The Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition Thread

That's why I am hoping that the next King of Fighters games really focuses on story. It seems to me that SF sells just fine without having a story but KoF suffers when it has none (I never even bought XII yet :X)
Yea same here. I mean it SF a story but when it comes down to it is how it plays over how the story goes.
XII is bad wait for XIII or a updated ver of XII.
-
^EDIT: XII is fine, it's gameplay is pretty balanced/well done, but takes some time to get used to.
When does Akuma kills Gen? Also Ryu has always been fighting Akuma.
In don't recall ever reading about Gouki killing Gen, but if it happens in SSF4 or post SSF4, then…whatev I guess. Gen's just been kept alive for now.
Gouki vs. Ryu is...odd; Ryu seeked out Gouki during the Alpha games, but now seems to not care about him by SF3.
Gah, we gotta wait 24 hours before a new trailer from Japan now ;.;
Regarding SF3's failure at it's time, here's my input on it
! Let's go back to 1996-1998; this time era; the PSX has become a hit and ushered in a new age of gaming, 3D has become the norm for video game graphics, such that game mags more or less championed it. 2D graphics have become less favoured by then, and Capcom announce SF3. To the chagrin of many, it's 2D, but this isn't the main reason that the game failed it I believe, but it's possible that it not being 3D might've turned off some fans/people.
The game introduced a completely new cast with only Ryu and Ken returning. The new cast may not have pleased the fanbase and those familiar with SF2, but in truth this is an issue of them; by 1997 (SF3: NG's release), Capcom had released half a dozen games featuring the classic SF2 cast, and thus wanted to go in a new direction with SF3's cast. If Capcom had explained this new direction I believe the game would've caught on to more players.
Alas however, SF3: NG suffered from 2 issues:
1- It was on an arcade board that was too advanced for consoles at the time, such that if it were ported, there would be choppy animation and the like.
2- SF3: NG is an INCOMPLETE game filled with bugs and infinites.
! However, it managed to get an arcade following strong enough for it's 2nd iteration to come out: 2I. 2I is the almost complete version of NG, I say almost because it suffers from a few bugs, specifically with Hugo.
! However, the SF3 series would not get it's popularity until 3S came out in 1999 and was later ported to the PS2 5 or so years later.
! As it stands, 3S' system is very good, but character balances are in order I feel.IMHO, Capcom should consider releasing the SF3 games+Warzard to the next gen. consoles.
It seems Dan is Makoto's rival; that's about the only story element I'll watch if I play her Arcade Mode XD
EDIT2: HOLY FRIGGIN' CRUD, Dudley's got his Thunderbolt special move from SF3: 2I!
http://i47.tinypic.com/rvhgf7.jpg
3rd pic on the right side of Dudley's page going down.
That move is like Alex's stomp attack only…worse? I can't think of many useful things about since using it was situational in 2I. -
Wasn't that Ryu's Rival in 3S Ken? I mean by than he is pretty much over Gouki.
Also about the trailer it should be posted in a couple of hours since im sure IGN or another site has it and just waiting till tomorrow to post it.
I know in Alpha 2 Gouki fought Gen and was pretty much a stalemate.
-
^I can't access IGN ATM for some reason but yes I think Eng. game sites may put something up soon…
Also Alpha 2 Gold is the updated ver. of Alpha 2, but is the same story. I'll need to reread about Gen again though @_@
lol, people are already speculating what Makoto can do in SSF4;
St. HP-->Chesto!-FADC->St. HP-->Chesto!-FADC->Whatever -
She blushing.
!
-
Is Makoto gonna have to choke a bitch?
lol at FeiLong's reactions to Mak XD
-
Trailer has been leaked.
-
The trailer was awesome :D
Guy with the Raccoon was funny XD
-
That was a fun trailer.
-
QA on the new characters plus Makoto vs Ibuki Gameplay Footage.
-
I honetsly prefered Dudley third strike voice actors.
He had a strong english accent and captured perfectly his personality.
Boy, I have always dreamed to see Balrog vs Dudley. This is what I wanted from Thrid strike. A mix of alpha characters, best of 3, and SF2 roster.
Ibuki looks cool. I really love her ultra. It seems she has Sakura as a rival. I wonder why. Maybe Sakura is a fan of ninjas.
However, I think Makoto lacks personality and originality. She has a great gameplay indeed. For some reasons, I prefered her 3rd strike model. She seemed cuter.
I guess the voice at the end is a new character.
-
Ibuki rival is Guy. Or might be both who knows lol
-

They said there would be two rival fights.
Ryu new rival fight is ken. The other one was Sagat.
Ibuki will have Guy as a rival as well. Judgin from the trailer, there might be another artistic trailer if Ibuki vs Guy ( the WTH face of Guy).
-
I loved Ibuki+Guy trailer. I can't wait to see it in full. As wells as Cody's since it appears that the mad gear gang show up there.

