why would you slide electricity when you can do low foward scissor kick?
his level 2 ultra does like 15-20% vs most characters(lol) and he takes damage harder than akuma. So I guess he is legal at the moment. He can be pretty insane tho cuz his DP is good and his SPD i guess has same priority as gief…
If I am point blank close I do do cr. mk> scissors, but if there is space you don’t have time to get close+charge to do that, so the most you can safely do is slide.
BTW warning to Dic players:
If you EX psycho Rufus during his ultra, you will get vacuumed into eating whatever the rest of the super is.
Ryu killed me today with a fucking SWEEP while I was PYCHOing him, Mike Freeman saw it and his mouth dropped, it was SUCH bullshit. There was HELLA purple shit on the screen and I don’t know HOW I wasn’t considered airborn and smacked him in the fucking face to kill him, but I sure lost a ranked match on that bullshit.
I have accidentally clicked “Pacific North” instead of “Northwest” so many fucking times. Raaaaaage.
Seth v. Dan is where it’s at. Rick and I were playing on Live the other day and generally speaking, he won, but I beat his Seth with Dan a few times, which is awesome!
-h
Seth is just THE dumbest looking character in a non-shitty fighting game I’ve ever seen. The fuck is a Yin & Yang symbol doing there in 2009? Shit hasn’t been cool since 1993. Maybe they were trying to get Oppie from Nebraska into this game by doing that and introduce him to asian culture at the same time, I dunno. Seth belongs in Tao Feng.
GGs the other day Rick! Sorry if I sounded like an asshole, but Seth just bugs the piss out of me from a visual standpoint.
This coming from someone who loves a game that has Jeffry.
“Hay I’m big dumb black guy that roars!”
Great character concept.
It’s still better than Seth.
I though it was a well known fact that guys who hunt sharks roar.
I was playing some ranked matches, when both my right and left trigger stopped working mid match. I restarted the game, same shit. I unplugged it, and opened it up. Everything was good. Plugged it back in and everything works. Don’t know what the hell happened.
Same thing happened with my RT awhile back. Julius opened it up, closed it and it worked. I remember the button felt dull when it happened but then sounded snappy when it was working.
HOD: Overkill is a fucking hilarious game. The concept and delivery is balls awesome.
jacob, lol you have to play this game.
Dunno if I posted this before but [media=youtube]6h4GbdU08Mg[/media].
Raw.

And some of the challenges in SF4 are beyond difficult. It would be different if they had an example like the VF series did.
I am sad to admit I have been completely stymied by “combo LP into MP!” with Zangief. I’ve been playing Zangief for years (since XvSF) and have never knowingly done that combo.
I think the trick is to have YouTube or something open while you go through the Challenges so you can copy it that way. Sure is a lot of dumb stuff in SF4 to “unlock”. 
I thought I was making progress last night until I saw that there are 20 stages in “normal” time trial alone. Once I get the characters and the colors, I think I am done unlocking.
Although the “RPG” fan in me says… get everything.
For the time/survival trials: It’s been said before, but the computer really does die stupidly to Zangief’s PPP lariat. Walk forward, PPP lariat beats almost everything. As soon as they start to recover from the knockdown, lariat and hold forward. If they block that (Gief sometime does), move a step back before lariating and it’ll work again.
Use Blanka for anything that that doesn’t work for.
I don’t know if it’s a Rich Game or a dumb unlock system, I haven’t decided yet. It may not be as stupidly obnoxious as VF5’s unlock system, though, but again - you can just grind through both systems. I was reading stuff online and paying no attention to my lariating as I unlocked stuff. =P (For VF5, just pick Lion and mash A or down+A if you’re feeling frisky.)
matt that song is just fucking classic. is the whole game like that? crazy…
man i cheezed my way through the survival and time trials with sagat, bison, and blanka. i thought i should use gief but im not very good with him. lariat fucking owns though so i SHOULDDA took advice i saw on here earlier.
i have all the colors and taunts now though. fuck titles. i thought id complete all of them but if i dont get anything cool, im not doing it. most of the survival/time trial mode things are stupid…unless you get unlimited ultra and super hahahaha
Stop mashing so hard.
So will completing a survival/time trial only unlock the color/taunt for the character you complete it with, or for the whole cast? Cuz I will set that ass on auto-lariat.
It unlocks it for everyone.
whole cast. Gief is the way to go.
To me the biggest progression one can make in ST/HDR is learning how to combo into your super, after the obvious getting reversals and reversal throw/anti-tickthrow strats down.
In SFIV I think the big “next step” people can take is learning their phattest combo off of a Saving attack. I swear it’s like a whole new world is opened up to me now that I can combo my charge moves after an SADC… before I just had to settle for saving attack>Slide, now I can do 3x-4x that much damage depending on meter.
