Yay they actually fixed the netcode, works pretty much perfectly now. Used to be I had to have my firewall on before I could play, I think it automatically throttled the crazy pinging going on or something.

Though I still get some bugs. Today I accidentally pressed save replay after winning, it got stuck uploading, I Alt+F4'd and got hit with -128pp. Also my game crashes to desktop every time someone has certain characters in their name, leading into the same -128. Oh well.

Oh, and I guess I'm still up for games against other EU people, add me at http://steamcommunity.com//id/zingih (don't mind the sieg heiling animes, I'm not actually a Japanese nazi.)

I've a good-ish Hakan and lots of bad characters.

It was probably steamworks since no other multiplayer games actually work on steam.

Steamworks, most other games make their own netcode (think ggpo) or use a client-server architecture and just use it for match making which is why it was never noticed. The Steamworks P2P api was apparently hosed

I just played a handful of matches on steam while playing in training mode (so no private rooms). Mostly I got bodied, but I did manage to blow up a Seth who had links but not footsies (wtf). The important part was that the connections were good to great, so that's a very welcome change.

That's pretty understandable. I'm that kind of person who has spent a whole bunch of time in training mode but never actually plays anyone so my timings are good and I can perform links somewhat consistently but don't have any idea how to actually fight a person. Well, I used to be like that, but I haven't touched SF4 in like a year. Now that the netcode is fixed probably gonna get back into the game.

I love playing against people like that, I call them Training Warriors, because I can just sit back and anti-air and out-footsie them all day. Vega in particular has great tools for that.

After a break from playing since before omega mode was out I recently hopped on and hosed up the 43rd best ibuki on live with Hugo and when I went to upload it youtube I realized I did the same thing to him before my break when he was ranked 23rd lol

I'm terrible but I have that guys number I guess.

its not hard to be a "top" ranked player for an uncommon character. Is there a most played list? I was the #3 Thawk for several months last year. I'm terrible, but 99% of online cant handle safejumps and empty jump SPDs.

A lot of the top 10 players I run into pull the plug as soon as they fall behind. Thats all it takes to be top ranked, plug pulling and a 30% DC rate

I understand, I was top 50 for hugo for a while and I can't pull off a lot of advanced stuff at all. Hes a fun character for that. Like I never even really folded claps into my game and I still was doing pretty good overall just shoving armor in peoples faces and mixing up lariat and meat squashahhhh

Don't know if Chun has anything like that but I always go for a trip-guard/low-profile.
Elena's sweep totally counters the elbow for example.

Low profile is probably your safest and most consistent option. Chun cr.mp will definitely work.

Keep in mind that Guy's floaty down MP elbow drop and his flip elbow drop are two different moves with different hitboxes/hurtboxes and so on. A good low profile move still beats both even after d.MP's hitbox buff in Ultra but neutral jump normals are a better response to flipping because it stops him from jumping over you and flip elbow is hard to get a grounded punish on. Sometimes Guy will accidentally airthrow you out of your neutral jump but that's fine, the reward is worth it. Also for Chun in particular, her nj.HK might be the best neutral jump air to air in the game but nj.HP should be even better against flip, beastly damage and I assume you can get stomps into the corner or a U2 follow up for like ~400 damage.

It does 180 damage though!

When you play bad characters, you have bad matchups. If you play really bad characters, you have near-unwinnable matchups.

Like several other famously "bad" SF4 characters including Fei, Cammy and Gen, Ultra Deejay is one innocuous-looking buff away from top tier. Thankfully Capcom knows what's up and will never give it to him.

Sim does clobber him though, none of Deejay's solid distance-closing tools change the fact that random limbs hurt and EX Upblast hell is a real place. At least cr.MP counterpokes are really satisfying :3:

I just got a fightstick (I think it's the entry level Qanba stuff), and I had Ultra on PC but I haven't played it much since it didn't feel right with a controller.

any tips on how to get started? I've always wanted to play SF at a good level but my country has a relatively small SF scene and we don't have any arcades anymore. I've been practicing DP FADC Ultra 1 on Ryu like every single day so I can do it cleanly but I don't know where to start with the more advanced stuff like plinking.
