Awesome. Hands down. Anyone have it for 360? If so, whats your gamertag, i'm looking for a challenge.
-
Out of curiosity, you using the default controller? I've heard it can be a huge pain in the ass, but then again I use the GNC controller for GG.
-
Yeah im using the default. And the only problem I have is my left buddon on my D-pad. I have to press it REALLY hard for it to actually go. But i'm trading that controller to my brother for a different one with a d-pad that works perfectly fine.
-
I picked up one of the FightPads for it and it's absolutely wonderful. Currently with a little under an 80% win ratio online over 80 matches so far. Haven't played too much recently though because I got Star Ocean 4 and I should have MadWorld on Monday.
I'll probably go back to it in a week or so. It's extremely good. I have to go back to eventually do all of the online achievements. I've got win 100 matches and play 100/200/500 matches left. And I guess the get one of every medal (missing "win with a perfect" and I think two others) and get 1000 medals achievements too.
-
i use a hori. though, i haven't played in about a month or so. if anyone is up for online i can buy a gamecard (otherwise if i want to cancel, i have to call microsoft, and that's annoying)
gt- vladgd
i tend to play mainly balrog because he's easy to play. but i also dabble in honda (not too good with him, but OCHIO THROW), guile(honestly, sucks compared to sf2 guile), bison (ultra motions that make teleports are the reason he isn't my main).
*edit*
right i got a 3 month gamecard. figure i save money over the 12 month thing because im not consistently on xbl, unless i get a few people to play street fightans with.
im going to emphasize that i do have "super street fighter II turbo HD remix" since well, that game kicks ass.
*edit*
i really want to learn gief in 4, but i can't fucking do it. his moves are similar to those in sf2, but he just feels like a completely different character. that and zangief never used his super in 2, it's almost assumed you can 720 in 4. GUESS ILL STICK TO BALROG, even though im not quite sure what all his stuff does, i have the highest success using him. poke, rush, and headbutts seem to get to most people. maby like zangief actually feels like a sluggish slow sonbitch in 4, when in 2, didn't matter, he rapes.
double strange with the tier card (which i know means jack shit unless you are pro) because gief sucks in 2, and kicks ass in 4. can't deny the stupid priority on the lariat though, its the only thing i can really connect on most people, that and standing forwards are good.
ohh well.
-
I can teach you a good strat with Zangief, although I don't use him often, I know some "cheap" moves as people call em, lol. How often are you on live? Because I still haven't seen you on yet.
-
not often
*edit*
well im off tomorrow, and if i check the forum and you say whatsup, anytime from now(9:20 est) to....7am est.
*edit*
fuck learning zangief. he isn't fun to play in street fighter 4, i won't waste any more of my time trying to learn him. yeah i figured the super/ultra is doable if you jump buffer the 720, but god, i hate playing as him in the context of this game. it's ok if i main him in 2, i don't need to main him in 4.
balrog is my current main. and since balrog is fucking awesome, and doesn't need to use his damn throw loops like he did in 2(never could do em), i like him. plus TAP through projectiles is awesome, and TAP -> super is fun if it lands. plus like, because of him i can't really play characters with "mash" moves since i jab so goddamn much(ESPECIALLY against gief, jab my way out of SPD range every time he gets close). think i did that with gief in 2 as well. so much shit you can ruin with a simple jab.
-
Well i'll leave my live on, and just msg me or invite me to a party on there or something when you get on.
-
so i think i beat you once with dhalsim...somehow. then again with guile.
anywho, bison = new main.
-
am I a weeaboo for thinking you meant "spanish guy with claws" at first when you said "Balrog"
Oh, topic. This would probably be a game I'd pick up if I ever bought a 360. What are some of the game's advantages to older Street Fighter games?
-
like HDremix
ONLINE PLAY that doesn't suck
and it only makes you weeaboo if you turn on the jp voices. bison has a fucking kickass english VA (same with like zangief, and balrog as well)
MY FIGHT MONEYYYYYYYYYYYyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
all capcom needs to do is hdremixes of 3s and alpha and BAM i won't leave my room ever.
-
It'd probably take them another 10 years to ever get close to finishing HDRemixes of either of those two. 3S would take forever due to the huge amounts of animation and SFA3 because of the amount of characters. I honestly really hate the art from the SF2 HDRemix so I'd rather they just keep what they've got.
