    i just played fifteen matches straight and lost all but one round.  
     
    i played one guy who had infinite super and all the rest had atleast 3000 bp and then thers me with a  250bp. 
     
    my point being i love playing this game but i just cant find an envioroment to play, online i wayy to hard and if i play the ai i miss out on about 3/4 of what makes this game great.  i'm proberly ganna get ssf4 anyway but still...whats a newbie to do?

    that's normal, just practice and keep playing despite the losses. i suck playing sf4 in online too and i've thrown the controller quite a few times already, good thing it's not yet broken hehehe! but yeah, it's a challenge, and it's really cool when you're starting to be at a competitive level with the good players online. :)

    yeah, Akuma can throw red 3 hit fireballs with a different input, his EX fireballs are yellow/blue I think and hit 2 times, not 3. 
     
     
    Edit: also, the game just takes looooots of practice.  Learn from your losses, and hopefully they'll make you better!

    oh well i know now i suppose, i just really threw me of my game cos i played an akuma yestreday and he didnt throw one of those things he just did those diaganal firebalss and floated around every where and got his as thrown down to the floor ( yeah i actually won a match). 
     
    anyway i seem to be having more sucsess with champ mode, since i started i'm already at g3-b and usually manage to get through to the finals or semis at least. is ranked generally poplulated by people who are actually good or is it i'm just having a bad day. 
     
    if any one in the uk is struggling id love to play some player matches with some peeps because two rounds is just enought to get my arse handed and not enough to figure out my opponents game.

    mainly champ mode matches you a little better with people of similar skill.  Theres still a disparity, but the difference in skill levels in a G3 matchup isn't as bad as there is in any given ranked match, generally.

    I stopped playing this game online altogether.  It was way, way too stressful.  Now I just bring it over to my friends house and destroy him repeatedly with every character, then mock him and question his masculinity whenever he loses, which is always.

    she is pretty fun!  I like her rushdown style.  I hate her lack of a good cross up, her mediocre pokes, not being able to deal effectively with /downback, and the difficulty I have landing her FADC ultra.  Overall though, she's a good fit for my playstyle.  I hope they make some good minor tweaks in super.  :)

    But as for getting better, 80% of the top players on giantbomb were complete scrubs when SF4 came out it takes alot of hard work and practice to get better. Just keep playing.

    Dude, I know the feeling.  I don't know why, but today I just could not win a match to save my life.  Falling for shit that I never do, getting SRK-FADC-Ultra'd by Ryu over and over again.  Some days ya got it, some days ya don't.

    i had like 5 rage quitters on me in a row today.
     
    i had to stop playing, they were all during the first match. i eventually got beat and i was the one who lost points despite winning 5 straight.
    this is why im starting to hate champ mode, because the loss of points makes shitty players rage quit so they can stay in g1

    @Necrotrophic: haha it is only 5 points, you have to suck large gonads to lose enough to get kicked out of g1! I played a dude with 14,600 the other day, and you are right, he had a 6% disconnect rate.

    I know lol, I lost a bunch of matches when I first got into G1 but seriously, if you win 1 match then go on to loose the second  you've made up the points from loosing twice on the first round. How shitty do you have to be to get scores that low. Just win 3 games in a row and you get like 50 points. Win a championship once and you've made as many points as you'd loose if you fucked up 30 matches in a row.

    Haha, yeah I was confused when I would see people with less than 15,000 points in G1.  I was like, WTF!?  How are they in here?  I'm currently at 20,000 and I know I'm not a great player, but I have never fallen below the 15,000 mark.  How can someone at G1 lose that much!!?

    @mnzy: I gave up a little while ago on gaining points in champ mode. I still play it but only if there isn't anyone on my friends list or I repeatedly face noobs in player matches.
     
    It's still a good mode for finding players to play against though. For every 50 or so mashers there's always at least one good player in there (at least in my experience), and then I just add them as friends and we play some more :)

    Apparently a lot of people have gotten booted from G1 on the SRK forums.
     
    I played a ken that mashed an ultra when I was a full screen away. He had like 14 something. He had a nice d/c rate, i imagine its going to go up.
