[Lorddraco07]

How much you looking for Phrostbyte for the EX2?

[RelentlessRolento]

it's $19.99? I should get it since it's one of the fighters that have had a big impact on my love for the genre.

[Lorddraco07]

Nevermind Phrost. Sorry to have wasted your time (got the wrong stick mixed up(ex and ex2)).

[heavyd853]

GGS Rolento. That was some silly ass stuff that went on!

[distgfx]

Man, I can't fight Rolento's Dan for some reason >_<

Yes, I have NAT type 2.

[asianxcore]

Guess, I'll be picking up my copy tomorrow, that is if they're not all sold out ;)

It's hilarious that you mentioned that (well, to me it is). I had an hour before I had to go to work so I went by my local GS to see if they had any copies of KOF98UM in.

Saw it on the shelf, so I brought it up to buy. Ended up being the last copy they had. A friend of mine was working that day and said they only got a handful in. Lucky me

If I knew the original KOF 98' DM was going to be included in this release, I would've held off on buying the Orochi Collection for Wii. Oh well, I only used $20 in credit for the Orochi on Wii.

Definitely looking forward to start digging into KOF98UM.

WOOO 2 hilarious disconnectors in a row!

I'm so happy!

First it was this Zangief dude, who after I won the first round with about 90% health on Ken, disconnected!

Here's a transcript of the ensuing conversation!

"U mad?"
"r u ok?"
"busta wooooolf!"

yeah!

Also, I played a pretty decent ryu today and just managed to get an ex tatsu into ultra to win the match. He disconnected while the ultra animation was just starting.

Messages!

"U mad?"
him: "u gay?"
me! "Ultras are no homo!"

Man I feel so good today.

Btw the bitch ass ryu player was Agent Hater. All games on 360.

[Monsta Mack]

http://www.gamestop.com/Catalog/ProductDetails.aspx?product_id=74187 KOF gets the infamous "place holder (?) date for 7/7. Thought this would be $39.99 but they listed it at $59.99. Gonna place my pre-order once It's on Amazon.

[suko_32]

Unlike SFIV, I'm just getting KoF XII and BlazBlue on one system. The question is which.

[Knoxximus]

I could go on, but I dont get out of work until 5... I'm more of an evening dood.

I had a guy rage quit on me when I was tearing him up with my Dictator. 1st round was a blowout, and the connection was butters. 2nd round I was fresh off of a headstomp which lett him with a sliver of health and was coming down with the finishing blow when it locked up and DC'd.

So I texted him.

Me: Loser!

Him: Sorry is my connection <-- actual quote

Me: LIAR!

:lol:

[Monsta Mack]

I just msg everyone saying "Sorry Dan is cheap, isn't he?" when people quit my ranked Matches (I use Dan 90%+ of the time. Just too fun to pass up.)

Oh shit, son! That means that somebody could scratch out "TIGER!! TIGER!! T-T-T-T-TIGER!! TIGER!! T-T-T-T-TIGER!! TIGER!!" It would be just like playing any Sagat. :)

[RelentlessRolento]

[PhrostByte]

So here's my round 3 story:

I lost. :lol: Anyway, the guy that beat me won the whole thing.

Round 1 Blanka(me) vs. Sagat(Eric): Not much of a problem. I beat him with like 80% health left.
Round 2: Pretty even.. then.. I... HIT START BY ACCIDENT. This created an uproar of confusion.. I felt like a dumbass and they made me lose the round. At first the guy said I was disqualified so I was just happy I had another chance.
Round 3: He beats me with a little bit of health left.
Round 4: I get him down to 1% left and I have 50% left. Now.. I play some of you guys online regularly.. and you know how ya'll always tell me not to spam my ultra? Well, I figured since I had so much health left... OH FUCKIT, SPAM ULTRA! So.. did you all know that Sagat can ultra all the way across the screen and hit Blanka out of his ultra for about 50% damage? I do now! So I get up.. jump over a Tiger Shark, block a couple jabs, EX Ball through another Tiger Shark, and get punched in the nuts to lose the whole thing. Oh well.. it was fun. :D

[Rodimus]

I also got stuck with the last copy. Normally I refuse to buy them, but with a game like KOF 98' UM I'd be wasting my time trying to find a sealed a copy.