I turn on the JP voices for characters that are asian or make sense to have them like Ryu, Akuma, Gouken, Gen, and some others. Otherwise it's all english because that makes a ton more sense for Dhalsim (since english is India's official language), Guile, Balrog and the others.
-
so i think i beat you once with dhalsim...somehow. then again with guile.
anywho, bison = new main.
Correct, but I wasn't using Blanka. That's why :P
You didn't beat me at all when I was Blanka. But still, fun fun.
-
blanka is really damn hard to deal with.
*edit*
this game is pissing me off
like 20 championship mode matches. 2 wins. and like maby 3 games where i DIDN'T lose both rounds.
what the fuck, it's like i never played a fighting game before. or what, am i suppoed to turtle like everyone else? if that's the case, im not playing this game anymore. jumping around the opposite side of the screen waiting for your opponent to make a move because if i make a move i get fucked in the ass IS NOT FUN.
*edit* 40 fucking games, 2 fucking wins
it doesn't help that im not comfortable with any of the characters on the goddamn roster.
*edit*
well i got 106gp, figure ill take a break. made it to round 2 (IE win round 1, IE win at all) about 5 times in that. you get one gp for a loss, about 10-15 per round 2 win (im ny experience) and the same for losing round 3 (only made it to round 3 one time)
basically im getting my ass kicked, horribly. id fucking hate to be one of those "this is my first fightan, how do i do a fireball" because there is no fucking way a player like that could have fun, let alone unlock many of the characters.
PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE, im down for games if y'all hit me up. im generally not a whiny bitch like i am on these here forums. hopefully newf can attest to that.
the big basic things i need to work on are as follows.
-quit fucking up supers/ultras into teleports, it's fucking hard to not teleport since all you have to do is "wiggle joystick in basically any direction, hit all 3 punches OR kicks" even though i try to be very accurate with "charge back, forward, back, forward, KKK" it somehow reads it as "dragon punch animation (either direction works, it determines where you go) KKK" they SHOULD remove the kick motion for that and EVERYTHING IS SOLVED. the kick input isn't needed, it should be just f, df, f (or b, db, b) PPP, but no, they basically require you to be dead fucking on with your input or else you teleport, get punished, and most likely lose the round, as i have MANY MANY MANY times.
-quit goddamn sliding on accident. zangief in sf2 basically embedded in my brain that cr roundhouse fucking rocks, so i slide, they block, and punish. happends every single round i play, it's really hard to not accidentally do.
-get my bnb combos down to reaction. IE, "opening...bnb combo" rather than "opening and fuck up what i had going"
-be more precise with my joystick. so many times i get a combo that ends in lk knee press, but i do a headstomp instead. it never really happened much in 2, but in this game it's too easy to hit up by accident from the down back position.
-get my knee presses down, know what to use when, this includes ex moves.
-play more, i ain't getting better if i take another 2 month break.
anyway, rant rant. i do have fun, when im having close matches. even if i lose, if it's a good fight, im having fun. but if im basically bending over for the opponent, what fun is that. it's not much different if i put down the stick to come rant in this post that nobody will read because i edited it into a TLDR. there's a difference between "ok, he is better than me, but i can learn from fighting against this guy" and "ok this guy is basically the reincarnated form of jesus, i can't even land two punches on him, if i land a hit AT ALL"
and the biggest thing
-quit raging, it's a game, rage will only make you play worse due to frustration. have fun, relax, and enjoy the vidya.
all of that text brought to you by my 2 hours of losing in championship mode. didn't fight any rufuses, else i would have typed more. though, if i fought more blankas it would be the same.
-
LoL, like I said man, choose your main, (Which im assuming is Bison now) and I'll teach you some good ways to play him, espically since hes a charge character like Blanka.
P.s ; I love blanka! :)
-
headpress headpress headpress
"hes totally going to do another headpress"
whiff devils reverse
"the fuck, ok"
ex head press, slide, stmk, sthk
"FFFFFFFFFFFFF"
i just need to work on my motions, work in combos into my game, and get the focus attack in my game.
throws too....i really never throw unless im zangief. it's a bad habit.
*edit*
yo we could work on getting some icons and titles, since they work in player matches and all.

I played 3 Champ Mode fights before stopping. Two Guiles and a Balrog. From what I've seen, everyone just plays too defensive. I main Cammy and it's like great, you're just cr.blocking and I can't do anything. Guess I'll just do Cannon Strikes to build bar. So then they just stop moving entirely in Guile's case and so I go over and eat flash kicks because Cammy can't approach him at all. I did bait one of them into whiffing flash kicks enough to win but ugh, I'll be staying out of CMode I think. I need to just start punching through Player Matches with random characters. I'm currently 64-22 so getting 100 wins shouldn't take too long.
