IGN Strategize Street Fighter 4 Tips & Hints

[BoltactionBunny]

Fuck this bitch; I've never lost to a Ken using Dan.

Respect The Saikyo arts.

[SuperHypnoWave]

Ryu: "Howudoken"

Ken: "Fine thanks"

[ReBeLiLiLiLioN]

İ don't like how she underestimates the Dan

[BlazeEx21]

She claims to know what shes talking about, why does she keep calling a hadouken a fireball?

[KanameTousen]

@BlazeEx21 because you can apply "fireball" to any projectile in the game also because a new player wouldn't understand "Hadouken" Which is this is for. she uses Hurricane Kick instead of Tatsu so yeah she's just trying to be general for audiences. Plus Hadouken has be mistranslated MULTIPLE times as fireball

[Durush1]

i just got this game so im just using an xbox controller. i checked the control scheme for chun-li and vega and most of there moves have two analog movements with a white box connecting them how do i pull those of in noob term meaning a b y x please help someone

[KanameTousen]

@Durush1

it means do the first movemoment and hold it for 2 Mississippis then press the other direction and the the button

[POLIESTER191]

0:25 jizz in my pants

[XDragdayX]

4:39 hitting select you..... ohh wait isnt it xbox?

[JohnnyBoy933]

keep pressing 0:26 over & over. lol

[ceycoon]

I have buyed the Game yesterday but im a Big noob-how can i Punch the Opponent in the Sky?? (Bsp 1:55)

[KanameTousen]

@ceycoon

Only certain characters have those type of attacks they're usually pulled off by Pressing Forward then down Down and then down and foward while pressing a punch or kick (if you look in the command list option in the pause menu during an offline match against the computer or another player) these are called a "Dragon Punch"/"Dragon Kicks "after the main characters (Ryu and Ken) attack (Shoryuken) which is translated as that.

go to trail mode to get the hang of your favorite character.

[TechnicalTrexz]

I thought the Pose at 0:26 was pretty cute :o

[MrPennysPop]

Best IGN Strategize ever. I really learned a lot from this. 0.26-0.27 was amazing! ^_^

[rammefication]

Oh My God. Iove you!!

[passionkev01]

haha dan to a ken 

[nahhchill]

@MrMaksuSan i know right i hate how they put these stupid girls that know nothing to do these vids, im not being sexist im just saying

[samuelandjorge]

that was adorable

[suneel7]

My 'fast get up' game is scrubby =P

[Jewbelliousofdafunk]

throws also counter punches unless that update happend

[KanameTousen]

@MrMaksuSan she actually might have said yata, she was doing it very high pitched....

[monsterhunterminegar]

@MrMaksuSan Wow trolls really look for stuff to bitch about nowadays, don't they?

[KanameTousen]

@monsterhunterminegar stop feedings the troll

[monsterhunterminegar]

@KanameTousen How am i feeding him?

[KanameTousen]

@monsterhunterminegar by acknowledging them

[dogmen1321]

Calling all gamers, if you ready for a real scrap, checkout Dogmen in developement

[ChrisDoran696]

i don't even know how to combo

[ztheking11]

I would LOVE to smash Jessica Chobot....

in SF4 of course. O_o

[200freeswimmer]

i just got this game, its too confusing but so much fun

[Eidlones]

So how do you cancel out of a focus attack? I see it all the time but whenever I try I have no choice but to attack.

[KanameTousen]

@Eidlones Dash you have to dash out of it that's why it's called a FADC or Focus Attack DASH cancel, dash simply by pressing right or left twice while in the animation

[rocknflip66]

Jessica Chobot and Olivia Munn in one show and im set

[12Thewower]

nice tips ty

[AkiraPKMN]

that Chun Li victory pose was actually quite HOT!

Girl Gamers rock!

[LiangHuBBB]

Dan is actually quite solid once he gets a normal fireball.

[nunu1871]

thanks so mach ^_^ great tips I love it keep it up

[JohnnySBP1996]

these moves are so ahrd to pull of in with the normal xbox controller, im not rich or anything and i really dont have a lot of money to spend. would you guys recomend the fightstick?

