PSN shat out pretty bad earlier today for whatever reason, which irritated me since I was planning on grinding out rank in Killzone 2 for the evening : /

While we're on the subject of trials, how the fuck do you do Bison's 4th Hard Trial? I'm at a complete loss as to how you're supposed to chain the Crouching MP and MK together since the punch pushes you out of range.

Do it against the corner? That's what I did at least.

[Faxanadu]

Totally coincidental imo. Between my roommate and myself, we've unlocked all of the Trial icons except Seth, Akuma, and Gouken (we haven't bothered unlocking them yet). When either of us plays online, we almost always have one of the box-face icons set. I'd say my personal ratio of matches is about 20:1 in favor of people without a Trial icon.

Ya i think your right, just palyed for a couple of hours yesterday and only ran into a hand of Icon users. Just wishful thinking on my part i guess.

I did have 3 little bitches DC seconds before losing matches yesterday, probably the most infuriating aspect of the game for me right now.

Just double tap the kick button like you were doing a drum roll and you'll hit it eventually, That move is fucking trash to pull off without an arcade stick though.

[Weltall]

A lot of those trial sets you have to piano. Most of those combos aren't even viable in real play.

burner making me have to concentrate! you progress so fast

Man...I don't even know. I was throwing everything I had at you lol.

[Ragnus]

I got my first win the other night but I still have my butt handed to me by people in the 800-1200 BP range. Some matches I feel like I can't do anything. Other than that I just unlocked Akuma and I'm going to work on Gouken pretty soon.

I fucking hate Cammy now! My friend mains her just to piss me off and she still throws me off my game. MUGEN seems to have made me soft

play defensiv against blanka players, and watch out for his low hard kick. Never jump in! Fuckign hate this stupid electro shocks. just use low light kick or so. once you tricked them close into a corner murder them and never let them go away ¬.¬, oh yeah work with fireballs. Thats at least my techinque on him when I am on chun-li. Too much anti-air shit to even bother jumping at him.

I approach blankas allways with a Lightpunch Kikoken while walking behind it. This is a nice combo to get safely close to him without getting hurt too much.

Still I have problems dealing with Blankas... fuckign too fast.

I have great problems dealing with:
Boxer, Blanka, Cammy, Akuma. Theese give me a hard time on Chun. And Chun-Li herself, I love theese fights, but its total poke fest, who pokes best and turns it into a combo lol.

[Viq]

Chun's light fire ball is good against Blanka, but walking behind it isn't the best option. If you stay put after you throw it, and Blanka does an EX ball to get through it, he'll bounce right into the fireball whether you block him or not. Also, if you walk in behind the fire ball then you open yourself to Blanka's slide, and an EX rainbow ball. I've found that Chun gives my Blanka the most trouble when she stays away. When Chun has meter for EX Bird Kick, it's nearly impossible for Blanka to get in safely on her from further away than hop distance. It makes the game slow and boring for both sides, but that's the name of the game for SF4.

[Retrieving/C.D/Searain]

got literally schooled by Rich's Cammy and Fei Long yesterday (I'm a shoto scrub and I've just started using my brand-new and home-made custom arcade stick, haven't quite gotten accustomed to the feeling yet) however that was the most fun I've had in a beat'em up since like..."91, lol.

[Sol-Blackguy]

Still haven't gone against any Blanka players yet. Sounds fun, but challenging at the same time. Only people that give me problems are Chun-li, Sagat, Cammy, and the occasional skilled Ryu/Ken.

[Krandor]

A good Blanka is the absolute worst : /

[Stiker]

Was able to play a bit yesterday and finally got my first wins. They were mostly against some really, really awful players, but hey at least I don't have 0 BP anymore. Plus it felt good to absolutely dominate someone for once or have ridiculous comebacks.

Had an epic win over a fireball spamming Akuma. Took me a while to figure out how to get around the jumping fireball crap, but I just took my time, built up my meters and would unleash Ultras in his face through fireballs or do some fun air juggling combos on him.

Couple questions though: Can you actually block/defend Akuma's Ultra? It seems automatic to me, so I'm sure I'm missing something. Also, how in the blue hell to you pull off those cancel moves in the trails? I tried running through Sakura's trail and I have to do a MP and cancel into a Haduoken or something. Can't figure out wtf to do for the life of me!

[Viq]

Jump over Akuma's Super/Ultra. It's possible for him to link into one of them (not sure which), but extremely difficult. Chances are, you won't run into anyone reliably doing that online, so just hold up when you see the animation start.

[richardd]

yeah blanka is such a bitch with a projectile guy lol. i main sagat, but use ryu most of the time, so sometimes sagats speed can catch me off guard. But blanka isnt too bad with cammy. I noticed when 2 skilled players are going at eachother, they dont use the most obvious tricks the shotos use. So in order to beat another skilled player, you have to dumb yourself down and be unpredictable. Thats how i do it at least.

This blanka took every old trick in the book. (the JP guy gave me a rematch) but i also had to win it with Cammy.

you are alot better than you give yourself credit for! lol
