really? lol my bad. I got a cool 400 bucks to drop but should i waste my money on a 100 dollar wireless adapter or a 25 dollar ethernet cable?

 

[ThreeX]

Happy new years to everyone B)

@Twist-I always like direct connect, so i would go with the ethernet :| Up to you maang, when you do get it, hit up me up g/t is Deeeeejay XL (xbl)

 

[ETWIST51294]

Yeah, ima get the cable. Too much damn money for the wireless. Plus I heard its annoying to set up.

 

[Big-Cat]

It's a ***** to set up. And we should probably wait until later this month to duke it out. I hear ethernet is a more stable connection anyway.

 

[ThreeX]

kuma, do you know how many ms of lag your monitor has? I just got a tv with 6.5ms and it's fine for any other game, but I find it impossible to play sf on. I'm going to return it soon for a tv with 5ms, and hopefully I'll see a difference. A friend of mine has a 40" samsung with 5 ms of lag and i can play on it fine... B( i'm crossing my fingers.

 

[Big-Cat]

Mine is a 2ms monitor. The same one used at EVO '09.

Ironically enough, online seems even laggier now than it was on my HDTV. Guess the TV was masking the input delay.

 

[Atlus8]

I just bought a PS3 and SSFIV today! I won't set them up until tomorrow or Sunday! New Year's time baby!

Wait, 6.5 milliseconds? That sounds like waaay too little lag to actually notice; did you mean frames?

Anyway, I finally got SSFIV! Since I'm pretty terrible at the game, I'm going to practive a bit before I play against any of you guys online.

 

[Minato]

Last I played SSFIV was on New Years Eve. I think I'm done with SSFIV until AE hits consoles.
At least, I won't be doing Ranked Matches for fun in my spare time like before. I'll do Endless with friends though.

All I've been doing is playing Super Turbo lately.

nah, I mean milliseconds. It's getting annoying, everytime I want to play SF I have to switch to a CRT. ANYWAYS, what character are you thinking about playing?

 

[Lore]

I'll probably main Juri, but it's really too early to say for certain who I'm going to main.

 

[Sariku]

My first time posting in this thread, because all I've been playing is BlazBlue recently. But I play Juri and Ken. Mess around with Dan in friendlies, :]

 

[kr3wman]

I have you on my PSN already, right kr3wman?

I actually don't think so.

 

[Ryu Shimazu]

I feel like I found my character. With Guy it felt close, with Vega it felt way to weird, and with Juri it felt..meh. I'm really liking Akuma though :D

 

[Jam Stunna]

I actually don't think so.

I'll add you today then.

soo.. i'm thinking if every top player eventually switches to a twin, I might have to stop caring about sf4.

 

[Thrillhouse-vh.]

Why? The Twins are awesome. It could be just as exciting as a match with them in 2I or 3S at top play at this rate.

 

[ETWIST51294]

They are fun as **** to watch. No lie. They look like offensive beasts, which is the type of **** i like.

 

[ThreeX]

Yeah they definitely look interesting. But if they're stupid broken, I'll get very upset. Akuma might do aiight, so hopefully i'll be good.

Etwist, how did everything go with the ethernet cord?

 

[ETWIST51294]

I ordered it yesterday. Itll be here on friday or monday.

=p FireBalls are fun :D

 

[ETWIST51294]

fireballs are annoying. Too bad I **** scrubby Goukis. I get ***** by the ones that know how to vortex tho.

 

[ThreeX]

=p FireBalls are fun :D

fireballs are aiight.. it's all about that vortex B)

 

[ETWIST51294]

Shimazu: if you like fireballs Sagat is your man dawg. And I saw how you were complaining about how overused ryu and ken are in the fg thread but you play kumes? Wtf that makes no sense. Hes probably tied for second with Ken.

 

[Atlus8]

So, today I played online for the first time and I'm surprised how smooth the game runs (via PSN)! I'll get on every now and then cause right now I have a modem with a single Ethernet connection, but I'll get another router so I can connect my comp and system as well!

Add me up on PSN: Atlus8

 

[Matador]

PSN is bad on select games. Tekken is often unplayable while BB:CT is lagless. SSF4's usually okay, but it has its days...

Also, I'll leave this here...

I'll add you later this week just so I can actually play someone that's somewhat close to me and that has a good connection for a change.
Not being able to safe jump reversals is so annoying...

 

[Jam Stunna]

I'll add you Atlus.

I'm starting to realize that as much as I like SF4, it's probably not the game for me. I'm relentlessly aggressive; you can beat me by literally walking backwards the entire match, which just pisses me off, so I rush down even harder...and the results are not good.

 

[Matador]

I think you can still play that kind of style in SSF4, you just have to increase your baiting.

The thing I've learned about defensive players is that they're really vulnerable to baiting and footsies because they're already "waiting" for their moment. A careless jump-in or a predicted fireball...Their focus is to punish your every mistake.

For example, with Guy, when it's the last round and both players have low health, I have a ton of tools at my disposal to bait out what I want since they are more than likely playing heavily defensive at this point. Run xx Stop, crossup flip-jump, hozanto and ex run if I find them trying to punish something with a fireball...The downside is that some of it is risky, but characters other than Guy can bait much safer.

Also, be able to turn on the defensive yourself when you need to. ALL aggro doesn't seem to work in SSF4 with its range of matchups and character playstyles unless you read the player REALLY well.

I apologize for coming off as lecturing, I'm not even sure how we compare in skill level. Just sharing a few things I've picked up being a fellow aggro player.

 

[Jam Stunna]

I definitely need the tips, thanks. I play Makoto, so I have to stay in a certain range to be effective. I just get flustered easily and go into rage mode and get careless lol.

 

[Matador]

I play Makoto

Oh lawd! I assumed you still played Chun!

Once you figure out how to consistently get inside against heavily defensive characters with Makoto, she's very difficult for people to deal with...This coming from someone who loses to a Makoto regularly...

 

[Jam Stunna]

My Chun is still much better, but I have too much fun with Mak. I've been playing Makoto pretty much exclusively for the past two months, although I did start playing with Chun again in the last few days because I missed winning

 

[Matador]

I do the same thing with my Bison, lol.

 

[kr3wman]

learning not to get flustered is one of the more important things.

be more patient than your opponent, and you'll be the one punishing mistakes.

 

[Minato]

My only tip is for you to not jump on wakeup, especially against a shoto.
I can just option select DP you since Makoto and Chun can't even do much on wake up.

I do the same thing with my Bison, lol.

I'm finally overcoming the Bison matchup, lol. Well, with Ryu at least. It's still way too hard with Ibuki.

 

[Zero_Gamer]

Learn how to guess.

Realize how few options you have.

Counterpick.

 

[Big-Cat]

Don't forget to realize how many options your opponent has and what you've done already.

 

[Lythium]

Other option.

Play Honda.

Hold down-back.

Profit.

 

[Lore]

Yep, I'm definitely going to main Juri now. She's really fun to play, lol.

If anyone wants to add me on PSN, I'm WerekillV.