[KanameTousen]

@JohnnySBP1996 simple solution...sell your xbox get a ps3

[RiceeAndSpam]

@KanameTousen haha yupp.

[atuih]

@KanameTousen thats horrible advice. i dont consider myself a fan boy and i would have a ps3 if i had the money to spare... but its fact that xbox live is the superior online service... ps network is free.. but you get what you pay for imo.

[KanameTousen]

@atuih

Wrong on multiple fronts, both services depend on the connection of the person(aka if you have a bad connection, you have a bad connection) not the service it self, there's nothing superior about XBL just that you run into people with better connections, but hell If I paid 50 dollars just to play online I'd make sure I had a better connection. If you want to get into Add ons like twitter and facebook, PSN has a full FREE web broswer you can use to go to those sites. and we got netflix

[veldshpay420]

@KanameTousen lol to bad psn sucks lol and i have a computer to go the internet..... xbl games are better and xbla is better than psn shop imo

[KanameTousen]

@veldshpay420 So you're going to use the twice the electricity? and "better" is an opinion.

[veldshpay420]

@KanameTousen i never said it was fact wirtten in a tablet did i ? ans yes i dont really care about electricity because at least i have good games imo

[veldshpay420]

@KanameTousen never said it was fact did i ? and idc about electricity when i can play all the games i like, such a s perfect dark and hydro thunder :P

[HazenMustaine]

@JohnnySBP1996

If the fightstick is out of your budget, the fightpads are a good choice. They're half the price of the stick and work well. They have a six button layout and a round d-pad that makes the game much, much, much easier to play.

[CouchPotatato]

@JohnnySBP1996 Dude just practice

[JukemDrawles89]

at the stupid ad, the best part about my keyboard is the F5 button :)

[KanameTousen]

@JukemDrawles89 Sorry about that, since it's an IGN video I can't tell it "DONT FUCKING SHOW ADS"

[MarkusVhane]

Why, what's wrong with Dan?

[Boogeymangr]

I still can't figure how to cancel normal attacks :S

[KanameTousen]

@Boogeymangr you can only cancel Special attacks like shoryuken, hadouken and Tatsu and you can only cancel it with Super or using EX you can't cancel normal(aka foward and punch) attacks

[Boogeymangr]

@KanameTousen thanks!

that explains why I keep failing blanka's 3rd normal trial but how am I supposed to link Ultra to heavy punch if I can't cancel it?

[sonicrulz101]

@KanameTousen Um,Ryu can go from C.HP to Hadoken to Shinku hadoken in a cancel combo,so rethink that.

[KanameTousen]

@sonicrulz101 C.HP to Hadouken is a link(an attack that can flow into another) and that into shinkuu hadouken is a super cancel(a super cancel can stop the recovery time, time you wait after throwing out a special attack, of the Hadouken and instantly let you throw out Shinkuu. so you can't cancel out

[SukiyakixD]

@KanameTousen

wrong.

c.HP into hadouken, is a special cancel, you cancel c.HP 's animation into a hadouken. A hadouken canceled into a super is a super cancel indeed tough.

A LINK, is when you hit an attack, wait for the animation to finish, and THEN you input the next attack.

Ryu's c.MP , c.HK is a link.

c.HP xx Hadouken xx Shinkuu is a normalm move, special canceled, then super canceled (xx = cancel one thing into another)

[KanameTousen]

@SukiyakixD cool....don't care....I don't play Ryu or any fireball character beside sometimes gouken and a lot of Cody

[SukiyakixD]

@KanameTousen

neither do I.

I play Ibuki . So what? canceling and linking are concepts every character uses.

[KanameTousen]

@SukiyakixD yep but doesn't mean I need to learn ryu's links an cancels right?

[SukiyakixD]

@KanameTousen

no my boy, thats called an EXAMPLE

[Assassin887]

All Im going to say is, I REALLY HATE KEN.

[rorycantrell]

I thought her pose was cute.

[STRATOMARlO]

zzz

[KanameTousen]

@STRATOMARlO No sleeping in my comments so gtfo and don't click on the video if they bore you especially if your commenting on something a year and 3 months ago

[TheCheeesyOne]

at exactly 0:26 I GOT WOOD

[shanetm]

wow... chobot is a retard

[KanameTousen]

@shanetm How so?

