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.

[Sentura]

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

[AlexM]

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.

[Taylor]

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.

I assume she has low health, or T.Hawk's 720 is mental.

I want to hear more about the current characters tweaks. Mostly what they're doing with some of the lower tier characters.

Seth getting dropped seems about right though but not sure why Gouken would get the same treatment, he seems fine?

[Taylor]

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.

G2-A

I feel special. I'm pretty sure my ceiling will be G1, but I have no pad to blame it on anymore should I consistently get my ass handed to me.

[Yokai]

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

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.

[Taylor]

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

[Erratic]

I'm going at it on 360.

[Taylor]

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