I love the EX version of Geese, his projectiles make him soooo cheap. And with normal Geese you don't have to input commands for his Deadly Rave anymore, he just does it automaticlly. Plus they gave Krauser his Real Bout moves including his Super Tornado DM. I can't wait to go through the rest of the characters to see all the new moves.

But I'm sure this is old news for all you guys who imported it

[MtlTom]

I've got a quick question & I'm sure this is the thread to get the answer.

Can anyone 100% confirm that the eBay Saturn USB pads will work with OS X 10.5.x? Specifically with MAME but it would be cool if it works with something like Gametap as well. I really want to get one but there's no point if it won't work. If it doesn't, any recommendation for a good pad for fighters that will work on the Mac?

Also, I've been trying to get my 360 Fightpad to work on my Mac with no success. I have the unofficial drivers that work perfectly with my regular X360 controller but the computer won't recognize the FP at all. I've tried USBOverdrive & that didn't help.

Any help would be apprciated!

[jer7583]

Wow, Chun is so useless against Blanka.

I have a really hard time with Vega, but then I always have. The wall dive shit just makes my brain shut off in confusion. Even though he's suppossedly terrible in SF4, I have a harder time with him here than I did in ST.

At least Chun has some big advantages against Sagat, the new god of street fighter.

Hazanshu mixups, standing roundhouse, pokes, and ultra are so good against him. I have an easier time against him then Blanka.

[Arikado]

Got to the quarterfinals of my GameStop tourney and wound up getting knocked out by one of the best players in the area. Zangief vs. Blanka is like a fucking chess match, but he came out on top. He went on to lose to aznhitler in the finals. Now I never have to play SFIV on a 360 pad ever again, thank god.

Fuck Blanka.

I need to take a break from SFIV to get into KOF98UM and check out some of the characters.

I'm not surprised that lot if not all of the players moving on in the Gamestop tourney's are top players from that area. Had a feeling that Aznhitler's name would pop up outta the TX area tourney's.

Anyone got any tips for a starting SF4 Cammy? It's always seems so hard to gain ground on the opponent with her.

[Jest]

The times I've had the most success with Cammy I would just sit back and play defensively. CS on jump ins and drill + spike on wiffs and after blocking. But I'm not the best person to ask. Hopefully BlueSwim will see this and chime in.

[BlueSwim]

Best tip I have to offer at the moment is that Cammy's Axle Spinning Knuckle can go through projectiles with the right timing.8-)8-)8-)


EDIT: Sorry I'm a little light on the tips ATM, I haven't touched SFIV in about 2 weeks and I'm battling a headache.:( I'll try to post something a little more in depth tomorrow, option.

Haha thanks bro. I think i got it down against normal ground hadoukens. But does it go through akuma's air projectiles?

[BlueSwim]

Haha thanks bro. I think i got it down against normal ground hadoukens. But does it go through akuma's air projectiles?
In honor of the "no bitch assness" motto, I'll go due a little experimenting against Akuma and report back. Jest is pretty much on-the-money with his advice too.:D:D:D

[BlueSwim]

Okay, just looked into it and yes, the Axle Spinning Knuckle can pass through Akuma's mid-air Hadouken with the normal timing as long as it's around medium height on her, or the same height as a normal Hadouken. If the Hadouken hits her high enough, she'll take damage.

[Jest]

Spin Knuckle is awesome against scrubs. They don't know about it and when you hit them can get in a pretty nice combo cause they are all "OH SHIT OMGOMGOMG".

[option.iv]

Well, just played an Akuma and it was not fun at all. But I did confirm that spinning knuckle goes through Akuma's air fbs. Though it really doesn't mean much since they're most likely jumping back al the time.

Thanks guys for the tips. If you guys have the ps3 version and wanna do some Cammy mirror matches, I'm up for some.