-
played another two hours of championship mode.
up to 348gp which hit me up to rank B in the starting bracket (g3 iirc)
taking a breather because i FINALLY FUCKING WON. winning gave me 78gp. probably more than normal because i racked up over 2k cp while doing so (i assume the higher the cp you get, the more gp you get when you win/lose a fight). think it went rufus(a bad rufus...because i think he's the first one ive beaten), dan (the guy must have picked him on accident, he sucked. not that dan sucks, ive faught good dans but that guy...just say i perfected him round 1), then guile. only beat guile because those flash kicks man, im distanced properly, i know they are coming, i block them, and i punish him. also he is like me and sometimes goes "ULTRA IS FULL I DON"T CARE IF IT DOESNT LAND IM DOING IT" so by my previous fail of waiting till he says "three" after whiffing....you execute your ultra when he's midair of his second flashkick. because if guile whiffs his ultra, he doesn't make it to three, and the ultra ends at two, so punish him before then.
anywho, starting to get the knee press into actual combos now, and im starting to just get better and have more fun. even though i MABY win one out of every 7 or so matches.
rufus is still a pain, but im starting to figure him out. blanka is a total fucking mystery, i do not know how to approach him, the electricity doesn't make matters easier. and ken, dude, in super turbo those fierce dragon punches weren't too bad. but those fuckers seem to land on me more often than not, when i know im blocking, they hurt, and not only that, THEY DO THEM ALL THE TIME.
figures id be better against ken by now, but i guess not. im so bad at this game a ken that basically only spammed fierce dragon punch, with a few crossups, kicked my ass into the ground. and "he's totally going to dragon punch....THROW" doesn't make things better. methinks i should fight ken like gief, STAY AWAY, and annoy the piss out of him with dr and headstomp, spammy kens anyway. i ain't fraid to stay back doing headstomps and devils reverse to confuse you.
also sagat is fun to play against(i seem to win more against sagat), which is good, because sagat is as common as ken.
anything else? wtb sanwa jlf joystick and semitsu buttons to make an arcade controller. maby it would help my input problem.
-
Every single person I've fought in CMode has been completely defensive. As in, Ken will crouch in the corner and only use F.Shoryuken which Cammy can't even fight against. Everything she does just gets taken out by the SRK. Have to just hope they whif and I can capitalize, which is really boring and annoying.
So then I jumped over to Player Matches hoping to find more varied opponents. Sagat, Sagat, Sagat, Sagat, Akuma, Sagat, Sagat. And every single one except for the Akuma was overly defensive. I won five of those but still, it's just annoying and boring and is why I gave up on playing fighting games so long ago. And I almost perfected that Akuma.
I'm hoping BlazBlue is as offensive oriented as it seems to be. I want some negative feedback on overly defensive play.
-
if cammy is getting you down, try a different character. i hella loved zangief in sf2, but i can't stand playing him in this game. not to mention i jumped from rog to guile to honda to rog, to guile to bison to rog to guile....back to bison again. finally im starting to settle down and keep playing a singular character.
anywho, im down to try blazblue if not only for the cat loli. and KOFXII, maby it will change my opinion on team based fightans (cvs rubbed me the wrong way). i hope either game has it's charge characters. motion characters (i give gief an exception) are teh suck.
-
I'm hoping BlazBlue is as offensive oriented as it seems to be. I want some negative feedback on overly defensive play.
I know I've said this before, but being made by the same people that did GG I'm sure it will be. Hell, GG gives you a penalty if you play too defensively. Also from what I hear Blazblue will be a bit less complex than GG, but this is honestly a good thing considering the mass amount of moves what not in GG.
-
i think im starting to like gief.
i did the hardest giefing ive ever done to someone, and it FELT FUCKING FANTASTIC. 2x atomic suplex -> dizzy -> ULTIMATE ATOMIC BUSTER
im pretty sure what i was doing was entirely easily counterable. but if it wasn't, i can see why gief is easymode now.
fucking airbuffering the 360/720 is something i wish i had in super turbo. knocked down opponent, jump over to the other side of their body doing a 720 whilst in the air, and hitting all 3 punches as i land, grabbing them for the ultra as they get up. ill have to do some playtesting on championship mode (was basically pissing around in player matches with this dude, going random half the time [random means i get rose....]) but he could be a fun character when i get the hang of him.
still, as good as a good giefing is to give, against good people, it's hard work getting in range. bison is still my main, and i intend on it to stay that way. my major issue at the moment is headstomps coming out when they should be lk or mk knee presses, nothing practice can't fix.
learning more each day i play, having lots of fun while im at it.
