So when vega does his off-the-wall-overhead-strike thing, how does one block that? I tried blocking high and low and nothing worked.
Vega has a ridiculous amount of control over that thing, he can hit you on either side, just like El Fuerte's body splash. That makes it a truly annoying mixup.
I've found the best way to block it is to walk toward Vega once he goes toward the wall. He'll tend to fly over you and you'll block it (high) correctly.

Ah, I was using Sagat. So. Slow.
His forward dash is decent, dash forward once and then walk forward/block. Or just tiger uppercut.

If he is doing the throw that looks exactly the same as his strike, he can throw your ass out of an uppercut. Also, he seems to hit me out of the uppercut half the time.
I left my joystick at work, so this is all on the regular 360 controller.
What is the advantage of using an arcade style stick?
Generally better control over...well, everything.
It takes some getting used to if you've been using gamepads your whole life for fighting games.
Yeah I don't know. I can generally hit ultras with guile pretty easily with a dual shock so I just don't get the allure. It would seem if I gave them a bit of practice ( i am no guile player) it wouldn't be too difficult. Same with Zangief's ultras too but I have to buffer though or tick throw. I think that's what you kids call it. I've been using gamepads my entire life though so. . .shrug.
So I was feeling masochistic and went back to C.Viper's trials and actually beat hard trial #2. C.Viper Hard trial #3 . . . has anyone here beat that? Jeez. I think it might not be possible with my current pad, but I was thinking of ordering another USB Saturn pad, anyway.
Is this a PS3 only thing, or is it available for the 360 too?
USB pads? The PS3 seems to use any USB pad (or controller with USB adapter) that you hook up with it except for a 360 pad. But I did read recently that there would be a converter to let you use PS3 controllers on the 360, by the same people that made a 360->PS3 adapter, I don't know if that'd let you use any USB controller or not.
Wait wait wait wait.
You mean I can use my USB SNES to PC adapter in order to use my arcade stick on the PS3?

As soon as you see vega go towards the wall just neutral jump + MK or similar, seems to deal well with most Vegas I see online.

Really? That would be AWESOME when I get my Ps3.
Please answer my question.
I don't think there's anyone else with that setup. If it does work it's still possible that there will be input lag from the adapter, there is really no way to tell without trying it.

I know about one person who owns a PS3. I'll have to take the adapter to his house and try it then.
Don't worry about it, I just need to improve my own game. I'll get through though.
Would love a rematch if you're interested.
Thanks for the advise too Hisruptor. I've seen some of Sabre's videos in the tournament thread and he is insane.
Actually maybe not... I played against a gt antihippy on 360 but your sig says your on PSN? That would be a really strange coincidence because I'm pretty sure they also played as sakura and I main Blanka... my 360 gt is BIG IRN
Is Rose pretty tough? Seems like most of the women characters can't take a punch.
Yeah I think she has 1000hp or at the least 950. None of the women are zang/sagat tough but they're not as fragile as akuma or gen. She hits hard but isn't too combo friendly, but that's fine with me since neither am I.

I like Chun Li but I can't play her for shit; she doesn't have any of the go-to special/cheap moves that I rely on with other characters :P
You know after a week and a half or so with the game, I still have no idea who I want to play with. Though silly, I find myself reluctant to practice with a character whose . . . "character" I don't like. I seem to do really well with Bison, but man he's super evil and kind of a dick.
But anyway, part of it stems from the fact that with my fightpad on the way, I'm hesitant to put too much time practicing with the 360 controller. Though I think I could benefit defensively from playing more ranked and player matches online.

Where's all this GEN IS FRAGILE WEAK BOOOO nonsense coming from
this is like the fifth time I've heard it
Gen has the average 1000 stamina, just like 80% of the characters
Any good Giefs want to friend me? I'm trying to prep for my game against B:L in the tourney and I need an out against Lariat abuse. Right now I eat it and I'll be super pissed if I lose to that in the tourney.

I'll play you.
Oh wait.
Nooooo
My plans, ruined! I'll get you next time, Gadg- I mean B:L!

I sent him good game, he replied "You too. I hate fighting Sagat."
Fun fact: I am quite terrible at this game.
You are not alone, my friend.
Ooh Ooh, pick me!

Accurately hitting diagonals, for starters. Easier to do timing on shoulder/trigger buttons, too.

I really need to get a 360 or PS3.
or bring an arcade cabinet to ohio.

Charge back, forward, back, forward + P.
Can one of you creative people make me a nice image that I can send to people who DC during Rose's ultra?
because it never gets old:
This guy wasn't even dead, he was a bit slow on the DC too, didn't get it during the O face.
Or something similar.
Is it just difficult because of how quickly you have to press back, forward + P?
yeah, you gotta do it really fast, it's hard to get it down on the controller.
if your thumb isn't like a rock that is.

Nope, PSN only.
Man, so much for originality. :P

Soak up the tears should fit as a title.

First match his Honda beat my Gen 3 rounds to 0
Second match my Ben beat his Honda 3 rounds to 0.
No idea how that happened.
