Street Fighter IV/Super SF IV/SSF IV: Arcade Edition (360/PS3/PC)

[Pared]

Re: Street Fighter IV/Super Street Fighter IV (360/PS3/PC)

Probably. I already have my controller plus I remember them saying something like this won't be a full game but an add-on somehow...?

I'll have to wait and see but I doubt I'll end up buying the 360 controller so I can play it... plus I already have all the DLC purchased on the PS3 version...

Too invested already.

I picked up SF IV during boxing week here in canada for $19.99 and really have enjoyed the game even though I am not great at it as I don't play many fighting games. I'll probably pick up the new one when it gets released as I didn't pay much for the original.

Re: Street Fighter IV/Super Street Fighter IV (360/PS3/PC)

.

Alt costumes -

Ryu - It is the white gi top plus blue hakama bottom, with red shoulder straps.

Blanka - He is in Saikyo gear, the pink pants are obvious but his bracelets also have Saikyo written on them in Japanese. I can't tell because of the angle, but I think he is also wearing the pink gi top.

Cody - White t-shirt and jeans. The shirt is sleeveless and has two black stripes going down the side. It looks like he has a tattoo on his shoulder.

Dee Jay - Black shorts, looks like he's shirtless.

El Fuerte - Aztec warrior look

Ken - Cowboy western. Complete with the cowboy hat, jeans, and brown chaps.

Honda - Still don't know. He looks like Mr. Goodyear.

Fei Long - He's wearing a face mask, and a black or navy blue high-collar shirt with no sleeve, pants, and shoes. Its hard to see the whole thing cause Fuerte is on top of him. He looks a little like Nightwing.

Rose - Looks like an opera dress. She's also wearing a hat.

Dhalsim - Looks like an Indian chef, complete with the hat.

Also, Bison's new ultra - he's holding Cammy with one hand and just blasting through her with psycho power.

Akuma's new ultra Demon Armageddon. If ultra's are like SFIV then that is insane. He took nearly 50% of his life and the ultra was only half full.

blog translated via SRK

Happy New Year everyone!

Thank you for all the comments on the last blog of 2009! You're all just too nice! Thanks to you, Lil' Ono and the development staff has gotten really pumped up for the new year, the year of the tiger! And on my first temple visit of the new year, my forecast calls for good luck! What could this mean?!

Well to kick off the new year, today we're introducing new features in SSFIV! Check out the "SUPER NEW FEATURES Trailer" on the official site!

First off, let's look at one of the new features, the alternate costumes. The new characters in SSFIV will of course have their original costume as well as an alt, but the original 25 from SFIV will also be getting a new third alt costume!

Today, I'd like to show you 5 of my favorites!

First off is Rufus's "Hopping Chinese Vampire" costume!

Wow, it fits his big body type just right. Let's borrow the design sketch from the lead designers desk.

We had an idea to have the charm that's affixed to his forehead be able to come off, but unfortunately we weren't able to implement it. If we really could have it come off, we discussed having this affect his attack patterns and attack power, but then that made things just too complicated.

The second costume is Cammy. Check it out, she's cosplaying Lord Bison!

That's really hot! She's showing off more sideboob than Juri. For her second costume, she was wearing winter clothes but her bottom half looked like she'd be pretty cold, so I felt sorry for her. But this Bison cosplay, I just can't get enough of it. Was she brainwashed into doing it...? If that's the case, would Bison's remaining dolls also be sporting this look! I wanna see that!

Our 3rd costume is Zangief.

Mega Zangief looks like he could be a completely different character. Like, Mega Zangief F or something.

You can really feel the designers motivation in the size of the "F". Also, the letters are really small, but you can see that he wrote "The boomerang on his chest hair will be somewhat transparent", which shows just how much he got into it. In the palm of his hands he's got a little green lamp, and when you punch someone it'll leave behind an afterimage, so defintely check it out during play!

And our clean-up batter is Balrog!

That's way too cool! This has gotta be his own personal clothes. His clothes and sneakers, sure, but check out his hair - shows you how young he is!


This is what the initial design sketches look like. It got the basic approval, but we felt that having gloves was a part of Balrog's identity, so it became the current design! The gloves also have his own flavor, for a touch and gorgeous Balrog. He's definitely after a cool look that matches up with his strength.

And last up is Cody. Here's the costume you were all waiting and hoping for!

