Street Fighter 4 (and some other crap!)

[Yoska]

Some companies has been doing it for a decade by now. And I believe Soul Calibur IV has had at least one balance patch so Namco is doing it too.

Nowadays consoles has harddrives and are connected to internet so hardware shouldn't pose a problem. It's just matter of will (and money, unfortunately). So, yeah, it really should be a norm. Especially when it's a game which is also played competitively.

But I guess not releasing balance patches would be a good excuse for Capcom to release a new edition of the game. And that way we would get more characters to play with :happy:.

[Tizoc]

Well…see if anything, Capcom may port the Console version to the Arcade. Maybe even canceling out a future SF4 Iteration.
I'm still holding out on them releasing info on SF5 by the end of year.
Oh and this HAS to be an additional alt. outfit for Fuerte-

[Toshiya]

That would be awesome for his Alt Chef Outfit to have R.Mika Decal on it.

More Guile awesomeness-

Gen vs. Rose!
Cammy vs. FeiLong!
…and the best part of all this-
DAN MIRROR MATCH!

[Yoska]

I like my Cammy with sexy British accent. Now I'm totally not using Japanese voices.

[Gekko135]

damn.. i'm really really impressed with the graphics and animation more than ever now!

All of the featured ultra moves looked amazing (i really liked Gen's and Dan's).

Good thing Skate 2 is going to be holding me over until this gem comes out

[Tizoc]

In that Dan vs. Dan match, the P2 Dan's colour makes him look Goku doesn't it?

[Tizoc]

Japanese SF4 Trailer!

Does anyone know what the characters say? Looks like the console version will have special intros and when fighting some characters, the characters will have different dialog

! For example, vs. Sakura, Dan says something like 'Get ready for this, Sakura!'

Fei Long got a Command throw which will be deadly if used right :D

[Tizoc]

[Gekko135]

nice links Toshiya!

damn.. I… just... can't.... wait.

I can't believe it, Dan actually looks like fun to play!

[Yoska]

The Trail Mode sounds like a nice addition. Street Fighter EX had a pretty similar thing.

[Zkaiser]

Dan's stance is pure win.

[Monkey D. Hoffy]

@Zkaiser:

Dan's stance is pure win.

Dan's just pure win in general.

[Toshiya]

Signed up for a tournament at my local gamecrazy wounder what the prize is hope is a free SFIV haha

I been playing guile and loving it. I'm gonna play as El Fuerte more now even tho he is low tier that doesnt mean he sucks. So he is gonna be fun online to play.

[Tizoc]

Sweet, good luck mate.
SF4 will include a Trial mode similar to the ones in the SFEX series where you'd perform special moves and certain combos, should help out new comers to the series.

[Monkey D. Hoffy]

Yeah, GameCrazy's and Gamestops have been starting to post up about tournaments, or at least from what I've been hearing.

I hope the Trial Mode helps out newcomers to the SF series and/or players that are rusty at linking up moves or learning what can do good damage without leaving you wide open. I know the EX series helped me on execution back when I used to play C. Jack, lol.

If anything, newcomers need to learn about hit confirmation; it's a problem I see a lot when playing online with HD Remix.

@ Toshiya: I'm glad you've learned the wonders of and embraced the inner hispanic side of yourself, manned up, and started playing El Fuerte. He's got so many tools to get out of potentially nasty situations, and his mixup game is too crazy.

[Tizoc]

A few things-
1- Should we make a new SF4 thread when the game is out in February?
2- Here is a Seth gameplay vid-
SULHBD3XGFs&fmt=18

Could go with a little attack boost IMO, but other than that he seems fine.

[KrnxAJa]

Seth's special sorta reminds me of the move Kami used to try to seal piccolo in that rice cooker in the good Dragonball days.

Also…... I just watched Rose video......... She's saying Soul Fuck?

[Tizoc]

You're not the only one who heard it that way, it's her accent making her say Soul Fuck :P

Alt Outfit of all the characters.

Fei's is the outfit from the intro of Enter the Dragon if people are wondering.

Also SFIV have lots of peiple with no pants and shirts haha.

[Tizoc]

^Yeah, lol.

BTW I'm thinking of making a new fresh thread for this game with all info of the game so far on the first post, I'll try to get up by next week :P

[Yoska]

Are alternative costumes something you need to buy separately? You know, DLC? :wassat:

I was kinda hoping Cammy would get trousers tho. Still those costumes are pretty neat-o.

[Gekko135]

costumes are pretty cool. I dig Sakura's ryu outfit

[Zkaiser]

You have to buy them.:silly:

[Toshiya]

Well the video says Unlockable not DLC. Here hoping there in the game without having to purchase them.

[gogoedward]

Question. I'm sure this was covered earlier, in fact I'm pretty damn sure it was, but I'm too lazy to cycle back through the pages.