-
Almost perfected a Fei-Long but we traded hits on the last hit. Then I almost perfected a Ryu but he ragequit. That made me laugh. Imagine that! Your "top tier" character can be destroyed by a lowly Cammy and all your douchebaggy defensive playing means nothing.

Haha, nice.
-
tiers don't make up for player skill.
my easiest matchup is vs sagat, and we all know sagat is on the top of the tier list. my hardest matchups are ken, blanka, and fuerte.
though i admit, unless the cammy player can grab worth a damn, they aren't too hard to take out. though like, she's a lot better in 4 than in 2. in 2, i figured she sucked as much as fei long.
-
I rarely ever throw unless it's through EX hooligan. In fact, throwing would slow things down too much.
I almost constantly do cannon strikes while moving forward to gain bar and eventually to force them to whiff with some move and then abuse priority on cannon spike to win out over almost everything. EX spiral arrows cut through fireballs too and EX hooligan tracks and moves very quickly.
My worst matchup is probably Blanka or E. Honda.
Fuerte, Akuma and Dhalsim seem to be my easiest. I am 100% rushdown. It's also surprising how often people will fall for a jab back knuckle when they wake up. It doesn't even come close to them and whoops they go uppercut and eat some cannon spike.
I'd say if a Cammy has to rely on ground throws, they're playing her wrong and are likely yet another defensive-minded scrub.
The guy who ragequit on me had to at least be somewhat skilled though. He was using Ryu's last training challenge title and I don't even have that.
-
Whats your gamertag eggman, i'd like to play a few rounds against you. P.s - I'm a blanka user.
-
i wouldn't call them a scrub if they are winning. annoying as it is, being defensive is a valid tactic.
also with your style of play, fucking balrog is the perfect character for you. fucking rufus is the perfect character for you.
can't really say every character is built for offense. like bison v blanka, i pretty much have to bait blanka into doing something before i can make a real attack myself, else i get boned.
also before im done with this post, championship mode is all for the points, do whatever you can to win. if i have low life, on the final match of the final round, ill stay back bait people into trying to counter headstomp so i can hit them with a devils reverse. that's why i like player matches, because i don't really beat myself up for losing, since there was nothing really to gain from winning.
-
I think he's more talking about how most people don't even think about what other tactics are available in the first place, and simply do what everyone else does. They're not really learning the game, they're simply learning one of the possible tactics and sticking to it, because they can't do anything else.
-
Yeah, they're basically just trying to mimic what everyone else does. It's annoying.
Also, I managed to win three tournaments in a row against Sagat, Sagat, Sagat, Rufus, Sagat, Dhalsim, Zangief, Sagat, and Ryu. Except I was at a friend's house. And I was using the default 360 controller. WTF.
I try to stick to player matches though. No pressure there.

rage post
ok, it isn't me being a bad loser (sort of) but there's something about street fighter 4, that makes say losing nearly every single round rage inducing.
figured i had a temper problem with losing. after playing some HD REMIX, i can verify that that isn't it. playing a mix of zangief, and dee jay, losing 3/4 of the time, and not once did i get angry or frustrated, i was having fun the entire time.
something about the mechanics of street fighter 4 that make losing suck. im going to go out on a limb and say the high vitality of every character, the longer matches, and just the complexity of the game make it frustrating for a beginner of the game to get the hang of. i like the game, but unless i understand the game more, im probably going to start playing less and less. i have over 50 hours logged on and i can't even find a character im comfortable enough with to main, there is a problem here. street fighter 2, i fuckin got comfortable with guile right away, i then quickly learned dee jay to have him be my second main. for some reason while playing at a friends house on random, i stumbled apon gief, whom i continue to use to this day after a glorious night of asskickery.
maby i don't like the complexity of 4, maby i don't like matches that last longer than 30 seconds, maby i just don't like that smug look on kens face. ill keep on truckin, i have to get decent at this motherfucker eventually.
