Aimless Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 Ow. Ow! Now I know why you want really a stick for this game: my left thumb is now broken. Anyway, the game is really good! Shame I can tell already that I'll never be, which does sap my enjoyment somewhat.
Guest Jordan Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 People! You cannot play this game with a standard 360 controller, its just not made for it!
Shorty Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 I can play it fine with the 360 controller... the controls have been redone to work well with an analogue stick, so that D, DF, F becomes 180-90 degree arc. It works fine... it just takes some getting used to. I'm not going to pretend that a controller is the reason I'm not great, it will just take practice. Abel is such a bastard. That throw! Five times per fight! Grr. The modes are easier than they were on SF2HDTR, IMO. Whats the buttons? Like m kick high kick etc? o_O press start during a fight and have a look.
Domstercool Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 Analogue stick is a bastard, it loves to make me do the wrong moves at the wrong time, like when I'm trying to do dhalsims ultra move, it comes out with teleportation instead, can't wait for my real street fighter pads to come, won't have to shout at the pad for doing the wrong moves.
Deathjam Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 Zangief is an absolut bastard. if you get ANYWHERE near him its a grab for him. Man do I hate him. Chun-li is awesome. if you can time her combos, someone is in for a world of pain. If you need some help with combos, try the trial mode in challenge. Really helps you learn what moves cancel into what and there are qutie a lot of them.
Mike Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 Yes, just unlocked Gouken too. Just Seth to go now.
Dan_Dare Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 Gouken looks wicked. I really like his style.
Funktion Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 Oh forgot to say the CE is the biggest rip off in the history of anything. So US get Blu Ray and music cd, we get "Bonus disk" with no case. And the figures are shit quality. Gonna try and sell mine on teh ebayz probably. Bar game. Is this the PS3 edition? It doesn't come with a blu-ray disc? If it doesn't, I'll be pissed: I ordered the L.E. PS3 edition, so I could keep the anime disc and sell the game to a friend (I don't have a PS3), and I picked up the regular Xbox 360 release...
MATtheHAT Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 Just Gouken and Seth to go now! Akuma is badass. Although I can't seem to pull off his Ultra Special, because when I press pause and look at the move set, I can't understand what it is asking me to do. GOTY so far for me. Until Modern Warfare 2 comes out anyway.

Until Modern Warfare 2 comes out anyway. IIRC, and if its the same as before, then it should be light punch, light kick (could be other way round) forwards, then medium kick, hard punch? Been along time since I pulled that off and have not unlocked him yet.
Dyson Posted February 19, 2009 Posted February 19, 2009 LP -> LP -> Forward -> LK -> HP for Akuma's rape attack. Or at least it was before, it may have changed, but somehow I doubt it!
Pantsu Man! Posted February 19, 2009 Posted February 19, 2009 Right how do you do the Ultra moves? I've been in Training mode for 10 minutes now with Sakura (Hell YEAH!) and Ryu, playing as both trying to do the Ultra move. I get the blue bar all the way up and the red circle says Ultra. When I do the button combo it registers it as the one before it. eg. Ryu will do the Shinku Hadoken and not the Metsu Hadoken...
Domstercool Posted February 19, 2009 Posted February 19, 2009 You need to press all three punch buttons to do it, or just press LB for easiness(360) Ultra and Super are different things, they don't need both bars to work.

Thats what it says in the start menu, suppose I will just have to give it some practice.

Are you pressing all 3 Punch buttons (or the button assigned to that) after you do the directional pad motions? EDIT: God I am such a slow Typist, with my sausage fingers and everything. So yeah, what Domster says.^^^
Dyson Posted February 19, 2009 Posted February 19, 2009 It's gotta be done really quickly. Don't let each one land, hit the buttons in a quick sequence, just go for it. Don't wait until the LP's or LK have finished their animation.
dwarf Posted February 19, 2009 Posted February 19, 2009 All the high ratings and praise has made me consider buying this as my first SF game. Don't really think it's worth getting 2 fighting games though because I am definetly getting Tekken 6.
Dyson Posted February 19, 2009 Posted February 19, 2009 Compared to Street Fighter, Tekken is horrible.
Domstercool Posted February 19, 2009 Posted February 19, 2009 Nice 13 hour session of Street Fighter 4 there ^_^ God damn dhalsim vs seth on normal took me an hour just for that, god i hate dhalsim, lol
dwarf Posted February 19, 2009 Posted February 19, 2009 Compared to Street Fighter, Tekken is horrible. Wrong, wrong, wrong! Tekken is awesome, I think the characters are great and I prefer the art-style. Obviously I can't really argue in terms of gameplay but I don't see Tekken being that bad in comparison. This is probably where our differences lay: Tekken 6 Street Fighter 4 To me the combos of Yoshimitsu are more badass. There's no room for debate if you are a huge SF fan though, if you grew up with the series and are a master at it I can see why you would prefer it.
DiemetriX Posted February 19, 2009 Posted February 19, 2009 YEEEEEESSS!!!! Beet seth on normal with 3 rounds.
Domstercool Posted February 19, 2009 Posted February 19, 2009 Try doing that with Dhalsim Diemetrix :P IT'S A BITCH!
MATtheHAT Posted February 19, 2009 Posted February 19, 2009 It's gotta be done really quickly. Don't let each one land, hit the buttons in a quick sequence, just go for it. Don't wait until the LP's or LK have finished their animation. Ahhhhhh, the penny has dropped. After having a go at the hard Trail Challenges, I can see now how to cancel into the next move, basically doing what you said about pressing the buttons in quick succession without letting the animations finish. Jesus Christ some of these top level players must be seriously skilled, Just tried to do a *deep breath* Jump into hard kick cancel into target combo cancel into light shoryuken cancel into EX focus attack cancel into shinryuken.........nails. All the high ratings and praise has made me consider buying this as my first SF game. Don't really think it's worth getting 2 fighting games though because I am definetly getting Tekken 6. I love Tekken as much as the next man, but seriously, long term fan or not, SFIV owns Tekken.
dwarf Posted February 19, 2009 Posted February 19, 2009 You don't have to wreck your fingers when you play Tekken though, which to SF players is part of the fun apparently.
DiemetriX Posted February 19, 2009 Posted February 19, 2009 I can't pull off those ultra moves, been trying for a while in training mode now :| Can some one tell me how to do it with a specific character?
