Official **SUPER** Street Fighter 4 Thread of the much-anticipated Kas vs Sieg MM

[Sieg]

I don't mind banning them, I was playing way before console came out and I didn't want to touch the ****pile they added.

Balrog is all the man I need anyway lol.

But seriously, console charas aren't even broken, the best one is probably Gouken and even then he's trash.

(Don't hit me Iso) XD.

Saddly true, it feels like they've intentionally set the bar below the other characters with all of them... here's hoping they patch them to buff them a bit.

 

[Vyse]

I don't like the idea of patching fighting games. Though, that's the traditionalist in me talking.

I do agree with how they patched out Ivy's infinite in SC4

I'm the opposite personally, I think all competitive games need post release patching, and in this day and age there really isn't any excuse not too. Do you think Koreans would be playing Starcraft 10 years after release if it wasn't patched up to keep balanced? Hell no.

 

[Sieg]

I just think they need to release a patch for console charas to be on arcade boxes. Other than that, I don't think theres any other reason to patch personally.

 

[Isorropia]

It comes down to the design philosophy, I guess......from playing as Vega I can pretty confidently say that he could use some minor tweaks. His down-forward MK looks for all intents and purposes to be an overhead....but it hits high. His EX wall dive should totally go through fireballs, and......well, depends on how they want it designed, but vega's losing mask+claw shenanigans seem unnecessary.

 

[Vyse]

 

[Sieg]

His mask and claw loss has always been there hasn't it? It's just the way the character is played I guess lol.

 

[Vyse]

Myeah, it's just the way he is. Mask has always lost his items mid match, so I think it should stay that way.

:/

 

[Isorropia]

Yeah, the problem is that they have too much of an effect. When he loses his mask his stamina drops to 750. When he loses his claw he loses a lot of range.....it was cool back when he first appeared, now it just seems to be a handicap that no other character has. If the effects weren't as major, then it'd be fine to have it as a character quirk, adds some mindgames when they come off, I guess. But yeah....getting your health crippled isn't fun.

 

[undead_moose]

You can use it as a taunt

its like beating something with dan

EDIT: You can even EX taunt it

that would sting

[TakFR]

Wow..... Balrog is getting more broken by the day

Video of absorbing 2 hits: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r7iWYL_22TM
Video of Absorbing 1 into ULTRA CANCEL: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mmx4RqruYcA

Dash upper loop: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hJWh9kpPmvk

 

[Sieg]

Yeah, I've known about these things for a bit.

EX Upper is like, a godly move, even if it whiffs you can like instantly grab out of it.

With the video of him absorbing two hits. He's either doing a super fast FADC into EX straight, or he's using it like the Ultra cancel, where they EX into a fireball and instantly start up another one, even then, it's pretty ****ing amazing lol. He must be pretty skilled.

Although they are cool things, there usefulness in a real fight isn't that good though.

 

[Isorropia]

Pfft, that's got nothing on the zangief armour absorb into ultra. Mainly with how....physically impossible it is for a human to do.

 

[Sieg]

Asians aren't human remember.

 

[Get that Rat]

I use Abel, and according to Michael I'm alright at him. Better than Booker.

 

[unreon]

YAY exams are over so now I can go back to SF after 2 months of hiatus.

Awesome!

That makes me you and dave who main Abel. Turns out the cooliest people in the world loves the frenchmen <3

I might pick up a new character though. Abel just loses to anyone who jumps in/headstomps. Or anyone with a move like flying headbutt/rollout. Just...so fustrating T_T I might train my Ryu or C.Viper to something somewhat decent...currently still stuck in the 3s mentality and not using light pokes all day =S

 

[Isorropia]

Nice matches tonight Sieg, lag in the second half was disappointing though. What happened when you stopped moving for a few minutes, then picked c.viper?

Anyway, our bison vs balrog matches have come so far from their beginnings. *tear* Both of our corner/wakeup pressure games seem pretty hard to deal with. At least I know j.fierce on wakeup is annoying if I don't have an EX stock...

Also on the zangief front....**** Balrog's aerials have ridiculous priority, range, speed.....beats out everything zangief has except for early j.HK or nj.headbutts. But then, blocking the jumpin and mashing out a reversal ultra/super seems pretty good for taking away the last half of your health when I have a sliver left. (I'm guessing you didn't like that part. >.>). And why is it only now I think of the best way to deal with it? *sigh* Have to try it out next time, I guess....

 

[Sieg]

That was me being annoyed at your Gief when I left. I got a drink, sat down, and became cheap.

Your Bison. It's awesome lol, its awesome when I finally beat it down, but it's annoying when you come back and win. So annoying. I've tried to find something that can help me obtain the advantage against it, but you always find something awesome to come back.

I have to post a pic of my rage smashed controller one day. It's like my battle scars of losing.

 

[Get that Rat]

I also plan on taking up Ryu for counter-turtles and gays

Name: Andrew 'Juggie' Lai
Alias: Greatest Troll-ever-to Roam-the-earth (GTR)
Version: TBA
Gamertag/PSN: TBA
Mains: Abel, Ryu

 

[l3oOkeR]

so michael do you have my $50 ready?

 

[undead_moose]

You mean my 50 >.>

 

[Sieg]

More like my 50.

 

[Get that Rat]

More like Timezone's 50.

 

[undead_moose]

at most time zone will get 4 dollars

 

[Vyse]

More like jur mada will get at most 4 dollars.

So once I get good at SF4, I'll probably have to take up a higher tiered character. Maybe I'll take up Zangief. He looks so fun and he kinda suits my style : D

 

[Sieg]

Everyone takes up Zangief because he has the Lariat.

High tier ***s, ask Iso what happens to Zangiefs.

When they face the almighty Blackrog.

 

[Isorropia]

Lariat? Pft, jab>ultra and reversal ultras in the middle of botched link comboes are waaaaaaay more fun.

And just you wait Sieg, I've been figuring out ways to beat your bunny rabbit strategy....provided online delay doesn't kill my inputs. >.>

 

[undead_moose]

You cant beat his boxer


oh great lordy bordy. He will charge you EVERY TIME at the start then start bunny hopping..... thats all im going to say

 

[Isorropia]

I dunno about not beating him, Sieg's raged a fair few times vs my Gief. >.>

 

[undead_moose]

Sorry i misunderstood the post

And yeah he will rage if you

A hit him with the same move more the twice

B beat him

C beat him in a ditto

D Use a taunt and then hit a ultra

If you have done any of these Siegs controller now has another scar

 

[Sieg]

I'll rage when I feel like. Have fun getting embarrased as Ryan says.

Sorry charging at you always works Nick.

 

[Vyse]

Basically if you want Michael to be happy you have to not beat him.

 

[Sieg]

Shut up.

So I like winning.

Not my fault.

 

[Get that Rat]

The funniest part was when Vyse said "when I get good at ____".
I lol'd pretty hard.

Best way to make Michael rage is to give him tips and pretend you're trying to get him to win. Then when he loses you telling him how much he sucks. Then he tries to fight you.

Oi cun+

 

[Vyse]

The funniest part was when Vyse said "when I get good at ____".
I lol'd pretty hard.

Well I figure Street Fighter IV will be around for like, 10 years.
I'm bound to get good at the game eventually I figure.

Or I could keep playing Guile, works for me.

 

[undead_moose]
