Classic Fighting Games Ultra Street Fighter IV

You have to read them fast. I think this is the biggest thing to do. If you know they aren’t playing the same game you are, you can account for it.

If you are talking about online matches, you normally don’t go through many games against the same person in ranked. The first 30 seconds will be your measuring stick to figure out if they going to play wild or not.

I try to decide what kind of person they are. If they are the desperate type, I watch out for uppercuts, supers, and ultras. I use more safe jumps and get ready to tech throws after my safe jumps. If they mash jab, I try to use frame traps. If they like to throw, look for tsurugi opportunities. If they are just unreadable like Valle, then that’s a different case because he probably just has a better mind game that you do going on.

You gotta remember that the “retards” aren’t following the same mentality that you are and won’t fall for the tricks that normally work on people. I say “retards” loosely as they may actually be reading you well and doing the things you just don’t think a normal person would. If they truly aren’t playing smart, you just have to keep it simple and get the damage where you can. In some matches, I just trip/oroshi them constantly then block when they have their ultra. They’ll eventually give away the match to you. Just don’t expect them to be easily conditioned to block.

82

This is easy. Just defend yourself. If you suspect a retard. Defend yourself. Jump over those fireballs, and block/backdash every time on wakeup and punish the attempted reversal. block every opportunity for their ultra whether they use it or not… just seriously. as was said by Torpid, don’t do things that normally work. The tricks, and the OS’s ond the meaties they just get beat by 3f DPs and ultras all day. Don’t get flashy. Dont’ show off. Just hit them a few times, get a health lead, and sit on that shit. then just crouch block and fukiage that ass. Practice your AAs. You dont’ have to do anything. They will kill themselves…

83

I assume you’re talking about the typical XBL warrior. The type who doesn’t know frame data, generally can’t do more than the basic combos, does a lot of unsafe stuff that works because it’s random and because it’s online, and has a strange meld of sublimely knowing how to win while simultaneously having no fucking clue what the hell is really going on.

The type who will do a late sweep on their wake-up, that beats your bait due to your late crouch teching or starting to attack a bit after realizing they didn’t reversal … they didn’t think that, they just said, “Hey, he’s in range for a sweep!!! WOOOO!!! c.HK!!!” The type who will do an unsafe move and follow it up with a more unsafe move because it’s a generally punishable move, or rather, a move where the opponent should normally be able to start momentum/attack, like after Balrog’s TAP. The type who will attack immediately after jumping every time, because they don’t know how to AA and are just hoping you were going to jump. The type who will randomly do an Ultra when cornered, at a random time … not reversal, just random. The type who does guerrilla tactics over and over again, because their lag makes these tactics unpunishable.

Sound familiar?

84

These are the types of players I lose to more than anything else. People who actually know how to play are actually vulnerable to mind games because they’re actually thinking while they play instead of smashing buttons.

85

Omg lol I feel like such a dumbass. I must be dyslexic or something cause I was reading that as s.hp…

86

Ok guys 2 things:

  • Does anyone know where I can get Makoto’s Japanese quotes and translation?? I’ve been looking for like 3 days and I cand find anything!

-Ok I went through all the non-sticky threads in the forum. Anyone know a mod? I think all non-sticky threads that have 20 replies or less should be deleted. I looked at them all and 99.99999999% of them are useless. Personally, I also think that all sticky threads that have not been updated since June 7th should be deleted. I only say keep the ones with more posts so I can go through them to see if there are any gems I can put in this thread… somebody give me some good news.

Oh P.S.- this thread needs to be stickied soon…

87

Do you mean Japanese win quotes? If so:

You kidding Mossad Man? I talked about her Japanese in another thread before the forum revamp and got flamed.

89

Thanks man so much I really appreciate it. I dont’ read japanese. Also, do you (or anyone) know what she’s saying at match start?? I remember what it means, but I dont’ remember how to spell it. Thanks again!

really? what was your question? Sorry man i got a bad memory. And sorry if it was me that flamed you lol. The wife might’ve irritated me that day lol.

But yeah i was only looking to fill in the space in here with as much info as possible so that people won’t open up any new threads. As I was going through the old threads, I saw that asked like 5 times but little to no answer. So I was just looking to post it in here. That’s why I made so many OPs.

Also, I wanted to put something Makotoy for my status or what not lol. but i wanted it to be in japanese if possible. I can’t actually see the characters (are they called characters?) here at work because the add on isn’t installed, but I’ll take a look when I get home.

