Zangief is still extremely overpowered. I recently played a ranked match where I just chose a random player, and to my benefit Zangief came on top. I beat a Guile at a higher level than me just by simply being cheap with the few moves I was able to pull off. The player got really pisssed and logged off because I was punishing him for air attacks and then taunting afterwards, A'nold style like this:

He wasn't overpowered the last game and he certainly isn't now

there is no cheapness
 
Wow, what happened to this thread? Haven't had anyone posting in here for weeks.

Anyway, Daigo is the EVO 2010 SSFIV champion. Here's his match in the Final vs Ricky's Rufus:

 
I just picked up SSF4 (because I KNEW one would come out sooner or later) and boy am I rusty. I also need an arcade stick, but I really can't justify plunking 150 dollars on one. :(

I wish I could find a good substitute that would suit me just fine around the 50-60 dollar mark.
 
I started playing again earlier and lost like over half of my points in a mere hour. :dry:
 
Once I'm finished with Dragon Age, I'll be down for more SSFIV
 
i've been playing sporadically.

i keep losing points when i start out, and then getting it back by the end of a session.

hovering around 7500 pp and 2600 bp.
 
Just started playing Super IV online a few days ago. 360 tag's Papachu2, if anyone wants to fight a decent Fei Long.

Have you tried buying a Hori EX2? I've seen it selling online for as low as $50 USD. If you have a PS3, another good option would be the Round 2 TE stick.

when are you online? i'd face you right now. I could use some fei experience....and if you want to see a BADASS fei, add my buddy SniperBlades
 
Man, I'm taking quite the sonning right now. :(

Knew what crouch teching was before, but will definitely work on it more now. And blocking properly. And more matchup data.

the thing is, fei is a pretty difficult char to learn. he has some glaring weaknesses and you have to keep the opponent on their toes. A predictable or timid fei is a dead one lol
 
Thanks for the matches and the advice. Pointed out to me a lot of my bad habits.

Out of curiosity- seems you knew a lot of the combos and links for most of the cast. Did you pick that up through offline versus, or on SRK?
 
I got the combos from SRK, and practiced the hell out of them in training. I also have had helpful tips at a couple of tourneys and playing knowledgeable players. its all about the experience and just challenging everyone you can
 
I had THE absolute most satisfying win last night in any game iv ever played online.

So i decided to jump into some ranked matches just to kind of have some fun. Its been a while since iv played so i was a bit rusty and not really caring how i fared. Well as expected i was getting my ass handed to me, but it was cool, i just wanted to get back into the game. Finally i started to get my bearings again and started winning some matches, but still i didnt care rather i won or lost....until i came across this prick.

So im playing as Vega, he's using Dudley. I have my mic connected but i wasnt talking unless someone else stated something, well i can tell his mic is on as well, but he wasnt saying anything either. So we are playing the first match and its fairly close, he ends up connecting with some special move and beats me, then for the first time proceeds to talk. He says "Thats right b**ch...f***ing owned!" Even tho the match was fairly close. Well that flipped a switch, now i wanted to win, still didnt say anything, just proceeded to kick his ass, in what he kept calling "A b***h fashion". He kept saying how i didnt know how to use Vega, and kept pulling off the same moves, which he was right, he kept trying to jump into all of his attacks so i would just meet him with an Air Throw and then go into an izuna drop or other special moves. Any way the next 2 matches were over fairly easily and i ended the last match with a missed bloody highclaw which he assured me was a fatal mistake, but again he tried to jump into an attack and i met him half way throwing him back to the ground.

I loved every second of it.
 
nice work pat, the air throw is so utterly satisfying, I love using it w/ guile
 
Haha yea, the whole 'owned' thing caught me off guard. I was like, ok, dude wants to be a dick, thats fine, haha. I mean he wasnt lying when he said i kept using the same move, i mean i was. I figured, hey if you arent good enough to stop the same scripted attack then why should i change up my move set? I mean dude literally jumped into my air throw 3 or 4 times in a row and told me i didnt know how to use Vega and to change up my attacks, haha, wtf is that?
 
I may hop on if you wanna play. I wanna, but I don't wanna sit on there and play against some cheeseball jerkwad who just uses lowkicks to win. XBL = DrakonFyre, if you're interested,
