While playing around in the Challenge mode last night practicing with Guy I got stuck on one of the trails that has you canceling into a Super at the end of the combo.  I spent about 40 min. on this before I began bludgeoning my face on my Fightstick (I had to stop this for fear of ramming the stick into my eye socket).  Looking at a Younoob video of the trails that also has a separate camera on the stick of the guy performing the combo I came to the realization that I will NEVER be able to consistently pull this off.  His fingers move at a speed and fluency I could never hope to achieve.  (This brings me to my theory of if you can't play a rhythm game you can't be awesome at fighting games.)  
 
So I then, just for kicks, turn on the turbo keys and BAM, I nail it.  Messing around with it I notice that I finally look like some of those amazing players I run into online who kick my ass with impossible timing combos.  Now, I've always considered Turbo buttons and modes to be a cheat and I never intend to use this online due that fact but how many of you actually use Turbo? I know that some combos are impossible with Turbo enable so it isn't good for some characters but enabling it for a LK or LP seems like a safe bet for someone who does use Turbo.  So, who uses Turbo?

I won't lie, I turbo some of my inputs for the character trials, like Gen for instance. Without turbo I could not do some of those insane hand combos. I just am not good enough.

Hell no.  Turbo mode is for chumps.

oh yeah when doing the character trials i won't think twice about using turbo. But thats it I won't use during matches the teh lame. Fought a Bison using turbo earlier today. It was funny watching the replay after the match and seeing light kicks flying up the screen like crazy.

I use turbo during the trials a lot.

If its a combo thats just retarded, like canceling  EX moves after throwing an EX fireball into ultra. Im not even going to attempt that. Its not practical either.

I've been wondering since 1995. What the fuck does Turbo actually do? I remember back in the mid 90's all the 3rd party PSX and N 64 controllers had turbo, and when you hit it it would pause and unpause the game really fast over and over and over.

Wow, there's turbo in fightsticks?  So is it fair to blame "turbo" if I lose a match against an opponent who is a beast with links and combos? Hehehe!  I can just say, "He's probably using turbo" just to feel good about my loss haha! 
 
Or I can just accept that I just suck at Street Fighter lol! :)

Turbo is a feature that some controllers have that allow you to enable multiple button presses at different speeds without having to actually press the button.  For example, most character is SSFIV have LK and LP that can be spamed that will knock people out of certain moves.  I've seen a LP know a Ryu out of a hurricane kick if done at the right moment.  If you in able Turbo and press the LP then you will spam LP at a speed that most people can't achieve on their own.  It also negates timing and frame issues sometimes.  Can't get that MP to land after two LP due to frame data?  Enable turbo for MP and hold it down after the two LP and chances are it will connect simply because of how fast the button is being spamed.

That last part is false for the most part. Those links you mention are typically 1-2 frame links, turbo will not help you in that situation. The timing is far too precise for turbo to work. Chaining lp and lk works effectively, because you have like 4+ frames for those (shotos at least). "

What does turbo do?  I just got my TE stick and I saw the button but I didn't know what it meant.

Whatever lets you sleep at night, lol.  I have to turn off my mic sometimes when I lose because the filth spewing from my mouth would make a sailor blush.  I admit, I'm a VERY sore loser!  And sucking at the game doesn't help. "

Turbo doesn't make many combos easier because a lot of them have small windows where you can combo off them. Turbo is hit and miss and will miss the window just as much as you will trying to do them without the use of it.
 
Turbo actually causes more trouble, I never use it because it doesn't remove the need for timing. Turbo doesn't equal free links at all.  I can do one of Dudleys 1 frame links consistently now so just practice normally and you will get there.

I'm not trying to be a dick but EX cancelling is VERY practical and is used constantly in high level play.  Unless you mean shit like Ryus corner EX hurricane kick into EX uppercut then focus cancelled into ultra, that isn't very practical due to the amount of meter it takes. (the hurricane kick followed by ultra is practical, wasting 3 bars on EX uppercut and cancel is not) "

After further investigation: I used my Turbo button to get through the stupid c.lp c.lp c.lp c.lk part of honda's super combo in the trial with great accuracy and speed. Also crouching medium kick EX slappin a fool.

Never even considered using the turbo buttons during Trial.  I think I'm going to have to give that a whirl.

I dont see any reason for it, in regards to how the trials are setup.  ex moves, then ex cancels to ultra. its just not practical, and it  does less damage because of scaling.

If you're going to cancel an ex fireball or shoryuken, fine. But what they have in the trials is way overkill

I often find its better to build your super meter. I used to waste it a lot now I try to hang onto it and use the super if possible. They usually do a nice bit of damage

" I won't lie, I turbo some of my inputs for the character trials, like Gen for instance. Without turbo I could not do some of those insane hand combos. I just am not good enough. "

I'm like everyone else here, I use Turbo during the Trails, but never in a match unless we are screwing around.

I don't use it.

" I won't lie, I turbo some of my inputs for the character trials, like Gen for instance. Without turbo I could not do some of those insane hand combos. I just am not good enough. "

turbo is primarily a feature for schmups or any game that requires rapid repeated pressing of a button. with turbo you can just hold down the button, and it reduces the wear and tear of the button. 
 
I turbo trials when necessary, but no turbo for anything else. it hurts you more than it helps.

I use turbo on retarded trials that require 1 frame links in the middle of some long ass combo.
