Going from losing all the time to being able to challenge your friends to best out of 5 and coming close to winning in half a year feels amazing. Sticking with it, through the trials and all the losses feels amazing. Being able to handle someone who has clocked over 1000 hours feels amazing. Being able to pick up a character and knowing what to do despite never playing them because you've fought so many of them and seen so many of them at the pro level feels amazing. Getting a feel for what type of characters you excel at feels amazing.

I've fought with fb characters my whole life. Turns out more technical characters fit me more.

I won't be satisfied until I beat Lyte Edge. But he's so robotic in his play style. I want to crack his strategy open. Wish I saved some replays.

I'll have to check. Played about 30 hours of PS3 Ultra, 115 of steam version, 6 hours of ps4 version. A month ago it was 1000 fights. Has to be about 1400 fights now because I've played 60 hours in one month but started training in the lab more. So I fought less.

My goal is to at least have 300 hours clocked before SFV. Of course, hours played doesn't progress or that you're even learning anything. But I think if I stay the current course, I'll be more than ready for SFV.

Playing games like SSF2T and Garou help too. Even if Super Turbo is kinda a MESS. What's interesting is what they say is true too. Skills are transferable between fighting games. Play ST to get a better footsies game. Play KOF if you want to learn to be more aggressive.

I didn't get really deep into SF4 until last year. I'm at around 3,500-4000 matches now. There are tons of players on Xbox 360 that have 15,000-40,000 matches. Those first 2000 matches were rough on 360, since most players left have been playing the game for four or five+ years.

Skill transferring is true based on the pacing and tempo of the fighter. Street Fighter + KoF + Garou is a good combination. KoF is the biggest outlier, a lot less gimmicks versus Street Fighter. Garou is what Street Fighter 3 should've been. After fucking with Third Strike more, the spacing and footsie game is neutered compared to most other 2D fighters.

Normals barely do any damage in Third Strike, the range of fighting is tiny. Terrible balance when it comes to the character cast. Garou is a much better fighter than Third Strike.

Marvel 2/3, Guilty Gear, and other Arksys fighters are good to be paired together.

3D fighters play drastically different amongst themselves. Its more about learning all you can about that one game.
OH!

Be careful here, because if you get too into SF4, it may affect your SFV game, since there are going to be some big differences.  A friend of mine has been saying "I'll start playing Ultra a month before SFV to get ready!" and fails to understand why this is kind of a bad idea in some ways.

Sure-- You have some people in the FGC acting like you need a degree to play fighting games, but the truth is that a lot of these games are much easier to get into and pick up and play than people make them out to be.  Obviously spending large amounts of time and dedicating yourself to one or two titles in particular means that you will learn more advanced techniques, but really...if you can play Street Fighter, you can play 95% of all the other fighting games out there.

Telling the truth. It's a tough road, and I'm all the better for it as a player. I feel really bad for the players not playing anything now who are just waiting for SFV. They will have the comfort of scrubs. For a while. And it will take them a long time to learn fundamentals if they didn't with IV, and V is a fundamental heavy game. The time to play SF and get good is now, and the past year.

SF + Garou + KOF is the perfect combo. You see basic layers of depth. About a month ago, before these games really clicked, I played Garou on fight cade and had no idea what to do. Now that I've been through the fire and paid my dues and understand what makes a 2d fighter click, I played Garou on Fightcade on Tuesday night and handled myself against Vets despite not knowing the characters besides terry and rock, because skill transferring is a real thing. Learn SF, you learn all other fighters. It's interesting too, because Garou is pretty fucking simple compared to SF and KOF but has a lot mechanical quirks that give it its own flavor. KOF however, you'll get wrecked completely. That game is on another level of complexity due to the offensive nature.

Quote
Garou is what Street Fighter 3 should've been. After fucking with Third Strike more, the spacing and footsie game is neutered compared to most other 2D fighters.