I'll have to say the same goes with Dan... I'm aggressive, but I've learned I win more by working in more defense.

[Azumangaman]

My Cammy is on the offensive. Crazy attacks = crazy fun.
I also enjoy beating Shoto's with Dan and Sagat (Sagat more).
Countering shoto's with more shoto = win.

Another item of note, you can Spiral Arrow under projectiles, allowing you to make forward progress while dodging the projectile.

[RelentlessRolento]

Dan vs Shotos isn't fun... the wins are even better than normal wins though.

Lag really fucks me up when setting up combos.

[Azumangaman]

Dan vs Shotos isn't fun... the wins are even better than normal wins though.
It's pretty fun. I'm not pro with Dan.
Cammy is my main, but I love using Sagat, Rose, Dan and most people that don't have charge attacks (I like Balrog, Chun Li and Vega but my charge skills are bad).

Thanks guys for the tips. If you guys have the ps3 version and wanna do some Cammy mirror matches, I'm up for some.If the Akuma is doing alot of air fireballs you can dash in and air throw him. There's also the cannon strike -> low short -> low jab -> low short ( if the 2nd low short hits, -> spiral arrow) for pressuring and meter building. TK cannon strike for tick throwing or use the EX TK cannon strike to connect an Ultra.

[RelentlessRolento]

I'll admit I have one weakness... I tense up against charge character online... mostly boxer and least with blanky.

[option.iv]

Another item of note, you can Spiral Arrow under projectiles, allowing you to make forward progress while dodging the projectile.
Wait, do you mean the EX version? I'm sure the SA can go under Sagat's high projectiles and under Akuma's if done early, but I dunno about normal fbs.

[SmallWind]

Cammy's EX spiral arrow can go through almost any projectile even Ryu's ultra.

[Jest]

GGs ReRo. Sorry couldn't stay longer. Just got really tired. I couldn't pull off any specials or combos for the life of me. Frickin SRKs were giving me a really hard time.

[RelentlessRolento]

yeah GGs Jest. Actually after playing you I've kinda learned a bit more how to play dan in a style I'm comfortable with... basically mind gaming even though I don't think it was as good as it could be when I did it with you :lol:

[heavyd853]

Learn how to cannon strike effectively with cammy, its the jump in one and its extremely useful. The ex version can combo into a normal one too, and that can be comboed out of with a fierce and cs or sa. Its hard to do though!

[suko_32]

I noticed this like a week ago, but heavyd is like the only person to main Ken on the FGT. I just thought it was interesting.

Any tips for performing in-air attacks in general? I have a very hard time pulling them off.

It was a combination of you being amazing and me being too tired.
I'd like to play when I'm more awake next time, although I'm sure the results would be the same.

[SmallWind]

Any tips for performing in-air attacks in general? I have a very hard time pulling them off.What in-air attacks are you talking about?

[Jest]

Canon Strike, Viper's kick, the shoto's kicks... Pretty much anything that can be used in the air.

[SmallWind]

Most of them can be preformed at the peak of the jump.

[option.iv]

ggs axc. Man I hated those projectile keep away games...

[heavyd853]

Cammy's can be used at any time as long as its a forward jump, this is really useful for her by doing it right at the start of a jump to essentially triangle jump and when shes almost in on them because it will combo.

Wouldn't the TK Cannon Strike be only something to use when the opponent is dizzy? The range on it is super small.

Though I can see an early Cannon Strike being a good jump fake. I should know, I fall for Rufus' all the time. Seeing a fat guy move through the air so fast is ridiculous.

Yeah, its usually done after a focus attack.

At least its not like dealing with Magneto or Storm's jump ins in mvc2 -_-

[RelentlessRolento]

Most of them can be preformed at the peak of the jump.


I find dan's kick combo is best used a split second before hitting the ground since it saves ur ass most the time at that point than any others when jumping in.

i feel like i plateaued cause im not trying new stuff!

heres a few questions i have for you folks who have been playing SF games for a while
1) how did u practice throws/grabs? i donno how to time it or practice it
2) is there a better way to practice execution other then just doing the same move 100 times in a row?
3) what is your mind set as the game starts? i kinda just turtle when it starts then start the offense.

i don't know who you play as so here's general advice.