So I need to get an arcade stick for my 360 as I just got it. What's a reasonably priced one that's also pretty good quality? I've seen the DOA one, and the white 360 Hori stick and a few others, all around the same price, but wondering which will serve me best especially for Street Fighter (though I'd probably want to use it for Tekken 6 whenever the hell it comes out on consoles)

Sakura's Ryu-style costume is great. Viper's is so lazy though "let's just keep the suit, take away the shirt!" Overall though I dig most of them.

[Toshiya]

If you plan to play professionally you'd get the TE Stick which goes for 149.99USD But if you want a good decent stick you'd want to get either one of the Hori Sticks or the 79.99USD Mad Catz Stick. Both are really good but the best would be the TE. You might as well get the TE if you also plan to play TK6 so you'd have the best in the market.

[Gekko135]

a stick sounds like fun.. but i'm pretty damn good with a Ps2 style d-pad. sucks i live in the midwest and not on the coast or anything… i'd love to spend days in arcades and compete in tourney's.

[Toshiya]

Got my ass handed by one of the Top players of Tekken in SFIV. He read me like a book. But he give me some pointers and really nice guy :D

[Monkey D. Hoffy]

@Toshiya:

That's good he did; we have a couple of players like that in Houston. You should always ask other players that know what you're doing wrong, since you'll be able to patch up what you need to work on.

Hell, I may not be anywhere near as good as a high-level player, but I know I've jumped past my own expectations and goals to learn SFIV since Day 1.

[gogoedward]

The community at San Francisco State is pretty chill too, everybody's always willing to give advice, help each other out, everybody knows basic arcade etiquette, and it's a pretty good community overall. First day Street Fighter 4 showed up everybody was helping each other learn the system, and now there's Tekken 6 which is going through the same "zomg it's here everyone play NAO" rush that SF4 had a couple months ago.

And thank goodness too because there's some really good players here. I know one of the regulars is a tourney guy and made it pretty far in the SF2 Turbo HD Remix Tourney that some website covered a while back…....I'll try to find the video.

[Conekiller]

Where can I see pics of the alternate costumes?

[Toshiya]

For right now there is only a video but I'll look around to see if there are some screencaps of said video.

[Kaboom]

I only just recently discovered that SFIV is actually being released for PC, too, and I couldn't be more thrilled. My gamepad and I are itching to play this sucker.

[Zkaiser]

Slowpoke.jpg

But yeah its for PC. I might just get it for PC (money)

[Toshiya]

SFIV on PC is coming out on a later date. I might actually pick this copy as well since I would like to play this game anywhere I can haha.

[Zkaiser]

[Yoska]

You know, I do like the concept of DLC. But that's just bull. 25 horse armors. The costumes do look nice but I will skip.

[Gekko135]

hmm i noticed it said the PS store.

lol, watch the sony users have to pay for the costumes and the 360 owners don't… i seriously wouldn't be surprised if this happened.

Ps3 owners have been getting fucking screwed in that department as of late.

Seriously.. this DLC fad really needs to die out or do some major changes... cause it's getting ridiculous.

Good DLC: Free characters (naruto ultimate ninja storm). Cheap packages (little big planet: metal gear solid pack), new stages.. new missions and campaigns (Fallout 3)

Bad DLC: paying for extra memory space and camera filters (skate 2). Hidden costumes (street fighter 4)

...fuck that shit...

really

FUCK THAT SHIT!!

[Green_vs_Red]

@Gekko135:

Good DLC: Free characters (naruto ultimate ninja storm).

Kinda gotta toss down a red flag on this, the free characters are just for support which wouldn't be so bad if you could play as them not to mention that unless you preordered the game from EB Games or Gamestop you missed out on the 1st and 2nd Hokage.

[Gekko135]

oh wow.. did not know that.

I thought they were usable characters.. not assists..

well…

LAME!!!

[Green_vs_Red]

What's worse some of the DL content includes new missions which are essentially rehashes of missions already within game just with different
objectives.

[Toshiya]

You know the arcade one's in japan had it easy since all they need was just to earn enough BP[Battle Points] or they had to purchases it.

They Only good DLC is one's the add expansion to games rather than Re-Release a new disc.

[Green_vs_Red]

@Toshiya:

They Only good DLC is one's the add expansion to games rather than Re-Release a new disc.

But isn't that something mostly Native to the PC?

[Yoska]

@Gekko135:

As long as people are willing to pay, I think this type of things are here to stay.

It do sucks. I mean, as I said, I'm a fan of post-release support of games. It gives games more longevity. I have bought expansion packs for PC games pretty much as long as I have played games. And I'm really looking forward whatever stuff Fable II, GTA IV and Fallout 3 will be getting. But this isn't post-release supporting. This is abusing otherwise a wonderful concept.

That said, having to buy these won't make or break the game. It's just costumes. And we don't even know the price yet. Still slighty disappointing, tho. I hope Tekken 6 won't take this road. Gee, that would something.
