Hopefully Grown-Up Sakura.

Hopefully Grown-Up Sakura.
-
Oh hells yes, Sakura is in!
However, what I am concerned about is why is she still in her school uniform? Shouldn't she have graduated by now? They did say that this game takes place between SF2 and SF3, right? The Alpha series takes place a few years before SF2 if I remember correctly. I also was hoping that her style would become more mature since she's in her 20s now.
-
It's capcom with the SF continuity don't bother trying to figure things out.
-
Actually her wearing that school outfit is sorta her wearing her…'fighting outfit'. It's kinda her 'gi'...
-
Time to stray away from all the news regarding SFIV. With that said, I present to all a match I partook in last Thursday. I'm playing Honda, btw.

Nice match, though the Ryu always getting caught by the Throw was kinda funny.

Tell me about it; I was in disbelief that I was able to connect that many Ooichou Nage (Honda's command throw) in that one round alone. Hell, a lot of people were in disbelief that it still happened.
-
I finally got to play SFIV and the videos alone dont do justice on how amazing looking this game is.
So far I played with : C.Viper, Ken, El Fuerte and Guile.
I might be alone on this but I enjoyed playing with C.Viper.
I'll post some vids later.

There are quite a few C. Viper players at my school. She was the most popular of the new 4 until people started using Abel.
Rufus despite being pretty damn good is rarely used, at least from what I'm seen.
And El Fuerte, sadly, is avoided like the plague by everybody except me and one other guy. :( I really hope for the console version he'll not take as much damage as he does, not much less but just a bit. (please Capcom…..PLEASE)
-
Zangief and Blanka are beast in the game next to Guile and Bison.
I want to play as El Fuerte but not till I get the Console version lol.
-
I feel the same way about Fuerte :P
So an SF4 OVA has been announced by 4C Studios, and will be bundled with the console release of the game.
-
damn… you guys got SFIV arcade machines in your school? HS or collage?
nothing like that out here

Figures since there was a lot of anime graphics for the console preview. Still boggled by the scenes of Zangief fighting Sakura.:wassat:
-
Not to mention how she kicked his ass :/
BTW just to clear it up for anyone who is wondering- Ono said in TGS that the console versions WON'T have exclusive characters.

College, our student recreation center imported it at the beginning of September. By now the crowds have died down so I've gotten more time to play. The only sucky thing is no matter what the maintenance staff does it seems like at least one of the joysticks always sticks a little bit.
Good to know the anime OVA will be included, I've liked the few bits we've gotten already in trailers.

Hmm, does your college use the US cabinets (with the HAPP/American sticks and buttons) or the Japanese cabinets (that use Sanwa, Seimitsu, or Hori parts)?
Maintenence Staff for arcades at colleges seem to be little to no help other than dealing with coin dispensing issues.
The best way to fix the joysticks is to actually open apart the cabinet, swap out the old joystick for a new one, as I've had to do so myself several times in the past. Then again, I mod my own arcade sticks at home, so it's starting to become second nature to me in the sense that I know where everything goes.

US cabinets with HAPP.

US cabinets with HAPP.
Ugh, that explains everything. Whereas the Japanese parts tend to feel even more "loose" when being played with too much excessive force, the HAPP parts tend to jam up, with the spring being broken, making it lean in one direction, throwing off the calibration and etc.
It's hard for me to see anyone playing SFIV on US cabinets, but that's probably just me.

Yeah it's not the ideal situation, especially when trying to learn how to play new characters. For me I've been trying to learn El Fuerte, but getting a handle on stuff isn't as easy as it could be when the controls stick.
-
First look at Dan's character portriat-

EYYerQJrX5I -
El Fuerte is amazing to bad he is to akward to learn at the arcade but the Console edition I'll learn ways to play as him.
More Arcades around here are getting Street Fighter 4 so I am glad there is other spots for me to play :D
-
just got back from my friends house. we played super street fighter 2: the new challengers. man it brings me back. definitely cannot wait for 4 to come out on consoles. good times will be had!

