http://shoryuken.com/media.php?do=details&mid=2439Arturo's Seth is just sick. The Abel player starts doing really well about halfway through the video though, when he switches to Ultra II.
― Nhex, Thursday, 3 June 2010 00:56 (thirteen years ago) link
seth has the distinction of being the most annoying character in a game FULL of annoying characters
― cozen, Thursday, 3 June 2010 07:43 (thirteen years ago) link
I was getting wound up just watching those matches lol
Seth's number of mixups is insane, but am i wrong here - it looks like his damage and stamina are even worse in Super?! Maybe it just looked that way because he was fighting Abel.
― Nhex, Thursday, 3 June 2010 07:46 (thirteen years ago) link
abel's ultra 2 is some ridiculous bullshit
ok let's give abel an ultra that's hard to avoid unless you have a floaty jump, can be used anti-air, can be cancelled at any time, can be held/delayed, gives him some super armour, and does a shit-ton of damage loooooll
― cozen, Thursday, 3 June 2010 07:52 (thirteen years ago) link
struggling to think of a more annoying normal than seth's jumping fierce. maybe bison's standing roundhouse?
― cozen, Thursday, 3 June 2010 07:57 (thirteen years ago) link
I will say the abel player did really well to hold it down; especially after the first two matches were pretty much an relentless whitewash

tokido is ridiculous
anyway like an idiot I re-picked this up today for cheap; it just has some very fundamental problems which stop it being a fun fighting game. it is random and dull at low levels and dry and dull at intermediate levels.. tho it is pretty entertaining to watch at extremely high levels

is your opponent close? don't worry! no need for skill! just mash jab!
opponent doing combos? who cares! why bother train! just mash ultra!

Things I learned from going back to SFIV PC this weekend: 1) the competition seems to have thinned out to hardcore fanatics, for the most part - I was losing pretty awfully 2) more than many multiplayer games, it feels really hard to get back in the groove with this game - needed to play for a long time (too long, damn these manos of fate) to get back to my normal skill level 3) I'm still constantly amazed and baffled how people can pull off actual combos online

I think I'm final starting to get into Super, played some online games last night and had a pretty good time & also good, green bar connections & not so much trouble finding games thru quick match (it probably worked right 50% of the time!).
Via replay channel is there any way to see your friend's match replays - as frankly, watching random strangers replays isn't very entertaining, but it would be cool to browse thru friend's last 15 games or something like that.
One weird thing is since I'm playing on a Japanese 360 - it shows my region flag as Japan & I swear that's giving me an advantage online as people get intimidated when they see that Japanese flag - or at least it seems like that to me - or maybe just the randoms I played last night weren't very good.
Anyhow, definitely feeling & thinking I'm going to start playing this more now.

The online set-up for this game has really improved with Super - I seem to be getting into games fifty percent of the times I try instead of ten percent. There also seems to be more green bar matches - kind of surprised actually, since I know it sold less. It does seem like there are less completes crubs around, but also less really skilled players - of the games I've played lately I'd say it seems like I'm mostly finding people around my own average skill (and I've won 53% of my games so far, so that feeling makes sense).

nhex (you're most likely to know I reckon), is it possible to get a convertor to allow use of PS2 sticks on 360 and/or PS3
― flamelurker (cozen), Friday, 11 June 2010 13:28 (thirteen years ago) link
yep - check out this thread http://shoryuken.com/showthread.php?t=181187
for PS2/360 they all require that you have a wired standard controller to bypass the lockout, and there are plenty of converters for PS2/PS3. Luckily it doesn't seem to cost a ton for these - i know some of the 360/PS3 converters are like $80, almost defeating the pt of getting one
what stick are you using? i'm tempted to go your route in some nebulous future for the easiest crossplatform solution

Good games nhex - like I said, I'm way rusty right now, but will definitely be trying to play more and get back into the flow. Shame about the lag. I swear I've played cozen 5,000 miles away with less lag! I don't know why we can't seem to get a decent connection going @ half that :(
― Jeff LeVine, Saturday, 3 July 2010 04:31 (thirteen years ago) link
GGs to you too! I'm grateful you're even willing to step down to Vanilla at this point. I could tell you were rusty, but there were a lot of obvious moments when you should've been able to properly combo or hit Ultra, if not for the lag.
I'll admit, the lag problems are very possibly on my computer's end - some combination of the fact that it's an iMac, running a two-generations-old video card on wireless internet. For every other online game there's no problem, but SF is incredibly finicky about this stuff.
xps uh what IS that animated .gif?

There's something kind of pure about going back to vanilla SFIV. Super is almost like too much... I still have so much to learn (still learning SFII tbh)

yeah - disappointing stream drops - especially that last one :( but honestly, the earlier matches were more exciting - the last batch just seemed like padding out the show until the inevitable Daigo victory.