It's 9 in the morning and punched the air and said FUCK YES, FINALLY. TELL THEM! after reading that line. I've been playing mostly nothing but 2d fighters the past six months. I've gotten a good degree of the fundamentals. SF3 is the worst 2d fighter I've played in that time. Nothing that makes 2d fighting so great works in that game. Nothing that makes Street Fighter "Street Fighter" works in that game. I went from really liking it in 2005, as a novice casual, to thinking it's not even a good 2d fighter. It's a 3d fighter in 2d space. And now I know why it didn't make a dent with the populace beyond the fact it didn't drop on Playstation system until 2005.

Garou being what 3S should of been is so true. Take what made Fatal Fury amazing. Give it new characters who still look like iconic Fatal Fury characters. Good balance too, unlike 3S.

Quote
Normals barely do any damage in Third Strike, the range of fighting is tiny. Terrible balance when it comes to the character cast. Garou is a much better fighter than Third Strike.

3S is like fighting in a closet. What makes SF and 2d fighters fascinating to me isn't in the game at all, and that's zoning. 3S fans say that the games zoning is "subtle" but naw.

3d fighters aren't tooooo different. The footsies aren't different at all. It's the pacing that's the difference, but controlling the spacing is as much a necessity in Tekken as it is in SF. You see players doing footsies to catch you in a single combo string a lot. Footsies matter a lot in that game.

I used to say that it took Capcom "three strikes" to get it right but SNK did it right out of the gate with Garou.  :pimp

The Real Bout games are no slouches, either.  In fact I prefer Real Bout Special and Real Bout 2 to Garou.

Don't worry. I'm very aware. That's why I'm playing multiple fighters now to learn that different games have different rules. In ST, you HAVE no backdash so you can't rely on backdash invincibility. This is allowing me to adjust and not rely on it in SFIV, so that when SFV drops I am cognizant that focus and back dash and hard knocks downs won't be as crucial to defensive strategy as much as good old solid blocking.

Yup. Playing different games helps at different skills too. Play high level players in ST and you will be forced to learn to know how to adapt mid fight so you don't lose because fights can be ended in literally five seconds otherwise and that's just one example.

No I didn't. But I've changed characters and I'm a much better player than even the last time we played - about two weeks ago. I think I can take a round off you now. One step at a time.

Anymore just ST and HF online, and a little CVS2 with locals. Been losing interest in SF4 for a few months now, but lately my enthusiasm for that game and fighters in general has taken a nosedive. Theoretically (lolusps) my Naomi parts should come tonight and I'll get back into playing CVS2 this week during weeklies.

A lack of interest doesn't bother me too much now though. Plenty of other games to keep me busy until February.

One of my fave things about the genre is theory crafting and self improvement. As well as observation of differences between players' origins. What separates an American player from a Japanese player for instance?

In this BB thread on dust loop they're talking about the difference between jp and western fighting game player development. Japanese players have a lot more resources. They have tier arcades for example. If you're a beginner you go to the beginner arcade, intermediate go to the intermediate arcade, likewise for advanced. In Japan, they mentor each other and exchange tips. They also have better net play. Plus the country is small enough to always be able to travel to get a new experience. In America we are spread out, arcades are dead, our internet is shit. So we don't have that structure they've got. So we have to learn through intense self criticism. It's really interesting.

I suggest clicking the link to read the entire post.

Quote
The issue is that there is just no way around having to be very critical of your play, moreso than the players who end up at jp midlevel. You can't get around the fact that you need to really learn how to teach yourself in order to grow, and thats one of the major differences between here and jp. A lot of them are kind of "inducted" into playing the game relatively well, just because they have an accessible venue for good play. While this is really helpful for growing easily, the fact of the matter is that we don't have an environment with accessible good play.

And yeah, maybe there is a bit of talent behind it but it isn't like having the environment is make or break, as a handful of us can go pretty toe to toe with japan. Honestly, the kind of thinking that I am trying to highlight as vital to improve our midlevel is pretty much what every truly strong player, us OR japan has done.