I remember Ono saying that 3rd strike was the 2d perfect fighting game and there can be no improvement. I think it is false. Adding other popular characters would have made aboslutely perfect.
I think a great sequel for SF4 is to go back to the CPS3 system with an amazing roster and the return of the parry sytem.
Characters are incredibly important. This trailer has more than 400 comments. Incredible.
I wih to see character like Sakura, Dan, Guy , Gen and so on in 3rd strike models

He ment to say it was the perfect fighting game engine and the most favored from the hardcore fighting scene.
I doubt they would go back with the success of SF4.
-
I like SF4 more than SF3TS, but almost entirely for the character selection. Several of the character designs in SF3 were just stupid, and the game is very badly balanced. SF4 has more characters, with both my favorites from the older games and some new ones I really like (I'd take the four newcomers + Gouken over all of the new characters in SF3), and the overall fighting system is very solid. SF3's system of EX moves and parrying is very, very well-tuned, but I just can't stand most of the cast.
But hey, Ibuki, Makoto, and Dudley? Three of the new SF3 characters that I actually didn't hate. What a coincidence. I can't wait to try Dudley and see how different he is from the Third Strike version.
-
Pjy4OvLntlQ
Dudley <3
-
Haha, the announcer got more manly.
Also, I am lovin' me some Dudley. Definately picking him up.
-
Yeah, he looks fast as shit.
Good to see that Capcom is really treating one of the few SF3 characters that I actually gave a damn about well.
-
The most notable 3S characters where Dudley, Elena, Alex, Ibuki and Makoto IMO. The only one that didn't get a reappearance is Elena which I would of love to see in SSF4
-
Gonna watch the match vids soon, but I am not liking Dudley's eng. voice ATM, I might have to switch to his JP one XD
Rolling Thunder needs more…'oomph' in the animation department but I'm sure they're still WiP with it =3Thunderbolt knocks down now it seems, thank friggin' goodness.
EDIT: HORI SHEEEEEET; at the end of the Gamespot character trailer- Hakan hinting @_@
EDIT: Japanese site updated!
http://www.capcom.co.jp/sf4/character.html
Check the trailers section as well!Also, Farmer Makoto!
http://www.capcom.co.jp/blog/sf4/nakky_blog/2010/02/18_1652.htmlEDIT3: Anyone know who Dudley's VA is? He sounds pretty familiar…
Why do I have a feeling there might be more characters? @_@ If you look at how many characters we got from the Zero games, they total at 7, so maybe 2 more SF3 characters?
I could be wishfully thinking though, but-
Hakan, Elena and Q >o>Hakan might end up the new joke character...
-
Wow. Dudly's Unltra looks like a bitch slap with fist. Cant wait to use it on Sakura.
-
I don't think I posted this have I?
-
This might have something to do with not ever playing SFIII, just seeing YouTubes videos and suchs but I never realized Makoto was wearing her headband around her neck.
Cool to finally see them in this game, anyway. Now there is just one to go.
-
Rival fights revealed for Ibuki, Makoto and Dudley.
-
Quick gameplay notes I've read and seen-
1- Makoto can block during her Super
2- Dudley can combo into his Ultra II of juggles. While this is not possible with Ultra I, it can go through projectiles (if it can hit a Lariating Gief…)
3- Makoto can jump cancel after her Ultra II (So I guess Ultra II-->Axe kick in the air-->CHESTO!= 40%-ish damage?)
4- Ibuki can jump cancel some of her attacks
5- Dudley's rose doesn't do any damage ;.; (couldn't it at least do 10 points of damage? That's almost 0 damage to begin with!)
6- If Ibuki's Ultra I doesn't grab, the energy orb has her recover faster now =3 -

They got EX and they didn't even like that.
-
10 new characters: 3 from third strike, 3 from alpha, 2 from turbo, and 2 completely new ones and people are still asking for more?
Man you guys.

