FAQ'S

• Focus Attacks
  A Focus Attack (sometimes known as a Saving Attack) is done by pressing the Medium Punch and Medium Kick buttons at the same time. This combines both defense and offense in one powerful package.
  
  Your character will enter a special preparation pose, which will absorb one attack — which is usually referred to as having Super Armor — and then they'll unleash a move in retaliation.
  
  Your character can only absorb one attack, and only then if it's not a throw or armor breaking move. Two or more attacks will knock your character out of their Focus Attack.
  
  There are three levels of Focus Attacks depending on how long you hold down the buttons.
  
  Level 1: Simply tap the buttons or release after a split second. Your character will launch a weak attack.
  
  Level 2: Hold the buttons for about a second and you'll see your character flash. then release. This causes you to do a medium powered attack which will open up the other fighter for a combo if it lands.
  
  Level 3: Hold the buttons for about 2 ½ seconds. This causes you to flash yellow and the resulting attack is unblockable, you can also combo after this move if it lands.
  
  Absorbing a hit with a Focus Attack also builds Revenge Meter, used for executing an Ultra move.

• Throwing and Counter Throwing
  Throwing is done by pressing the Light Punch and Kick buttons at the same time when you're close to your opponent and holding back or towards. You can break your opponent's throw attempt by pressing the Light Punch and Kick buttons at the moment they try to throw you.

• Ultra Moves
  This is basically an enhanced super move, which you can execute by doing the same motion as your character's super move, but pressing all three punch or kick buttons instead of just one.
  
  You can only perform an Ultra move by building up your Revenge Meter so its over half-full, then the word "Ultra" will light up meaning you can execute one. You build up Revenge Meter by taking damage.
  
  Your Revenge Meter does not transfer over to the next round.

• Super Moves
  These are usually an enhanced special move. Most times they are executed by doing a double motion and pressing a punch or kick button.
  
  Your Super Bar is the Blue meter at the bottom of the screen. The word, "Super!" appears when you've fully charged it, and then you can perform your character's applicable Super move.

• EX Moves
  EX moves are executed by pressing two punch or two kick buttons after doing the respective motion for a move. For example to execute Ryu's EX Hadoken (Fireball) you would do the down, down-forward, forward motion and press the Light and Medium punch buttons. Some players find it easier to press all three buttons at one time to help ensure their EX moves come out.
  
  Doing an EX move takes away some of your Super meter.

• Dashing
  You can dash forwards or backwards by double tapping the joystick towards or away.

• Focus Attack Dash Canceling
  Sometimes referred to as a 'FADC' or a 'SADC'. After executing some special moves, you can Dash Cancel by pressing and holding the buttons for your Focus Attack and hitting forward twice and then releasing the Medium Punch and Kick buttons to cancel the animation to set up more hits in a combo.
  
  This also takes part of your Super meter to do.

• Getting up quickly after a knock down
  When you're being knocked down, you can get up quickly by tapping down on the joystick when you're just about to hit the ground. Your character will rise up faster than they normally would, but this doesn't work with throws and some other attacks.

• Super Armor and Armor Breaking
  Some EX-Moves and all Focus Attacks allow you to absorb one attack, this is often referred to as having Super Armor.
  
  But all of the characters have some moves that will negate this effect, and these are called Armor Breaking attacks.
  
  Also remember that while Super Armor allows you to absorb one attack, you can still be thrown.

• Taunting (Personal Action)
  You can taunt your opponent by pressing both Hard Punch and Kick buttons at the same time.

Tier List
The tier listing is a basic rating tool to determine which characters have the most potential. It's calculated based in each character fighting every other character 10 times being played by high-level players. All of the wins are added up and that determines the rating.

Everyone has advantages and disadvantages on many levels and this is an outline. Now this isn’t to be taken literally, it doesn’t mean that just because you use a higher tiered character you guaranteed a win or vice versa. It just gives you an idea of how powerful you CAN be with a character if you GOOD at the game and GREAT with said character. So you can see by far that Sagat has the most potential out of everyone, he’s Almighty around here.

Again this roster is WAY more balanced compared to SCIV or SFIII. In III, the highest rated character was Chun-Li at 123 (68%) and the lowest was Sean at 53 (30%)

• Sagat 98 (61% chance of winning)
  Ryu 88
  Zangief 86
  Balrog 84

I added the deatiled basics up top, since Muffy and Leezy are rookies.

Why in the hell does it have to be so complicated???

Is there any way to assign three punch or three kick moves to one button to where it counts as one attack. It is impossible for me to pull off ultras.

I reiterate - why does it have to be so complicated???

I just put that up, here I edited it if it wasn't clear before. Use these buttons for Ultra's.

X – LK+MK+HK
O – Medium Kick
Sq – LP+MP+HP
Tri – Medium Punch
R1 – Light Punch
R2 – Light Kick
L1- Throw
L2 – Focus Attack

What's so complicated Muff?? I put all the details and tips up clear as can be. There's two types of attacks (normal and EX) and two tpes of specials (Super and Ultra) BOOM. What re you having trouble with?

My girl brain just can't get it all. I still can't beat Seth.

Oh no your brains are DOPE Muff, why don't you give me a piece of your mind later on and we'll figure everything out baby.

He's THE toughest SF boss ever, even worst than Gill! It seems like your having trouble with the basics. Who do you use?

Blanca... Ken... or Guile usually

Quote :

Ken...

Can you do a fireball, dragon punch and hurricane kick consistantly and crisply?

ummm No

Quote :

You just made me literally LOL at work! You can't beat Seth if you don't know the basics!!!!

I cant do it!!!! And you're not online to help me!!! so shuddup!!!

Kudos to Tony

Got Gouken!

Got Gouken!

There's a good lad. My dude I've been waiting for Gouken since '93 before you were born!!
Akuma has been WAY overpowered since jump and now I finally have someone to see those Akuma spammers. Gouken plays just a tad different from the rest of the Shotos cause he's the master. Notice how dude throws hadoukens from THREE different angles with one hand! Not to mention if you notice his look slightly crisper, meaning he's perfected it!

Gouken's da shiznet.... fav perp.... glad to hear that lee was gonna send ya a note on psn but now see that i don't have ta.... late

How much has Leezy improved Gamer? When I played him on Remix, I was beating the boy so bad it was funny. If I was online, I'd hold classes for him and Muff to teach them how it's done.

<---- needs a class.... badly. I actually haven't played in a while cuz I got frustrated as hell.

Read my SF 101 thread. You have to pick two or three characters and learn them top to bottom. I an expert with Ryu, Ken and Balrog and about to be with Cammy. I'm good with Bison, Long and I'm feeling out Abel and Viper.

haven't played Gamer yet. He's usually on WH.