1: work on guaranteed damage
-say your opponent whiffs. you need to know how to deal the most damage. not only that, but observe the situation after you finish your combo and make sure you know your options from there, what kind of wakeups, frames, and have the blueprint in your head. i'm watching my brother play and that's the only thing holding him back, every time he has guaranteed damage he doesn't maximize it. if you can do more damage with a super than a regular combo, then do it. etc.

2: conversely, DON'T WHIFF
-it's the worst thing you can do. seriously. i mean you can whiff some attacks at mid-range if it's unpunishable, but you never want to miss a shoryuken or anything. easier said than done though. you can usually tell how good someone is based on how they use their super and ultra. if they do it randomly then they suck... so work on setting it up and using it properly.

3: wake-up games
-a lot of my damage is dealt on the wakeup. you need to know all your options. and even then, remember that more options aren't necessarily better. if you have 2 really good options you can just use those, and then maybe bring in a 3rd every once in a while. get in your opponents head.

in response to your questions:
1- certain situations you just get used to it. empty jump --> grab. tick throw --> grab. force a whiff, grab. fairly simple.
2- nope. there's a anecdote about a guy who used to practice judo. he'd complain that he had to practice a basic move 50 times before real practice began. then he realized that that situation will probably come up 10,000 times. so practice up, practice in games.
3- since i mostly play sakura, i try to poke and force them into a mistake, then i can open up the wakeup games and force pressure.

[JEKKI]

any tips on improving?

i feel like i plateaued cause im not trying new stuff!

heres a few questions i have for you folks who have been playing SF games for a while
1) how did u practice throws/grabs? i donno how to time it or practice it
2) is there a better way to practice execution other then just doing the same move 100 times in a row?
3) what is your mind set as the game starts? i kinda just turtle when it starts then start the offense.u use Blanka rite??

like kain in the brain said, practice punishing whiffs. since Blanka needs charge to do all his moves, throwing is a great way to punish whiffs, I go it all the time unless I got charge/super/ultra. Otherwise I go for crouching fierce (not the slide), crouching roundhouse, or standing forward.

other throw setups are doing a Blanka ball that stops rite before your oppoenent and throwing them, crossing up with jumping forward into a block string or combo into a throw, or focus attack-dash cancel into throw or focus charge-dash cancel into throw.

also the best way to practice execution is practice mode. Jus keep doing and doing until you get it down, then once u got it down u gotta practice in actual matches

Phrost, if that's true, that is weak as fuck.

Partially true. The guy was a dick and showed up 45 minutes after registration. The bracket was already made. They had a vote. Him and another guy that were late voted to allow themselves in. Me and another guy voted to not let them in. I didn't even bother responding to all the bullshit on SRK because I figured no one would get it. See, I don't understand why someone who shows up late for something expects special consideration. When I care about something, I show up on time. Maybe it's just me.. but I just don't feel like it's right to feel like you deserve something for some unknown reason. I don't blame him for trying to get in after everything was set up, I would have done the same thing if I was in that situation, except I wouldn't be in that situation, since I wouldn't be late. And just like I don't blame him for trying to get in, he shouldn't blame me for not wanting people who showed up late in the tournament. It's not fair to everyone else. I know everyone thinks I'm an asshole for doing what I did, but I don't really care. I still feel as if I did the right thing. See, it's my opinion that most of the other entrants also didn't want those two late-show-up-shit-talkers in the tournament, but didn't bother voting cuz they didn't want to seem like dicks. That wasn't even a concern for me. I stand up for what I think is right.

[Furashu]

theres two sides to a story...

anyways

thanks for the tips guys, i use boxer and blanka!

[PhrostByte]

Oh yeah.. also forgot to mention that neither of the two late guys were actually supposed to be in the tournament. They lost at Round 2 but got entry tickets from their friends who couldn't go.. but hey, I'm still an asshole for standing by my beliefs right?

