SF4 Screenshot Special: A Storm Is Coming

Whoever comes up with the best title for the Abel vs Zangief image up top gets to choose the next featured SF4 Biweekly TACV character after Gouken! As always, the rules are one entry per person and i’ll choose my favorite on Monday.

sf4-abel-zangief-01

SF4 Abel’s HP Heartless super rushes directly toward Zangief’s Ultimate Atomic Buster ultra.

sf4-cammy-chunli-01

SF4 Cammy’s Gyro Drive Smasher ultra initiates between Chun Li’s c.LP xx MP Kikoken – by far the most stylish version of her fireball animation, in my opinion.

sf4-sakura-balrog-01

SF4 Sakura’s fully charged EX Hadoken is partially absorbed by Balrog’s EX Dash Straight armor, which is kara-canceled into his PPP Violent Buffalo ultra.

sf4-ryu-guile-01

SF4 Ryu’s EX Hadoken nullifies Guile’s EX Sonic Boom, as Ryu EX Focus Attack dash cancels into the fallout to activate his Metsu Hadoken ultra.

    I thought a hurricane & a tornado were the same thing :P

    When was the last time you saw a satelite picture of a tornado?

    Thanks to everyone for contributing to another 50+ post contest. Lots of great ideas once again (Atomic Collider, Napoleonic Wars, Zach Morris, etc.) but the whole Tornado vs Cyclone idea was too good to pass up.

    Pokey86: Congratulations, you get to pick the featured character for the next SF4 TACV. Choose anyone you like except Guile, Ryu, Zangief, El Fuerte, Ken, Dhalsim, Rufus, Viper, Cammy, Abel, Rose, and Gouken.

    I’mtied on Seth, Gen & Akuma…

    Though my two mains/Secondaries are Seth & Akuma, I want to see how Maj can push Gen (Not that i want to pressure the impossible from him)

    [b]Gen[/b] please maj

    Cool, i’ll give it a shot. I’m not sure how interesting Gen will turn out since he has fewer attacks than you’d think, due to not having any close/far standing normals. Plus he doesn’t have much frame advantage to work with. But i’ll try to find something unique cuz i like him as a character.

    Yeah i know he lacks varying close/far attacks? but the links he has are very superb & cancelling hands, though not a fantastic FADC does look superb.

    Hopefully i can find meterless ways to extend his standard sequences because it would look really cool to have a long non-repetitive combo without projectiles. We’ll see i guess.
