Well if he lives in Windsor he always has the LegendsofLore:rofl:
Lowā¦so low! 
Why? Is he bad or something, cause Iāve never heard of him. By the way Psycho, are you still doing that player index thing? Of course, I havenāt chosen a character yet, so I wouldnāt be on that list whether you were still adding to it or not.
Nohoho: Iāll try that medium/flashkick thing, but when should I learn the super? I saw a video of a guy using Guile, and he did the move in like 1 second against Daigo. Of course this guy is probably 100 times better than I am.
Now, to business. I want to choose my character, I honestly donāt care who it is. Should I just choose someone I like to use or feel comfortable using, or should I go for the top of the tier list? Or some other way of choosing? Can someone give me there opinion?

I only put players who play consistently and are also known in tournaments. XBOX Live doesnāt qualify (obviously). And since you quoted my āso lowā quote, Iām making the assumption you live in the Southwestern outskirts. And knowing that area well for a great amount of years, there is no competition (for all fighting games) at all. Your best try is the World sub-forums but you wonāt get a chance at a valid response.
Donāt assume that I live there Psycho, I merely asked who he was. And thanks for the information about the index, I just wanted to know whether you were still adding to it or not.
Ice Bomb: if you want to learn this game, just choose whoever you like to play as, or feel comfortable using. If youāre not comfortable using so-and-so, even if heās a top tier character wonāt help you much.
You should also know which characters are top/low tier in this game, but donāt let that discourage you from learning to play them. Just keep in mind that with low tier characters, you have to work a LOT harder to make them good.
Thanks dogberry for that information. I was wondering about character choices for a while.
Just donāt bother with the super yet. Itās hard to do, hard to land, leaves you open, etc etc. It has very limited uses, and will probably only get you killed. ESPECIALLY if you go looking to bust out a super when you get meter.
Just learn the basic first. Like, throw a boom, and know how to hit them if they jump over it. Stuff like that.
Thanks, BKB. Iāll practice with Guile, and then on to Ryu after like you said. Iāll also do all the other stuff you recommended as well.

Iām sorry for posting about this again, but I honestly canāt pick a character. This may sound weird to you, but Iām just that kind of person. I canāt choose something easily, I always need someoneās opinion. Can someone please just give me a random way of choosing a character I can play. To be honest, I really donāt care what character I play, just as long as I can get past this point and play this game. Can someone please offer their insite on this. Once again, I apologize for this. Youāve all been very helpful with your information. The only thing Iām having a problem with is this.

it depends on what kind things āget you offā in a gameā¦
Do you like easy wins? Or, like having to work a little bit for a win? Some ppl like player lower tiers for the challanege of it.
Do you like big combos, spinner type characters, or controlling spacing/zoning? These questions might help you find a charater.
Think about that, then we can start narrowing it downā¦
Thereās a random match-up generator here. If you want something decided for you, go that route.
But since youāre just starting out, Iād recommend picking a character that suits your abilities. By abilities, I donāt mean whether youāre partial to turtling, rushing, zoning, or pokingāthat would be play style. What I mean is, if youāre having problems doing the Dragon Punch motion, go with charge characters. If you hesitate and canāt do specials in response to things, go with characters with great normals (like Dee Jay) for easy anti-airs. If youāre having problems combo-ing, start with someone that pokes (Dhalsim), does massive damage in trades (Boxer), or tick throws as a specialty (Boxer or Throw-Li).
You should try everyone out, and eventually, youāll find on that suits your play style.
Thanks for the random mathc-up generator. Iāll use it, but only as a last resort. First, Iāll tell you (anyone who reads this, primarily those who answered my latest posts) what kinds of things āget me offā in a game, and maybe you can tell me a character that can do the kinds of things that I like.
I like a challenge, not insanely hard, but not easy either. I like big combos, who doesnāt? The only problem with that is, that I have barely trained to learn any big combos yet. As for spinner type characters, I donāt even know what those are. Zoning and spacing arenāt things Iāve practiced either.
In addition to those things, here are some other things about my style. Canāt do a Dragon Punch motion, mostly cause I havenāt practiced that. I can do charge moves, but I canāt do Guileās super. Thatās all I can think of right now. If any of you can help me choose a character with this information, Iād be very happy. If you need more information, just ask some questions about my abilities and Iāll try my best to answer.

