First off I have been a sf2 fan since it was in arcades. On the ps3 version the supermoves, specials what ever you want to call them do not register all the time. I can do a hadoken/shoryuken on command everytime, the double hadoken to do the special never works when I need it to. It always does a shoryken, I pretty much have to button mash to get it to work. I have even practiced it in practice mode, same thing. Another thing the computer is so fucking cheap I want to smash my controller in to the tv. I never had the special move problem with sf3 alpha.

And you have the Ps3 version? I would have thought that would control pretty good. I got the 360 version and except for some of the ultra moves where you have to charge back then press forward back forward, It's playing pretty good. I may get a stick eventually but for now the pad is doing alright for me.

Is it a controller issue? I know the Dual Shock 3 gets a lot of praise, but I can never understand why as the buttons and dpad aren't nearly as reliable as they were on the Dual Shock 2.

I think you will get the hang of it soon. Or maybe you are just having an off day. I know every now and then, in SF2, I can't pull off shit for the strangest reasons, but once I give it a rest and go at it another time, I can do it with ease.

I dont know what it is, I have a dualshock 3 and the regular sixaxis. It controls fine except the super moves, I can do them but never exactly when I want to, and that what counts."

if your having trouble with what the timing is for combos in the challenge room.. check out the video here for fei long and click on the the related videos for other characters... 

I love Street Fighter IV so your opinion is woefully incorrect.

Odd... I'm executing everything almost perfectly (minus the occasional kkk or ppp).

Then again I'm using a HRAP3 so maybe it helps. I find the execution easier than HD Remix or 3S so I don't think its the game's issue.

As for AI... nothing that hard on normal... besides the last boss anyways... I hate last bosses.

I think its funny how some of you just assume I suck. Ive been playing online for the last 3hrs and have won 90% of the matches. My psn is superman5518 if some of you want to test the skills. Online is way more fun then sp, as the computer is so cheap!

There are minute differences between some of the characters special moves and super moves.

Just spend some more time in training until you can nail it down.

All I had to do with Ryu was change the timing a little bit to do the super move.

I bet half the people in this thread are making baseless assumptions!

I actually do find the d-pad fairly inaccurate. Let's say I put two fingers on the two horizontal buttons, you'll probably see me crouch and jump. It's not ideal at all, nor are the analog sticks. Kinda why I probably won't buy SF4.

Once you go Marvel VS Capcom, you don't go back.  MAKE A 3RD GAME ALREADY

Ok Im a dumbass. I couldnt do the supermoves because I was trying to do them before the gauges were all the way filled up like sf alpha 3. Anyway almost have all the characters unlocked just need 3 more.
