I for one think it's hilarious when someone ragequits especially if they are using akuma & get owned! I think everyone is taking this game a little to seriously. When it stops being fun & starts becoming stressful, its time to play something else. That's why it's best to play with friends otherwise in a game like this ur just setting yourself up for disappointment. I used to love playing Marvel vs Capcom via Kaillera On mame and never once did I ever have anyone rage quit on me. The biggest problem there was lag which was just something you had to accept just like the rage quitters here. My biggest complaint is I can't seem to find away to turn off the "low battery 20%" pop up that kicks me out of the game everytime after roughly an hour of straight play. If anyone knows how to turn that off without having to jailbreak I would be much appreciative of that. You would think in that case it would just pause the game instead of ending it. Maybe they can at least address that in a future update. Best regards P.L.
Seems there are a lot of experts in the forum... VEGA... I barely know his combos apart from those in the challenges... BTW anyone with tips on how to do the Bison's Last Challenge? I can connect the latter part (crouch punch > Scissors Kick > SC) without any problems, but getting the crouch punch to hit is a problem after the flying punchy thing... doesn't seem to come out fast enough.
I love playing on Grueling against all characters EXCEPT Bison. 1) He teleports and kicks you before you realise it (with a maniac laughter) 2) He teleports and crouch kick + combo you before your realise it 3) If you jump, and he has SC / ultra meter full, you're gonna get it 4) he kicks, you block, you kick, he blocks, and then he kicks you again for a reversal which you can't block in time 5) you crouch kick and cancel into a fireball. He blocks your kick and SC you... 6) Fireballs avoids him. He jumps/teleports without error and you cannot retaliate. And the list goes on... I only find that the only move you can safely attack him most of the time (and you still need to be damn fast to attack him) is his sliding kick...
Basically, you are handicapped, so best is to avoid getting into his combos. Learn to see his pattern, that's all I did. It took me forever to pwn him, 99:59:99
With Vega Grueling Akuma is easy. The key is using his Ultra, as Vega's will go under his Hado's and Go Hado's (NOT his in air fireball, as Boss Akuma fires TWO , so it'll hit you. But against normal Akuma you can do it when he jumps and hado's just fine). But his Wall dive is key. If you do it too early, you'll get SRK'd into pulp. Wait until he goes to throw a Hado, then Wall Dive + Izuna Drop him into dust. Grueling Bison is a nightmare. He'll Teleport RIGHT when your wall dive is close, then slide kick you for massive damage. Every damn time. He's a real pain in the behind. He'll also ALWAYS get his Scissor Kick in when you botch a combo. cr. Lp x 2, cr. mp, ex Knee into Izuna Drop is RISKY because if you time it just one frame too slow you'll get countered for massive damage. Really there's no good strategies. Sometimes they'll just auto-counter you and that's that. No matter how good you are, sometimes they just "magically read" your moves and counter them. Hard for me is Fun, Grueling is ... Well, grueling.
Thanks for the advice on Vega! Will give him more attention and improve on him. Grueling Bison is a nightmare (see my earlier post)... Hahaha... Basically I play Hard more than Grueling becoz of this reason, but nowadays Hard is a bit too easy esp with players you're familiar with... So going to try playing with all the rest of the crew... Shall start from Training Room, dun think I can pull off all of Vega's combos as stated.... I must train harder - Ryu.... *Remark - Not playing online anymore, waste of time with all the strangers RQ-ing... but hei, it's the reason why Game Centre exists! Add me! kekeke...*
I really hate those dudes who use a blast attack and then trap you in a corner. I can't get out. There seems like there are no openings. Also the 20 percent left notification disconnects matches.
There are... Apart from Sagat who's fireball are "faster", the rests can be easily jumped over. Ryu/Akuma's can be tricky when at 3/4 screen to 1/2 screen length. So if you found you're in that position, you can try either focus attack (get hit by fireball is OK, damage isn't too high) or just jump... Assuming you can't jump in time, use your longest range punch/kick to trade... You'll get more damage...
For Vega's combos.. the Cosmic Heel into EX Scarlett Terror is USELESS, just do CH > normal Scarlett Terror. Save the meter for EX Izuna Drop. Don't forget that if you HOLD the SP button when doing the motion for a Wall dive you do the Barcelona Attack, wherein he just holds out his claw and flies across the screen. If you do the EX Barcelona attack, it GOES THROUGH all protectiles. It's essential for dealing with fireball spammers. It also goes through many, many moves. If you mix it into your wall dive mix-up game, you can really screw with an opponents mind. Also his "backslash" , or his Backflip, is also invaluable, you can do it and it'll avoid fireballs as well, and more importantly it will allow you to escape command throws. Gotta love Claw!
Beat Grueling Akuma with the Geifster. So much more fun that way. Little Akuma doesn't have much health "Run, run as fast as you can. I catch you but once and you're a dead man." Lariat through his FBs, full-screen. After 2-3 FBs, the AI will take the bait and come in for a an attack. Telegraph it - if it's the air-to-sliding kick, you can use standing punch at the right moment to knock him out of it (step back if he's high/close enough to flip you). If He jumps over your with a kick opener, Lariat trade. His ultra's are rather predictable - make ABSOLUTELY SURE you do not jump inward to him while he has them (that triggers it). I find the most reliable way out of his ultra is jumping (yeah, I know, "duh"), because standing punch is too risky.
I used Zangief the most online and in gameplay... Didnt notice can turtle Akuma this way. Will give it a try. Agree he doesnt have much health... Usually 3 atomic crasher + 1 ultra does the trick... IF... I can... manage... to.... grab... that... fireball spamming flying black thingy.... Maybe I was sleepy when I was playing him.... Zzzzzz.....
3 Crasher + 1 Ultra is overkill. You may even be able to kill with him 1 crasher 1 ultra, if it's a full ultra.
I know what you're saying, but that's maybe a bit harsh - I'd go for 'fun novelty' rather than 'joke' - pretty much all the console players I know have been very impressed with how good it is, considering it's on a touch-screen 'phone and a fiver. Obviously it pales in comparison to the real version, but it's pretty good. My ISP is, I hope, as there'll be some serious streaming done. You going? I'm pretty sure you can't. I wouldn't be surprised if the revised way notifications are handled in iOS 5 fixes that, though. Notifications not interrupting a game was, in fact, one of the things demonstrated at Apple's keynote for iOS 5... I don't remember having too much difficulty connecting the punch, it was the fact that the challenge's move list is wrong that stumped me on Bison's 8th! Maybe this will help? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NHJupKi9-GM&feature=feedu Yep. Grueling is very much not-fun. Mainly 'case of the damage nerf. Make the AI better, don't make me artificially worse!
Sweet I'm all hyped up ! evo2k twitter: The Beast Unleashed?! Daigo Umehara... SSFIV:AE - Pool 80 and MVC3 Pool 46. Check out number 6 of this list of top 10 pro gaming moments : http://kotaku.com/5820907/the-10-best-moments-in-pro+gaming-history Daigo's first emergence onto the scene lol . Daigo "The Beast" Umehara vs Alex Valle Street Fighter Alpha 3 International Finals 1998 San Francisco
I'll be rooting all right - but for Vance Wu, Pool 40. 12p.m. He sent Justin Wong to the losers bracket as Gief on pad, and while he's too humble to say it, he used to be one of the best WoW players out there.
news? Does anybody know about new characters or other content that will be maybe added to the game in future updates or as in game purchase? Please tell me if you know!
