S'okay. I totally suck. Next time we fight I'm going to try Ken/Ryu/Faggotry against you. I'm okay with them. I'm trying to learn Rose/C. Viper but it's not going very well.

So Mox and I played, and then I had to leave briefly (wife had to quit the job she just found, freak-out occurs days later at like midnight; why does this stuff always have to happen right when I sit down to play games?

) and came back for more fightin'. Quite intense; the final tally was 12-10 me (or 12-11 if you wanna count the match I had to leave in); I quit while I was ahead mayne.

Most of our matches were neck and neck and I love playing in bouts like this, so heated and you really gotta work to get that final victory. Mox got my Cammy with his Boxer every time, too. :'(

I swear you're the only Rufus player I get to play. Can't even remember the last time I came across a Rufus in ranked or player matches on either system. But then again 99% of every match is always Shoto and Sagat with the occasional Blanka, Gief, and Gouken for me.

Do we have enough people here on either platform to have an Evilbore tourney? I dunno if we got enough PS3 players. Also how about an ALL-DAN tournament, minimum 10 taunts required in every round?

Enl · « **Reply #852 on:** March 30, 2009, 04:15:56 AM »

I'd be up for an EB tourney.

Hopefully they have the servers fixed by now to where I can finally get a match with you Lyte. I'd like to test your Chun-li out against mine and see what kind of tricks you use.

NME · « **Reply #853 on:** March 30, 2009, 08:03:10 AM »

Well, I finally got the game (360), so I'm all for doing a tourney. Understand though that nuanced playing is not my forte.

I've got no idea when I'm supposed to focus attack, I've never dashed afterward, and I have no idea how to cancel out of a combo into a super, or if that's even the right series of words to make any sense.

But, I do enjoy playing the game, so I'm all for the idea of a tournament.

archie4208 · « **Reply #854 on:** March 30, 2009, 09:29:01 AM »

An all Dan tournament sounds like a good idea

Beezy · « **Reply #855 on:** March 30, 2009, 09:57:12 AM »

I'd do a tourney (360). Dictator is my main, trying to learn Boxer and Sakura.

I hope none of you are counterpickers. That shit ruined the tourney at my school a week ago.

MoxManiac · « **Reply #857 on:** March 30, 2009, 11:45:01 PM »

Yeah, good games lyte. Even if it did make work the next day rough due to being up late

Looks like the matchmaking finally works for me if i'm patient enough with custom match filters. I've been using arcade mode to find people and the filters don't work there at all. I've been stuck perpetually at 3500 bp or so because each win was giving me +1 and each loss was like -999999. Now that the filter is working in custom match i seem to be getting 4000+ people consistently and for the most part they play pretty well. And very few disconnectors, which suprises me.

I ran into this fuerte player i literally couldn't touch. It's like he was able to read my mind every single moment, and his execution was flawless. I need to find that guy again!

Fuck counterpickers. If we do a tourney, it's just like the GAF one-- you have sign up and say who you will use (either just one character or a choice of two) for the entire tourney.

Well, then we should probably do two characters, a main and an alt. Would be more fun that way anyhow; get beat down with one character, and you might still have a fighting chance with the other.

I think I can get a couple of people from elsewhere to enter the tourney too. At least for 360.

Here's my total playtime in SF4 on both 360 and PS3 so far.

Total of 134 hours, 46 minutes and 1,171 out 1,516 total matches won. Highest BP level so far is 3268. I think I have more Cammy usage on 360 and more Chun-Li usage on PS3.

So, if you don't have the game for 360, well, that'd be a problem, wouldn't it?

I'd be down for a PS3 tournament. Once the price drops, I'd be down for a 360 one as well. I think this is the most fun I've had with a fighter since the DC Soul Calibur.

Fought a seth player for the first time in this game online on ranked, seth must really suck, because this player had over 4000 bp and played seth pretty good, but i surprisingly beat him in the end?

bork · « **Reply #876 on:** March 31, 2009, 10:51:24 PM »

Seth isn't the strongest character, but if you know how to use him, you can really whip some ass. The one Seth I played in ranked dropped on me when I was going to win. $:-\$

drohne · « **Reply #877 on:** April 01, 2009, 01:11:27 AM »

seth has really low hp and doesn't hit very hard, but he can just zone some characters all fucking day, and his ultra and super catch jumps from full screen. i've seen a couple decent ones in player matches

I hit 5000 bp tonight. I'm really, really shocked i'm not running into disconnectors. Finished the night off against a good bison that went to 5th round, he narrowly beat me.

Robo · « **Reply #882 on:** April 03, 2009, 01:54:25 AM »

I played a fantastic Honda with over 9,500 bp today. If he hadn't have been my very first match of the night, I think I could've taken the guy. Curiously made very little use of the command throw though, even when it suited him to do so - mostly just did a lot of butt drops and a cr.mp -> hundred hand slap combo/string that could eat a ton of bar with chip damage.

Arbys Roast Beef Sandwich · « **Reply #883 on:** April 03, 2009, 09:07:38 PM »

Anybody playing the PS3 issue having the same issue as I am?

Seems right after the 2.70 update SFIV's framerate dipped to like sub-20fps throughout, even on the menu screens. It's really weird but I'm not sure if it's because of the update.

Honda players: do I suck or is this pretty tough to do consistently? I am beginning to suspect that he may have been using turbo, but with a bp score that high, he might be just that good.

The 360-exclusive functionality allows players to download replays from a replay list to their harddisk or memory card for viewing even when not connected online. The Key Display functionality allows players to display key press information, which can be combined with slow motion replay functionality to study the timing of top players.

That's actually pretty damn awesome.

Are details given about the championship mode at least? It would be nice if you could at least do player tournies and invite people on your friends list.

At least on 360 you can just do a party and invite each back and forth, and now with the chat system on PSN you can do the same.

Ugh, anyhow, I came here to actually ask something (very very noobish and late). It's a bit embarrassing but what the hell.

In all the years I've played SF I've never used charge characters. I've never been able to pull the moves off naturally in a real fight (in-game real fight). I'm always wasting time standing there, waiting for the special move to charge. That's why I never understood the fascination and popularity of characters like Guile and Chun Li.

Now I know that most players tend to input the charge while doing something else (right?) but I can't seem to do it myself $:-\$ . So if someone, who's a Chun Li or Guile expert, can explain how I'd appreciate it.

(How ironic is it that I'm asking this around the same time Capcom announced that PS3 users won't get key inputs in replays? lol)

There's really nothing to explain in-depth. You just have to get used to charging (which can be done when crouching or jumping too) back/down constantly, and it will get more natural for you. Practice! If you're having trouble getting the moves to come out, maybe you're just not charging long enough? Count out loud "one one thousand, two one thousand" and then hit forward/up and the attack button.

bork · « **Reply #892 on:** April 22, 2009, 02:19:50 AM »

So I just had a fun little PSN message session with a 6000+ BP Ryu player that I gave a sound thrashing to. He beat me the first round, but it was only because of some awful, awful lag. It disappeared in second, and he went down like any flowchart player would; my guess is he's one of those BP cheaters making his way through the ranks, because there's no way someone with that much BP should suck that hard.

I don't know why, but "lol i dont mad over nooby wins" made me laugh so hard. It's like he made up a new meme or something.

Some things just never change. If there's one thing dey hatin', dey hatin' on, it's throws and taunts. Taunts alone seem to be a huge reason for player disconnects.

Did some player matches last night against a scrub player who bored me so much I switched to Dan to go against his flowchart Ken. Even just jumping around kicking randomly and taunting, I still beat him every time.