His personal clothes, which will take you back to Final Fight! ...Even though he's still wearing the handcuffs. Like Balrog's gloves, they're a part of SSFIV Cody's identity.

And here's the design sketches. He's really detailed, right down to the accessories and tattoos. If you take a look at the in-game model, you'll be surprised at just how much made it in! Hey, but this tank top style and Cody's well-defined muscular bod...he's pretty hot.

So these are my 5 personal favorites of the new alternate costumes.
But that's not all.

Nakky Blog Breaking News 1!
Its only for three characters, but if you pick the 10th color for the alternate costume, it makes part of the costume change! This is something I'd like for you all to discover in-game, so we'll just leave it at that.

Definitely try out various things.



Moving on, another new feature is the Rival Battles. Of course, the new characters in SSFIV will also have their own rival battles, but for the SFIV cast, they will also get another rival battle (in other words, a second one). As you saw in the trailer, there's Ryu Vs Ken, Guile Vs Bison, etc!

For SFIV, we had a lot of comments from people saying "Isn't Ken Ryu's rival, not Sagat?" To be honest, I also felt the same way, but to Ryu Sagat is also a rival to him. That's what I felt.

So, while we couldn't do it for everyone, we gave it our best shot and planned to give as many existing characters as possible another rival battle. The first one we decided on was of course Ryu vs Ken!

If there is a rival battle that's important to the story, we've got them along with lines of dialogue! So even for characters you don't usually use, be sure to check out their rival battles!

So now, you must be thinking "For the characters who have 2 rival battles, which one do we end up seeing?"

Nakky Blog Breaking News 2!
At the "Now Fight Your Rival!" screen, if you enter in a special command you'll be able to choose which character you want to fight! Its not a hard command, so everyone try to figure it out!

↑Here! This screen!

If you don't enter in the special command, then the game will alternatively choose one of the 2 rival battles for you. So after seeing both, you can choose your favorite one (the easiest one?!) and enjoy like that!

And our third new feature is what you've all been waiting for, Ultra II! All characters now have 2 ultra combos! You will pick your ultra at the character select screen and then head into battle.


Like this.
We haven't given them 2 similar ultras, so their use will be quite different. This is sure to expand the nature of the fight!

Also, on the official site under the character profiles, we'll be adding movies of all characters Ultra I and Ultra II in the next updates! Today we have for you Ryu, Viper, Cammy, and El Fuerte! What kind of flashy moves, what kind of cool lines, what kind of scene, what kind of battle tactics will you use to pull them off - I hope you all look forward to it.

But there's one ultra I just have to tell you about! That would be Viper's Burning Dance. First, take a look at the video on her character profile screen.

If you look at this picture and this "Huh? Haven't I seen that somewhere else before...?" It means you are a obsessed fan of the SFIV blog.

...That's right, this is an original combo concept from the SFIV main designer Ikeno, introduced during the SFIV arcade development blog!

If you want a closer look at it, check this out! The Death Penalty combo has finally become a reality. In the Street Fighter Artwork compilation, Ikeno had said he wished we could have gotten the Death Penalty combo in. We got it in, Mr. Ikeno! He also thought up a combo for Rufus, so if we could just get that in too... (3 ultras!)

And so that's the new special features for today. Although it didn't make it into the trailers, there's just one more thing, one big thing you all wanted, that we just happened to add.

Nakky Blog Breaking News 3!
Not just against the computer, but now you can also hear your opponent's character BGM during fights against people as well! This will be great for getting hyped up when battling against others!

There are 2 conditions you'll need to set for this.
1. Under "Icon" in the status information, set it to Anything OK
2. Under "Title" in the status information, set it to Anything OK

And that's all! You'll be able to fight listening to your opponent's BGM! I'm starting to sound like an infomercial here, but if you really want to have a dramatic mood battle, set this to on, set Fight Request to on, and then just wait for "Those stronger than me" to come to you for a fight!

Aaaaaan that's all for today's blog, bringing you tons of info on the new features!

Next week the qualifiers for the National Tournament for the arcade version will be getting underway! On the page for the National Tournament on the official site, you can enter into each regional qualifier! Some of them require pre-registration, so don't forget to sign up!
*For details, be sure to check with the specific arcade!

Well then, let's all have a good year!

Re: Street Fighter IV/Super Street Fighter IV (360/PS3/PC)

iplaywinner's summary of info.
http://iplaywinner.com/news/2010/1/7...b-wrap-up.html
JURI

* The biggest reveal is that Juri has a Custom Combo type Ultra, where she activates and is able to chain together attacks for a set period of time.

