Ultra Street Fighter IV -- Decapre Bump!

You can't be a World Warrior if you just sit at home and play with yourself!

*ahem*

I mean, you could have a friend over, whip out your sticks and play with each other.

*errrmmm*

Let me try this one last time: You wanna be a World Warrior, you need to step into the World Arena, ONLINE...!

In my Blog Space, In my Profile, you will see a preliminary gathering of Players, Systems, Screen Names and Characters. Are YOU on my list? Why not? Time to STEP UP and SIGN UP ! ! !

Some good news, some bad news concerning the Mad Catz Street Fighter IV FightPads. (A- Review)

Say Hello to Honda!

E. Honda move's montage is now up in his profile!

(...and the Big Boy's lookin' badder than ever!)

first time posting here in a while, but i also wanted to say how much i'm anticipating this game...i would easily be happy making SFIV my only game purchase for this entire year...i already have my stick so i'll be ready for the 360 version (although i'm really tempted to get the ps3 version as well even though i don't have a stick for it)...

some quetsions about the online mulitplayer - i'm guessing the game will have arcade rooms similar to the xbl sf games, so will they be 4 players per room as well or have they managed to increase the number? will you be able to invite friends to your room? also, will the ranked matches be similar to sf hd remix in that you can't see who your opponent is picking? and that you don't know your opponent's tag until the match starts?

as for my character, i've just logged so many hours with ryu in all of the sf2 titles that i'm welcoming a change this time around...i'm thinking of using one of the original characters and one new one for my mains....

Hey I see a lot of my old Street Fighter buddies in this room. You guys ready to get worked by me in SF4?!?! :)

I got my copy preordered so you know I'll be there on day one. Not really digging the throwback to old school style Street Fighter 2 but if thats what it takes to get the old school and new school players back so be it. Its going to take me a while to not try and parry down stupid fireballs.

Any of you guys plays 3rd Strike on 2DF or GGPO?

I'll lost my job.

I'll lost my girlfriend.

I'll lost my social life.

Don't matter, I'll be happy because I love STREET FIGHTER!

FightPad (P)reviews:

IGN Gear 8.7 / 10 Review -- "Overall, we were pretty impressed by the Mad Catz FightPad. It's an effective solution for those who aren't proficient enough with fighting sticks but still want to a good way to pummel their friends with a solid competitive edge."

1Up.Com Retro Blog -- "Although I like Nuby's D-pad better (the directions are much "harder" and tactile when you press them), the FightPad's face buttons are wider, flatter, and set further up on the body of the controller, which simply feels more comfortable -- and you don't need to press them as hard. Plus, the FightPad is a little thinner in the back, which, unlike Nuby's old pad, doesn't make me feel like I'm holding two bars of Lever 2000 stuck together."

Kotaku at CES -- "The FightPad's d-pad is sort of a hybrid between an analog stick and digital pad, with the cross floating in a circular space. That makes it much easier to pull of fireball or dragon punch motions than it would be on a DualShock or Xbox 360 controller d-pad. It feels mostly accurate, much easier on the thumb, even if jumping diagonally with the pad felt more difficult because of its positioning. That may just require some getting used to, but the trade-off of upgrading from a standard pad makes it worth it.

...Overall, we were pretty pleased with the Mad Catz offerings at CES and look forward to spending more time with them for proper hardware reviews."

Gaming-Age A- Review -- "For control pad-loving fighting game fans who are looking forward to throwing down in the next-generation arena, the Mad Catz Street Fighter IV FightPad is where it's at. For the mix of quality and functionality included, the $39.99 price tag is right on for the controller, especially for the wireless PS3 version. Of course, if you're still looking for something in a stick variety there's also the regular and limited Tournament Edition of the Street Fighter IV FightStick."

So a partial English voice cast has been made available, and apparently Capcom has outsourced voice duty to Viz or some studio tied to Viz closely enough to access their talent. Great decision.