blablabla, if hdremix was a person, id marry it. I WOULD ALMOST GO TO COMPARE HD REMIX TO SOMETHING LIKE BRAWL AS MUCH AS I HATE TO ADMIT. it's easy to learn, and it's fun(well...depending on the person, i got sick of smash bros back when melee was out, but obviously it's popular for a reason), nuff said. though, like, hard to master, that's just what keeps you hooked. "ok i know how to play, i can hold my own, each fight there's something to learn and apply to my game, the drive to get better keeps me playing, playing is fun, getting better is fun, ??? FUCKIN PROFIT"
you know, it doesn't matter what really the fighting game is about. if you have a few bros to hang out with, they are roughly your skill level, good times are to be had.

(http://fc07.deviantart.com/images/i/2003/47/8/a/Final_Atomic_Buster.jpg)
my true calling, WHY DID I EVER LEAVE YOU GIEF, WHY?!
every single time i hear that "FINAL.......ATOMIC......BUSTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA" a tear comes out of my eye in happiness. i don't fucking care if i win the game, but for that moment, i fucking destroyed that guy.
tried learning chun-li, but im not pro enough to use her. the hours and hours and hours of gief i played in 2, while they don't help much here...ITS STILL GIEF AND I STILL LOVE HIM!
sorry eggman, but it was the only FAB image i could find.
ps: im still losing 9 out of every 10 games i play on championship mode. player matches are iffy, sometimes you find a bro who is roughly your skill level (i went 14 and 25 with this one guy, he played a mean gouken, and yet it was good fun....when he didn't counter, fuck that move), others....it's like they cloned justin wong and he wants to destroy me. AND AND AND, flowchart kens beat me. that's how bad i suck. even "jump in, kick, kick, mixup throw/uppercut...uppercut...uppercut...throw crossup" fucks my day. starting to think i shouldn't play fighting games anymore, one of dem genres where being a person who is slow to learn, REALLY sucks ass. not like i can 'get lucky' like i can in super turbo, or random shock combos in ut2k4. ill probably continue to rant, because that's what i do. it's unfortunate i can't stop playing this damn game, it's like im possessed to play more. 50 something hours logged on and nearly 700 matches and counting....who fuckin knows, maby if i stick with a character for once, ill probably be a challenge to these random dudes.
*edit*
apparently i end the day nearly the opposite as i started it. before work today, i fought a zangief player, i was chun li. i perfected him, then destroyed him (non perfect, but close), he disconnected, i was happy.
playing championship today (6am) as zangief got to the final round (yeah wtf?) akuma....he perfects me...then rapes me second round.
i decide whatever, i made it to the final round, im cool. plus the guy played a damn good keepaway, props to him.
few minutes later...final round again...who do i fight? SAME AKUMA AS LAST TIME...
i beat him 2-0 (VERY VERY VERY VERY GODDAMN CLOSE SECOND ROUND LIKE JESUS FUCKING CHRIST CLOSE)
that's why i keep on playing, victories like that in the mountains and mountains of losses just feel damn good. it's like fuckin potato chips, "just one more round...ONE MORE ROUND"
*edit*
1268gp nigga
ohh and i smashed my ex2 into my knee several times, i hoped i broke it, but i only heavily dented the metal bottom, which i then bent back into place. i don't take much kindly to SUPER KEEPAWAY AKUMAS THAT SPAM EVERY TYPE OF FIREBALL IMAGINABLE(valid strategy for akuma, annoying, but what else is he to do) AND FIND THE TIME TO TAUNT YOU WHILE THEY DO SO(sorry, but that's rude. you try and be the gief player in this matchup, not fun at all), AND ARE COCKY ENOUGH TO WHISPER YOU DEATH THREATS FOR BEATING YOU IN A VIDEOGAME OVER THE INTERNET(grow up).
anyway, sometimes people can't seem to deal with my crossup HK atomic suplex mixed up with the ex version (same thing only it can absorb an attack and still connect). last championship i beat was 1-1 on a sagat. he opens up with some shit that halves my health, and leaves me on the other side of the screen. i close the ground....and do my atomic suplex shenanigans, i must have timed it right since he either didn't try to do an uppercut, or couldn't do an uppercut, because that nigga was dead, and his cp became mine ;o
anyway, y'all know me by now heavily edited TLDR shit nobody reads about me ranting is what i do.
-
Hooray, got my 100 wins achievement and Sunny Daze, so now I just need to...play 300 more matches...guh..
