Street Ultra Fighter IV Announced - Super Aggrivated Emo

[Kalyx triaD]

Depending on which couch I'm on, as far away as about 35 feet.

35 feet, man?

[G]

LOL from across the parking lot!

[Funky Fly]

35 feet, man?

We got a lot of people over from time to time and we need room.

[Kalyx triaD]

That's pushing it. The players could be within a decent range of the console while the others watch from behind/sides. I've simply never seen players that far from a console, not even in public tournies.

[Funky Fly]

I usually walk closer, calm down.

[Kalyx triaD]

It's absurd, I won't stand for it. I won't rest until your gaming privileges are taken.

[Funky Fly]

They pretty much are right now. Busted 360 and Wii. :'(

Thanks for that sad reminder that I won't be getting to play SF4 for a while. :'(

[Kalyx triaD]

If you wouldn't control your games from across town they wouldn't be busted. :mad:

[Funky Fly]

I WILL FUCKING TIGER UPPERCUT YOUR FACE FUCKING OFF :mad::'(:mad:

[G]

Not without a working system you won't. :p

[Funky Fly]

Fuck you guys. :(

[Boomer]

Doing a double 360 on a pad just seems impossible to me without jumping. I couldn't see any Zangief player using one.

[Funky Fly]

They simplified his controls apparently.

[Kalyx triaD]

That command, and the Tiger Knee motion, is just stupid. I like what HD Remix did for those commands and I wish they would just use them in 4.

[Fignuts]

Funky, do you do line sprints, whilst holding your controller?





















in your pants?

[Funky Fly]

I do line sprints, whilst holding my controller... in your pants.

I am that good.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

It's out on the t'interwebs for those with the facility.

Not me, no new discs until 26th Feb :(

[Gerard]

Think i'll snag this for pc when it comes out along with one of those pads. 360's dpad is beyond pathetic for just about anything.

[HeartBreakMan2k]

Just picked up the arcade fight stick from my buddys store. Didn't have a reservation on it but since I used to be an area manager with Gamestop they saved one for me anyway. I love my old store managers. 25% off too :cool:

[Boomer]

I would have gotten a standard edition fight stick instead of the fight pad, but Best Buy isn't selling them. I mean the fight pad is alright, but the game is still made better for a stick.

-edit- I mean how can you sell the Fightpad and the High-end Tournament Edition stick but not the one in between? I just don't get it.

Because they are just large scale vendors, not fighting game aficionados.

[Boomer]

That doesn't make sense to me honestly. You sell two out of three new controller products you might as well sell the third. The Tournament Edition sticks sold out everywhere, why not give people a worthy alternative since stock is so low. I mean you only need enough stock for the release really. People will buy them. Large scale vendors sell ridiculous amounts of guitar and drum controllers and Best Buy sells the friggin' Ion Drum Kit (which I've personally rung up three times). I just don't see a good reason. The only thing that is a real telltale sign is that the TE sticks were online-only...but they are still selling them.

[Funky Fly]

They are a giant corporation. If they could, they'd just club you with a blackjack and take your money.

[Boomer]

They already do. Have you seen HDMI cord prices?

[G]

You can buy that joystick for cheap.

[Funky Fly]

People will pay for it because Monster has the THX stamp of approval, not that it means much.

BTW, I got monster cables on my TV, but I paid a whoping $10 because I have connections.

[Boomer]

If I got my hands on a TE I'd probably eBay it right now too. Demand is ridiculous.

[Funky Fly]

I just dropped a hundred on PSP games, $120 on a new 1TB hard drive and $130 on an NDS emulation set up. Thursday I drop $80 on SF4: CE and probably $35 on the new Fire Emblem for DS (EVEN THOUGH i JUST GOT THE CYCLO DS EVO, FUCK).

My wallet hurts. :'(

[Boomer]

If I was actually making more money right now I would consider padhacking and making my own stick with the TE's parts. Need a good soldering project to work on ATM.

[G]

$35 on the new Fire Emblem for DS (EVEN THOUGH i JUST GOT THE CYCLO DS EVO, FUCK).

My wallet hurts. :'(


I did that same shit. I went on an eBay spree and bought 8 DS games, only to buy a Cyclo before the games even arrived. And it's not like I could even return them. :(

[G]

$135 What did you buy?


