i play advanced smash melee and brawl, but i've looked at a couple of street fighter two and 4 videos. man these guys are good, i want this game. it seems so technical and fun, like melee.
love viper, and i love the fact that as good as combofiend and even uryo/dashio etc are, you still get to watch them screw up her execution, feints coming out as ex, no burning kicks etc
Combofiend said something that stuck with him was the quote "your always ahead" and that shows here even though hes down like 70 to 5 he comes back after an epic comeback and wins. GG combo
This is another perfect example why I don't want to play with Akuma any more! He has to work to hard and still loose. This guy played with Akuma better than I do and he still was having trouble landing his moves. I liked the fake out helicopter kick in the air then bussed out the ultra right after, Nice. Michael Hurdle
Here are the results for Street Fighter IV at EVOLUTION 2009. Street Fighter IV 1) Daigo Umehara (Ryu) 2) Justin Wong (Rufus, Balrog, Abel) 3) Ed Ma (Akuma) 4) Sanford Santhrax Kelly (Akuma) 5) Long ShadyK Tran (Akuma) 5) Eduardo Vvv scrub Perez-frangie (Balrog, E.Honda) 7) Takashi Dan from Japan Hukushi (Ryu) 7) Ricky Ortiz (Rufus) 3rd, 4th, and 5th place (out of the 1000+ that competed) were all Akumas. Ed Ma placed higher than anyone in this match video with Akuma.

probably when ur a pro player you can see all the exploitable point of Sagat, for casuals, sagat is overpowered, maybe for pros he is just good now when u know his little tricks
i don't even play or own sf4, heck i don't even like it (dunno why i watched this), but it doesn't take a genius to see (and know from their status in this and other games) that this is extremely high level play. i would guess the best japanese guys would be a cut above, but these guys are better than 99.99% of players in the world (and probably 100% of online players)
valles ryu isnt that good. he doesnt do jump in medium punch, which has 2 hits so is much more likely to hit, and has 0 recovery time which means if it misses he can continue with a grab or poke into a long combo. also he makes a lot of stupid mistakes like that tatsumaki against that rufus. that was just... nah. im disappointed. his dictator's much better.
I thought Ed deserved the win- not that Valle didn't play great but I think he got a little bit lucky with the jump-ins a few times (his own and with Ed's)... here's hoping he gets through next time!
RoktheReaper, r u serious u went from G2-E to G1-B in two days??? G2-E started out at 2,000 bp and G1-B started out at 50,000 bp. That means you gained around 48,000 bp in two days? LOL
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Yes, I did. Once I realized Akuma was easy, I just played continuously and RARELY did I lose any championships in all those two days. And playing more than 5 hours a day, yeah.
RoKtheReaper isn't good enough at SFIV to constitute his opinion holding any value. If he believes spamming with high tier characters like Sagat (or playing keep away in general) is the ultimate strategy in SFIV, why haven't I seen him win any tournaments? He should be pretty big right now if his statements had any worth.
JingoJoe, I wupped your DK in Smash Bros. And you still talkin' that Non sense? Really?
And I haven't bothered going to any since I don't like the game, the same way I stopped going to Brawlfests simply cause I like brawl, even though I'm more than likely one of the Top Brawlers in Dallas (Ask Melee1).
The fact of the matter is, I prefer Third Strike to SF IV, I prefer Melee to Brawl, even if I'm better at IV and Brawl than Melee and Third Strike.
And I wupped Bored in a money match. You even said he was better yourself. So maybe I don't care to much about friendlies? Dude, I know it sucks when your favorite character isn't viable, but every fighting game has this problem. You either have to live with it, play a higher tiered character, prove 'em wrong and win some tournies with low tier, or quit the genre.
King of Fighters may be fun for you now, but I'm sure tiers will begin to divide the game as well. I'm sorry dude, its just happens.
Bored's technique was better than mine, and he did beat me pretty bad in Ike dittos. However, do not confuse my skill and character knowledge when fighting other characters to Bored's.
I beat your DK before, and I will beat you again. The only difference between us is that I noticed he had better Jab cancelling, and better B-Air auto-cancels than me. He also is a lot more defensive in his movements.
However, Name a money match. When you are certain to go a smashfest, I will be there.
Alright, I only ever got to Prince Bistro Tournament (pretty fail, I know), so I guess I'll see you there in 2 weeks?
Also, no matter what happens, I hope you realize this doesn't change what it takes to win in SFIV. Fireballs and keep away are definitely a part of the gameplay formula, but it isn't the only part.
As far as the wager goes, is $1 good for you? Or do you demand higher stakes?
Two weeks sounds good. And Let's make it $5, $1 money match doesn't do anything for me.
Also, fireballs are zoning so are normal, and footsies. Focus cancelling and all that, I know about all of those. Fireballs characters controls pacing better, also the vast majority of higher tier people have better attacks that are safer on block.
Switching from Cammy to Akuma, I went from G2-E to G1-B in 2 days.
It's sad, same way someone can jump from Ike to Meta and it increases skill. =/

