting and different. I'm not even caring who it is anymore because my picks of Mika, Rolento, Q & Sodom are not going to be in so I just want someone interesting and no Charlie or any other clones like Violent Ken or Bulimic Rufus or whatever. |
They could troll us and drop Juni and Juli.
|
So were Rolento, R. Mika and Sodom all confirmed as not in?
