Street Fighter 4!

Darkside, see if you can figure this out: I'm trying to do C. Viper's challenge mode (where you have to input what it tells you to). In level 3, the 2nd combo where it asks you to do a jumping heavy kick followed directly by a heavy burning kick while still airborne... I can pull it off fine, but Dan seems to block the burning kick and it's not registering. Or maybe I'm just doing it wrong. Either way, I can't figure it out.

Edit: After about 20 minutes of trying, I finally pulled it off. Not sure how I did it, but....
 
Was that what you were practicing? I saw you online, then you signed off. That's what you were doing, huh? ;)

I'm doing the challenge modes myself right now. Some of these are pure evil.
 
Yeah, I got up to the one where you have to pull of an EX seismic hammer, followed by a high jump immediately into a burning kick. My sore fingers needed a rest.

I have not done C viper's trial challenges but some of the moves they ask ya to do seem pretty hard to time in order to string together. Was doing Ken's earlier to see what the challenge is all about (since I know all his moves).
The last one I did with Ken was jump H kick> M punch > H punch > M shoryuken and then canceled into a shoryureppa (super).
 
Woo, finished all the normal challenges for C. Viper, the hard ones are a little bit intimidating for tonight.
 
See now I can never see games like this being a true singleplayer experience.

I mean, fighting games will always be co-op in my eyes.

Whats the appeal? I mean I know its Street Fighter which is like one of the first games I ever played, I cant see myself sitting down and playing the crap out of games like this though *confused*

Single player is just for learning each character, unlockables and practising moves/combos. There's plenty of fun to be had in arcade/challenge/training modes - i've spent over 10 hours just trying to master Abel - but multiplayer is where the game shines.

Best game in ages btw :)
 
How many of you are using the standard PS3/360 pad? Im getting a MadKats pad soon, homefully will make combos easier

Also, I have a 16Meg ADSL connection with 1.2Meg upstream and I cannot connect to any player or ranked match online on my 360

When I search for a Quick Player match, I get 3 results and at first the network symbol flashes and then goes solid, but no bars next to it, does that mean its a weak connection? I can connect 1 out of 10 times like this but its very annoying.
 
Btw how does the match making work? Is it like in Soul calibur 4 where you press search button and get the windows saying "match full" untill you give up? Or then it was some other xbox360 game, but the idea is the same, the game would only lookup one match, try it, if it was full -> back to title screen.
 
why can't the world give me a break and just release goldeneye for the PC/360

please world?

anyone know where I can get a rom or whatever to play the ported version on pc? PM me if you don't mind
 
I've been playing all yesterday and today. I'm really liking it, though the people I play with don't really like me... :X I can't manage to pull off the Ultra combos very well (like Ken's) because of the Xbox controller. It really is shit for this game. Having a hard time with Focus Canceling and the like as well D:
 
So would anyone recommend picking up this game if you haven't played SF since SF2 on SNES?

I'm itching for a good fighting game but I don't need one asap.
 
I have been using a PS3 dual shock pad but got a blister. hehe
Starting using the analog stick for a bit so I could still play without killing my thumb. Took me a bit to get that down with some control using my thumb. So small compared to an arcade stick.

I see amazon just got in stock the hori real arcade pro 3 (ps3). Might have to order one. ($100)

They make us use 360 controllers for the tournament. :hmph: I find it's better to use the analog stick on that one than the Dpad. Try it out if you haven't already and see if that feels better to you. The Dpad can be testy.

HWAT

I might need to get one then in addition to upgrading my SE fightstick with a new joystick. Thing is so borked. Last night for a brief few minutes it was interpreting "left" as "down." It got stuck in that position.

EDIT: Hey no it's not you liar. Unless you meant a different Amazon region, because on Amazon.com this bloody thing is still $219, and I don't even see it on Amazon.co.uk.

SFIV, in my opinion, is the easiest Street Fighter to get into. You certainly won't be too handicapped if you pick up the game and start playing it, go through arcade mode and the challenges to help yourself bring your game up, and fight against people online to hone your skills.

It's a much easier from SF2 to SFIV than it was from SF2 to SF3. Even if you never played SF2, this game pretty much guides you through what you need to learn.

I definitely recommend picking it up.