Well, if you love big combos, Iād say take up Boxer or Dictator. Both of those guys can deal 40~90% in a single combo. Boxer is definitely top tier because no one is more deadly when he gets within half-screen, and because he can also poke and come out ahead in trades. Boxerās Buffalo Head-butt can advance through projectiles (and itās a charge move), heās got the vicious walk under tick trap that can auto win against 60% of the field, and heās got no REALLY bad match-ups.
Dictatorās got issues since he doesnāt have a solid anti-air, and his super is his sole reversal move. However, his normals have excellent reach, heās got numerous touch of death moves, he can deal a ton of damage without a super bar, has numerous ways to cross up, and heās got ways to chip away life against many contenders.
I think I go with doughboy here. If you canāt do some of the most difficult motions then that help eliminate some of the cast for you. If you feel comfortable with charge characters, but not the flash kick super motions then that leaves you with:
Chun
Blanka
DJ
Dic
Honda
Boxer
You can break these six into 3 groups:
Boxer/Chun
DJ/Dic
Honda/ Blanka
Of these three:
Boxer/Chun, take the least amount of work to win with. They have many solid tools to win matches with.
DJ/Dic take an insane amount of practice to use properly. They can do crazy amounts of life off of one combo, but theyāll have to work very hard and be very patient to actually get to do them in a match.
Be warned, it is going to take HELLA work to make those combos seconds nature, so you can pull them off in a match consistently.
Honda/ Blanka are the easy to use, but have to work very hard to get it. They are slight combination of each of the above. They have to work hard to get in. Once they are in, they can take off a fair amount of life pretty easily with simple combos and throw mix ups. You can get a little more creative with Blanka but essentially there are very similar.
- Note boxer does take a fair amount of practice to use. But not nearly ass much as DJ/ Dic.
I personally would go for Boxer (agreess with doughboy). He is easy to win with, but takes time and practice to get him to that point.
You could say Chun. But I hate herā¦ LOLā¦ and donāt want to breed ANOTHER Chun playerā¦ Sorry NKI
Blanka would be my second choice. Heās fast, has small HARD hitting combos, and a good throw. But you may become frustrated with him. There is a big learnig curve to learning how to get in, and youāll eat HELLA DPs/Flash Kicks/ and other things learning. So, he may test your patience.
Anyway there is my 2 centsā¦ Good luck
.
Thanks to both of you. Iāll go over the material here, and figure out who Iāll pick ASAP.

Ice Bomb
P.S If anyone else has anything at all to add, it would be greatly appreciated. Well, Iām signing off.
Sorry for double-posting, but I was bored today, and started playing, and figured out how to use Guileās super. I was just doing the movement commands too slow. I mean, I canāt land the move 100% of the time, but I did it a few times when I used Guile. I guess that changes my options for characters now.

Here is a vid showing what Boxer is like in the hands of an expert. Fucking beastiality!
[media=youtube]VnG-OBPYa2I[/media]
Starting from 4.12 is pure pwnage
Naā¦stick with Rogā¦ i would at leastā¦
Iām going to go out on a limb here. IceBomb, my suggestion would be this. Try out every character in the game. I mean all of them, the new and old versions. Get a feel for the mechanics of the game. By doing this you can find out who you like using the most.
Not to be a dick but when it comes to suggestions for what characters to use donāt take anyones advice. Not mine, not fatboyās(sorry), not nohohoās(sorry), nobodys. Just playing around with the game and the characters and see which one you enjoy the most. Because it is after all, a game. A really, really fun game thats like crack.