I'm thrilled with what we're getting. You want to hear some whiners, check YouTube comments on trailers showing the new characters.

Not even that and like most of the SRK Forums and whining over how they didn't get there characters in and that Capcom screwed them over.
But haters gonna hate. I'm gonna love the game and hope they really do balance the game so I wont be seeing only Sagats winning tournaments.
-
This is just for fun.

So the Trophy list for Super Street Fighter IV is finally revealed:
http://www.ps3trophies.org/game/super-street-fighter-iv/trophies/
-
This game (SF4 and SSF4) is the bane of my existance.
It's not a bad game. That's just it. IT'S FREAKING AMAZING! Every trailer I watch, I get excited. Everytime I watch someone play amazingly, I think it's awesome. Everytime I listen to 'Shop PV' (the second intro theme, not "Indestructable") on my iPod, I want to play this game.
And when I do, I remember how much I suck at it. X_X
I've decided that after I beat Bayonetta and Dante's Inferno, I will play this game and get as good as I can get.
-
So, question of the moment to all who wish to answer:
Who is/was your main character in SFIV, and who are you most eager to play in SSFIV?
For me, Guile is my main, and I'm looking forward to trying Juri the most (Cody coming in second).
-
Ibuki! Yay! The only ninja I like and/or that doesn't suck! :D
I can be proven wrong…

SF4: Viper
SSF4: Guy -
I main :
SF4 : Chun Li, Guile and Balrog
In SSF4 I really plan on using Makoto, Guy and Cody.
-
SF4: Chun-Li, Sakura, and Akuma
SSF4: Ibuki and Makoto… IF her alternate costume actually has a Straw Hat. Maybe Juri.
-
Still plan on maining Bison, and subbing the SF2 bosses, but I'm definately picking up Dudley now.
-
^
No Sagat? He seems like he's right up your alley. -
I tend to just play random, but I'm best with Abel, Guile, Cammy, and Ken.
I definitely want to play Cody. If he plays like in SFA3 but with better use of the knife, I'll love him. Probably play Ibuki and Dudley a bit too.
-
I haven't owned a Street Fighter ever since SFII Turbo on my trusty SNES
Perhaps it's time once more? -
They got EX and they didn't even like that.
IMHO, EX managed to stay around due to it's inclusion of SF2 characters and prob. a good arcade following. Plus it was put on the PSX so that MIGHT've contributed to it's later sequels.
Just my $0.20 =310 new characters: 3 from third strike, 3 from alpha, 2 from turbo, and 2 completely new ones and people are still asking for more?
Man you guys.
The more the merrier I say =3. I just know Hakan's gonna be the one and only remaining character to be revealed and for the most part, it'll put everyone to a different type of silence upon his reveal ;3

My mains in SF4 are Dan and Claw but I tend to randomize if I feel like it.
In SSF4, I'll keep those 2 but add Adon and Dudley to the mix. Hakan too prob. -

Perhaps it's time once more?Yes, you will not be disappointed.
Especially if you're coming straight from SFII like I was.
-
new additions are looking great. With all the new content being added…. I might just pick this one up.
Definitely interested in trying out Dudley, Cody, Makoto, and Ibuki.
-
Blanka & Vega + Cody & Ibuki.
Those 4 might be the ones I end up playing the most. But I think at first I'm going to play around with all characters before finding my own niche. To figure out whom I enjoy the most.
-
I'm a born-again Blanka superfan in SF IV, because his rolls are actually good at what they're supposed to do, unlike SF2T, where he completely lost against the charge attacks of Balrog, Vega, Bison, and E. Honda. He's not the character I use the most technically (I have more games logged in as Rufus and Vega, since I work harder to get better at them), but Blanka has my best win percentage by a pretty large margin.
Of the new characters, I really want to try out Dudley, Ibuki, Cody, and Guy. I've never given SF3 as much time as I have SF2 or 4, because I've never owned a console version of SF3 - only played it at friends' houses, arcades, conventions, and over emulation. I really like those two characters and want to see what they're about. Also, Cody and Guy because they (and Final Fight) are just awesome.
-
I hate Blanka with a passion, but that's because Vega is one of my secondaries…
