this shit is HARD.
Already reduced to Easy level and still no walk in the park. Don't regret picking this up but think I'm going to have to put in some proper training montage style practice on this bastard before i let loose online.

if you're trying to do character unlocks, put it on the "easiest" setting (for awhile i thought "easy" was the last setting but seth is still ridiculous then)
 
Yep I've been forced into that littlest of dude moves. Still can't get to grips with C Viper though - I want to unlock Cammy but Viper is absolutely no fun to play with.

Loving it though - it's like the last 17 years have been swept away.
 
i dont remember street fighter being this difficult! the controls sucks. Cant pull anything off. might be that im still using the same moves from the original Street Fighter 2. Old school dude. There are like 30 hit combos in this piece!

Most of the long combos have 1 frame timing on some of the links, so its really ridiculous. so unless you have really good execution it forces you to scale back your game from combo crazy to just the basics.
 
I'm sorely tempted to purchase a chunky arcade stick so I don't kill my pads within the next seven days. Being lazy I'm still not quite sure how the hell I pull off an ultra rather than a super combo.

While playing this is kind of like riding a bike still getting to grips again with being patient on attacks.

Also, seriously, F*ck Seth. I don't like the man's style and his low punch, sonic boom, kick, teleport, piledriver routine is the bane of my life right now.
 
Yeah, im thinking arcade stick too, but i cant find one anywhere.

@ senior: ultra = all three punches while your ultra meter is full. super = just the move and one punch while your EX (the blue meter) is full.

while you can still play old school jumping hard kick to crouching fierce kick style, i recommend doing the training under Challenges>Trials. It really puts shit in perspective and you learn a lot of useful basic combos and general timing that arent apparent from just picking it up and playing like it was '95.

c.viper sucks, so worth it to unlock cammy though.

no ps3 network id's???

ultras are when the revenge meter (the little red circle meter) fills up, and it's the character's super combo motion with three attack buttons.. supers are just with one attack button and is when you get full stocks of the horizontal meter (but are better used for EX moves instead imho)

They made Seth to basically be the supreme asshole boss which is kind of a sadistic tradition for capcom.. Old Bison was an unbeatable dickhead and Gill from SF:3s who would resurrect and had an unblockable super that instakills.
 
Ah cheers, that's what I thought. Unfortunately 17 years between games has slowed my reactions down to a point where I can barely time a super. I'm determined to get there though, even if it's only once.

Yeah I had a look at the training and it seems worthwhile - just requires patience and dedication when I haven't spent more than a minute training on a game in a long time and all I want to do is get online and kick ass get my ass kicked by 13 yer olds.

I'm on 360 rather than ps3 so any xboxers who want to notch up a few easy wins let me know.
 
SFIV is dead to me because capcom didn't keep the parry system used in SFIII.
You can parry with the focus attack. either MP+MK or focus attack dash cancel: MP+MK double forward or back.
