Just pick who you feel more comfortable with. Guile is bottom tier and does shit damage and I seem to do fine with him. ;) Just get good with whoever you end up picking and tiering would be the last thing you worry about, unless you're playing against a sagat who actually knows what they're doing. lol

Yes, I just played you at like 5am and when I wake up at 1pm, you're online again! lol!!

lol i leave my ps3 on most of the day

and damn i got owned last night by your guile badly

haha it wasnt that bad, your boxer had some pretty neat tricks too. I hate eating heatbutt > ultra. lol

Ah man, I need a stick soon. It's difficult to play on the X360 analog. Would you guys recommend the Hori EX2 or the SF4 SE stick? I'm probably going to upgrade the button and stick on them too.

if you're upgrading the buttons and stick I'd say just go with whatever's cheaper. :)

Okay, I settled on the EX2 since the SE went OOS again on Amazon, fuck, ahah. What upgrades would you guys recommend? Or should I wait for my EX2 first and play with it?

Just play with the EX2 for a while first, unless you're super anal about the buttons and such. that way when you upgrade later on you will feel the difference, that along is already a huge level up in your skill lvl. :D:D

play with it, like it for a while, hate it, replace buttons, like it again, replace joystick, love it!

i want a joystick now.

where can i buy one right now and what should i buy for the ps3

hey skholla do the sanwa buttons make that much of a difference?

I have the regular hrap3 and Im still trying to get used to the stick comming from pad

Thanks, I think I'll get the EX2 when I get a chance then. But damn, I've been playing as Blanka the past hour, and he's really hard to beat. I need to work on his special moves though, I can't seem to execute it correctly.

YES, for me the buttons made a huge difference, night and day for sure... and im not even a current arcade player, i cant remember the last time i was at an arcade but i used to spend all my money on games from the SF2 era to SFIII 3rd strike.

the standard HRAP buttons move around alot, they are kind of thick and bulky, also they are not very responsive, you have to really press on them hard when doing 3 button moves (ultras). i found that if it didnt or if i was not very precise with my finger tips then only 2 of the 3 buttons would register.

my next mod is going to be the joystick. i cant justify buying a new and stiffer stick to put inside my HRAP3 as i have spent enough on it already so i can going to mod it. im going to do a spring mod, that means doubling up on the springs that keep the joystick centered or using a single stiffer spring from a different joystick. this mod will give the stick a more controlled feeling so it wont feel as loose.

:)

I know someone who's trying to sell off his TE stick right now if you don't mind paying for the top tier stuff. :p

Jesus christ, I hate playing those fucking Ryu's that just keep jumping to the edge of the map and doing hadouken.

I love them. So predictable. EX hooligan throw, then spin arrow or grab.

Planning to pick up a new Hori fighting stick 3 for $80
Is this any good for SF4 on PS3? Not planning to spend more than $100 on a fight stick.

Any other suggestions?

where?

Seriously what stores sell these things?

after a while u get used to Dpad, you kinda want to leave the stick behind.

The bad thing is, you cant go to espot to own ppl

I've been using the analog stick on the X360 for the past couple of weeks. I think it'll be an easy transition to stick later on because I won 7 games in a row last night at CHQ.

anyone want to get few games going? add my psn Oshin_inc I'm usually on at night time.

Before I started Championship Mode, I thought I was good. Now I'm constantly frustrated.
