So the code Gamestop sent me for preordering the USF4 upgrade turned out to be a $15 Microsoft credit so I could go buy it on the store myself

Wasn't it supposed to be a code that came with the costumes?

They will send you the costume code separately sometime later.

I have the game on disc and I plan on downloading Ultra today, but I also kind of want to get AE off of games for gold on the 16th so I don't have to use a disc anymore. I wonder if this will bork my game or not.

As this is my plan also, i was a bit bummed and confused by this:
Once you update you will no longer be able to download Super SFIV and Super SFIV Arcade Edition. I don't get why i wouldn't.

Still training..
So a few training mode findings to start things off:

Decapre's hurtbox is wonky, possibly borked. Yun's bnbs that go from cr.mp to st.mp don't work on her, either the stand mp doesn't connect (what usually happens) or the HK upkicks whiff depending on the combo you're talking about. I picked Cammy dummy instead and everything I noticed missing on Decapre worked fine on her so :shrug:

Also, this seems weird but if you kara cancel a move (like Sagat f.LK) into red focus you get EX red focus instead of normal red focus. Which makes it cost 3 bars and not have armor. I was excited to see Sagat run up at a dude and get all red and scary until I noticed this was happening, seems like an intentional design decision to nerf kara cancelling normals into red focus. Still might be useful somehow, guess we'll see!

edit: Looks like I'm partially wrong about this, just tested doing Ken's f.mk kara cancelled into red focus and it's only 2 bars. Something really weird is up with Sagat then because it cost 3 bars (and crumpled immediately) when I tested kara cancelling for both his f.LK and f.HK normals

edit edit: Okay I guess doing kara cancel into regular focus costs 2 bars and probably always has? So it's still weird but not NEW weird, just something I never knew about Sagat in general being combined with the new version of focus.

How are you supposed to handle what appears to be a 50/50 situation?
Let's say I block either Ken's Hurricane Kick or Dan's Hop Kicks. After that they can follow it up with a grab or a shoryuken and I'm not really sure if there's anything I can really do other than guess to grabtech or block.

It used to piss me off since it felt really random but lately I somehow been able to get it right almost every time, even when I thought that I should've been hit out of a grabtech with a shoryuken I somehow ended up blocking it.
Funny thing is that I have no clue about what (and even if) I'm doing right here.

EDIT: On an unrelated not. I just realized that shoryuken is spelled ShoRyuKen. Who's Sho? :downs:

You delay your crouch tech (cr.lp+cr.lk) to account for the timing you think that they will DP. You can backdash/jump but some characters still tag it with their DP. Each defensive option has some risk/reward with it. Blocking is the answer for a lot of situations and if he's going to raw DP after a blocked tatsu, he's an idiot and you should punish him for it.

You can definitely do one-frame links online. If you are hit confirming the latency won't actually affect it; it's muscle memory either way.

Don't play a character that needs one-frame links if you are just not going to do them. That is just willingly gimping the character so bad, especially if it's an essential BnB.

Yeah I'll mess around with her in training mode for fun but otherwise I still have Guile, Sagat, Elena, and maybe New-And-Improved Ken to try out first.

Quick question on Sagat: I used U1 for him most of the time and only used U2 in certain matchups, but now that DP FADC dash forward is unsafe, should I start using U2 and then doing DP FADC backdash while buffering it in case the DP hits? It seems like a much safer (if less damaging) option. I think they nerfed U1 damage anyway.

I was thinking that maybe delaying the tech would let me counter both moves but I tried that with a friend and I can't seem to be able to do that. I always either tech too late, getting grabbed, or tech too early and get my face DP'd. Is there any trick to it or does it just have a very precise timing?

Backdash seems to work well though but like you said, some characters still hit you.

In those situations keep in mind that if your opponent decides to DP, you are going to get a huge punish. This means that IF YOU GET A FULL PUNISH CONSISTENTLY, your opponent is either going to a) DP less and throw more often, making it an easier guess for you, or b) keep DPing often and give you free huge damage for very little risk on your part.

