Ryan Hart's Street Fighter clinic

Super Street Fighter IV
Super Street Fighter IV: don't be a victim, get professional street fighting advice.

With Super Street Fighter IV released this Friday, you're no doubt cracking your knuckles and getting down to some serious practise with your favoured characters. The enhanced version of last year's wonderful SFIV features eight extra combatants, an enhanced Ultra Combo system and tweaked online play (including four vs four team elimination battles).

But are there still weak areas of your fighting strategy? Are there characters you just can't get to grips with, or moves that always catch you out? Do you have difficulties remembering the difference between a metsu shoryuken and a gou shoryuken? Have no fear. UK and European Street Fighter IV champion Ryan Hart will this week operate as the Guardian's Street Fighter agony uncle. On Thursday Ryan will be taking part in a special SFIV face-off against Femi Adeboye. Organised by betting site Paddy Power, it'll be the first video gaming bout that members of the public are able to place a wager on. Ryan is the favourite with odds of 1/3, against Femi's 2/1...

Anyway, if you have any questions about tactics, moves, counters, combos, characters or any other element of the Street Fighter experience, put them in the comments section below and I'll get them to Ryan. I'll then post all his responses on Friday morning.
