[Multiplatform] Street Fighter 4 - For some reason they're still putting in characters other than Ken

I'm most interested as well for the new characters and hopefully not just a graphical level up for existing recent characters, or at worst an amalgamation of past characters, gameplay systems and such with new rendering. With this I mean, how will the following progressions turn out:

Dhalsim -> Necro -> ???
Zangief -> Alex -> ???
Balrog -> Dudley -> ???
Guile -> Remy -> Remy :3

etc. Hopefully this new generation is lots of fun to work with as well

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I'm going to guess from these complaints that the AI tends to become "psychic AI" the further you progress. It's not too bad if you're used to all the SNK fighters pulling cheap shit like that at every final boss regardless of the difficulty level. Heck it was even in MvC2 when the computer feels you are winning too much and is down to its last character.

So far I'm enjoying the new characters although overall they seem rather plain to me. El Fuerte and Abel seem very fun to play for all the mixup options, although I don't think my brain could handle actively knowing what I want to mix up in what each time on a regular basis.

Hit me up on the PS3 version whoever has it!

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Not saying it's any easier, but I tend to be able to hit him more with lots of aerial attacks. I learned that the hard way when he started spamming teleporting piledrivers while I was trying charge moves with Chunny and Bison. As well, jumping attacks usually made his psychic lightning kick move whiff as well as bypassing sonic booms. The only trouble with this is that his shoryuken hits a lot of times for a chunk of damage and you are also vulnerable to being proximal shot out of his belly mid-match onwards.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

These trial mode challenges are giving me carpal tunnel still.
I don't understand the timing for Chunny's [Heavy Hazanshu > Senretsu Kyaku], and stuff like Crimson Viper's [Focus Attack > c.HP > Thunder Knuckle cancel > Burst Time] and Gen's [MP(Mantis) > c.LK(Crane) > EX Focus Attack > Ryukoha] require crazy reflexes and patience that I don't have. Not to mention the impracticality of some of these combos which I'd never use in the heat of a real battle.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

The first round wasn't all that exciting, but I forgot that a good Dhalsim will be poking away at long range most of the time and waiting for the opponent to slip up. Also the teleport cross-ups are great for really messing up the enemy, although I thought there would be more Yoga Mummy/Yoga Spear usage for some reason. Too bad you can only teleport once in the air, it'd be fun if you could do it over and over again.

I was speaking idiomatically.

That's a rather sexy trick which I never have to utilize too much. Most people can't even deal with the fact that she has huge range on her d+HK, or how her d+FP hits twice if they're smart enough to start using focus attacks somehow.

Speaking of which, Rose also has huge range on a couple of her normals, although I never have as much success punishing people with them as much as with Chunny.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Oh and I just learned about the EX canceling and was able to pull it off on some kids online finally got a few perfect matches off =p That actually felt rewarding

Yeah sure. I like using Chunny and lesser used characters, so you won't have to worry about boring shoto spam too much. I just need to unlock Gouken, then I'm done with Arcade mode and focusing on all the hard trials afterwards.

How ya doing, buddy?