-edit It's probably Canada shipping

[Funky Fly]

I got the same CycloDS set up as you, with an 8GB MicroSD card. That was $108. The rest is international shipping.

[Funky Fly]

Oh, and I already ordered the CycloDS. I'm buying the Fire Emblem shit because I love the series.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Less than a day now till it releases...can't wait, either. I'm glad the fans voted in Cammy in the online vote though...my all-time fav. in the series.

[Kalyx triaD]

Cammy White is awesome.

[Funky Fly]

Not dropping in Canada till Thursday. :mad:

[Kalyx triaD]

So who's playing this right now?

[Boomer]

I've played it plenty. Online is wonderful. I, however, am not. I'm probably going to take one of my fightpads back though. I kinda need the money, and none of my friends have wanted to play much if at all.

[Drakul]

It's not out here until Friday. I'm hoping I'll get it in the post a day early because I preordered it online.

[Boomer]

Actually I've decided that I'm probably taking both fightpads back.

Lots of complaints on the net about the diagonals, and I have to say they are pretty accurate. I didn't really notice it until I went back to a regular 360 pad today, but I have no trouble whatsoever with Guile's Ultra on a 360 pad, where I have huge amounts of trouble on the Madcatz pad. The only real advantage to the Madcatz seems to be the size of the pad and the layout of the buttons. But honestly, I can live with both...hopefully until the PC version comes out.

[Khuntry]

This game rocks its everything i'd hoped it would be, (smooth) It was weird adjusting to it at first (and i'm no scrub i assure you) maybe because i simply wasn't expecting it to be this way. Feels great on the fight pad (unfortunately its a Ken pad but what the hell) real natural. Anyone else wanna share their first impressions ..?

WickedBison said he's getting it later this month so I won't be able to dive into it. I cannot wait. KoF11 is also pretty awesome getting into it. About as complex as 3rd Strike (Fierce Kick Special Cancel to Burning Uppercut Super Cancel to Super Burning Uppercut let three hits go then Dream Cancel to Leader Super Move). It's pretty wild and not for casuals, we should have been on KoFXI a long time ago, I almost feel bad for skipping it for two years.

[HeartBreakMan2k]

I'm loving the game but I am also quickly coming to the realization that all of my VF and DOA have become detrimental to my SF skills. AKA, I now suck.

[Kalyx triaD]

DOA's detrimental in many ways.

[HeartBreakMan2k]

Fair enough. lol.

Damn all that... interesting.

[Kalyx triaD]

It's also generally CvS2's N-Groove (with K-Groove's ukemi roll save) so it's pretty tactical. But we'll get on that another time.

We're gonna have us a Street Fighter marathon. A brief tour of the series (settle some Hyper Alpha and 3rd Strike scores) then we dive into SF4.

Those that have played it, would you say the review is accurate in it's comments and scoring?

SFIV is released here on Friday but I preordered it online from GAME. Does anyone think there is a chance it might arrive at my door a day early?

[Impact!]

I hate Seth...that is all...

[RottingFreak]

Beating Seth is so satisfyingly satisfying sfter all the times he beat me. It's def a great game as I expected.

[HeartBreakMan2k]

Fuck Seth.

[Khuntry]

Seth is cheap but beatable, he doesn't have the 'ol SNK syndrome i thought he would have

[Kalyx triaD]

Everybody's playing but me.

[Fignuts]

Dunno if I'm gonna get this or killzone 2. Still havn't really touched VF 5 or Guilty Gear yet.

[Indifferent Clox]

the name seth is so random I've beat the game with Sagat, El Feurte, Ryu, and Someone else I can't remember right now. It's a pretty amazing game, I've unlocked two achievments and can't wait to go home and play again.

But I'm also playing GTA4: LATD which is the best expansion pack ever.

[Kalyx triaD]

Seth was named after a popular SF player.

[Drakul]

I got my Limited Edition a day early. Been messing about on it. The GAME website listed a CD soundtrack among the extra stuff but it wasn't in the box. I called up a local GAME Store and they gave me a number for customer services. I called and stayed on hold for about 25 minutes before being spoken to. After a long chat, the guy on the other end of the phone went to ask the "buying department" or something about it and when he came back he said no one knew what was going on with it. They asked for my number and said they would call me back. They ended up calling Capcoms offices to ask about it. When I got called back, I was told Capcom originally intended to put in the CD soundtrack but later decided not to and never informed the stores online section. I don't know why they decided against it. In the end, I got a five pound voucher for my next online purchase as compensation and they edited the games page on the stores site and told me they would have to email ever single person that ordered the LE from them to tell them why they don't/wont have the CD. The last 5 minutes of the phone call was the guy apologizing, even though it wasn't his or the stores faults as far as I'm aware.