90

At match start, she says: “勝負じゃ！” The romanji is “shoubu ja!”

Here’s some more voice info for Makoto:

91

And afterwards you’re sitting there frustrated and feeling stupid because you lost to someone who you feel you shouldn’t have lost against…
Those people. Those people are who I refer to (and kings of turtling, Guiles. speaking of which I should take a look, I’m not even sure if doing a F.MP after blocking a Sonic Boom actually moves me closer than what I was before or not)…

92

Hopefully one of you guys can put this on the front page.

The Ibuki Match up
I will go over Ibuki’s strengths and weaknesses describe how is best to deal with them. To be honest the best thing to do against Ibuki is to “block” and when there’s an opening in her block string back dash to reset the situation and try to find an opening.

Strengths
-------Kunai Mixup
-I heard a lot of people have problems when Ibuki knocks you down and SJ’s towards you and throws the kunai. As the kunai is hitting you, you must block in the direction of “Ibuki”. It is also recommended to block standing because if your crouching the kunai becomes an unblockable if hit on a certain frame.

-If the kunai isn’t a meaty you can also ex karakusa if the Ibuki player starts a grounded block string.

--------The Untechable Knock Down
-Every time Ibuki knocks you down it’s untechable unless it was a dp that knocked you down. A good Ibuki player will OS you on your wake up so NO back dashing or reversals are allowed against good Ibuki players because you will either get your neck broken or eat a high damage Ultra

---------The EX Dragon Punch
-A lot of Ibuki players will sometimes throw out this reversal recklessly because its kinda of weird to punish. When actually its one of the most highly punishable reversals in the game. To punish properly you must dash or jump towards Ibuki before she even has a chance to throw the kunai. If you forget to do one of these things you could always just ultra 2. This removes any guessing of whether or not she is going to throw the kunai.

---------Her Overhead (The comand normal)
-Be careful crouch teching because if you get caught by this you could be eating a combo into ultra. She’s at frame advantage if blocked so watch out for a frame trap.

Weaknesses
---------Her Ground Game
-Her ground game is horrible and Makoto’s is far superior to hers. Here is rundown of her most used normals.

—Cr. Strong-- This move protects her ground space and can be buffered into a special just like Makoto’s cr. strong. So don’t rush in recklessly and protect your own space while building meter

—Slide-- This is the move most Ibuki players will use to advance on the ground and if spaced poorly can be punished with cr. lk xx whatever. If you see an Ibuki in her slide range always have a cr. lk buffered into an ex hayate to ruin her day

—St. Forward–This is a good priority normal with crappy range. Use cr. stong before Ibuki is close enough to use this move

The Strategy

The objective in this match up for both characters is the same, and that is to get the first knock down. If she manages to get the first knockdown make sure you don’t let her do a million block strings on you because she builds a ton of meter that way. And once you get that knock down DO NOT let pressure go, especially if Ibuki has no meter. When Ibuki has no meter go for counter hit set ups and anti back dash strings until you bring her to the corner. After that she pretty much lost already.

93

You forgot MP Fukiage and U2 get Makoto out of her backdash. Slow, rhythmic c.MK+LP+LK OS beats her overhead when under pressure.

I don’t know if we’re going to be doing a whole match-up section. Ibuki isn’t a problematic match-up, if anything it’s in Makoto’s favor. For now, IMO, I think we should limit this thread to FAQ-like information, including her naturally puzzling or difficult match-ups. I’ll add this anyway, since you put the time in to write it.

94

Well the whole being airborne during mp fukiage isn’t exactly true if the kunai is meaty, I also believe you eat counter hit damage for trying. Just a note.

95

i think makoto is airborne near frame 3

96

May I request some matchup tips against Blanka? Out of all the characters in the game, I hate fighting Blanka the most. I just don’t seem to have an accurate response to people who tend to use lightning every 3 seconds. Even though I’m not that experienced with the game, I should be able to do something against that move. Also, I tend to fall for some of his gimmicks like the hopping crap when I’m waking up. Any help will be appreciated.

MAN THE FORUM LOOKS GREAT! ONLY 20 SOMETHING THREADS! THIS IS AWESOME!!!

(V-Ryu inside)
I’m updating with my 2 old threads in this one.
I think some things already exists in others sections. Feel free to delete them in that case

Hey your not alone. I have trouble dealing with those people as well. Still finding a strategy against them since ours don’t work on them sometimes.
By the way, I’m in need of help against Rufus. Anyone got any match-up strategies?
