this thread is not the place for that. make a guilty gear thread if you want to get people into it
I just couldn't resist being an asshole :p
I like SF4 as much as the next guy, but if people find themselves annoyed by it's mechanics (which they shouldn't, what's in the game is in the game :p), they should know there are other games around :p.
And that depletes my amount of :p for today .
lol you know most fighting game fans don't play just one game right, I think you're preaching to the choir.
TLers are probably more educated than average, but most Capcom players don't give ArcSys games much of a thought.
I know E Ryu is the new Sakura in this thread that everyone is randomly playing, but after seeing him in action some more... hot damn that teleport is awful. I wanted to hop on the bandwagon, but I'll be sticking to balrog for now

Eh.
You can just like, not use the teleport ever. He still has a 3 frame DP. The main use of the teleport is that the existence of it invalidates certain option selects if the opponent assumes that you might use it sometimes. Btw, it's currently really annoying to me how when Evil Ryu does a divekick that looks like it hits behind them people say "ambiguous divekick". Evil Ryu's divekick basically never crosses up. I think I tried to get it to cross up for like an hour and it never did, no matter how it looked like. Could be characterspecific.
If the forumposters are switching from Sakura to Evil Ryu I cannot really understand it. She has far better footsies, better confirms, better FADC damage, easier ultras to combo into, better neutral, better setups... Evil Ryu has like, the better defensive play with his DP and his better crouch tech option select but that still is nothing amazing.
Oh and I guess Evil Ryu does better against Dan because apparently people say that Dan > Sakura which I definitely won't believe.
I just recently bought this game on PS3 because I was looking for a good 1v1 competitive online game on console, to kill time when I'm a bit tired of SC2. I'm absolutely terrible at fighting games, I know that I suck hard and that I will need to train seriously before I even try 1v1. However, I feel like my original PS3 pad is not helping me much in the process. I'm definitely not going to invest in a 100-150€ stick but it seems like there are a few fighting pad out there for ~40€. Can those be really useful? If yes, any recommendations?
Sorry if these question has been asked many times before

Meh, I play on PS2 pad, and I believe it to be the most accurate D-Pad besides the Saturn pad which is pretty difficult to mod/obtain. PS3 is basically the same except the L2 and R2 buttons are poop. Really though, the type of controller you use is just like mouse/keyboard in SC2. It can help make you more comfortable, but it's not going to make you a better player. Out of curiosity, do you use the D-Pad or analog stick?

I don't really know about the history of this Sakura/Evil Ryu thing on TL, but I will be sticking with Sakura until SF5, and repping her at Evo. I might have to give in to Chun loyalty if they make her top tier again, though.

Yeah if you're just having difficulty with basic motions, switching controllers won't help. The big reason to switch to a FightPad is that it has all 6 buttons on the face of the pad, but honestly I think the D-Pad feels like ass. All you need is practice.
whoa whoa whoa, I am not dropping Sakura. She is my main, and that's that. I just wondered about the 2013 patch, whether they would gut her due to all the rampant complaining she receives these days. Looks like they want to extend the hurtbox on her j.fp (which I'm fine with - she doesn't need a normal that stuffs Bison's s.rh for no reason, and as long as the hitbox is unchanged all her oki will remain intact) and make her ex tatsu +2 on block instead of +4 (which I'm also fine with - she doesn't need to have a true blockstring after that move on block, and +2 gives it the same utility, except now the frame trap is vulnerable to reversals as it should be). but they also said they want to fix her dp so it combos properly from further ranges of whiff punishing with c.mk (!!!) and improve her backdash (!!!!!!!!!!), so she's still gonna be mega fucking high tier.
I'm picking up Evil Ryu for funsies, nothing more. I woulda switched to him if they ruined Sakura but it seems like she's popular enough (and capcom is smart enough) not to give her the Yang treatment. I have a lot of faith in Capcom's balancing of this game after seeing what they did to Yun, and how he remains a competitive character. I'm looking forward to some weaker characters getting additional utility or damage or what have you. in the ideal fighting game, every character is competitive. That's how KoF13's balance is done and it works beautifully. It's just harder to do in this game because not every character can abuse the game systems as much as the next - if you have an invincible reversal that you can make safe on block for two bars, you got a leg up. If you have better post-knockdown setups than the next guy and can get fat damage off that game, you got a leg up. That's not a complaint though, and it shouldn't be taken as one. As silly as it may be, I love this game to death :D And I don't even feel like a tier whore because I picked up the ridiculous monster that is Sakura way back in Super, when she was already this strong, just overshadowed by the Hondas and Chuns and Guiles of super, and the twins/fei long of AE
and fuck y'all I'm the best Sakura on TL! I'm the one Sakura with a decent win percentage against Jozhear (~40% is decent for that matchup vs that player LOL)
We can all have an "I'm Spartacus" party with this. I'M THE BEST SAKURA ON TL. NO, I AM!

If you had ever played me offline you'd know I'm not That does remind me though, who all from this thread will be at Evo? Itd be fun to hang out and mash out some games if I'm ever not hounding out kof matches.

I'll be there, and I think I know a couple of other TL guys who will be also, but I don't want to speak for them. SF4 isn't exactly my main game but I'll be entering it anyway.
