So I decided to man up and finish the C. Viper trials tonight, in my quest for these last few achievements I have left in SFIV. I knew it was going to be tough but, I had no idea the insanity that would ensue. In particular hard trial #3 and #5, gave me quite an annoyance, especially #5 (since the game randomly doesn't register the hard flame kick even though I'm doing it). Many lulz are to be had, at my expense of course -- since I recorded them with my camcorder. Enjoy!

 I was there when this happened so I already got them lulz. I never got my matches though. We should do them right now.

I gave up on C. Viper a while ago because I thought she was too technical, looks like I was right.

^^ True that, but when you play a really good Viper much respect to them.

Love your videos like this. I feel the same way doing Fei Long's Hard #3.

"Are you having any problems?"

" @OwnlyUzinWonHan:  Viper players live and die by tiny margins of execution. Combofiend was about 2 frames short of beating Justin Wong this year at evo, but missed the ultra link from an aerial burning kick. It's hard out there for a Viper! "

Haha love you're "LULZ" vids dude.

LMAO. This is way funnier than Street F*cker IV.
 
I guess I am a little baffled at why they made Rufus such a spam-easy character and 100 different ways to combo into his Ultra, but there seems to be an intense learning curve with Crimson Viper. Is it just her moveset and strange timing?

Ooh, that brings back memories of  agonizing over hard trials and I haven't even gone to the crazy ones like Viper yet.

I guess the same reason any of the characters have easy to land ultras and others are very difficult to hit, different for the sake of being different.  When you look at commonly used characters much of it revolves around relatively simple ways to combo and confirm into ultra.  Ryu, Sagat, Rufus, Balrog.  bleh, i am so burnt out on street fighter.  lol!
 
congrats Ultima!  I do not have the patience for even one or two of the hard trials.  :P

Oh my God. Are you sure that isn't super hard trials 1?

" @Scooper: You may be right, now all I have to do is do one Gen combo, I'm thinking of flying out SpecialBuddy so he can do if for me. Haha.  edit: also, if anyone wants to just get into player matches with me and lose on purpose so I can get super finishes, that would be cool. (seeing as I never use super w/ Akuma). I need like 25 finishes or so to get the super title, the only title I'm missing other than gen 5. "

" @Napalm: Well, it was worth a try! haha. "

Props on getting that far. I can't even clear any of the normal trials, but I'm going to blame that on the fact that I'm using the standard pad.

Fuck Hard Trials.  I'm very patient, especially when it comes to video games, but that's always because there's a certain sense of progression when you're patient.  In an RPG, grinding a lot requires patience but I'm good with that because I find it to be fun, rewarding in the end and I'm actually gaining EXP, items, etc. while I'm actually grinding.  Same can be said with almost anything else that requires patience in a video game.  But for the SF IV Trials, you'll be stuck in the same freaking room, with the same damn looping music, growing more and more insane every minute you're in there.  There's no sense of progression unless you finally, successfully get to a new string in a combo and there's no hint in what you're supposed to do.  The timing's often erratic and that does not help.  Fuck Hard Trials.

You sir got my lulz, congrats. Massive lulz indeed.

Yeah finished Gen's last trial, got the title and icon achievements, all that's left is one actual achievement now, beating it with everyone on medium (I was impatient and beat it on easiest with everyone just to unlock characters). I recorded me doing it but there wasn't much lulz going on, it didn't take me but like 15 tries or something.

The progression is more than shitty EXP points, its an actual skill your learning, for real and everything. "

Well that's a retarded comment, you could say while your fighting randoms, your not progressing one bit, as your not learning new combos. 
 If you can turn one mistake into them losing half their health, your're 'progressing'.

@lordofultima

" @FluxWaveZ: Although in viper's case, she definitely does fierce feint fierce, as well as super jump cancels. I'd say Akuma's trials are pretty similar to combos you'll be doing with him, despite having wacky normals scattered about in them. Balrog had the ex loop, etc.  Maybe all the combos aren't completely practical, but canceling into super from Gen's hands definitely is something that I understand the concept of now. "

LOL at "Are you having problems?" "No I'm not having problems" LOL. I think you might be having problems because watching this video made me think you are insane. But I yell at my TV too and lower trials so ha at me.

I'm never going to finish these trails..........

I can just imagine the "..wtf?" look your mom must have had.

This is why you should bring your mom to final round. She adds to the hilarity you create.
