Shorty Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 (edited) The matchmaking is pretty shit. As you said, you can set it to 'same skill' and still fight people with 2000BP more. Or you can set it to strong connection and get nothing but red bars. The whole 'searching' function could do with a complete rewrite tbh - for example you spend 30 seconds searching, pick the person from the top of the list straight away and it says they're unavailable (often no reason is given...) and does it let you go back and pick a second choice? No, it makes you start searching again v_v on a site note I played my 200th online match and won my 100th yesterday. So I'm slightly below 50% I also went back on arcade mode and cleared medium in one try with Cammy... no continues Edited March 19, 2009 by Shorty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 I'm struggling with Seth on Easiest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dyson Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 I might consider beating arcade on medium with all characters. I just dunno if I can be bothered with it, I've already done it on v. easy for Seth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jav_NE Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 I'm struggling with Seth on Easiest. Tap hard kick. It works more often than not with most characters on easiest. I wouldn't have considered bothering doing it on medium with every character but i found out you can do it with any character up until Seth, then choose the character you need to beat him with. Saves having to do every round with crap characters like Dhalsim, but the Seth fight will still be a pain in the ass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dyson Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 That's cool. It's just the hassle of going through it all again Dan Dare got royally owned by me earlier, and it was goooood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I spent so long doing it over so many sessions... I've forgotten who I've done it with and who I haven't v_v; I'm fairly sure I've done it with about 22-23 characters I just don't know which ones I skipped Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcon_BlizZACK Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 This game gets boring... easily. I can't really put my finger on why. I can still play Alpha 3 and Millenium Fighting with joy, but SF4... feels 'different'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shorty Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 Are you playing it multiplayer or online at least? I got tired of the arcade mode fairly quick, and a bit fed up of the challenges, but SF's always been about the versus human element. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got tired of the arcade mode fairly quick, and a bit fed up of the challenges, but SF's always been about the versus human element. Thats mostly what I've been doing; playing with friends and family. No online though. I think its the simplicity and familiarization of the game while having fewer characters. With Alpha 3 and Snk vs Capcom, when i get bored with my main fighters, i go off to try some other characters at least just to see their animations. But the choices in 4 are limited and too familiar. Bare in mind I win 95% of the fights. ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
