    They're upset that ryu and sagat didn't get better ultras so they're playing guile and fei.

    I think they've just managed to balance everyone so well that people can try out these nutty characters

    I play as vega occasionally even though I can't reliably do basically any of his moves

    his normals are pretty nasty and he has an airthrow so I do alright

    apparently I hate fireballs

    all the characters I like either have shitty fireballs, (dan, cody) or no fireballs (abel, gief, vega)

    this doesn't bother me except when I have to fight a dude who is FIREBALL PARTY like akuma or gouken or sagat

    tips to beat balrog

    watch for headbutts, block and punish the holy living shit out of them because they are the most unsafe crap in the universe and i need to learn to stop throwing them out like goddamn flaming shoryus

    overhead dash punch is slow to hit and slow to recover. if rog's arm goes up over his head, block high and punish punish punish. it's pretty easy to block on reaction

    learn the range f.headbutt or TAP will go through a fireball and hit, and stop using fireballs at that range

    a lot of you can't mount an offense without jumping in, or really close distance without jumping. you lost 75% of your life to headbutt and c.fierce. be very careful about your jump ins, rog has great aa

    Yay new thread! Need the dot so I can find it reliably. My stick never arrived yesterday, I am crestfallen. Oh well, I've resolved not to play again until it gets here so I'm off to go weed my fucking lawn. Stupid dandelions.

    Yes also about what knob said, if you're using a shoto, c.medium kick versus Balrog should be your primary poke/range finder. It slips under headbutt, just fyi. At least Ken and Ryu's do, not sure about the others.

    So, I just did my first ranked matches today.

    2 flowchart Kens and one Ibuki. Guess which match I actually enjoyed?

    The 2nd Ken did a one round match.

    He should be glad I don't send hatemail.

    Jumping in this game is like the worst thing you can do.

    Which, you know, is sad, since it's so natural to do it.

    EDIT: Also punishing with throws instead of a real combo.

    never jump attack. sure you can usually catch people off guard, but it is the worst thing you can do.

    what you want to do is a safe jump when you have an untechable knockdown.

    let's assemble the big list of 'things that seem like a great idea but will make you lose more matches than they win'

    1. starting offense with jumping
    2. punishing big whiffs with a throw instead of a higher damage combo
    3. wakeup ultras
    4. meaty focus attacks

    augh sticks

    so I'm looking at sticks

    the tekken one is tempting because it's cheap

    but I can't get a solid answer on if it's good but not as good as the te or just plain crap

    keep in mind I've been rocking Whippy's TE stick (that sounds way gayer than I meant it to) for a bit now

    I'd hate to take a step backwards when I'm just getting used to this really good one

    so what's the deal should I drop 80 bones or almost double it in the name of quality ANSWER ME DAMMIT

    though I really will double it because I'll probably get one of the femme fatale sticks they're selling on ebay for $169.99

    pink is manly

    actually what I'll probably do is get the tekken 6 stick, that way when marvel vs. capcom 3 comes out I can get the sweet-ass stick they'll inevitably release for that

    nah not really

    especially if you're using a fairly simple character like cody

    charge characters are pretty hard to do certain things with without a stick

    at any rate you should at least pick up a fightpad, if not for your skillz then for your thumbz
