Its just straight up wrong how strong Guile is with his flash kick priority and air throw priority.

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

Just picked up the game earlier and i'm definitely not that good lol. Part of it is definitely the ****ty 360 D-Pad but timing is critical as well. So far i'm 2-9, the 2 coming with my guy Ryu. Im already considering switching to someone else because as soon as i got online i turned into a shoryuken whore.

Faced my first Zangief online and yeah, its kind of ridiculous. 360 d-pad was definitely the culprit (EX Shoryukens instead of Ryu's ultra FTW) but I should've beat him regardless. FWIW i've noticed that my 2 wins came when i tried out blocking (who knew)

I'd like to get in a few matches with some OSers at some point. I realize i have to start on the bottom floor of the dojo, tempting as it is to test myself against the shoguns lol

How do you defend against people that play Ryu or Ken that keep jumping towards the opposite side of where you're defending? The orientation of the other player's jump attack is hard to block.

It sure is, and that's why it's so effective. It's called a cross-up, and it's been in SF forever.

If you're not quick enough to block to the right side (and it's hard when there's any kind of lag) you might be better off just trying to counter them with a vertical attack of your own - Shoryukens and the like.

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

I mess up the averages.

All of you guys are getting better. I gotta step my game up. Rufus is improving, but I need one more character to round things out. I want to put Ken and Ryu on ice because they are soooooo overused online, but they are still my homerun hitters. Still haven't decided on that fourth spot yet. Sagat..? hm...

Sagat is pretty cool to play with.
im pretty good with Sagat, ask bcruise. :wink:

I'm going to take this opportunity to give a little advice to everyone.

When you come up on a player doing the same thing every single time, thank the fighting game gods. Thank them. Why? Because this is a GOLDEN opportunity to work on countering that move. You rarely get the chance to work on a counter in competition like that. So start trying things with that character to counter. Experiment. Loosen up and exhaust your options.

On the other side--and this is going to sound heartless and mean--but if you have someone that is puzzled by a certain move or moves, KILL that scrub and move on to someone who can help you get better. Kill him fast, kill him mean. Frustrate him and make him worse for the rest of the night. From a strategic standpoint, this is the chance to sharpen that technique. He keeps falling for crossovers? Good, work on those crossover/FADC/ultra combos, using him as a test dummy for every brief second of his fading life.

the Ryus and Kens of the online world love trying to do this. What I do is block high to defend the initial jump kick, then when they're trying to go to ground straight into the leg sweep, I give them just a little medium punch. Nothing big. But it hits them and prevents them from going to the ground for that leg sweep.

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

I went absolutely nuts last night. I had a 15 game win streak going and then I played this guy who was Blanka. What I didnt notice was that this a**hole set it to 1 round and 30 sec rounds. He got a little lead on me and just turtled in the corner the whole round. I'm sittin there planning my attack and freakin time over comes on the screen. I ended up losing around 180BP because he was around 0. Anyway, does anyone else go crazy when they lose to scrubs like I do?

Just a bit. Only when I knew I had a round, and threw it away by not focusing up. If I'm messing around with Rufus or something, I can let it go, but it's hard to tolerate missed opportunities. You just know that you can't allow people to make mistakes. Missing out on punishing mistakes is inexcusable.

What's your longest win streak, Couple?
