For the X-Box 360 Network Adaptor, do I have to use the actual 360 brand or would the less-expensive Pelican brand work just as well?

That would work also. I cannot vouch for quality though as I've only ever used the Microsoft brand adapter. I'm sure the Pelican adapter should work just the same, but I would suggest reading some user reviews on it first.

I'm on Sagats last hard trial but I havent played the game in a week or two. maybe this weekend i'll get back into it and get his trial finished.

Ok I never post in this section but I just had to say I am getting really sick of people who pick Akuma just to get in a few shots and the rest of the round are trying to pull off his ultimate.....WE ALL KNOW WHAT YOUR TRYING TO DO!!!!!

why else would you be cowering in the cornner quickly punching air and then kicking all by yourself!!!

so what? then punish them in the corner.

fyi akuma's ultimate or super isnt effective if it's done away from your opponent.

 

[POWER1010]

I know I do, it just drives me crazy because it's a boring friggin match, all they do is jump around until they get some space to try and pull it off and then if they don't they just keep bouncing around....then they get angry at me when I hit them with uppercuts 20 times a round!!

well you have to understand that SF4 has opened the series to a whole new generation of gamers...most of whom will be noobs because theyve never played any of the previous ones.

yeah I get it i just wish you could play online in different levels, like an experienced, intermediate\beginner type of thing.

Then you could go to whichever room and play against your skill class.

Cause the way it's set up, if you change any of the default "any" headings a search takes forever everytime you wanna play. then that person is "unable to play" and then you gotta search again, and again.....takes forever just to play one match.

true i know what you mean about using a more refined search.

I think when the new download comes out the online experience will improve. or at least im hoping it will.

As a heavy user of Akuma, I almost never rely on his Special or Ultimate as it really too easy to avoid. Fortunately Akuma has enough tricks up his sleeve to get the job done.

That's cool but all the Akuma players I've fought online (lots of them) are cowards who jump backwards and do air fireballs over and over and over. they're easy enough to beat, but I always groan when someone picks Akuma online. ALL AKUMA NOOBS, try to link your Ragin Demon super/ultra after a combo! It's so obvious if you try it out in the open!

I guess I shouldn't put all the blame on the player, Akuma has a lower defense/HP rating than every other character in the game, so he has to be played defensively.

I am a little guilty of using fireballs as Akuma. Though, his combination of air fireballs and Shakunetsu Hadoken are a great segue to the Demon Flip or the Teleport thus opening up combo opportunities.

That's perfectly fine, that's how Akuma SHOULD be played. It's great if players take advantage of his fireballs to open combo opps, but to just jump backward in a corner and fire off gohadokens the entire round is ridiculous, then, if you get close enough, they do a crouching hard kick leg sweep. Wash, rinse, repeat. I'd be surprised if anyone still falls for that.

It's hilarious watching them trying a few times and failing to perform the Raging Demon super/ultra. When I dodge it, I punish them with my El Fuerte.

Kudos to anyone who uses El Fuerte. That guy is on crack.

Dude... you sooo took the words out of my mouth, I always groan when someone picks him online
because I know I am in for quite the "jumpy tornado wind" kind of a match

 

[Ktjn]

I sorta like Fuerte, but I prefer Chun-Li...

Shes got some kick (and toe).

There are more Mad Catz SF4 Tournament Edition fight sticks coming, guys!

https://kotaku.com/5173390/more-madcatz-street-fighter-tourney-sticks-coming

It's unclear where else the Street Fighter IV fight sticks will be showing up, but Capcom is saying that they've been told they will soon be getting more of the MadCatz controllers.

"Many of you have kept your orders in place trusting that we would do everything we could to get you the much sought-after controllers. We have been working closely with MadCatz to get more; especially the Tournament Editions. Rest assured, your patience will be rewarded. We will have a few more to send out this month and by the end of April, MadCatz is confident that they will have most, if not all, of the orders completed.

With MadCatz desperately trying to keep up with demand worldwide, I suspect that Capcom's sold out store won't be the only place seeing the sticks reappearing come next month."

If you own a stick, how is it holding up? Mine seems fine still, but I haven't put it to much use lately.

Good news for people who missed it the first time and refused to pay the exorbitant prices on ebay (like me).

 

[nash]

good news, but i'll believe it when i see it.

well you have to understand that SF4 has opened the series to a whole new generation of gamers...most of whom will be noobs because theyve never played any of the previous ones.

Noobs are really annoying but can be hilarious at the same time. I was using chun-li against one today (he was ken [groan]). he did a fierce dragon punch right next to me and I blocked it, then i followed it with a hard spinning bird kick (which usually connects perfectly if you time it right after a missed dragon punch, but lands you right next to the character once you're done). So right after it finishes, he does another fierce dragon punch, which I blocked. I did another spinning bird kick.

and guess what he did right after the second connecting sbk? another fierce dragon punch. And just to teach him a lesson, I did another sbk, which won me the round and my 1 BP.

it was pretty sad. but I hope he learned something.
