If the Guile knows what he's doing he'll rarely use that sweep from point blank range as it's extremely unsafe. You can focus, ultra, or choose whatever punishment you see fit to punish the second hit of the sweep.

For some reason I'm finding grapplers really fun to use. I've always stayed away from them but I've been using Hakan and T.Hawk at a pretty high clip in this game.

Truth. Gotta start learning some Hakan soon, but still gotta get my T Hawk down though.

So are you focusing the sweep? If I block it and counter I usually run right into a flash kick...w/ Balrog it has priority over the headbutt and punch...

It seems that Mo blocks the first hit, then uses the focus right after that to absorb the second hit.

I don't see any reason to keep Street Fighter IV if you have Super Street Fighter IV, unless you want to get some achievements or something like that.

LOL, I did, I just wanted to make sure there was really no reason to keep IV anymore.

Sentimental value, maybe.

I really want to start getting my Rufus and Ibuki on. I need to expand my skills further than Ryu and Sakura.

I'm finding out something interesting about the way I play my two main characters (Cammy & Ryu) on a fightpad vs. a stick.

Basically, I'm playing Cammy a lot better on the stick and Ryu better on the pad. It's not like their controller motions are THAT different (Cammy has a few extra ones to make up for her lack of a fireball), but the biggest difference is that most of her (good) moves work off the kick buttons as opposed to Ryu's punches. Dunno why, but it's just working better for me that way. I'm still having plenty of issues on the stick with moves I can do on the pad though, particularly throws, focus and FADC. Just not used to having two fingers hit buttons at the same time - I'm way too out of practice from my arcade days.

That 4th/8th button on the fightstick is a godsend though - I'd never be getting Ultras off either if I had to hit all three P/K buttons at the same time.

How do you guys like the replay feature? I think it's awesome, but I wish there was a way to filter the BP levels so you didn't get 0 BP vs. 0 BP all the time - I'd like to actually learn something once in a while.

Also, is it just me or do endless battles sometiimes show up in the replays too? Sometimes I'll see a win counter by a player's name during a fight, which I don't believe appears during ranked fights.

RobinHood is a buddy of mine. And yea, I'm maining DeeJay now. I just suck at doing combos. I cant link for the life of me and its killing my game. GGs to you and Mo. You're getting better and I still hate his rushdown Fei lol. I just freeze up like a deer and get raped.

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

GGs last night. I watched the replays this morning, good stuff.

You guys gotta stop mashing crouch tech and jabs/shorts in between strings though, it's killing you. Save that for the flowchart Kens, that's their shtick.

With any rushdown being put on you the best thing to do is to learn to deal with it. Meaning just block, look for openings to counter and get ready to tech throw, if you just mash out jabs or techs you allow your opponent to start baiting stuff (mashed out DPs) or you're going to get counter hit or worse, knocked down, which then resets the guessing game.

Also a lot of things are being punished with throws, when they can be punished with more damaging combos/moves. I know it's easy to fall into throwing for punishment, hell it's only two buttons and a free knockdown, but learn your characters most damaging combo/move and start punishing accordingly.

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

Yea crouching tech is for sure my problem. I'm just not fast like you at reacting and teching throws. And that kills me with ur Fei cuz you get a free combo off of crouching jab when I'm mashing tech like an idiot lol.
