Super Street Fighter 4 Arcade Edition Moves, Characters, Combos and Strategy Guides

If Capcom really loves us they will implement an option to turn off the announcers voice only, and keep all the other voices on. amirite?

wats the secret extra content if you own both games? ans are all the coustumes included in the new disk?

I wish Hugo from third strike could be in this game.

hi... am new in this forum so..i have a problem...i cant win the storied reputation achivemente. I've played in normal mode in 1 or 3 rounds with 60 secs, i heard i must win until agains seth..so i must lose with seth and the last fighter get win to him? sorry if is a confusion..thx a lot

@ Maxiwar

hmm, i think to get storied reputation, you have to beat arcade mode on medium(or higher difficulty) with every single character. I dunno what u mean with seth, but you have to beat him with everyone.

@13

too many grapplers already

I think SF4 is a game where you have to dedicate yourself to to get good. I let my friend borrow my copy and 3 weeks later when i played it again i lost my timing for all of combos with abel. You don't need over complicated motions or fancy air combos, you need timing. Simple, yet hard. I think thats why im a fan ;P

I have many problems playing with C.Viper because I struggle with doing her combos and timing her combos.

@ DarkBurialX

you gon need to practice your dam ass off but once u understand the timing on moves and combos you should be good but if you dont practice with her then you are screwed

Hey guys. Some of you know this but, DarksydePhil, a pro SF player, had a Youtube channel filled with a ton of game relayed stuff (playthroughs, SF online matches, etc.) and he's really funny. Unfortunately, it was just taken down because of "BS" copy right claims, and I'm upset because I'm a big fan of his. So now he's going to be opening up two new channels, one for game playthroughs and another for Street Fighter relayed stuff. He wants the word spread out, and seeing has this is a SF related site, I want to let you guys know about his new channel, DSPStreetFighter. It'll have a bunch of Super SF4 game footage when it comes out and other Street Fighter related stuff, so if you've never heard of him and/or want to check out good SF gameplay, look him up. Peace.

You beat me to it #20. While you're at it, spam Ubisoft and don't purchase their products. They probably did it just because Capcom makes better games.

AT 18

the motto for c.viper is

DO IT FASTER

No more SF4!! :(

did you guys changed the framedata and stuff? you gotta lot a work ahead of you.

all SSF4 NOW!

Here are some of the character changes links:

@TimF
in the first thing you posted it says "Next week's entry will focus on Guile, Dhalsim, Balrog, Vega, Sagat, and M. Bison." Where is that entry?

OK

And if I ever meet Steve Jones, I'll personally do things to him that I can't mention on this website without being censored.

wow that really sucks. fk that steve jones.

and

Yay updated page for super :D

DarkBurial I agree, Hugo would have been AWESOME. Studley Dudley, I agree, Dudley's voice lacks testosterone. But there will always be characters we wish we had, or minor tweaks here and there. Other than that though, I CANT WAIT to get this tomorrow. I'm really exited about it!

Goin to get it today!! Even if this game was a full price game I still would buy it hands down.

So I've been playing SFIV since launch, dabbled in 3rd strike a bit as well, but definitely no pro... and I just found out about OPTION SELECTS as playing strategies... how the hell did I miss this?!! Anyway, not sure if this is the place to post suggestions but please add an area for this strategy, which apparently all the pros know about... please think about the noobs.

The 3 characters I would have loved to see Dudley, Hugo, and Haggar. One out of three aint bad. Plus Hakan seems like a really cool alternative to Haggar anyway. Can't wait to pick this up. I agree w' 32, it would have been worth full price! Prepare to run into me on ps3 with a pretty decent Dudley!

Its Launch Day And My Dojo Edition Isn't Here Yet. =(

-California

Put in a couple hours on SSF4 yesterday. GREAT GAME. Definately would have been worth 60 bucks but thanks Capcom for the low price! I like just about every tweak they made to this new version! They even took out things that were annoying/unnecessary like the pop song at the beginning,time attack and survival challenges (which i never cared about), but kept and enhanced the trial challange (the only one I thought was worth playing anyway) so it's got cool techno music during the trials and aslo a better menu display. Everything down to the title menu's and character select screens look way cooler, loading times (on ps3...with game installed) are ridiculously fast compared to 4's. As is the online play. It all runs much smoother. Haven't had a single game where the connection wasn't good so far. Not a hint of slowdown or connection breaks. This title has my vote for game of the year 2010.

