Pit-Jr Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 This game needs custom soundtrack support STAT I cant seem to get past a 9-game winning streak It never fails, in the 10th fight i get all tense and make some idiotic move and wind up on the receiving end of a Shoryuken

I couldn't hear you over the sound of my 360's built in custom soundtracks for every game on the system
Jav_NE Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 "In-de-structable!" What other music do you need?! I mute anyone with mics.
Dan_Dare Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 some of the in fight music is actually great. The airfield tune is a bit of a gem and I nearly soiled myself in joy when I did a Sagat vs Ryu rivals match and the remixed SFII tune kicked in.
Pit-Jr Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 come again? I couldn't hear you over the sound of my 360's built in custom soundtracks for every game on the system Id repeat myself but im busy NOT paying for Ranked matches [/iMMATURE] "In-de-structable!" What other music do you need?! I mute anyone with mics. I actually preferred the HD Remix soundtrack TBH, but any song to purge 'Indestructable' from my head will do
MATtheHAT Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 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. This. Because the Focus attack is unblockable at full power, this combo is devastating (I have been on the recieving end a few times). And after the combo has finished, while the opponent is on the floor, starting to charge the focus attack so it hits as soon as the opponent gets up can lead into another combo. I like Guile's traditional jumping HK -> low MK -> Sonic Boom then just as the SB hits -> One of those roundhouse punches to the face. Or variations of.
Dyson Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 Iiin-deeee-structible! I don't have to live with it, as I went for the Japanese voice option, with the exception of American/English characters. Also customsoundtracks360lol. Anyway, got Seth last night, actually a good character to sue. Only problem I've got is trying to pull off my ultra; I keep teleporting, but that gets me out of trouble too
The-chosen-one Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 what? is it possible to switch music? or did i read i wrong haha lol if so tell me how because i want to hear the classic songs that i heard when you challenge your rival in arcade mode
Shorty Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 Online I only ever played against Seth once, and it was really easy. I've never once played against E. Honda, C. Viper, Rufus, El Fuerte, Gen, Gouken, Dhalsim, Rose, Sakura or Balrog....

Viper, Rufus, El Fuerte, Gen, Gouken, Dhalsim, Rose, Sakura or Balrog.... Sakura and Gouken seem to be a staple on PSN, I have also fought Balrog more than enough times. I can understand El Fuerte and Dhalsim being left alone because they are shit in the hands of the average gamer. Also, in other news, I have just reached the 2000 BP mark!
Dan_Dare Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 I played possibly my favourite match so far vs a Balrog player t'other night. I was Gouken and it was intense. Proper tactical game of counters and strategies. Loved it
Dyson Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 I'm starting to hate this game and indeed my flatmate. Until they do something about Ken's absolutely ridiculous hitting power I don't think that's gonna change, either.

Until they do something about Ken's absolutely ridiculous hitting power I don't think that's gonna change, either. You know you can crouch under the hurricane kick and break it with an uppercut, and crouch block the first hit of the shoryuken then counter it, right? Ken is awesome, my favourite, but he has all sorts of openings like anyone else. If your flatmate plays as Ken all the time then eventually you can figure out all sorts of strategies to mess up his plans.

Until they do something about Ken's absolutely ridiculous hitting power I don't think that's gonna change, either. Hahaha. He's probably just better than you, Ken was kinda nerfed in this game teebs. If you're gonna complain about anyone, it should be fucking Sagat.
Dyson Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 Don't get me started on Sagat. Flatmate is a sweeper, that's all. When I used to play with my sister, if I ever constantly sweeped her she would stop playing, therefore I didn't do it very often, and it wasn't done much to me, havn't adapted to it, that's all. It's the power of Ken's Shoryuken that gets to me. Even worse when EX'd. But hey ho; every time I play I notice more and more little things he does, like he has with me. Ultra timings and such. Just need to main a character like he does instead of switching between everyone and we'll be done in no time. Annoyingly; I still kick his arse at SF Third Strike.
Dan_Dare Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 Hey you watch your mouth! They call him The King for a reason! the reason might be because he's an unstoppable torrent of pain and misery upon all who dare withstand the power of an EX Tiger Knee but so's your face!
Jav_NE Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 Ken's Ultra does waaayyyy too much damage though to be fair. Nearly as much as Akuma? It's not on though seeing as its so damn easy to pull off.
Dan_Dare Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 TBH, i find that one really hard to land. It's got no forward motion at all, far as I can tell. I know there's cancel tricks etc but I can't do those.
Shorty Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 You have to be very close to connect it (although not as close as you do with some others, like Zangief). If all you do is catch them in the air with the punch it does shit damage.
Dyson Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 Zangief's range on his Ultra is minimal - but does do a TON of damage if it connects. Seth's ultra seems a bit weak from what my memory served up from my boss fights.
Goron_3 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 Earlier i pulled off something with guile along the lines of: Aerial hard kick, crouching medium punch, FLASH KICK (which was then cancelled into..) -> Ultra. Fuck yes, best thing i've done so far in this game.
Shorty Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 Ken: Jump HK, HK, medium shoryuken-cancel-ex focus-cancel (with dash forward) ultra. takes like 60% health... edit: but I struggle with landing the punch, I'd say I only do it in 1/3 attempts. Haven't played this for 2 days, and I'm going away for a bit today! Gonna be itchin for some when I get back...

Kens HP in the air seems to have greater priority than his HK in this game, so you might want to try that instead, and your combo might work better if you use an MK as the second part of that since you can combo directly into a shoryuken from it, while a HK leaves some open frames for the opponent to block =). I might borrow that combo actually, sounds fun =p.
Goron_3 Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 I'M WINNING GAMES ONLINE WITH GUILE! At last! Playing much more defensively but then occasionally getting them with some great combo's which lead into the sonicboom. get in. Still can barely pull off the Ultra thoughh
