that and using savestates should work, have fun !

Well, rarely have problems finding a decent connection in SSFIV. I’d imagine that the difference is that there are so few players on GGPO relatively close by (east coast), so that probably limits my ability to find a good connection. When I’m playing with someone I know who isn’t far away, it’s usually fine. I don’t know anything about how the netcode works, so I can’t talk about why or why not it is or isn’t bad from a technical standpoint.

EDIT:: Oh btw I love your posting name!

leave

I specifically said I don’t know anything because I haven’t really tried it out much… Just saying what my little, tiny experience shows meeeee.

Pick a toptier. Atleast until you learn the fundamentals of the game and feel comfortable enough to “switch down”. 3s is serious business and you don’t want to hinder yourself when you begin. Otherwise you will be stuck in the scrub swamp for years…

Akuma ain’t too bad. He just has zero health which can become frustrating at beginner levels. Oro is somewhat viable against all of the cast except for Chun which is an impossible match-up for him. So if you know any Chun players or aim to play at the higher levels, you probably want to reconsider.

:confused: No offense but I disagree

You’re only stuck being horrible at the game as long as you choose to be by not exposing yourself to better players and actually working to consciously change how you play. It has nothing to do with character.

Ryu/Akuma/Ken are still good for teaching the fundamentals of the system that every character utilizes without having odd or confusing moves/properties. Tier or relative supposed power has nothing to do with learning. Picking chun, yun, ken, makoto, dudley, whatever isn’t going to help you when you don’t even understand why they’re strong characters.

just go with what you like but always at least try out other characters to see how their moves work/how they feel. it helps you understand the 3s system and it gives you info you need to not get hosed by everyone else in the cast.

i’m not trying to be a dick without being a dick with some dick but you guys are giving bad advice lmao

Practice and experience, man, more than anything else… and a good controller/joystick. ;p

why you such a dick, dick?

this thread needs more 2nasty

This thread cannot handle the nastiness that is 2nasty.

Fuck the thread. Rename the entire section 2nasty strike.

sparta!

2nasty go feed your wife and kids.
Leave the 3s soldiers like myself clean up the streets.
