Street Fighter (SFIV, SSFIV, HDR)

Arth, any tips for ST then? What are Ryu's best 'basic' combos? What's the best way to play against Vega? :o

Bear in mind I've only got about 5 hours of experience more than you :p

For me, currently I do a lot of crossup HK, cr.HP, fireball. 40-50% damage. (use cr.MK instead of cr.HP if you arent right next to them)
The next step is probably jump-in attack, cr.MP, cr.MK, fireball. (jumping attack isnt necessary of course).
You can also cancel cr.HK into fireball. So if the sweep gets blocked, you still get more meter and pressure. If the sweep connects though, you'll have less time to set up your wakeup pressure.

I don't have much problems with vian's vega when using Ryu if all I do is diagonal jump mp. If you hit him during forward jump, jump again and do another mp (or Super). Jumping tatsus will probably work too.

Oh, and try some more wakeup dragon punches. Perfect reversal timing is difficult though. Instead of pressing one punch when you do the move, drum your fingers quickly over all 3 punches (dont hold any of them down). Personally, I find the timing to be earlier than in SF4.
 
Well see I would have said that but there arent any (at least I cant think of any) games where I would use the arcade cabinet like that... nonetheless it is just pure AWESOME :)
Wonder if you can plug the charger into it... surely you can....?

(Actually no one answer that. Otherwise its OT).
 
Good luck to those of you who entered Gavsgarden. :)

DAMN, forgot all about that! Thanks for the reminder... checking my msgs now!

Edit: Signed online at 1pm, added my opponent, played him and got beat, signed out. Should really have spend 15 mins warming up :/ his Akuma was good but I've beaten better Akumas! Good luck to the rest of you guys.

Oh my God. I was 2-0 up against madbeats and playing solid...and I lost 3-2 :confused

I start night shifts tonight so plz msg me as soon as u see me online for league games. Oh kreee sign me up for ur ST tournie, im up for that. I use ryu.
 
Lost in semis against a swiss ryu who had incredible yomi, a good run considering I don't feel at my best

Unlucky mate, off form getting to the semis means on form you'd be in the final! ;) The other semi is madbeats vs imstilldadaddy lol, I've played both those guys quite afew times and its hard to call it. Are any of these games getting uploaded to youtube?
 
Good games earlier Vian. Always enjoy our matches and the good banter, even if it was a bit too focussed on Makoto's Ultra 1 Nut Buster :p
 
How are you chaps getting on with MK? I'm giving it an honest chance but it feels like a bit of an effort to enjoy the game at the moment. Not least because it's turned my SF game to brass.

I tried the demo and forced myself to play it for like 10-15 mins but the whole feel of the game was just wrong. I've not touched the demo since but was still thinking about getting it, was hoping if I spend some time in practice mode I might start getting the hang of it? What do you think of it so far? Likes, dislikes?

Looks like we get a league final rematch in gavsgarden for third place:

Overmostheads vs Madbeats

GL guys. :)
 
Dislikes: negative edge is HUGE in this game, expecially during dialled in combos.
Block button is kinda weird but I've gotten used to it.
Training mode doesn't remember what you set it to last time, each time you go in you have to change the options again (does my nut in)
Trying to find a character with a good high-low mixup since a lot of characters aren't very threatening if you just block low.

Likes: Story mode is kinda cool but as soon as I've fought 3 times with a character to get used to him, I'm on to another character and then back to staring at the moves list. I've taken to writing the important stuff down for each character so I don't have to faff with the manual or the moveslist menu.