Seth was named after a popular SF player.

I was wondering where the name came from. I thought it was just a random, short, slightly mysterious name. Then I finished arcade mode and saw the name in the credits and figured that's where it came from.

The game is very awesome. Can't wait to unlock myself some new characters. I think we may see new characters as DLC. A few smaller characters appear in the background of certain characters opening anime scenes, so I can imagine we may see them as DLC eventually.

Online is smooth but trying to actually get a fight started took me a while. It kept saying I couldn't join for some reason. I'm guessing it was request only. I got stuck with a guy that spammed the Hadouken to hell. I managed to smack him about as Zangief for a while though and on the topic of Zangief, I find his opening weirdly comical for some reason and I love the new scoop slam he has.

My only "disappointment" is El Fuerte (I know the spelling is wrong but you know who I mean). I thought we would get a cool Lucha Libre character but instead we have some crazy luchadore with an obsession with chefs and frying pans. I'm all for a crazy character but I wasn't expecting it from El Fuerte and I don't think it works at all.

Right now, I'm going to go watch the anime movie that came in the LE. Hoping it'll be cool and interesting. Sorry the post is so long. I just had a lot to say for once.

[Kalyx triaD]

'Gief could PUNISH a Ryu player.

[Drakul]

'Gief could PUNISH a Ryu player.

I thrashed him as Zangief. If I can just pull off the moves that require me to move the control stick in a complete circle, I could be equal or perhaps better than I am with Ken. I keep jumping when I try to pull those moves off.

I don't know what it is but a lot of my timing and stuff goes out the window when I play online. Even more so when I know the opponent. I have no idea why because I'm fine in Local Multiplayer.

[HeartBreakMan2k]

For the record, the process to unlock Akuma and Gouken is fucking retarded. That is all.

[Boomer]

Taking my fightpads back because of money concerns will probably cripple my playing time. I always have that lingering feeling that I'm missing out because I don't have a stick.

I know...I know. That's what she said.

[UmbrellaCorporation]

For the record, the process to unlock Akuma and Gouken is fucking retarded. That is all.

What is the process? I heard it was pretty bad.


So I've finished the story with Guile, Blanka, and Ken so far. Loving this. :love:

[RoXer]

If you put it on easiest/1 round, getting Akuma/Gouken is real simple. The only challenging part is Seth. Fucking prick. And I like how my moves don't register against him sometimes. A simple fireball even. And I KNOW it's not my thumbs.

Anyway, I'm about 10 characters away from unlocking him.

Haven't tried online yet. Wanna unlock Seth first.

[RoXer]

Also, so far there isn't any stage music that "jumps out" at me. Nothing too memorable yet.

The main menu music would be badass if it weren't for the terrible terrible singing.

[Boomer]

This is so dumb, but particularly hilarious to me. How to unlock everyone according to MyCheats:

[Funky Fly]

HARD KICK

[UmbrellaCorporation]

lol, just finished this with Dan.

Still a shit tier character but ridiculously fun to use.

Only a few characters left to beat it with. Not looking forward to doing it with Fei Long. Always sucked as him.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Fei Long generally sucked. How they could put him in instead of Dee Jay or even several Alpha characters (GUY FFS), is a travesty.

Dans great, the amount of times we had Dan-Odd Tournaments on CvS2 was inasane :D

[RoXer]

GTFO Fei Long is great and I will destroy you with him any day of the week.

[Fignuts]

Roxer is pretty nasty with fei long.

Also, I got this, along with like, 10 original xbox games that were 3 bucks each at blockbuster. Fucking mint.

[Boomer]

I'm far from great, but I've played tons of pretty terrible people.

[ClockShot]

Finally picked this up today, but I gotta go on a quest to find a fight pad.

