FGT # 12 is milky shakable. ice cream ice cream ice cream on top.

Okay, I'm playing Street Fighter IV's arcade mode. Basically the first time I've played much SF, I'm shitty. Can anyone give me some broad guidelines of how to begin to suck ass less? As a shitty fighter player there's just stuff I don't get--like when fighting Abel or Zangief, I can do all this shit to them but then they'll throw me twice and I'll lose all my HP, and I can't seem to stop being thrown at all besides staying crouched--and sometimes they'll throw me a second time literally right after the first throw ends, and I can't do anything at all. Also what does it mean when my opponent starts flashing yellow.

Who are you playing as?
A lot of times, you need to play keep away with those big fuckers.
(This is why we're all talking about the insane grab range Zangief's jab SPD just got in AE.)

For example, if you're playing with Ryu or Ken, you can throw fireballs until he tries to jump over them. If he jumps, you can anti-air with a standing roundhouse (I think) or any dragon punch, etc.

You can exploit the computers AI if you want on lower levels by using focus attacks as they walk in to throw you (hold MP and MK) -- this will crumple them and give you a free shot (since you're a beginner, just take the free hit. if you're Ryu/Ken, you can fierce dragon punch or crouching roundhouse, for example).

Also, if they're using regular throws, not command throws (example: Zangief's SPD vs any other throw he uses, I think), you can tech the throw by attempting a throw at the same time (LP+LK).

When you get a little better at the game, you can throw a slow fireball with Ryu/Ken and follow it in to get close, jump in with roundhouse, the sweep with crouching roundhouse.
 
Yeah, I'm playing as Ryu. Abel gave me a shitload of trouble and now I'm stuck on Zangief. If I stand up, he either throws me to forever or does that spinny $$$gy thing. If I crouch down he smacks me with that green uppercutty thing until I get up, then throws me. :( I try staying away but he just keeps right on me all day.

First problem is it's the CPU, they have godlike reactions depending on the difficulty but are easily exploitable. To get out of the command throws just jump or backdash when you see it coming (against a player, not CPU). When they turn yellow, it means they doing an EX versions of a move which gives it different properties. The properties vary from move to move and character to character.

1) Try out Ryu. You may or may not like him, but he pretty much has all of the tools you would want to practice with.
2) You can throw Abel out of his ground roll at any point. This is very important to remember. His tornado throw is a special command, which means you can't throw-tech it. Most Abels, computer or not, will try and do his kick-dash into a throw, but you can hit him before he can throw, or jump before the throw.

Against Gief, try to not stay close at all and zone the fuck out of him. Use projectiles if you have them. His green hand move isn't particularly safe on block, so you can spam throw after he does it. Don't jump in on him, since most of the time you're just going to eat a lariat.
3) Yellow moves are EX moves, and almost all of them have special properties (projectile invincibility, faster start-up, etc).
 
Just experienced my first "disconnecting after a loss because he can't stand defeat" online when, after his Vega kicked my Ryu's ass, I beat the shit out of Adon with Cammy.

I'm mostly playing with Ryu because, well, it's Ryu and stuff like Hadoken/Shoryuken/etc are engrained in my head, but I'm also playing with Cammy--I like using her because she moves fast and even though I don't know any of her moves yet I can get by a little by staying on the move and using kicks.

Never met anyone from Australia but I imagine they look like your typical white European... Israel's got some nice girls, especially when they rock those burkas... :drool:
 
[quote name='MarkMan']Canadian girls. Mmm.[/QUOTE]


Yeah, Canada is now my favorite place to pick up women. It's like hot european ladies next door.

Plus the girl to guy ratio is hugely in any guy's favor.

Any form of body contact is being a big thing as well. Giving the hispanic "hello" greeting pretty much blew away every girl away I met up there lol
 
[quote name='PhrostByte']Oh ok.. yeah Russian folks do that too.[/QUOTE]

Yeah, in Canada people are a bit more midwestern in terms of propperness. But yeah, go to canada man, you'll swoon prob 20 model looking girls in your first 5 min honestly.

Its too easy up there :cool:
