« 1UP.COM GAME NIGHT WITH SUPER STREET FIGHTER 4 »
haunts
1UP.com will host a Game Night featuring Super Street Fighter 4 on Tuesday, March 30th at 5PM PST. Those of you who checked out the Game Night for the original Street Fighter 4 last year, this is pretty much the same deal. Richard Li, Seth Killian, MAGUS1234, A_Rival and myself will be playing the game over a live internet broadcast, and answering questions from the community on the show as well.
So, this is your chance to not only see how seasoned players will approach many of the new characters, but also have some of your questions about the game answered directly! Obviously, with so many players anticipating this game, we can't answer every last question, so if you're going to submit one, make sure it's a good one!
Sending in a question for the show is pretty easy, just submit one through the comments section of this post and I will send those questions over to Richard Li of 1UP. We will look over all the questions before the show try our best to answer the most relevant and interesting ones through out the session.
A link to the live stream will be posted right here on iPlayWinner next week, so stay tuned!

i don't know if this has been confirmed already, but i'd like to ask if everyone's (across the board) focus attacks, and dash recovery faster?
I'd like to know what are some of Juri's powerful combos during her Ultra 1 state. And whats the deal with Sagat's 2nd ultra favor him for?
Can you see if Guys Bushin combo (LP, MP, HP, HK) is cancelable into his 1st ultra?
So like.. LP, MP, HP, HK, FADC, Ultra 1... I really hope he can do this from anywhere on screen! or at all atleast!
I'd really appreciate it!
I didnt have time to revise my last post.
I was thinking in a recent video it seems that Makoto's karakusa got beaten by a grab from Dee Jay. Can grabs beat her karakusa?
Do you feel like there are more viable characters now? Do more characters have reasonable options into ultra to even out the playing field? Can you confirm that uppercut xx Ultra on trade no longer works (Ryu and Sagat)?
I wanna go!!
i heard ibuki Basis COMBO D + hk, N + hk was cut, why?
I would like to know if Fei's ultra 1 and Guile's ultra 1 have been improved and if so - how, because they're pretty much worthless.
Any changes from Fei Long, Bison (Dic), Vega (Claw), Guile and Gen would be nice.
And also, what's the purpose for Guile's sunglasses when he puts it on, and Sagat's angry scar?
Thanks.
Wanna know simply, does SRK FADC ultra 1 for Ken always give full animation?
I've heard from alot of sources that boxers dirty bull ultra is useless. My question is are there any good uses for it and what are some set ups for it (like for instance turn punch cancel into dirty bull).
You already know what it is, any info you can give me on Bison a.k.a. BOOTS will be greatly appreciated. One thing specifically is I heard a rumor that all versions of his Medium Kick were getting a damage boost. Any validity to that?
Just want to know who of the new characters are actually easiest to pick up and play and who are the more difficult.
YES! i was going to make a post on the forums asking if this was gonna happen. :p magus' blanka helped me decide who to main last year lol, looking forward to it
Hey guys. Could you PLEASE confirm if Vega's Bloody High Claw hits on the way up now? You'll have to do it as a cross-up bloody high claw, and make sure Vega touches his opponent.
What is the bonus people get for keeping their SFIV discs?
what is the input motion of claws second ultra and can it connect after df.hk (his slide)? thanks :)
I wanna ask Seth whether Capcom have decided to release SSF4 to arcade.
If yes, what's the timeframe? If no, then it's really sad.
Reason is that japan has the highest level of play and if there is no SSF4 arcade, we will not have the best competition.
Also we all love the awesome game video footage from japanese players.
1. Has the game been speed up?
2. Is the netcode improved?
3. Did capcom make Dudley that powerfull on/with purpose?
4. What is the reason behind 1050 hp/stun for Dudley?
(and because he's a rushdown isn't a great awnser because Makoto is a rushdown and will probably have a harder time then Dudley getting in)
5. How much will the full ssf4 alternate costume pack cost and will it be released as soon as the game is released?
What measures were taken to ensure the game is more aggresive?
I would like to know balrog's progress. What has he gained and what has he lost?
Would it be possible to list some of the buffs the lower-tiered characters got? Thinking of Fuerte, Rose, Fei Long, Vega, Guile, etc.
Based on your experience with them so far, how would you rank the 10 new characters?
Thanks!
I like to know since ssf4 is being released in the US and japan at the same time, will this be top priority from here on out?
Please demo viper's combo into ultra 2.
please let Seth comment on Dudley's strength.
Please show us some cool combo from juri's custom ultra.
thank you!
Looks like playing around with low tier characters is a fairly common want! Asking about changes to ultra 1s would be good too with every one getting all crazy over the 2nd ultras, of if any of them have even been tweaked. Good shit tho wish I knew about this last year haha and please tell me this is going to be recorded
Does claw have invincibility frames on any moves? There are conflicting reports about his bloody high claw ultra.
Have there been any changes in bison's game play besides the his 2nd ultra? If so, what?
As much info as possible on Guy, Adon & Cody would be nice. Best combos and Ultra setups they have.
Is Vega Roll faster so you can actually combo MP/HP version? Did he get an real reversal scarlett terror like he had in previous games at least EX? Does Vega's U1 really hit on the way up? Is his U2 comboable after his df+HK?
Does Rose's reflect have more active frames? Did they fix Ex soul spiral to be an real reversal?
What are some of the improvements Guile, Fei Long, Cammy, Gen characters got this time around?
For Guile: faster/better priority on his pokes & and normal flash kick for reversal?
For Fei Long: faster/landable tenshin grab this time around & better U1?
For Cammy: better cannon drill & U1?
For Gen: chains and does he even have a reversal now?
