Yup i've changed to Octagonal, and im switching back to Square.
what character you use? i guess for alot of players..Square gate is always easier, unless the octagonal gate has smaller room.
then i guess it will be ok. but the one i used have a very big room, so precision is less.

you never know if you never try for yourself.. who knows you're meant to use octagonal ones?
ok ok..hmm how bout. Matching ( sounds even worst ) fighting ( sounds violence ) gaming ( uh..too general term )

i give up.. no shortcuts..

I'm using semitsu joystick and sanwa buttons..
very satisfy about the joystick..

i have a fren doing bulk for these buttons and sticks, and also DIY joystick as well..at a vrey good price

sanwa joystick too smooth already..
which i feel no secure..too loose..
then the semitsu is shorter, u can move quicker..
i would suggest u take semitsu for serious playing;)

does anyone know who is mofomaycry here?  A++ balrog serious shit

Haha bro, you know I too not give a d**n abt ranking, but I once lost from 780 points to 0 straight, only that time I was feeling unhappy for it.

posting for a friend,

he just bought SF4 for PC on my recommendation, but whenever he try to download profile ingame(GFWL ID already created, can sign in to the GFWL client itself), always timed out and says its cannot sign in or there is error with his networking equipment.

I checked his router and its upnp enabled and I forwarded necessary ports for him, but still can't sign in with SF4. So now he is just stuck playing offline and can't enjoy online gaming.

How ah? Anybody know a solution?

I feel bad cause I recommend him to buy the game.

He's on wired connection thats for sure. Checked tech support forums and follow all the instructions there, and still the same thing.

Well was praying don't have to reinstall windows again, but if no choice, i guess he have to do that.

So much trouble just to play SF4............

Did anyone face this problem before?

turtling against gief is not call turtling anymore.. its called Zoning, its how you supposed to fight against him.

not perfect crossups will result in eating lariats.
block strings will results in eating SPD or even Ultra.

he's using wired connection straight from the router, already mentioned he tried direct connection to modem, still same result.

Maybe I'll get him to try a different router
Yes he has the latest updates from GFWL, every time he starts SF4, it asks him to sign into GFWL and he does so cause he already created an account thru the GFWL client, it just won't download the profile for him and gives that error.

And yes, its an original CD-key used while installing............

I have no issues with my GFWL, but his is giving me headaches searching for a solution

yup played with you once.. i think everyone here needs to lose kau kau..because thats the best way to learn SFIV ...

i lost more than 300 matches from zangief 1.0 to 6.0
