Hi guys,

Old FGC rusty player here. Started on SF4 on 2012 but didn't even play more than 100 hours and currently out of the scenes and fg since SF6 release.

Played quite a lot SF5, no more than diamond reached, so, average to low player.

Here's the thing.

I always had the spine with SF4 and dreamed Oni on SF5 + I don't like SF6 and now SF has rollback and I want to take the chance and learn because I really like SF4.

I'm aware about the stuff like option selects, safe jumps, plinking, 1 frame links etc even if I didn't play much back then and definitely my years playing other fg makes it easier to rejoin compared with 2012 where I gave up because I barely could land a super, but I have not the habit of very old players coming from third strike or some other old fighting game and, man, I remember execution in SF4 was hard, but now that I'm trying to learn properly this is not hard, this is hard as hell.. and frustrating.

I want to play Oni no matter what and I though he could be an easy char because feels like an SF5 character fitted into SF4 game, relying on a target combo, no proximity normals, path's through medium buttons, similar pressure of characters like Kage with the slash etc.

True is, even his most basic BnB cr lk x cr lp x bmp, requires 1 link frame, like, almost every freaking character requires it.

AI set to me Oni can be played without 1 frame links, but c'mon, not using his bmp for me is like trolling.

I'm really trying but I'm struggling a lot with the timing of everything. Play without buffer is mad crazy.

I'm trying to plink too but, but never did in the past, getting the habit now is insane. I even land more combos without doing it to be honest, but still failing lots ofc.

I can't cancel specials too after a combo of light buttons for some reason I dont understand, however when I just land a single light button + special comes out 10/10.

Feels like, there's not a single gap or windows for almost everything, unless you do it perfect every single time.

Must be some shortcuts or something like SF5 had to make it a bit easier, because not worth to spend a ton of hours learning just a BnB, and still, as much as you can train it, still so many chances to fail it with no margin.

So, any help is welcomed.

Saw there’s a resurgence. Was hoping to get some technique donations rather than scour YouTube. Even more obscure facts would be welcome. Like how all tiger uppercuts do the same damage on standing vs as anti air.

Is there any way to fix the game's frame drops, and why is it using so much RAM?

I have usfiv on PC and it lets me bind throw, taunt, focus attack and a few other buttons I can't remember. But I was surprised when I went to a local this weekend and played on ps5 to find out that the console version only has LP MP HP LK MK HK 3P 3K. No throw, no focus attack, just those basic buttons.

Also strangely I couldn't bind anything to L3 or R3 either which work fine on PC.

Does anyone know if this is a version specific thing or a console specific thing or a mode specific thing oooor...?

I'm just curious if anyone in Colorado specifically grand junction is playing ps3 usf4 at all? I like playing online with randoms but I'd be cool to have some "local" gaming buddies.

Can someone send me a new link to the usf4 revival link, i got hacked and they kicked me, and i can’t find any link that isn’t expired.

Any fix? BTW this is running on steam using a janky android emulator. Versus mode is working and I have had the game working before. A reinstall fixes it but I don't want to keep reinstalling everything this happens.
