Sfiv - sonic boom!

[Wonk]

w00t, 111GP now. My rose slaughtered a good chun in the final god I love this game.

Is a normal controller useless for this game?

 

[Wij]

Yes. Get a USB Saturn pad or a big fuck-off stick if you've got cash.

 

[tris-]

I havent got fuck all, thats why im trying to work out if i should buy it or not

 

[Wij]

Oh, it's cheap. Buy it now and get a controller later

If you can play HD remix on your current pad then you can play SF4 as it's a lot more forgiving.

 

[tris-]

But I will also need the live sub, not sure I can spend £100+ on one game

 

[Wij]

You own an XBox without Live ???

It's free on PS3 though.

he's probably the easiest character to learn (and one of the highest ranked), so you won't regret it He's also the one I hate the most though

 

[tris-]

can you pls explani wtf is a target combo and a cancel?

 

[Wonk]

yeah, sure.

Target combo's is just multiple normal attacks that hits the opponent so that they 'link'.

Cancelling is executing a move, before the frames of the last move has finished. It can be done with normals (the normal kicks, punches), however you'll quickly start to notice it when people are cancelling their Focus attacks (Focus attack dash cancel, FADC) or specials (like flame kicks, shoryukens etc).

cool shit gimme 10 minutes and il be online.

 

[tris-]

fucking thing never does what i want i tto do

Blanka is a charge character - Use his charge abillities you can sit down when charging. Moving back all the time is a bit obvious.

 

[tris-]

I dont know if it is my timing or the controler or what. If I charge up and try do something, i manage it one out of ten times or something

 

[Wonk]

It's your timing. I could easily do it in SFII with my controller

 

[tris-]

When do you press the button then?

 

[Wonk]

When do you press the button then?

uhm, right after I've moved the stick in the opposite direction. Try practicing it in training mode

are you still playing Wij?

 

[tris-]

Looks like I managed to crack it. I won around 8 matches in a row against some dude and I managed to pull off a load of super and ultras for Blanka

 

[Wij]

uhm, right after I've moved the stick in the opposite direction. Try practicing it in training mode

are you still playing Wij?

Not as much at the minute as I've been playing Wolfenstein 3D and Light of Altair but I'll have finished those soon. SF4 can never be finished

Lonely on PSN though.

 

[Wonk]

For gods sake. I've been at Roses FIRST hard trial for several months now, and I still can't pull it off

 

[Wij]

The hard combo trials is all I've got left to do trophy-wise. Too annoying to be arsed.
