any tips for Cammy trial 10? I can't seem to hit the airborne cannon strike. I'm trying to start the combo from as far as possible, anything else I should try?

It's the hardest piece of execution in her trials by far. What control method are you using? I play on keyboard, and my biggest problem was pressing the attack button before the motion had finished.

Doing it from far away doesn't really help though, because it's very easy to be too slow and not combo. The timing window is just, well, tight compared to pretty much anything else in there.

Well, is your problem the move not coming out or the move not comboing? Because the latter is simply doing it too late. For the former, that's what the input display is for.

He's got the most ex moves in the game, and he's actually got (kind of) another move because if you do the power bomb on an opponent with his back to you it's a different move, plus during his vtrigger he gets another move.

He actually seems really loving complicated.

He's not, he's the same old Alex as before but now he has one new move and a fancy new V-System mechanics and none of the move inputs change all you need to know is if your opponent's back is ever towards you you will get a German suplex instead of a power bomb when you do the same command

Captain Baal

Like he's going to be able to do more than he used to because the way the game is made it allows for someone like Alex with his toolset to be decent thanks to crush counters, mid range heavy attacks, and the fact that his ex moves are still gonna be really good. Hell his V-Trigger actually looks to be pretty incredible surprisingly enough, but it's all pretty simple

Alex is a cool character and I'm glad he's got most of his moves back because it means he gets to probably be a halfway decent character for once.

UK Gamers are all loving stupid stupid cunts. Like, just loving trash. We don't actually have any taste at all when it comes to computer games. I don't think we're really a nation of gamers. Expect Knack and like, "Lego oval office Omnibus, the PS2 Budget edition" to be top of the charts forever. It's always been the way. When a blockbuster comes out, it will be number one in the charts for a bit, but, the Sims is always there at number 5, ready to climb back to number 1 when the buzz around the new CoD game has died down a bit. And there's always a Fifa or Evo or the like snaking around the charts too.

If you have a bunch of your mates over, and you mention street fighter, they'll all be like, "I always liked chum lean, but could never do her Hardouken". I mean, yeah probably a bunch of UK goons are gonna come out of the woodwork and be like "Mate you just need better friends" but look me right in the dick-eye and tell me you don't have a friend who thinks he's really good and wins an annoying amount by mashing the same move (where he presses the buttons way more than he has to) and one friend who just CANNOT loving grasp how to do any special moves. You do. And that's basically how it goes for all gaming. UK Gamers don't really want the BIGGEST AND BEST because they're sort of scared of it and "I liked dungeon keeper and hospital tycoon!" but never knew you could possess the monsters in dungeon keeper in first person because that's a bit too involved.

Its kind of the same with movies. It seems to me (maybe this is way off) but in the States if a new film comes out, and you get the average punter off the street and ask them what they think of it, like, say its Batman vs Superman, they'd say something like "Oh man, Batman vs Superman? What a bust up! My money's on Superman! I don't know if Affleck can play Batman, and, who's the guy that plays Superman? That should be good!" honestly, the average person in the UK, no, like over 50% of the people you ask, are going to say "Oh, I don't know about that" and walk away.

Its such a loving annoying attitude. 'I dont know that in depth so I wont have a go'.

I think what sums up what I'm getting at is that I imagine something like 90% of all video games and DVDs / Blurays in the UK are probably bought in supermarkets from a selection of less than 20. (Because they only sell the top 20, but sometimes games that aren't a new Sims / Fifa / Lego budget oval office omnibus / budget random bullshit pile-em-high-sell-em-cheap kids game / CoD somehow make their way into the charts and the guy at Tesco can't cope with working out how many of that might sell so they just dont stock it). Despite these ill informed supermarket sales, about 99% of the computer games market is actually just chavs stealing games and selling them to Computer Exchange (second hand gaming store).

Growing up liking computer games in the UK has been so depressing.

Yeah, I mean there's HoG. But, you know thats a MASSIVE aberration. Like, its to the point where if you see an Arcade anywhere that isn't gambling of some kind, or a pinball machine, its because the place you're in is American themed, and you can bet your rear end its broken and no one knows how to fix it or has the keys for it.

Personally that one was giving me trouble on the CA. I kept trying to cancel the drill into it, then watched the demo and turns out Cammy can just hit it as a juggle (like I didn't already know that from playing against a million Cammys?)

The divekick part I think is fairly generous, using MK divekick, starting the combo from almost max range, just as long as you don't reach the peak of your jump arc before it goes off.

Not sure if any of that helps at all.

So, opinions on the PS4 Madcatz Fightpad Pro? I've got enough store credit to pick one up 'free' (while the Hori FC4 isn't sold at the same store). Is the d-pad on it as appalling as some reviews have made it sound?

I'm torn between getting that or a £70 PS4 Venom stick, but pads are a hell of a lot easier to carry around.

Does he still have his back fierce grab thingy that changes between a headbutt and a sleeper hold depending on whether the opponent's back is turned?

After so many characters have been changed so much that they might as well be different characters altogether (Nash, Karin, Mika, Bison, Vega etc.) I'm glad that Alex sounds like he stays pretty faithful to his 3s version.

The headbutt was used for his new special move.

I wonder if they'll stick with the 100,000 FM per character thing because I already have 500,000 from just doing story/survival on Easy/Normal and all the trials and I'm probably not going to bother wasting 40k on any of the story outfits

It gives me a faint glimmer of hope that they won't gently caress up Guile, Balrog and Urien, too. Ibuki and Juri I don't care about so much. In USF4 I mained Balrog and Cammy (with a dash of Rolento on the side) and as a rule, I try to play different characters in different games so I don't confuse myself, but I've just gravitated towards Cammy in this one and I probably will for Rog\Guile, too. Although I play Boxer in ST a lot too, I probably play Dee Jay and Honda in that just as much. Guess I have a thing for charge characters.

It feels extremely weird having a Street Fighter game with no Akuma, though. As is seeing Tokido play Ryu and not Akuma. He's really a Street Fighter staple except in SF2, and even then he's in the game, it's just that he's softbanned for being a broken boss character.

I'm pretty positive that season 2 is going to give us Akuma\Sagat\Sakura. I just hope that Sakura gets a redesign and they make her sailor uniform an alt you can pick instead of her default. I like her SF4 hoodie costume a lot more. She's gotta be like 30 now and she's still in high school?

Until recently, I've been wondering ig there would be some incentive to release Akuma at the same time as Tekken: FR comes out to consoles. Seems like they could hitch their trailer to some of that hype. Maybe even make it a surprise. However, given how far behind they are on being feature complete for their initial release, it's probably naive to assume they could pull that off at this point.
