I'm leaning that way, abel had skills that allowed him to deal with shoto characters but no air defence. Cammy has great air defence but no meant to approach a shoto without jumping (as i noticed against you playing sagat) which leaves her well open to anti-air.

Gouken seems to have a bit of everything. He also has a very easy but incredibly punishing lead in to a super, takes away like 1/4 of their health and there's not much chance of making a mistake.

Her tornado throw move backfist goes through fireballs though - just need to get the timing right (like hurricane kicks)

ps3ud0 :cool:
 
I was maining sagat but I've gone off him completely because ryus jumping middle kick beats his HK anti air everytime.

And he's so slow and is way too open to punishment.

You shouldn't really be jumping in on people anyway (unless cross ups), Sagats game is throwing fireballs and making your opponent come to you then punishing them.
 
Im not jumping in I am talking about ryu jumping in with middle kick beats sagats standing high kick ?

I have come to an impass with sagat at around 2000 bp Im changing my main to ken his combos take so little skill to pull off.

if you want an easy character, you should stick to sagat ;)

you know that sagat has like 3-4 anti air options right? if ryu is beating you out of your s.hk then you are doing it way way too late or at the wrong range.
 
Just had a little 20 min bash on an arcade stick, playing SF2HDR. Had no fun with Ken or Sagat but plenty of fun with Guile. I will probably get mine in a few days, so either I will try and try and struggle with Sagat, or choose a charge character and start from scratch. Fun times :D
 
Streeteh or Margaret, when you guys finish playing if either of you are still up for a session shout me! I will be up late tonight :)
 
Does gouken have reduced health? He has stupidly easy super and ultra opportunities but i can't help but notice that when i use him i just seem to lose health incredibly fast. Not complaining, as i say his ultra/super links are just incredibly easy.
 
Lies! His fireball is pretty good... well compared to abel he has good anti air :(

Really annoying feeling like i'm at square one, haven't practiced with Abel in days but i'll lose to people in friendlies several times in a row with all these new characters that i'm experimenting with, then i'll select abel and start winning again.

I just don't feel like i'm learning anything with Abel any more, i either kick someones arse or have my arse kicked. There's no middle ground, no close matches where i feel i've learned something from the experience any more, i either prosper or suffer. Real shame as i do love his fighting style, he just doesn't have a single move to use as anti air
 
That is a shame. I spar a lot with ~Divine~Wind~ and we both have improved a lot from playing each other, although he plays to be flashy rather than to win.

GGs Margaret, were you using your stick tonight then? Madcatz SE one right?

If I stand there doing punches instead of fireballs it is safe to assume I'm using my stick. :p

Did a lot of jabbing and just glad that the button is working fine now, so I'm ruling my poor performance down to "stick testing" ;) and I'll also call it "Ryu practice" yes that is the only reason I sucked. ;) :D

Lol, I wouldn't really call it a poor performance, it was pretty even and you went through quite afew characters. I have no choice but to stick to Sagat vs you :p I threw plenty of stupid ultras against Balrog thinking you were about to come flying in with a punch so any slight little movement and I quickly do an ultra, only to realise you are still sat there blocking in the corner lol.

I enjoyed playing though, you are quite good all round with all the characters you used, I was giving it my 'A' game every match tbh. How long you had the stick now then?

lol I'm trying to learn Sagat and Ryu a bit, need to learn some new Balrog tricks and I'm not too fussed about Blanka anymore.

Had the stick since Feb 20th and still adjusting every day really, I can at least throw fireballs most of the time now! I have new parts coming for it within the next 3 weeks hopefully but I doubt they will make any significant difference to my skillz. :D
