Street Fighter (SFIV, SSFIV, HDR)

Kreeeee fancy a few rounds this evening mate? The ranked matches aren't improving my game cause I keep playing cautious trying to hold onto my hard won bps. Plus theres no banter with randoms :)

Ever had one of those days where you can't play for poop?

Yep, that's me :(

seems experimenting has mixed me up a bit and now i never really seem to punish as best i can when i get the opportunity, so many times i've missed my chance due to pausing for a second to decide what to use.

Morning guys. Got my Catz SE stick yesterday and ........ I am just not getting on with it - need some advice.

Now I have never played SF in the arcades and never on a stick at home (always pad) so this is completely new to me. I have played with it for about 3 hours now and I just cannot get to grips with it at all. I can pull of the moves, but just so inconsistently it is just not true.

Fireball - most of the time I am doing a crouching punch and then when I move the stick further I jump. same with dragon punch.
spinning kicking - the same; sweep or jump kick.

I think one of the big issues for me is the fact that the stick moves in a square base and so you can't naturally swing the stick around - it goes to the corners. I thought that it would move in a circle or a octagonal base so you can feel when the stick is at the top, down forward, forward, down back, etc etc, positions. the difference in position between down forward, foward, forward up is just to small for me to be able to pull off precision moves and quickly. if there was a notch or something so I could feel when the stick was in the positions that I think I would find it easier.

I appreciate that it is me and not the stick, as top players use sticks. However has anybody else found this and any advice? Also I read that some people have modified the stick with Sanwa parts; what does this do and how did it help you?

Cheers in advance.

Edit: Just saw this video on you tube.

Pff ya turd :D Couldve told me!
(Which you stick you got buddy?)

Im about to head out for a little while but will be back later to swear abuse at you down the headset :D
 
On another note, was just playing some guy who is fairly decent he beat me as Guile and Abel, but trashed him while he was playing Gouken, Ken, Ryu and someone else.

Thing is, Ive been playing Guile all the time right? As soon as I selected Blanka he freezes on me in game, doesnt move and then sends me a message and send he doesnt play against Ehonda Blanka players cause theyre noob type characters or something.

Im like o_O. But sent him a message and said ok I wont select Blanka, despite him selecting nearly every character on the game roster whereas I was only using Guile.

He doesnt respond, I tell him oh well gg's. But frankly wanted to speak my mind.
Heyho. At least we dont get such attitude here with OCUK players... except Jamesdavid :D
 
blanka can be seen as 'noob character' or whatever because he has some properties which make him really difficult to deal with, hes one of those characters that 'noobs' flock to because he can get easy wins.

i guess the gief is looked at in the same way and possibly sagat
 
I'd never even think of claiming blanka is a 'noob' character, but there's no denying that he is a difficult one to learn how to beat. As it stands, if i go online and play randomers the moment they pick blanka i *know* the odds of me winning are small.

He is the only character i think that about, they could pick any other character and i would go in with full confidence, but not him, surely that must signify something?

He is ever so slightly over-powered in my opinion...
