Oh hey, I just bought 12 new characters. Maybe I should.....naaaaaaaah. I'ma go with my homedog Ryu.

[AAK]

I am now getting hardcore trolled....

[Degen]

You can't KO them man

they have too much health. they're like 3 of your characters


edit: oh look a ryu/ken

[AAK]

Christie LVL 3 has her headbutt right at you.

Jack X just punches that head with his Megaton Punch. KO. You had to see it to believe it.

[Degen]

I think that's the second time that happened


lol this team...

edit: hey it's the ryu/ken from the time before the last ryu/ken showed up!


The game kicked me out of AAK's lobby because of too much Jack use

GGs

[AAK]

My internet died just now... GG's. Stay free Canada. One day Christie will do something formidable.

Yesterday I named my lobby training with NEW characters.

Still 60%of the people who showed up played Ryu/Ken Ryu/Kazuya.......
Trolled most of them with Blanka and then just booted them out the endless lobby.
What's their obsession with playing bland & boring characters, there are 50+ characters on the roster but still they need that high tier blandness .

I think there's a lot of people who enjoy winning more than anything else, so they'll just go for the easiest chars I guess.

Anyway I just bought the 12 new chars, can't wait to get home and try them out. :)

[inanutshell]

I played against valle's jackx tonight. He makes the character seem ridiculously good with the long normals that are hard to punish and really good uppercut.

[NoizyChild]

Can anyone here give me some basic BnBs with Lei? I feel so lost using him.

[Horseress]

This video is awesome! Everything you need to know about Bryan!
I didn't knew he can combo his Double Back Knuckle (fierce+jab) with One Two Body Blow (jab+strong+jab) and then cancel the last jab with some special, good stuff!

[hertog]

Going to start up an endless lobby for the new characters

Play me...I play random in 90% of matches.

[Xevren]

Basically just use his cr mp. If you're up close you can do it 3x and either go into his qcb k rekka's or into a chain combo if you wanted. If you wanted to use meter you can do cr mp, cr mp, cr mp xx qcf+kk, while in back turn do his mk,hk target combo followed by cr mp, cr mp xx dp +hk followed by his kick ender. His crouching mp is ridiculous.

i don't have the new charas yet, but mind if join to check em out? don't worry, i don't play ryu or ken.

[hertog]

GF is back :(

Have to go do the groceries


I'll start one later and everyone is welcome

[hertog]

Jack-X is so awesome, but what the hell can he do to get out of pressure??

First I thought he had some inv. on his ex-uppercut.
And all his normals are SO slow.

[shiroryu]

Is it really a two month wait for the PC users to get these new characters?

[hertog]

ok endless back on....

add me as a friend and we can play

Blanka is godtier.

Don't have to switch out anymore to win online battles :D

His jumping HP beats EVERYTHING in the air

Thanks. It's just that the timing after Comet Kick is so fuzzy.

[Xevren]

Yeah it's kinda weird. Kinda helps that I played Xiaoyu a lot and with her stances and moves, it's somewhat similar.

[LakeEarth]

You gotta stop saying stuff like this. People hear Blanka is god-tier, they're never going to play SFxT again!

If anyone is interested in playing/setting up a lobby

[Xevren]

Desk showing off Lei a wee bit.

From my experience post-DLC/patch, it's been tons of Brian Fury users and a lot less shotos.

Also I am finding more matches on PSN than on XBL. Nobody on my 360 friends list is playing SFxTK but several have been back on the game on PS3.

[Xevren]

I wish I could play this online. I still really like the game, but every match feels really laggy to me. At least on PSN. Going to have access to a fiber connection over the weekend with a 360 so at least I should get some better games in that way.

[Tizoc]

Jack-X's DP+LP is too good in combos lol.
Does Cody even have any interesting combos? It's like he's there as a point/battery character.
...and holy crap Blanka is FAST.
Guy has a nice 400-ish damage combo at the corner:
Jump HP/HK-->St. HPxxQCB+MP-->Cr. MP, Cr. MPxxQCB+KK

[hertog]

my verdict on the characters I've tried until now:

Blanka: my main of SF4 has returned stronger than ever. His cross-up, hops, jump-ins and Ex-ball make him a great rushdown character. While his Upball and lightening make him a great turtling character. What he lacks in combo's he makes up in strategy.
Hit and run and when you got that life lead, sit in the corner, eat a sandwich and wait for them to make a mistake.

Dudley: What a beast. Good speed, great specials moves and brutal normals. He's gonna be a player in this game.

Elena: She's just a weird character that's nothing like her SF3 counterpart. She lost her healing and her insane throws. I think she's gonna be a nasty mix-up character with a weird jumping arc, but it's not gonna be enough.

