got the 10 ranked win achievement with honda, rolling over scrub after scrub. the 10th match was actually a 5 rounder against a decent ibuki that went down to the 5th round, which was tense/rad.

also, honda's throw ultra loses out to a meaty focus attack on wakeup. so thats something.

I was doing that with Chun before. Got up to match 10. Freaking Sagat. Totally messed me up. I got too used to just having my way with the scrubs and was all jump-in happy and being retarded. :? I don't think I'm going to try to get that achievement again this time. I remember the stress of doing it in Vanilla and I didn't even know what the hell I was doing then. (not that I know anything now)

Evil Multifarious · May 2010

fighting fireball characters with dudley is actually extremely fun, because ducking under them is immensely satisfying, and punishing a fireball by ducking under and throwing is like having a small orgasm.

So, while my 360 gets fixed, I am on the Streets on PS3! So, hit me up please for fights if you're around.

I'm still making silly inputs on the ps3 controller as it's different, but I should be somewhat of a match for some people.

Plus, you guys need more on PS3, ya?

You sticking with Bison, Biz?

I'm finding him stupidly good in Super and enjoying playing him much more than in vanilla because i dont have to play 3 times as good as my opponent to beat them anymore.

I've had some gaudy win streaks already but still having a little trouble with run away shotos

Yes, I am. I rely on somewhat fast characters with good pokes I can play zoning games with, so he fits the bill.

I feel so powered up with him from vanilla, it's ridiculous (despite mistaken inputs on the PS3 controller).

I've got the 10-peat on both systems already, it's like cutting down scrub after scrub without blinking.

Professor Snugglesworth · May 2010

Does anyone else see fit to automatically block any Ranked players who set their matches to 1 round only?

Motherfuckers can go die in a fire.

Jubeh · May 2010

I always search for custom games with 99 minutes two rounds because I hate getting stuck in those 30 second single round games.

klokateer9047 · May 2010

My lobbies are set to 3 out of 5,gives me more of a chance to make a come back.

Just go to arcade mode and turn on fight requests. You'll get games pretty much nonstop, you'll unlock taunts and colors if the SP round finishes loading, and you don't need to keep making lobbies or searching.

Fig-D · May 2010

I only do best 3 of 5 if the lobby is limited to 2-3 people. Otherwise it takes way too long for your turn to come back around again. I stick with the default 99% of the time.

Kai_San · May 2010

Wow, I didnt realize this game had that much combo depth.

They just seem really hard to do, but that shit looked pretty.

I don't do that mainly because I hate fighting the AI and I hate when people with bad connections challenge me.

Have you tried it in Super? It's a LOT better. They really did some work on making sure you get paired up with people with optimum connections, and I've yet to actually finish the first match in Arcade Mode because there are so many people online.

Your mileage may vary, but if I'm doing Ranked I just throw myself into the fight requested Arcade Mode.

Seriously this is the way to go.

Just set Requests to Ranked and you're set. You can see if anyone connects with < 3 bars and just kick them, another player will be along in seconds.

Fig-D we gotta have an Ibuki mirror match sometime. She's my new main, possible the most fun character I've ever played. I'm having a hard time forcing myself to play as my old Ryu.

Jubeh · May 2010

Okay I will try it. Btw fig-d I saw you on the list of players while searching for ranked matches but it said unable to connect. ): I wanted to fight you.

Anyone who wants to write a guide for how to configure mirc to work with the channel for the people who are client shy will have their guide put in the OP! I don't use mirc and am too lazy to do it myself.

TyrantCow · May 2010

okay

juri is... interesting

really hard to get in on shotos

How to get mIRC working

Step 1: Go to http://www.mirc.com/ and click Download mIRC and install it. Just do all the basic stuff and let it do its thing. It's pretty fast.

Step 2: Go file > select server. Under connect, click on servers. Then click the Add button that appears on the right. Under description, put whatever you want. Under IRC server, put irc.slashnet.org, ports put 6667, and for group put #PAFighting. Password leave blank. Hit ok when done.

Step 3: Click connect again on the left menu, and fill out the nickname box and other info (I had to also do full name and email before it stopped giving me shit. I also unchecked invisible mode in case it did what it sounded like). Click the connect button under those info boxes, and wait a sec. A box should pop up asking what channel to join. Enter #PAFighting and click join. That should do it. If you get an error at this step, you may have to reopen the server select menu, click on firewall, and add port 6667. I had to, but your mileage may vary.

FuriousJodo · May 2010

Using Region to help determine matches really helps a lot, it's not the best system but at the very least it helps make sure you will probably atleast be playing someone in the same country.

Kevin Crist · May 2010

So.. Is DownBack still the Bane of Cammy players? I just fought a 3.6k BP Cammy and won with my scrub Gouken. Does she have any new options in super?