If you guess wrong and eat the DP, you take just DP damage, but if you guess right and bait the DP you do a huge amount more to the opponent.

This might be why, as you say, you can "usually guess right" out of this situation even though it's a "50/50".

Yup. If it makes it any easier for you, the best way to get HP daggers in an instant is to press HP, then just slide your finger down to LP and then back to HP without picking it up. If you do it correctly the game should register HP, MP, LP, MP, HP as successive inputs, and the daggers will activate on HP.

I use a similar method for canceling Chun Li's crHP into HK legs.

on the opposite end, as a dude who only ever really plays charge characters I'm finding it really really easy to play decapre. I'm just doing regular bnb stuff like cr. lk cr.lp cr.mp into her psycho sting. does some really nice damage. also I can se some dirty thing coming from being able to jump like 2 feet off the ground and going into air cannon strike. that comes out super duper low.

EDIT: anyone else find odd that you cant combo into super by doing daggers all the way? I always have to super cancel after before the last hit juggling. :/

That's the issue with delaying your tech. There's no one specific timing for it. You are making an assumption on the opponent's timing and basing your timing on that. You are recognizing what you are doing wrong when you tech too late/too early, so good on you for that. Part of the counter-strategy for crouch-teching requires making reads on whether or not the opponent will crouch tech, and there's specific things that they can do to blow it up. I would never crouch tech vs. grapplers for the most part, fyi.

There are a lot of people(online) that will -always- throw no matter the situation, even if they land a hit beforehand. If you can tech them well enough, they'll lose their offensive momentum and you can start playing the neutral game again.

This is pretty much what I was gonna say. Don't worry about the DPs. Just block on wakeup. If they throw you, block again until they DP and then have a good punish ready. Once they start trying to throw more often, either tech the throws or find something that beats throws and do that.

So Gouken cr.mp xx lp fireball comboing is really cool but pushes back really far, you can't follow up outside of the corner without FADC. Hit confirming into FADC is really easy though so if you've got the meter to burn you've got some good options, here's some new combos I've found so far:

cr.mp xx lp fireball FADC close MP, sweep -for the hard knockdown

cr.mp xx lp fireball FADC close HP xx EX or HP rush punch -great damage for hit confirming off a low, especially if you have the extra bar to spend

cr.mp xx lp fireball FADC close MP - stand or crouch LK xx HK tatsu FADC Ultra 1 or 2 -max damage, costs a full bar but builds a decent amount during the combo so you could probably pull this off as long as you have 3+ bars already

cr.mp xx lp fireball FADC far MP xx MP rush punch -if you land cr.mp from farther out

You could also go for a reset by cancelling into demon flip instead of your real ender if you wanted to be swag.

btw If any Juri players here haven't already started abusing the new EX mid fireball, holy poo poo do that. There's something strange about the hitbox, so instead of just hitting twice and dissipating, it sort of rams your opponent back, making this really huge space in between the fireball strikes. I didn't check if the opponent actually leaves blockstun for a moment (I don't think so, but it'd be interesting if they did) but it locks them down a really long time.

I got caught up for just over $20. Find a used Super Street Fighter IV disc on eBay and then buy the $15 Ultra Street Fighter IV upgrade from the marketplace. I don't know what platform you play, but here's a copy of Super SF4 for the 360 at $7.91 with free shipping. And I didn't even look all that hard, you can probably find it cheaper.

Speaking of Elena, besides the BnBs we've seen in videos so far, I found this works:

c.MP XX rdp+HK (Lynx Tail) XX level 2 Focus, dash, hcf+HK (Rhino Horn), U1 [484, 366 if hit confirmed with two c.LPs]

The timing on the Focus is weird but easy, you just start it right away, but the Focus doesn't cancel the Lynx Tail until the second hit. I've tried this on Poison so far and will try it on others. The lovely thing is that I can't get s.HP to land after the focus, otherwise you might be able to get pretty good damage without the Ultra.

Edit: If you hit confirm with c.LP c.LP c.MP, the first hit connects but the immediate second hit of the HK Lynx Tail whiffs on Ryu, and probably a lot of other characters. That's pretty lovely.
