General Fighting Game Thread IV Does 6.538 Billion Damage

[quote name='PhrostByte']Agreed. Can we get back to the legit real $$$$a SF talk?[/QUOTE]
Well they would, but they're horrible at it so they really have nothing to talk about.

If that's the case, then me and ReRo can resume where we left off.

@ReRo - $$$

EDIT: Anybody need a 48 hour XBL code, I received an extra? FGT only please.
 
[quote name='hankmecrankme']I really hope I don't fucking teleport when I do it.[/QUOTE]

Teleport fake -> Ultra dawg. Works every time.
 
[quote name='RelentlessRolento']No 3s hate here, just dudley hate.

i cant complain though cuz I got more alpha characters than 3s characters... thankfully.[/QUOTE]

There's always SSFIV Turbo or SFV... :cool:

[quote name='PhrostByte']Whoever banned me from the chan needs to volunteer themselves for a beating.[/QUOTE]

Can they fight back? If so, then it was totally me.

[quote name='hankmecrankme']I really hope I don't fucking teleport when I do it.[/QUOTE]

Oh god, I HATE it when I get a teleport instead of bison's ultra.
 
I just saw Ponyo. What a great movie. I enjoyed it more than Howl's Moving Castle, which was so rich with symbolism that I really didn't understand it.





Well, I needed to tell SOMEONE.
 
Any of you happen to run cps2HD on your phones? Just wondering how the controls are, that and online play with dark stalkers could/should be fun.
 
Hakan is fucking hilarious.

But I have to be honest, even though it's funny, I thought "Man, what a waste of a character spot"

ROLENTO?

NECROOOOOOO

Anyone notice how fucking happy Deejay looks being "oiled up"?

[quote name='RelentlessRolento']:lol: I honestly think Hakan will only appear in SFIV and never return.[/QUOTE]

Probably used too much oil and slid into a volcano or something. But I'd like to see him stick around for a while just to troll.
 
[quote name='Mr. Beef']I come back from a lack of internet, hoping to see some Hakan, and I get THIS!?[/QUOTE]

You got some OIL. What more do you want?!
 
Any of you got the balls to do something about blitz moderating the chan? Or are you going to continue enabling his idiocy?

EDIT: Just saw the Hakan trailer.. coolest idea for a fighting game character ever.

I knew you guys would hate on Hakan no matter how he came out. Would you really rather have some Third Strike freak than a cool new character? Can any of you think of a better idea for an SF character?

Not even gonna go there. :]

I'd rather it be Darth Vader.

Or Kratos!

I've been playing Marvel again, and I had to find out from someone who knows more about it than I do. Did they get rid of Cyclops' air SRK in the Live/PSN version, or have I been trippin for years?

I also gotta say I'm disappointed by Hakan. Can I think of a better SF char? Yeah how about a woman that isn't pure cheesecake? While she doesn't have to be as big as Rufus, it would be nice to have a thicker/bulky woman in the game.

And no I'm not some crazy chubby chaser, I just think the only thing more rare then a flat chested girl in a Video game is a thick woman in a video game.

Well having Alex back would be cool, but we got him in TvC so no biggie. Hakan looks goofy but no worse than Dans silly ass. His outfit reminds me of a Mad Max looking Hagger just with more flare. Won't judge him till I can get play him though.
 
" Akuma - Ex airfireball into U2 works. "

That would lead to some evil things happening.

" Ibuki - Slide does not go under fireballs, air knife does not cancel out fireballs. "
This is just pure and utter bs right here.

Tom most of us are double dipping so you shouldn't worry about it.
 
[quote name='LostRoad']" Akuma - Ex airfireball into U2 works. "

I'm not sure, most of the time when I throw EX airfireball it's mostly just to make them block.
 
I'm pretty happy with most of the news. I figured Blanka's U2 would be bad. I just hope they fixed a couple other things with him, for example free bullshit after cross-up balls in your face. Can't wait to try Hakan. Looks so fun. Let's get ready for the Dudley army. :)
 
Looks like they're still shitting on Vega, it seems. *longest sigh ever*

And that kinda stinks about Tony Hawk's Ultra 2. I wonder if the startup is slow, or something? It's supposed to be an anti-air Ultra, after all.
 
[quote name='PhrostByte']Let's get ready for the Dudley army. :)[/QUOTE]
Pfft. Everyone will still play Ryu.

Sakura getting J.MK crossup is awesome. Finally I won't have to go nuts trying to land J.LK crossup, plus I get more options out of the reset, sweet.
 