[Fignuts]

Wow, just had a series of matches with this guy who was about the same level as me. Mad fun. Traded wins, and in the final fight it was Me as Crimson Viper vs E.Honda. Traded wins the first two rounds, and the fights were very close. Final round is looking the same. We each have only a quarter of life left, and he makes the mistake of charging his Focus Attack too close to me. Ultra Combo Finish. Crimson Viper wins. Seriously marked out like a little girl at that one.

On a related note, Crimson Viper is awesome.

[Khuntry]

'Gief could PUNISH a Ryu player.

I beg to differ, Geif can Probably punish an inexperienced Ryu player.
take a look at Daigo Umehara he's the top SF4 player in japan. He mains Ryu btw

[D Mac]

This game is mad frustrating. Threw my controller about 3 times.

[RoXer]

It's so intense when you are properly matched with someone with similar skill.

When you're overmatched, no fun at all.

I guess Fignuts wasn't having any fun playing with me.

:heart:

[Fignuts]

lol it did kinda suck, but I left cause company came in.

I do suyck balls at this game tho. Only fighting game i've ever been halfway decent at was tekken.

[G]

Tekken Tag online :(

[Fignuts]

I've got Tekken 5: DRO, but I havn't played online yet. Been slowly relearning things, since it's been 3 years since I played the original T5.

I imagine I'll practice hard at this game, and get fairly good. And then Tekn 6 will come out, and I will play that a lot, and forget everything about SF IV. I can never just pick it up again and remember everything. Or even half of what I knew. Would be a tournament player in tekken, if I did.

[Indifferent Clox]

I only have like 3 charecters left to beat this with. I beat Seth with Fei long Perfect first try

[#BROKEN Hasney]

fuckin hell. Still can't unlock Gouken. Every match one perfect round and one ultra combo round and nothing. Already got Akuma and completled the game with him too .....

[D Mac]

Yeah, took it back after 1 day. If I kept it, all my remotes would become broken by throwing them. :mad:

[RoXer]

fuckin hell. Still can't unlock Gouken. Every match one perfect round and one ultra combo round and nothing. Already got Akuma and completled the game with him too .....

It has to be exactly 3 ultras, 2 perfects, 0 continues and nothing more.

[Khuntry]

fuckin hell. Still can't unlock Gouken. Every match one perfect round and one ultra combo round and nothing. Already got Akuma and completled the game with him too .....

You need to beat Arcade made with 2 perfects and 3 ultra finishes and you can't use a continue. Capcom was being real funny about this one.

[RoXer]

lol it did kinda suck, but I left cause company came in.
Yeah I had to leave anyway

[Khuntry]

The mere fact that i have to go through this ridiculous hard challenge mode just to unlock colors is fucking retarded. Good one Capcom.

[Drakul]

I'm enjoying the game. Dan is pretty funny in this. His win quotes and ending gave me a bit of chuckle. Though, fighting Seth as Dan was frustrating. Not because I got beat a lot but because, after I win one round, Seth starts repeatedly piledriving, shoryukening and warping no matter what I do. I won, eventually, so it's fine. I'm not looking forward to fighting him with someone I'm unfamiliar with. It'll be a massacre.

Online is great when you are matched with someone of equal skill. It's fun to fight, satisfying to win and it feels fair when I get beat. When someone beats me, they keep me around but as soon as I win a fight, I get kicked. I made my own lobby, got a challanger, beat him and he left.
I don't get it. I'm not being cheap, I'm not constantly spamming a move or throw, I mix it up. Surely, everyone I beat can't be that bad a loser.
I know it's not connection issues because it only happens when I win. There was one exception where me and some guy had a few fights, He won some, I won some but generally, I get kicked after winning.

I bet Capcom will eventually release a DLC that unlocks everything for us. I've seen other games do it. There is a list on Wikipedia that gives dates of costume DLC, if anyones interested. Is it likely we'll get new characters or stages as DLC?

Edit: I had a player vs CPU versus fight on the hardest setting, for the first time. I played as Ken (who else?) fighting Ryu on the volcanic rim. It was a lot more fun than easier settings. I won round one, CPU won round two. In the final round it gets extremely close. I get smacked with a hurricane kick (I forget the real name of it) and my health is down to the point you can't even see it anymore but the CPU is just as low. One more strike and someone wins. We start hopping about, dodging each others attacks until the CPU goes for Ryus Ultra Combo. I leap over it and win with a flying kick square to the face. It was pretty cool.

