3 hours of sleep, got super street fighter 4, 9 hours played today.
haven't been playing online, just trying to learn inexperienced friends the game, but i have been hella enjoying...
genyeah, wut? after pissing around with him for a while, he seems a bit less intimidating. it will take me probably a rather long time to find a main (100 hours in vanilla sf4, no main) but i am open to liking more things this time around. not to mention learning the intricacies of the game engine itself rather than trying to play it like sf2, that is the reason i blow utter ass at sf4. too much time "LOL TICK SPD" in sf2, not enough time trying to learn combos and whatnot. going to put forth an effort to learning this game this time around.
also ibuki has a dictionaries worth of target combos, jesus christ. but like i am going to make an effort to learning ibuki. i need to get a "skill" character down, it would help my execution greatly.
as for gen, i need to level up a bit before i want to take using him seriously. so like ibuki will be my alt, but i need a main dude i can rely on. i like bison, but i hate doing his bnb, so...i shouldn't main him, and i need to stop using him. i generally enjoy chun, but i don't enjoy her defensivey playstyle due to her low health. i might have to go back to checking out honda. yeah he's defensive, but the man is a god damn brick house, and doing his lp xx hands is really fun, and his normals hit like a truck. im not going to say "well he's my man" because hurp durp no main in the 100 hours of sf4 i played, but honda will be a start. while investigating that, i have to put in more time with the new characters, never know who i may enjoy.
typing this shenanigans is me thinking out loud. more tldr's to come. and if any of y'all get super for the 360, hit me up, i need fightan bros.
*edit*
fuck everything i say, bison bison bison bison bison bison bison.
priority, bison, then anybody else afterwords.
*EDRDEF*
20 hours of ssfiv played...uhh...this game is fun? yeah, it's fun. got into some /v/ fightan irc thinger and i was playing a few people for like...7 hours or something. i have never played a fighting game for that long in one session before.
what i gained from that? i like bison again, starting to get in the groove of his c lk xx lk knee press. then i played a lot of gen. would you guess i lost a lot using gen? because i did. i don't understand how gen can be successful, but i know how to play him more today than i did yesterday.
*why twitter when i can edit!*
so i think i have a basic bison game going for me right now, which is fine, because from that i can refine what i know. my clk xx lk siscor is getting better, starting to get the hang of using different strength siscor kicks for different ranges (ie, heavy kick is unsafe on block unless far enough away to only get one hit). also dicking around in training mode, j mp to st rh is pretty decent. though im not too sure how good jmp is at an anti air...and like if i did land that jmp, i would rather ultra than st rh.
then there's ibuki and gen. still working on em, though gen more than ibuki by about 90%.
gen mantis u2 blows, but crane u2 is pretty damn good. i think im going to have to play with u1 and learn how to use crane u1. y'see, for what i know thus far...mantis u1 can be comboed into with super, and does damage. mantis u2 can only be comboed into super with certain big characters (hakan, gief, hawk, maby sagat), and does 0 damage (all focus damage, ie if they run away, which they will, and i fail to land an attack, it will have done nothing). crane u1 = anti air, kind of like the crane super but better. crane u2 = fuck awesome, can be used as an anti air but can also hit ground.
yadda yadda, i think u1 might be better but crane u2 is just too fun to use and watch.
*EDIDr*
yeah fuck gen. im going to put learning him on hold until the gen community re learns how to use this guy.
next non bison character i will focus on will be ibuki.
