Street Fighter (SFIV, SSFIV, HDR)

maybe oni will get me interested again, air dash in ssf4 is just too godlike. and we are talking about super turbo reversal uppercut btw.
 
I've tried to force myself to like the new MK game but I cant get into the demo at all, it feels too clunky or something. Just doesn't feel smooth to play like SF, so I should be up for some evil Ryu action for those that will still be on SSF4. :)

Nice to see Kreeeee coming online now and again for his SF fix :p ggs earlier, did you fix your stick? (I made him mash dp so hard he broke it :D) It's not even funny how you sign on so rarely and beat good players eg. Zid's Akuma using Deejay so damn easily! :eek:
 
The new online features in AE look great. Would have liked them to come with Super.

Might get AE for new Gouken and Oni. And maybe for Gief (no tatsu escape for Ryus :D)

Yeah, my 5 pin connector to the JLF stick came lose. I can only mash when I play non-charge characters as I still haven't learned how to play anyone other then DeeJay/Rog.

The free AE balance patch will be great for me, bring on mid tier DeeJay!
 
I picked up a copy of SSFV for the PS3 ages ago since it was cheap, only just started playing it this week and have thrown myself straight into the online side of the game rather than vs cpu, however quickly learning that I suck :P

Any recommended guides or tip sites for getting into this game a bit more, or should I simply start hitting arcade mode a lot until I get better.
 
Fighting the CPU makes you worse.

Start with Ryu and do the following:

Opponent far away: Fireball
Jumping at you: dragon punch/crouch heavy punch
Right next to you: Throw

And then work from there. SSFIV is a heavily turtle based game, so it's far far better to defend and react than to attack.

Why do you think the AE patch will be free?
I'm not sure whether it will be or not.

Because you can play people with the patch when you don't have it, ala Blazblue CS and Marvel 3. It's the direction all fighting games are going in.

Any balance changes get applied across the board but new characters cost a bomb.

Crappy replay channels and pointless achievements will likely have a fee too but unless capcom do something idiotic like letting you play Vanilla/Super characters against AE characters then in order to play people with Super when you have AE, it will have to work like Marvel 3 currently does.

That's what I thought at first, but when they said that you will be able to use AE to play Super players, that makes me think those with AE can play AE or Super, while those with Super can obviously only play Super.

I don't know about BB, but I'm guessing it's nothing like the situation with BB or mvc3. You can't choose to play pre-patch. Which is what AE players will be able to do.

yeah, i agree with kreeeee. the easiest way to win on ssf4 online is to turtle and react to stuff, especially with the ps3 lag.

i find people on it really really bad though. i can beat most people with just ryu's fireball and c.hp, or just bison's hk. they never seems to learn you cant just jump at me for no reason when i can c.hp you all day...
 
Turtling isn't necessarily hiding in the corner holding down back. It's pretty much universally accepted that blocking and reacting is vastly superior to attacking in this game, and it's one of the slowest fighting games out there. So much stuff is unsafe on block and derp reversals help a lot too.

AE massively changes that though with the twins.
 
hey arth, we should try and do the ume-touch-of-death combo in this video the next time we play!


i expect us to play like this the next time we play as well ;):p

is it just me or are you doing a lot of focus attacks zid? i think that was the only reason i won quite a few today. i was so bad today, dropping combos left, right and centre. and absolutely stressed out from mavel though.