SSF4 for PC! Please Capcom!!! :(

LOVING THIS GAME!!!!!!!!!!

SSFIV Rules! Karin Should Have Been In It Though :(

Ok, here's what I think about the new guys. So far, I'm liking them, no one seems overpowered, nor do I think any of them are terrible. However, I do have some issues with them. Don't get me wrong, Guy and Juri are really good I think. Guy I think is the best out of them all, he's fast and a really good mix up game, and Juri is really balance (she can be played offensively and defensively). But the other 8 have issues;

Cody has a good offensive game, but doesn't have a good reversal.
Adon barely has any good combos.
Hakan is only good when he's oiled up.
Dee Jay has good combos, but can barely combo into his ultras.
T.Hawk looks like he'll have really bad match ups.
Ibuki has a high learning curve.
Makoto plays like Allen Iverson.
And Dudley needs to be in-your-face to any real damage.

Any other thoughts anyone?

@ 41 Where to start...I don't have extensive experience with any newcomer other than Guy but what I've seen suggests that T.Hawk, Cody, and Dudley will be formidable. Guy and Ibuki have potential but come with high learning curves. I have no idea what your Makoto/Iverson analogy is referring to and I'm from the Philadelphia area.
(All or nothing?)

@42, no one watch basketball anymore?

Anyone else HATE Juri? Her attacks are so high priority, quick, and damaging. Juri is the New Sagat, but faster and more annoying.

Anyone else HATE Juri? Her attacks are so high priority, quick, and damaging. Juri is the New Sagat, but faster and more annoying...oh, and uglier too.

@Patrick, high priority? you can grab her out of her pin wheel and ex pinwheel. and her dive kick move is extremely punishable. she is no where near to the next sagat. i main ibuki now, and i think dee jay is becoming a pain in the ass to me.

Juri's good but she's no sagat

- her defense is lower
- her fireball is crapper
- Pinwheel is ultra punishable
- feng shui engine is only good if u know what youre doing with it
- Oh and i hate her voice

Yeah, I've given it some practice and I agree with you guys. It just took me a while to realize that I need to block/punish her moves and now she's not nearly as frustrating to play against. On another note...do any of you miss having the option to fight unranked matches online? I do, It's nice sometimes to practice some of the fun characters without having to take a loss when you lose. Having it all ranked keeps me from doing that. I always just play as my main so I can have a fighting chance everytime. I wish they would bring back that option in a patch.

I Miss championship mode :(

@Patrick - I think you answered your own question. You shouldn't be allowed to raise your rank pounding on noobs, it defeats the purpose. Practice with other characters in endless mode, that's what it's there for.

So endless mode doesn't effect player points? I haven't tried it yet. It that's the case than great!

i bet it still count on your win/loss records on player data though... does anyone know?

@52 All wins and losses are counted as player data however there is a separate log for ranked match records.

Thanks Existent. That's kind of what I figured. Oh well. Its not a big deal. I've actually been playing around with a few other characters other than my main today and doing pretty well online.

eventhubs im a ssf4 player who is loving this and striving 2 get better i main ryu rufus bison but play all characters if anyone owns a 360 and wanna play a decent player let me know

http://www.youtube.com/user/fnshrvb

new stuff

im a little upset with this game. cant watch the story unless your doin the story mode, theres no survival or time mode (which helped me stay playin the game) but they kept trial (which is lame), and the rival match had the same video which really killed it for me. o and one more thing. it sucks having easy access to unlock colors, especially when the colors to the old cast are the same. without online, this game gets old pretty quick. i really hope they put survival and time mode back in, change the rival videos, and let me work for different colors one the next one. dont forget about karin this time either.

i hate all shoto user's online i hope they all F$%^& die....it's so f%^&ing easy to use ryu ken ect ...i know because ken was my main for many years...i have been trying to master makoto for some time and i have lost so fu$%^ing much to these cheap SOB's everything is a combo with this characters ever wake up and dragon punch has frame advantage...i can't stand these characters.....this has led me to break my SSF4 disc and my 140 arcade sticks which now in reflection i regret doing.....
so either i have PTSD from my 3 tours to afghanstan or getting beaten by scrubs who use bullsh$#%^ zoning rushdowns is driving me insane

@ xxjcblackheartxx
well...from the things you said, it does seems like you have some sort of psychological issue, which may make you a danger to yourself, or others. 3 tours to Afghanistan? I can't even begin to imagine what that's like. But regardless, I can only hope, that you seek help for your mental health issues.

