Better still would be a ping filter: “only find 3+ bar matches”.
why was online so thrown together on this game?
is it down to the fact that in japan everyone has great connections, thus sf4 online only needed a very simple interface? why on earth would you want to search for a match by language and not country? that is simply retarded.
oh yeah i was going to tell you. you mean focus dashing the cross up right? i do that then crouch m.p him and back off. sometimes i dont get him though but i still escape. Also you really gotta make sure of the distance cause if he doesnt cross you up youll just dash deep into him and he can mess you up pretty bad.
We’d never be able to play anyone…
oh yeah, that focus dash move never crossed my mind before, so I thank you for that,aminx told me right away that your were focusing them and that your were being successfull.
How do you deal vs sakuras neutral jump? will this work as well?
looking to spar with some Guiles on PSN “HialeahFighter”
I just joined this thing and played luxxx who is a bad ass. He beat me every time. I need to learn those link combos
VGGS HialeahFighter. I had a blast. Too bad you got Gen 2x in a row during our randoms! lol Oh well, back to retirement.
i fought aminx last night and he messed me up pretty good. i never really got to know every match up so im pretty limited. So about Sakura’s thing i think you could probably focus and dash back. If im wrong its cause i dont actually know
yea man, I understand you vs aminx. I just play a few 100% cause I get drained playing 100% no mistakes, yesterday we had pretty good games, just wanted to have fun, cya
<<<<<<<<<<< add me im a little rust but i main guile and blanka , i need zangief practice
Viper player here looking to train with a good Guile. I hate bad connections though so I only want to play someone who is really close to me. I’m in Cinci so if anyone is in Ohio, Ky, or Indiana or maybe a little outside that area let me know.
Im in Ohio as well <<<<der,anywho u dont have to be close to get a good connection. i have a T1 and play jap players all the time no lag . anywho add me on psn
What’s your psn id?
anyone on west coast whats to play with gief?
i’m currently@3000BP
what’s your psn id?
Just picked up Guile about a month ago looking for some shennigans to pickup. I’m in Edmonton Alberta Canada so my connection to socal is about 3 bars and 4-5 bars anywhere else along the west coast all the way to alaska. My other char is Chun so if you need practice against her that’s cool too.
I played a bit over the weekend on PSN and jebus, the connection was horrible.
While Windows Live has more stable and better connection, the competition doesn’t seem to be that good compared to PSN.
So I’m wondering, is it harder on PSN because of the crappy connection (I get at BEST 3 bars, MAYBE 4 if the planets are aligned) or the competition is better? Or is it that I actually play better on a better connection (surprise surprise).
I’m not sure if you guys have played the PC version, but it’s an issue that came up. No doubt, there are some guys online on the PC version that are good (got mopped by an Elf…), but comparatively speaking, not as strong. Does a better connection make a better player?
And yes, I know that the best connection is sitting across from the guy in an arcade, but such luxuries aren’t always available to us…
Connection is always a problem. Bar strength doesn’t tell the whole story. I’ve played some decent 2’s, and I’ve had 5’s that were absolutely slaughtered by slowdown. I guess it’s because the bars only represent the connection when you meet in the lobby. After that, they could be downloading a bunch of stuff or even using a lag switch.
Of course, there are a lot of great players on PSN. Then there are the people who are ONLY good online. Lag makes it harder for us to compete with either.
No doubt that there are people who are only good online. Abusing the lagginess of the network. But as you’d said, there are undoubtedly people who are good.
Aside from the normal tech throws, and 1 frame links, if you have a decent Guile online (assuming good connection), it would translate into a decent Guile at the arcades. I could be wrong, but at least I don’t get my ass whooped if and when I go to the arcade…
As for the bar strength, it’s probably more accurate for the PC version than PS3. I wonder if they should have a mini strength bar in the corner somewhere. That’d probably be a bad idea as it would interfere with the HUD…
I sort of agree. I find online good for overall strategy and learning match-ups (or should I say match-up. Ryu anyone?). However, playing a ton online was making me fall into some really bad habits, like:
–not going for 1 frame links because they couldn’t be trusted
–not going for some punishes because of lag-crap (Ken’s FP SRK) and playing it safe instead
Those are just 2 examples, but they are good examples of how I was forming bad habits by trying to “compete” online. I feel I am much better now that I only do online for fun and general match-up tinkering.
yup these are my problems with online mode too. offline i have no problem with 1 frame links…the problem is my only competition is my brother, who beats me once every 10 games kinda deal.
i think that they should be made 2 frame links in super…just because how this game is being catered towards online play.guile is really hurt by lag, where lag makes ken better imo.
