Street Fighter IV

Your Sakura's good man. It's a shame she's so dry in this game, though. I'd abuse j.lk more but to be fair there weren't many chances in these games so maybe you do.

I did like:

"one more of those"

*one more of those*

"oh, no no!"

Edit: Best tutorials ever: Blanka,

Who are your guys mains?

I use chun significantly more than any other character but am try to get better with Akuma, Sakura, C.Viper (she's pretty much impossible to use without a stick with all her focus reliance), & Rufus.

I used to play Sakura/Gen/Rose (Alpha Squad). But now I'm Ryu.

Haven't played it since I got BlazBlue. Should load it up again.

It arrived today

Man I'm actually better with the controller than I am with the stick right now. I have to get used to being able to use all 6 buttons easily. It's much easier to change styles on a dime where as before with the console controller i'd kind of have to position my hands and pick my play style before the battle.

The worst thing about this contorller is that now I dont have anything to blame when I mess up

This is becoming an expensive habit.

vivi how expensive/easy was it to replace the gate with an octo one?

I’m interested by the taekwondo vampire. I hope some of the other rumours are true... Cody, Guy and Makoto would be awesome. The 'gief air 720 not so much.

so they're making us buy a new game to get all of this?

lol, I'll still be there day1

After all this time I'm trained to not be offended at rebuying the same SF multiple times.

It's a disc release, but they say it won't be full price.

Edit: There is a BlazBlue update coming too, but I dare not bump the thread.

Neither Seth or Gouken were god tier and I would guess they'll end up in the console release, they just want to keep them as bosses in the arcade. I also imagine a lot of the lower tier characters will be boosted as, with the exception of Vega, this is mostly the console exclusive characters that were seemingly made gimp on purpose -- because they would not get the benefit of location tests and other hardcore balance changes (ex: Sakura's medium doesn't cross up, Gen's reversal is not invincible, Fei Long's infinite was removed very sharpish, Rose is Rose, someone was saying Cammy has a kick that is minus frames on hit).

Juri has a timer super, I imagine this is an Install rather than a Custom Combo, though. The SFIV engine isn't really flexible enough to allow them anyway to be honest. No news on a guard bar being introduced and I will bet my left hat the multiple saving mechanic is letting you cancelling focus attacks into additional focus attacks on absorb. This would remove the problems with parries, make them easy to do, and if used on anything strong (like an ultra, though currently they all armour break) you will fill up your ultra bar in the progress. Since the entire point of ultras is to manufacture comebacks and That Evo Thing, it makes sense.

Hey, mister Dee Jay.

Edit: Apparently there is no arcade release. It's dead, Jim.

With the price reduction / rumor of 8 new character and stages, totally worth it imo. Especially if someone hasn't bought the game yet. Apparently if you own SF4 you get something special with SSF4.

Well since the bot bumped this for us. Who's getting SSFIV and wants a scuffle?

Boo, I have it on PS3. Trying to roll with Guy.
