Oh Snooper, forgot to add, block the high kick into low crouch kick. Sounds difficult but it's not. I got a lot of damage that way. Kekeke. You can actually sumo slam me the moment after you block the jump kick, or my crouch kick even it it hits, I should in theory get sumo slammed.
Omg Gray I read your reply to MMadara 2 pages like 3 times. This was so funny. I was for a while frustrated when people starts blocking the whole round, then I started to attack and they DP me etc. But after a while, I realized, if I were in their shoes, I will do the same thing also! So after a while, I think differently. I learned how to build up an attacking rhythm in Training Room and force myself to keep attacking the CPU until their health is zero. And I keep attacking. Then I realize it IS possible to win online even if the opponent is on the defensive as long as your attacks are of a wide variety enough until the opponent, even if they are on the defensive, do not know where to block. Never repeat the same moves. Crouch kick when they are blocking high and vice versa. Slam them. FP them. In the end, he will get hit as long as you keep it up. I had try Gief, Guile, Bison, etc against CPU on grueling in training mode. It is possible.
Thx for your advice, Ablueleaf regarding the hitboxes. Basically it's hitting his head... Hmmm... Will try it on Grueling Akuma tml... Kekeke...
Forward-jump, keep direction up+toward, and hit SP. (you can hold toward, or down, or down+toward, but i find keeping direction up+toward less finnicky)
That and using a move that is so extended away from your character that you can hit him before he can grab you .
Just recorded a video while I was playing. Subscribe to the TouchArcade YouTube channel What do you guys think? I'm gonna do a compilation of my best matches later.
You must not play marvel eh? Cause the DHC glitch is abused to hell in tournament play. Not to mention infinites are normally allowed unless they're stupid easy, your fault for getting caught in the infinite. Also, if kids beat up kids at your arcades and their name isn't Noel Brown, you might wanna stop going to arcades in the hood man.
Where are you getting these pictures with the hitboxes? Is there some site with a collection for all characters? If so, what is it? Thanks.
I dont play Marvel at all nor any tournaments that just says "freely use your infinity combos and win hahaahha!" It happens time to time, just watch Blizzards WoW arena tournaments. Lol 90% of the team playing infinity CC combo. I usually agree when im paying to tournaments, if the rules are crap, i dont join in. But in all the tournaments ive entered, they tried to prevent this from happening. They play def while spamming projectils and use uppercuts if you get close. Thats why instead of whining, im going to try picking up a character that can counter this pretty easily. I get pretty close by jumping over those projectiles but man do i hate when they have learned how to time the attacks making it harder for atleast me to kick their heads in. Im going to try learn countering this. Well good luck to you sir. Show me some Balrog pwnage against those SP spammers.
Some great advice, cheers. I shall add it to my list of things to bring to the Zangief buffet. Thanks everyone who's given me anti-gief tips, in fact. You are gentlemen and scholars all! I might just try that next time I lose to a Zangief player, then... Absolutely. One day I'll get there too! You do know that the block was put into the game deliberately? It's supposed to be there - it's not a bug that some kid found. Blocking isn't 'cowarding out', it's playing the game. You're gonna have to accept it sooner or later... Because you 'kicked a lot'? So kicking's on the banned list too? (Unless it's actually kicking your friends, of course.) When can I come 'round to yours and play? Arbitrary rules and random violence - it sounds wizard... Does anyone a) over thirteen; or b) with an IQ over 85 play Street Fighter in your neck of the woods? I don't know which is worse - resorting to violence due to inadequacy at a videogame or thinking that throwing a fireball somehow isn't playing Street Fighter 'properly'. Actually, of course I do. It's the violence. Thinking there's a 'real' way to play doesn't harm anyone other than yourself. What kind of clubs are these? Or is the first rule that you're not allowed to tell me? Then you're an idiot. Scrubsville? In my world, I'd definitely lose every single time IRL 'if I picked the same character over and over and did the exact same SP spam'. But that's probably because I play with adults who can actually play the game. No you don't. You play the rules that, for whatever reason, you've invented in your head. No blocking? No characters with projectiles? No 'kicking too much'?* Which tournament is it that uses these rules?** Ah, I see what you've done there. You've confused 'fair play' with 'removing all the things I don't like from the game'. Blocking, fireballing, dashing away, and kicking lots are all perfectly fair things to do in Street Fighter. If you choose not to do them, that's up to you - but you can't complain if others do. Particularly not if you're claiming 'tournament rules'... But it was people playing defensively that was getting your game-mechanics goat before. Now it's glitches 'n' bugs. I'm (even more) confused... So you accept that online Volt isn't 'cheating' (eh?), but then class it as cheating anyway. Okay. Have you ever considered that maybe competitive games (particularly fighting games) aren't for you? Seriously, you might be much happier playing a completely different type of game... Then they should be easy to beat. I have huge trouble myself with Sagats that just fire fireballs all day, but I'm getting there. The problem I have isn't that those players aren't very skilled, it's that I'm not more skilled than they. The trick is to practice, rather than deride. Then, instead of being bothered by 'spammers', we'll beat them easily. And maybe they'll realise just throwing fireballs doesn't work, and work on some other ways of playing. And then the game as a whole benefits, and we all have more fun. Job done. ETA: That's the spirit! And when you've got it down perfectly you can give me a few tips! Have fun! *Out of genuine interest, how many kicks constitutes 'too much'? **I'd love to watch some videos...
I remember my first ever game of sf2 where I didn't have a clue about any of the moves or characters and was playing a friend who did. He just picked ehonda and did the thousand hand slap and because I didn't yet understand the game I was defenceless against it. To be honest this outraged me as I was confident beforehand I was a much better games player and I put in serious time learning the game in depth to kick his ass. Ps: I know your being sarcastic and this isn't actually aimed at you at all, I'm just pointing out that a lot of things can seem cheap until you really start understanding the game but everything is necessary for something. In this case fireballs are necessary to stop one of my friends just spamming the punch button and beating me.
Back in the days of SF2 vanilla (guile handcuffs!!), we used to think tosses were "cheap", especially given the amt of damage it did. If we accidentally tossed someone, we would grant the other player a free toss to even it up. By Champion/Hyper, they had toned down toss-damage, and it was better accepted. There were ppl who considered fireballs to be a "cheat" and a "secret move" that shouldn't be allowed. silly ppl.
The first time I played Street Fighter (the original) it wasn't until my fourth go I accidentally threw a fireball - the cabinet had no moves lists on it. I remember thinking it evened things up a bit against the CPU fighters - then I found the dragon punch... (And, of course, in those days there weren't six buttons - we had to use two pressure pads. My first exposure to SF-related cheating came later that day, when I saw a kid using a hammer to hit the pads harder... )
I played the six-button version of Street Fighter (and Fighting Street on the PC Engine). There was an SP-cheat for Fighting Street, it made the game so much easier !! And the 3 special moves would do 45% damage. It was so so awesome.