There was one in Tougeki Damashi Vol. 12 from a month ago...

S: Steve

C: Anna, Alisa, Kazuya, King, Kuma/Panda, Christie, Jack-6, Dragunov, Nina, Paul, Bob, Lei, Leo, Wang
D: Zafina, Miguel, Yoshimitsu, Raven

The more current one is a bit different though... But it's pretty much the same.

[PhrostByte]

Steve is still the best??? WTF I hate Steve. Looks like Jin moved up slightly which is cool. Guess I'll be maining Jin again since he's not horrible anymore. Also be giving all the new guys a try... I wonder if online T6 will be all Jins just like online SFIV was all Kens...

I love it, headstomp pretty much rules the air, I do it all the time. Especially people that like to jump in at the start, I just throw it out and they'll get hit at least twice before they wise up.

All you gotta do to punish it is walk backwards. And some anti airs can trade or out right beat it.

ok seriously, fuck zangief.

what kind of retard designer thought

"hey, zangief sucks! let's make his lariat hit crouching characters who attempt a move! and let's give it mid invincibility too! and then let's give him a combo that does 20% damage AND force a 50-50, relatively safe mindgame of 360 or lariat!"

Yeah, he's broken as hell.

[Inf^Shini]

I'm just referring to people who like to keep jumping in the air, no AA's or anything.

The one thing that annoys me is that I rarely ever get Hell Attack to connect, it tends to get beat out by anything and only works if someone wiffs, which is unlikely unless they follow Ken's flowchart.

Against most people online, the head stomp's really all you need. I pray they end up spamming the fireball attacks (hadouken, tiger shot, etc.) now. If they learn to use their AA attacks, then I just use dictator's devil reverse to either avoid it or punish it. Depends on the situation.

Jump in hp, HOLD DOWN/BACK, lp, lp, lk~when you see this hit visually, slide d/b to u/b+heavy punch for the heavy buffalo... after the heavy buffalo hits, (you're still holding back cuz you're doing u/b), slide it to back, then finish the ultra.

it's not that it's broken (although EX headstomp has massive priority and beats almost everything air-to-air, if not everything).

it's that it makes no goddamn sense!



i don't think gief is broken so much that he's one of the easiest characters to play as. he has so much going for him. aside from his mega easy damage and mixups he also has the most life in the game. he doesn't need that at all.

[asianxcore]

Just got KOF 98' UM now KOF 02' UM comes along:


Now? KOF2K2UM has been out for about a month now in Japan :)

distgfx, to answer your question....I personally was hyped for KOF98UM because I didn't have to pay $35 more to import it. Also it's the first time SNKP hasn't fucked up so we are all happy about that :)

I might import KOF2K2UM once my speeding ticket gets cleared or not.

I agree with Rodimus, I don't think Zangief is broken...some of his options are just lame. I think it really messes with a player when you have to play completely different against Zangief. As an Abel player, Zangief pretty much turns my normal gameplay upside-down. I have to play even more safe as he has an answer for most of Abel's mix-ups.

I played a great Zangief online once and I couldn't stop laughing when I had a clean cross up with Abel on him and his answer after the cross-up was EX SPD :)

It's lame that that game was never released on XBox. Yeah you can unlock the enhanced version of all the Alpha's and you can also unlock a mixed-up Hyper master version which has like all the characters and new Isms. There's SF3-ism, VS-ism, and another one.. Darkstalkers-ism I think? For some reason every time I played the mixed-up version of that game I could only play on one level...

If I'm not mistaken it came out for Wii because of the install base in Japan and because the Arcade boards were based on the same hardware. The game was released in Japan only, why would there be any need to put anything in English? (Though many of the PS2 Imports I have include English at the bare minimum in Button Config.) :)

(Proper TVC Button Config)
A- Weak
B- Strong
C- Hard/Fierce
D- Change Partner

The game is a much better when you are using the shitty Wii options (Classic, Wiimote, etc). Most of us in here bought GC--->PSX/PS2 converters, so we wouldn't have to put up with that Wii controller garbage. Also once you do that you can go on forums like SRK and get the proper Arcade Configuration for Sticks. There are also translations of all of the menus and so on.

