*snicker* I'm sorry, I just found it incredibly funny to read. Read that as "eat Zangief's FAB ultra"? What is that? The latest laundry detergent? Also, I'll try to get in my 1st online match tomorrow. Work keeping me away from playing these days.

Well, I've just had my 1st proper beatdown by mikelee and JuzJoe. I guess I'm all rusty from not playing regularly. I'll try getting in more gametime over the coming days. Good game guys!

Those converters don't work particularly well with PS1 digital controllers. There's some response issue and quite a huge deadzone even when you've pushed the stick all the way. My stick is still fine btw. It's an Interact Arcaderex. I think even the Psycho Pad is an Interact product.

Darn lag issues. When I'm not tied up with work, I have to deal with the unreliability of my connection. I couldn't get into any matches for 2 days straight, and when I do lag kills the game. Hope this can get solved soon before I start getting sick of trying online SFIV.

I see that Streamyx is crapping up everyone's game too. Guess I'm not that only one then.

Eww, Ken and Ryu looks far too happy to imitate Dan. And what's up with Bison lighting up while putting on that face!? Hahahaha *snort*

You too huh? I still have to be thankful that this isn't my 360 version's savegame, because that's the one with a lot of completed challenges and victory tally. Lucky I've not burned out myself playing SFIV PC, otherwise I would seriously consider quitting altogether because of this corrupted savefile thing.

On another note, I played a string of ranked matches yesterday. After a decidedly close win, the other guy sent me a message saying "lucky f***noob". So if I lose I just suck, if I win I got lucky? Some people just can't accept a loss...

Well, there IS a wiki for Street Fighter. For general info on the SF universe, you can check out the Street Fighter wiki at http://streetfighter.wikia.com/wiki/Street_Fighter_Wiki or the Shoryuken entry for SFIV at http://shoryuken.com/wiki/index.php/Street_Fighter_IV

Not too sure how to teach Guile's ultra. I never had any difficulty doing the motion since the SSF2T days. I guess if there's any trick to it, is to familiarize yourself where the corners of the gate are. It might sound like crap advice, but that's how I got down the timing. No more of accidentally pressing forward intead of down-forward.

As for Zangief's ultra, it's two 360 degree movements in a row. I normally do the ultra by jumping in towards an opponent (sounds difficult, I know), start doing the 720 degree motion as you land, then hit 3 punches. Another method is to do an FA, dash forward after the hit connects, then input the command as Zangief completes the dash. My Zangief win is kinda iffy against forumers here, but you can't say I won't get in at least a super or ultra in the match.