Love the options Rose now has off the soul reflect. I can finally put her ultra to good use.

Sucks about Vega though. Looks like I'll have to find a new 2nd character now.

You forgot Ken and Sagat. When are people going to stop using those three? They have to give Sagat and Ken a Sean level nerf to even make people consider switching.

Not this time, sorry dude. =\

Considering how quickly SFIV's price dropped for the 360 last time, I may pick it up later though!

"Ryu - Ryu's medium and hard dragon punches hit twice now. Damage is down on it, but if you FADC, you only get one hit from it, so damage is down even farther. Trades to ultra from DP are gone, and most trades into ultra from SF4 are gone, but not all. Puts you in a floaty state, and you cant combo afterwards.

Ken - He is not looking good. They didnt give him much. He cannot FADC to Ultra2 normally. He didnt get crazy kicks from previous SF games. They slightly improved his fireball.

Chun li - She got 'infinitely better'. U2 combos easily all day. The upkicks target combo goes into U2, as well as EX legs anywhere on the screen. Its very dangerous. U2 gets all 20 hits every time, if it whiffs for a while and you get hit by the very end of it, you still take the full damage.

Guile - He seems to have been given nothing. Sonic Hurricane, his U2 is not good. Super into U2 is the only known combo into it. Down+Taunt puts on glasses, but doesnt give him any buffs or advantages.

Zangief - Very similar. He could lariat trade into U2 in earlier builds, but he cannot anymore. Rufus and tall characters can block his lariat low and punish with a crouching RH.

Rose - She can juggle off soul reflect into air throw or U1 or ex fireball. U2 is very good. Can corner juggle into orbs. Each orb can hit once before it dissipates, including on block. They do about 20% damage each on full ultra. Wiz noted that he needs to check what happens when projectiles hit them. When the orbs activate, there is a delay before you can do special moves again, including throw. They delay felt like 3-4 seconds. Orbs cross up very easy. Rose seemed powerful.

Blanka - Seemed the same, new ultra isnt that great, can get thrown out of it.

Honda - Noticed no changes, cant jump on reaction to U2.

Dhalsim - He seemed the same. U2 hit box is prttty small. Super hard to hit.

Balrog - U2 jumpable on reaction to activation. His U2 is bad, it has terrible range. Seemed too hard to land to be worth giving up U1.

Vega - Seemed the same. His Claw stays on a lot longer now, though. Ex dive off the wall doesnt go through opponent anymore.

Sagat - He does marginal less damage overall. Scar-uppercut does double damage, nothing more. If you do scar move, you cant do it again until you uppercut, but you can store the powered up state the entire round if you want. forward + RH still juggle state.

Bison - J.Strong into U2 works. Its not a charge motion so its very handy. U2 is a blockable stomp attack, and it can crossup! It hits hard, too! No known nerfs.

Rufus - Ex messiah kick is not as good, but still good. A few frames less on invincibility, and less damage. EX snake strike damage is way down. U2 doesnt seem to combo well. U2 is good anticrossup or antiair, but thats about it. Has to work for wins now

Fuerte - Fuertes normals are all faster now. U2 is extremely good.

Viper - No notable changes. She can U2 off EX seismo if you are fast. The recovery from U2 is ok. Rumors of mp thunder nerf are untrue or reversed, if its slower its only a frame or two.

Abel - He has a faster c.hk. U2 cant combo but its fast and has armor if you hold the button, it looks to be very good.

Guy - Feels slow. Has cool chain combos into super. EX spin kick is vertical. EX shoulder is his best move, super fast.

Cammy - Cannon drill 'got a little better'. Uppercut damage nerfed pretty hard. U2 is terrible. U2 can be broken by using breaker.

Fei - Changes not apparent. Counter ultra can be broken by a breaker.

Gouken - No known nerfs. U2 still blockable, but backthrow into 5 hits of it into wallbounce into more fun works.

Sakura - Her crossup j.mk is back. Very good crossup. Makes her feel more like sakura again. U2 is the best choice. Its two ultras in one, okay damage, easy to combo, can aim it up or forward. EX hurricane to ultra is simple as hell.

Dan - Dan is secretly way better now, he got what he needed. Uppercut fadc U2 is strong. His fireball goes 60% of the screen now. The rest seems untouched, but this is 'all he needed' to be a contender.

Akuma - no known nerfs. Many of the nerfs from earlier builds were reverted. Infinite is gone, but you can still combo after s.hk. Jab cannot link to HK anymore, so you cant loop it. Lv2 focus into new ultra wiffs, but works from Lv3 focus. EX airfireball into U2 works.

