Challenge 14: Challenge Mode Challenge

Post by Maj »

Complete all of the SF4 Hard Trials and post photographic proof for one point. Like this:

Image

For another point, complete everything in SF4's Challenge Mode with Gold Medals. (This bonus point takes a lot of work and honestly isn't worth the time unless you were planning on doing it anyway.)

For a third point, post clips of two Hard Trials completed by inserting something other than a normal attack into the required sequence. Special moves, supers, ultras, Focus Attacks, throws, etc. all count. However, the additional move has to be done after the first move in the sequence and before the last move, so tacking on a super at the end or starting with a jump attack won't qualify.

Here is the text of the the relevant Xbox 360 Achievements:

The Gold Standard - 50 G

THAT SHIT WAS AMAZING!!

So you get the one point for the achievement and a second point for overcomplicating the trials, but dude you definitely deserve a third bonus point for going so unbelievably far above and beyond the requirement. I'll add them to your updated total next weekish.

I love how you started the video with the round intro and got that first combo on the first try. Ryu combo was way too good!

first dude, thanks for posting that vid in random places. If you hadn't the views wouldn't have got into triple figures, lol.

Also, someone tipped me off that it was on capcom-unity :)

Well, I have 1000/1000 in both the 360 and PC version, here's my proof: http://profile.mygamercard.net/nxe/Doopliss%20Swe
You can see the SF4 icon twice, once for 360 version, and once for PC version.

If you want pictures, tell me which kinds you want to proove I have maxxed them both. This one is from the 360 version:

Sign says "I'm Doopliss :3" in swedish, I posted this as proof on another forum.

Dhalsim Hard Trial 5 "extended":

Btw, how do you upload to filefront so you can watch it there without downloading it?

Haha, I love the Dhalsim one, woulda helped me do that one a lot faster...It was very weird to discover that you have to cancel his LK *slide* instead of the usual cr. b+whatever link.

I just did it this way, much easier :P That goes for close to every single one of his trials XD sure, Now that I know about it, his hard 5 is very easy anyway, but this is the reason why Dhalsim has the easiest hard trials.

Dhalsim's are very easy, I bet you could do one combo that would pass all five of them because your super meter is on refill. That's what I did for number 3 I think it is. Rather then instant air teleport I just fadced the fireball and did a normal jump.

There's no deadline except in a few cases where time limits are incorporated into the rules of a specific challenge.

Probably took me around that much time as well. ibuki 24 was definitely the hardest of the new trials imo.

You couldn't do that into s.MK in SFIV, I think. s.HP worked, though.

Yeah, either they've increased it's stun (I have no idea how that was anyway) or they made Cl.MK faster. I'd say it was the former.