But KoF XII is going to be awesome and hopefully make up what Street Fighter IV lacked. But not hate to those that support it.. Just not the game to me.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Well, first off, Street Fighter is a Campfest (Play online). And there are two many differentials in power and character differences.I'm also tired of the whole spamming of light punches and kick moves.
Notice, you don't see characters like Fei-Long and Cammy being played. Hell, I don't even see any Gens.
Street Fighter also has two many characters with similiar movesets. KoF to me is just an overall better game, more characters and will more camp/spam free.
KoF isn't Rush down and can be played Smart, it's just faster pace and you have rolling with everyone so projectiles have to be used smarter, like in Street Fighter III where you could Parry.
This game does promote fireball usage, which is why you don't see any low tier characters in tournaments. It's slow enough to take advantage of non-projectile users.
Ryu has hardly any lag on his Hadouken. Also, not knockin' SFIV, not the game 4 me.
Dude, KoF is and always has been about rushdown. The game is built around it. Don't believe me? Look at your set of movement abilities. (Run, short hop, super hop, roll) and look at your set of keepaway abilities.. uhh, super jump?
On top of that, almost all fireballs in any KoF game are fucking terrible. You assume I haven't played an SNK game or something.
KoF is fun for what it is, but 'Ryu hardly having any lag on his Hadoken' doesn't break SF. It never has, never will.
That's you right there. I like how you were trying to be rational about why you liked KoF over SF4 and a casual troll comment from me brought out the REAL part of you that says OMG SF4 SUCKS KOF IS THE BEST. Rofl.
KoF can be played either Rushdown or it can be played like Street Fighter IV where you keep distance. However, in KoF everyone can roll, run, hop back all that.
Street Fighter, encourages the use of projectiles and high level characters because lower tiers have to work extremely hard to keep up. Which is why I don't see anyone with a low character being used. I don't remember the last time I seen a Cammy or Dan being used.
KoF is just so much better, even graphics and supers.
SF4 can be played rush down or at distance. Everyone in SF4 can dash, jump, FA or use zoning special moves unique to them to close or open up distance.
People who think SF4 encourage use of projectiles would get their asses whupped by a good Rufus, Zangief or Abel before they knew wtf was up.
KoF and SF4 are fighting games with totally different styles. If you like KoF go play it. No one gives a shit about your opinion that it's better than SF4, really.
Please indicate which part is "doubtful". And Dan is actually pretty good in SF4, just that no one who is serious enough to appear in SF4 tournament uses him because he is supposed to be a joke character.
Doubtful, even if he was a Joke character, if people think he had a chance to participate with higher tier'd people he would be here, Joking or not.
Daigo used Ken regardless of his Favourite Street Fighter Character being Ryu in Third Strike based off of Tier.
You will only find people playing the same characters over and over in tournament of a "High Calibur" level. And the vast majority are projectile heavy users.
With no parry system or roll, slow movements.. graphics....FAIL.
ok dude while not everyone may agree with your statements regarding sf iv, it is completely understandable as to why you prefer KOF over it. I might give it a try one of these days, who knows.
Akuma>>>>Ken in SF4. He has more tools, tons of mixups, damaging combos, footsies, runaway game etc. With Ken u have to work more and his moves don't do that much damage.
edma with akuma? he has been showing ken 4 like a year! I bet there is some high tek shit he will bust out with at evo!!! I can't wait; this man is DEEP!!! By the way where is gootecks and moval's vids?
ComboFiend your Viper is NASTY!!! goodluck man and good luck team U.S.A!!!
For whatever reason, the EdMa/Valle and Valle/Sextaro matches just seemed so underwhelming. Lots of random mistakes by Valle, and EdMa. CF did play pretty solid, not really exceptional compared to what a great Viper looks like, but enough to get the job done.
But hey, if they won, they won. Valle/CF/Marn/Wong, we're at least sending some good names over to Japan.
lol yeah you right....my dream was TOUGEKI final valle (akuma) vs daigo (ryu) but this is only a dream! I think that valle is not much strong in SFIV like in SFzero3,,, :(
they were up for like 13 hours in this competition lol. both teams were worn out. if they wouldve been prep'd or something. the performance and mostly likely the ending of this fight mightve been different.
He was trying but he whiffed a few, as you can see by the ex dragon punches that came out. Im sure he will take care of that, or it could be the fatigue. This match was like at 2 in the morning
Alex Valle actually understands footsies. Some of you new players 20 and under will never understand. Heck a lot of people 27 and under still don't understand.
My comment is a reply to another guy saying "valle doesn't do the best combos" or something like that comparing him to poongko. Footsies is having a good ground game. To actually understand it fully is something few do, even the top top players. Go watch the alpha 3 world championships, valle basically beat daigo anytime daigo didn't have meter with footsies. To "know" footsies is completely different than being really good at it.
Hello man, I'm from Mexico and I really wanna know what does "footsies" mean. Sorry if I sound ignorant but I really want to know cause' I'm a big Valle fan. (Valle and Street Fighter are the same aren't ya?...jajajaja)
Footsies is basically your ground game. The ability to control the ground by the range of your normals. It's essentially how well your idea of spacing is. It's knowing exactly what range your moves will hit your opponent. It's pretty useful at high level play when you can no longer depend on gimmicks and shenanigans. Footsies can used offensively and defensively. Alex Valle use his in an offensive manner, but it's used more defensively on the East coast. many say that WC has better foots.
Pretty interesting you explanation, thanks a lot man. I have another question: what does "gimmicks" and "shenanigans"? I really appreciete your answer and your time, thanks.
Not sure if my last message was posted. But essentially gimmicks are a set up techniques that appear to be hard to fight against due to a lack of playing knowledge. For example, random tag in are Marvel are examples of gimmicks. Also Blanka crossup hops are another example. Shenanigans are similar, they are useful techniques, but have enough limitations to where you can't center your game around them. Vega walldive and Honda crossup butt slams are such an example. Or Sims noggie trap.
I would of been madder than a bitch if my fucking character got dazed in that situation... ohhh they would of had to get security or something cuzz i would of been heated. lol but nice comeback.... Mike ross's was better tho = ]
Fuck yea, as an akuma I already have some nice setups but that one is sick cus most will try to punish air ex tatsu. and edma is now my favorite player for exposing that setup. Thanks
i remember when that crazy USA chant started. ed ma had this hillarious look on his face like "..what the fuck?" it was kinda random to be chanting USA. kinda fucking hillarious tho. I think some cheeky bastards probably planned the chant and everyone just fell for it.
haha you had to be there for it man.. haha it was so funny cause when the players realized everyone was chanting USA they're faces looked so confused.
go to ufragtv(dot)com and check out the whole 40 minute duel. it was one for the ages. and for those who question Valle cause of this one vid, check out his play he is a big part as to why he and combo won this tourney.
Fucking Ed Ma with his Demon set ups lol.

