People need to accept my friend requests on PSN D: I wanna try out some endless/team battles with TL members, get to laugh at my awful Sagat/Dictator.

Thanks for all the corrections on the stuff, I hang around with some old school marvel players sometimes, they showed me the stuff but it had been awhile, I was just trying to get some of it straight, good looking out. I thought Marvel was cool, but ever since Blackheart turned garbage I lost a lot of interest. I mostly play Guilty and Blaz anymore when I play at all. Been playing GG since 03 and just can't quit.

But since that is all terribly off topic in the SSF4 thread I will add that Guile is super awesome now with the reduced charge on booms and sonic hurricane.

hey is anyone here good w/ rufus? I think bill307 is good w/ him so maybe u can help me out?

im having a lot of trouble understanding the grabs in this game. when should i be grabbing? After I hit him high/low with a divekick? how come sometimes when I divekick > grab it completely whiffs? does it matter if they are crouch/standing? etcetc i have so many questions - this shit is really overwhelming. are there some basic rules of thumb w/ rufus about this stuff, mostly the divekick crossups?

you just have to time the hit/block stun, its easier if you whiff the dive kick after a couple of successful ones

You cannot grab people in hitstun/blockstun, that is why you whiff your throw sometimes (you do it to fast). Standing/crouching doesnt matter.

Also with Rufus make them guess between divekick/xup and throw. If you can catch them crouchteching when you are doing a divekick you can do alot of dmg.

for divekick / throw mixups with rufus, it's a ton easier if you just tick into them with a st.lk before throw. Basically, once you divekick you can do a combo / blockstring like lk, hp xx hp tornado, or cr.lk xx lp tornado; you can tick by doing any combination of lk, cr.lk, cr.lp etc and just walk up throw; and you can just rejump and do an immediate followup divekick to beat someone who's trying to tech a throw.

To make it even more successful, do your lk or whatever on block after a divekick and walk like you would for a tick throw, but instead of throw do ex messiah.

Really, it's something you need to freestyle and adapt to each opponent. Getting used to your tools and seeing when to switch them up will really destroy some people. Try to make mental notes of what's working and what's not as you're doing it as well; some players will just never get tick thrown until you ex messiah them for always teching, some will never get thrown off by cr.lk ticks but cr.jabs will make them free, and some people get so frustrated if you redive on them a couple times that anything you do after the 3rd divekick will work lol.
