Street Fighter IV - In training (Week 3)

Posted by: Danny Morgan

Technically this is week 4, but I've been away on an exotic cycling trip to the Isle of Wight. I know...you're jealous right!? Anyway, this is my 3rd week of actual training.

To be honest, my training has somewhat been neglected. I haven't been training that much at all. It's like joining a new gym. At first you're really up for it. You want to get that six-pack, build those biceps and woo the...ladies. But, then you get tired, fed up, sore and just generally de-motivated. You begin to resent paying for that membership.

Well, I'm in a similar scenario here. Don't get me wrong. I love the game. But I hate just plodding along. Whereas the first 2 weeks I felt like I was learning, improving and building those virtual biceps, this week I have gotten nowhere. I've become too predictable with my usual characters and I can't seem to get remotely good with any new ones. The honeymoon period is over.

If I could afford it I would buy an arcade stick - I'm definitely struggling with the combos. It's extremely frustrating as I KNOW I'm pressing the right buttons, in the right order and quick enough. The game just isn't recognising this, obviously it's a glitch - there's no way it has anything to do with me being rubbish.

I have a mate who is going to teach me how to show off some moves and deal some damage. In his words he is 'kickass' at Street Fighter 4 and routinely dishes our some serious 'ownage' online. I dunno - these young people and their new online lingo. I'll let you know if it works either at week 4 or 5.