[Khuntry]

There's some word going around of a SF4 Dash (or champion edition) DLC that might include T.Hawk and Dee jay as playable characters. Ono stated that the two characters were half way completed but wound not be included unless there is enough demand for them from the fans. I say why the hell not.

The more the merrier. Though I dislike T.Hawk. I'm sure I saw an image of him before the game was released though. T.Hawk fighting Cammy on the snowy train station stage. I may have imagined it but I'm so sure I saw it, somewhere.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

It has to be exactly 3 ultras, 2 perfects, 0 continues and nothing more.

It doesn't. Just did it this morning without even trying and I did more of both. I read that you cannot lose a round, never mind not just continue.

[Kalyx triaD]

My bro got it. Expect me on later today. This game is awesome, and so's Dan. Sakura is deadly now, and Abel is great. Seth can suck my balls.

Ken + No Knee Bashes = GAY

[Fignuts]

Yeah,I foresee myself getting pretty nasty with Abel in the future.

[Boomer]

I'm pretty happy I took my pads back. None of my roommates want to play. Its pissing me off. Way more fun to humans obviously, but I'm not one to challenge people online for hours and hours.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

People online with Abel are just throw spamming spazz's.

I'm really hoping that this Championship Edition DLC deals with some balance issues.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

[Fignuts]

People online with Abel are just throw spamming spazz's.

I'm really hoping that this Championship Edition DLC deals with some balance issues.

A good player will counter that easily tho. Throws sould not be the main focus of able. the main attacks should be the change of direction combos, and the Marsielles roll for zoning. The only throw they should be spammig is the Falling Sky as a combo finisher.

I've played a few throw-spamming abels, and kicked their ass. And I'm not even very good.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

I'm seemingly alright, I just can't seem to counter that.

[Kalyx triaD]

Also, I take back my hate for the 360 stock pad. Crazy as it sounds, I'm used to it enough to deal some decent attacks.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

They've just really eased up the precision needed to pull off certain specials. Hell, I can do a super Spinning Piledriver on the stick and I used to struggle on an actual arcade.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Oh and Sakuras always been deadly. Low hitting super my ass...

[Boomer]

Then just do it for minutes and minutes

I do, obviously. But I'd much rather play people I know. Makes things more competitive.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Cammy White is awesome.

I don't give a fuck what color costumes Cammy has. Once I unlock her, I am going to have a field day pitting her against other females in the game (Chun-Li, Crimson Viper and Rose are the only ones I can think of...):drool: The only way Cammy could be any hotter is if someone out there drew a ;):naughty: pic of her...

[Khuntry]

Oh and Sakuras always been deadly. Low hitting super my ass...

Just block low.. She's got pretty good combos but they don't deal that much damage especially her ultra ( Cammy too) She doesn't seem too deadly to me..

[Khuntry]

Also, I take back my hate for the 360 stock pad. Crazy as it sounds, I'm used to it enough to deal some decent attacks.

Still doesn't compare to the SF pad (D-pad wise)

Oh no, I know what to do now, just facing her the first time on Alpha 2 and getting smashed with it when preparing to block high as normal.

Her full name is Cammy White. Although, I prefer her in her green colors - since you bring it up.

Still doesn't compare to the SF pad (D-pad wise)

I bet the SF pad is awesome, but I have to adapt.

This is probably the most balanced a fighting game's been on its first version. I personally don't find any one overpowered. Then again, I haven't played with Gouken yet, and I can pretty much right off Seth as banned outright. He can sit by Algol in the 'piece of shit' table.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Seth isn't that cheap in a players hands.

Both Gouken and Akuma have really low health to make up for their general awesomeness and it works.

[Kalyx triaD]

Seth isn't that cheap in a players hands.

Both Gouken and Akuma have really low health to make up for their general awesomeness and it works.

Is Seth's move properties altered when he becomes playable? Otherwise he'll remain banned. We can't have a high-priority jackass like him in anybody's hands - even if the player sucks with him.

[Fignuts]

Seth is barely in the top 10, tier-wise. It's when he's CPU controlled that he's cheap. Step the difficulty up to it's highest, and I'll bet everyone seems bannable.