Well, first off, Street Fighter is a Campfest (Play online). And there are two many differentials in power and character differences.I'm also tired of the whole spamming of light punches and kick moves.
Notice, you don't see characters like Fei-Long and Cammy being played. Hell, I don't even see any Gens.
Street Fighter also has two many characters with similiar movesets. KoF to me is just an overall better game, more characters and will more camp/spam free.

camp? wtf is that shit?
get the fuck back to smash or halo or madden or whatever the fuck you play.
some people prefer a thinking man's game where turtling and aggro are viable options, instead of the rushdown ashfest that is kof12. kthx.

This shows exactly how bad you misjudge things.
KoF isn't Rush down and can be played Smart, it's just faster pace and you have rolling with everyone so projectiles have to be used smarter, like in Street Fighter III where you could Parry.
This game does promote fireball usage, which is why you don't see any low tier characters in tournaments. It's slow enough to take advantage of non-projectile users.
Ryu has hardly any lag on his Hadouken. Also, not knockin' SFIV, not the game 4 me.
RoKtheReaper 2 years ago
Dude, KoF is and always has been about rushdown. The game is built around it. Don't believe me? Look at your set of movement abilities. (Run, short hop, super hop, roll) and look at your set of keepaway abilities.. uhh, super jump?
On top of that, almost all fireballs in any KoF game are fucking terrible. You assume I haven't played an SNK game or something.
KoF is fun for what it is, but 'Ryu hardly having any lag on his Hadoken' doesn't break SF. It never has, never will.
kilekun 2 years ago
Yeah, go play KoF (12 sucks major ass) then I guess. No one really cares because SF4 isn't a game like KoF, nuff said.

You fail so hard it's ridiculous.
KoF XII > SFIV dude.

That's your opinion. And it is mine that KoF 12 sucks, regardless of the existence of SF4.

I'm honestly lmao-ing... guess I hit the wrong spot in you to trigger off the fanboy-who-keeps-using-the-same-"retort" receptor in your brain.
It's your opinion. Go play KoF XII. Like I said, I don't give a shit what you think.

