Super Street Fighter IV

finished them! lol - strangely my last trial to do was Rufus # 23

Thank god they are all done though, and on a joypad brings extra satisfaction lol -

now just gotta get the titles and c rank! persistence is definitely the biggest factor in this cheevo!

Congratz, I made those C ranks easy on myself with my second box, Just went out and got a 2nd copy of the game from Gamestop loaded up my dummy account and beat it to Hell over and over with the character I needed ranked up. This way I didnt have to help anyone else and I could just focus on my achievement....Oh yeah, I did take that 2nd copy of SSF4 back to Gamestop after I was finised btw. lol

You're definitely right about that arcade fightstick. Although if you're not loaded with cash like me, the fightpad is now just 30 bucks it doesn't come with the thumbstick but a d-pad. It has turbo functionality and everything so it's still a good deal for the price. I finished Hakan and T.Hawk with the normal controller but man Viper is down right impossible with the normal controller. Also do check out the vids and try to emulate makes your life easier by removing the trial and error phase for you.
Listen to this guy he knows his Street Fighter. I wasn't able to do this before my fightpad, it's definitely worth it. Sure you might get unlucky and get that mad catz product that breaks on you as usual but that's why you should buy it from a store not online so you can return/exchange it. Not all of Mad Catz stuff is bad.

Hi thx for your tips. I am currently doing all the trials on the PS3 (I dont have SSF IV for my X360, got a very cheap arcade edition for PS3 instead). I am not into fighting games so much but am a Street Fighter fan since the 90's. I couldnt find proper advice on any PS3 sites and as I am also an X360 gamer I just looked here.

You mention one very important thing: Pausing the game helps tremendously. You can even pause the game at every single input: When you have to do a Hadoken (just an example, its simple without pausing) you can pause, HOLD down, unpause for a split second, pause again immediately, HOLD down right, unpause, pause again immediately, HOLD right + punch button, unpause and boom, the Hadoken comes out. The game registers everything you input during the pause if you hold the buttons when unpausing. This is especially helpful for linking all these difficult combos in the later trials for each character (12-24) where I just lack the speed for proper inputs sometimes. If you learn to pause and unpause very quickly this can be so helpful. The only thing to know is that the game does jump to the next frame when you pause. Keep this in mind because some moves are very sensitive when it comes to frames. Some moves require 1 frame, some require a whole lot more, so you have to keep the timing in mind when you use this method or else moves wont come out in some cases: 1 frame moves require a super fast pause. Others require more between the movements: I remember a Dudley challenge (17?) where you have to cancel into one of his ultras at the end but despite pressing all three punch buttons, he always did his super combo. This was because I was too fast: I canceled the preceding move into the Super Combo instead of waiting some more frames to link into the ultra.

EDIT: I use one of these Madcatz Fightpads. They are not as expensive as a fight stick but they also have a turbo function, a six button layout and a diagonal dpad. One question: Do you know any trials for which you specifically recommend Turbo?

EDIT 2, 03/20/17: 20 of 35 character's trials completely done with the above mentioned method. I think I will have done them all in like 4-5 weeks :).

EDIT 3 07/14/17: A little late but I managed to get all these done on PS3 in May 17 by using the above mentioned method. But I am sure this will also work with a Madcatz Fightpad on X360 :).

I used this method a while back for this specific trial & worked :) thumbs up

Also used controller only, was a bitch!
