I am a 2700 BP Sagat player. I have the most trouble against Blanka, Balrog and Bison!!! Damn you Dimingo and your Bison head stomps hahahaha.

I agree, I like MVC2 better than this, but it's new and will be the popular game in tournaments for the forseeable future, so I'm rolling with it. I do like it, but the graphics have made the game way different in some ways. Sometimes I have to unlearn 15 or so years of SF convention. And some of the hitbox properties are ass, they need training with visible hitboxes like HDR.
@Domingo: I got caught with that a ton, trying precise punishes got me killed more times than I care to remember.
How many PS3 players are in serious need of a stick? I can understand the 360 players, but we've had SF games on the Sony systems dating back to Alpha 1 in 1995. I've been using their controller for 14 years, so I've never thought of it as a big deal.
The only supers/ultras I've really had trouble with are Bison's (the teleport command tends to come out) and Abel's (I get that damned EX air grab showing up instead).
I've all but dropped Zangief unless the other person is playing him, too. I'll be a fan forever, but he's just too much of a trainwreck in this one. He can embarass 1/2 the cast just doing the lariat over and over. I'm pretty much swapped over to Bison and only play 'Gief against friends.
I had mvsc2 for the longest time and finally sold it a month or so before reserving my SFIV CE, broke even and then some lol. It was hard for me especially because I think we're all used to the vs style combo system that isn't really the same with the traditional SF series. I'm still hoping for mvsc3 someday.
Someday they will release it, and there will be much rejoicing (yay)
Chun Li's leg's look tasty and Cammy is proof that a small tight ass is just as good as a heart shaped wonder bottom. For me its a pleasant change of pace from Soul caliber 4's silicon enhanced female warriors.OK, question not related to tactics, what's up with Chun-Li's legs? Either leg implants or she does 1000 squats a day...freakish. And Cammy seems to be going for the "tie + thong" look that never caught on.
Playing Crimson Viper, I can say I can do "ok" with the ps3 pad, but her combo's and set ups really benefit from using a joystick.

2) I've got the Hori EX2 stick for the 360. I do much better on this than the joypad, so I don't care about the crap people talk about it. It suits me fine. I can get out Bison's ultras with ease. But since I use ex headstomp so often, I rarely have a full bar to use the super on. When you talked about following a jumping double medium punch, and then following with a super/ultra, how exactly does this work? I didn't actually play around with that double medium jumping punch until last night. Does the punch actually land twice in the air and then knocks down the player?
I'm not 100% sure about this, but I *think* if someone is wide open when being thrown, they can't get out of it. I know I've pretty much never seen anyone escape one from behind or while frozen after a fireball. I've never managed to get out of one either, no matter how quickly I mash that escape.
here's a tip: If Bison is headstomp spamming, step back.. then punish.
I have had very few problems playing Bison with Viper. Balrog is pretty easy too once you know how they play like, low pokes, low smash, headbutts etc.
For those of you considering an ebay fightstick, I just picked up a second one, this time for the ps3. It's one of the generic $50 ones that you can find off of ebay ($60 buy it now price).
My 360 joystick is the Hori EX2, considered by many to be an inferior joystick to the many $150+ versions. I don't mind either of these joysticks because 1) they only cost me $50 and 2) they get the job done for me MUCH better than the joystick for me and 3) definitely gives me an advantage over the competition.
The one thing that is annoying about the ps3 generic version is that there is no preset arcade configuration for it. If you ever are in a situation where you have to change it around, hopefully you have it memorized. Each of the buttons are numbered from 1-8 rather than the X, O, R1, R2, etc. of the ps3 joypad. Once you get it setup though, it's definitely not bad.
I don't understand why I can get generic ps3 joysticks now for $50 while there is currently no joystick under $100 for the 360. I'm lucky that I got my Hori before sf4 came out.