[Kalyx triaD]

Seth does not know what to do outside of sweep range. Crouch there and wait for him to spam that 'magic roundhouse', it could be punished with a sweep. This works on Medium and probably Hard. His throw beats everything, and he's just annoying from far away. Stay at the sweep range and he regresses into a slobbering AI fool. That is all.

[Fignuts]

The only person I had trouble beating seth with was Dan. Everyone else was firstor second try. I've found that playing a more aggresiv style with the shoto characters warrents great results(almost got a perfect with sakura) and playina more defensive, poking game works better with almost everyone else.

[Kalyx triaD]

Seth is barely in the top 10, tier-wise. It's when he's CPU controlled that he's cheap. Step the difficulty up to it's highest, and I'll bet everyone seems bannable.

We ban characters based on their priorities and what can be done with them in the right hands. Many boss characters are made with gimmicks meant to be fought against as a meta-game for the single player. They are usually not made to be balanced or even make sense - they're boss characters. It's at their battle that the game goes from fighting-game to something far more classic in its sense of game progression (see Goro, Rugal, Khan, Abyss...).

In classic cases that boss character returns in a sequel fully playable and balanced for the public. Nowadays bosses are created with playability in mind from the start, but they still don't fit the core characters meant to be options in the actual fighting game. Seth is the latest in this trend.

He's playable, but his priorities break the game. We're only keeping the play space clear and competitive. If needed, we may have to cuff Gouken as well, but some play time is needed.

[Khuntry]

Is Seth's move properties altered when he becomes playable? Otherwise he'll remain banned. We can't have a high-priority jackass like him in anybody's hands - even if the player sucks with him.

That's pretty much the case, he's not the same in versus but can still be a jackass

[Khuntry]

I don't think there would be any need to cuff Gouken since there's plenty of holes in his overall game. He seems pretty mild.

[Fignuts]

played roxer again, after a day of training with Abel and C.Viper. Still lost, but did a lot better, keeping it close til the end of the match. I may end up maining one of those two, as I'm kind of bored with the shoto characters outside of Gouken, and I suck with Charge move characters.

One of my biggest problems right now is nailing ultra combos with te 360 controller. Would have possibly won a match with Crimson Viper, but she did the EX Seismic blast instead. I can hit it in training, and against a low level CPU all day, but in the heat of competition with a human player, I almost alwsays hit the EX forward, down-forward move instead. Not only do I not hit the ultra, but I waste a super gauge box. Suckage.

Is it any smoother with the arcade stick?

[RoXer]

They need to fix the lobby so we can have more than 1 person in it

[Fignuts]

What if we form a party? Will that do anything? I dunno how the party syste works so dunno.

[Fignuts]

If I can say one thing bad about the game, it's that the animated cutscenes are godawful. There is very little closure in any of the endings.

And Gouken has just been lying unconcious somewhere for the past 10 years? lol what?


Abel's backstory turned out to be a fairly neat twist. I will say that.

[.44 Magdalene]

God dammit I'm so tired of seeing Ken on XBox Live.

[Fignuts]

Should play with tpww people. We use everyone.

[.44 Magdalene]

I don't want people on TPWW to know how much I suck at this game

[Fignuts]

Just treat online like practice for when you play locally. That's what I do. I basically treat my matches with roxer as evaluation on what strategies I've developed work, and which ones don't.

[Funky Fly]

You get good playing real people, not AI. Real people throw you curve balls way more often than AI and it forces you to get better.

[.44 Magdalene]

If you're talking to me, I was just bitching about people on XBox Live. :wtf:

But on the subject of AI, I would like to also state that I'm a little disappointed when Street Fighter has a final boss shades of SNK or--dare I say it--Mortal Kombat. By that, I mean I just got teleportspam/multihityuken/sonicboombsonicboombsonicboomed for about the thirtieth time, and finally decided to just turn the fucking system off and walk the fuck away. Good job making a generic piece of shit spam ass stupid shit piss dick balls fucking boss that makes me stop playing the goddamn game, Capcom, totally disregarding how hard it is to get through Arcade on anything but Easy with Vega. All that work didn't mean shit, I'm not fighting Seth a thirty first fucking time.

God fucking damn.

Not only do I not hit the ultra, but I waste a super gauge box. Suckage.

Is it any smoother with the arcade stick?

