Hit G3 tonight, playing mostly Ryu. I'm getting the hang of him again finally, but I'm really having a tough time adjusting to his moveset as opposed to Abel's.
Still, I had a few decent games here and there, but I really need more practice. At least xbl has no shortage of dudes to play against. I can't help but wonder though if it's really possible to be equally competent at two separate characters.

Sev: Your gameplay is the most heavily yomi based around. Usually you look for characters that allow you to force guessing situations for big dmg. Even if the guess is mathematically nowhere near in your favor lol. You're happiest when you have either a 50/50, 33/33/33 or even a 75/25 situation to go crazy with. And you will take big risks to force those situations to come up.
You should throw a bunch more. If low kicks or jabs are blocked (which they should be because you should spam crouching jabs and weak kicks a lot of times!), walk up grab after the first or second block. Three might work, too. People that really trip me up will do the blocked jabs and kicks and then do hassan shu, but I am completely unable to wrap my head around it and I don't think I have the execution for it : (
Mix up things on your opponent's wakeup. After you've done her flip kick once or twice, a lot of people will fall for a sweep or low kicks into lightning legs, or walkup throws.
For her d+medium kick thing after her target combo, I think you're doing it too early. I'm honestly not really sure, though. I only get it like 40% of the time. I think I have the best luck when I do it later than I think it should be, though.
Her back+medium spinny kick is pretty worthless. It comes out a lot when I mess up EX spinning bird kicks and it's the worst thing on the planet : (

It can make for a really good corner combo because it throws folks into a juggle and you can hit EX SBk or legs afterward. I think it can come off of her target combo but i'm not certain at the moment.
So, I was thinking of ordering a TE stick. I saw them at Amazon for about 120-ish and at one other site for about the same.
Has anyone seen them cheaper or on sale? Or any recommendation on where to buy?

I bought mine at Amazon for the same price; I once saw them for $100 at Dell but that was just a special deal.
Wha?
S&H is usually based on weight. I was under the impression that the TE was like six pounds.
It's pretty heavy, but amazon has always had great shipping rates.
Hmm, I'll probably think about doing this then.
If you're patient you can get free super saver shipping on orders over $25 at Amazon.
Also, it's the same price at newegg.com right now. They will charge shipping but newegg won't charge you tax (if applicable to your state, they didn't charge me tax in WA whereas Amazon has also charged tax). For me that was a trade off in my favor.
EDIT: Ermmm, nevermind, looks like you get free shipping at newegg too, 3 day UPS.

Nothing wrong with a "nerdy" tattoo per se, so long as it's tasteful, and more important, correct.
I prefer my ink on non-obvious parts of my body, but that's just personal preference.

So, is there anyone here that feels that they have "mastered" more than one character? By mastered I don't mean that you're unbeatable and whatnot, I mean do you feel that you play at an equal level of skill with both characters?
I notice that there are some JP GM players who play dual chars like Kindevu, but it seems to me that most top-level players use a single character.
I'd like to improve my Ryu play, while still retaining my level with Abel. I definitely don't feel that I'm in control with Ryu the same way I am with Abel. I do enjoy playing Ryu, but I'd like to be equally competent. I'm weird like that, I don't like to half-ass anything.
Great photoshop, btw.

I feel that I'm equally bad with a number of characters.

Playing another character is always going to halfass another no matter what. Time you're putting into a new character is time you could put into that one, since nobody is so good that they're unstoppable behemoths of death.
I'm part of the one character, always, forever ever crowd.

I like variety in fighting games, which is why I like KoF so much.
This game though does not have 3v3, so you can't learn multiple characters at once and still be building up your skill level as effectively.
What you say is right though, you'll definitely need to stick with 1 predominant character and work on him exclusively for a while to even be semi-competent.
Yeah, I know what you mean. I feel that I'm a pretty decent Abel, I love his mixups and shenanigans and the TT.
Thing is, I like to mix things up a bit, so I play Gen and Ryu as well. I'm a longtime Ryu fan, but Abel's KoF-style rushdown comes more naturally to me. However, it's still fun to play Ryu. I just don't like to half-ass, but I guess to maintain my Abel, Ryu will have to fall behind.
I wish guys like Kindevu had blogs so I could gain some insight into their mindset regarding dual chars.

This is crazy. When I picked up SF4 I mained Sagat for like a week. Then I mained Abel for a looong time, then mainly Ryu and now I m trying to learn Gen. Were street fighters from another mother! I think its possible, but I think your Gen will need additional practice compared to Ryu and Abel to maintain the same competitiveness. He has a lot of muscle memory and more to think about then the other 2 chararcters.
Good luck, we should brawl sometime with the 3.

I like variety, but I think it should be against different players, not characters. That's why lobbies are awesome. You get to play a variety of things (well, as long as the players have different mains) and everyone gets to play their main without boredom.

I'm on xbl, you're on PSN, right? If not, send me an invite any time. I think my Gen is competent overall, if a bit one-dimensional. Most players have no idea how to deal with linked mk hands, so I abuse the living shit out of it. I have multiple ragequits after dizzy-ing with multiple mk hands mixed in with a few cr.hps.

I cant wait for SSF4 and online lobbies... I'm also one thats addicted to switch between characters pretty frequently, and i can tell when i haven't played my main for a while when i do stupid things i would never do before... and my main Dhalsim plays radically differently than the rest of the cast
Nah, im on xbox. I gotta learn those links, Im still on just medium punch to mk legs. Its either I get it (uncommon) or I miss the link or I get the link and the hands don't come out. Practice, practice, practice...

but yeah whiffing that thing = death.

I bought mine at Amazon for the same price; I once saw them for $100 at Dell but that was just a special deal.
Shipping was $4.98 for standard 3-5 day UPS delivery; got it in 3 days, if I recall.
S&H is usually based on weight. I was under the impression that the TE was like six pounds.
It's pretty heavy, but amazon has always had great shipping rates.

HOLY SMOKES, that would be awesome if it wasn't so full of FAIL.
HAhahahahah. Just...so much wrong with it design-wise as well.

Nah. You see he's just making fun of how pretty much any input works in SF4.
Either way he is probably very angry that he fucked it up [if he found out yet].
Ooo, he's smarter than we think.
Just saw this on eventhubs, it's like Bison is in the Mortal Kombat universe (spoilered for huge):
Steam ID: slashx000______Twitter: @bill_at_zeboyd______ Facebook: Zeboyd Games
edit: ahaha, even my gf saw that the srk input was wrong.
Bison is a MK ripoff!
If the SF4 cast looked like that, there would have been a massive revolt of epic scale. Capcom buildings would be burning.
That is pure awesome.
