"What just happened?" A Street Fighter IV combo video

Explanations: http://www.capcom-unity.com/doopliss/blog/2009/12/26/new_combo_video:_what_ju...

Songs used: Storm Eagles theme (with self-extended intro) and Spark Mandrills theme, both from Mega Man X.

I've been working on a Vanilla Street Fighter IV Trial Guide, which can be downloaded from the link found under "website" on my user page. It covers more than only the trials, it also has in-depth descriptions on various executional things in general. Here's a sample:

"How to buffer simple stuff:

Knowing how to buffer is extremely important, and you probably won't be able to clear even all the normal trials without knowing how to do it. The rule of thumb is: DP moves are easier to cancel from a standing move, and QCF moves are easier to cancel from a crouching move.

Buffering Charge moves: When buffering charge moves, make sure that you are charging before you have to do the move, so that you have enough charge when you have to activate it. Always charge Down-Backwards if possible. If you're doing horizontal Charge Moves, you can charge in the directions "UB~DB". If you're doing vertical Charge Moves, you can charge in the directions "DB~DF". If you're using both horizontal and vertical Charge Moves, or a Charge Move that requires you to charge DB, Like Guile's Super and Vega's Scarlet Terror, charge "DB".

Cancelling a standing move into a QCF move: There's not really an easy way to do this, just be fast. s.HP xx Hadoken with Ryu: "s.HP, D, DF, F+HP". It IS possible however, if you're going to cancel a standing kick into a QCF+P move when you have no QCF+K move or vice-versa, to press "D, DF, F+K, P". Of course, this is also true for DP and HCF moves.

Cancelling a standing move into a DP move: The easiest way to do this is, if you do Ken's s.HP xx HP Shoryuken: "F+HP, D, DF+HP", or, as this combo uses the same button for the normal move and the special move: "F+HP, D, DF+NE HP". There's a problem with this though, and that is...

Cancelling a standing move into a DP move, when you have a forward command move on the used button: What would happen if you tried the above combo with Ryu? He would do Solar Plexus Strike, his f.HP command move, instead of s.HP. So what do you do? Sadly, there's not much you can do, other than be quick. I recommend "s.HP, F, D, DF+HP" or "s.HP, F, DF, F+HP"

Cancelling a crouching move into a QCF move: Shouldn't be a problem, just do, if you're doing c.MK xx Hadoken with Ryu: "D+MK, DF, F+HP"

Cancelling a crouching move into a HCF move: This is only done once if I recall correctly, in Rose's H Trial 5. There, you have to do c.MK xx EX Soul spark. Here's how to do it: "DB+MK, D, DF, F+PP"

Cancelling a crouching move into a DP move: This is rather important, because a lot of people have a problem with this. All examples will be Ryu trying to do c.HP xx HP SRK. Here's what people usually do:

SUPER COMES OUT INSTEAD OF DP: You probably tried to do: "c.HP, F, D, DF+HP" and ended up with "c.HP, DF, F, D, DF, F+HP". If you want to do it this way, make sure that you do not press forward the last thing you do.

HADOKEN COMES OUT INSTEAD OF DP: You want to do "c.HP, F, D, DF+HP", but you do "c.HP, DF, F+NE HP, D, DF+HP", so that the Negative Edge when releasing HP triggers an Hadoken before you can do your DP.

My recommendations: There are two good ways to cancel a crouching move into a DP move:

"F, D+HP, DF+HP": Here you press forward, then you press down+HP, triggering the c.HP, and then quickly DF+HP again. If you use this one, you're starting to buffer the DP move before you do the crouching move, which makes it easier to do slowly.

"F, D+HP, DF+NE HP": This is the same as above, but having Negative Edge trigger the DP. Obviously only works if you're trying to cancel the crouching move into a DP move using the same attack button.

"DF+HP, D, DF+HP" or "c.HP, mash D, DF, D, DF, then HP": Here you use the DF, D, DF shortcut to buffer the DP. The first one is controlled, and very effective, the second one is useful if you have to cancel into the DP after a long combo. Just be careful so you never press F, because then super will come out. It doesn't matter if you're holding D or DF when you press HP during the mash, input leniency makes it work anyway. You can do a Negative Edge version of this as well."

@LinkSSBB0 Disagree on both points.

[Sauson995]

Megaman x is the best Megaman game. There is no argument.

@kaboom6899

MK = Flash

SF = Substance

Doesn't mean flash can't be fun though! I really liked MKII alot back in the day! (That and I heard, but don't personally know MK9 (I think it was 9) actually is very good.)

But SF does have deeper gameplay and far more variable fighting styles. (And I think SFIII might well be my favourite fighting game.)

SF has to many shoto's and MK to many ninja's though.

[kaboom6899]

I Prefer Street Fighter, But MK is good too. In the older versions of both games i found Street Fighters moves to be more smooth. But MK has the blood and gore and finishers which are awesome!!!

@Sunrise1nfinity SF has been out since the 80's bro :o

[BeBoBli]

@Sunrise1nfinity You are so misinformed on all counts and your analogy is shitty.

[DrGnockerz]

@Sunrise1nfinity Dude, SF has been around much longer, their first game was released in 1987, Mortal Kombat 1 was released in 1993.

[RebGenesis]

@nichirenx BlazBlue ain't that bad either.

[Sunrise1nfinity]

Mortal Kombat compared to Street Fighter would be like PC to MAC. MK would be PC it has been out longer and has released more games. MKI-III were great as well as MK9. Having a block button differentiates if a player is blocking or attacking, unlike SF you which you can do both @Krista7714

@MegaBondagemon

It works, I tried by myself =D

Arguments about my game is better than your game. They are all different engines with different game physics. No matter what fighter you play if you are badass enough to beat people in online and offline tourneys, you have skill. Some games do have horrible controls and bad play dynamics but SF, TEKKEN, MK, GG, VF, MvC, or any of those fit the bill. This fan flamewar crap is silly.