Try my configuration:

Face Buttons:
(X) - Weak Punch
(Y) - Fierce Punch
(A) - Weak Kick
(B) - Roundhouse
Top Buttons:
[LB] - Mid Punch
[RB] - Mid Kick
Triggers:
{LT} - Focus Attack
{RT} - PPP

Now Khuntri may remember that my face buttons are SNK/Vs. fashioned and my Mids stay up top, but SF4 forced me to alter my triggers from the usual PPP/KKK set-up. With the importance of Ultras (life savers in many cases), I had to make a decision to make them more viable during gameplay. My PPP was on the left trigger (during the PS2 days), but I put it on the right trigger for 'instant-kill' access. This means I do my KKK ultras manually with all three kick buttons. RoXer can attest that this isn't a problem for me.

The big draw with my set-up is the left trigger being used for Focus Attacks. For a time I used the top buttons for Focus Attacks, but they're too important to rely on pressing the two top buttons together (not to mention Focus Cancels and such). Being that I no longer need a KKK button/trigger and I rather not conprimise my old face button set-up (I tried, much too used to it), I put Focus Attacks on left trigger.

The first time I fought RoXer he blew me out. We went at it a little while later with me on the above config and my game changed dramatically. Much more give and take now.

Just treat online like practice for when you play locally. That's what I do. I basically treat my matches with roxer as evaluation on what strategies I've developed work, and which ones don't.

Yeah, offline is the way to go. Still, RoXer is good games. And I love that SF4's yellow bars might as well be green bars - very smooth. It lags but so often I wanna kill myself. I imagine a green bar is HD Remix perfect.

I perfectd Seth with Fei Long.

HOLLLAAAAAAAA

Good for you. Did it with Sakura m'self. I'm playing her more than I care to admit, but I won't be adding her to my stable (Cammy would get jealous). RoXer pulled out some Gouken action, he's definitely not over-powered (unless RoXy is holding back).

[Kalyx triaD]

holla

Because holla is in right now, you know

I always liked "You should try blocking".

[Boomer]

Yeah finally got friends to play last night and we didn't stop for like an hour or two. Way fun, and it pretty much confirmed the fact that I suck really really bad. I'm still trying to figure out my button configuration on the 360 controller. I am prone to never use the left bumper because of it being on the D-Pad's side. My brain can't give that many commands to my left hand it seems.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Her full name is Cammy White. Although, I prefer her in her green colors - since you bring it up.

Oh, OK, I thought you meant in the white camo/suit outfit, but I understand you now. Just please tell me you knew this without having to watch one of those god-awful beginning/end-of-Challenge Mode cutscenes. They are unbearable, and I always just skip past them.

[jcmoorehead]

So anyone got any advice for a beginner player to this. Never been too good at fighting games and I do enjoy the gameplay of this... except I suck. I can pull off a few moves as Ryu/Ken but can only really scrape past the computer and when I come up against opponants like M Bison tend to fail repeatedly.

[HeartBreakMan2k]

Practice mode is your friend honestly. Street Fighter is 20 years in the making so the people who are good have played with the base mechanics of the game for that long. Learn ranges, the supers/ultras/focus attacks. Figure out if anyone has any standard moves that combo well and fight what type of character you like. Sounds like you like Shoto's, Sakura and Ken are captain combo so give them both a try.

[jcmoorehead]

Yeah, my only real experience is Street Fighter 2 briefly on the Mega Drive and Alpha 2 on the PSOne and I was too young to really get past the whole button mashing thing.

I've only started playing it today so I guess it is understandable that I suck at it. I'll just have to keep trying it is justa bit jarring when even on the easiest computer difficulty I get my ass handed to me.

[HeartBreakMan2k]

That's SF though. You have to learn to juggle and combo moves up. You also have to learn if you like grapplers or shotos or whatever. Plus like I said, the guys who (especially) are good with Ryu and Ken, have been good with Ryu and Ken for 20 years. It takes a lot of time to learn the frame ates of a lot of moves too.

[HeartBreakMan2k]

Hell even things like priorities between characters are a bitch when you first start.

[HeartBreakMan2k]

Also, and I stress this the most. If you can't hit a move every time you try it, you don't have it down and it's going to get you killed. I have friends who say they have the ultras, etc down. They can hit it 4/5 times, or whatever. That turns into 2/5 times when you're actually playing someone who is going to press you, and they will punish you when you miss. Don't try something unless you can do it everytime.