Ryu - Kyle Hebert (Bleach's Aizen Sousuke, Dragonball Z's grown-up Son Gohan)
Ken - Reuben Langdon (Apparently he hasn't been around much anime, but he does have a solid resumé.)
Chunli - Laura Bailey (Fullmetal Alchemist's Lust, Naruto's Mitarashi Anko)
Guile - Travis Willingham (Fullmetal Alchemist's Roy Mustang)
Dhalsim - Christopher Bevins (Spiral's Kanone, Witchblade's Hiroki)
Vega - Doug Erholtz (Bleach's Ichimaru Gin) - I LOVE THIS CHOICE!
C.Viper - Michelle Ruff (Persona 3's Takeba Yukari, Bleach's Kuchiki Rukia)
Rufus - Christopher Corey Smith (Buso Renkin's Moon Face, Xenosaga's Kevin)
El Fuerte - JB Blanc (Bleach's Aramaki "Drunk Guy from 11th" Makijou, Hellsing's Enrico)
Seth - Michael McConnohie (Big O's Schwartswald, s.CRY.ed's Unkei)
Feilong - Matthew Mercer (Ace Combat 5's Albert Genette, Star Ocean: The Last Hope's Edge Maverick)
Sakura - Karen Strassman (Rozen Maiden's Suigintou, Buso Renkin's Mutou Mahiro) - Oh god that is funny...
Cammy - Caitlin Glass (Fullmetal Alchemist's Winry, Infinite Undiscovery's Aya)

Chunli might have been a better role for Michelle Ruff (and one I think she's done in the past), but Laura Bailey does a good job from what little I've heard so far. Doug Erholtz as Vega cannot be understated - for those of you who haven't seen Bleach, this guy exudes Vega-ness. I just can't wait for this list to fill out as we get closer to the 17th.

EDIT: Added three more.

Sick, simply impressive, that cast looks like Capcom went the extra mile and spent a few extra bones to ensure the game doesn't sound as cheesy as some of their more recent Street Fighter titles. HiResDes

I think I'll be sticking with Cammy as my main, and using Sagat from time to time...This is the rotation that has worked for me for about a decade now, so why change now? Plus I've seen videos of Sagat and he seems higher tiered, so whenever I get pissed off and feel that I'm working too hard with Cammy I'll just sit back and relax and pull out my Sagat. I would be worried that I haven't seen a lot of footage of Cammy, especially compared to other characters, but then again I never see that many people playing with her competitively. HiResDes

King9999

What about characters who aren't English speakers no Japanese :P jk

Well, it looks like my fears were right. The extra costumes in DLC are from the Arcade version so Capcom deliberately left them out of the console version as DLC. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it stinketh' a little, but Capcom did give us Cammy, Dan, Fei Long, Gen, Rose, and Sakura for free and not as 400pt DLC. So you win some you lose some I guess.

And oh yeah, here's some more DLC details:

http://kotaku.com/5147226/capcom-catalogs-street-figher-ivs-many-downloadables

The Championship Mode Expansion Pack, which Capcom says will be out "post launch", will include a replay mode, two new points systems and an enhanced tournament matching system.

• Replay Mode – Record, upload, and download top matches to share with the Street Fighter IV community. Players can analyze top tiered fighters matches, leave voter feedback for others, and share their own triumphant victories.

• New Points System - Two new points systems to measure your skill (Championship and Tournament Points)

• Enhanced Tournament Matching System - Skill level matching system offers improved tournament match making for beginners and mid-level players. Competitors earn Grade Points (GP) to earn entry into more advanced tournaments.

And one last note on the costumes. The Collector's Edition says there will be 5 exclusive costumes...are those original and new or are they that first set?

ASK_Story

I'm excited about SF4 but I'm so pissed off about the held back stuff I'm tempted to skip SF4. Held back costumes are something I can ignore, but a held back replay mode and enhanced tournament matching system...

Companies chopping pieces off of full priced games (what was the point in the $10 price hike again?) and selling them to consumers is a nasty habit that really needs to be discouraged.

