Yeah Raging, those lobbies are fun as hell. You get to watch the matches...everything seems pretty smooth for the time being.

Endless Mode you mean? Pretty incredible. I can do that shit all night. Crack a beer, spark it up and just chill. It's the best of both worlds.black_vegeta said:

I'm actually glad I gotta work the weekend this weekend. I just hope the local Gamestops don't not have it when I get up Tuesday afternoon. (Figured I'd get rid of junk+ be quicker then Amazon)
HDR this weekend- all the good players got Super early, so it's just the Akumas, autofirers, and ragequitters left.

Oh my.
Maybe I'm getting ahead of myself here after playing SSFIV for a few hours, since I'm just a rookie in the grand scheme of things, but I'm under the impression that Yoga Shangri-la really changes the match-up versus Akuma when Dhalsim gets his Ultra bar. Partially considering the fact I had no luck landing a succesful Yoga Catastrophe on him, but admittedly I sort of forgot how to fight against Akuma for a while after not having played SFIV for so long. Hence why I decided to give his other Ultra a try. When I started getting a grasp - just to some extent mind you - of when might be good time to use Shangri-la vs Akuma and after I got somewhat familiar with the instant-air execution of it (still plenty of room for improvement though), there were a lot of opportunities to punish an Akuma who was mixing it up in the air. For example:
- At one point he did EX Air Fireball when I wasn't knocked down. The fireballs went right through Dhalsim and his arms got a hold of Akuma.
- Later on he tried a cross-up Tatsu on knockdown: purely as a fluke, I got Shangri-la to auto-correct and Akuma got grabbed as he landed.
- He also seemingly has to be careful with his Demon Flips, and as Arturo mentioned a while ago, any sort of jump-ins within its range seems pretty risky.
The damage buffs have also been favorable to Dhalsim in this match-up as expected: IAT + fierce + straight-up Super = 50% (or slightly more) of his health. This usually seemed to be the case when he already had a relatively full life bar however: no idea just how much the game's system generally scales attacks past a certain point of a character's health bar. Quick note: the guy I played against claimed that he didn't know precisely what to do against Dhalsim, so while he was still giving me a hard time every now and then with Akuma's more damaging combo's, I reckon it won't be as easy as I'm (probably) making it sound right now once Akuma players are more... aware of the crucial changes. He also used Ultra I; not sure how much of a difference Ultra II would've made.
Either way: I really want to see what a match between two players with great execution will look like, as mine is subpar at best.

Standard grabs are LP+LK at the same time. Every character has it and you can tech out of it by doing the same button pressing the same exact time your opponent does. Basically you have to predict whether your opponent is going to do it.
Command grabs require motion like Abel's tornado throw and Zangief's pile driver. One is quarter circle forward + punch while the other is full 360 motion + punch. Some characters have command grabs while others do not. Most characters do not actually. They are harder to do and you can't block or tech them.
