Hands on, SFIV on iphone!

Published on 03-09-2010 01:14 PM

Let me just start off by saying SFIV for iphone rocks. We got to play it recently and you would think by dumbing down a version of sf4 to make it portable it would lose alot of flavor. Nope, this game has it all, combos, chains, fadc, ease of movement. Everything is made simple, but its still incredibly fun. For example, you can turn on special move helper, and with the touch of one button you can throw a hadoken, forward + sp is the shoryuken, and back + sp is the hurricane kick. The game is incredibly good, and a great way to kill time and level up your SF game. It is incredibly authentic, and true to the SFIV game. And if you think doing ultras and supers would be hard on the iphone or ipod touch, think again. You do them by pressing the actual ultra bar or super bar. How ingenious is that? ...

Name: Paolo Novero Handle: 4neqs Whats on your mind?: In the gaming realm, I hope to get better at SF4 and MvC2. I'm hyped for SSF4, and I hope to get a Wii get my TvC fix.

Strategy Corner: Understanding The SF4 Option Select Tech

Mariodood

Published on 03-09-2010 04:04 AM

This article is for those players with bad defense - the ones who always panic when stuck in block strings. If you have trouble teching throws, this is for you. I'm just gonna say it. There is an awesome defensive option select in SF4. Many are aware it exists but don't use it consistently or don't see why it is useful (or more useful than the stand tech). If you aren't sure what an option select is, don't worry. Just understand that it's an input which techs throws while keeping you safe from other options as well. ...

Super SF4 Developer Blog Translation, Dudley Edition

Azrael

Published on 03-08-2010 08:03 PM

Hey everyone! I'm back, translating more Super SF4 Dev blog goodness for you. This week, the developers spend the entire (very long) post talking about everyone's favorite gentleman-boxer. Is Dudley your cup-of-tea? Read on to see what the developers of Super Street Fighter 4 have to say about his transition from Street Fighter 3.

Hello everyone. This is Tsukamoto. This week I'll be joined by director Okada and the head battle planner Sano, as we talk about the last of the new characters from SF3 - Dudley - and things ranging from how he was chosen and what not. -- First off, please tell us why Dudley was chosen to be added in the game. Okada: He was chosen for SFIV because a lot of the development staff were really passionate fans of him, and he is extremely popular overseas. He is so popular that when producer Ono went to Europe to get opinions about the next installment of SFIV, he was consistently asked or requested for Dudley to be in the game. Also, we had a lot of requests from overseas fans to see the dream match-up of Dudley vs Balrog. -- Is being a boxer the secret behind his popularity?

Whats On Your Mind, Arcane Arcane?

Keits

Published on 03-08-2010 12:12 PM

Real Name: Kevin Will Lee Handle: Arcane Arcane Whats on your mind?: My dead end job, but really I got music on my mind... been in band after band. Hope it works out one day. I've been a little sucessful so far. But as far as games? SSF4 Cody and Makoto. Although, I've been playing a lot of Alpha 3 lately. I've learned not to claim a main before a game comes out, because I'm suprisingly enjoying Adon in Alpha 3. We'll see though :) I feel like I am a fast learner, so I am satisfied with my first year of competitive gaming. Time to take it higher though! ...

One thing I noticed - when learning footsies, many people advise trying to avoid becoming predictable, because your opponent can anticipate your next move. I advocate becoming just-predictable-enough on purpose. Take advantage of the "Aha!" reflex. ...

Strategy Corner: Efficient Practice Methods

omni

Published on 03-06-2010 02:13 AM

One of the more interesting things I've noticed when watching 'top players' play is how they practice. Sometimes instead of playing just over and over with no real goal - they'll say something like: Lets do first to 3 with these characters, then switch or whatever. Instead of just playing, it's organized playing. This helps out a lot with staying focused and walking away with concrete improvement. ...
