SF4 Screenshot Special: Epic Dodgeball

Here’s the last batch of Street Fighter IV screenshots. If you click on each image, then click on the “All Sizes” icon, the 1280 x 720 option will give you the native resolution lossless PNG file.

Whoever comes up with the best title for the Chun Li vs Cammy picture up top gets to choose the character paired with Akuma for the next SF4 Biweekly TACV! As always, the rules are one entry per person and i’ll choose my favorite on Monday.

sf4-superfreeze-01

SF4 Chun Li cancels HP Kikoken into HK Senretsukyaku and Cammy times her HK Spin Drive Smasher so that both their superfreezes occur simultaneously.

sf4-superfreeze-02

SF4 Rose cancels HP Soul Spark into HP Aura Soul Spark while Dhalsim cancels HP Yoga Fire into HP Yoga Inferno. Both superfreezes coincide with the impact of their projectiles.

sf4-bison-feilong-01

SF4 M.Bison’s lvl2 Focus Attack creates a blue flame to match Fei Long’s second EX Rekkaken. The yellow filter placed over EX moves flickers off roughly once every four or five frames.

sf4-guile-vega-01

SF4 Guile’s Flash Explosion barely misses Vega’s HK Flying Barcelona Attack (to LP followup).

    Numsigmernen: So i played around with ultrafreeze+superfreeze a little bit and i doubt it can be simultaneous. I was trying to do El Fuerte’s ultra with Rufus’ super and it wouldn’t work. Then i picked Rose instead of El Fuerte and i got one exactly like yours, but the way it happened was Rose did her ultrafreeze then Rufus did his superfreeze immediately after. It only looked weird because the camera angle hadn’t gone back to normal yet.

    But i think that’s the case with some ultras. Sometimes they don’t return the camera to normal until a couple of frames after ultrafreeze. Both El Fuerte’s ultra and Rufus’ ultra go back to a perpendicular camera angle insantly after ultrafreeze, but then they take a while to zoom out. So it’s a closeup if you do superfreeze on that first frame following ultrafreeze, but yeah, definitely doesn’t happen until after ultrafreeze.

    By simultaneous, I meant just that the two inputs were recognized on the same frame, sorry if that wasn’t very clear. But I didn’t know some ultras didn’t return immediately to standard camera. I guess I just got lucky that it happened against Rose.

    Haha i guess we have different definitions of simultaneous. Either way, good find. It’s awesome seeing superfreeze from a different angle.

    But yeah it’s weird because you can see* the other character beginning their super but the superfreeze doesn’t take place until after ultrafreeze is completely over. So i suppose what happens is you’re catching them on their 1-frame startup before superfreeze.

    *You can see it by their serious facial expression. SF4, why you so crazy?!

    Magnetic Tug of War and Bolt from the Blue were awesome. And all the random 80’s movies references made me laugh too, but not as much as Epic Dodgeball.

    Master Bigode: Congratulations, you get to pick the character to be paired with Akuma for the next SF4 TACV. Choose anyone you like except Guile, Ryu, Zangief, El Fuerte, Ken, Dhalsim, Rufus, Viper, Cammy, Abel, Rose, Gouken, Gen, and Fei Long.

    Master Bigode: Cool, i like how all the pairings have been thematic so far. Bison’s a tough one but i’ll give it a shot.

    Stingah: Haha which one’s wind and which one’s water?

    And the character I wanted to say all along has been chosen and I can stop trying to throw a name at every single one of these freaking captions lol.

    Btw, Wikipedia is the greatest cheat source for these things, I have to say. I typed “lightning” into the search and read an article looking for something topical lol. I thought the whole “Lightning Range Estimation” seemed cool enough given they’re in that Shadowloo Laboratory.
