Super Street Fighter IV: T.Hawk, Dee-Jay, and Juri announced (100% less Dan)
Posts
as far as I know Abel's is the only super with totally different invincibility on each button press, but a lot of characters have different versions of their super. Ryu's go different speeds, his jab super is really slow, fierce really fast. Ken's jab super starts up in 2 frames instead of 3. Guile's is the same way too I think.
See you all there guys!
You have to be basically right in their face for the fierce version to work, like if an Akuma does a shaku hadouken point blank for some reason. Its range really sucks.
Wheel Kick is actually pretty punishable. In fact, it's unsafe if they hit you with anything beside the tip of his heel.
(Those in the know, feel free to correct me)
For example, if Abel does a Wheel Kick point blank and he hits you with his butt, i'm pretty sure you can reversal Shoryuken before he gets a chance to fullly recover.
Shoryukens can beat it cleanly or at least trade.
I know El.Fuerte's Anti-Air can beat it cleanly or at least trade.
Which character are you using? I'm pretty sure they have something that can beat Wheel Kick.
I'll see if my wife wants to go to Mass. for our anniversary weekend, right after I sell a kidney for plane tickets.

Is there a difference for Cammy? Not that I ever build up enough meter to do her Super...
Maybe if they would let me connect my 360 Controller, i would actually attempt playing in a Tournament.
I'm sure there's an adapter to the PS3 somewhere.
You can use my arcade stick if you'd like.
And there will be a PS3 controller there most likely.
You should just come for the casuals, and to watch the matches, and to meet some really good players. And to eat some really good food.
Sabyul is Damdai comming up again? I'd love to play him and his Boxer buddy again.
doesn't look like it.
All the answers are here http://shoryuken.com/wiki/index.php/Street_Fighter_IV
Thanks, great vid. That really does give me ideas. Zone him with wheel kick, and sweep when he expects the wheel kick again and blocks high. Jump away/backdash a lot.
I have to say, I'm amazed you were able to cross him up, everytime I attempt a x-up on a knockdown I end up eating a lariat. Have to work on my timing, I guess.
He can only roll forward, so be ready to throw him when he does. Abel gets mad when you throw him out of roll.
The Raid
Yeah, he'll be there according to his previous posts and stuff. He was there last time and got a lot of good footage too.
Why is there never any cool shit like this in my area? Although, it makes me wonder how many serious SF4 players there are in Memphis. If someone organized something like this here, will they come?
Maybe if the opportunity arises, I can try to get something like this going. Finding a venue, especially a cool one like the one described above, is such a bitch in this area.
The Raid
He actually would have done a lot better if he just mashed lariat and SPD like most Giefs.. I was trying a lot of combos and stuff that weren't exactly safe. Another thing I was doing was starting a link combo and then jumping away so I couldn't get hit by a crouching jab or SPD.. thne eventually I'd mix it up and throw in a tornado throw
I mean I know you're real good, there must be at least 3-5 other dudes that are just as good, so yea...
I'm looking to go and have a good time first and foremost, but getting ripped to shreds within the first round isn't what I'm looking for, but hey that's how you get better.
You've played against me, do I even have a chance?
Also, this is Saturday tomorrow, not Friday tonight?
Any help is appreciated, I'll probably go either way.
Then I won a match by cancelling out of his Legendary Taunt into his Ultra.
Glee.
I've yet to do this in an actual match, but it seems like lots of fun.
Chances are you won't win a single tournament match. It happens to everyone.
But you'll get sooooo much experience it's ridiculous.
It's Saturday.
And you'll be playing lots of casuals with me and other guys. I'm getting there around 11.
All the people I play with there regularly are better than me from a small to quite large margin.
New York guys usually come up as well and they're as good or better the toughest competition out there.
So come for the food, meet some good players, and play lots of casuals. Find out what a tournament feels like. then go online and beast on people you couldn't before.
I'm definitely going now, sounds like a shitload of fun.
I'm torn between Gouken/Akuma to practice/main with, Dan is fun and powerful and all, same with Fei, but they are both no match for seasoned and veteran players who have more rounded players under their belts.
I'd rather stick with Gouken, but Akuma is just so nasty if you can keep the pressure on and switching your game up.
I don't expect to win or even get in the top 5, but I'd like to maybe win one. If not, no sweat, I still have booze to drink and such.
Edit: SHIT! I can't even make it I don't think, seeing as I have work till 6:30 >.< Is there anyway I can have someone sign me up and then I can showup for the 8PM? Man this is going to suck, I would've had a blast going early and playing.
If you can make it I'll sign you up. I'll PM you my number if you need to call me tomorrow.
So awesome.
The Raid
There will be casuals during/after the singles tournament as well. (At the start of the tournament you won't get any casuals in, but as the bracket winds down more people sneak in for casuals.
Any wins by this method require the "E" Icon in the win slot. E for Epic.
Damn, it looks like I'm buying the PC version.
we need more people involved in the PC community.
SF4 is one of those games I fully feel I got my $39.99 out of it when I purchased it. This game is seriously BAWS and has amazing depth and range for newbs + pros. The replayability is huge too.
Such a great game, but man can it make me rage when I make stupid mistakes against newbs.
I'll play you tonight!
This should really be in the thread title - I wonder where Dover is?
PC only for now.

You should look around.

That close enough?
Alright Aumni, now do....Spokane, WA!!!
...yeah, nothing happens here :P
/cry
The Raid
ONE OF US.
Seriously though, do eet. Most report better connections on the PC, and a good amount of players at odd hours.
Edit: To Aumni, that tourney is PS3 only? I have a 360 Stick. /cry.
Also, I may not have the time to drive 8 hours to Chattanooga for this. I'm getting married less than three weeks after that date, and shit's getting hectic. All my free time outside of nightly SF4 is currently eaten up with wedding stuff. Still, thanks for the heads-up, I'll be sure to peruse that forum more often.
Also, skin mods.
