Abel is a pain in the ass to fight. He just rolls around so you can't hit him and grabs you from a mile away and does is tornado throw or whatever it is the whole match. Computer players seem to grab you whenever they want, even if you're in the middle of doing a combo on them, or doing a kick slide.

Well I just put a fresh install of XP Pro SP3 on my gaming machine and I'm having the exact same issue as I was in Windows 7: the Mad Catz fightpad just does not work. It's identified as an XBox 360 controller and Windows installs a driver for it, but it doesn't do shit. In the game the controller is dead.
I downloaded the Mad Catz Xbox driver, same thing.
And finally downloaded the Microsoft driver recommended on Mad Catz site, it doesn't work either.
I have an Asus P5Q Deluxe mobo, so it's not the Nvidia chipset issue.
Looks like I may be sending this thing back...

is it just not working for that game or at all? do you have it set in the sf4 launcher as the controller to use?
my joystick work on ps3 and xbox360, and it activates which mode its in based on a switch. i have loaded up sf4 w/it in the wrong mode (well wrong cause i dont have the buttons config set right) and when I unplug the controller, switch it to the other mode, and plug it back in my PC, it will not work in SF4 until i reboot the game.
doubt that is your issue but thought i'd throw it out there.
Mad Catz fightpad 360 version doesn't need to be configured though sf4 launcher .
if you need to change setting, you need to change it in game.
the PS3 version, you do need to map it through sf4 launcher.
if your fightpad doesn't work, either it is broken or incompatible with the motherboard chip.....

how easy is it to find a player match on the PC compared to xbox live? I'm probably gonna buy this game on steam if there's sufficient people to play against.

What is the focus attack exactly? The game only allows 8 commands to be bound to controller...I mean I'd have to eliminate medium kick or something to bind 'Focus attack'. Not sure why they set it up like that. What button is focus attack supposed to be anyways? I have 4 buttons still free, but like I said the options only allow 8 commands to be bound when there are 9 total commands.

the 'focus attack' button mapping is simply a macro for MP + MK at the same time. just like the 'throw' or 'personal action' mappings are just LP + LK and HP + HK. then you have the mapping to have all kicks or all punches.
none of those are necessary at all in order to get good at the game or play well.
what i want to know is why do you have 4 buttons free still? most controllers/joysticks have 8 buttons, and 6 of those should be the regular attacks.

Ah thanks, wish the game would tell you some of these tings :x

It's not working at all. The launcher sees it just fine, too.
One thing that leads me to believe it's either broken or incompatible with my motherboard is that once I actually press buttons on it after the game launches, the big green "X" (from the Xbox logo button) blinks and just keeps blinking, then the controller goes dead. If I look in Device Manager after that it says "this device has malfuncitoned".
I have the day off tomorrow, so I'm going to call Madcatz tech support.

Wow just got it yesterday. Its a great game. I have it turned all the way up and running it at 1920x1080p with my gtx 280 and core i7 920. Has anyone played this on the ps3 and 360 if so how do the graphics compare?
I still use sagat, but when playing online I use as much of the cast as I can until I run into someone I clearly can't beat with anyone else.
So far online PC online isn't as great as xbox but I'm in no position to complain with my xbox being repaired at the moment. The biggest issue I have is that most of the people I play are running the game at settings higher than their computer can handle causing some matches to run at 20-30fps. I actually even had a guy apologize to me after his game crashed during ryu's ultra animation.

I want to get better at this game, a keyboard isn't cutting it for me. But on the other hand, I don't really want to drop 100+ dollars on an arcade stick for a game I might not stick with. Is there a happy "middle ground" for a controller for this game on pc? Thanks.

I dunno, just when I think I've learn to beat Seth he starts kicking my arse again. It has a lot to do with character selection. I went 6-0 on Seth, had a few good runs with 3 different characters. Then there's some characters whom with I could fight Seth 30 times on Easy and still not win. I got to Seth easy with C. Viper but she's so weak I could hit him 1000 times and he'd still have 75% stamina. I still think Abel is a bigger comp cheat. Comps will "throw" you in the middle of an ultimate combo if they want to 
- Or they'll grab you from about 5 character lengths away, or 'grab' your foot if you kick at them.
Anyhow...I can't imagine the game on hard mode, that's going to make me
I don't understand the Trial Challenges after level 2...what are you supposed to do? I always use the first couple levels to learn all of a character's moves, but then beyond level two they want you to do combos but they never register as a success. Like with Ken the command they issue calls for a Heavy Kick->Hadouken combo but I can do them as fast as possible and it never counts. Guess I have to string them together somehow? Plus there's like 10 challenge trials for each character...how can there be so many of them when they show you all the character's possible moves in the first two stages?
Dorkenstein if you already have a PS2 controller around you should use that (need to buy an adapter). It works alright...I'll never be satisfied unless playing with something really high quality like a SF4 fightstick but I'm not going to pay $150 either, so that's kind of a bummer the game needs such accuracy. It's damn near impossible to do Guile's ultimate combo on this thing.

Level 3 Trial challenges can be a little difficult... partially being that some of the combos aren't explained very well. It takes some practice, but if you hit all the buttons you need to at the right time, it'll be one fluid motion. If it helps, write down the button presses on paper that you'll need to do to accomplish the combo and practice that.
I'm playing on a 360 wireless controller, but I got a TE fightstick on it's way (125 bucks at buy.com), so it's still nigh impossible for me to do Zangief's Ultra without mashing on the dpad.

I can confirm that MadCatz sticks for PS3 work with PCs. Not on AMD chipsets, though. Apparently the drivers aren't there for AMD chipsets' USB controllers. A quick work-around for AMD users is to purchase a VIA chipset based USB PCI card. (~$10 if you look around)
