I think SF4 is making me worse at 3S

It'll do that, yeah.

Yeah, if you try to go back to 3S from SF4, or vice versa, it'll mess you up until you readjust.

peace comes from within

it seems like the windows for executing some stuff are more open in SF4, and when 3S requires more precision I end up not doing stuff correctly. similar to the feeling I get when I go from Brawl to Melee. the dumbest thing was when I tried to focus an incoming attack in 3S, obviously that didn't go well!

oh so I've played Yuns in 3S and AE now

I'm pretty sure AE people cannot complain! there's no comparison between the two.

I always try to focus when I switch from SF4 to anything else.

Though not as bad as when I played MvC3 the other day, jumped to Smash Bros Melee, and tried to call a partner.

From my experience, Yun players in AE don't tend to be all that great. Yun has things that can give players a leg up that they otherwise might not have, but I never ran into a "good" Yun since getting AE. I have lost to some of his craziness, though.

I've played a couple AE Yuns and watched some tournament matches of high level players playing him. he seems good I guess but it's not the same as in 3S where he pressures you until he builds up meter for genei jin and then you die. a lot of times there doesn't seem like there's much you can do about it. I'm incurring quite a few losses online in AE but I've yet to get that same feeling of inevitable incoming death I get from seeing my opponent pick Yun in 3S.

Super and AE nerfed damage so hard it's really hard to "punish" someone. The damage you do is laughable at best.

some weird ideas in here due to 3s-think. you can definitely punish people hard in AE, especially with ultras being such a comeback mechanic. you just have to react as opposed to thinking about what to do. that will come with playing it more and more.

I really should play more. I think I'm waiting for AE 2012 though. best release this holiday season, book it

Is AE 2012 a balance patch or a new game? do we know if they're planning on charging money for it?

2012 is a free balance patch. ill definitely be getting back into sf4 when it hits!

XS2 is the only good Xenosaga game - Lady Ashe

so the current balance situation has turned you guys off of SF4 temporarily, or no? you both said you'll be getting back into it when the patch hits.

played 3S all day and played some AE just now. yeah it works both ways! 3S makes me bad at SF4 as well. you can't parry in SF4, for instance. you just eat a fist to the head when you try.

played a few online matches, two against a Yun and one against a Zangief. beat the Yun both times with Chun and then Ken, lost to the Zangief with Ibuki. I'm not sure what I should be doing against Zangief, I assume staying away from him and throwing stuff at him until he dies. once he knocks me down I usually eat throws the rest of the time.

my main characters are solidifying into Chun, Ken, Sakura, and Ibuki. that's not really that surprising, I've played all those characters a good deal in past SF games. I'm gonna try and spread it out though, seems like there's a lot of interesting characters to play. also a couple stinkers though! can't imagine why anyone would want to play Fuerte.

oh and I'm still adjusting to the switch overall. it feels weird throwing fireballs at people, that's not something you do too much in 3S. also I jump in way too much and usually eat anti airs as a result. jumping seems a lot less safe here than it is in 3S, can't parry anti airs and there seems to be a lot of good ones.

and meter management! I have a feeling I need to get better at that. that's not something I'm used to thinking about.