The game is tons of fun once you get in depth with it. Baroque Cancels, Infinites, Weird ass juggles/combos, etc.

Seth is too fun to play even if he takes a ton of damage.

Anyone who has tried Seth, is canceling the last hit of Seth's Tatsu out of (Cross-Up HK, Cr. HP xx Tastu) into Headstomp is purely situational?

Been trying to do it to no avail :)

[MarkMan]

The Triumvir Shadaloo hats aren't coming back in stock... they were limited ;(

JEKKI has both... so do I ;)

[asianxcore]

I think Seth is my new character I'll be playing behind Abel (my main). Too much fun.

Had a guy who was playing Akuma rage quit on me playing Seth in best of 5 :)

Too too funny

[heavyd853]

for rog can i jump in HP then throw? or is that kara throwing? cause i donno how to to that stuff! lol

After you land on the ground post hit, just walk forward a teeeeeeny bit, like a billionth of a step and throw.

I just farmed like 1000 bp in the last few hours, that was goofy.

[PhrostByte]

I hit 4000 last night, but I still think I suck. :\

[RelentlessRolento]

so, the TE stick is coming back in stock this april (or sooner...). Don't know if I want the PS3 stick or 360 stick... it all depends on how easy it is to dual mod since I've never modded (or owned >__<) a stick.

Wasn't it established that the 360 version would be easier to dual mod? It's solderless, if I remember correctly, and is easiest with a Cthulu.

[Azumangaman]

SFIV online is annoying. I haven't found ANYBODY with over 1000BP in at least a week. Its so hard to get more BP!

thanks yeah i was wondering why i couldnt throw after landing sometimes or missing my throws.

[Dandeschain]

I just picked up KOF98UM today. Great deal for 20 bones. I played for about an hour and really enjoyed it. Now if only I had a PS3 stick....

[hankmecrankme]

Any comparisons between the US and JPN KOF 98 UM? I want to know if SNKPUSA fucked this one up too.

I forgot my 360 power brick cable at my friend's house, and I won't be able to get it until Friday. So. . .anyone want to GGPO it up later? I have a better router now, so my problems with it are fixed.

[Dandeschain]

What exactly are you thinking about Hank? I've never played the Japan version, but I have not noticed any bugs or spelliing errors yet.

[hankmecrankme]

Well for starters, does it have 480p? They like to remove that.

[asianxcore]

Well for starters, does it have 480p? They like to remove that.

Dudes on SRK have said so far they have not noticed anything different about the gameplay. Only differences were button presses were changed for pallet swaps and that there was no blood.

If I'm not mistaken the JPN 98UM had 480p support, but I've yet to test it out or hear anything about the US port.

I think I read that the blood letting was taken out (only a small handful of characters did anyway) and that the colors assigned to each button on char select is different. I think that was it, otherwise, they are the same.

[hankmecrankme]

So nothing worth avoiding it over? Nice, about time. And yeah, the JPN '98 UM definitely has 480p.

[asianxcore]

GG's to JEKKI. Sorry that Seth can be so annoying :)

Again, I was really surprised I even got one in versus your Blanka. Seth keep-away/distance game is tight.

Sorry to Gigan and Suko who sent me invites while I was playing JEKKI. Hopefully we can get some games in later.

[Furashu]

okay so after playin gauis in a rog vs rog match....

does the Jump in HP register to someone who is crouch blocking when they jump in Further?

ie. say i jump in and i land infront of his rog and HP, that would be blocked

vs i jump in HP but my landing position would be on top of his head, and that would hit?

cause i am 100% sure i was crouch blocking knowing his Jump In HP was coming but his still registered.

[JEKKI]

hey asian x core!! u suck!! t(-_-t)

seriously tho, fuck Seth lol

u cant play defensively against him otherwise you'll jus get fukked up...

you cant play offensively against him otherwise u'll jus get fukked up...

the only way to beat him is to close your eyes and start doing stupid shyt like a Ken scrub, it's crazy.

