I am not sure how you perform these inputs but here's something that I think may help.

There is this thing called 'riding the gate' which basically means performing circular actions on the stick by going through the input directions to the max allowable range. If you notice, even before touching the edge (the gate), you will hear the soft 'click' of the microswitch - that's the sound of your input being captured.

Try to NOT ride the gate (or too much) when doing these motions. Using Ryu, practice fireballs and try to find that perfect spot where you can safely do D, DF, F + P in "one smooth glide" with minimal force. For me, I bring the stick to D and touch the gate, then glide it so it doesn't fully touch the DF corner, then move it to F (touching the gate too).

I really don't micro-analyse my inputs, but I THINK I input Ryu's Ultra like this:

[ul]Direction / Touch Gate?[/ul]
Down / Yes
Down-Fwd / No
Fwd / No
Down / No
Down-Fwd / no
Fwd / Yes

Works for me, may not work for you. If you can perform a smooth FB, you can try doing it twice. Once you have his Ultra nailed 10/10 times in execution, you can just try to DASH, then input the Ultra command after the (Fwd, Fwd) motion.

Reasons why EX-SRK may come out:
• The way the engine records commands and 'shortcuts' (i.e. SRK = DF x2, Punch)
• After Dash, Ultra is inputted immediately. You can try to reset the stick to neutral first before doing Ultra
• And the most important one, PPP is not done together. For this, you can try turning the input log on in Training.

I think the decider move for many tight Abel matches is his normal/EX qcf.p > FADC > d.HP > Ultra. I was having problems linking the d.HP after coming out from FADC but applied a useful technique and got a very good success rate! The gurus here have already shared this technique so here you go!

Simply perform: d.HP (hold this button with middle finger, then QUICKLY piano your index finger to d.MP). If you notice in training, the first input will display as HP, then the second one as MP+HP. The game will accept the highest hierarchy input so the engine captures HP being inputted TWICE. Which means you have DOUBLE the chances of having that move to come out.

This is the hierarchy, LP < LK < MP < MK < HP < HK. Simply put, pressing all SIX buttons will result in HK coming out as it's the highest of the button order. Also, the engine will capture all button inputs too (useful for Gouki, because you can output his Demon with Fwd, Fwd, LP+LK+HP as a shortcut - THREE steps, instead of FIVE).

There's TONNES of other shortcuts in this game that makes almost-impossible execution possible. I'm 100% sure Phyurix knows this for Gen. If you're in his PPP stance and people jump, just do QCF+KKK twice to catch them in the air with your KKK-only Super/Ultra. Lucky cannot kara-cancel with all 6 punches and kicks, like Gouki

Now the cat has to be killed.

If it's Jap, then it should be Thwalloji! LOL

Just kidding

Actually it sounds Hebrew to me, because of the name Malachi (a Biblical prophet). I actually thought it was the name of some Warcraft hero of something, which goes to show my zero knowledge of the game.

P.S. HAPPY BIRTHDAY LIL NICKY!

Region A = only for Blu-ray movies.
Region 2 = UK and Australasia
Region 3 = Asia

There's no difference to online connectivity, but Region 3 = Region 1 in terms of coding of saved games and DLC. Meaning you can pop-in either 1 or 3 and the game will still recognize your files. I recommend to get either 3 or 2 if you just plan to play the game. DLC's available via UK/AU PSN, and so far it's only for the alternate costumes. The price is different from the Asian/US DLCs.

10 chars is possible, because 3D design is easier than drawing 2D sprites. I read that 3S design was a b**** due to the 60 fps framerate too, but the results were gorgeous as the animation was so fluid. From its evolution from New Gen to 2nd Impact, notice that they can afford at most 4 chars per installment.

Dual boxers would really rock hard. Time to bring Civil War to America! OMG I can't believe they are putting my favourite 3 chars from each SF3 episode!

I'm sure they will put proper balancing into the end product. Time to save your pennies!

P.S. Hatred why the heck is it so hard to reach you?
