Street Fighter IV

I dont mean beat it outright but punish a blocked one. Many people will get hit by random Blanka balls in which is not that hard to avoid if you know they are charging. If you mean pre-emptively know when its coming to stop you just have to know when they are charging.

I just read up some strats and they said the same thing, punish a blocked ball with EX/MP/FP Seismo. If its a vertical ball then it has to be EX Seismo, and Rainbow Balls are Focus Attacks.

Again i don't think Viper has anything that outright beats a Blanka ball while its in motion. Punishing one after a block is easy though.

Has anyone downloaded alternate costumes for the characters? Each character now has an alternate costume.

What are you talking about that was old news way old. and you could see in the video I posted that I have one.

Oops, I didn't know that...

I have Live now and this game, so add me if you wish. Gamertag is PhoenixBrite. Don't expect much outta me though 'cause while I'm somewhat (emphasis on "somewhat") decent I have to play with this crappy 360 controller. ;_;

Finally got a chance to play some more of this the other day, really love the system and the focus attacks, though I'm going to need to invest in an arcade stick cause the console controllers are just not working for me. Its a pain to get off Ultras and supers....

I'm out of practice, lost quite a bit to M. Bison and Sagat. Seth is a pain too but he doesn't seem as bad as Gil or Boss Mode Bison from Alpha 3.

Did you say who you main as? Viper is getting too frustrating for me with my chipped PS3 controller. Most of the time when I try to do ultras and supers with her I get hammers. I switched to Rose who I found to be a lot easier to spam Ultras with.

I'm a Shoto-scrub, but I also play as Blanka and I enjoy Viper despite her feeling a bit out of place (she's more like a KoF character than SF). I hope to learn Fuego cause he seems to be a nastier alternative to Vega. I also wish to relearn M. Bison. I used him back in the day but he became a bit too complicated in the Alpha series. I also hope to relearn Gen.

My main issue is holding the three punch buttons down for the Ultras. Doing it manually is awkward and so is using the L1 button. I don't really want to change the controller setting but handicapping myself by not using Ultras has not been a pleasant experience...