* It's not clear if you can juggle with these attacks or how much damage they do within combos.

* Has some sort of EX Teleport move? Not sure what it was exactly, but seemed to pass through attacks to the other side of the screen. (One of our readers points out this is a counter move which allows her to appear in various positions around her opponent. Combine this with her CC Ultra and she will be a real pain to deal with up close.)

* Very fast but takes a lot of damage.

* As previous reports mentioned, seems to have some dive kick/overhead attack. Was hard to tell what was going on the stream though.

GUILE

* Guile receives Sonic Hurricane as his new Ultra which should help his ground game immensely.

RUFUS

* New Ultra, although not very flashy like his original Ultra, seems to work very well as an anti-air.

* New Ultra doesnt seem to connect off of orignal Ultra set ups.

* EX Snake Strike damage NERFED HEAVILY. Saw jump RH into EX Snake Strike do a fraction of the damage that it used to.

DHALSIM

* New Ultra appears to be an air grab with a lot of start up.

* Not sure of Ultras proper application but most likely useful again projectile throwing opponents.

BOXER

* Dirty Bull is a 720 Grab Ultra where he lands a head butt, steps on their foot and then knocks them out with a punch. Very similar to one of Steve Fox's move in Tekken 6.

CHUN LI

* New Ultra is Kikousho fireball, much like her super from Street Fighter 3: 3rd Strike.

* New Ultra can be comboed from EX Legs from ANYWHERE on the screen.

* "Chun's new ultra is quarter circle inputs, no charge needed" - Kamano

* Apparently a solid anti air Ultra.

CODY

* Can combo into his Ultra from what appears to be an EX Tornado or FADC Tornado. Hard to tell from the stream.

* Knife seems to have incredible range -- not sure of practical applications though since he has to pick it up to use it.

DEEJAY

* New Ultra juggles his opponents with sambas.

FEI LONG

* New "1 Inch Punch" is a counter Ultra.

RYU

* Fierce shoryuken is now two hits.

HONDA

* Ultra now has way less recovery.

* 2nd Ultra is a beefy Ochio.

ZANGEIF

* Lariat seems to have nerfed damage.

GUY

* Has his chain combos from the alpha series.

* His second ultra is a very flashy Gen-type move. Think "Raging Demon with the lights on".

* Appeared to have an air grab but cant remember 100%.

DAN

* New Ultra is a "SNK Style Gadouken"

M. BISON

* New Ultra allows him to grab his opponent and blasts them with Psycho Power. Works like El Fuertes original Ultra or Alex's "Stun Gun Headbutt" from Third Strike.

VEGA

* "Vega's ultra 2 is a slide, followed by a backflip kick and then a nasty slash at the opponent as they fall" - Kamano

SAGAT

* Second Ultra is Tiger Cannon.

* Damage seems to be nerfed but hard to tell.

* Most all of his dirty set ups still seem to work (F+RH x2 etc)

ADON

* Seems very fast, but many of his moves lost to T. Hawks specials.

* Seems to have a great set of high priority normal moves.

T. HAWK

* Seemed like a real tank type character. Most of his normals did massive damage.

* A couple command grabs/super and/or Ultra and it was good night for most opponents.

* Seems to be a good character for people with poor execution but good zoning and mind games.

BLANKA

* New Ultra is "Shout of Earth" -- although it wasn't shown, it's supposedly a spin off of his Super in CVS2.

Seems like my kinda character, particularly with the poor execution part

I think Gen is the only character we haven't seen yet.

Re: Street Fighter IV/Super Street Fighter IV (360/PS3/PC)

Even though I'm 36 and remember playing pong, somehow, I am new to the series. Is there a "beginner" character that requires less skill to use? My initial impressions are that Ken and Ryu are beginner friendly. Am I wrong? Anyone know of some good internet resources? Any help is appreciated.

Blanka. Honda, Zangeif. none of these require you to have crazy insane hand movement. I started of with Dhalsim (He's slow, but he's not hard to use and you dont have to push buttons like crazy) Once i got kinda bored with him i went to the hardest character in the game that is Gen. Learning how to do MK hands on a consistent basis without Ex'ing was a huge pain. lol

I would say i am pretty decent now. Like someone once told me, getting into your 30's and yoru fingers slowing down is a myth. I am fairly fast with them now days.
