How to Play Street Fighter 4

If you need someone who competes at tournaments often/ fares well, I can help out a little. And by that I mean I'm willing to demonstrate at the panel. I know the ins and outs with most characters.

Demonstrations would be very helpful.  As a matter of fact, I was going to ask for volunteers to help me explain certain strategies if needed.  If you could help me, then that would be very appreciated.  Bring your stick if you have one.

Depends on what you mean by "standing".  Do you mean standing completely in place with no motion whatsoever?  If so, then I don't think it's even possible.  However, there are ways of doing it while dashing or doing a move.  I will also explain 360 motion shortcuts, as I don't think it will take too long.

Yea, it is indeed tough to do, but it involves no buffering the motion from a jump or anything like that. I looked for vids of it in 3rd Strike, and I saw the standard use from a jump, a wakeup, and buffering from a parry. Either the clip doesn't exist anymore, or it isn't what I thought.

Either way, I'm not sure if these methods are valid in SFIV, as there is no parrying. Maybe focus canceling can factor into it?

Focus Canceling involves a dash, so yes, it's possible.  However, it's also possible from a regular dash.  Simply put, it is impossible to do the 720-degree motion while standing completely still doing nothing.  Any SF4 vids on Youtube showing it are all TAS (Tool-Assisted).

I actually don't play Stick. I have one, but I prefer controller. What console are we playing on? I have it for both, so.

I'm playing on the 360.  Bring your own controller if you want.

Alright, can do. I'll bring my stick as well I guess. I have a Copy of SSF4 for Xbox I don't use as well. I'm thinking of raffling it off at the gameroom or something along with my Stick.

Last minute preparations are underway.  If anyone has anything to suggest, say it now.
