Either somethings just clicked or a miracle. I'm on a 15 match ranked win streak !

I still can't get more than 4 ranked wins in a row.

wow and it only costs £46, cheaper than the parts for my se

only if you buy it from that Hong Kong based store, It might take a week to arrive, then you have to pay duty etc.. on it.

I had to pay £80.

I've played with it for 20mins or so now.

It's very light(under 2Kg) How heavy is the SE? The buttons seem a bit stiff at the moment, maybe they just need breaking in or for me to get used to them. I am struggling to do my Ultra and super combos with Ken at the moment, I suppose with practice I will get used to it. I won't be playing online with it for a while though, I would get hammered.

Hi, yep its £46 from there + delivery (which doesn't show until your about to hit the payment screen lol, all in £64 via courier or registered

the SE is kind of heavy, id say just over 2kg

I'm not going to bother with this to be honest, I've spent far too much on SF4 and so far its made me worse lol, on the upside I got a email dispatch from gremlin saying my parts were sent yesterday

Got it to there, then lost. I really wanted 20 but my hands started shaking at 15

Sorry I had to split Tony my Dad wanted me to get him the latest Lost episode so I had to rob my PS3 network cable quick for my laptop (wireless router isn't with me atm), would have messaged but cba typing on an arcade stick.

Ah, I think my BP is too high to get a big streak :(

JohnnyDrama · 10 Apr 2009 at 16:33

Yeah, that streak started at 400bp, I only seem to play people with low BP online. Never matches me to higher rated people

I have no idea how to work Rufus or Vega, think out of the 1000 odd matches I've had I've seen maybe 10 Rufus and 5 Vega's. :\

Abel is annoying as well not too sure what to do with him, that roll is just annoying.

Logsi · 10 Apr 2009 at 16:52

Least you can beat people in ranked!

I really want to TE stick! Tempted to get a SE to see if it's worth it first!

that the character i can use against you sagat. my vega needs improving big time lol but rufus for the win lol

Reality|Bites · 10 Apr 2009 at 17:06

I treat Abel players the same way I do Zangief players.

Stay back and wait for them to come to you(no projectiles from them)

Then jump back with hard kick and then sweep. Crouch down and hard punch if they get over head.

thats a sweet joystick lol

ive got to try one of them

Don't see the point in something like that at all, most the enjoyment from playing sf4 comes from learning more moves/combo's and adding them into your game.

you can block all cross ups by blocking the opposite way!

I can swear I do that but thinking about it now, maybe sometimes I'm crouched down. It could be that, so when the first hit is in it leaves me open. Oh and sometimes it looks like a cross up, I block the other way and they infact land right in front of you =/ My bro plays with Ken, I use to beat him consistently without much trouble but everytime I play against you he's normally watching and now he ties me up with cross ups a lot

On a good note, I played some online ranked games this morning for about an hour. I met an akuma player who was on 7300BP, beat him and took 128 points off him

I'm almost at 3000BP now.

Streeteh · 10 Apr 2009 at 18:01

Thing about abel is not only is he faster than gief, he's actually one of the fastest characters in the game. If someone tries what you've said i marseillis roll a few times to catch up to them before they land then either tornado throw or crouch medium punch into a combo.

Best way to beat abel is to just figure out what moves are higher priority than his, many are, lots of his moves have a long cool-down period so just punish him during them too.

Amusing anecdote of the day is beating a blanka player with thousands of BP, like 6000, as he had set the timer down to something incredibly short and one round. I'm assuming he just lamed his victories as all he did was crouch and electrocute, fortunately i knew that a crouch fierce kick would break that then tornado threw him on getup. Result was a timed victory for me and a hell of a lot of BP, shed loads in fact as i'm using my parents PS3 and had like 300BP when i beat him.

I did not know you could bait people into jumping over a fireball as Sagat but then fadc out of the fireball animation and do f.HK > ultra

This will prove interesting against chris_beans

You pulled a f.HK > ultra against me as well yesterday. I think you try and throw one of them every game don't you?

its normally game over anyway if they jump on reaction to a projectile

Playing as Sagat is hilarious, half the time I just sit there staring at my opponent as they are just getting ready for me to chuck a fireball so it's a complete stalemate.

I try! This new Sanwa stick is throwing me off a little as it does feel pretty different and I've been doing tiger knees instead of the ultra so trying to get used to it again, I reckon I'm just doing the command too fast but I prefer to practice online.

Going online now for a bit, toodle-oo.
