Ultra Street Fighter 4 | General Lounge


Nice to see Hakan so high. :smiley: . When I consider, how many times the SRK forum tells you, how much he “sucks” or “bad” he is, it´s nice to see this.

An inner voice telling me that I shouldn´t be surprised about Rolento and Sagat, no clue why.

s.hp blowing up cr.mk looks so silly though.

Ono confirmed on the SSFIV:CR stream that Japan will get the arcade version on April 17th.

So much for the April 8th stuff that was going around. Kind of odd how arcades seem to release on thursdays for games while almost every other form of media (including home video games) releases on Tuesdays.

I guess maybe this means the arcades will be able to buy the arcade cabinets on the 8th but the game wont be out until the 17th for public use? Probably locked with the nesica stuff?

Also the april 17th date kind of makes sense given the sales of the guide releasing on april 18th:

Releasing a week and a half after the game comes out would probably mean less sales than releasing the day after.

If it hits low enough to counter ryu’s cr.mk, it’s even dumb. I know dudley has a problem with good low but they buff his cr.mk to deal with this don’t they.
Capcom : “All right guys, dudley players want him to be really good in ultra, let’s give him a palm.”

I wonder if it hits low enough to counter chun’s cr.mp, because if it does that will look really silly.

Dudley’s S. Hp is going to hit lows now? That’s uh

I know he needed better footsies, but this feels too simplistic a change. I would have expected a better F MP. or F. Mk or something.

Actually the only thing it’s missing is a strong zoner. Throw Sagat or Dhalsim into that mix and it would be good to go. I know Guile is in there, but I feel like he doesn’t zone as well as the otehr two. He’s better at making you afraid to advance, than actually fucking you up from 3/4 or fullscreen

Juri getting 4th place makes me feel all warm and fuzzy

Speaking of popularity contests, I wonder if the Namco side of the Tekken crossover will ever happen. I remember they did a poll to gauge what characters people wanted to see represent the franchises, and then we heard nothing

FUN FACT: I clicked that first link to Ayano’s blog, and had Google Chrome translate the page. It turned “Akuma” into “Australian Demon”. Lol what the fuck even

i like dudley new fierce. i think the game needs more buttons of doom.

my anti dudley strat with most of my characters is to spam low forward-esque button 2 in 1 that beats focus, and AA jump ins. he cant do shit about it right now aside from throwing out that million active frame cr.mk and hoping i bump into it

the problem is that not enough characters have those kind of buttons you have to fear. lots of bad hitboxes on buttons that do 70-90 damage. more super beefy buttons is a good thing

Here’s a USF4 segment from the SSFIV:CR livestream. We get to hear more of Elena and Poison’s themes in this one. Gameplay starts @ 3:50 mark:

I’m gonna discover new yorkey tech with DeCapre, when someone does something crazy with Decapre’s Psycho Stream and Ex teleport on stream, you know who did it. O_O
But seriously, that Psycho stream start up animation is bad ass, she says something like “don’t interfere!” then face palms.

S.HP beating cr. whatever doesn’t make any sense in the slightest, especially with the move dudley has for his HP. It’s a punching straight for crying out loud. His lower body is supposed to be wide open for low attacks to punish it. Why not just buff the priority of one of his crouching moves then? That hp buff is just too much imo.

Apparently Gen turns into Original with Google Translate FailFish

have you seen his crouching moves? his sweep is that launcher thing and his cr.mk is already pretty good. 6 active frames good hitbox 8 frame start up hard KD

id rather him have the stHP than for that cr.mk to be any better

His f.mp is also good vs cr.mks. I’ve also seem kuroken do spaced mp mgbs preemptively.

I don’t know why dudley needs an answer all button or why he can’t have disadvantaged matchups vs people with cr.mks.

really? he’s bottom 10. maybe bottom 5. and he plays honest fighter 4. give the guy a break

you guys acting like they buffed akuma sweep

Yeah I don’t care either way, he has mostly honest oki.

It just looks really stupid, specially with the amount of active frames that thing packs. Imo he already has good walkspeed and ok tools to get around it, I don’t see a problem with this range being slightly uphill battle.

He also pretty much makes fireball zoning obsolete. Duck is probably the best antifireball move in the game considering it’s meterless. I don’t see what shotos can fallback on now.

Reading the bold part and seeing it in action isn´t the same. Never would have thought that it would be that stupid good.

I’m gonna be all over that psycho stream as well, I can just imagine the possibilities.

I noticed Poison can do (CH) AA QCF+P, juggled into love me tender xx grab. Maybe you can FADC into it as well? Unless AA or CH AA projectile causes float.

EDIT: She later juggles with far s.HP after CH AA projectile, so I guess it just causes float.

No dudley player has asked for a buff to his already godlike fierce button we just wanted

  • hitbox on his buttons fixed
  • ssb armor breaker
  • make thunderbolt better
  • mgb less negative on block and less pushback

As usual capcom listen to some of the changes but added in their own stuff just for the fuck of it.

I asked for his C.mp to hit lows which would make more sense. And yes I agree dudley that Dudley’s F.HP hitting lows like ryus c.mk and chuns c.mp looks fucking stupid. But with this change he can now fight the entire cast fairly now

i think the game could use a bunch more grounded super good buttons for footsies and AAs

how many footsie buttons do people really shit themselves over? its really only a handful.