[shanetm]

@KanameTousen the chun li pose she did was flat out bad and out of place, yes?

Sorry I suppose my choice of words was bad, shes not a retard. But that one part of the video some how offended myself...

[KanameTousen]

@shanetm

Who cares if it offened you or if in your opinion she failed, it wasn't out of place in the context of those who a familiar with street fighter and if you listen to the japanese Voice acting doing that win pose she wasn't that much off in pitch or tone....

[KanameTousen]

@shanetm and if your going to complain DO IT BETTER YOURSELF that way we know you know what your talking about

[pl225]

dont mess with dan the man!

[Sakkboi]

umm, i can get just about everyone's SUPER combos down, well most, but what I really wanna get down are people's ultras :( what troubles me is the (ANALOG, ANALOG+3 PUNCHES OR KICKS)? Any suggestions?

[KanameTousen]

@Sakkboi

If your playing on a controller it's easy since the Left top buttons(L1 L2 for PS3 and Left Buttion and Left Trigger) are assigned to all 3 kicks and all 3 punches since it's the same double motion

Go on trainning mode and train with them

[ReaperSigma777]

i just got the super SF4 today and i cant play meduim mode for nothing ryu owns with the uppercut constantly

[KanameTousen]

@ReaperSigma777 Block then grab as they land(Light punch and kick togehter)

[edinkirk]

how to defend against vega Slide Sweep,my brother is doing it again and again,when my fighter(seth) stand up(from ground) he just slide sweep

[KanameTousen]

@edinkirk hold down and back

[ed0985587]

not im waiting for a street fighter alpha series with a bit faster gameplay with online

[ed0985587]

i love this game (and all street fighters) and the fact they added online gameplay is just a big bag of badassness!

[frikkelfrab]

I guess i'm getting a little better at SF4. But I still suck! For the very first time today I finally beat some people online! But then I got to face people who were so pro I coulden't even do anything back... Should I just keep practicing and practicing? And where? Training mode or something? Thanks! :D

[KanameTousen]

challenge mode and against friends

[frikkelfrab]

Okay, thank you!

[Jeeeeec]

the reason why i hate this game so much is because of its difficulty, LOL my lil brother owns me in this..

[KanameTousen]

Cause he plays more

[phynyte]

@Jeeeeec haha its funny you can be the most hardcore gamer and your 13 year old brother ( <- just generalising) can smash you in this game because the game is just made that awesome haha i love streetfighter like that (and super smash bros .... but streetfighter more ....oviously lol)

[justhere348]

From a Dan to a Ken HAHAHA XD

[missionkid]

this is the most complicated game with a joystick

[xLeonicc]

@missionkid Practice, that's the key, Training mode is pretty useful

[missionkid]

hey i did and i love the game now Im not amazing i only play about 5 hours a week but this has to be one of the best fighting series i like tekken too

[JessicaAfonsox]

how do you lyk throw fire balls and stuff you dont tell us any buttons? xbox 360

[KanameTousen]

@JessicaAfonsox I didn't make the video, if you open up the command list you'll see how to do it but if you can't read/don't know how

press down then quickly press down and foward(sliding your thumb toward foward) and then just press foward and push the punch button as you are just starting to press foward and you got a fireball if your character can shoot them

[supersims796]

I am glad this vid is here. I've always been "ok" at fighters, but advance moves (or even normal moves used correctly) has always escapped me. This vid is a great starting point.

But first, I gotta get the game!

[michaelpapa]

3:40 what does she mean by a double fire ball motion? is she saying to tap the joystick twice?

[dennis0430]

Fireball motion (down, down/right, right) x 2.

[KanameTousen]

Down, Down and to the toward your enemy at the same time, toward your enemy. do that two times fast.

[Ramonmedina15]

wow so dan is the weakest alright....wow i got beat by him....but the player was good damn him....

[KanameTousen]

Like I've said before if his attacks connect he's the strongest shoto when comparing him to Sakura, Ken and Ryu

[supersims796]

That doesn't mean I gotta stop making fun of him, right?

[jgallantyt]

I bought SF4 last night on Steam so I was pretty lost. The game does a poor job if teaching these concepts to the player. This video cleared a lot of the new player fog I was experiencing. Can't wait to get back into it.

