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

I have no doubt you'll sneak one in soon, Tmagic. I'm not really good at the game yet, so I'm making a lot of mistakes, and I haven't gotten used to the new moves yet. There is a window open right now.

In a few weeks though: Wataaa!



And I gotta give love to the colored text. Such a great way to make a point.

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

I would love to know how the hell to get out of Zangief's throws, if anybody knows...


And Born, I was watching your vid on cancels and I was wondering how you know when to actually cancel your move?

Using Ken as an example...

It seems like you would have to do a shoryuken KNOWING that you're going to cancel it.

It doesn't seem like one would be quick enough to get the shoryuken blocked, and then decide "I'm going to cancel this to avoid leaving myself open."

How do you go about it?

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

I can't for the life of me get out of the habit of doing a technical and getting up immediately after getting downed

I know this isn't directed @ me but it's all practice practice practice... go into challenge and find a combo that would benefit from a cancel. IMO, you should only do it while ur already in a combo that may end with you doing a shoryuken. That way, if you're not already in the combo, u won't waste your time trying to cancel something. Then when u get it down pack, u can start mixing it up, use a shoryuken that u know someone will block and cancel it into something else to throw them off... at least that's how i'm trying it

I'm pretty sure Born will find a better way 2 tell u though lol


the best scenario I've seen it in so far was an akuma combo that was monstrous.. jump, downwards kick, low hurricane kick, fierce dragon punch *canceled immediately* into a super fireball... he landed right on top of the fireball

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

O. Whoops.

I meant EX canceling a move like the shoryuken. Not canceling into a super.

I should have been more specific. Thanks though Genecyst. You have any advice on that?

Re:Zangief Keep his *** away! When he gets close, jump away. Run, run, run!

Re: EX canceling. A big part of it is anticipation. You have to look at the situation and say, "Could this be blocked?" in which case, you prepare yourself to Ex cancel. Another thing is practicing the EX cancel itself. I'm adding the EX Cancel Shoryuken/Ultra Hadoken Combo to my repertoire. This is just as new to me as it is to everyone else, so it requires practice.

What I learned in that practice is that I have to get comfortable with the EX cancel itself. The fingers have to be familiar enough to have a chance to "settle" with the movement.

Even then, you're not really "reacting" with an Ex cancel. you're anticipating having to do it. The situations that you have to do it in are fairly obvious. The wakeup, in which a person is trying to be aggressive and get you into their pattern. This is the most important time to use it, because you can "reset" the fight. So they are hovering, trying to get you into a crossover/combo/throw game. Maybe they want you to wake up with a shoryuken, so they can block and punish. You know it, they know it. So you go in ready for the Ex Cancel. When you see/hear the block, your fingers are already prepared to cancel out. The dash doesn't have to be as fast as the MP+MK input.

Like a bat out of hell.

Has to be the most annoying character to fight in the game.


Thanks Born. Prolly practice that tonight.

re: Dookie and online: yeah there's some odd issues joining certain people online. I saw one guy sitting in a lobby forever yet I could never join him. Born and I still haven't been able to connect. If you're searching for a quick match, that seems to be less effective than looking for a custom match. quick matches I have about a 1 in 6 success rate as to actually connecting with somebody.

re: Zangief: to echo what born said, stay the hell away. He is one of the few characters in the game that has command throws as a special and they cannot be blocked, only avoided.

How do you unlock icons? I thought you got them for beating arcade on the hardest difficulty but didn't get any when I did.

I got icons from fighting people online

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

I know you get character specific icons by finishing their trial challenge modes (both normal and hard).

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

I want to cry.

I've been playing with my fightpad for 20 mins now... and my thumb feels normal. Not even a hint of soreness like from the PS3 pad.

So... great...

No if I can only teach my self to stop pressing the triggers for jab and short and I'll be back in business.

What a freaking great fightpad. Ryu for the mother freakin' win.
