At least you can play at all.

All your missing mainly is unimaginative Balrog players.

Heavy D/Vanessa > Dudley >>>>>>>>>>>> Balrog.

I agree, even from a fashion standpoint. He's still annoying online, though.

"Oh look I'm crouching. THERE'S NO WAY I'M CHARGING FOR SOMETHING, JUMP FORWARD LIKE AN ASS FOR ME, PLEASE."

Even Guile players mix it up for variety's sake.

I heard everyone was playing Ken.

Not successfully. Balrog is annoying as he is effective.

Check out the thread I accidentally put in casual. :'(

Just got done with another onlne session. Sent kalyx an invite but missed him by like 2 seconds.

And yeah, played like 20 matchesand they were all either against ken, sakura, or akuma. Played this one dude for a while who would just alternate between ken and sakura. But after I ABSOLUTELY DISMANTLED his sakura with my abel, he stuck with ken. Finished up with an incredibly epic Ryu vs Ken fight. With me being ken for a change. Was even on the molten rock stage for added pelvic-thrustingly epicness.

First round was pretty technical tbh. Lots of nice combos, wake ups, and general zoning strategy. Beat him with a wake up EX shoryuken. Second round was a lot sloppier, as I spent the second half of the round trying to catch him with my Ultra, but failed miserabley, due to my previously mentioned problems with the 360 controller. o he won that round.

Third round was so awesome you'd think it was staged. Traded shoryukens at the start of the match, and just traded hits the whole round. Both of us went for our supers and both wereavoided. At the very end, we both have a sliver of lfe left, and he goes for ryu's ultra. I see it coming tho and have time to jump straight up over the haduken. He jumps in, and I FINALLY hit ken's ultra combo shoryuken to take him out of the air and win the match.

I totally came in my pantsafter that one.

*JIZZED... IN YOUR PANTS

I like to use everyone, but I'm definitely going to be maining abel. Was kicking ass as E.Honda for a little while too.

El Fuete was completely useless, however. His little running like a fucking idiot move has good potential, cause you can do a couple fake outs and goade the other person into making themselves vunerable, but it's going to take a while o get good at it.

So for the moment, I hate el fuerte.

I'm sorry, I know I've mentioned this already, but I still can't get over the fact that Gouken has simply been knocked unconcious somewhere, all this time.

Seriously, did they get Uwe Boll to write the story?

I was unlocking Akuma and Gouken, which pretty much means I'm done with the roster (fuck Seth). Kinda sad at the amount of work they want for colors. Not to unlock a color edit mode, but just colors. You'd think preset colors went out with Tekken 4, but here we are. Which leads me to one of those wish lists...

Hypothetical "Street Fighter 4: Championship Edition/Turbo/Hyper Fighter/Dash"

• Color Edit Mode. Older games had it for free, and I wanna be really demanding, shoot us some parts and attire so we could edit our new 3D modeled characters. One of Sakura's post fight messages is suggesting to Chun-Li that they switch costumes. A sign of things already on Capcom's minds?
• Online lobbies should have one or two more spaces. Doesn't have to have six like HD Remix, but two is a bit lazy.
• Like HD Remix, blind character select for Rank Matches. I don't need to see who my opponent is going to choose and vice versa. Look how quick the process goes in HD Remix without some jackoff trying to counter-pick your character.
• As far as new characters, I think the three major eras should be represented. Karin from Alpha, Dee Jay from SF2, and Yun or Ibuki from SF3. Though it seems Dee Jay and T. Hawk is confirmed for some sort of update in the future.
• That's it, this game is fucking awesome.

He makes me laugh. I imagine there's a deadly character under his stupidity, I'll never know due to my allergies to silly character designs.

Better than him turing out to be a ghost. Then they'd shoehorn other powers and shit.

Femme Fatale pack comes out soon. Chun li's new outfit is good, but it's not her alpha suit like I was hoping. Cammy's is her killer bee outfit, and looks awesome. Sakura has a karate gi thing going on that looks kinda neato. C.Viper and Rose's are forgettable.

Sakura + gi = Makoto? :?:

Purely in terms of appearance tho.

Rose looks hot in her alternate. Viper has a stupid one. And you'd think Chun-Li's alternate would be her Alpha attire. Maybe next time.

From the waist up, kinda

It's different enough. Just an oversized top over gym clothes, probably Ryu's.

Ahhhh I see

I should get this. I am cheap though.

Time Attack stage 11 is awesome. The rules are for both you and CPOU:

No Ultras, No Throw Escape, No EX Special, No Target Combos (not even sure what that one is), No Dashing and it's 12 stages of just SSF2 characters, ending with Balrog, Vega, Sagat, Bison. Pure SSF2T.

Just played a bit more then, still haven't won an online match but had a fun series of 4 matches against some random guy and gotten used to Ryu. I'm having a bit of trouble pulling off a Shoyryouken or however you spell it, 8/10 in training I can pull it off but if I try in an online/offline match it tends to either be a Hadoken or a normal punch.

