Anyone ever reached a point where you know you're doing everything better than before, but feel there's a plateau you still just can't reach?

That's me. I don't know why I keep going online when I'm clearly not up to scratch. For some reason I can pull off combos leading into Supers and Ultras in training and arcade on medium. Hell I can finish arcade on medium without going to a continue but when I go online I look like the ultimate scrub and can't link combos, and can't connect with moves. I'm positive it's a mental thing, I do feel the pressure a little when I want to close a round, and I just don't pull off the special moves that I can do effectively in training. I think I've improved my defensive game a lot though, normally my opposition would find it really easy to land combos but I learnt that defense is just as important as offense in this.

Think I won't play as many online games for the time being, I just end up getting so frustrated in myself and certain players using cheap moves to secure the win. I know I need to play more games, especially training on counter attacking effectively after seeing certain special moves being performed. I can see in my minds eye how to do it too but in practice.

I dunno, I just feel like I've done enough to actually win a good number of games I participate in. Perhaps the community out there is just too elite for me that I could not hope to compete. I'm sure I'll feel different tomorrow, usually do, but for now it just feels that way. Still fun to play though.

Look what I've found, this girl's name's Sherry and she's a Street Fighter player herself. She was interviewing this guy (another SF player) who had just lost a match. Well, look what happens:



Ps: There's another video where she says she has "parrying skills"

See I would have gone with the Shoryuken. What a sight that would be

Think I won't play as many online games..

found your problem right there. When it comes to fighting games, playing 'local' is always a good place to train. Get some friends (pref who are equally on your level or better) and practice with them. I can't quite explain it myself, but it is different, because you can talk to your opponent directly and get input/feedback/insight on your level of play.

if you keep on "choking" on matches, then simply relax...  I'd say don't aim on trying to land combos, and just focus on doing damage... if you mess up a string/combo starter, DO NOT attempt it again and again in a match, it will just throw you off, and you will become readable like an open book. If you're trying to close a match, don't hurry, the timer is your friend. If it is a very close round, and both of you are just 1 tick away from a KO, dont get stressed

in a fairly balanced game like SF (4 or otherwise), there's no such thing as a 'cheap', there's are effective and not-so effective... don't feel bad about spamming tigers or srks, its your opp's problem if they can't handle them. case in point, "Flowchart Ken", people sure love to complain about it a while back, but it has died down, because they learned the game, and they've gotten around it, and stopped losing to it.

So when you see an akuma online, showering you hadous, dont get frustrated, its not his fault that that's the only way he knows how to play the game. But it is your fault for not trying to figure out an exploit (hint: akuma has shit health)

don't lose hope.. go to training mode... learn every normal, look at distance and range, take note of the difference between a short tatsu and a roundhouse tatsu, etc... even better, know the record input function of the training mode? use that, like, have ken do 10 srk's in a row, and try out which 'counter's work best on every situation (distance, jump, etc..)

but my best advice is to just have fun. we may never be the next top 8's in Evo/SBO/etc, but at least enjoy trying to.


then again, what do i know i've been playing SF/Fighting games non-stop since i was in gradeschool, and i still suck

[Tuffty]

Cheers ronin! I am under no illusions whatsoever as to ever hope to compete in EVO, it's just I like to think I can hold my own against friends or online competition otherwise the purchase for me is rather redundant. At the moment it's just not working out that way. I think the best thing to do is just be a good sport about it, and people have been willing to offer rematches, often playing as Ryu to see how their approach works and I can use the replays to watch later.

El Fuerte's a great character! Was playing as him earlier in Arcade mode and he's a pretty good character. Similar inputs for his specials and ultras as Ryu so easy to just get into. Have to remember that his lack in projectile attacks is made up for with his Hyperarmour when doing his EX Dash. Right now my focus is winning with Ryu, and using other characters sparingly in Trial mode before hitting the arcade on Easy if I get bored. Who knows, maybe that way I'll find a new main character for me that way.

Also:



Is it wrong that the first thing I noticed was Cammy's butt?

or it could just be referencing the characters already released on console since they never saw an arcade release. just a thought, kotaku.

[pikapikapika]

It's not talking about the characters added to the console version - like Dudley  - because those are already pictured.

laura bailey is back as chun faek yeh!

[Tuffty]

We've been told the flyer is the work of Capcom's arcade division, which acts independently from other divisions.

But there's nothing stopping Capcom patching new characters into the home console version at some point, and, of course, making them available for a fee.

Super Street Fighter 4 arcade location tests start this weekend in Japan, apparently, so we should know if any new characters are in the works soon.

Are there any SF characters left to make a return or do they have to make new ones?
