I'm just thinking about changing my button config around slightly, but I'm so used to playing with the 3 Kick/Punch buttons as L1 and L2 :x
I really like having Hard Kick and Punch on R1 and R2 so my only other option would be to swap out low/med kick and punch.
What do you guys reckon? I hate not being able to pull off moves on demand with the default pad setup.

Whoa! Finally! i think i reached a zenth with Chun-Li, i won most of my matches tonight without much problem, where as up til yesterday i was maybe winning less then 10% of my matches. I feel much faster as well with her nowadays.
Had a couple of interesting games last night with ojste, gg mate. Not sure if you noticed any changes in style but you were playing against me, my brother, and cousin, we were taking it in turns to take a beating 
You beat my brother everytime, hes quite new to the game, don't think he even won a round against you. I managed to beat you once with Sagat and I took the odd round here and there with Ken but overall it was just one way. My cousin beat you once with Ken but I'm glad you showed them a different style of play, they had no idea how to play against you, mind you I still haven't figured it out. The little jabs here and there and little combo's rather then dragon punch after dragon punch gave them something to think about. It's not been that long since we last played but either I've got worse or you've improved

haha ggs mate
my advice to the kens in particular is to ease off the fierce dragon punch. it has excellent priority but as with anything that leaves you wide open, you need to decide whether its worth the gamble since theres no gaurentee that it will hit and you're gonna get it back twice as hard on your way back down (or worse if supers/ultras are up)

Beat my first half decent blanka today, ended up finally managing to get an ultra in through a blanka-ball. What's annoying me at present is the shortcuts are becoming more of an obstacle than an aid now my combos are becoming more complex. The most annoying one, which is well documented by other people too on the SRK forums, is that an ultra will often come out as a EX-falling sky. No one can quite figure out why it is happening, but some people are saying that when doing a combo it will 'guess' what move you want to do next and falling sky is a higher priority than ultra or something? Not sure, either way it's helluh annoying, got beaten by a fireball spammer today because, instead of ultraing through his fireball, i made myself wide open to full damage as i did a falling sky.
The issue is that Ultras can be done by doing:
D DF D DF F, or D DF F DF D DF F rather than only D DF F D DF F and therefore the possible Ultra commands are very close to the DF DF dragon punch shortcut. If only the D DF F D DF F command was valid for ultras you'd train yourself to use it but as the others work too you'll find that you do those more as they are easier/faster to do, but then out comes the EX dragon punch >_<

is that his air throw streeteh?
i feel your pain too, i have some problems with ken... often from crouch -> dragon punch (a common scenario) it will become super/ultra if i have the bars charged since they are so similar in input

Tis indeed. I think you may have even seen it happen a few times when we were mucking about last night. Basically if you see Abel stick his hand up in the air then get smacked in the face by a fireball, know that i am shouting abusive words at the screen as soon as it happens.
Really enjoying Blanka now, might make him my actual main character.
Just need to nail the timing on his cross up combos they can be rather strict, making good use of his hop is also extremely fun.
But really I just need to learn to mix up my game more to not be as predictable.

hi guys. anyone on tonight?
Had a few games online and am amazed by the amount of people who leave when you beat them, not easily, but you still win. Don't they want to learn? I think my Fei Long game is noob at the mo and really want to tighten it up. Getting no chance at the mo as people win the first and are telegraphic, so I adapt and beat them. They leave.
Tis weird.

you seem to be doing better with blanka than balrog. sorry about cutting our games short earlier, its because i really hate it when i feel the connection is effecting me too much.
im actually thinking about taking up balrog as my first charge character ever

No problem about the games! I really enjoy Blanka for countering and annoying people with the hops but Balrog can be so much fun to play when you start rolling over people.
But I do hate playing Akuma and Sagat as Balrog.
Will be using Blanka in the PS3 league though so gonna keep with him and try to learn some new Balrog stuff on the side.
Got a quick question for 360 pad users. I play with a stick but my mates comin over tomorrow for some SFIV and I'll probably give it to him to use so I'll be stuck with the pad. I've never used it before so is the default button layout ok or should I change anything? Cheers