If anyone feels like having a match/easy win I'm on PSN, my tags JCMoorehead

I wish there was a "preview" button for the trisal mode, where it shows the cpu doing the combo. Pretty much every other fighting game has something like it, and the fact that street fighter,which has much more precise timing requirements, doesn't have it, is kind of bullshit. Makes the trials like 10 times harder than they ought to be, cause you have no idea what the timing is for each move in a combo.

Yeah, word. Games that don't have that are annoying.

Was just at Blockbuster and they had 1 copy. I dunno for some reason I passed. :(

I know why. Cause ur dumbbbbbbb

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaat? :eek:

I think it's because deep down I know I will love it and want to buy it, but I don't have $60.

Probably because you spent mad change getting emulation rig?

Rent bullet witch then. You won't want to buy that.

I went to get that Sonic Genesis Collection, but they have never heard of it. :wtf:

Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh :mad:

My brother rented that and defiled my 360 with it, even after I told him 568794687934 times that is was the worst game of the year. Then he logged into my profile and played it. Now it looks I played that turd.

Did he get any achiement points? Because if he didn't you can delete it off your list

Thankfully he didn't. Also, how do I go about doing that?

Nah, dude. I would unlock Seth just to beat it with him. His ending is one of the few good ones, and actually kind of important.

I am pretty happy at the moment.

As of recently, I've been trolling CheapAssGamer (as everyone in here should) and noticed that Gamestop was selling old Hori EX2 joysticks for 39.99. I didn't think it was much of a chance, considering every website on earth is out of nearly every type of arcade joystick, and I'm sure plenty of gamers have scoured the earth for anything that will work for SFIV. But I checked the store locator on the website, and low and behold...a Gamestop an hour away had one.

So I called up and they had it and I had them reserve it for me. All the way in Winder, GA (middle of nowhere), but it was close enough to UGA that I figured I would just make a day out of it.

So I get in the store and get in line, and the guy in front of me asks the guy at the counter how many fightsticks they have for any console at the store. I am absolutely relieved that I reserved it a few hours earlier, because I'm pretty positive this guy might have bought it had he been given a chance. Luckily, the store guy informed him mine was reserved...and he bought the other two fightsticks they had left. The guy said he ran a gaming website and needed the Wii Fightsticks for a Tatsunoko vs. Capcom tourneys going on soon.

So hopefully when I get home tomorrow I will open it up and find it in good condition. If not, I'll just buy some better parts for it. 40 bucks for a stick is a steal.

Want an arcade stick so bad.

O Rly?

The only thing that pisses me off is the 8 o' clock to 2 o' clock motion for Fei Lons's flying kicks. I got so used to SSF2THDR's fireball motion.

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.

lol

nice

I just got through Arcade on Hardest difficulty. I got a 30G acheivement and nothing else. I was expecting to get some artwork or a special video or something.

30g is pretty good tho.

Yeah. Is the 30G the biggest achievement the game has?

I hate being able to do the best links on the computer or my brother, but absolutely failing to do anything really useful in a Ranked Match. None of my two-n-ones seem to come out, nor do I even go for them when the time is right. It's like I freeze up online, even against the scrubbiest people.

I get that to. I've not played a rank match but from time to time, in online competition on almost any game, my skills can just melt away. Other times, I can focus and have a good match up. Winning or losing doesn't matter as much to me as being able to actually pull off a good fight against an opponent.

It's a state of mind thing. I'm much too focused on winning I'm not concerned with getting to that point.

I'm honestly like on a 15 ranked losing streak

Totally kicking ass right now. Must be scrub night cause these guys are getting it.

Well, if you are losing ranked matches, wouldn't you end up getting paired against crappier guys?

Only if* I preferred it.

Me, RoXer, and Fignuts are having to trade spots to simulate a lobby. This is the stupidest thing I've had to do in an online game since... playing games online.

There is a patch coming out in a while. Maybe they'll fix it.

I know! :mad:

Finaly fucking beat Roxer. Of course he had Rufus, so I dunno If I wanna count that as a victory.

RoXer's Fei Long and Akuma are the ones to get at.

We had a supplementary session a while after our failed three-way, and for a few matches, his Akuma actually caused me to lose my cool. I did put Ken's forward-MK to some new-found usage, and standing Focus Attacks are becoming a normal part of my game. Now if only I could implement Focus Cancels in a useful way.

His Akuma is a god damn whore. Although my Gouken is getting better, to the point where almost every round was down to slivers.

His fireball barrage can be avoided (assuming that's your issue with him), granted you get over the fact that you have to alter a favored style of movement. I should thank him, he's teaching me to thank three times before a single jump.

I cannot buy a fucking win I swear to god.

I'm taking this thing back. I want to cry.