Ummm... The Championship Mode Expansion DLC will be **free** !

It's only the 5 alternate costume paks that will be Four Dollars apiece.

"Capcom also has in the works a round of free--not to mention substantive--DLC. Dubbed the Championship Mode Expansion Pack, the free DLC adds in a Replay mode in which players can record and distribute their fights online; two new points systems for skill ranking; and a tournament matching system, in which players are pitted against one another based on their skill level. Capcom did not reveal when the Championship Mode Expansion Pack would be available."--From the "Capcom Details First SFIV DLC" article on Gamespot, Feb. 6th, 2009.

Also happened to see the final box for both the CE and the regular game. PS3 version requires at least 52MB on your HDD, and I didn't get a glimpse of the 360 box.

However, the CE reveals the DLC you'll be getting? It's the first pack - the Brawler pack. So basically, you get this for free - costumes for Zangeif, E.Honda, Rufus, El Furete, and Abel. Here's a sneak peak:

If you look closely at Abel's Profile Picture in this topic, you'll notice he's pretty badly scarred all over his body! That plus amnesia = Long Lost Nash!

:cry: :P

Fixed. :)

Man, thanks for creating a topic like this over here in GS.

That said, I'm into the storyline for Street Fighter and enjoy what it has to offer.

But I didn't know that it was official that Dan had a fight with Akuma and was presumed to die after the match though. That's a new one for me. I'll have to read the plot guide over again to see what's up with that.

I have a feeling that Abel and Charlie know each other somehow, especially if you watch the trailer and you hear that quick conversation between Guile and Abel in the English trailer version (latest one, which I called "At Last", since those are the first two words you see in the trailer). It gets even better! Although not official, there was a recent Turbo comic that shown Abel and how he was trapped in a place somewhere before Charlie was able to bust him out of it. So it might make sense that Charlie is somehow alive...although how the hell they are gonna explain that is beyond me.

And how in the world is Bison alive after Akuma destroyed him with the raging demon after the events of Street Fighter II? And how in the world is Gouken alive as well? I'm very curious to see how Capcom will explain all of this...

That said, eleven more days to go until we can play SFIV!

Damn, man! Where have you been? Last I remember, weren't you attending school somewhere on Long Island...?

How many years has it been?

Of course I would create a topic like this! I'm as old an old timer as you! But I've been here consistently... :P

Seriously though... Where have you been hiding?

To answer your question, Phantom Lee, I'm no longer living in NY. I still live in the States though, in NH.

That said, I've just been very busy for a long time and have been lurking on these forums. I still put up a few game reviews every now and then (last one I did was for Assassin's Creed, if you're interested in reading it).

But yeah, I'm around, just not as much. :) And it's been a long time, that's for sure!

Wow! With me, you and Mike M. in this topic, all we need is Minda Cubed, Alex Watchtower and Brian Loh... and we could start the Green Council of GameSpot Elders! :P

Damn! Memories!

I have a decent amount of experience with the series under my belt (I was in college and high school during the age of SF, and SF was the game we all played though I was never a tournament player or anything) but I only bought four versions of SF2 because I didn't think every increment was worth buying. Honestly, I eventually moved onto VF and rarely looked back (which is why I missed the last couple itinerations of SF2 and missed SF3 entirely, though I did play a bit of Alpha 3).

Also, there is a difference between Capcom releasing a new, fully priced game which reflects recent balance changes and/or character additions made to arcade cabinets and Capcom holding back content which was in the arcade game that the home version is based on for the purposes of selling it separately.

Wow! With me, you and Mike M. in this topic, all we need is Minda Cubed, Alex Watchtower and Brian Loh... and we could start the Green Council of GameSpot Elders! :P

Damn! Memories!

Edit: I realize now who Brian Loh is as well, so that's my bad. LOL. Still...The Green Council of Gamespot. That would be interesting! By the way, who are you again? I know it's been ages since we've talked, but...