However, you may also simply be a liar.
140 arcade sticks...
Impossible? no.
improbable? definitely.
Maybe the whole Afghanistan thing is true...
Then again, Maybe I'm Benjamin Franklin.
Or am I Ziggy Stardust?

Either way, I feel pity for you.

To Oculus_Orbus...He probably meant $140 arcade stick instead of what he actually typed. And ptsd is a very real thing, so if he has it, give the guy a break.

To xxjcblackheartxx: Sorry to hear that you broke your disc and controller(s). We've all had losing streaks and been angry at the game before, you aren't alone. Hang in there, and if you ever do get into SSF4 again, give Blanka a try. He's got a thousand and one way's to punish shotos. Sometimes just switching characters can get you out of the rut. Oh, Bison can give the shoto's hell too. Anyway, good luck.

@ xxcjcblackheartxx how can you get that angry at a fighting game? so u got beat a few times, was it worth trashing your disc and arcade stick, perhaps u should try get better with makoto, switch back to ken or try a new character and stop throwing tantrums just because u lost

I wish you could start a game lobby that lets you restrict the use of certain characters. Could you imagine how fun this game would be on line if you didn't have to fight an endless stream of Ryu/ken/akumas? Imagine actually learning one of the other 32 characters. Go out on a limb (no pun intended) and learn Dhalsim. He's fun to use once in a while. you'll probably lose 15 matches in a row to ryu/ken/akuma, but at least you're playing a different character. It's worst for average players like me. Once you start getting really good, everyone's fun to use, and ryu/ken/akuma is just boring.

what is a "cheap win" on the player data of SSFiv?

Jungle Man...I'm pretty sure a cheap win is when you score the final attack with chip damage. As in, the apponent is knocked down with almost an empty health bar and you toss a fireball their way as they're getting up.

Mad Catz tournment additional stick win i bought it was 139.99 at gamestop....
i have since brought a new game and stick much to mydismay.....maybe you could call it a tantrum but frustration levels also coupled with jack led to bad decsions....ptsd does f#$%king suck shooting people in teh face kinda sticks with you for a little while anyway i have given up on makoto and i am trying to make cody my main...which is going a little better than makoto also it would be nice to not fight 29 ryu's in a row....i mean i have pretty much mastered ken...i have been playing street figher since i was very young and even then shoto characters were so easy to master....not to say that all players who use them are bad or good player's daigo uses ryu....but to advance as a better player i figure i would try a harder character to master...i guess this is a true test to see how good you are at the game...ohh well...anyway sorry for the rant...anyone who plays cody wanna give me tips i play on PS3 name is my user name

@65 If you want to consistently play skilled players it would be best to add a few as friends that don't mind playing 10 or more matches in a sitting with you.Find someone unequivocally better than you and play them until you're forced to become better.

i try that i normally don't play anyone more than once....i dont'have any friends becuase i normally play all of my onlines on xbox live but
xxjcblackheartxx on psn if anyone wants to play

http://www.youtube.com/user/fnshrvb

need subs, comments, ADVICE most of all thanks

Seriously need some help here... How do you do the crossover HP?been trying for quite some time and can't seems to be able to do it.

I wonder if there's going to be any DLC'S added, i'm praying for karin personally. What characters would u guys like to c?

So should I keep my Street Fighter 4 game or trade it in for the Super Street Fighter 4 version? Maybe this is a dumb question but I haven't gamed streetfighter since SNES! haha.

DanielQ94, Personally I never pick girls in video games, so I don't like any girl characters other than maybe chun li since she's been around for so long, i can live with her. But to each his own. I know alot of players like the girls in fighting game. But i'm just throwing in my two cents bc you asked. But who I wuold like to see is Hugo, Birdie, and maybe another boxer (i know we already got 2 but we have 3 wrestlers, Oh, Haggar would be interesting. He could be Cody's new rival since cody used to date his daughter and now Cody's a bad guy.

@72 (Patrick)

Personally, I really wouldn't mind the girl characters if they didn't dress like they work at a brothel. Why can't they dress with some self respect? It actually really annoys me. Makoto is the only one that seems to have even a shred of decency.

exclusiveorGate, I agree 100 percent.