I also actually won a tournament in Championship Mode. Fought a Balrog that I was sure I'd lose against (Balrog's final training title, icon I've never seen before, lots and lots of points) but ended up creaming him due to smart use of hooligans, which for whatever reason he never headbutted against. Oh well! I was kinda mad though as my Finals opponent was an Akuma and normally I'd be happy about that because he's an easy character to beat, but he also had very little GP/CP so I got like nothing from that fight.
-
So I played a bit of this today and I realized that I completely suck at it, and then beat a few of my friends. Also the music in this game is rather horrible. I liked what third strike did, but this was just meh. Then again I don't think anything will impress me like the GG soundtrack.
-
if you aren't at minimum "good" at the game, you will get obliterated online. also i haven't played in like 3 days. feels good man.
-
switched mains again after raging whilst being zangief. chun li is my new home girl. sure i win more with gief, and bison...but they aint as fun to play as chun.
also like, hori's are fucking durable. i smashed the thing with my knee a while back and it works fine even after heavily denting the steel bottom. after fighting a sagat who played like an ADD kid who had too much candy (it was like he was spaming shit, and my controller was unplugged...because nothing i did came out) i smashed my fist against the joystick with force intending to break the thing, only to loosen the ball top. crazy glue and screwing it back on (surprised it wasn't glued in in the first place, fucker was on tight) and it's fine.
being on the receiving end of gief this time, i realize how bullshit he is at my level of play. if i make a mistake, i get hit hard, if he has ultra, i lose. also what the fuck is up with gief's atomic suplex BEATING HIS FUCKING ULTRA. this gief i fought acted as if he hacked the game to make shit have priority over mine. doesn't help that if he coughs on me, i lose half my health bar(probably one shot seth with a jab), when it takes 30 attacks to dent him.
anywho, i really fucking want to stop playing this game, i hate it. but for some reason, i can't quit playing it, which is why when im raging and attempting to break the controller, im pissed when it still works fine, because because of that im still playing the damn game.
ive said the same thing 5 times over, whatever. to end my bad FOURTY MATCHES IN A ROW LOSING STREAK i did beat an akuma with a few marvelous psychic ultra's. "ohh no, in a corner, knocked down...CHARGE FOR ULTRA HES GOING TO THROW A FIREBALL........fireball..ultra..CHUN LI WINS!"
plus i guess poking is fun, air throws are fun, and her jump hp > hp is really nice....same with my random ass cjab cjab chp cmp jump back fireball that i do for some reason. ill have to browse up on srk for some bnb combos.
-
is it sad that i can consistently win with ryu, almost only doing jump jrh followed by crh. mixing it up with a few throws, kicks, and 3 hit combos.
i don't even fucking know how to play as ryu, and im winning more with him than people ive played 20+ hours with.
the priority on dragon punch and jump in roundhouse is retarded.
STILL AINT NO MATCH FOR MY THUNDERTHIGHS HAIRBUNNED WOMAN OF JUSTICE!
-
I gotta play this again soon, haven't played it for a while. Any challengers?!!?
-
when im on im generally only playing sf2 or sf4. so yeah, hit me up IF we are ever online at the same time (i play random and late)
also, made it to g2. beat a guile who was clearly better than me(seems if im going for an airthrow, but they decide to airthrow, it has priority over mine), but at the same time, made a lot of mistakes against my chun.
-
FINALLY got around to putting some more time into SF4. So far I'm liking Zangeif a bit, but his super/ultra is harder then balls on a 360 controller. His one full circle throw seems to have some amazing priority and has a TON of damage.
Also El Fuerte seems jawesome. He has low health and takes more damage then I think he should, but he's so quick and he has a fuckwin Ultra. Not sure why I'm awlays atracted to the odd ball character (not sure if it's him, or Blanka) in fighters but they always have the funnest play styles.
-
blanka is a turtle faggot, don't pick him. he's like sf2 guile in terms of turtling (then again, so is the entire game)
i hate fuerte too. don't play me online or ill block you.
fuck, i hate most of the roster, why do i continue to play this game?
-
Hey heyheyheyheyhey! Easy on the Blanka bashing now! I don't turtle with him, and you know that. Only people who don't know how to use him turtle with him.
-
i hate fuerte too. don't play me online or ill block you.
fuck, i hate most of the roster, why do i continue to play this game?
What's the matter? Is it because I'm IN DE STRUCTIBLE.