RoKtheReaper 2 years ago
That's you right there. I like how you were trying to be rational about why you liked KoF over SF4 and a casual troll comment from me brought out the REAL part of you that says OMG SF4 SUCKS KOF IS THE BEST. Rofl.
ocping 2 years ago 5
KoF can be played either Rushdown or it can be played like Street Fighter IV where you keep distance. However, in KoF everyone can roll, run, hop back all that.
Street Fighter, encourages the use of projectiles and high level characters because lower tiers have to work extremely hard to keep up. Which is why I don't see anyone with a low character being used. I don't remember the last time I seen a Cammy or Dan being used.
KoF is just so much better, even graphics and supers.
RoKtheReaper 2 years ago
Your points are extremely laughable.
SF4 can be played rush down or at distance. Everyone in SF4 can dash, jump, FA or use zoning special moves unique to them to close or open up distance.
People who think SF4 encourage use of projectiles would get their asses whupped by a good Rufus, Zangief or Abel before they knew wtf was up.
KoF and SF4 are fighting games with totally different styles. If you like KoF go play it. No one gives a shit about your opinion that it's better than SF4, really.
ocping 2 years ago 5
Doubtful. I want to see how a Dan fares against a Spamming Saggot.
RoKtheReaper 2 years ago
Please indicate which part is "doubtful". And Dan is actually pretty good in SF4, just that no one who is serious enough to appear in SF4 tournament uses him because he is supposed to be a joke character.
ocping 2 years ago
Doubtful, even if he was a Joke character, if people think he had a chance to participate with higher tier'd people he would be here, Joking or not.
Daigo used Ken regardless of his Favourite Street Fighter Character being Ryu in Third Strike based off of Tier.
You will only find people playing the same characters over and over in tournament of a "High Calibur" level. And the vast majority are projectile heavy users.
With no parry system or roll, slow movements.. graphics....FAIL.
RoKtheReaper 2 years ago
ok dude while not everyone may agree with your statements regarding sf iv, it is completely understandable as to why you prefer KOF over it. I might give it a try one of these days, who knows.

kwwalt01 2 years ago
For whatever reason, the EdMa/Valle and Valle/Sextaro matches just seemed so underwhelming. Lots of random mistakes by Valle, and EdMa. CF did play pretty solid, not really exceptional compared to what a great Viper looks like, but enough to get the job done.
But hey, if they won, they won. Valle/CF/Marn/Wong, we're at least sending some good names over to Japan.

weinerman 2 years ago
On the contrary, I'm pretty disappointed at the lack of FADC combos which would have won them their respective rounds. Namely Alex Valle.
Not saying he's not a good player though, but disappointed that he wasn't doing Ryu's most efficient combos given the meter.

He was trying but he whiffed a few, as you can see by the ex dragon punches that came out. Im sure he will take care of that, or it could be the fatigue. This match was like at 2 in the morning

Alex Valle actually understands footsies. Some of you new players 20 and under will never understand. Heck a lot of people 27 and under still don't understand.
lwst82 2 years ago
lol, i found out what footsies is in 10 mins and found out i did it without noticing.
Im 24 but i spent a good 10 years without street fighter in my life. So "never understand" is fairly over the top
Graftin2006 2 years ago
My comment is a reply to another guy saying "valle doesn't do the best combos" or something like that comparing him to poongko. Footsies is having a good ground game. To actually understand it fully is something few do, even the top top players. Go watch the alpha 3 world championships, valle basically beat daigo anytime daigo didn't have meter with footsies. To "know" footsies is completely different than being really good at it.
lwst82 2 years ago
Hello man, I'm from Mexico and I really wanna know what does "footsies" mean. Sorry if I sound ignorant but I really want to know cause' I'm a big Valle fan. (Valle and Street Fighter are the same aren't ya?...jajajaja)
DanCarrVaz 2 years ago
Footsies is basically your ground game. The ability to control the ground by the range of your normals. It's essentially how well your idea of spacing is. It's knowing exactly what range your moves will hit your opponent. It's pretty useful at high level play when you can no longer depend on gimmicks and shenanigans. Footsies can used offensively and defensively. Alex Valle use his in an offensive manner, but it's used more defensively on the East coast. many say that WC has better foots.
branh0913 2 years ago 2
Pretty interesting you explanation, thanks a lot man. I have another question: what does "gimmicks" and "shenanigans"? I really appreciete your answer and your time, thanks.
DanCarrVaz 2 years ago
Not sure if my last message was posted. But essentially gimmicks are a set up techniques that appear to be hard to fight against due to a lack of playing knowledge. For example, random tag in are Marvel are examples of gimmicks. Also Blanka crossup hops are another example. Shenanigans are similar, they are useful techniques, but have enough limitations to where you can't center your game around them. Vega walldive and Honda crossup butt slams are such an example. Or Sims noggie trap.
