So who's ordered from Gameshark? I've had no notification of dispatch yet!

I ordered a TE on Monday morning but I've had no notification of dispatch yet. It's the first time I've used them so i don't know their policy.

[merf]

i got my 2 Ryu pads today that I ordered monday, no despatch note, they just turned up.

make the game a lot more playable than the standard pad I have to say.

[Atticus]

Sounds promising ... cheers merf

This is probably the best C.Viper play I've seen so far:



Nice pressure in the beginning half of the first round, with heavy use of feints seeming to keep Sagat scared.

[Number45]

Awesome Sagat domination in round two... and horrible audio!

[Soundwave]

Finally cracked my copy open tonight & played it for the first time.

I'm impressed it's freaking gorgeous & plays like a dream.

Unfortunatley my Hori EX2 does indeed suck.
The gate is horrible on it & pulling off supers is a real hit & miss affair I really need to get my GT-Y Restrictor fitted now.
Although I cant imagine how hard my brother found it using a standard pad when playing...hope Madcatz hurry up with more stock of the Fightpads so I can get at least a reasonable game against him without feeling bad about having an advantage.

Anyway all in I'm glad I finally got started on it...cant believe I waited so long.

I tell you what, I need a stick or Dpad quick style.

360 pad is killing my soul right now feels like I only have half of the game.

are these madcatz pads ment to be good like? my brain is all over the place

[merf]

I'm a lousy level player so don't take my word as gospel, I'd say the Madcatz pad is far more suited to pulling off moves than the standard xbox one, plus having 6 face buttons feels more comfortable. Pad is quite big and sits nice in the hand, the thumpad is quite raised and has a lot of movement in it with some small clicky feedback.

I would say though that its not a vast leap worth paying silly ebay prices, even £35 seems a bit steep.

I'm not a SF obsessive though so don't know anything about frame data etc, all I can say is I get far more dragon punches first time than I did before.

[eastyy]

have to say the fight pads are really good after a bit of play though there starting to loose that slightt stiffness the d-pad had the begining but it is still good

anyway back to the game done most of the hard challenges bar el fuerto and c viper....i cannot do some of her challenges at all (i mean standing lk to croucking lp into high jump into a super move.....i cannot do that all even accidenetly)

oh any news on the dlc championship mode ?

[Stormtec]

Viper's hard challenges involve a lot of very, very quick motions due to use of superjump cancels and feints into other moves. So they are pretty tough XD

As for the dlc, very unsure as to where it's gone. Heard one account that it might be 31st of March, but I doubt that...

[Mayhem]

I suppose you could also be a scrub and spam fireballs with a shoto character...

Thought of that, he either countered with a Yoga Fire or jumped over them... and then proceeded to air hard down within range while Sagat was still recovering (yeah, WTF, like he could predict when I was going to tiger him).

Faced a 2,500+ BP Zangief player yesterday, he was pretty decent but I knew what to do there with Sagat, poke poke poke away and get in get out and frustrate him to death. Avoid those blimming green hands and spinning piledrivers like the plague. Pretty satisfying to win there.

[Stormtec]

I am told that non-EX greenhands are punishable on block or hit because you actually recover slightly quicker than they do. What does anyone else think?

This is probably the best C.Viper play I've seen so far:

A couple of great techniques in that video - using Burning Kick right after a medium Seismic Hammer for one, and jump-cancelling over fireballs with light Burning Kicks. I'll definitely be remembering those.

Wow. I'd heard that green hand didn't have that many active frames, but 2?? And lookit that recovery. So, if I'm reading this correctly, a light green hand consists of 34 frames, and only 2 of those frames will actually hit anything

I think that's a Seismo, superjump cancel, ground flamekick, actually. Pretty difficult to pull off XD
