I'm sure there have been times when you've joined a game, went to the char select screen, saw your opponent pick, and cursed at the damn game.
For me, I think it would have to be Guile. I don't know, something about that guy makes me play more cautiously than usual. A good Guile can play so many mind games with the sonic booms, and most are SO damn patient! I mean, in most cases they just sit at their corner and wait for me to attack! UGHH.
I've learned most of their patterns though, and their flash-kicks are pretty shit as air defense, but still....I don't like 'em :P.
Anyone have a worst match-up? (Sagat doesn't count btw, too easy of an answer :P)
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.
Your WORST match-up?
" Vega. Fighting Vega usually ends up in me flailing around trying to AA wall moves. God I hate that asshole. "Yeah I used to HATE fighting him, but now I just charge the mother fucker and pound him in the corner the whole match XD.

" I hate fighting a good M. Bison. Makes me want to cry. "I love playing with Bison >:D
"THIS PLACE SHALL BECOME YOUR GRAVE!!" muahahaha
Heh, seems like 90% of the responses are charge characters....I guess that makes sense. I'm ok with almost all of them, I know Blanka's tactics, Honda isn't too tough, Chun-li is predictable, Vega has a lot of disadvantages, and I know how to play with Balrog (Boxer) and M. Bison (Dictator).
That's just imo, though.
I can narrow it down to five maybe:
Balrog - Godmode.
Rufus - Constant rushdown frightens me.
Ryu - He's like a fortress.
Blanka - Fucking magician.
Honda - SO MUCH DAMAGE.
Even Akuma's worst match-ups are only 5-5 though, so I guess I shouldn't be complaining.
Guile is my worst matchup according to stats. I just dont play as well against guile as I do against others, its a mental block. My record vs 'rogs is much better. Also a particular type of Ryu turtle always gives me fits, Turtle/counter and if they know how to really FADC into the ultra (Red fireballs cancelled etc) I just want to set the controller down, you do one unsafe move and eat a 50-60% combo. I play alot of rushdown, and you just have to really know how to break those turtles with mixups. Of the charge characters Blanka is easiest for me, all of his rolls are unsafe against cammy except jab, and her B&B combos beat electricity, and i don't play too many really good ones.
BLANKA.. whenever I fight a good blanka I have to completely change up the way I play, it seems like everything he does is designed to avoid all of chun-li's moves.
also seth is a dick... a good seth that is...and if youre choosing seth chances are youre pretty good with him
"also seth is a dick... a good seth that is...and if youre choosing seth chances are youre pretty good with him "I've run into people who know how to use Seth's moves, but I wouldn't necessarily call them "good." They can still do a crapload of damage in a very short period of time, though.
it might just be that because you rarely run into him that I just cant get a handle on how to stop/counter most of his attacks.
I used to have the worst time with vega's and el fuertes but theyve become more common now and I dont mind fighting them now
As an E. Honda player I find my worst match ( besides Sagat :P) would be a Ryu. Not so much Ryu's who zone me out with Hadokens and Shoryukens, while they still get me sometimes I just have to be careful and watch what I'm doing. I'll eventually get him and finish him with Honda's ridiculous damage. I have more trouble with them jumping HK happy cross up ones. I seemingly can’t get my buttstomp out in time, hell even when it does I seem to not be able to beat it.
The worst part about this is that I face sooo many Ryu players… You’d think I’d learn how to deal with this lol. Oh well my scrubby Honda is still scrubby :P
In no particular order:
Chun li-
block strings scare me. Also i dont fight a lot of chuns so this just might be my experience.Blanka-
can only punish ball with super or ultra. hit box is really dumb for mk ->hands.Zangief-
I have to get in and so does he. Not a good thing.Dhalsim / Seth-
They like to run away and i have to get in. Makes things difficult.Honda- Weird hit box for mk->hands and can turtle me down all day. Also SO MUCH DAMAGE like ultima said.
Guile, it's embarrassing. That guy and cammy at times are just... big jerks when played properly. I hate having to go to them. A really good Ryu/Ken get me at times but they have to know their shit. Never have a real issue with Sagat :/ ah yeah a good Blanka makes me sad too for the most part.
Chun-Li usually always beats me....well tbh i lose to everyone but i have the hardest time against chun li
the 360 dpad as well is the worst matchup....im slowly losing the will to live using it
I'd like to officially add Zangief to the list of tough match-ups. A lot of people think he's free for Akuma, but they just don't know.
A really good Rose always seems to work me pretty good. Mostly because you never really run into a good Rose
" No mention of Ken despite people all over the board complaining about him. Surprising "That's because 99.99% of them are easy and predictable.
*sees Stang buffering fierce uppercut*
Don't worry buddy, once I get my 360 I'll be sure to get my ass kicked ;) (I'm not being sarcastic btw, I probably forgot all my combos by now haha).
" @Jolly_Lolly: I'm over it, at this point I just throw out my gt and see what happens. I am just as guilty defending Ken as are the people bashing him....it is growing old. And yeah, lets play when you get sorted. From what I hear, you are a Sagat player? "Yeah I mained him for a while, but I haven't played with him for months. I really don't have a main right now, I just alternate between M. Bison, Balrog, and Ryu.
I just hope I don't have to start all over with them, I'm beginning to feel the rust in my hands :\
" @Jolly_Lolly: When will you be able to play again? "Soon, I hope. The problem is that my parents think having my xbox over here will "distract" me from my studies. Honestly, my classes are so boring and shit simple that I'm just twidiling me thumbs at home half the time here. My only entertainment is basketball, and giantbomb of course.
But yeah, I'm hoping to get it back within the month. I've been itching to play me some SFIV.
