i have been trying to learn this. Chun Li's ultra is impossible. Although I'm beginning to think fighting games are just not for me.

Getting the rhythm of those charge ultras is a little weird at first, but you can get it down. I don't know if I can describe it well, but it's you hold (DOWNBACK), then you go BACK, FORWARD, BACK+PUNCH, your stick/pad movement should be (HOLD), TAP-TAP-TAP.
The easiest way to mess up that kind of Ultra is to "roll" the joystick inputs so instead of going right-left-right, you're going RIGHT-down-LEFT-UPLEFT-LEFT-down-RIGHT or some such. Open practice mode and turn on the inputs so you can see what you're doing.

I got AE on 360. Who's down?
― Nhex, Thursday, 30 June 2011 05:09 (twelve years ago) link
not got AE yet, still figuring out the previous one. Not sure i can justify the price tag for just four more characters either.
also thanks for the info up top. i watched some tutorials (yes i'm THAT much of a noob on these games) on the web, actually it was for MvC3, but some of the basics were worth knowing.
also i was trying ultra on arcade versions that might not have actually included ultra option, doh.
getting better
― Ste, Thursday, 30 June 2011 09:10 (twelve years ago) link
well. played my first on line session last night. pretty spectacular failure. must have played in excess of a hundred bouts and didn't win a single one.
i was choosing ranked match which i presume means it tries to find opponents of similar level. this didn't appear to be the case at all, everyone seemed to be a complete expert at delivering the right special moves and at the right times.
bullshit really.
― Ste, Saturday, 2 July 2011 16:22 (twelve years ago) link
sorry man! SF can be brutal no matter what level you're at. i still occasionally get nights where I'll go 1 for 20 if I'm lucky. what character(s) are you playing as? have you tried doing the challenge modes for that character to nail down some of the basic combos and setups?
ppl doing ranked are generally in it for raising points, you might want to give the player lobbies a try as they might be more relaxed (though, not necessarily, there are still good ppl playing in non-ranked)
― Nhex, Saturday, 2 July 2011 20:55 (twelve years ago) link
i'm trying to stick with chun li as I've learnt her moves, but i just don't get chance to perform them in the live battles. in the training room i'm fine haha
i'll try the challenge modes, is that similar to the mission modes in MvC3?
I kept getting matched with the same players too, to a point where one guy actually disconnected when he saw my name again.

Ultra comes out at the end of the month. Hooray for costumes and Poison?I can't believe AE came out THREE YEARS ago, damn. I almost want to commend Capcom for their restraint, but you know they're gonna do something for X1/PS4.

Hadn't heard about the new delayed wake-up mechanic; that could really change the game significantly.
― Nhex, Wednesday, 19 March 2014 15:20 (ten years ago) link
Of course, people who already thought SFIV was too defensive-minded will probably be even more annoyed...
― Nhex, Wednesday, 19 March 2014 15:21 (ten years ago) link
I'm not sure about it. Near-unblockable cross-ups were a major problem, but delayed wakeup makes normal cross-ups worse as well.
― qwop zapatos (abanana), Thursday, 20 March 2014 16:40 (ten years ago) link
Even on cross-up, the delay still grants more control to the knocked-down player, doesn't it?

Ultra SF4 day 1 surprises

not a surprise
i think i'm gonna wait for physical release of Ultra
― Nhex, Thursday, 5 June 2014 16:57 (ten years ago) link
Well it was a surprise to him.
I am disappointed by Ultra. Same outdated netcode and they didn't fix unblockables properly.

Mad Catz has the 360/PS3 TEs on sale for $80 this weekend. Kind of tempted to get one, even though I know it's stupid now that PS4/X1 sticks are surely going to be announced by the end of the year...
― Nhex, Saturday, 7 June 2014 22:32 (ten years ago) link
Didn't even realize they announced a PS4/PS3 stick for USFIVhttp://www.joystiq.com/2014/06/05/mad-catz-ultra-street-fighter-4-stick-to-feature-ps3-ps4-toggle/
― Nhex, Sunday, 8 June 2014 04:08 (ten years ago) link
But hmm. 360 version of the new TE won't be XB1-compatible. weird.
― Nhex, Sunday, 8 June 2014 04:11 (ten years ago) link
I was going to buy the TE for 360 last night, but they sold out. Ah well, maybe if they're on sale again around Evo. It's really tempting to wait until next year to get back into the fighting genre on PS4 w/the likely port of USFIV, Guilty Gear Xrd, MKX coming out
I'll probably come back here around August looking for matches

Louffy won USF4 at Evo. Pad Rose player from France.
― Rrrhhhh (abanana), Monday, 14 July 2014 05:27 (nine years ago) link
holy crap, i can't wait to watch that

but i will because i am exhausted for the night
― Nhex, Monday, 14 July 2014 05:57 (nine years ago) link
srsly tho Rose is my main since OG SFIV and Luffy's m/l the only famous Rose player, i'm amazed
― Nhex, Monday, 14 July 2014 06:00 (nine years ago) link
did he really use a PS1 controller and how is this possible

thanks - i was thinking about watching Top 8 and then realized it would be like four hours
― Nhex, Wednesday, 16 July 2014 01:31 (nine years ago) link
awesome!man i bet most of those watching have no idea how hard it is to dominate with Rose like that, the concentration, perfect spacing and reading you need to win with her. don't know of her changes in Ultra, i'm gonna guess her MK/c.MK got better?love that Luffy is giving Tokido a run for his murderfacealso, come on EVO, his name is spelled correctly right on his shirt!who is this Bonchan guy?
― Nhex, Wednesday, 16 July 2014 02:05 (nine years ago) link
i was wondering, so I checked - this IS the first time a pad player has won Evo SF i could swear a pad Gief won ST Remix a couple years back, but maybe that doesn't count since it was relatively small
― Nhex, Wednesday, 16 July 2014 02:09 (nine years ago) link
actually making me rethink trying to adjust (not well) to stick for the past year or so, maybe I should just go back to pad
― Nhex, Wednesday, 16 July 2014 02:10 (nine years ago) link
Nhex if I were to get one of these (on PC) which version should I plump for? I am a total fighting game newb aside from mashing buttons in arcades in a distant youth.
― thomasintrouble, Wednesday, 16 July 2014 10:45 (nine years ago) link
The newest version, Ultra Street Fighter IV, comes out on August 8, so I would wait for that. If you see a good deal in the meantime for the last version, Super Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition, it will be upgradeable to Ultra via DLC
― Nhex, Wednesday, 16 July 2014 13:57 (nine years ago) link
Picked up Ultra, hit me up if you want to spar (on 360)
― Nhex, Tuesday, 19 August 2014 19:21 (nine years ago) link
There's a new type of option select discovered that lets you block, throw tech, or do an invincible special move (using FADC) depending on what the other guy does. RIP Street Fighter IV

So apparently the PS4 port of Ultra is some hot garbage. Capcom should've known better than to outsource it..
