Posted March 10, 2009 People, people, when will you learn? This is to be played on an arcade stick, fellas! That'd be nice. Sadly Amazon are a bunch of muppets and still haven't dispatched the one i ordered 10 days ago. The estimated dispatch date is still showing as 2/3/09 too I'd cancel, but i used a gift voucher and i'm not sure if it'll work again if a cancel the order Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted March 11, 2009 Wait, they got more stock in? Including fightpads? They came in stock last week for like an hour or two, i did put a post up in both this thread and the 360 one. I "got" one but they haven't dispatched it, so i guess i didn't get it as other people who ordered have received theirs! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 11, 2009 I'm still waiting too... For it to become available, that is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 11, 2009 Yay! I finally got the 100 wins trophy Took over 200 matches though haha, my win percentage is about 45% :p I also finally got over 1000BP! Wooo! haha. Anyone know why you randomly unlock Titles and Icons when playing online? I only have about 10 icons and they're all a bit shit. I think some of them are got in the Challenges but i'm stuck there on like levels 12 and 14 of each. Would love Chun Li's icon for doing all hard challenges but im stuck on the last one. Stupid Ex focus cancel mallarcky that doesn't make sense Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 11, 2009 I think you get titles depending on the combination of medals, the number of battles, battle points gained etc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 11, 2009 (edited) Ah this reminds me. Beat someone with a BP score that was more than tripple mine, so if I am at 1100, theirs was 3300+ Felt SOOOO satisfying taking off more than 100 points off them. Gotta love the anti-shoto guil but my god, the Normal Trial challenge of his is INSANELY hard! There is no way some stuff can be strung together. I even managed to do one of his hard trials, but am still stuck on one of the 'normal' ones. Edited March 11, 2009 by Deathjam Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 13, 2009 Yay! I finally got the 100 wins trophy Took over 200 matches though haha, my win percentage is about 45% :p I haven't won a single match yet. Rounds yes, but not fights. I feel so depressed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 13, 2009 Just tried Arcade mode for the first time in ages, on medium, and beat it with relative ease as Cammy - my first win on medium difficulty. Pretty funny that I was having such trouble with Easy mode when I first got it. Managed survival mode 13 too. Still can't get anywhere on Trial mode though - those combos are impossible for me, even the ones stringing three moves together! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 14, 2009 Ah this reminds me. Beat someone with a BP score that was more than tripple mine, so if I am at 1100, theirs was 3300+ I did that once, when mine was 20 and theres was 60. Not so amazing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted March 15, 2009 Whoops, my 1 month trial Xbox Live subscription ran out today - guess I'll sign up for another three months, while I'm still enjoying SFIV. Beat survival challenge 19 this morning. 20 looks pretty hard.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 15, 2009 Is anybody wanting to buy my SFIV fight stick? Probably used for 2 hours max. I bought it thinking I could get seriously into the genre but I'm just not wired that way. I'm putting it on e bay as well but if someone wants it on here I'll sell it to them. I'm in leeds if you want to pick it up. PM on reply on here if your interested.

Posted March 16, 2009 I was on a bit of a roll this weekend! Went from 1100BP to 1750BP! My win ratio has gone up from 44% to 47%! That's a big deal! I did lose to a n00b playing as Cammy though. I just hate that bitch, she's my nemesis. Spiral Arrow, Spirral Arrow, Cannon Spike... grr! Feck off! I also beat a really skilled Dhalsim. That felt good. I've noticed more and more people using different characters though. I mean, there are still alot of Ryu and Kens out there, but theres more variety. I'm not sure i like it either, i've played Ryu and Ken so much im pretty good against them so when a Honda, or a Blanka, or a Gen comes along it just throws me off my game :p Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 16, 2009 I heard an immense trick with Dhalsim off a mate: if you ultra his slow moving fireball thing, then teleport across the screen you're opponent auto turns his back to the fireball and it's unblockable. Zing! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted March 16, 2009 true, but the switch kind of fucks with you a bit- like you think you're blocking then suddenly you're walking in to a fierce punch to the teeth. And Getting set on fire. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 18, 2009 Boo, dropped from 1850 BP to 1600 BP It sucks having more points because you lose so much if some n00b gets lucky against you. I only lost two matches but that was enough to take 200 points off me! And when i win i only get 30-50 points because they're usually a similar level or lower than me. Its a bit unbalanced and unfair if you ask me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cammy is my new fav I love when some noob's standing across the screen linking fireballs with Ryu or Sagat and you just use Spiral Arrow and the twirling backhand attack to get right up to them and teach them a lesson.

Posted March 18, 2009 Why is it that I only seem to fight people with double my BP? I mean, obviously they are not fighting people with double - so why do I? I played at least 20 games tonight and all of them were against someone with a higher BP than me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 19, 2009 Have you got it set to "More Skilled" in the search settings? Not that it would matter much, the search settings dont seem very strict. I come accross loads of people with no points and some with double mine when i have 1500 BP or so and i have it set to "Same Skill". It's bollocks. I guess it does say "set search priority" so i guess you get a bit of everything mixed in with your preference, but it shouldn't be like that. Means its pot luck who you pick.
