The Bard Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 I think I'm gonna start maining with Akuma, start learning a new character (I'm thinknig either Sagat or Bison), and use Ken as a backup. Some of Akuma's combos are quite difficult though, since his cancelled shoryuken seems to give you less input frames than Ryu or Ken. Total beast though.
MATtheHAT Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 HAHAHAHAHAHAHA MAN, THAT WAS FUCKING HILARIOUS, SERIOUSLY, AHAHAHAHAHAHA Cunt. Wow, over-react much? Twat.
Deathjam Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 Heh, no english opponents are on this now as the footy is on. Ah my live stream is back...now its gone. I want to watch too
Goron_3 Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 Guile why do you frustrate me so much!!! Argh anyone got any tips for playing with him? When i play online with him i get hammered by guys who i'd whip with Ken/Sagat. Maybe I'm being too offensive?
Shorty Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 Guile why do you frustrate me so much!!! Argh anyone got any tips for playing with him? When i play online with him i get hammered by guys who i'd whip with Ken/Sagat. Maybe I'm being too offensive? If you don't like him, why play as him?
Dan_Dare Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 Guile why do you frustrate me so much!!! Argh anyone got any tips for playing with him? When i play online with him i get hammered by guys who i'd whip with Ken/Sagat. Maybe I'm being too offensive? probably. Every time I play against him, good players have just minced me by going in to a crouch and charge partitioning a shit load of sonic booms and flash kicks. Euargh.
Goron_3 Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 If you don't like him, why play as him? Oh no, I love him to pieces, just find it hard winning with him. He's a bit of a legend, Sonic boom!
Guest Jordan Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 Thing about Guile's (and all other characters) charging moves is, you don't have to stop and hold back or down. You can be mid move, mid air even and hold down and left it adds to the charge time. Meaning, you can jump up and back, holding back walk back a step and go into a sonic boom.
MATtheHAT Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 I am maining Guile at the moment, and , without wanting to blow my own trumpet, I pWn with him. Especially ranked online matches amongst all the shoto spammers. Although he is a defensive fighter, he is just as good at offence as well imo. I tend to mix it up a bit between rounds and depending on how the opponent is playing. It can be tricky getting up close to someone who is throwing out Hadokens, but timing the jumps is key, and his flash kick has a decent reach when you get close enough. As Jordan says, just charge all the time, wait for an opening in your opponents defence, then unleash. Guile is fuckin immense when mastered.
Choze Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 SF4 is now the fastest selling fighter in the UK in one week (since charttrack began tracking in 1997). which i guess makes it a bigger one week than Tekken.
Dyson Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 Wow; fuck Zangief. Seriously, fuck him. Fucking cheap as fuck character. El Fuerte can suck my nuts too, he's retardedly shite.
Choze Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 I am abit tired of the fact a third of the charcters are like Ryu/Ken. :p Still fun though.
ReZourceman Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 LINK .................................. I don't get the fight pad bonanza....well I would if I got it on 360. Anyway, I'm trading in my CE today, with a bit of luck. For Disgaea. Then I'll rebuy one of the hundreds of copies that will be in the sale whenever. Got bored of getting my ass handed to me. I still think it was on a handicap.
Dan_Dare Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 I am abit tired of the fact a third of the charcters are like Ryu/Ken. :p Still fun though. The devil's in the details. There's a world of difference between Ryu, Ken and Segat. Even more so between those guys and Gouken. I don't get the fight pad bonanza....well I would if I got it on 360. Anyway, I'm trading in my CE today, with a bit of luck. For Disgaea. Then I'll rebuy one of the hundreds of copies that will be in the sale whenever. Got bored of getting my ass handed to me.

Jav_NE Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 Seems like we have people with a good range of character use. Any chance you guys could post your favourite combo? (preferably one that leads into your characters Ultra)? Would help me out writing some tips
Dan_Dare Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 I did something lethal with Gouken yesterday. It was kind of an accident though so I'm not sure exactly what happened. I think: I did an EX dragon punch dash thing punched them in the air/ possibly cancelled something ULTRA all before they hit the floor
ReZourceman Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 lolz I know, lol I'm god damn pathetic.
Jav_NE Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 I know, lol I'm god damn pathetic. I dunno, i think alot of people just play it too much and train alot more. It does take the fun out of it a little. I mean, its great being skilled and beating people online, even friends, but its playing real life multiplayer thats the real fun, and if you're too good then people just dont want to play you. My g/f refuses to play anymore, and it sucks, because i loved playing against her. Just dont get disheartened if you get beat alot online. Online gamers are always better skilled than casual games with mates, especially when they're addicted to something like SFIV.
The-chosen-one Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 haha i'm also an addicted streetfighter geek lol when i beat someone online i start laughing real hard because it gets kinda Funny when they are Yelling trough the Mic and the real funny thing is online i win all the time but at home when i play a match with my brother it gets kinda hard because he is really Good also whe had 3 draws in a row that cant be coincidense lol
Dan_Dare Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 I've been playing my mate a fair bit and he's a tiny bit better than me. He won 6 games in a row and almost every round came down to about a single medium punch of life each. It was insanely frustrating but he's still really fun to fight- not least beause he favours charge characters and I rarely get the chance to play them, XBL ranked being the way it is.
DiemetriX Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 Gouken = Requirements: After unlocking Akuma you MUST beat the game with Akuma and get his ending before Gouken will unlock. Also, whoever you are trying to unlock Gouken with you MUST have already beat the game once. NO CONTINUES/NO ROUNDS LOST!! Preperation: Set difficulty to Easiest. Rounds set to 1. Time set to 99. Fight 1 - Perfect Finish Fight 2 - Ultra Finish Fight 3 - Ultra Finish Fight 4 - Ultra Finish Fight 5 DO NOT GET A PERFECT ULTRA OR SUPER FINISH Fight 6 DO NOT GET A PERFECT ULTRA OR SUPER FINISH Fight 7 DO NOT GET A PERFECT ULTRA OR SUPER FINISH Fight 8 DO NOT GET A PERFECT ULTRA OR SUPER FINISH that worked
Jav_NE Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 There are a few stipulations, like completing Arcade with Akuma and probably finishing Arcade with no continues at least once before, but i got two Perfects and three Ultras and it still worked.
Deathjam Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 Seems like we have people with a good range of character use. Any chance you guys could post your favourite combo? (preferably one that leads into your characters Ultra)? Would help me out writing some tips Fave combo with Sakura is: Focus attack -> crouch medium kick -> Ex hurricane kick -> Strong Shouoken 8 Hits I think Harder version is the same but with the Ultra instead of the Shouoken. Timing is very critical to connect with this. But most of the time, stuff does not seem to cancel into the Ultra. Only the super which is a good thing anyway as a combo with a super on the end can take more than 50% life.
ReZourceman Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 Actually sniggered at the guy in GAME telling me trade in price of the CE was £19.99, when just behind him in the cabinet they are selling it for £69.99. Most overpriced CE ever IMO, considering we didn't get sound track or Blu Ray. Heck the DVD didn't even play on my PC.
