Both Akuma and Gouken are easy to unlock if you set it to 1-round matches and set it to easy. I don't even play much Street Fighter anymore and I managed to get them easy. I think Gouken is very interesting to use with his variations on Ryu and Kens move list but I haven't played enough of him. I actually only played him once to finish his story and that was about it.Quote:

You have to set it to 1 round matches to unlock them in the first place IIRC.
Lol i went to that International Tournament. It was hella hype! :D And its Poongko..D: Though its pronounced Pungko.
DK : What you need to do is do a back throw, then do the Ultra right after. Its that easy..>_> You can set so many things up because people will be afraid to be near you once you get an Ultra since one grab = huge damage. Gouken however isn't as Hax as Sagat or Ryu though...those guys are top for sure.
Also:
YouTube - Seth's 29 Hit Combo
Poongko in the Korean Nationals, playing like its a Combo Exhibition. He was truly ahead of everyone else in Korea although last Saturday it shows he still got alot to go compared to the USA and Japan. He is no pushover though, hella offensive.

You guys also need to see Daigo's setups and predictions...truly 'psychic'. I thought it was WTF when i saw it in real time, but thinking back after the event was over...its just classic stuff. He baited that hard punch so well, hence the missed uppercut at first...it was no mistake.
YouTube - Daigo psychic dragon punch into full screen super!
This is truly oldschool...taking basic Street Fighter II stuff into SFIV.
For example: YouTube - Daigo vs. Sirlin
Just goes to show how the basics you learn are more important than flashiness. All those uppercuts thought ahead so well...
I've seen videos of him in action. He's even bigger in size than Akuma.Quote:

I can't take it anymore. I have to play this again and i swear I'm going to be the best C. Viper player in the world before I die.
Also, what the hell happened at the end of this?
YouTube - Street Fighter 4 Viewtiful Ryan (Abel) Vs H1R0 (Sakura) 3
I'm no expert, but I believe Abel's Ultra takes a few frames to actually execute after it starts. He is not invincible at this time, so the Sakura player was able to enter the combo for her Ultra when Abel's began (but before he was invincible) and finish it before he actually hit her, canceling it out.
Pretty sure Rase is right on that count. Sakura got her hit in before Abel did, and he wasn't invincible right then.
Must have sucked hard for the Abel dude to see that happen xD
The screen seemed to had just jumped though.
When someone does an Ultra, or a Super for that matter, the screen pauses for a while but it still reads your inputs. So while the screen is doing its dramatic pause, you can mash the hell out of your own Ultra so as soon as the pause finishes, yours will come out. It is a pretty good tactic for most people to counter someone else's Ultra with your own Ultra, because oftentimes whoever did their ultra *last* will win. Depending on how quickly it executes.
This is one reason why Rose's Ultra is so dangerous, for situations like this. Most ultras give you 'super armor' during their execution, but most Ultras also have 'armor breaking' properties to them.
Something to consider!
--------------------------------------------------
So, the Update. I haven't bothered (and probably won't for a while) with the actual fighting of the tournament mode, but I've checked out the Replay features of both the PS3 and 360 version. As far as function, the 360's version is by far superior.
Here's what the 360 replay allows you to do:
-Slow down the action
-View each player's inputs
-View each other's Attack Data (hit damage, combo damage, that kind of stuff)
-Save Replays
PS3 version:
-You can make one of 3 votes twice a second, up to 99 times: 'Funny, Awesome or Beautiful'. The icons are just up on screen as the replay goes on, and you see what other people have voted.
It's kind of pointless, but also kind of fun. I really don't know why they split the features like that--both versions could have had all of those features. The 360's version is functionally better because you can save the replays to watch whenever you want, even when not online, and it would be easier if you wanted to learn some things from a particular replay when you can slow down and see the inputs as well. Also, when I tried it out for the first time yesterday, the PSN wouldn't even let me download the replays at all, while the other version was completely flawless. PSN seems to be working fine today though.
This has gotten me 'back' into Street Fighter, since I took a break because school was getting kind of rough :P See how long that lasts...
Their's a replay feature for 360? Why isn't there one for PS3. That's really unfair. I am itching to send video of some of my game footage and it would probably be easier if I did that. I have the championship mode too, but I didnt see any voting thing.
I'm still having prolems with the analog stick and d-pad not being able to get out certain moves correctly all the time like Balrog's rush, and Chun li's super and ultras.
There is a replay feature for the PS3, but all you can do with it is look at it and do a useless 'vote' thing while it's playing. You can't save it, slow it down, or look at the inputs like you can on the 360.
The 'voting' comes up when you look at someone else's replays.
I heard from the update Fei Long's Chicken Wing comes out slower but has more invincibility frames now to make it so they cant infinite Abel and Seth. But i dont know other than that D:
Announcement on May 1st about an announcement for the PC version, cant wait.
Fei Long has an attack called Chicken Wing? That's pretty funny
This is probably old, but you can make replays on PS3 since i have many friends with replays on there.Quote:

Here's my video that I recorded. It's quite difficult playing since since I chipped my controller a little.
YouTube - Street Fighter IV Replay Nmbr2Pencil (Gen) Vs Taptapa (C Viper)
Lol were you the viper?
yep. I also had a mirror match with a dhalsim the other day. It was kind of laggy, but the fight was great. We ended up getting a double ko at the final round. Whish I could've recorded it. Oh and sorry about video it's hard trying to hold the camera still for that length of time.