Also you'd probably destroy me if we played, something about SF has always eluded me.
-
Also you'd probably destroy me if we played, something about SF has always eluded me.
id hope so, i have some 900 matches and 60+ hours of gameplay, i had better be AT MINIMUM a sub par player.

I dont really understand how this championship mode works.
I did one, and beat everyone easily, won, and got a bunch of numbers....What now?
*Edit* Just won a second one in a row.
I have 4230 CP and 194 GP. What are they for.
-
cp basically determines on how much gp you get
so if you are beating people with low cp, you aren't getting as much gp from them.

from what ive tested (losing another championship, but i gained KNOWLEDGE from the match)
as chun-li jumping jab at a guile who attempts to flash kick...HAS PRIORITY AND BEATS FLASH KICK. pretty damn sure it loses to ex flash kick, but still, that's pretty fucking awesome.
i randomly decided "fuck it, i hate this turtle faggot" and well...didn't eat a flash kick, he ate my jab, multiple times. though didn't help that it didn't do much to falter his defense and ultimately i lost, i think in the long run this will help me beat more guiles.
which is a problem, because guile isn't my problem, blanka is. blanka is THE character i can't beat. no kidding, i haven't won a single ROUND against blanka in weeks. and blanka is the only character i have this problem with. sure ken kicks my ass, but i put up a good fight, and i have a decent winrate against ken, but blanka...it's literally like "you see your opponent pick blanka. walk away from the tv i won't win, and i guarantee one of those rounds will be a perfect
BESIDES BLANKA, i feel ive gotten a bit better at the game, and i still like chun-li, so i guess she is my main main, rather than a character i call my main and change it shortly later. i don't have any real blaring issues with chun, i need to work in headstomp in my game more often, and predict when i should hsen cho (i forgot the spelling) more often, because it took me this long to figure out....it's good agianst fireballs. flip over them, hit opponent, it's low priority, but im sure that's it's main use, hit when they are recovering from the fireball throw animation.
plus chun li has DAT ASS, and that's always good.
71 hours played
948 matches
39% winrate (i ain't pro, but i don't suck i would figure)

I must ask, as of today, how are you enjoying/enjoyed SF4? From what I hear people have been getting tiered of it because it's such a defensive game, but I'd rather hear from some more credible sources.
-
more of a taste thing. i like it, but not as much as i do sf2. at the same time, i enjoy playing it for variety's sake, i mean ive sunk some 83some hours into the thing as is. it's a good street fighter game, but i don't think it will beat out your favorite. at the same time, it's a good game worth checking out that has it's own flavor.
i would say i "PREFER" it to something more offensive that's all ATTACK ATTACK ATTACK ATTACK ATTACK, but it's all down to opinion. my main gripe is that i don't like the ultra system, and everybody has too much stamina/attacks that aren't ultras don't do enough damage. make characters regular/specials do some more damage to speed things along and i will enjoy the game a bit more, i want faster matches, not slower ones. but in all honesty if you like street fighter, you SHOULD enjoy this one, but if you are paranoid, you can always try before you buy. i mean, you have to know someone with a 360/ps3 or something and just rent the fucker.
*edit*
i reckon you have access to playing it from the post in the other thread

Yeah, my friend let me play it and I was getting into it, so I decided I couldn't really go that wrong and I picked it up. It's just that I'm already violently frustrated (mostly because I'm being forced to use characters I don't like, that and unless they have an attack that can fuck with Seth's annoying AI I have a hard time beating him. Oh yeah, and his tactics are annoying, he can always grab you before you can even jab him and the other half the time he's just spamming that low punch with sonic booms trying to get you to jump into his anti air. Also I was just playing and he literally just teleported close to me and grabbed me 4 times and got me to under a quarter of my health and I tried EVERYTHING I could to counter it. Hell, the same could be said for Abel's grab, there's just no way you can move faster than him if he wants to get that grab off.) with this game.
I'm trying to unlock everyone but when you're playing as a character where you can't do the Ultra you're at a ridiculously bad disadvantage, that with the general cheapness of Seth can add up a lot. Suppose
I'll just have to practice.
Also the edges of the arrows on my gamepad were destroying my thumb, so I wittled them down with a pair of scissors. I think I might have made them worse, but it's hard to tell what with my thumb still hurting from last night.

get a fighting stick ex2 brah

Or a fightpad. That's all I've used and it's perfect. It also makes a great emulator controller.
