IMO the problem is that you can't really pick up a game, change controls to make them easier and expect it to keep the same balance. SP and AB themselves aren't the problem, iOS players are mostly casual after all so SP is a huge help (although I seriously hate AB and how it kills cross ups), the problem is that the game needs to be balanced around that. Characters like Zangief need perfect execution, yet in this game he can walk and Ultra without any problems, and punish -1 moves and such without the need to foresee them. And then characters like Yun (although I don't think he has the shoulder cross ups here) are all about cross ups, yet AB kills all that. Being able to mash Ultra at any given moment is also another problem of the game if we compare the risks for doing that against the reward. It's basically like a mashed SRK in other 2D fighting games, being completely punishable on block (and still only in some cases), just WAY more powerful. Then, if we add FADC to the easily mashed SRK we have lots of matches where people mash a SRK without problems when they have two stocks if they are under pressure or waking up. I always thought of SRK in most 2D games as a panic option at wake up or to break through false blockstrings, always with a given high risk, yet being able to mash it at any time and FADC it to not only make it safe but also to start pressure completely kills the high risk/high reward behind the SRK. I'm okay with all that in AE since you need to read the other player in order to go through its pressure, since it isn't like anybody can go QCF, QCF + P after every blocked attack. Then of course lag is also a problem, just like in any other game, but believe me, that kind of lag is WAY better than the kind of problems that surround SFxT console version's online.
I agree completely. Volt brings back the simplicity in fighting games and makes it popular. I bet you take away the SP assist, you get 1/10 the population playing. I'd rather play somebody than the computer even if they play lame, spammy, or other. It would be absolutely idiotic for Capcom to remove SP assist...probably the only thing saving Volt from being like any of the other gazillion fighting games on iOS.
Which one of you is birthday ice cream? Ggs and you are insanely patient. In a good way. I mean that as a compliment.
That was me, I really don't like to be an insane Cammy player. GGs, I thought your Abel was really good.
It's been a while since we played but I was super impressed, pops. Sicko combos and you went for some super hard stuff. I saw you go for CH st mp, ultra with Makoto, which should have worked but I backdashed in the corner which was probably really surprising to you, as it is completely stupid to do.
is Ultra street fighter 4 out yet? I'm just really curious about the secret character... hope she's gonna be a girl coz we have enough lads in the cast don't ask me why I'm on the forum during my military service I'm not meant to be posting stuff or even online. Being able to speak English got me a lucky duty to be around a computer I guess, if caught, I'll have to ''work out'' an entire afternoon lol...
Not for another few more months. But there are various location tests in US/Paris/Japan which show 4 of the new characters. Also, there was an update for Vanilla SF4 today (lol). It was to fix the 'card' issue that apparently was in the the last version of Volt too
Most people in EH were saying that she will probably be one of the dolls. That would be a HUGE disappointment, but then Capcom also said that the character didn't appear in any fighting game. I wonder what they meant with that, if it's only as playable or in general, because the dolls already appeared in some cutscenes in some games and then as the special intro of Juli and Juni in a SFA game.
Its confirmed female character from the comics (one that can actually fight). And she has never been in a fighting game before. The list is small.
To be fair, "Never been in a fighting game" and "Fighting game debut" have small differences, so we're not even sure if the character has been in a fighting game but not in a fighting role. Also, I would not be disappointed if it was a doll. Juni/Juli have the closest style to cammy and the other 10 have different weapons, so she wouldn't just be a cammy clone.
After reading the UDON sf comics (no point in reading non UDON comics they are basicly what represent SF), (Wont post the page here, google it) i came up with a list of fighting female characters that are in the comics. --Rose's Master (only known as Master) --Hinata (Sakura's friend that actually fights in the comics) --Natsu (Volleyball Player that actually fights in the comics and Sakura's Friend) --Kei (Sakura's Friend, She punches a dude) --Luwanda (Delta Red Member Cammy's Unit) --The Dolls: Xiayu, Yanyu, Satsuki, Fevrier, Santum, Decapre, Marz, Enero, Noembelu, Santum --????? Snake Style and Tiger Claw Style Female Fighters (SF II Turbo comics they fight vs chun-li) --Sarai (Ibuki's Friend she doesn't fight in the comics but she is part of Ibuki's clan so she's a fighter) --Po-Lin (Chun-li's Partner) Rumors strongly suggest its either Rose's Master (someone said they had a contest to name her in capcom cause she had no name and rose's master has no name and even in the comics she appears as ???) or Santum (like Maximilian thinks about the leaked usf4 poster) the black skinned doll that has afro style hair. It will not be Juli or Juni (they already appear on SF alpha 3) Based on these comics Street Fighter (including the summer special) Street Fighter II Street Fighter II Turbo Street Fighter Legends: Chun-Li, Ibuki, Sakura Street Fighter Deep Scars Still haven't read Street Fighter III Ryu's Final Super Street Fighter New Generations Street Fighter Origins: Akuma Street Fighter IV Street Fighter Classic
^ It isn't by UDON, but read Ryu Final! It's the best by far! But there isn't any new female fighter in that one though. Anyway, I don't care that much about the 5th char. The day the said it wouldn't be Asura killed me. Damn, he's the most badass character in videogames, he deserves to be in a fighting game. I hope they will make a Capcom-only vs game and put him there. Looking forward to Rolento.

Anyone down to run a few sets? I'm hyper salty after fighting a lag exploiting Ken for 9 rounds. :\ Edit: Harq holy crap edit2: Hey guys what ruins the game more one touch ultra or one touch super?
I'm gonna do another CMV for SFxT. If someone here has any cool combo in that game that want to see in the CMV, post the notation here or record it with Display Recorder and upload the file to a file sharing site.
One touch Ultra by far. It's easier to get an Ultra ready in a match than a Super. Way easier. And then they deal more damage, or have more invencibility frame or something like that.
I just recently found a reset setup with viper that can finish off 17 members of the rooster. Best thing it only needs 1 bar and totals in 1k damage. Doesnt need ultra.