Many of the male characters in this game have costumes blatantly designed more to show off their extremely (over)developed bodies than to be believable. You think karate gis are worn like that in real life? Is it common in the US Air Force to wear a vest with nothing under it? M. Bison's alt 1 just "coincidentally" got damaged in such a way that it exposes most of his chest, huh? Or what about Fei Long's booty shorts (which come in tighty whitey and pink variations, FYI)? And Abel's alt 1 is so incredibly exploitative that it literally left me speechless when I first saw it. Yet none of *them* lack self-respect, only a *woman* is a hooker when she dresses for sex appeal. Yeah, sure, that's not sexist at all.

@ CONSTvariable23

Good point, except for Abel. His alt costume is a wrestling singlet, I used to wrestle and that is exactly what I used to wear, just a different color. Cammytoe, on the other hand, has no excuse.

I'm surprised to hear the comments about the girls looking slutty. I thought SSF4 was actually fairly tame compared to other fighters out there. Makoto, Chun Li, Sakura, and Rose don't strike me as brothel girls at all.

Maybe I'm biased because I'm a Chunner, but this definitely is a far cry from Dead or Alive.

True, the other fighting games make ssf4 girls look like nuns.

True and true, though I can't help but feel almost offended in a comical way. I main with Ryu, but mainly because I prefer balanced characters. I don't think it should be a crime to use shoto characters, but to hit a different side of the spectrum, I use Cammy quite often as well. I'm a BIG fan of her CQC Ultra, it is just a shame that it is practically impossible to hit the AI opponents with it because the moment I activate it, even if they are in mid-swing, they will stop and either projectile spam me or just throw me. Then there is Sagat... I like Sagat's reach. Not referring to projectiles, I mean his punches and kicks. It really pays off being like nine feet tall. :D

I don't think Cammy looks slutty either. I mean just her ass is showing a little bit, but come on, that's pg-rated material. Girls on the beach show off a lot more than that.

Hey if anybody is up for some extraordinarily mediocre SSF4 feel free to add me on psn. ExclusiveOrGate. Just say eventhubs or something in the message so I know where you got it. Be prepared to win.

@ExclusiveOrGate

He who does not know speaks and who does know does not speak"

chinese proverb

I know you are good and looking for some people to whoop lol!

Question: how does the korean version of sf4 or ssf4 looks like

i think jerry sienfeld should be a ssf4 character.

Dhalsim player here and im SICK of fighting nothing but shoto characters online ... i can beat them more often than not but thats not the point. I have not seen a single Hakan, Gen or Makoto player online yet and its actualy quite upsetting. Its making me want to play as them just to let people know they exist .....

@ DuckWithAGun

If it makes you feel better, I play with Hakan and Gen.

When I play endless battle I try to avoid playing the same character twice in a row, so I rotate through everybody except for Ken and Ryu, I never play them lol. I do use Gouken on occasion though. Add me on PSN if you ever need more people to play with. Same ID as my eventhubs name.

If I feel like winning though I will play Blanka and/or El Fuerte, not that I will win, but at least I have a fighting chance with Blanka.

@ DuckWithAGun

Hakan is, even said by the top players, bad. Really bad.
If you haven't seen the clip.
Makoto is way to technical and may (or is?) quite stale compared to the rest of the cast, at first glance.
And Gen being ridiculously complicated to play.
yeah yeah, "he's not that difficult", can already feel the hate from that line. But really, compared to the rest you have to agree?

Anyway, I'd like to see a decrease of Blanka roll wh**es, Dhalsim pokers and Juri players who thinks that her Dive Kick is a invincible "way to win" move...

I'm suprised by the giant lack of Sagat and Cody players.
Or did people stop play Sagat because he "isn't" god tier anymore? Pathetic? Little?
In my eyes Cody is a terrific character, popular by many for his attitude and is insanely easy to combo with, also having tons of varieties for them.

Me? I'm like ExclusiveOrGate, I play just about every character, except Ryu or Ken, especially Ryu.

I hate ryu personally i would like them to make just 1 sf game without him or ken. It must be so boring playing as ryu and playing against ryu or ken almost every match. I play nearly every character as well, i just think it's a waste of money to buy a game and just keep being ryu or ken all the time. Perhaps it's because their simple characters to play decently, oh well...

