Street Fighter IV!!!!!!!!
- Thread starter Necromancer
- Start date
I was considering getting that one Xbox360 pad by MadCatz but then I realized that SF:IV is just a fighting game and like all fighting games it lasts about two weeks (Unless it has mass-unlockables, srsly.) Soul Calibur IV lasted eighteen days for me. Will SF:IV last an entire month?
Still might buy the pad though.

I ordered it from Gamestop in the US, they are pretty much the only place so far that has shipped early, or even seems to know what their shipping plans are at all. There is <i>much</i> confusion in the UK over where will actually get the stock they thought they were getting for preorders, at least in the first batch - even the Mad Catz store itself doesn't know!Arbalest said:

/adds Spyro to "the list"
Damn, I really, really can't wait now. My buddy in Japan picked it up too, and I've been looking at vids on youtube of other people who have grabbed the Japanese version... and I still have to wait eight days. ;_;ilmaestro: You will love this
I just hope amazon ships my copy it time to get it to me for at least release day!

Oh i'm on the full european version
My only problem? The down - up stuff can be impossible. I think I need to get a stick to pull some of these combo's off.
ilmaestro: How exactly do I charge?
(Stupid question I know. Just, I've never known =/)

Ah, naughty naughty!Spyro201 said:Oh i'm on the full european version
Depending on the character you have to hold the first direction for about 1.5-2 seconds to "charge" that direction, and then hit the other direction + an attack button to get the move. There are various "tricks" to playing charge characters, though - for instance, holding down/back charges both down and back, and you can move the pad to up/back and that would count for a down-up move, but you'd still keep your back charge for a back-forward move. You can also "hide" your charge by, for instance, holding back while your character is jumping, or while you're in the middle of another move (say a couple of crouching punches) to allow you to use charge moves in combos.

See it's a bitch. I just cant pull off Chun Li's bird kick cause the down charge is a bastard. Is it charge down then Up + MK or is it; Down charge, Up, THEN MK.
Help, oh knowledgable one!?!?!

That's her new target combo, you don't need to charge the down-up motion (you might know that already, but I thought I'd mention it in case). I'm not 100% sure on the timing of that combo, as it is brand new for SFIV, but I would <i>guess</i> that you can just input the three things pretty much as quick as possible and it should come out as long as the first b+mk hits.
Is out of here

Hmm, I'm not really sure what to say without playing the game myself tbh. I don't think it's <i>supposed</i> to be that hard to time, if that helps to keep you motivated.
You can't actually do the move unless it's at the end of that three hit combo, so I'd say you have to do it fairly quickly after the second mk. But other than just trying it with as many "different" timings as you can, I don't know what to say. Try using the analog stick if you're not getting it out on the d-pad.

:lol: d00de. You think I haven't tried the analogue stick? I spent AGES just pumelling away trying to do that combo. I tried it facing L/R, with D-Pad/Analogue, you name it, I tried it.
With any luck il get a chance to play it tonight; and i'll see how I go then.

Ah the folly of being impatient :wink: You've got about a week before FAQs for this start appearing those will be your best bet if you haven't figured it out by then
