    So. I like to play as e honda. ad I figured I'd do the challenges for him... has anyone gotten past the one where you have to do a sumo headbutt followed by a super killer head ram... basically his charge headbut followed by his super charge headbutt... can someone explain the timing to me :/

    I can get the first part which is jump in with a kick, crouch kick, headbut, but then I need to end it with a super headbutt... but how? I start charging it as soon as I fire off the headbutt, but no way it'll be charged in time. I'm confused.

    same as guile comboing flash kick -> double flash kick I'd assume... that is, Back (charge) forward + punch then quickly back -> forward punch. If you're trying to charge a 2nd time, you're doing it wrong. The 2nd back-> forward punch has to be really fast, like cancelling out of a normal into special fast.

    so the charge back + forward of the initial headbut counts as the first half of the super? so charge back, forward, punch, back, forward, punch?

    i did not know you could do that.

    Holy fuck!! Is it just me or is Seth nearly fucking impossible to beat with El Fuerte? I've beaten Seth on Medium and Hard a ton of times with multiple other characters. I set the difficulty down to Very Easy and One round fights so I could unlock characters and beat Arcade mode with everyone.

    Even on fucking Very Easy Seth demolishes El Fuerte, I'm pretty decent with him, its not like I didn't know wtf I was doing with Fuerte, but I lost to Seth at least 20 god damn times.

    I was eventually able to beat him by just spamming Fuerte's Fajita Buster I think it was (Quarter Circle Forward + Punch, then Fierce Punch) on him continuously before he even got up off the floor so that it hit him the very second he stood up. If I gave him even a split second he would either Shoryuken then go into his fucking bullshit teleport grab routine.

    God damn! I fucking hate Seth, such an insanely cheap boss. I can't think of any other SF bosses as fucking cheap as him.

    Yep, it works with (most) charged supers. Balrog can do this too IIRC. As long as your character technically hasn't left the ground yet. So it wouldn't work (obviously?) for someone like Vega... and I'm pretty sure Bison can't do it either.

    Ok, I'm sitting in the training thing just trying that part of it over and over and can't get it at all. any advice on the timing? should I be trying to input this as fast as possible?

    cancel after the first hit. You basically have to buffer the stick motion while your hitting punch. Its best to "negative edge" it where instead of doing two button presses you pres and hold for the first punch and then do the motion and release the button at the end to trigger the move. you gotta be quick.

    Hmmm, just fought a guy who picked Seth and decided that letting me kick him in the face repeatedly was the best way to victory.

    I even got a perfect out of it.

    anyone want to beat my Blanka Ass? I seem to not be able to deal with fireball spammers. I need more practice.

    Some dude did the trial challenges for all the characters, and put them on youtube. Suuuuper helpful if you are trying to get that one trial down and can't seem to figure it out.

    i beat seth on medium after about ten tries, using a variety of characters (got him with Ryu, lots of jump in HKs), and after that i'm not going to bother. i don't want to do it without using continues, or even try harder arcade difficulties. retarded.

    *psst* Please add me to your friending list. I am calling it a night though (and if I turn my PS3 on again just to add you, I will probably play for another 3-4 hours). Been trying to go for the 10 ranked wins in a row trophy and just screwed up the second time on fight 10. First time I just got cocky, and picked Cammy instead of Blanka...got ass reamed... Second time, my opponent picked someone other than a shoto....AND I JUST GOT CONFUSED ON HOW TO PLAY AGAINST HIM. I'd be less sore about it if this guy's Honda was like Ah Pook's Honda or something, but it was just shitty shit shit.

    Playing unranked matches seems to have me wading through a sea of losers. If someone sticks around for more than 2 or 3 matches I usually use a character I'm not good with to give them a chance, but any time I pick Ryu, Sagat, Balrog, or E. Honda I usually have no problem winning and a lot of times perfecting.

    Pretty sure he probably does at least one of those...at least, I'd assume he does.

    Now then. Whats the proper way to unlock Gouken? I've got Akuma, so whats the method?

  • ElementalorElementalor Registered User regular
    edited February 2009
    From the OP:

    Gouken: After finishing the game with Gouki, defeat Gouken
    [For one-round matches: at least one perfect, no continues, at least a certain number of Ultra finishes]

    one perfect and 3 ultras didn't work for me, I got it with 2 perfects and 2 ultras.(Using Akuma)

    At least I'm not the only one who noticed that. I ran into someone with a name along the lines of The Shadow Devil or some such and sure enough they picked Akuma.

    I've just surgically sliced thru about 7 Akumas all using the standard old school retreating air fireball stuff that seems like a total joke vs Abel. I can close way too much ground too fast for that strat to do much of anything but set them up for some focus attack rapings in the corner.
