Street Fighter (SFIV, SSFIV, HDR)

I absolutely love fighting balrogs with my blanka now. Without their EX I find it really easy to stuff them.

Nitefly, try this shortcut:

DB charge
D
DF
D
DB
B
BU + KKK
 
Bloody Sanwa buttons, I keep jumping in as Sagat to do his jump into uppercut bnb but it gets blocked, now I mean to stop attacking but I still end up doing the uppercut. :p Oh well I will get used to them, they require much less pressure.

Ah yeah good point that is probably what I am doing, will have to get this sorted.

I am pleased that I have no issues cancelling at all now, although I still failed to bait chris into jumping by cancelling out of a fireball, I was hoping to follow up with roundhouse to ultra, that would have been ace. :D Too early though :(.
 
added some of you guys to my XBL account last night when i was on.

will try get on later in the week for a few matches (AKA me get owned)
 
dear god i suck with a stick :D

In two minds of whether i should continue trying to use it or leave it until the league is over. As it stands all i'm doing is gradually improving my very sub-par stick skills and decreasing my pad skills.
 
you should keep practicing with your stick but use pad in your league games imo, unless you get really comfortable with it
 
Problem is the more i play with a stick the worse i'll get with the pad :p

Just played some games with margaret, really infuriating as it's worse than starting from scratch. At least when i started from scratch with the pad i could do the moves, just didn't know when. Now i can't do the moves but know exactly when i SHOULD be doing them. The number of times i saw an opening, went to punish but ended up jumping and jabbing/medium punching then jabbing/crouched medium kick was just insane. I think i pulled off a successful punish less times than i could count on both hands in 5 matches of 5 rounds.

Also i'm putting so much effort into concentrating how i'm moving the stick that i'm forgetting basic things such as blocking

I know that 99% of my problems are down to lack of practice, its just difficult as i know i've got loads of league games left but also want to keep practising with the stick.

I was just surprised how much I was getting my focus cancels to come out, pretty much perfect everytime just need to practice getting the roundhouse and ultra in correctly everytime now, can do the roundhouse but slip up when inputting the ultras as I tend to rush it and mess it up.

Rushdown Sagat is quite fun too. :D

What was your tag? I declined an invite from <somename>82 as they never sent a message saying who they were and I didn't recognise the name from ocuk.

Also, a really useful resource: http://streetfighterdojo.com/sf4/index.html

That bug on PS3 is really annoying, if you send a message and go back into the game you sometimes carry on with the darkened screen and it doesn't go away until you reset, however just now I got the darkened screen after receiving a message mid-game, very annoying. (only had it happen after sending a message before though)

Rarely happens at least.
 
yea on the main menu, press L1/R1 (cant remember which) it will will bring up another menu to switch off fight requests and change your title/icon etc.
 
Nice little session earlier ojste, I'm deffo better with the stick, but I'm still struggling with the charge characters for some reason.
I really WANT to be good with Gen, but I currently seem to lack the capacity.
Hopefully I'll get better in a couple of months when I'll have done my arcade stick project.

Tried the Hori with KoF '98 earlier, it NEEDS an octagonal gate, KoF isn't nearly as forgiving with it's inputs as SFIV.
