  1. I don't remember...

    Really? Massive post whore... never really had anything to say... every time he posted anything you weren't far behind telling him to get a life and stop wasting his time posting for the sake of post count?

    His avatar was that character from .hack, the blue-haired guy.

  2. I'll have to give that a shot. It seems like anytime I budge against a turtling character my moves get stuffed very quickly. This is especially true with Sagat. I feel like I'm better off stepping back and waiting for them to make a mistake.

    That is a good main strategy, but sometimes you have to mix it up to keep your opponent on your toes. I'll send you a request/invite sometime today if you wanna play. We can analyze your game if you want (or just play for fun, whatever)

  3. Phth: You're right about crossing up, unfortunately I haven't quite learned the proper range/timing for doing that in SF4.

    This is the most frustrating thing about Fei in SF4. He CAN'T pressure much. What can he do to a character who is crouching? Nothing. He has no overhead except his forward MK which has fairly weak priority and is slow. In earlier iterations you could use chicken wing, an overhead, but they took away that property. So his rushdown game is kind of gone.

    A few low jabs or light kicks can set him up for a tick throw.

  4. I'm really having trouble with some matchups. A big part of it is online play (harder to block in a timely manner) and because I don't have a stick... but still.

    Here's one:

    What do you do about a Bison that does tons of scissor kicks, 3x lp chains, and crossups?

    1. You need to punish his jump-ins with flame kick

    2. You need to cross him up when he wakes up. This serves two purpose: 1) it resets his charge if he's holding one, and 2) Bison doesn't really have a good anti-air wakeup move, so it's pretty safe.

    3. You need to keep the pressure on with more low poke strings and whatnot. There were times when you had the upper hand but let off the pressure and Bison re-took control of the match. Fei is a pressure character with lots of mix-ups; use them.

    4. Punish blocked psycho crushers with grabs or rekka-ken (or EX rekka-ken if you have meter).

  5. You're telling me to try different characters, but then you recommend Shotos?

    Sorry, but I try to avoid the traditional Shotos when I play Street Fighter. I can play Ryu, Ken, and Akuma just fine. I have no problem playing shotos. Everyone can play shotos. I always try to get away from that. That's why I play Gouken; he's very different.

    And really, try playing charge characters with a thumbstick or d-pad. It's not easy. I'm sure it's much better with a joystick, but I can't get one.

    I recommend giving Rose a try. I use her as my main because a lot of her combos are very familiar coming from someone who knows how to play shotos, but her normals give her a very different set of tools and her ultra is anti-air.

    Or get good with Dhalsim. There are some amazing Dhalsim players out there. He's all about the normals and ineffectualizing opponents through distance games.

    Check this out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hy9g3D_tZ-M

    Ryu can't do anything. He's stuck. I mean, the guy playing Dhalsim basically invalidated his entire game. And the Zangief match... that's just masterful zoning right there.

  6. Loved it. Some really great cinematography. Missing a couple minor things that were some of my more important moments in the book, but not a big deal. New ending plot device actually works better in the context of the story, IMO.

  7. Holy shit all this name dropping, it's like 6 years ago in here.

    xSR388x left after her indecent exposure incident.

    She came back a couple times after that, too. If you'll remember, I was none too kind to her. Probably didn't help her woeful lack of self-esteem, but eh, I was a cruel bitch then. I like to imagine she probably got knocked up by someone who left her.

    EDIT- Yeah, GrayLightning was fucking awesome. Always up for a conversation online. Shame he dropped off the face of the Earth. Him and a girlfriend I had in high school are the only people I've ever known in any capacity that have ever done that, to the point where you can't even get in contact with them anymore.

  8. so, i looked through my collection, and besides having played a bit of bioshock, haloz, gta 4, assassin's creed, and mass effect...i haven't played anything else made specifically for 360.

    WHATS YOUR MUST-PLAY GAME that's not in the genre of one-v-one fighting (like soul calibur or something)?

  9. Played this today. Can't wait to dive in. It's got the PS1 anime scenes, and the bottom screen during gameplay is now a map (with a parchment paper effect). The other change is the menu, which is laid out in icons around the border of the touch screen.
