I JUST lost to one five minutes ago. Completely unavoidable when you're M.Bison and every move you try gets stuffed on a laggy masher.

Bison eh? In that case, you'd have to deal with my jumping headbutt spam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassanova Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 lol That's far less of an issue than getting camped by lariat. Gief drives me insane, though. It doesn't matter if you're brain dead or god's gift, I still have to work overtime to not get demolished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jam Stunna Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 What about spamming high kick? Bison's is pretty similar to Chun Lis, and if I time it right I can hit them right at the end of it pretty safely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassanova Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 If the Gief is rocking lariat spam I just devil's reverse spam right back. It keeps me safe, does the same amount of damage as a roundhouse and generates meter regardless of it I hit the guy or not. You gotta be 100% attentive even if the guy is a simpleton. One botched advance and you end up eating SPD off a whiff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broken Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Yo, Sologamer, have you done Zangief's ultra as a counter to akuma's raging demon ultra before? It's the coolest thing to listen to. Akuma: "Prepare Yourself!" Zangief: "FOR MOTHER RUSSIA" And then akuma gets hit by a massive spd, lol. My friend was so positive that you couldn't do this, but we tested it out pretty thoroughly in training mode. I haven't been as lucky with countering akuma's regular raging demon, though.

Jam Stunna Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 It's good to know that another ultra can counter that. I was thinking of trying to counter it with Chun's just for the hell of it. Anyone here play Championship mode? I love it, and I play it all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's awesome. Didn't realize that was possible. I usually trigger Akuma's ultra by jumping over their fireballs, which I respond to by mashing HP. I'll keep that in mind, after some practice in training mode. Anyone here play Championship mode? I love it, and I play it all the time. It's the only mode I play. Currently sitting on about 5k GP. I usually lose in the first or second match, so I'll probably be there for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BardicKnowledge Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 I'm still playing a decent Chun on the 360 -- find me on IRC if you want to play me (or send me an invite when I'm dicking around w/ Bionic Commando). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm getting close to 6,000 GP, but I've had a bad run the last few days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassanova Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Everyone in Championship Mode that I've played runs away and plays like a bitch. I'm at 13K and they still do it. I plug in my 360 to play SF4 not tag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I plug in my 360 to play SF4 not tag. I absolutely hate that. I am around 3k for this reason. G2 is all about turtle ryus, spammy zangiefs, and really shitty sagats.

DiggiDis Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Man .. As soon as I came in the G2 section .. I knew the fun would dissappear. I still don't understand people playing Guile called me a corner sitting Ken. Bastards. I'm all up in your face while these so called 'pro' charge character assholes do nothing but sit in the corner waiting for you to attack. I'd play a Ryu, Ken or Akuma anytime over these people. Let alone stand the Bison Jump on your Neck > Slash down > Slide > press repeat. Now that's skill. AssJeebs. If they would play guitar with the other hand while doing those moves maybe. Snaps.

Jam Stunna Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 I don't mind the gayness, because that's inevitable. What I do mind is people who rely on lag. I played an Akuma that got a perfect on me by doing nothing but throwing fireballs because the lag was SOOOOOO bad. I always avoid people with less than two bars, but this guy had two bars and it was still unbearable. I swear, some people have a switch at their house to lag when they want to. It's the only way to explain it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassanova Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Less than three bars is far safer. 2 bars is asking for murder. Even with three bars links are a pain to get off, especially if you got someone mashing on the other end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arek the Absolute Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 cassanova, we should do some friendlies later Also, last three game today in a g2 tourny earlier: First game - Akuma air fireball spam -> teleport to other side of the screen. That is all he did. 14k player and that is what he did. Jeez Second game - Ryu What a fucking turtle. Was the most annoying shit I have ever played against. Didn't advance to me a single time Third game - Sagat tiger tiger tiger tiger lagspike tiger tiger tiger lagspike ti spike ger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassanova Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 I'm down for some friendlies. I need the practice against chun big time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Mighty Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 i finally got back into the game after being gone for a month. i went from 1500 to 900. What is really annoying are most of the matches i lost i should have won. I either did a "Canon Spike" instead or a "drill" or fucked doing something else that set me up for an Ultra or something else that cost me the match. Also i forgot how unbalanced Ultras are. Cammys Ultra does not do as much damage as Kens. Kens is retarded. So is Akumas, its basically half your bar. I still hate Sagat players the most. I did a championship mode and lost in the finals. Then i went back and got my rank back up to 1200. It was a fustrating/fun experience. Which is pretty much what SF is about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassanova Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Ken's ultra has to hit point blank and Akuma's is pretty much avoidable unless someone skilled is using Akuma. You can combo Cammy's ultra into a grip of situations and has range. However you are playing a low stamina character so I can't really compare damage.

You can combo Cammy's ultra into a grip of situations and has range. However you are playing a low stamina character so I can't really compare damage. None of the console exclusive characters (except Gouken, and Gen's AA ultra) will do their entire Ultra animation off of a mid-air connection. This hurts both Fei and Cammy a ton, as they are only getting fractions of what a full ultra would do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassanova Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Cammy's ultra is front loaded anyways. The last hit is practically superficial. It's far more beneficial to combo her ultra than it would be to save it for full effect. Fei's damage comes off of the third(or fourth, not sure) rekka, his ultra being most damaging in the final part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zircon Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Right, but the problem with Fei is that you can't GET those unless you set up with a focus first. There's literally no way to set up the ultra otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkeSword Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 https://www.sumthingdigital.com/AlbumDetails.aspx?albumid=4137 A domestic release for the Street Fighter IV OST is available for purchase. It's a 2-disc set for only $10; an absolute bargain. If you like SF4's music, make sure you purchase it and support domestic soundtrack releases.