FuriousJodo · May 2010

She seems pretty much the same to me if not slightly nerfed. Her new Ultra brought nothing to the table, her cannon spike got nerfed, and most of her Ultra damage comes from the final hit now so comboing into her Ultra isn't as good either.

Antihippy · May 2010

Well, if fei long activated his counter ultra cammy could counter ultra his counter ultra.

So that's something new to the table. :lol:

FuriousJodo · May 2010

(Worthless Ultra)^2 = Worthless Ultra?

Caenem · May 2010

Juri's counters seem cool in theory, but damn hard to apply in practice. I was thinking they were as awesome as Gouken's counters but they break so damn easily. I tried for the last hour to work them into my admittedly noob Juri game and I was getting destroyed.

Things I've noticed with Juri:
Being a non pinwheel spammer seems to confuse alot of people
A halfway decent Makoto wrecks my world. If I played my old standby Gen I could work the troublesome Makoto's over, but damn they just scare my Juri
Claws treat me like I'm made of hot lava. I had a couple Vegas tonight stay as far away from me as possible at all times. I need to figure out why they're so damn afraid.
I love her standing roundhouse. That little shuffle hop adds just enough range to the kick.

Sivraj · May 2010

Juri's seem to give my Makoto a little trouble.

Store fireballs, EX pinwheel at random times (lol you tried to choke me? EX Pinwheel!), Dive kicking whenever i'm focusing. Those are the things that pop up in my head.

I think that I could see into infinity.

I actually managed to EX karakusa her EX pinwheel once. I absorbed one hit and grabbed her.

The timing is hard so don't depend on it too much, if at all.

Can a sistah get a good overhead? goddamn

FuriousJodo · May 2010

I don't main her anymore so it's hard to say though, I think she's fine as a character. I do think a number of her normals got buffed, but I am not sure which ones.

Katana-sr · May 2010

Cammy got a reliable crossup with jumping lk now. Standing hk and standing close hk were buffed, and spin knuckle comes out a bit faster now.
Couldn't test it myself yet because my copy still hasnt arrived, but most other cammy mainers think capcom did a good job.
U2 may be kinda dumb but it helps in some of cammy's worst matchups (shuts down Gief wakeup pressure for example).

mynameisguido · May 2010

I wish that the character I liked playing the most was also the one I could win with the most.

Unfortunately, doesn't seem to be the case for Juri. For example, I basically started playing Ryu just for shits without spending any time in training with him and I'm doing twice as good as I was with Juri. Same thing with Sakura.

Captain K · May 2010

Any other scrubs online? Interested in a crappy player lobby on XBL?

Masume · May 2010

Got my tenpeat today, rounding out the win with a very good non flowchart Ken, actually...damn close on those matches!

...and christ, I hate fighting Honda with a passion. Ran into two good ones tonight, and he wrecked my Bison. Hard to play air games with him, going offensive usually ends up with an EX headbutt to the face, and when he gets close the slappy hands come out, forcing me back on the defense. I think I hate fighting him more now than Guile with Bison. >,>

FuriousJodo · May 2010

So browsing around through Youtubes, my latest peeve (actually it has been one for a while), is people claiming they are the best whatever player in their scene/city/state/country whatever, and then I watch their videos and all they do is stupid shit that any competent player would punish the shit out of.

Kami · May 2010

Hey gang, enjoying my new SE stick, and can't wait to order a new joystick/buttons of the Sanwa variety. :^:

In a random question, I'm doing Challenges to build up my response time and muscle memory for the stick, but I'm having a problem nailing Sakura's timing for a specific trial (I think it's 10 or 11). Basically, it's her

Jump H punch
Stand M punch
Hadoken
Focus EX

I'm doing all of these correctly, but since Dan is blocking the Hadoken, I know my timing's off. Should I be charging, or do I literally complete the qcf before I land?

Antihippy · May 2010

Does cammy really need an overhead anyway? It's not as if overheads are good in this game save for a very few. Her walkspeed and throw mindgames makes up for that I think.

I'm not completely sure, but you are probably canceling the m punch into a hadoken, so doing it pretty much instantly (buffer the motion immediately after pressing MP).

Ah, that actually may be exactly what's happening. She keeps doing each move successfully, but apparently I'm doing a small mishap in there. I'll keep trying :^:

FuriousJodo · May 2010

You want to be cancelling it, like on purpose. It's not a bad thing. Or just check this:

TheUnsane1 · May 2010

So today has taught me that run away Ibuki is much more viable then I had expected. I am really enjoying playing her and until I work on some more sound offense with her the run away game just destroys people who are not used to getting in against it. I did feel bad for the one guy I played who didn't realize he can block the slide grab let's just say Ibuki was playing chiropractor for that match. Worse for him that match was a recorded upload