Karin OR R. Mika may make it to SF4-

-
?That sucks i wanted Cody or Guy, but it seems that ono doesn't like final fight characters. I hope i get yun or alex at least
-
yang or yun would be very good. No R. Mika please.
please
-
I rather have R.Mika in than Karin but Karin seems a better chance since she be rivaling Sakura :/
I am glad I gotten better in SF4 that I am actually winning Rounds with C.Viper :D
-
Karin makes sense considering Sakura is in the game and everybody has rivals…....but eww Karin? Guhh
-
http://ps3.ign.com/articles/923/923025p1.html
No surprise.
-
Fuck no Karin. I want Cody.
Actually I like Karin, She would rock ass in this game with her variable combos. But seriously we need Cody.
-
Sakura and Chun-Li are getting new faces for console release
http://www.eventhubs.com/news/2008/oct/24/chun-li-and-sakura-get-new-faces-sf4/
Well, it looks like capcom truly are listening to thier fans!
-
Pretty awesome news actually joesephes. Now I just need to see Dan's render to sway me towards putting down the reservation money.
-
It was nothing wrong with either of their faces.
-
I don't see what was wrong with Chun's portrait except that her hand seemed incorrectly drawn.
Never saw Sakura's for that matter also.
Plus, screw what the fans want/think, they can ruin a game :V -

-
Well to be honest, while I do agree that there is really nothing wrong with Chun Li's apperance, I can't really blame the fans for complaining about Sakura's since I also have a gripe about it as well. I mean seriously, I know I'm being nit picky and all but shouldn't she look like her age considering where SF4 is taking place in?
-
Just because she maybe in her 20's doesn't mean she can't look like she's still in her teens.
-
@Sandai:

I agree. First off she's a Japanese woman, I've seen plenty of Japanese women who look younger than their actual age, especially when they are styled a certain way and wearing a school uniform. And there's plenty of women just in general who look younger, I mean look at Ellen Paige for pete's sake, she's Sakura's age and still looks like a 16 year old. Who's to say Sakura just reached her developing peak in high school? plenty of people do. Hell, I myself look alot younger than 18 when I don't have a beard or mustache going on.
It makes plenty of sense that Sakura, even in her early 20s, would still look very young with her hair cut the same way and her school uniform still on.
Chun Li I never saw an issue with her face in SF4 so I don't get the complaint.
I doubt either will change so significantly that it'll be an issue, so it's really just like "meh"
-
What's the problem with Chun Li's face?
I understand Sakura, but I'm confused about Chun. -
First ingame images of Dan and Fei Long-
http://streetfighterblog.blogspot.com/Hope they release a gameplay vid for both of them soon…

Haha, awesome. Definitely buying this now. Also like how they fixed Guile's head, it always looked a little cooky to me before.
-
Fei-long looks perfect!! cannot freaking wait!! (gotta say this at least once a month)
-
Fucking Rufus
Was playing the game than Rufus in the 3rd Stage owned me up.
But I was on a 5 win streak :D With C.Viper I am Happy
-
HOLY SHIT!
CAMMY, DAN AND FEI LONG PICS IN HERE-
http://www.gamed.nl/view/50309 -
Awesome Gen is in the game :D
-
That sorta maxes out the roster at 24 characters then…unless they somehow manage to add in space for more characters :P
The images don't seem to bring out much of the characters models IMO, specially Dan's I wanna see him in action. -
HOLY SHIT!
http://www.gamed.nl/messages/90400.jpgNow with that i doubt yun or yang will get in

@Chaos:
Now with that i doubt yun or yang will get in
Agreed. I liked Gen, so it's great to see him back, but I was hoping we'd see the twins.
-

Well, that's what Rufus is for. He's not the prettiest guy, but from hands-on experience, he plays a helluva a lot like Yun. He's just a bit hard on the eyes with his rather hypnotic "belly jelly jiggle" that he sports when he's fighting.
