Street Fighter (SFIV, SSFIV, HDR)

Could someone explain basic terminology to me, whiffing and cancelling in particular. I tried reading the shoryuken forums but very little made sense. Also, is there such a thing as a standard throw? I can do the special throws as they're listed in the moves list but when i'm pinned down i often get grabbed by throws i've not seen before.
 
whiffing means missing

cancelling could be a variety of things..

special moves can be canceled with focus attacks (as well as some normal attacks)
focus attacks can be canceled by dashing
 
One example of cancelling (do correct me if I'm wrong) is doing Ryu's MK when crouched then immediately doing a Hadouken. (again correct me if I'm wrong!)

At least I think that's an example, I'm not too sure about it all myself yet. :D
 
Nothing better than Ulra-ing someone's ultra. :p

Have done it twice in the last 10 mins in ranked games with the Zan Man. :)

And got lucky with one game, it was a 1 round match and I was almost KO'd. Strung together a Super and then an Ultra to win. :)

To me those are 2 in 1s where the animation cuts off from the normal into the special move - quite a few can be done using a crouched MK/P - also in this version you can do it into a focus attack too. Whereas a cancel normal involves cancelling a special/focus move into a normal hit (like the opposite effectively)

Good for the trophy whores i guess, there's a gold trophy in it if it works on the highest difficulty. I'd feel like i was cheating, but we'll see if my opinion changes in a few months when seth still whoops me on normal.

Haha, I would like to ask that player:

Was it REALLY necessary to skim through 10 or so players, before picking Zangief when he had already planned to pick him anyways?

It's like those players whose cursor is already on the player they want by default, then spend a good 10-20 secs wasting time (when you just want to start the game and mash their faces in), before coming back to that exact player. Could have just pressed A!!!
 
Has anybody managed to pick up the standard madcatz stick cheaper than £69.99? I'm thinking of investing, my thumb is already blistered from the x360 d-pad! Really enjoying this game though.

Unless you're planning on upgrading to sanwa components the Hori stick is a much better deal for a slightly better product.
