Most people in customer service doesn't know the difference between their ass and hole in the ground, so I could see why that line worked.
Wow. So you told them that it came all scratched up like that? I'll have to use that line.
I'm really suprised that worked. those manufacturing machines polishes the disc, snaps it to the case, and wraps it up pretty precisely.

I said that it never let me play and said the disc was unreadable from the word go...
the guy brought a geek squad dude over and he said to give me another copy and explained to me that either 1 of 2 things happened... either i moved the xbox while it was running or there is a physical defect in the laser and it scratched it... i feigned ignorance and was like "O RLY?"
i think even if i admitted my friends obese cat knocked it over he'd have given it to me... he seemed real cool.
my roommate is going bat over not being able to unlock gouken. he does all the required things and then loses to seth.
its pretty funny actually because he's a big baby and turns off the game and goes to his room, which i don't mind because then I get to play Left 4 Dead.![]()
online play is fun... but jesus zangief is a cheap bas . all people do is his spinning lariat and it's annoying as because it hits for massive damage and anytype of ranged attack goes right through. can't really get up close either because he's a grappler and will your day up.
Yeah Zanqueef pisses me off. As soon an someone chooses him, i go with Akuma and spam the outta them with air fireballs. The spinning Lariat avoids the fireball but you can run up to him and trip his ass by the time they're done spinning.
that's the thing... people who choose zangief are afraid to show they're gonna pick him. the last guy to pick him had his cursor over ken, then as soon as i picked my character, he quickly moved to zangief and we started.
i usually play with sakura because she's balanced and her strengths are things im comfortable with. I only have about 30 online matches under my belt.. so ive only faced him a handful of times. but god was i pissed at how cheap he was used.
and akuma is weak sauce too ... his ultra combo takes literally more than half your damn health.
True, people do that a lot, with Ken/Ryu/Akuma as well. Not much you can do.
Yeah I like Sakura too, though not as much as Cammy. I'm also liking playing with M. Bison.
The cheapness from Akuma honestly comes from his air fireballs. His ultra combo is pretty easy to avoid with practice -- I mean even a light jab stops it.
Plus even if he's sliding towards you while you're on the ground, as long as you jump back the second you get up, he can't get you (even though he should!).
I tried unlocking Akuma and Gouken on normal, but that didn't work out so well, so I went with the easiest difficulty and spammed fireballs at him.
The thing is that he's doing it on the easiest difficulty already. He plays night and day and I barely dabble in the game so I expect him to be better than me, but when we fight its never really a contest. I absolutely demolish him with Ken and I am really not good at all.
I feel bad for him, but I don't want to do it for him because that will probably hurt his pride even more. Whatever, its character building (no pun intended) I guess.

Anyone else finding this game extrememly difficult?
I know, I know...Im noob...whatever. Im routinely getting my ass kicked. So I figured "Hey, training mode."
I get to the third tier and cant do the MP+ShoRyuKen combo for the life of me.
I was stuck on those for a long time too. It's all in the timing and the button presses.
press and hold MP to punch... then do the forward/down/forward down motion... then release MP.
you need to time the end of the motion to the end of the punch animation. it takes a bit to get used to... but it works.
I'm stuck on Sakura's jump in FP... MP... haduken... focus attack. the timing has to be perfect on each and everyone ... bleh.
Well, the thing about Gouki (Akuma) is that that particular attack (Shun Goku Satsu/Instant Murder/Raging Demon pre-SFIV or Shin Shun Goku Satsu/True Instant Murder/Wrath Of The Raging Demon in SFIV) has always done about 60% worth of a life bar, as far as I can remember. It definitely does in SF Alpha 3, though, for whatever that might be worth.
Also, Sagat is by far the strongest mother er in the game. I'm tempted to say he's unbalanced. Good juggling skills, can be connected with the Ultra combo, which is almost as strong as Akuma. Plus, he has the strongest stamina of anyone not named Zangief.
I doubt it. SFIV is reported to be a completely balanced game. There are probably weaknesses, but you hafta find them.
Actually, I believe there's a rankings system based on all the character's attributes. I think in the guide Sagat was the only "S ranked" character in the game (highest tier). Also, they created a matchup table showing the likelihood of beating someone of equal skill with a particular character.

Obviously this isn't gospel, and anymore can beat anymore, but it shows how Sagat is slightly above the rest.
from what i can tell, sagat's weakness is his long recover time from his tiger shots. If you can simply jump in after he shoots then you can combo him up pretty good.
