How much throwing is too much? I have developed a hunger for unleashing a throwpocalypse after I get a knockdown.

There should be a dip switch setting that autoforfeits the match if you throw. Only fair for such a dishonorable tactic.

Look, if throwing on wakeup is wrong, I don't wanna be right (or play Rose anymore, that's her whole mixup game there, throw or cl.MK).

Walking into, out of, and back into throw range is a mix up any character can do. :colbert:

I'd say throwing is inherently stronger online, because it's harder to react to it.

I'd say don't develop a habit of throwing too much, because then any good opponent you face will just start using lows and frame traps to blow up your excessive throwing.

You can't react to throws in SF4. It's always a guess to try to stand/crouch tech, even if you're 'reacting' to the setup.

If somebody isn't teching your tick throws, keep throwing them. If somebody isn't punishing you mashing stand tech or crouch tech on defense, keep doing it.

The Rose Shimmy isn't that simple, sometimes you stay out of throw range and block the crouch tech or DP. Rose mixups.

What you do is get a throw, then do the shimmy into a throw, then dash back dash in cl.MK into a soft knockdown, pretend like you're going for something else and calmly back off to block the DP. It's like playing Ken!

Ken is actually better than his AE2012 incarnation and is still fine for beginners.

However, since Ken and Ryu are so ubiquitous, winning with them can sometimes be a challenge. If you chose Ken "just because," there are many other characters that are beginner friendly that you can choose from.
Would you have a recommendation for someone who enjoys the fairly slow pace of SF4 in general (I know some people complained/used to complain about how strong defense was in AE but I like it) and would prefer a more generalised jack-of-all-trades character rather than a rushdown/grappling/whatever specialist?

Ryu, Balrog, Rose, Chun-li. Depends on how much you value having a projectile, really.

I hate that everyone online now seems to be aware of Rose's fast as gently caress throw. She beats out Hugo's SPD so regularly it's like my second most hated match behind Gouken fireball spamming.

one of the most annoying things about rose is that her hop kick is drat near a perfectly safe button starting at frame 0. Just loving do it, worst thing that can happen is a random ultra or random uppercut>fadc into incomplete ultra. You can't do poo poo to it on reaction, even whiff punish it.

All throws are the same speed minus Gouken back throw and all grappler SPDs are throwable during startup. If you're getting thrown out of SPD it's a situation where a normal would hit you anyway, and because you've done nothing to establish to them that throwing in that situation isn't a good option.

The gently caress?

Maybe Roses are just smart idk, I thought I heard (possibly on dumb commentary) that her throw is superior in some way and other than cool people who can grab me out of MS/Lariat that's the only character who I've seen counter throw me consistently and fucks up my SPD game regularly.

She has a higher normal throw range than most of the cast but there's no special throw priority or anything like that. Chun-Li and Vega have similar throw ranges.

This. I get a bunch of throws on grapplers because if you try to SPD me, there's always the chance you're getting blown up by cl.MK, so every once in a while I'll just dash in throw. Add that to the great throw range...

I love cl.MK.

Hi would you guys like to do an SF4 team tournament on PC?

2 captains (Bebopablorbpalbopalo and Trykt), pick teams, BO1 Pokemon style (you play until you lose a game, captain chooses next person to play).

Will run it in the evening EST time for any given day. Captains will draft players in #goonsgarden blah blah I'll post more formal rules once there's indication of interest. I'll stream it or Snakeman will or something.

If you would like to play in the tournament you need to do two things:

1) vote in this poll: http://strawpoll.me/2551614
2) write a post with the following bolded:

### FORUMS NAME HERE / STEAM PROFILE LINK HERE

If I didn't explain this clearly at all then ask and I can make fun of you. If there's interest in this I can also set up more events (maybe not all in SF4).

Up to you if you want to deal with the lag. There are going to be some USA west coast people, so it's gonna feel real bad on that SF4 netcode. People will probably cry "that was bullshit" whether they win or lose in that delay.

...Does the move where Yang grabs the other guy and flips over him actually do damage? I'm watching this replay in slow motion and I do it twice to Sagat. The first time, I didn't see his health bar go down, but the second time it won me the second round. Is it just such a ridiculously small amount that you wouldn't notice it outside of that kind of situation?

Turns out that trying to learn Street Fighter 4 with Evil Ryu wasn't the best idea in the world. I love that one combo given to me by the #goonsgarden folks that has no less than 3 one frame links. Very newbie-friendly.