[KanameTousen]

it expect you to come in playing the arcade atleast once

[sk8rdan7313]

Yeah it is the 4...so yeah..You play PS3? I would love to play you, add Brutalion, I can show you some stuff.

[sacul2055]

DAN the man Hibiki, winning with him is just an awesome feeling lol.

[KanameTousen]

it's hard but funny when you do just like "DUDE YOU GOT BEAT BY DAN! DAN!"

[PhantasyNoName]

Man I SOOOO cant wait to buy the game =D... what do you guys suggest... arcade fight stick or the fight pad..?

[KanameTousen]

Stick if you want that arcade experience and don't mind shelling out the cash, fight pad if you do mind shelling out the cash and just want something better then a PS3 controller(I say PS3 and not PS3/360 because everyone knows the 360 D-pad sucks and it's hard to get a flow going with the stick on either)

[sy0n]

LOL @ 0.26

[Wilbo23]

STOP THE DAN HATE!

[KanameTousen]

Dan needs haters that way when you beat them they can feel even more hurt knowing they got beat by the "Weakest" character

[SuperJim64]

@Wilbo23 Dan is weird that's why he is awesome quite overused but he's got good moves s o he is as good as he is bad

[slentzz]

its best to learn from the professional people like Daigo Umehara and mago them lot coz i learned a lot of move's and combos by watching there fighting videos.

[KanameTousen]

some people might not know basic input now if you could show button input on those videos it would be awesome

[slentzz]

i would like to show u but i cant coz i get nervous front of the camera lol but neway yh its a good example to learn the basic moves so yh i would of done the same thing. its a good upload my friend thank you

[KanameTousen]

I really don't care to learn from pros

[rotkvarijacarevi]

is harder to fight in SF4 or Tekken 5?

[KanameTousen]

Depends because while I know theres way to get lucky and beat anyone in tekken u also can get beat almost anyone just by simply chain tiger shots and tiger knees with Sagat however if you use a character a characrter that dosen't have a fireball attack I would have to say SF4 because tekken dosen't have distant attacks like Hadoukens with all the normal playable characters

[NintendoMegaDrive]

you dont need to hold all 3 buttons for an ultra all you need is the motion and the heavy kick or punch it depends on special.

[KanameTousen]

actually you do need all three buttons the left trigger buttons on the controller are mapped to all three punches and kicks but when your not doing ultra it simply shows you doing HP/K

[NintendoMegaDrive]

how comes i do ultra with just 1 button then ??

[KanameTousen]

re-read the last message

I SAID

all the punch buttons are mapped to L1/Left Bumper

and kicks are mapped to the R1/ Right Bumper

[Joel211]

street fighter 4 for xbox 360 buttons how you do a ex move dash pause then do a super or ultra move at 3 46 to 3 47

[sorrow12593]

I always wondered what Ryu and Ken say when they do the Tatsumaki Senpukyaku (Spinning Kick).

[KanameTousen]

Tatsumaki senpukyaku(Hurricane Spin Kick)

[Mohammedzire]

u spelled fighter wrong

[KanameTousen]

I was busy but I'll fix it

[KanameTousen]

there

[imthegreatest12345]

dan is better than ken hands down

[KanameTousen]

in pure damage and skills yes in range of attacks No

[imthegreatest12345]

and range doesn't beat damage or skills, AND dan is way cooler XD

[KanameTousen]

not going to comment on that last one but at the same time you need to get in range to use that skill which Dan has no attacks that allow him to get in close except for his ultra which has a very bad recovery

[imthegreatest12345]

what ever man dan's the man, i just got a little annoyed when that cow said turn froma dan into a ken. ken sucks monkey balls he's the worse character in the sf franchise

[KanameTousen]

Okay dude if you make a comment about a person you don't personally know again I'll remove your comments and block you especially against some one who's just reading a script especially a woman by calling her a cow when she's pretty damn hot. Ken is considerably weaker then all other shotos(beside Sakura) but he makes up for it by having alot of multi hit attacks especially flaming shoryuken. the weakest characer has got to be seth who relies on combos to do the damage he dose

[imthegreatest12345]

lol your pretty angry dude HAHAAA XD

[KanameTousen]

I'm not angry just annoyed

[imthegreatest12345]

"just"?