I would also like to know if they made dudley overpowered on purpose? Giving him crouching roundhouse into ultra seems like a really retarded decision. Also lp shoryu into U2 without having to focus cancel but not as much as having the option of landing an ultra off a simple sweep.
I only got one question : do absorbing fireballs with lp soul reflect will power-up rose's soul satellite ? I checked every video available but it seems no one tried this.
Can't we expect guile's flash kick to hit a little wider ?
Talk about Dan's possible Ultra II setups.
Koryuken xx Legendary Taunt xx Haoh Gadouken
cr.MK xx Gadouken xx Legendary Taunt xx Haoh Gadouken
Koryuken FADC Haoh Gadouken
Meaty/Late/Spaced LK.Danku > Haoh Gadouken in the corner. Try j.HK > s.MP xx LK.Danku > Haoh Gadouken.
SO giant bomb just confirmed vega ultra 1 does hit on the way up!
and his claw and glove can come off at the same time >_> idk, just saw it.
and people are saying Vega is the new Ken.. haha
and guiles shades stay on through rounds :D
Since DeeJay Ex sooba kick doesnt crumple anymore will there be another way to combo into his 1st ultra because it obvious his 1st ultra does a lot of damage and is safe on block because of his super sized max out
Now seth be honest how close was elena's inclusion into ssf4 ...because ono has his favorites r.mika and rolento... if you wont answer that answer this y has all sagats and cammy DP moves do 110 damage for light strong and fierce
Finally, it will be nice to see some decent players playing rather than the typical jump in and sweep journalists.
I've heard Ryu cannot have both a Fireball and his super onscreen at the same time now. Can Guile have a Sonic Boom and a Sonic Hurricane onscreen at the same time? Or how about Sagat, can he have a Tiger Shot on screen, FADC it, then dash forward and do a Tiger Cannon ultra while the Tiger Shot is on screen?
What changes have been made to Abel, other than his new ultra? How does the new ultra change his overall strategy?
I would also add About Abel is his roll better? did any of his attacks get nerfed in damage and how did his faliing sky get better or did it stay the same?
Rose: HP. Reflect>FADC>Throw, I've never seen it yet and they were trying to do it on giant bomb but couldn't make it happen. Also how good is Ultra 2? Can it cross up and make strong combos, i.e. orb, fierce, orb, fierce, spiral or something. Thanks.
I'd just like two things to be confirmed:
1. Are character themes an option in versus (as oppose to having only stage music)?
2. Are all the endings animated?
Thanks :)
Haunts, please take some time while the camera is rolling to dust off your old Makoto skills and show us some good Mak gameplay! :D
Also if you get the chance please go through what exactly the supposed improvements to the online play's search function are. I live in the middle of nowhere so when I search or use fight request I want to be able to restrict either based on connection strength or what country the other dudes are in.
Would you guys please test out also Angry Scar. Alioune said something about it acting kind of like a super cancel for Standing Round House and combo after a regular TU into another Uppercut.
ALSO, Seeing as how Juri can counter and hit afterward with any move she can throw out... is it possible to a get a free Ultra 1 and 2 from her counter special on opponents?
Can you please show us with Ken what happens in Super when he SRK FADCs into Ultra 1. Would be really appreciated.
1. Is Guy's throw ultra jumpable on reaction?
2. Is Ibuki's throw ultra jumpable on reaction?
3. Does Guy's crouch fierce force stand on hit?
4. Ibuki's HCB+p now seems to grab out of the air on juggle, does her throw ultra have the same property?
Cool we have Abel love :)is his ultra 2 blockable because the previous vids show that it seems to be unbloackable? and if so do we have to block low or what?
Haunts,
Will the event be recorded?
I'm also wondering about Dee Jay, can U1 combo from machinegun upper? Does it need a fully mashed follow up for juggle state? Thanks man!!
@Monstergogo
There's a section in options to turn on 'arranged music' or something like that which will make the stage music the theme of 2p in versus
I saw something with rose on the giant bomb screen that had me wondering. With U2 out what happens if you hp.soul throw to go over the opponent standing? Will they hit the back? It just looked a little glitchy when it happened. idk what I'm going for here haha
Can you tell me any noticeable changes you found with Gouken?
For example, can he combo from Crouching LK or Crouching MP into Fireball? Does he have any new links (such as LP or LK => MP or HP)? Also can you notice any difference with the Tatsu? Does the Tatsu hit crouching characters? Does the Tatsu still whiff some of the hits if not done properly?
Also can you talk about the properties and some combo possibilities with his Denjin Ultra?
Sorry for so many questions. Hopefully you can answer a few of them.
Thanks!
Do both hits of Abel's crouching fierce work properly now vs. El Fuerte (and i think Ryu and Ken)?
@ Shway
Thanks for the heads up, one of the last chunks of info that came out put the arranged music option in doubt, so I was a little worried.
I checked out the giant bomb stream you mentioned and they said that apparently the trick is you have to beat the game once and that unlocks the option for the character music.
So that's cool :)
<B>PLEASE, AS A AVID GEN PLAYER, SOMEBODY TEST TO SEE IF MK HANDS IS REALLY CUT. KENO ORIGNALY SAID IF ANYBODY USES THE SLIDE METHOD IT WONT WORK, I PIANO, I DONT KNOW IF MR. WIZARD OR HIS PEOPLES SLID OR PIANO'D. ALSO, SETH SAID IN AN INTERVIEW ADDRESSING THIS, THAT MR. WIZARD WAS THERE WHEN HE PICKED GEN, AND THAT HE(MR. WIZARD) MAY NOT HAVE KNOWN THE FRAME WINDOW TO PERFORM IT. THANKS SO MUCH. CANT WAIT TO PLAY, IS SETH GONNA GONNA BE AT EVO?
