I'm just sad they're gonna nerf Gen now after Xian won Evo. You just know it's gonna happen.

I wouldn't count on them nerfing Juri lol. She arguably has a lot of hidden potential IMO, but not enough to warrant nerfs, especially with so few people playing her. I love the character. If I ever have the urge to get back into this game more often, I'd like to focus on learning her. I've fooled around a bit but no serious matchups or anything.

I'd be surprised if they didn't already have all of the balance changes figured out before Evo.

When they announced USF4, didn't they talk about looking into removing unblockables?

While we already know that this mystery [fifth] fighter will be making their first appearance in a Street Fighter title [Ultra SF4], this will also mark his/her first fighting game debut altogether.

I really doubt it.
They might unwillingly nerf him by removing unblockable or nerfing setups on wake up, but beside that, I really don't think he deserves a nerf.
I know you"re probably joking but heh :p

They also just said that the 5th character is "very much related to Street Fighter"
So I think Nilin is out.

Just because nobody bothered to learn Gen doesnt mean he is not an obscenely strong character. They probably wont nerf him, but if hes getting buffs things might get ugly. Imo super into ultra from standard pokes is silly and plain too strong. Since he can cancel into hands from pretty much anything and go right into super to ultra you can not eat a single poke once he has super and ultra or you pretty much lose the round. Its excessive and a braindead mechanic imo.

Haven't they already said the 5th character is going to be completely new, never seen before?

Any advice on how to get better at comboing? I was completely blown away by how ridiculously precise you have to be, it's literally one frame or something. To show how bad I am: I tried for at least 5, possibly 10 minutes, to complete Ryu trial 7, and I just couldn't do it. I was able to get the first two hits connected maybe 10 times, at most. I tried plinking (which if I understand it correctly is using a lighter attack just before the one you want to do) but it didn't help at all, it's just ridiculous. I can get some combos down fairly consistently (basic stuff like jump fierce kick into hadouken/shoryuken), but any combo which requires 3 hits is more or less impossible for me to pull off.

You should try breaking the combo up. For Ryu trial 7 they want you to do cr strong cr strong then cr roundhouse. So first practice cr strong cr strong then practice cr strong cr roundhouse. Then when you have them both consistently (10 times in a row without messing up) try putting them together.

This works for all combos no matter how complex

Also, you are doing plinking backwards. You want the light punch to come out second, but almost immediately after the first attack. So you get both buttons to register on the second button press, which causes the game to register the stronger attack, essentially allowing you to press the stronger button twice without actually pressing the same button.

Watch Desk's video about it, it'll be easier to see and understand.

there are so many hidden tech for this game, if you don't do your research you will be forever noob. theres just no in game info on things such as option select, plinking, doing super low kunais, air fireballs etc. its so daunting for newer players to pick up this game not to mention the dedication you need to even be halfway decent.

also, i play chun li and ive been trying to connect hanzanshu -> cr.lk xx ex legs consistently. do you guys have any tips on executing this? what ive been trying to do is hazanshu -> plink lk with lp and then spam lk+mk for ex legs to come out. was wondering if there's any other sure fire way of doing it.

Thanks for the advice. Should be noted though, there are combos where you can't really train them in parts, at least I think so. I was working on Guile trial 11 as I wrote this (jump F kick, F punch, sonic boom) and I don't think a F punch is long enough to get a sonic boom out (unless you tell the training bot to move towards you or something I guess).

Hold down-back for a second, then keep holding back and do s.HP xx Sonic Boom. But that's not a link, it's a cancel, so it should be easy enough that you don't need to practice it.
