Manwell Pablo Posted 16 March 2009 Share Posted 16 March 2009 Played this whilst intoxicated last night - suffice to say, my results were a whole lot different to Mablo's. lol I was about to say my pissed exploits have been outdone as I've managed 10 in a row (well happy with that) sober, but I just remembred I'd been at the pub all night when I did that as well. Am I actually the only one who's any good at this then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC Prussian Posted 16 March 2009 Author Share Posted 16 March 2009 I usually pick Sagat, Akuma or either Ken/Ryu. All other characters are very hard to deal with and deal too little damage, especially that joke of El Fuerte. Or Chun-Li. Still have to unlock Gouken (automatically followed by Seth), but it's going to be hard - even on Easiest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manwell Pablo Posted 17 March 2009 Share Posted 17 March 2009 That dubious title goes to Zangief. Maybe readable but if he catches you properly then you know your pants are coming down. Sagat on the other hand isn't capable of as much damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legend_in_blue Posted 17 March 2009 Share Posted 17 March 2009 After trying this out online for the first time, they ought to rename it under the arcade mode as 'impossible'. There are some mighty good players on there who clearly put the hours in. I am not one of them. Still, 3 wins out of around 30 isn't too bad. You know you're in for it when the opposition comes out with Gouken. I haven't even unlocked him yet... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The standard on it is just something else, it really is. I went online and had about 15 fights, lost EVERY one of them. Its just discouraging when players are picking fighters you've never even heard of, let alone unlocked.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will agree with you both if your both relativly new to the series you'd probably find it a bit difficult and I'd stick to the player matches to start off with. I had a terrible start on it, won about 8 in 20. I've played over 200 games now though and my win percentage is above 70% most of them ranked games (1300 BP) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your playing one round hardly suprising seeing as you need time to build your super bar thing up. Theres a full list of what you have to do online, think you have to get aload of first attacks in as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legend_in_blue Posted 19 March 2009 Share Posted 19 March 2009 Ultra combos are easy easy easy easy with one of the characters. I can do it over and over and over and over again!!! I ain't saying who though... Practice makes perfect is all I can say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legend_in_blue Posted 19 March 2009 Share Posted 19 March 2009 So, confident of pulling this ultra combo off everytime I head online to give it a whirl. Every frigging time I pull off the move, it gets dodged. I've not hit it once. People are too good at this game - I'm not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've not hit it once. People are too good at this game - I'm not. The whole game is about timing, if your just trying to hit people with Ultra combos the minute you get one and they get a chance to dodge they're going to. You want to time it so there in a situation where they can't dodge, i.e they've just pulled of a move that's left them open for a few seconds or time it as it catches them just as they land after jumping, best way is to stick at the end of a combo (Ryu, jump punch, uppercut, dragon punch, ultra combo) but thats getting a bit complicated. Against even average players you have to pick your moments, combos/special moves are all good and probably make the difference between a good player and expert player but you want to concentrate on the above to start with. you'll win a few games by being patient. Knowing what your the guy you playing is going to do before he does makes this a whole lot easier but that only comes with games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat Burger Posted 21 March 2009 Share Posted 21 March 2009 Glad I bought this now, nearly didn't because of Alexei's paddy about the controls. I don't think the Xbox controllers are that bad for it, perhaps because I used to live on Capcom vs Snk on the Dreamcast. I happened to pull off my first ultra combo the first time I ever tried with Ryu, but it's clearly tricky to pull off everytime you want to. I'm really impressed so far with all aspects and concur with the IGN score, although I wish there were unique stages and tracks for each character, like in SF2.

MC Prussian Posted 21 March 2009 Author Share Posted 21 March 2009 The point is - no matter what move, only a few characters make it easy for you to pull them off. Although I have to admit I'm a casual gamer and certainly no hardcore type - I guess with the right amount of practise you could even do the ones for El Fuerte or Rufus... Ryu, Ken, Dan, Sagat, Akuma (and Gouken?) are the best choices for beginners because the moves come rather naturally (you know, the clockwise and counter-clockwise stuff).

Its rewards you for the hours you put in - it's an excellent game. I really really like it now. Although its difficult, it just keeps me coming back for more. I only need to unlock Akuma, Gouken and Seth now. Easy. Won a few online last nigth aswel. Got my Battle points up to 35, then lost them a load and went back down to 225. Its a brilliant game.

For some reason, it's the only game of its type for me that doesn't grow old with time. It's as much of a blast now as it was way back in the day. Only better. It requires hours of practice. Anybody managed to get past survival round 5 on normal difficulty? Now that is solid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
