Street Fighter 4?

If anyone wants to get on PSN or XBL, I'll be on in a short while.

If you use a pad, charge moves tend to be a little tougher from many people's experiences. However, you should stick to what you are most comfortable with. Don't listen to anyone that tells you that you should play on a stick. Wolfkrone, one of the best players in the World plays on pad and plays on it well.

If you are just starting out on Street Fighter, most people say you should play Ryu or Cody because you learn fundamentals with those characters. They have no tricks and you just have to play a solid game to win with them.


I have not touched this game since Super, although I played a little bit of AE in the arcades. I might pick this up again though... I mostly use Guile if anyone is wondering. I'm very bad at this game though.

I play from time to time if I really get bored. not to great at it but whetevers.
I always main Ken, even if im bad with him hes the only one im good with and know most of his moves.

Don't forget Vangeif. He plays Zangeif on a pad and is on the same level as Wolfkhrone with the major performance difference coming down to character selection.

I advise against Cody as a starting character and suggest Ryu or Ken instead. I won't stop someone from picking up Cody though. His Pro's and Con's are below for those who are interested.

Pro's
+ Deadly firepower, can stun quickly.
+ Great normal anti-airs.
+ Far-reaching punish game.
+ Easy combos into damaging Ultra 1.
+ Projectiles have very fast recovery.
+ Incredible range and damage on his overhead attack.
+ Large amounts of frame advantage on all normal moves.

Con's
- Extremely limited options on wakeup and against pressure.
- Very slow walk speed.
- Short range on backdash.
- Projectile can't win fireball wars.
- Tough time chipping opponents safely.

This game is never fun once it turns into a projectile war. I see some people online do this allot and the CPU does it too on the hardest difficulty. Dan is no match for it. I like him.

Edit:

The multiplayer, it kinda piss's me off. I lost all the matches i played so far. People just spam long combos that are defenseless against. I played somebody using Guile and all this guy did was spam "Sonic Booms" and "Flash kicks". I was far so he used sonic booms and then if i tried to get close he did flash kicks on me. God damn it..

Ryu/Evil Ryu/Akuma/Ken

Do upper cuts, spinning kicks , and firballs.

Whats with the multiplayer match making too? I put i want somebody as the same skill as me and i get matched with someone who is a way higher rank then me. I never was good at street fighter to begin with. I was always a Mortal Kombat guy.
I keeping this game though, i do enjoy seeing chicken legs Chun-li, MILF C-viper, and school girl Sakura. Hey i got it for 20USD at gamestop.

Yeah, that's the problem with playing random people online as you get a lot of spammers. Hokuto can vouch that I would rage when I played a spammer. Also, that's all guile does, is spam sonic boom and flash kick, those are his only two specials.



That's the gameplay for shoto's. Spam fireballs, uppercut anyone who gets close. Learn to FADC those fireballs or use one of the various moves that are designed to get past a fireball. Hasan Shu is a good example for Chun-li, crouching medium kick for Cody, yoga tower for Dhalsim. Fei long's Rekkukyaku a.k.a. "chicken wing".

2012 update should be out soon >_> On the 13th I think right? Really can't wait, I use Cammy!

Anyone enjoying the 2012 update? As of right now, I'm kinda enjoying it, but still not as much as enjoying other fighters at the moment.

I got Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition is anyone wants to play. I suck though. I suck at all fighting games with the exception of Soulcalibur. But my friend says it's almost therapeutic to kick my ass over and over. Also, if you're an achievement whore, like me, than I can help you with those too.

Yesterday, I spent about 40 minutes playing 1-round ranked matches as Dan and just running away because of how hilarious it looks. I couldn't stop laughing even though I lost every match.

I like Dan too. He is the first person i beat arcade with. He is the only fun character in the series. I also found out that Dan is a joke character which makes fun of SNK's ryo sakazaki and Robert Garcia because they literally copied Ryu and Ken.

The history of Dan Hibiki

Wow. That's an impressive write-up of his history. Very detailed.
I love Dan. I'm determined to strike down an A ranked player online with him.

I try with him allot online, i win rounds but never matches. Being that he is very weak, he can't win projectile wars. Curse those who resort to spamming...

Yeah. I hate those people too. Especially the people who use the flow-chart with Ken. When that happens I usually just jump-kick and sweep. It's amazing how effective it is on people who have no idea what that is.

Anyone playing on the PC?