I was listening to Gootecks new podcast this morning, and they were discussing the legality of Seth and Gouken in competitions,

so yah, now I'm like fukk Seth. Seth can eat a dick and sum bullet lol

I cant understand you O_o

a jumping HP is a jumping HP no matter what, there are no other conditions that change it. Likewise standing or crouching.

so let's say you do a jumping HP, jumping moves hit high so if the opponent is blocking low, he gets hit, but if he is blocking high, he is able to block.

let's say you do a crouching HP, it hits low. If your opponent blocks high, he gets hit. If he blocks low, he blocks the attack.

It does not matter whether you walk up to him and do a crouching HP or jump in and do a crouching HP, it's all the same crouching HP.

or maybe you're thinking of frame recovery?? If you jump and land, you have a certain number of frames to recover before you can block or attack again... I think... landing may actually not have any frames in it...

but in theory, chances are you may have been in a situation where you had frame advantage and hit your opponent before he had the chance to block

[Furashu]

edit mystery solved.

jekki and 2 others explained it thanks

[JEKKI]

no matter where he lands, you will get hit becoz he hit you as an overhead. You need to block a jumping move high, not low.

the deepness/meatiness of the attack only affects combo opportunities for the person on offense.

(btw, meaty means an attack hitting on the last frames of the hitbox window)

as far as him landing, there are only two significant outcomes: land on your right, or land on your left.

if he lands on your left then the move is technically considered a cross up. I say technically becoz not all jumping moves can both jump over you and hit you at the same time. If his attack does not have a cross-up property, he will whiff his attack as he jumps over you and you will be unharmed.

if his move does have a crossup property, it's considered to have hit you on your left side, so if you are standing up and blocking away from your oppoenent, you will get hit becoz on cross-up your directional input is considered as walking towards your opponent.

ummmm... make sense??

[Furashu]

okay say the crouching guy is Crouching Blocking High,

the arrows are more of where he would land after he does the HP..

would the croucher block both hits?

btw jekki ure facing djboba can u PM him.

[MarkMan]

lol...

love the picture...

[zewone]

okay say the crouching guy is Crouching Blocking High,


*head asplodes*

[JEKKI]

yes, if you block high and you get attacked by a jump in, you will block the attack no matter how deep the attack is.

UNLESS it crosses up, then you would have to reverse your blocking direction since he's now hitting you from the other side.

btw fukking Dj Booba... I'm trying to download Lost and Sora Aoi rite now... gotta turn that shyt off... maaaaaaan....

[gigan54]

if he's jumping in on you and attacking, you NEED to block normally, not low otherwise you'll get hit. where he lands shouldn't really matter


edit:
wait, i thought boxer couldn't cross up?

[Furashu]

i just tried it out...........

jumped in shorter and Hp and it doesnt even register hell pull his arm back
jump right on the dude's head and itll register but if they go from crouching to blocking high itll block but if theyre doing standard DB block itll hit....

now i know. thanks for all your answers guys lol

boxer has no cross up with the hP or Hk... i tried jumping way over and doing it and he just punches the airrrrr

[Azumangaman]

Hey guys,

Are there any videos for Cammy's normal trials? I can't do #5...
Who knew a medium punch/crouch+kick could be so difficult?
At least I think its #5....

[Furashu]

try eventhubs i think they got all the videos of all the trials

Sure, I'm almost always down to play a few SFIV matches.

Just send me an invite if you see me online.

[RelentlessRolento]

been wondering the same... he kinda disapeared.... >_<

[trajin]

omg smallwind ur rose pisses me off:bomb: ggs :applause:

[SmallWind]

:rofl: Rose isn't that annoying. Other than the Rose vs Gief match.

[JEKKI]

dood I got fukked up by a Rose today.

there was a lot of lag, but still... without it I cant say whether or not I woulda won.

