Street Fighter 4?

This game is still missing Karin.

I'd probably agree with you if I werent hoping for Q.

There's also been rumors of Poison being added to the roster as well... THAT, I'd like to see.

Many are rooting more for Hugo and Alex.
Elena is another choice. They left out the poor black girl.

said to be 6 new characters btw. So yun and yang.

4 more slots.

I still think it's gonna be Alex,Hugo,Elena,R.mika..just going on how verbal the fans are for those chars.

well Elena is a good char, but knowing capcom, they would add sean...

My guess for the 4 other characters are R.Mika, Rolento, Alex, and Elena.

R.Mika and Rolento are probably in there for sure because Ono wants them to be in it.

Alex should be in Super to bridge the SSFIV and the SFIII time lines, and Elena because a lot of SFIII fans would like to have her.

I really want to see Karin though. She's been shafted so many times now and it's been so long since we have seen her in an SF franchise. IIRC her last game was in either in the NamcoXCapcom or Capcom Fighting Evolution (A.K.A Capcom Fighting Jam). NamcoXCapcom wasn't released state-side (but there are translated versions of the game) and Capcom Fighting Evolution didn't fair well because of media's weak reviews for the game.

Karin needs to be back into the fray once again and prove that "Kanzuki Household Saying - In all things, be victorious!"

ONLY FOR JURI.
ONLY FOR JURI.

Some high-res pics of the new DLC costumes.

Yay for Sakura in a sundress! She looks so kawaii~!

Sakura <33333

I've uploaded a few matches that I have on YouTube, please, any constructive criticism is fine, thanks.

would need to see more videos..right of the bat I'd say weak rush skill , bad blocking ,and bad timing with force attacks.You could have easily won both those matches by a much larger margin. Just practice with her and maybe visit the SRK forum to get a good list of her more adv. combos.

So like, just brought myself SSf4 yesterday. The game seems cool and all but, i get this constant feeling that players who use arcade sticks, have some kind of advantage over controller users like me. Out of 37 online matches i won only 2.....

If anyone would like to *tutor* me on how to play *this is my first street fighter game ever, until now i was all about Guilty Gear* I am FREE for All.

Or rather....i beg you guys to add me on PSN>pozertron and spar*teach* with me.

NOTE: I'm total noob in here and i use Juri 95% of my playtime *since i don't like to abuse projectiles and use oldschool characters*

Typically, unless the pad player is really really good like shizza or vangief, then yeah, you're right. The game was designed to play on stick, though it's entirely possible to play on pad



I'm sorry, but if you don't like "spamming" projectiles, you shouldn't be playing Juri, seeing as her spacing game due to her projectile is one of her strongest points. Also, if you plan on playing Street Fighter, it's best that you drop that "lol spam" mentality, fast.

http://shoryuken.com/f322/basic-video-tutorial-guide-total-beginners-ssf4-234560/ - Great thread and video series if you're completely lost.

http://shoryuken.com/f322/srk-newbie-saikyo-dojo-execution-guide-read-me-234169/ - Also excellent to read through.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1FNQreVzXko - Excellent Juri tutorial, but I highly suggest you read through the other two threads, watch some matches, and practice a bit to learn the terminology and game flow.

I am positive about my Controller....skills because i basically grew up with a gamepad in hand. I never played on arcades in all my life so i can't understand this pleasure of playing on arcade stick.

I will definitely look into those guides, otherwise it just gets more frustrating when i keep losing, considering that i'm not really a noob in fighting games *At least not in GG and Soul Calibur*

As for playing on pad, in my own opinion, Juri is pretty easy to learn and play on pad. The only problem I see when playing Juri on Pad is stocking her fireballs. Some of her more damaging combos comes from Ultra 1, stocked fireballs and at least 2 bars of meter (to FADC).

SSFIV, and in all respects, all fighting games, were made to be played on an arcade stick. Even though fighting games work well also on Pad, arcade sticks are still more widely used in fighting games. One of the advantages playing on Stick is Plinking and Pianoing In SSFIV. Even though it is possible to do these techniques on Pad, it is way easier to do on stick.

In respect in transferring from GG and SC to SF :

GG has WAY more mechanics than SSFIV, thus it feels like you are dumbing down your game. SSFIV in respect though, has more 'footies' than that of GG. GG is more offensive while SF is more on the tactical and patience side (but in my opinion, they need negative penalties in SF.)

SC is a 3D fighter and it's hard from 3D fighters to 2D ones like SF. Again, the core mechanics of SC is different than SF. SC has Horizontal, Vertical, Kick, and Guard, while SF has Light, Medium, and Heavy attacks for both Kicks and Punches, and block is done by not holding down a button, but holding back.

horrible idea.

guard break such as CVS2 or A3 is a better idea, really.

it is also worth noting that if you're coming from guilty gear, all of these general concepts in SF exist in GG, but are simply taken to extremes.

Got all guides covered, so much information that i doubt it's possible to cover all that in 1 go. Frames.....option select....crossups.I still need to learn all that and use in real time.

Unless you're going to go to tournaments to play in a lot of it isn't needed. Although I suggest starting with crossups and working your way up from the easier to get things to the harder stuff like Frame data. Of course I'm bad with stuff like that and I tend to not memorize stuff like frame data cause I don't need it to beat my brothers. XD

Tournaments are played on arcades so it's obviously not an option for me lol. But simple online fun is good enough.

The only major arcade tournament left pretty much is SBO, everythings on console nowadays actually.

Ill probably hop on psn or xbl for some ssfiv/bbcs when I get off work later. Been a while since I sessioned with you folks :o
