Also, i noticed that even against you, using light command throw when you got up from a knock-down was very effective. I just felt lame using it, especially several times in a row. Need to decide whether that is indeed a viable tactic or, as i like to call it, 'a gief'.

Still need to work on my pokes too...

use it! its not lame if it works!

im guessing its main advantage is its priorty, of course it beats out my pokes which is something you should consider!

doing things multiple times in a row is also not lame, its actually a good way to mess with someones mind (mind games), but thats a whole other discussion right there :p

Those of you who use the standard PS3 controller, what button config do you guys use? Especially ojste.

The way I have my layout, I don't have a LP or LK on there which I NEED!

left trigger
focus

left button
throw

right trigger
3x K

right button
3x P

the 4 buttons are: MP HP MK HK
Click to expand...

not binding lp/lk is a BAD idea!

my buttons are default settings with 2 binds switched around... default settings has hp/hk one one side of triggers and x3 on the other side, i prefer it old school way with hp/hk on the front set of triggers and x3 on the rear set.

throw/focus attack buttons are not needed imo (with default controls anyway) as your thumb naturally goes over the buttons needed to press them.

Nice Margaret, make sure you share your Blanka tips with me, particularly Vs Akuma :)

For Akuma I find jumping over his meaty fireballs an excellent way to get a slide in and take a fairly nice bit of his hp off, when he's getting up hop towards him so he thinks it's uppercut time then punish with another roll or a throw.

When they try to jump back and spam air fireballs try and get your air rolls with fierce punch in as fast as possible to catch them out. (even safer with EX versions)

Always good to build super/ultra by focusing some of the air fireballs too then you can get just EX the **** for massive damage. (:p)

That's all I can say really! I haven't fought many. :)
 
Ken's easy combo into fierce dragon punch does so much damage, that annoying kick and kara throw also do my head in.

Need sleep, lost so many games because I missed the timing on overhead to ultra combo. :o
 
yea easy punishment combo, most chars will have something very similar...

i wont get the opportunity to punish if you don't headbutt as much, it would be like me using fierce dragon punch all the time outside of combos (thats the reason i don't)

balrog has an easy combo to hit confirm headbutt with

Fancy a few games? I'm on for a bit more!

Good games e36adz, although I ate some STUPID ultras and supers was still enjoyable (at times :D) I'm guessing you are not too used to playing Balrog? :p

I've never played as Dhalsim before tonight and I only know 3 of his moves and combos, I don't play Sagat much either but aim to learn him in the future. :cool: (his uppercut > roundhouse > ultra is too good to miss out on) :p

Definitely need practise as Im playing woefully of late and relying on noob stuff to hit off energy...

Online seems to be all about Ryu/Gief/Blanka now the 3 cheese characters.
Click to expand...

Orly? Tis Ken/Sagat/Blanka here.

That however, is the good thing about playing a character who isn't one of those, people generally don't have a clue how to deal with him/her.
 
No I mean the really decent players are those and there isn't much you can actually do to stop em especially zangief.
 
yea hes stupid strong, he always controls the game as well because of the speed of his tiger shots... just practicing my hurricane combos atm :D

his normals are really strong and just regular specials lol

Aye tiger shots and roundhouse, unfortunately I fail at the roundhouse rather hard. :p

Annoying! In training mode I can pull off his uppercut > cancel > roundhouse > ultra most of the time but when it comes to online I **** it up, as soon as I get 2 bars on the EX I get horny and start uppercutting like it's 1979.
