Yeah I have tried and failed twice on level 30 for Zangief survival normal. I thought he was the guy that I wanted to learn street fighter with but I am finding even just playing casual matches that anyone with common sense just keeps me at range. I cannot close down on the enemy well enough to inflict enough damage. As the round goes on I get more frustrated and take stupid risks and am quickly punished. Maybe I need to pick a more generic fighter to get some of the basic stuff down with.

edit- Also I am going out to find a Hori Fighting Pad thing. I am pretty sure Hori is Japanese so hopefully a local electronics shop has something because it takes forever to get something sent to Japan from the US.

I've got no practical advice for you, but maybe something from snake eyes' stream would be helpful. His last broadcast link: http://www.twitch.tv/snake_eyez_/v/51042340

I think on some of the hard match-ups he basically doesn't try to pressure until he has v-trigger, and then combos that and his EX bars to burst down the person when he catches them.

why does the matchup screen always say "not ranked" but as soon as the game starts it knows your rank? why does that screen not have access to the data? c'mon capcom

If I had to make a wild uneducated guess as to what happens during an online match, it probably goes something like this:

1) Match is found
2) Look up player's data from servers while loading and establishing connection between them (the player data lookup part is probably rate limited so their servers don't poo poo the bed so hard, hence the no data sometimes)
3) Connection is made, each player sends their own info to the other, so they can see each other's name/rank/etc during the match
4) Match finished, match data is uploaded (possibly each player uploads half/part of the replay and it gets recombined on the server; If both players uploaded a full copy of the replay it's doubling the bandwidth demand on the server, more bedshitting, etc)
The "match failed to upload" error probably happens when this part hits some kind of server rate limiting or one or both players have issues with the connection

I just noticed they've got USFIV as well. I don't care much who wins, but I'm excited to see some of that tomorrow because I played so little and so long ago that I don't remember a majority of the differences between it and 5.

I had a dream last night where my friend (who is also Pomp's Romanian Skullgirls buddy) discovered a glitch in Street Fighter EX that cut Guile's charge timer by 18 frames. He used this to gently caress people up with walkup st. Jab xx Sonic Boom hit confirmed into cr. Fierce xx Flash Kick. Where I'm going with this is I can't wait for Rushdown Guile in Street Fighter V

Zangief is a completely different playstyle from the rest of the cast - You need immense patience to succeed with him. He is fun and good but try varying it up with other characters when you're starting out, you'll learn more about the game and also have more fun.

It works pretty well for me. I haven't run into anything it won't work with, although sometimes you have to set it to PS3 mode instead of PS4 to get it to work or vice versa.

i know the owner (hes in my local group in CT) and he's a really cool dude who is an og fgc

him sponsoring sanford was awesome for the group, because suddenly all the nyc people showed up for our tournies and its a good thing, the scene in CT is 100% reliant on some people crossing the ri/ma/ny borders to play with us

except smash since those fuckers travel anywhere at any time for anything tugging a CRT tv behind them

Does SFIV-style plinking literally not work or is it just far less worth it to stretch 3-frame windows to 4? And some notes I read said input windows are increased by "2f either direction," but isn't it just 2f before? Either way sounds like it'd be 5-frame windows.

It's still a bit hard to separate notes people made in beta from release stuff when googling.
