Street Fighter 4 out for PC tomorrow

[slag]

I played through on ryu, easy mode, and died a couple times (much more used to Ken's attacks and moves), and beat the game which unlocked this girl.

I then played through with her until Seth and damn, cannot beat him with her to save my life. Her attacks are too weak and he has a lot of stamina.

Ryu is also a lot weaker then Ken in this game it appears. And Vega.. wow, what a joke.

Sagat is OP but fun, and Ken is probably the best all around imho.

heh Seth is tied for the lowest stamina in the game (800pts) and also the lowest stun in the game (750pts) so it's not his stamina holding you back

sakura on the other hand is pretty weak.

 

[Dangerer]

I think he's referring to arcade mode seth which has a different stamina, stun and damage set.

also this may come as a surprise to you, but ken is actually one of the weaker characters in the game and ryu one of the strongest.

Spot on with vega being a joke though haha, you know capcom really screwed vega over when even newbies to the game can immediately spot what a crap character he is.

 

[RZaakir]

That's interesting. I destroyed Seth with C. Viper. Her medium and roundhouse kicks just lay into him when you block his little dark grey suit thing. I completely owned him with M.Bison as well. Mixed results otherwise.

last SF I played was SF 2 and it was a blast.

 

[quadomatic]

bought it yesterday, so worth the money

Runs fantastic on my system at 1600x1200 with 2xAA and v-sync enabled

XBL name is quado0119

 

[Dorkenstein]

Still getting my butt kicked here. Can anyone say what the best control layout is for a logitech dual action gamepad? That's what I'm using instead of the keyboard and I don't know enough about the game to choose a good layout. Thanks.

That bastard is way too difficult even on easy. Cheats like hell.

Or maybe I suck, but still.

I agree, alot of people who say he sucks here, but that is not entirely true well atleast in arcade(what im currently doing) i have not played all that much but i did go through arcade with Ken with best of 3, not sure if it was easy or medium, when i reached Seth he is a walk in the park in the 1st round after that he is about everything fatpat said. I tried many times to take him down but always 2 to 1 victory for seth, the last match i did before I quit out of frustration he was only a light punch away from defeat and then pulls off all these cheap ass attacks to wipe my 1/4 of vitality left.

At that time i struggled to pull off basic hadokens when i really needed it that really made the difference, only thing about street fighter games that i hate. Its odd cause when i was messing with training i did not have that problem but in arcade even before Seth i was having a hard time. I am using the fight pad style controller as well.

Try using the keyboard. Seriously, it is much easier than using a gamepad. Control is very precise with the keyboard. Seth is cake for me except for when I use Guile.

 

[Dorkenstein]

Can you recommend a good keyboard layout, spittledip?

 

[spittledip]

I use :

LP= A
MP = S
SP = D
LP+MP+SP = F

LK = Z
MK = X
SK = C
LK + MK + SK = V

Space Bar for the new special unblockable attack... whatever that is called..
Shift for Throw

As I have said before, the only moves I have trouble with on the keyboard is the 360. I can land them but I almost have to be getting up or jumping in to land them.

Oh yeah, I just use Arrow keys for direction.

Try it out for a while and I bet you wil find it is easier than a gamepad.. unless you are really used to a gamepad. I have never liked gamepads much myself.

 

[fatpat268]

I'm currently playing with the pitiful 360 controller. I never actually understood why the dpad was bad for fighting games until now. I can't even reliably do a quarter circle forward without jumping. I've been resorting to the keyboard more and more lately for characters that use the quarter circle in their attacks a lot.

One type of character I just don't understand are the charge characters. I mean, I understand them and I can do the moves, but it seems like you'd have to be pretty damn good to get some of these moves off in a match.

But hopefully my control woes will be fixed because I bought a TE Fightstick from buy.com for $125. It'll be here monday.

The game was definitely made to be played using a traditional arcade stick, but be prepared to be frustrated for at 10-20 hours of play before you adapt even marginally to the arcade stick. My advice is to stick with it and hit up training mode for 10-15 minutes anytime before playing to practice getting those motions down. Turn the volume up and look at your hands to while going through the special moves motions to verify your doing the motions correctly and your hands are in sync.

 

[aceO07]

I just ordered it. Should get it by Wednesday. Have to fit up my fightstick before then. At least fix the flaw with the washer.

How about opening a new thread? The title for this one doesn't seem that fitting.

 

[MBrown]

Is it better to play this with the KB/M or a 360 Controller?

Oh, I'm already generally frustrated

I can't win consistently on ranked matches, and I know this won't change that in the near future. But it will give me room to improve, whereas the 360 controller really wont.

 

[reallyscrued]

Damn, I was really looking forward to use my wired 360 controller for this. I don't even own a 360.

This investment seems to prove more worthless as time goes on. Playing HAWX with it was only fun for about 20 minutes.

 

[minmaster]

hey guys, how about this $17 PS3 joystick for this game?

http://www.buy.com/prod/playst...6522124/211468049.html

can't get cheap as this, but will this work ok with SF4 PC?

 

[Dorkenstein]

Heh, using whatever control method I choose except for an arcade stick, I just seem to push buttons randomly which causes me to punch and kick like a fool. I'm going to try and find a combo list.

That looks like a nifty little thing. I am not sure how it would perform but you could go ahead and be the guinea pig so the rest of us know It would be nice to get a little joystick without having to spend a ton of cash.

do the trial challenge mode, it will teach you a ton of combos, both beginner to expert.

 

[Dorkenstein]

Coool, I still suck but I feel a lot better about playing. Hard to read the command list for special moves when it uses a joystick symbol and other buttons, but I'll pick it up in time. Anyone want to spar a little?

[Dorkenstein]

Sure, my tag is theodoxgotan. I haven't really picked a fighter yet, but hopefully I will have by then.
