Ultra Street Fighter IV

Yeah I'm pretty happy with the Ken changes, though I need to see this new walk speed. Is it the same as Ryu?

I am incredibly excited about Wultra. I've never really used Ken's Ultra 2 at all but when the wife and child went to the in-laws a few weeks back and I actually managed to play this videogame for once, I started using it and it got me probably half my victories. 75% damage is fine by me given that U1's getting a post-FADC damage buff anyway and U2's getting a little faster.

Anyway leave my character alone, Alistarr. I wish they'd taken away Rufus' divekick.

Edit: Ig, I tested your mother's broadband last night, etc

Your mother's band is so broad, she can Ultra on reaction.

I may be on for some evening fighter later featuring my dreadful Cody. Also to the fine Thomas Hawks of the thread, my new signature line is not a cuss, it's just Tampa Bison being silly on Twitter and it made me laugh.

At least they didn't keep kenneth's foul stepkick change. That would have been Too Much.

Some of the changes are really curious. What is honda all about now? Is his main gameplan to use meter for ex hands to get ex hands > lp x hands combos and continually jump in with mp or something? Basically they appear to have just buffed honda as played by mike ross. I guess it's fair that ex headbutt is more punishable now, as it used to be hard for me to do anything about it. Qute why his stk.hk went from -3>-2 instead of -1 is beyond me. It's still chun li super punishable on hit.

Cody's slide being safe on block seems incredibly stupid. It's a slide, you're not meant to use it at point blank, if you do you should be punished. It'll also give him mad frame advantage on block when well spaced.

Cammy seems to have escaped relatively intact.

Haven't played in week and a half due to moving and staying at mums. Been practicing jab hands (L H L M H) on any surface I have to hand in the meantime. Just went into training to pull jab hands with alarming consistency, then finished off with jab hands xx Super.

Hopefully I'll be able to pull some of this at least once in an actual match someday.

Cammy can get vortex started off a soft knockdown, so she's still got that. Less stun makes sense, she's still got most of her utterly filthy frame traps though backthrow will be less threatening now thanks to delayed wakeup. They've not changed any of her combos, though cr.hp>cr.mk is now a 1f link. I think she's lost counterhit cr.hp into ultra 1, which isn't a big deal. I don't know how the 2 extra frames of recovery on divekick will alter her, so long as you're spacing dive kicks ok not too much of a problem I guess.

I have not played this game in 2 months.

Quick post-pub session and who should jump on ranked but Hegg! Got an enjoyable beatdown. From the sublime to the ridiculous: I've been trying unsuccessfully to hit Cody's counter hit f.mp > Ultra 2 online, and I finally land it on Hegg's Deejay no less. Then later on with Ryu I hit an uppercut FADC Ultra. Except the FADC came out as a backdash. My execution, especially when a bit tipsy, is hard garbage, folks.

Yeah Cammy will still be a problem, she'll just require a bit more skill/effort and you'll have a few more chances to live instead of dying off the first back throw. I'm into that.

In other news, that stuff I posted about the Yorkshire FGC being a beautiful thing, but it has shown its more undesirable side over the past couple of days.

There's a strong player from Bradford who plays Ryu and Evil Ryu at quite a high level. I can beat him but he wins more often than not and it's always a very very tough fight. I can't win with Rose yet but I can take him with Chun. Anyway, I ended up losing to him four or five times during the last Dragonman session. We were doing a "more skilled only" Dragonman session and he was often the only player who came up in the search. Also I was really enjoying fighting him as he's pretty darn good. So I did this, it was fun, then on Facebook I see this 300 comment thread where he's posted stuff about "Dragonman constantly rejoining after getting destroyed" and how whoever Dragonman is was trying to get info and download him but that the matches weren't worthy of his "high level play". This has turned into an extremely childish flame war and there's talk of a Leeds vs Bradford money match for £500 (!!!!!) and Tyson wants to run a FT10 between myself and this guy as Tyson knows it was me he was slagging off. What the actual fuck? I haven't got involved and I still don't know if he knows that it was me he was playing, but my goodness I don't need to be involved with any of this nonsense. I'd like to play him FT10 as he's a good player and I think it'd be a great set, but I cannot be bothered with the ridiculous manchild posturing involved. I thought we were just dicking about playing some ranked matches for fun, but apparently he's taken personal offense and everyone has turned into idiots. Deary me.

Still, excited for Rival Scenes at the end of the month. Teeside team with White Daigo, Manchester Battle Arena 1 with Shinji/Fuzzy etc. and potentially Manchester Battle Arena 2 with Infexious/Hutch/Sith. And of course team SF Fiends with OverMostHeads. Also I expect Electronic Dojo will send a Midlands team and there are plenty more players still to join. Should be an astounding event, I just hope this utterly moronic "drama" doesn't find its way to the event.

That vid won't display at all on my phone. No comp to check it out at mo.

Is there a way to force it to display on a phone. They usually do...

I am sure there is a range joke in there somewhere.

Things I did not know, part whatever: it only works on counterhit, but in AE2012 and I guess probably every other version of the game Rufus can already connect a LK messiah kick after a j.HK (one hit) or far st.HK, and in either case you can combo into LK ender and then FADC into ultra if you like (only in the corner for the far st.HK, but anywhere from one hit of j.HK).

True story: me and Willei used to play Alpha 3 on netplay before all of this Xbox Live SF4 tomfoolery was even a thing. Also I didn't know how to play and got my arse handed to me by his Guy. :(

My Alpha 4 wishlist would include changes that make X and A-ism more viable, and lobbies, trials, replay channels and the rest of it. And online dramatic battles. :P