Wow it doesn't matter which character is said to be good or not it is always up to the player how good or bad a character is.

And Ryu is the most played character out there...Ken has declined...I see more Blanka's and other characters then Ken online or in tournaments.

I have a cool story. One time I lost a ranked match (I know it's hard to believe) and it was being recorded. Immediately I thought "there goes my reputation, I'll never be respected again". Then I realized that nobody watches the recorded matches because you can't even select a specific character you want to watch, only a group of characters. True story, crazy!!!

@ 86

Hakan and Gen, eh? I'd happily play you some.

Random advice that there doesn't seem to be a more appropriate place for: if you haven't yet, especially if you have trouble doing bread and butter combos (but it can help anyone), do the combo trials. For every character, not just your mains or the ones you want the titles/icons for. You might think it's just a troublesome waste of time, but it really will make you a better player, and I'm not even talking about using the combos for real (although some of them are actually practical, or close enough to adapt). Just reaching that level of execution *once* improves your game, and can almost magically make you capable of things you weren't before. And don't be afraid to go to another character's trials if you get stuck, because skills you practice/learn in one set of trials can frequently be applied to other sets.

A word of warning though, while all of the trials are possible, there's no guarantee that you can do them the way the instructions say they should be done. Consult a guide if something seems impossible for reasons beyond just strict timing, it may require a more creative approach.

I totally agree with CONSTvariable23-
I have found just playing with all the characters has really helped my execution. I haven't done all the combo's (its around 88% at the moment, 15 fin.) but I keep going back through and finishing off where I was stuck before, and its great when you manage one you tried for ages.

And also @#90
If you do wanna look at specific replays there is a "New Replays" channel. I also shows you the grades of the characters involved and the view win/loss status is optional.

wow this game is fvkn garbage u need to hav no life to be actually good at it so sad

@ ExclusiveOrGate #86

That's too funny, I main Hakan and Gen's my second best character.

darkstalkers would be a dream come true capcom vs snk 2 would a fantasy for me pls make it happen n not in the next 5 years hopefully by middle of 2012 they would have both out hehe

Is there any chance of SSF4 coming to PC once an arcade version is released?

Lol at #94;
All GOOD games are hard and require skill to play. I bet everyone else on this forum agrees with me.

#97;
Yer they probably will put it on PC, though I'm not sure. They are not a company to miss an oppertunity to make some more money. Super hyper elite street fighter turbo max platinum... Capcom we love you. Lol.

People seem to think juri players only spam dive kick and pinwheels, I find her stored fireballs much more useful, for keep-aways and combo. I only use dive kicks when I'm trying to get in on someone spamming fireballs and/or backing away, and I use EX pinwheels for wake-up.

Who's stoked for the DLC tomorrow?!!!

who has done the speed freak trophy/achievement? Can someone give tips on how to do it?

Found a site with the character tiers for super.

http://iplaywinner.com/super-street-f...

Take it with a pinch of salt, but it might be helpful to some.

@MB56
Use Zangief and spam some normals and waste EX bars on EXBF combos.

u guys know how to get Ryu and ken's rival movie???i saw it on the trailer....but i couldn't see it on the game...

@ snakeeater91 thanks, i got the trophy

OdinReborn...Thanks ALOT! I'm a die hard Sagat player as well. And could always use some extra matchup advice. SO thanks for putting the time in to make that matchup post!

characters i want to see as dlc on super street fighter 4 is evil ryu, yun, hugo, birdy, alex, ingrid, and a separate character of rufus but the way he was suppose to look like on the character art of vanilla street fighter 4

Has anyone unlocked the street fighter. com icon in ssf4 who can tell me how to get it? It's 1 of my last 2 (other one it the 30 cheap wins one). I've beaten arcade with all characters on hardest (including alternate and vanilla rivals for those who have 2), and finished all combo challenges with all characters... Does any1 know the requirement to get it?

ok really need advice i am tempted to buy a stick and would like to know the best ones for a small budget so nothing over £60 i need something comfortable and reliable so any advice would be helpful.

Drippy nozzle: unlock every other icon i think, so u have to get the other one that u are missing (30 cheap wins online). Ive unlocked it, it was the same with me except i was missing a different one (win by judgement). after i got that one, i unlocked street fighter. com as well
