What do you guys do when you get in a SFIV rut? I had a couple of really bad online sessions the other day and was getting extremely aggravated. I has getting hit by random wake-up ultras, getting shoryued out of block strings, and just basically getting hit with new-player tactics more often than I should have been, due to being really agitated and doing stupid things. (Ken has Ultra and no life left, I think I'll full screen dash punch! So mad at myself!)
I know we have all had days like this, but how do you guys remedy it? I just stopped playing online and started practicing combos for a couple of days.
Street Fighter IV
Game » consists of 9 releases. Released Jul 18, 2008
After nearly a decade in hiatus, Capcom's signature mainline fighting game series resurfaces with its fourth main installment, combining the traditional 2D gameplay with modern fully-3D graphics.
What do you guys do?
Street Fighter generally pisses me off when i cannot even complete Arcade mode on Medium against the CPU. Whenever i play against actual people online i don't get like this even.
I usually swear a lot and turn off the game.
I slam my controller against my knee and then get at it again. The microphone holes on my 360 controller actually made quite a deep cut in my leg which actually gave me problems with running for a few days >_>
I don't think it's a good thing to do really, but if I stop playing the game for that session I probably won't get onto it again for days.
I punch the carpeted floor until my knuckles get red...then I play a different game for a couple of days until I miss playing SF4 again hehehe!

"whenever i lose like 4 or 5 straight i just take a break. getting frustrated isnt going to help you, and t he only thing that seems to help is to walk away for a bit

pick chun li, hit medium punch and hold forwward the entire time.
the ai is really stupid.... I sit in arcade mode in between matches and thats all i end up doing
" If I do Championship Mode and start getting really pissed off, I go to Ranked Matches and eat some noobs to calm down a little. SFIV pisses me off a lot, but I can't stop playing it because it's so much fun. "
I tend to do this, or player matches... just to mix it up.. But it never fails... every time I go to ranked matches , i PWN... (not that im awesome, but it clearly seems like the good players play "player or champ" modes)
I hate ranked mode. No matter how much you condition someone NOT to do wakeup ultras/srks they just do it anyway(disregarding the fact they lost 9/10 of their life because of it), and i always think "they cant be THAT stupid.... time to go in for the kill"
then I eat an ultra.

"HAHAHA!! OMG, That happens to me TOO often!! I tell myself, "No way they're gonna wake up ULTRA. I just punished every single one of there SRKs" *ULTRA'D* lol. UGH!!

"LOL! That sounds exactly like my experience sometimes. I swear I feel like I am mixing up my opponent well and they will just do something so outright ridiculous, like launch a full screen ultra, and I'll be dashing in to close the gap and I'll eat the ultra. It drives me crazy.
If I get in a rut or find myself getting easily beaten by BS, then I stop playing. I can tell when I'm not 100% because I'll let someone walk up and throw me, or I'll start jumping too much.
i take a break for a while..... just took a 2 week break and started back playing today....instead of raging at all the mashing kens i just chuckled......
I rage until I get one win, then pop in rockband and play some metal on expert drums since that gives the most bashing.
I stop playing for a couple of weeks.
Then when a friend of mine whips out SF4, (and usually humiliates me normally btw) and i beat his ass in straight sets.
I'm weird like that.
" I usualy try and learn a new character. Right now I'm bored and annoyed so I am starting to try out Gouken. "How is that going? I'm actually doing the same thing except I can't decide who I want to use. I might work on my Rufus or try and improve my Akuma.

If you want to play sometime while you're learning your new characters just message me. I'm almost always up for playing.
I totally forgot I play Gouken....
*runs to SF4*
" @Scooper: I'm sure the window there is massively lenient. Just dial in the HP and the dash pal right after, don't wait for any cues. I totally forgot I play Gouken.... *runs to SF4* "I can do it but I most of the time but sometimes I have trouble with things like crossup MK, s.HP - EX Palm. I think it's because of the way I've been playing with a pad and I have trouble canceling a HP (LB on pad) into a move. I just need to keep practicing until I'm comfortable with doing it more.
The only correct answer is: Take a 6 month break from the game, and come back 3 weeks before super comes out to knock the rust off. During that 6 months, be sure to play completely random crap, Including C&C generals, Borderlands, Forza, WoW, Rock Band, and more....
Or! just take a day or so off and come back to it. A day wasn't enough for me. FU champ mode.

Sure. I'll probably be on tomorrow if you want to play. I have a weird work schedule, so I am often off during the week as often as I am the weekends.
Take a walk when it's late, and pick apart things in your game that are unnecessary. It's pretty therapeutic as well.