Jack-X: love him. A giant zoning character, Dhalsim on steroids. He's fun and very powerful,but damn does his close range combat suck. Good anchor character but Kazuya, Ryu and Rufus are going to murder you with their normals/combo's.But he does one thing right DAMAGE. Ending a combo with lp DP, lp DP, Super is insane


Sakura: best incarnation ever IMHO. She's made for this game. High damaging and long combo's, good at opening people up and a glass jaw.

Bryan: too combo-heavy for my taste, but better than I first expected. He has potential, but is still pretty slow

Alisa: A very mobile version of Gouken. I like her playstyle, but I don;t know if she's very gimmicky or if she's gonna be legit. She can zone plus attack and I like those characters.

I've been hearing Lars is easily the best of the new characters. Thoughts? Won't be able to afford them for a while.

[AAK]

I've been hearing Lars is easily the best of the new characters. Thoughts? Won't be able to afford them for a while.

Way too early to tell. But from the early looks of it, Cody, Guy, Jack, Dudley all look really good. I can't tell with Lars honestly, a lot of his moves from raw experimentation look punishable but alas that's all I know from a few minutes of playtime. give it a few weeks to figure stuff out then we can make a more certain declaration of where they stand.

[DR2K]

Sakura is looking pretty good from what I can see.

[inanutshell]

Sakura is looking pretty good from what I can see.

Nah. Sakura is fun to play as but she lacks a good mixup that leads to a lot of damage. While she has some long combos that do decent damage, it's just so risky in this game to be right next to an opponent when they can just connect a jab chain into launcher, so it's hard to do the same up close game she has in sf4.

Cody also has a lot of problems getting in on defensive characters. Characters like Dhalsim or Jack-X can just play keep away the whole match and he has a hard time dealing with characters that can apply pressure like Rufus due to the lack of good reversals.

Right now I think Lars, Jack-X, Guy and Blanka have the most potential to be good.

[Nyx]

Had some games with Bryan last night, pretty cool.
But, I went back to zero BP after losing all matches played, scrub extraordinnaire! :D

[hertog]

Blanka is all about speed. I'm thinking about using speedgems on him to be extra annoying.
Still his lack of a good tag-in combo after a launcher hurts him.

[joffocakes]

I've been really enjoying Sakura so far, especially since her tatsu loops are so much easier. I've been going with a punish of j.hp, cl.hp x lk.tatsu, cl.hp x lk.tatsu, st.lk x EX.Tatsu j.mp x lk.air tatsu (LOVE this!). I usually tag in Rufus there, but on occasion I manage to do a cr.hp x lp.shouken after to juggle further, but I'm pretty inconsistent with it.

Does anyone have a decent, consistent combo for her to use when coming in after a launcher? I've been using rather wimpy cl.hp x tatsu, but I read that cl.hp x tatsu charge dash cancel cr.hp x shouken works. I dunno if it's my fat fingers preventing that or just a timing issue.

Still; she's pretty ace. Was disappointed that her anti-air cr.hp isn't SFIV levels of amazing, especially since you can cancel into her otoshi leap thing for juggles. I wanted a Juri-tier anti-air punish. :( Again; might just be mis-timing on my part, but I never landed that cr.hp cancel outside of post EX.tatsu corner juggles.

[kodecraft]

He's always had this problem.

The timing on the cl.hp x tatsu dash cancel cr. hp seems really tight. Have to connect with the cl. hp pretty early for it to work.

When playing online, I'd just stick with either close hp xx lk tatsu xx lp shoryuken or cl hp xx sakura otoshi when coming in after a launcher. In both cases, have to do the cl hp early so the opponent stays high up in the air.

[joffocakes]

Ooh; I didn't know you could do cl.hp x lk.tatsu and follow up with shoryuken. That'll be useful. Thanks, sir!

[hertog]

Hop into cross art with Blanka is very risky, but a good desperation move.

I really like my Blanka/Jack-X duo. Blanka does all the set-ups. Jack finishes the combo and leaves

[AAK]

Semi-Lei infinite discovered.

I remember trying it when I first got my hands on Lei, so I guess it's only off a tag in.

Great match

Would never imagine Poonkgo picking Lars/Alisa

Not the tightest play ever but the other player had some nice lili setups.

LMAO love that tag at the end.

[DR2K]

I need to learn how to use meter, lol.

GGS lyte edge.

[Galdelico]

I love the scene when Elena and Christie meet up in Arcade Mode... I knew Elena was tall, but never realised she was THAT tall. She's a freaking giant. :o

[Dartastic]

Honestly, the game feels way more fleshed out with these additional characters.

[Xevren]

Played all day today, I started with Lei/Guy but ended up dropping Lei. He's good but I still have a lot of work to do with him, so went with Abel/Guy and did great. I really love Guy in this.
