lol 630p ps3

I've seen both, it's basically unnoticeable while playing.

Also, you suck at links.

 

[stag3]

question for zangief players out there.
what's the new crouching roundhouse?
in ssf2hdremix u could still mix up a crouching roundhouse for knockdown, or standing short to 360.
in sf4 his crouching roundhouse friggen sucks ass now, like they shortened the range a LOT.
what do you use in its place now?

What's the easiest way to get in ranked matches on 360? Seems Capcom Japan didn't understand the concept of quickmatch.

 

[stag3]

this 1 v 1 lobby sucks
and filtering looking for matches is a pain.....

9/10 times I'd click on someone for a match it would be full. What really made me mad was when I would be able to connect and then I'd get kicked from someone probably trying to boost with a friend.

I loves SF4 but they need to fix the online loggies and how all of that works.

Arcade mode with ranked match request enabled? I get ranked matches really easy doing that on PS3.

I used to use that trick and couldn't get through 1 round without a challenge, which was great, but lately I'll go through and not get a single one.

Someone on SRK told me to choose custom match and put 99sec, 3 rounds (normal rules) and you'll get a bigger list of people to choose from. I'll try that later.

You can only create private slots via player mode. I think when bl4ckfl4g said 'boost' he meant pump up ranked stats.

Either way this is a really annoying problem. I was trying to play some player mode yesterday and couldn't connect to a fucking thing. I'd do custom search, quicksearch, and everything said either 'full' or 'unable to connect'. Fuck knows what the difference between the 2 errors mean, but that's what I was getting. I only could connect to a few ranked games where I get my ass handed to me.

Yeah, crouching roundhouse was stupid good in ST, I would've been super surprised if they gave him it again in SF4. He has down+forward roundhouse if you need a little bit more range on his sweep, though it has more recovery frames and I believe it is not safe on block.

They improved his lariat/SPD so you don't need his old crouching roundhouse. SPD is 2 frames, so you can grab people out of anything on wakeup (except for maybe Akuma/Bison since they have throw invul teleport reversals). Lariat has really good priority, there are only a couple normals/specials that can beat it clean.

Just modded my Madcatz SE stick with sanwa parts. God this thing feels superior to the TE which uses the same parts. Must be a placebo effect.

Where did you get your parts from and how long did you wait?

 

[gorcorps]

I swear... am I the only one not devoting my life to this game? I mean I find a game with 'same skill' and get dominated like none other.

 

[stag3]

same here, in ssf2hdremix i am winning 90% of my matches
in sf4 i am winning 68% of my matches.

the timing is still hard for me to adjust to.

You're winning 68% and you think that's bad? Look, unless you're losing more than winning you aren't in the same boat. I'm struggling to keep 30%

They took the timing to ridiculous levels in this game. I do like that though because you can't just mash anymore. You gotta know your stuff.

The one thing they messed up is that they increased the reversal timing window and you can easily get one every time now. So if you mess up your timing on a wakeup combo or something, you will eat a reversal and it is too easy to do that. In ST and HDremix it was 1 frame and I got my muscle memory to be able to do it 80% at least but now it is just too easy.

It is overly unforgiving and makes shoryukens super powerful.

 

[purbeast0]

something is jacked up w/the left direction on my joystick

i'm not 100% sure what is wrong, but i'm having trouble pulling fireballs in that direction 1/2 the time, and i've noticed that my blocking when on the left side is also iffy.

i was trying to put my ear to the joystick and it seems like it COULD be something up w/the microswitch.

i think i've put a beating on this thing already

I like playing Ken's. I don't feel too harmed with the shoryukens. Whenever I knock a Ken-Shoryuken player down, I pretend to walk close to them, they do the shoryuken, I block and grab them on the way down. I have done this to some people 5-6 times in one round alone.

Of course because most Ken players are horrible. I let them try it all day and block and destroy them but that is different.

Is it the custom one? That sucks man. My HRAP EX works great so far. Going to change the art and maybe in like 3 months I'll get my buttons from Lizard Lick.

Haha, that's what I was thinking. 68% seems godlike to me. I think I've gotten myself to be around 33%, and I play mainly ranked matches. Haven't played in a couple of days, though, I need to get back on the ball.

I'm like blackflag, still waiting on my parts. The thing that sucks is that I ordered on the 19th, and it seemed as if people that ordered on the 16th and 17th were getting their's shipped. But then LL got his huge restock shipment in, so it's basically like getting put way back into the queue again while he goes back to the 13th backorders and starts filling those.

 

[pennylane]

I've raised my winning percentage to about 50%. Hooray.
