For the competitions section. Back to topic guys.

Sentura is right guys, resist peer pressure; all the cool dudes are doing it.

Although it's too late for me, i've grown up with street fighter 2;( it was my first SNES game ) And i guess you can also include the time i spent on arcades in pubs during holidays when i was extra young

So this one must certainly kick ass

i saw it at work today i wasn't very impressed with the visuals a lot of the background elements where done with photo textures ( it seamed) while the characters where hand-paint textured but were not lit to make the hand paint look convincing it rt direction was all over the place finally when one guy won a match they added this ink splotch outline post filter they showed of in the trailer and it instantly struck me ... why don't they do this all the time ?!

anyway

cant say anything about the gameplay since i didn't get to play it. i have been very bored with soulcalibur 4 lately .... it just wasn't as good as 3 which wasn't as good as 2 maybe i am just getting bored with the fighter genre all together ...

I'm pretty sure it's an art direction choice to make the characters pop out from the rest and it works pretty well to me

Also: There's nothing idiotic about not liking mainstream games. Anyway, lets drop that whole nasty thing, if a moderator could cut if from the board I would be thankful.

I think the characters just have some hardcore rim lighting so they pop out the background. The ink effect is in the game, it's used to highlight the focus attacks, which are move cancels, super armour and unblockables all in one. Just press both mediums together, hold to charge and double tap back to dash out if it looks bad.

NOOOOOO!!! So its just me and Mr. Fredz now? We started playing Soul 3 again btw

Someone has recorded all the trail modes if you're having difficulty, which you probably will be with the later ones. Ex: I couldn't do Sakura's one until I realised you cancel her dp into her super instead of linking it.

The final boss is a fucking pain in the ass to beat...

Fucking ugly blue fish! :comeback:

Street Fighter IV ships over 2 million copies

Street Fighter 4 ever I might even buy a console one day just to play this.

dammit, you shouldn't have said anything!

What's you're favourit character guys? And why?

I just love Ryu and Ken, for whatever reason?

Playing as Guile is awesome too.

I expected to dislike the new-comers but I think they're all pretty cool, with the exception of Seth. I’m playing Sakura because... I’m not sure. Jam, Taokaka - for some reason the squawky one always gets my attention. I’m way too defensive for her to be effective, though, and I keep wasting my meter on Ex Fireballs instead of the sexy launching Ex Hurricanes. I should switch to someone like Guile but I can’t use charge characters at all.

I'm growing to swiftly dislike Ken. Everyone plays Ken online. And I mean everyone. I played 10 Kens in a row yesterday. I’ve only done 2 ranking matches that weren’t Ken. And you get Stealth Ken people who basically hover over every character in the game, as if perusing the roster, and then zoom over to Ken! Extra rage because I have a 50%+ win ratio against everyone but Ken and Zangief (work friend 360'd my face off) and because I’ve met 60 Kens I’m at ~40% on my exceptionally important Player Data screen. What if someone sees that?! I'll be ruined.
