Nice fight MC. That second round was vicious.

I need to play this game more.

First off, I'm mostly messing with you, man!

But I will address a few things for the audience playing at home, just in case it helps people break down the game more.

Yea, it's a really good AA, sucks that it only goes straight up though.

Lol, Born it wasn't that bad. When I said turtling I was only really referring to the last couple of rounds. I can never get in on chun because of her range/pokes. My wakeup options are limited because she's most likely sitting on sbk which covers normals and crossups. If you watch the video again you see that I only started punishing her jumpins with kyaku after I got raped in the 3rd round and realized how much of his offense started with a jumpin.

I was more referring to how there was zero offense mounted. Not turtling in the sense of *just* waiting, but you know, it's funny watching you sit there, and then watching this fool go, "whelp! guess it's time to jump again!"

WTF?

I used a couple of chicken wings to close the distance, but chun can easily stop those with one of her pokes. Other than that I tried to stay in fierce Rekka range to close ground and hit confirm.

I'm still trying to get better though. I like using characters who can rushdown their opponent...only I suck at rushing people down.

I'm not nearly as quick on the sticks to be able to rushdown, read, AND react like you're able to do with Rufus. So for now I have to resort to reading and reacting.

Plus, I only threw her 3 times, in 5 rounds! I was actually shocked. You know how much I like to throw.

First off..

just for using Fei Long. I have no idea how to begin an offense with him, and you know if I had my druthers I'd just rush people down until they quit Street Fighter

So not being able to rush with Fei is a beeyotch.

As far as you rushing, you probably need to do what I need to do, only in reverse. I have to go and just work on FAs, because a lot of 3rd Strike players are lagging behind on using them, and reacting to them. It's a common affliction. You have to pick a character, take the hit on your BP or win %, and just attack, attack, attack, until you start filling in the gaps. Then you can selectively rushdown, punish, and turtle up.

I used to be a defensive player, but I'm on the rushdown kick until I'm regular with meaty combos and priority zoning footsie moves. Once I get that, I can get back to my patient game, knowing that it's more complete. Like I said, you gotta do the opposite.

I would say kudos on the throwing, but you don't throw as much with Fei, and honestly, I don't want to discourage you from throwing. It keeps the battles honest. I'm really slow on reacting to throws because I used to play with a no throwing squad, and old habits die hard. Officially I have no problem with throwing, but the brain hasn't sent the memo to the hands.

Question for you guys:

What level of connection do you guys feel is the minimum for a non-laggy game? What I mean is being able to block both sides of a cross up and such. Like you guys, I end up playing a lot of Ken's and the higher ranked ones (usually with 1 bar) like to jump in for a crossup, come down on the other side and immediately Shoryuken. I could swear I switch sides early enough to block it, but I always seem to get roasted. On the rare Ken I've played with a 3 or 4 bar connection, I CAN block that move.

I know it's my own fault for accepting a challenge against a bad connection, but I hate turning down 10 of them just to get the one playable one.

On that note, has anyone ever actually seen a green connection?

its funny u ask this cuz i was just going through this problem.

u want at least 2 bars preferably 3. problem is, most people that challenge me usually have no bars. and if i turn them all down i would hardly ever get to fight. what is also wierd is that i have faced people who have no bars and the fight was smooth!?

im to the point now that if i keep getting opponents i have to turn down ill take an opponent who at least has 1 bar.

I won't play unless I see at least 3 bars, anything less than that and I've always run into choppiness. The highest I've ever seen has been 4 bars, and this is even w/people on my friends list that I know have fiber optic cable.

yeah i have never seen the full green bar. the most i have seen is 4 which is yellow. i wish there was a way i can see how many bars i have.

Re: Street Fighter IV (360/PS3/PC)

Im thinking my router is preventing me from seeing connection bars. Ive never seen a bar at all, but my matches are almost always lag free. Its easy to tell when a match will have lag because of the time it takes to connect to one another.

Yeah I had to start using another controller cause it was messing with the first one I was using.

Re: Street Fighter IV (360/PS3/PC)

Nice video Mo. Your definitely very skilled. I just personally don't like fighting people who just basically sit and just wait to counter attack. Its a great way to get wins, but just like Bernard Hopkins in boxing its skillfull and very smart but not much fun to play against. IMO

Yeah man, my controller isnt used to this type of beating.....

**jmood88** · 03-26-2009, 12:29 PM

Re: Street Fighter IV (360/PS3/PC)

I'm gonna have to find one of those fight pads soon cause I can't have this game messing with my regular controllers.

**BTB** · 03-26-2009, 04:35 PM

Re: Street Fighter IV (360/PS3/PC)

I just got the hang of this game if anyone wants to ball. My characters of choice are 1)Fei Long 2)Akuma/Ryu/Ken and I'm alright with Bison when I get in a groove, his moves can be tricky to pull off sometimes. But yea I tend to stick with Fei Long b/c people get annoyed when you use Akuma or someone like that, accusing you of being cheap. So if anyone wants to get kung fu'd let me know

This.

And BTB's lineup sounds pretty much like mine, though I throw in Sagat if i'm on a cold streak (or Fuerte if i'm on a hot one)

**SHO** · 03-26-2009, 11:32 PM

Re: Street Fighter IV (360/PS3/PC)

I fought 12 Sagats straight online tonight. Twelve.

At this point, I'm WISHING to fight a Shotokan user.

Re: Street Fighter IV (360/PS3/PC)

I don't know if I'm lucky, or if it's just the 360, but I haven't been seeing a disproportionate amount of Sagat or Ken. It's been pretty spread around. I even saw a Honda.

Last night I played like crap against this Ken. I couldn't live with it, so I invited him to a PvP room for revenge. Rufus wore him OUT, haha. That was satisfying. The guy was cool though. Love meeting cool SFers.
