Basic Video Tutorial/Guide for Total Beginners for SSF4

Mingtongzhi’s tutorials are tight. So helpful if you didn’t know what to do or your game was suffering.

Great tutorials, TBird. I gotta say that I learned quite a bit from your informative videos. Now all I gotta do is practice, practice and practice some more.

WOW ! You are great Tbird! This is amazing. These forums too. all this time im just spaming hadokus,smashing buttons & jumping around but this shit is super serious!! i gotta get practicing!

great post, helped me suck less.

As a new comer to SSFIV (and this site) I have to say that these videos helped immeasurably. A big, big thanks for spending the time and effort producing them.

Hey guys,

I created an SSFIV Yang Video. It’s a compilation of all his movelist and combos that were taken from my own cap and also taken from direct footages. Find the video here.

Comments and Feedbacks are always welcome.

nice guide! thank you

Thanks for all the hard work. I watched the VesperArcade tutorials and they helped immensely, along with reading all the faqs and stuff and they’ve enlightened me so much about how to play the game. Thanks!

As an older gamer and getting back into it, I really appreciate these newbie guides. Getting my game on has been so much fun!

This will hopefully help me out getting started.

these are actually pretty good. better than alot of the crap thats out there.

Came across this Japanese site detailing delayed crouch teching, how to beat it, and advanced option selects post crouch tech for the defender:

Google Translate usually does a pretty crappy job of translating Japanese but you should be able to figure stuff out from the video examples.

I’m a newer player and I watched all these videos. Thank you so much for producing them, they’ve really helped!

Thanks so much for producing these videos guys. So helpful!

I’m having a really hard time getting buffering to work. With the Haduken into super for RYU it’s meant to be D, DF, F HP and D, DF, F HP, right? I 've got it down a couple of times, but then I can’t get it again.

Do you hit the first punch just after the first circle movement, or at the end? It’s too fast to watch.

Hey I’m trying to learn to plink on pad any tips?

It seems this thread/forum isn’t used. Time to reroll Zangief!

just signed up to say thanks for these videos tbird, they’re incredibly helpful!!

I watched this movie;

And I have a question regarding the blockstring they suggest. The blockstring is **J.MK, C.LP, C.LP, C.HP XX Hadouken. **Thing is, the C.HP very rarely hits because you get pushed back. Only if you land dead-near your opponent you can follow with the C.HP

Should I learn another block string that’s more reliable? If so, which one?

edit: this mixup is so fucking bad either way, Jump-in does nothing but getting punished, worst fucking thing you can do. EVERY GOD DAMN TIME It’s punished, fuck this “mix up”

lol that’s my video. I think it says in the video you can do it without the jump-in. You can only do the jump-in off a knockdown and you have to time the jump-in properly. Against someone with a slow reversal you can do a forward throw, then step back and pause slightly, then jump-in and they can’t punish. Off a sweep you can hold up-forward and jump with roundhouse and they can’t reversal (shotos and really fast DP’s can though, it’s character specific whether it works!). You shouldn’t be jumping in outside of resets or knockdowns, if you are that’s the problem.

The Cr. HP is so that you can force a stand when you cancel into hurricane kick, which you will want to transition into doing once you are consistent with cancelling into fireball. If you think you’ll be out of range either do one cr. lp or just cancel into cr. mk.

I made some more videos on my channel geared toward beginners, it’s all of Ryu and it shows some other blockstrings you can use: http://www.youtube.com/mingtongzhi

edit: Actually watching it again it looks like I failed to emphasize that you need to knock them down first… sorry about that.
