I mean, there's still tons of characters that still aren't playable and stuff ; Fei Long, Dan, Sakura, Gouken. He still didn't rate Gouki too. And yeah, the game hasn't been out yet for a year, so I think new stuff are going to be discovered.
heh, I got you, I would be anxious as well for a character like Sakura.
yea, I saw this, it's definetly a Flashback from what I see.
He does. I have a friend who played/plays as him.
That's good to hear. The few times I've played Street Fighter 3 for an extended period of time I'm almost always Akuma, so I'd hate it if my main character was banned.
He's pretty good, by all accounts. Best projectile in the game and a broken ultra lululul. He's the king of comebacks since his ultra scale with how much health he has left.
Well, compared to Ryu and Ken in Marvel vs Capcom, Akuma wasn't as good as he could've been, since lots of the things that made him powerful in the game didn't carry over well into the new system that Marvel vs Capcom had. He's still powerful, but it's the only game where Ryu might actually more interesting than he is.
Although I feel that Gief is great however he shouldn't be that high, Sagat is better then Gief so far, because in SF:IV, Gief actually has tough match ups, Guile and Ryu to a smaller extent comes to mind, because they can space Gief out of his gameplan which is landing SPD, and Guile can almost completely shut Gief out with his projectiles. Even Sagat does effectively well up against Gief due to his powerful spacing abilities.
Gief has no bad matchups. Guile is feeling bad right now and Dhalsim and Claw are very hard to win with. Ino said himself that with his Abel he doesn't lose more than a couple of rounds against any Dhalsim he fights.
How is that "not" a bad match up?
I give you Blanka and Sagat, but I'm still pretty sure Zangief beats out the others.
Let's not make excuses of the not "officially" out in the US what not, considering it seemed like you disagreed with me, and wanted to debate, I've had my own personal exp. playing SF:IV already, so I do have an idea of what's going on, so let's continue...
I agree for Sagat, But I don't know about the Guile/Gief one. Even if a Guile can zone and space very well, I still think Guile does not have the tools for the situations where he is being pressured and against a opponent's wall -All around, not necessarily with just Gief.-
As I said earlier, Guile's Sonic Boom is one of the key potents to keeping Gief on the defensive, because Ex-Banish is no good, unless you are super close and can actually have it land, otherwise it's dangerous to use it, because Guile recovers so fast, if you whiff, or have it blocked, Guile>Gief at that point. Flash kick and C.fp beat or trade shots with Gief's jump ins, resulting in the favor of Guile, if both took damage, so what, Guile obtains back the most important arsenal within his strategy to winning...positioning.
I'm not a big Gouki fan, however he's rush down base, and can also play a keep away game, SGS for his Super and Ultra is not comboable, or there is no known comboable links to it thus far. It has been used really when opponents least expect it, either on whiffed attacks, AA (although tough to land without Gouki getting hit himself), or when your doing string pokes on block and unexpectedly going into SGS.
I think that comboing into the SGS would clearly be broken, since Gouki could probably 0-death certain characters with low defense if his health is low and his ultra is charged up full. I think that randomly throwing it out is a good option, but at the same time most people will see the ultra being ready to be activated and change their game plan according to it.I'm not a big Gouki fan, however he's rush down base, and can also play a keep away game, SGS for his Super and Ultra is not comboable, or there is no known comboable links to it thus far.

However, look to srk.com, they'll have better strats from people who play Gouki, since I've always and will forever be, a devoted Ryu player
It doesn't take off alot, his regular SGS only does the same amount of damage that most typical supers do, however his Ultra does roughly around 45% damage. The differences is that the Ultra version moves twice as fast, and travels nearly or close to full screen I believe. Even if it was comboable, I don't particularly see it being overpowered at all, unless it was taking off insane damage like his older counterparts.
I think Seth is confirmed playable, although he will probably be banned if he isn´t nerfed. Teleporting back and forth doing double Sonic Booms...
Yeah, one moment you space incorrectly against a good Zangief player, say goodbye to a good chunk of health.
Yeah, I experienced that first hand at Evo. It's really difficult to get Sagat under the ropes. Although, I didn't know how to use the focus/saving system at the time.
Claw has low stamina, and he has a lot of bad matchups compared to other characters. Even though he's at the bottom of the tier list, the gap between him and others aren't too great.
This is the Japanese tier list, so he used the Japanese names.
