I meant, which characters’ general game plan revolves around high offense/rush down kinda thing.
depends on the character matchup.
balrog (boxer) is probably who you’re looking for.
Boxer, Dic to a degree, Fei, but there is no free rushdown in this game, those chars are best when they get in your face and rush, but there is no “RUSHDOWN” only char in ST.
I posted in the Ryu thread, but I dunno if the thread is a little dead now or if my 2DF link scared people away since they don’t have it.
So I’ll post it here too, if it’s ok? A friend of mine was able to upload some of my matches on a different program since not everyone has 2DF and would be able to see the matches.

I played ST once in a blue moon before, but it wasn’t until recently when I started playing it consistently and get serious about it. I play Ryu, and was thinking about having O. Sagat as a side character. I’m Iceman in the vid, as that’s my 2DF name. I was just hoping for any suggestions, tips, constructive criticism, etc. Any help is appreciated, thx.
all the ST characters are good when they’re in your face.
Funny thing abuot dic is that he’s great when he’s in your but he sucks when you’re in his face. Dic gets owned by rushdown.
Of all the characters o.Sagat probably has the least rushdown. no grab bullshit, no fancy ticks, no crossup. Followed probably by honda. But honda has a cross up a, a command grab with no whiff animation and HHS and some funny butt stomp bullshit.
N.Ken’s my favorite to Rush down with:rofl:
Randomness is hard to defend against or counter:looney:
I’ve always liked to play Fancy as Possible:rofl:
I find that my DP consistency is pretty lousy in this game. I can get it out most of the time, but in a clutch situation where I really need it or even just during simple jump-ins sometimes, it won’t come out.
I think part of the problem is that I’ve been doing :r::qcf: for like my entire life, but I find doing the Z motion to DP to be slower and more awkward (I end up doing :r::df: or :r::db::d::df: a lot of the time). It was never a problem in any other game since the input windows are so much bigger, but given the DP’s variable window in ST, it’s been fucking me up pretty regularly.
Is it the way I’m doing it that’s messing me up or am I just not doing the motion quickly enough? I’m sick of doing walking fireballs and late anti-air fireballs all the time by accident.
just learn to play without doing DPs
dps all day.
i find that as long you’re doing the motion precisely the variable input window shouldn’t mess up your dps. for walk up dps just make sure you go to neutral for a split second before the dp motion, that’s what works for me.
I am having the exact same problem =/ I wish my Ken was cool.
Do a Z like it says on the cabinet label. That’s the best way.
UGH look at me crawling back to this sub forum again.
New character ranking chart up on ze blog.
Also Super Turbo tourney results from US, Japan and Europe for the last twelve months here.
Wow, chensor thinks Cammy vs. Honda is 0-10 Honda? o_o
things I hate about ST:
- low strong.
- mirror matches
discuss.
If you follow the ‘additional discussion’ link, I included the explanation that he sent me. I feel like it’s inappropriate if I comment on the numbers that people submitted BUT I would like to take the Chris Li 100 game challenge with my own Cammy. heh
Glad to see you back, dawg.
I agree cammy-honda is 0-10, if both players don’t make any monumental fuckups.
BTW James, I saw you in the hotel at evo, but there were like 10 of your friends so I didn’t want to seem like a fanboy dork for saying whats up, too bad I didn’t see you at the evo floor.
I only hate it when I have to play another Dee Jay player.
I hate mirror matching other boxers than ANY other character.
I find shoto mirror matches kinda fun, because it’s pretty much an execution fest. It feels like balrog mirror matches are “who can sit in down back and jab headbutt ANYTHING on reaction longer?” matches. THE WORST EVAR.
I think Honda mirror matches are the worst. They can go either one of two ways and neither one is pretty.
