if he has it, then you can see it, its already built in the game, the purchase just unlocks it (which is a little cheeky)
the packs are like 150kb each, so just something like instructions to tell the console to unlock them
btw i hate the akuma / ghoken costumes, they look despicable, rope arranged in wings???
I know that part.
I have the shoryuken pack. My opponent played as Ryu (one of the pack). He showed up with alt costume. Does that mean HE had the pack as well as me having it?

Yep, he also had it.
Yep, very cheeky move to sell them like that especially in separate packs, but I suppose they will make money any way they can!
You managed to play your tournament game yet? Looks like I will be playing the winner of your game, and I've still not managed to have any practice games against your Abel
Nope, still not fought beenom yet. I added him on saturday morning but have sadly been very busy with family stuff today, i did get to pop on and get a few fights in this afternoon, at which point i noticed beenom had accepted my request but was off-line at the time.
I reckon we should save our début match (if it even occurs, don't have a clue how good beenom is) for the tourney, will be far more exciting that way

Sometimes i wish the big gief just wasn't included in the game at all, the only way to beat him is to hang back and wait for a poorly placed lariat to punish. Always results in the most boring fights and if you make a single mistake you're guaranteed to lose 1/4 of your health from a throw. Just wish there was a way to 'repel' the throw like you can normal ones. At least with blanka i'm beginning to learn that his moves are punishable, you just have to learn how, but with gief there is only one tactic, hang back and get bored.
If you are talking about me, yes I have the shoryuken pack and was playing as ryu in the 'roughed up' look
To be honest, if they didnt stick them on the disk it would have meant you downloading a patch to see them (as is the case with LBP, every time they think up new costumes they are added to the patch so that people without that costume pack can see you) so putting them on the disk has actually saved you time and bandwith.

Just took a beating from Streeteh (13 or 14 - 0 I think!!), but still improving with Abel. I've got the day to myself and nothing better to do so if anyone fancies a few sparring matches give me a shout
P.S. Street, don't be shy with those Abel tips now will you?? Feel free to post up

The point is it's charging you for content they had already created.
Yep. It was my first match after buying the pack so I was confused when we both had alternate costumes!!If you are talking about me, yes I have the shoryuken pack and was playing as ryu in the 'roughed up' look

I am by no means an expert but i will tell you the little tricks i've learnt.
Firstly, when executing a super it's useful to know what it's capable of. If you use a different punch button a different type of immunity is given to abel when he tries to grab the opponent.
Heavy punch - fireball immunity, pretty useless tbh unless its a player that heavily relies on a jump in, low medium fireball combo, just use super when they've finished their kick and you'll go right through the fireball and get em
Medium punch - throw immunity, very useful in certain situations. Say for example someone is stood right next to you when you're on the ground, this means they want to be up close for something, with many players this usually means a throw as soon as you getup. Execute the super as you rise, if they're trying to throw you its a free super, if not there's a good chance they'll be doing something of a lower priority than Abels high priority super and are close enough to grab. This can backfire but it works more than it doesn't and is worth the risk. One thing is to watch out for is baiters, they'll crouch next to you when you get up and hope you use a move to give them an opening, obviously you'll know whether they're this sort of player before your super gauge is charged. If they are one of these players, when in doubt, tornado throw it out.
Light punch - hit immunity, yet again if someone has a repetitive pattern, use this to exploit it. Good example would be jumping kick, medium low kick fireball/dragon punch comboers. Simply execute it as they land as they'll input a medium kick which you'll be immune to and get your super to contact.
Ultra - goes through fireballs and blankas electricity. Sagat is very vulnerable to this as his fireball involves him stretching out his rather long arms which if you connect with will count as an ultra. If you've got a blanka electricity spammer, bait him to use it and then ultra him.
Good ultra opportunities:
Crouching heavy punch, this will launch the enemy and you'll get a free ultra. Good opportunities to use this are after a roll, after a jumping kick and after a medium kick step forward. There is also a very good cancelling combo that you can chain it into however i personally find cancelling incredibly difficult to chain after the actual cancel. I see many of the best players using this combo as a punisher and if you master it you're better than me. IIRC it's hard trial 4 for abel.
When ryu uses his ultra/super. It even goes through these fireballs so it's basically a free ultra for you if they use it outside of a combo.
Blanka balls. When i discovered this it was the daddy of tools to use against blanka. If he uses a blanka ball on you (the one where he spins towards you) block it, then as he bounces back use an ultra. The timing on this is very loose and its not often you'll **** it up. If you get em with this they typically don't use blanka balls many more from then on.
Other useful moves:
EX wheel kick - this goes THROUGH fireballs, very useful against fireball spammers
EX Change of direction - this has immunity to one hit, so very good against something like a blanka using electricity when you don't have ultra, as it'll ignore the damage you should take and hit him. Basically any situation where you are about to get hit but know it's not a fast combo use this and it'll break into them for an easy combo
EX Tornado throw - hit + grab immunity. Someone trying to hurt you as you get up? Use an ex tornado throw, they'll regret trying. Especially useful against those blanka players that try to electrocute you as you stand up.

Same as my forum name. I will be on from about 8 I think, so send me a game invite if you are online. I need to practice and learn my combos so I don't keep getting whooped in these OcUK tournaments

K - should be on later - will send invite.
Mind you - just got one of those madcatz pads and my game has gone to ****. It is easier than the normal pad - however I have the keys mapped differently now on the fight pad and in moments of instinct I am hitting the wrong buttons. will have to re-align my instincts.
Will be an intersting night of gaming.