Gen - Only nerfs found so far, no chain combos, no mk .kick to hands at all. ex wall dive lost some invincibility.

Seth - Everything is the same, except his focus attack takes longer to hit lv2 now. Its not very good. U2 can combo anywhere you could combo stomps and does good damage.

Juri - Kara throw is good with HP. Wiz could only find a 5 hit Custom Combo in U1 mode without FADC. U1 mode is really long in duration. EX wheelkick seems nearly instant startup. Hitpoints seemed close to Ibuki's, but it was hard to tell.

T.Hawk - Hawkdive is his armor breaker. Hawk Upper cannot be FADCed at all, ever, at any point. U2 is bad, very very hard to hit. Feels slower than Zangief but stronger. His normals are very good.

Adon - He seems very weak. Both ultras are hard to use. Jaguar Tooth and Jaguar Kick are both unsafe on block. Air Jag-kick might be safe. EX jag kick is safe. Has a very good overhead though, one of the best.

Deejay - He seems decent. Nothing too bad, nothing too good. Reminds you of ST in that way.

Cody - He can only FADC tornado on first hit and the tornado wont come out. He cannot combo ultra after it. Has 3 levels of charge on his Zonk Knuckle, and its really really good and annoying. He says BINGO everytime he does it. You can combo into Zonk. HK ruffian is good.

Dudley - Not much to add to JWong's video, but he is probably #1 in the game.

Makoto - EX grab has 1 hit of armor! Outside of this, nothing to add to JWong's video.

Ibuki - Slide does not go under fireballs, air knife doesnt cancel out fireballs.

Hakan - Seems OK at first. Looks like hellboy red and is kinda fat. Has spiky hair. Has a 360 move where he puts you in his arms and sqeezes you out with oil slicked body. you fly across the screen at a 45 degree angle. He can slide along the ground face first and hit punch during for a followup (only when oiled up). Has an air grab where he belly flops. DP+K puts on more oil. He takes out both hands and dumps oil on himself and it looks funny. He then glows white. When he has oil, he is 200% better. putting oil on takes half a second, and its duration based. EX oil lasts a long time. In non-oil mode, he is like gief. When he is in Oil Mode, he can chain everything, like c.lk x4 into mp. Moves in oil mode have more range, including 360. Front and backdash are better in oil mode too. All of his pokes have neutral and toward versions. Has a 'trap' ultra, where he lays down, and if you step on him, he grabs you. You cannot touch him at all, even if not attacking. You slip on his stomach like its ice. Then he 69s you as you slide along the ground and you fly out his buttocks.

The 2nd ultra is comedy as well. 720 motion, throws you up in the air and you board the OIL COASTER. You ride him going around his body till you are ejected into a wall at the end.

His super is double fireball with kick. Its a leaping grab thats crouchable, like Alex DDT he leaps at you."
Glad to hear that ryu's bs trades to ultra are gone lol. :) Great news for rose, dan, chun-li players. Bad news for gen and guile players.[/QUOTE]

EDIT: I see it's the final build now, missed that. So they took out Guile's flash kick that had higher priority and went further? Wow.

[quote name='PhrostByte']Let's get ready for the Dudley army. :)[/QUOTE]

He can't chuck plasma, it's still going to be all Ryu.

[quote name='Paco']You forgot Ken and Sagat. When are people going to stop using those three? They have to give Sagat and Ken a Sean level nerf to even make people consider switching.[/QUOTE]

You haven't played online lately, have you? It's all Ryu, when I fight a Ken or Sagat it's actually a refreshing change of pace.

I was hoping that Honda would have some buffs but I guess not. I know invincible headbutt ala HD Remix wouldn't be practical with the engine but I wouldn't mind better startup invincibility on the buttstomp a knockdown st.HK. Just something.

I'm really happy they didn't change much with Balrog though. :)
 
[quote name='JEKKI']Hey it's King Dox!!!

dood let's go to Fathers Office!![/QUOTE]

Yeah, hit me up a PM on when you're free and I'll be down to go and talk games and life over a beet.

Also I think I am going to double dip. Its not that big a deal since I picked up SF4 for cheap in the first place.
 
[quote name='KingDox']I also gotta say I'm disappointed by Hakan. Can I think of a better SF char? Yeah how about a woman that isn't pure cheesecake? While she doesn't have to be as big as Rufus, it would be nice to have a thicker/bulky woman in the game.