Plus if you support SFIV Yoshinori Ono said that he'll consider Darkstalkers IV, so do it. Buy the game so that we can get a sequel to the real greatest Capcom fighter. :laugh:
 
Ah your right. It's back to out of stock status.
Guess I picked one up in time. ;)
 
Curse you! :p

Those HRAPS are one of the best sticks you can get. There's a special edition that Amazon.jp used to sell, the HRAP3 SA (special addition) that had Sanwa buttons in addition to the Sanwa stick. That one's harder to come by and more expensive, but it's real nice.

Only thing I don't quite like about the HRAPS are the way the buttons are splayed. To me, it's more suited for Tekken or Soul Calibur.

I was at Wal-Mart picking up a few things here and there. They didn't have SF4...I was sad.
 
Hey, when you have diarrhea, you'd rather spend 5 minutes driving to Wal-Mart instead of driving 30 minutes to the nearest ma and pa shop.

Lucky for me, it was a slow day so we were in and out in another 5 min. 15 minutes there and back ftw.
 
Warbie wins.


Pitz, you're not likely to find it at Wal-Mart. If you just want the regular version of SFIV your local gamestore probably has some copies in. If you want the collector's edition...be prepared to call around.

A lot.

To every store within a two-to-three hour drive.
 
**** collectors editions. I just wanna play the game. I don't wanna go fanboy on it :p
 
I've had enough of people quitting on me just when Im about to win, anyone else having this problem?
 
More than a few times. Simply take comfort in how lame they are.

There is no more telling a victory than forcing a rage quit.
 
Indeed, what happens when they quite a Ranked Match? Do you still get some Battle Points? Also I think we should list our gametags/psn ids so we can play with each other
 
Fighting games piss me off more than any other game. I think mainly because I suck at them. Today I almost took the game out and snapped it in half. The people playing SF IV online are usually ridiculously good. I have no clue how I have a 40% winning percentage.
 
Tomorrow is when my rental is done. I don't think I'll plan on buying it. Without other people around who are as interested in it as you, it's hard for me to justify a purchase.
 
Hell, I refuse to play this game any longer with analog stick. I need my fight stick...
 
For SERIOUSZ.

If you get a Mad Catz one though, like I said, $25 Sanwa stick replacement.




Goddamn I'm so tired right now I just want to go to sleep, but I've got Round 2 of the Gamestop Nationals on Saturday. It's my friend's birthday tomorrow too, so I'll be getting some playtime in, but it won't be as much practice as I could be getting not fighting those fools. I already know all their shit.

I want to sleep right now but I'm awake watching tourney vids in one tab, SRK in another tab, Event Hub's frame data pages open in two other tabs, and I'm thinking like, "I've gotta just learn to smash people with Abel's f.MK strings before Saturday."

Want to sleep but I gotta do work, son. DO WORK.

Abel is my second main guy after Ken. I wanna learn him inside out and so make him my main guy, Im getting way too bored of playing Ken v Ryu on LIVE all the time

Hey Darkside55, what you think of the HORI fightsticks? I was gonna get a Mad Kats Pad but they are more expensive that the HORIs

They're good sticks. But they're expensive now; all sticks and stick parts are in high demand for SFIV. A Hori Real Arcade Pro is going to run you probably at least $180. Unless you're Asus and magically get one for $100. :laugh:


And Abel's a great character. I don't know why, really, but for some reason--even before knowing about him and his moveset--he stuck out to me in the previews. And I said to myself, "That's my main. That guy is my main."

And I was telling people that, and one of my friends said, "Provided you actually end up liking him."

It took a single round to know that I was right. Within two, three matches, it was like me and Abel had been best friends forever. He's so unlike any character I've played before, being a grappler, but I just mesh with him. Now I'm throwing people all over the place.

But I want to work on my combos. Right now my Abel is really about poking and grabbing, but Abel's the kind of character where you can rush and get your opponent scared that every move he's going to make is going to result in being combo'd or thrown. Push them into a corner and just dominate them.

Make sure you go through the challenge mode when you start off with Abel, and really work those combos they give you. You won't be learning it for the combos themselves at first, you'll be learning it for the timing. Once you get the timing in for things like f.MK > s.HP > Change of Direction, it's over. You can do so much. You'll be sitting there in challenge mode thinking, "I bet this works. I bet I can do this if I time it right."

And you'll be surprised what he can do. Everything he does is like combo madness.

And if you can't combo your opponent, get right up in their face and throw 'em. When in doubt, throw it out.