[KanameTousen]

yep just annoyed your not even worth getting angry at

[imthegreatest12345]

good one, you really offended me there

[enerumu]

omg! the girl at 0:27, so funny! I love this game, my favorite characters are: Rose, Sakura, Cammy, Dan and Gen. ^_^

[ottokbron]

ken<ryu<dan

[therancher1]

0:27 wtf!

[KanameTousen]

Chun-li's victory pose in Street Fighter 2

[therancher1]

ok lol

[IAmKingHomey]

had to favorite it cause of that single second it just looks so cuuuuuute

[msns57]

do u have to tap twice while holding the 2 focus attack buttons(MP+MK)?

[KanameTousen]

yes

[msns57]

how do u cancel?

[KanameTousen]

you can cancel a focus attack by simply tapping either left or right twice on the analog stick d-pad or joystick

[masterofthekeyblade]

how do you ex focus with gen?

[KanameTousen]

you have to figure that out yourself I don't know how to EX focus I just pull it off

[THEDONAFG]

if u got ps3 u dont click r1 when u do shoruken you use l1 or l2 for his flying kick

[KanameTousen]

.....gen! man  GEN doesn't have a SHORYUKEN

[stephmeisterm8]

at 1:46 does anyone has a link of how to do this acrobatic(the fast get up) in real life or do you know how its called?? plz help .thanks!!!

[KanameTousen]

What do you mean in real life? like how to actually do this yourself in real life? because it's hard to do that it requires that you curl you back in to a ball like position then rock

[KanameTousen]

watch?v=IaW7f6s9pQE

[MetaGearSolid]

its called a "Kip Up"

re:

stephmeisterm8

[Valegod]

how do you do it on 360

[KanameTousen]

do what?

[Valegod]

a "Kip Up" ingame

[KanameTousen]

as you hit the ground just tap down

[ToXiiCF3TUS]

i dnt like this game online unless polaying with friends. Everyone hides in the corner and shoots fireballs or does cheap sweeps into a focus attack or something. THIS IS A FIGHTING GAME SO FIGHT

[KanameTousen]

please stop getting angry it's just a game

[ViLeDeth]

I don't own a 360, I play at my friend's house and I beat the shit out of people on Rank matches (but he doesn't do well on them so so much for breaking 2k in a sitting).

You gotta to learn the 2 in 1 trick, this video won't cover some classic strats that work a lot. I can cancel your ultra with a light punch. My friends who own the game can't even accomplish this simple timed task.

You can take priority in hits if you know when to strike your opponent. Almost all of my actions take priority.

[KanameTousen]

this is basics your talking about frame counting and priorities which is advanced much advanced plus you seem to be some one who's highly skilled an ultra could always be countered by a normal hit I've canceled sakura's ultra online with a simple light kick from DAN! while i have the timing down sometimes you seem to be some one who played hardcore for a while then dropped out for a while and now plays SF4

[ViLeDeth]

Great analysis! I enjoyed the reply and anyone who reads it and wants to know should look into it. Also, I learned this through a lot of intense handicap matches at my other friend's house who was very good at Capcom vs SNK, but his older brother was basically a genius at the game.

They made me fight them only using light punch as the only option of offense. Then they had me use only Dragon Uppercuts (light).Then later I figured the rest out when I picked up Guilty Gear for the PS2. Good talk!

[KanameTousen]

So you were pretty much asked by them to train that way. and by you learning what has priorities over what you can apply it to modern games even which is a great thing but not something I personally would ever do since I'm not that hard core into fight games as you or you friends who you helped train

[justin2273]

Uhh I think the vid has the concept of kara throw wrong.

A kara throw isint throwing after a normal attack. It's canceling the normal attack into a throw.

So that the tiny bit of movement from the normal attack is cancelled into a throw. Giving your throw just a bit more range.

[KanameTousen]

they didn't explain it right but they got right right

[Dylan8645]

as if she's bagging Dan i bet a Jap dude with Dan with his Ultra, absolutely hilarious!

[KanameTousen]

win without using Goduken once!

[KaosBard]

lego