[jcmoorehead]

Aye I think I'll take that on board.

I was at least able to make it through the Arcade Mode on easiest and unlock Sakura so there is some progress. Seth was quite cheap until on the final battle I managed to just keep him in a corner and spam Heavy Kicks. I do like the Ken/Ryu/Sakura type characters but I'll have to experiment with the others on there.

I also tried hopping online and got my ass handed to me three times. Starting to get used to blocking a bit more though and also when to jump to avoid an attack. The one problem I have is timing my own attacks which'll come with practice. What I'll probably do is stick it in training mode and just keep practicing blocking/dodging.

[Kalyx triaD]

Do you think I wouldn't know Cammy's full name before hand? Seriously?

Same here, just lost like 9 in a row. Fair enough it's my first time online but I just can't even land an attack.

[Fignuts]

I'd be like, 0-30 if I didn't get lucky and find some chumps to beat on.

[Gerard]

I really cant see this being that much fun online, its a game that DEMANDS fast reactions and quick button presses, most games are more forgiving of this but for something like SF i can't see it working that well. =/

Still waiting on the pc version, whores.

I got a perfect against Seth with Chun-Li of all people. Nothing against Chun-Li, I'm just a very average or less Chun-Li player. The sweeping technique really works.

Unlocked Gen after the perfect against Seth. I had a quick spin as him in a fight against a CPU opponent and he seems pretty good. I'll have to use him in training first before I get good enough with him to play against others.
Is his name pronounced as "Jen" or is the G prononced the same way it is prononced in the word "Gun" but with an e instead of a u?

[Funky Fly]

It's a Japanese game, so it's probably like "gun"

[Indifferent Clox]

I Just unlocked Akuma :) ultra combo finishes are amazing!

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.

[Funky Fly]

I heard everyone was playing Ken.

[Kalyx triaD]

Not successfully. Balrog is annoying as he is effective.

[Funky Fly]

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

[Fignuts]

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.

[Funky Fly]

*JIZZED... IN YOUR PANTS

[Fignuts]

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.

[Fignuts]

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?

[Kalyx triaD]

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.

[Fignuts]

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.

[Funky Fly]

Sakura + gi = Makoto? :?:

Purely in terms of appearance tho.

[Kalyx triaD]

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.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

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.

[jcmoorehead]

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

[Fignuts]

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.

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.

[HeartBreakMan2k]

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

[Funky Fly]

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

[Fignuts]

I was unlocking Akuma and Gouken, which pretty much means I'm done with the roster (fuck Seth).


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.

[Boomer]

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.

[Fignuts]

Want an arcade stick so bad.

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.

[Funky Fly]

8 to 2? Fucked up.

[G]

That disappointments me.

[Funky Fly]

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

[Fignuts]

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.

[.44 Magdalene]

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.

[Fignuts]

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.

[.44 Magdalene]

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.

[.44 Magdalene]

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

[Fignuts]

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.

[Fignuts]

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

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.

[.44 Magdalene]

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.

[Fignuts]

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.

[Funky Fly]

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

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.

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

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.

[Kalyx triaD]

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.

[Boomer]

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.

[Khuntry]

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

[Khuntry]

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.

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.

[Kalyx triaD]

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

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.

[Funky Fly]

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

I want more!

[Funky Fly]

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

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

[Funky Fly]

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.

[Kalyx triaD]

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.

[Funky Fly]

Torrents are your friend.

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.

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.

[Drakul]

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.

[Fignuts]

Well his profile does say he enjoys wrestling bears.

Don't judge me.

[Funky Fly]

lol

[Khuntry]

nice

[Drakul]

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.

[Fignuts]

30g is pretty good tho.

[Drakul]

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

[Kalyx triaD]

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.

[Drakul]

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.

[Kalyx triaD]

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

[RoXer]

I'm honestly like on a 15 ranked losing streak

[Kalyx triaD]

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

[Funky Fly]

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

[Kalyx triaD]

Only if* I preferred it.

[Kalyx triaD]

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.

[Funky Fly]

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

[RoXer]

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

I know! :mad:

[Fignuts]

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

[Kalyx triaD]

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.

[Fignuts]

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

[Kalyx triaD]

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.

[RoXer]

I cannot buy a fucking win I swear to god.

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