Who would you guys think is the best charge character or characters with loads of priority?

From what I have seen Balrog with a talented player is fucking killer, I was killing this dude and all of a sudden he got one combo and his ultra off, my entire health bar was gone in less than 4 to 5 seconds.

Other than that Guille and Sagat seem to have killer priority, especially Sagat, he is so much taller that it makes a lot of his attacks a little bit better.

Charge characters for me seem like the hardest to use with regular controller, maybe I have just forgotten how to play them like in the old days, regardless this is a exciting topic to me.

Sagat...charge? Que?

Anyway, aside from Balrog, Bison is a monster in this one. You could win a match with his normals alone (MK, HK), and his stomp has more priority than ever now; it can even be used as an anti-air. Guile is usually my go-to guy but I'm not a fan of him in IV. The same Guile tricks as usual seem to apply, but his flash kick seems sadly nerfed and I'm not much of a fan of his super or ultra.

Sagat isn't a charge character... at all.

Balrog. Honestly, I've said it before, we should be thankful everyone plays Ryu and Ken and not Balrog. He is a monster.

Balrog' punches actually don't have much priority; he's FN deadly cause a good player can rush real good and he does a butt load of damage.


As far as who has priority and is a charge character, Id say no one. a spinning lariet or well timed DP can beat most charge moves when they see it coming.

Play as Blanka and repeatedly tap that button.  Turtle them into a corner and never let them out of it.  You'll win...everytime.

Another vote for both Bison and Balrog. Balrog's rushing overhead alone can rip scrubby shoto players apart, and yeah, the headstomp is bananas. On another note: 

are you gonna take that shit from flushes jakob :P

I got absolutely demolished by a Balrog player today (and he put a cap on a four ranked match winning streak that I was hoping to continue for ONE MORE match to get the achievement T__T).  Seriously, I was staying elusive and pecking away with my Rekkas (I'm a Fei Long player all the way), but he just trashed me in two straight matches.
Personally, my favorite charge characters to play as are the hybrids like Honda and Chun Li.

I've never been able to get the hang of charge characters. I greatly admire people that can use them and use them well. Meanwhile I'll just stick with my Ryu/Sakura.

Balrog is the tallest character in the game(or close to it), you never have to jump with balrog really if you play him right.His height gives all his punches a little bit more reach, and at the power and speed he can deliver them, I would say his punches definitely hold priority just with the legnth and height they are delivered from, not to mention the power."

I haven't had a good history with charge characters, but I've recently took up Chun-li.  Still a work in progress, and not exactly my go-to when I'm trying to earn BP's...I stick with Cammy in ranked matches.  But yeah, I took out a n00b who thought he could continually back away into the corner and then come flying across the screen (with Balrog)....I cannon-spiked that all day.  I played an EXTREMELY good Vega player the other day...I beat him in the first round, but then the next two he just tossed me to the curb...probably getthing my hopes up with that first win, lol.

I never played with Balrog until recently when I was playing with a friend. Then it hit me, I have been using the wrong character this whole time...

I'd agree that Sagat is the best character in the game in the right hands, because he has massive reach and can whip out specials with lightning speed. Once again, I'm going to stop complaining about Ryu and Ken because it is so much better than people playing as good characters.

There is a difference between well timed/well placed move and priority. I'm sure we all have been demolished by rog players before that have all the zoning down to a science, but the fact is you can't just throw his moves around like Ken's DP and just hope the priority of the move out wins the opponent's.

Speaking of Honda, consider this excellent Honda drinking game: join the first quick player match you can, pick green Honda (not negotiable), and see how many times you can ochio throw the opponent. At the end of the two rounds, one drink is assigned per player per ochio going counterclockwise, excluding the person playing the game, and then the controller is passed. If you knock the guy down with an ochio, and then ochio him again on wakeup, the second throw counts double, and each ochio you can repeat on the downed man also counts for two drinks. If an ochio is used to finish a round, the person who would be assigned the drink for that throw must finish what they have in their hand. If, however, the person playing gets ochio thrown by another Honda, they must finish their drink and pass the controller to the next player. Repeat until nobody playing can perform an ochio throw.