 

Allow me to quote myself a couple of times:

"Most of our strong players already have ideas of how the game is supposed to be played, they had the right exposure, maybe they were critical enough to get to that point without as much exposure even if they did come from netplay...

the reality of our "accessible" environment for midlevel players is that you have to push yourself through midlevel to high level understanding on your own.

You don't have the environment to SHOW you the right things unless you happen to live in a nice place."

Morma, have you seen this? Required viewing.



Unlike other FGC threads on the net, I want this thread to be less about streaming and the personalities and more about how we can all get fundamentals to grow as players. So I'm going to be posting a lot of youtube or reading resources on how to improve from time to time as well as strategies. As SFV comes out, we're gonna need it.

Arcades over there are dying too.  It's nowhere near what it used to be.  Last time I was over there in the summer, the places I hit up were empty and old haunts had fewer fighting games and shit pushed into a corner or in the back.  It was depressing.

Holy shit. They've thrown like 20 additional systems into this version of Guilty Gear. :lol I remember Faultless Defense, the Bursts (Gold/Blue), and roman cancel (full roman cancel being yellow here?). Now you have insta-block from Blazblue, late guard/advancing guard sort-of-dealie, along with a throw-break that isn't a throw-break mechanic that is "hit this at the VERY LAST POSSIBLE MOMENT" to reverse->reverse->reverse your opponent.

It's like "holy shit. When did Guilty Gear get so advanced beyond 'go forward to gain meter, don't turtle to avoid negative penalty, and try to wrap your head around roman cancels. Good luck'!"

Harada said those are the new default outfits, which is pretty cool. Bryan's looks badass! Liking Leo too.

Spent some time playing Nitroplus Blasterz over the weekend.  Definitely very solid and balance felt good.  It does seem like some of the assist characters are noticeably much better than others, though.  The most effect one for me is the girl from Gakkou Gurashi! (School-Live!), who runs across the screen and is followed by a bunch of zombies, who all run into your opponent.  You can keep attacking while this is happening, so if you have a zoning character, you can just go nuts and rack up a lot of damage from far away.

I tried out just about the whole roster and seemed to do the best with Homura (the Senran Kagura guest character-- she has all rushing attacks and you can follow them up with air chains), Ein (from Phantom Of The Inferno...makes for a good zoning character), and Al Azif, who apparently is a little loli character from some series called "Demonbane" where she is a living version of the Necromicon and what is this I don't even.  She has a few good long range gun attacks and can throw down a 'trap' that freezes opponents in place.  Muramasa is also fun to use -she uses a wire/whip that you can throw out to either propel yourself or bring enemies towards you- and Saya from Saya No Uta is crazy effective, and is from quite possibly the most disturbing game yet.  But hey, if you ever wanted to play as a Lovecraftian...thing...represented by a little girl...uh...now's your chance.   :doge

The most interesting character is Super Sonico.  This is character doesn't actually attack -at all- and instead has the little cats following her do her normals and her bandmates come in for her specials.  So it's kind of like if Rainbow Mika in SFV only had attacks where her partner comes in.  In fact, there's even similar moves-- you can have one character do a flying drop kick from the other side of the screen, BEHIND the opponent.  You can also have the little cats attack using X from across the screen.  There's also a Super Sonico assist character.  This version is the whole band playing a full song...they don't attack either, and instead music notes come out that give you attack, strength, life, etc. power-ups.  You can have two assist characters at once, so it's good to have this one in case someone is trying to zone you.  You can just hang back and power up like crazy.   :lol

I don't think there's a way to save replays in lobbies.  I just beat a guy by zoning him to death with Aino Heart's projectiles (they're her Arcana fireballs and a beam).  Dude kept just sitting there blocking and I chipped him to death in a full room.  I was rolling :rofl.  I think I pissed off the host because the next match, he tried to zone me right back.  :lol

Yeah, Asuka's old default looked nicer. Feng's muscle definition is kinda :doge as well.

Asuka needed a new default outfit already.  Although all of them still have their old ones and more, I'm sure.

I think Asuka looked great in the trailer. Maybe it's just the boob angle that's turning off. I definitely don't like girls.

Asuka looks cool here.