I always lose against safe players btw, all Blanka's good for is punishing. When someone plays safe, it neutralizes my playstyle...

so against safe players my strategy is to get as many throws as possible, and jus keep on keep on throwing them, but this Rose player tech'd all my throws!!!

I also lost a Blanka mirror match today, shyt was too silly.

I had him down to a pixel of health, and he had full meters so he started doing desperation supers.

He did his ultra, I blocked it, then he did his super and jus stayed there rolling, so I did my super and landed on top of his roll...

and took all his hits and died.

I was kinda like lol, never do that again

[SmallWind]

Last night I was playing a really buff cammy, and it came down to the wire for both of us in the third match. He got a knockdown on me, and started an ultra to get me on wakeup, which would have chipped me to death on the first hit.


That was when I learned that Ken's ultra > Cammy's. I felt so bad I apologized to him afterwards lol.

[MarkMan]

Don't import BlazBlue. Just get the US version. ;)

EDIT:

Same time.

I learned hurricane kick > cammy's ultra in the beginning 0_o.

[heavyd853]

Well it killed her, rather than went over the ultra. Like, it stopped her in her tracks and pow!

tatsus going over stuff is hilarous though.

[SmallWind]

Don't import BlazBlue. Just get the US version. ;)

EDIT:

Same time.:lol: Forgot about the simultaneous release for US/JP.

[Dandeschain]

Is KOFXII gonna be a simultaneous release as well?

California rest in peace...

[Furashu]

whats the best thing to do when both players are jumping towards each other mid air?
a MP? or HK?
i always get hit then the dude lands and whoops on me during wake up.

[option.iv]

Pick the move with the most horizontal reach. I believe mp is a sort of uppercut on Balrog, so no on that.

[Jimbo Slice]

I'm sorry, I really don't care what the conventional SF4 wisdom says. There is no way Vega (Claw) is the worst character in SF4.

[JEKKI]

well with the way people play Sagat online, there's no way he's the best character either.

[gigan54]

anybody with a decent zangief wanna play some sf4?

so, cuz of my loss yesterday i figure i'd try to find a strategy to beat the lariat. i think jump + hp beats out the lariat like 90% of the time. then again, i just did that through training mode. i want to see how that'll work in a real match

[Furashu]

Jekki and Bullish23?

anyone seen them? they gotta play a match asap lol


edit: wheres jekki bullish23 just checked in.

someone please notify jekki asap pleassssse

You play Honda, right? If you had SFIV on 360, I'd play you. :(

Friend of mine plays a really strong Honda against my Gief. I'm at work, but let me try to remember a few points about the matchup:
-Jump straight up fierce (I think, the one where Honda sticks his arms out) is buff as hell against Gief. It will beat the lariat many more times than it will lose, and at worst, it will trade. The only thing that I've found that will snuff it cleanly is st. rh, and that's only at a certain sweet distance. Otherwise, the st. rh will lose or trade.
-Don't get predictable with your st. rh, or Gief is gonna grab that leg and you'll eat a SPD.
-Don't go crazy with the butt bombs either. Very punishable on block, and the lariat can beat it clean in certain situations.
-Lariat neutralizes Honda's ultra. You'll just be headbutting into Gief's spinning body, and will then be hit after the animation finishes.
-Kick lariat beats headbutts clean. Punch ones may as well, but I think you have to wait until Honda is in deep.

For Honda to win this match, you need to capitalize every time you hit the jump up fierce. Follow up with the EX hands combo, then mix it up with a st. rh or ochio.

I second this... claw can be scary at times.


on the note of online: fuck you. I come home relaxed after a good day, hop online to play some SFIV, and I can't win any full matches and now it's made me super stressed.

I know I'm playing Dan and I'm not the world's greatest SF player out there, but I work out my shit and know I put more of an effort than most of my opponents.

I'm happy with my play style, I just hate hopw most online people play. aww fuck... I need to bang something to get rid of this stress :lol: :bomb:

[Furashu]

so when im watching rog matches and like the rog player jumps in and HP and lp lp and all that gets blocked, why does most of the time the rog player backs off instead of keeps trying to attack?
