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

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

so what character(s) is everybody using?

I've mostly been rolling with Abel though I plan on using C. Viper some more. I'd like to learn Rufus, the dude's so quick and has some awesome combos.

Boxer (Balrog)

Then I might try and learn Abel or Cammy after I master him.

Yes! Tax return is in. Stopping by Best Buy, tonight. Can't wait to get online and get owned by guys who 'count frames' and 'dash cancel to ultra' and all that nonsense.

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

For anyone who is using the regular 360 controller, are you able to play halfway decent? I should probably get this from Gamefly today. I'm pretty sure I'll end up keeping the game if it's as good as everyone says, but I'm not sure I want to spend money on a controller for just one game. Especially with MLB 2K9 coming out soon.

That's what I am wondering.

One thing... I don't know what is considered cheesing when it comes to fighting games, so I won't know if I am playing cheap or not.

is online for the 360 guys still running smooth?

How does this game compare to other next gen fighters?

I don't know if you can really cheese in Street Fighter. If you're good, you can get out of any "cheese" attempt. Since it's a 2D fighter, you can get stuck in a corner, but there's ways out. I dunno, I can't really consider much cheese in SF.

Answering above Qs:

--You can play with a normal controller, but if you start playing a lot and getting good, you'll want the gamepad. Whenever you pick it up, it's a worthy purchase

--Cheese isn't as prevalent in this game. Not something I'd worry about. Throws aren't superpowered and they can be countered.

--Online is running smooth as butter

--I'd say this is the new standard for fighting games. It's quick enough, has top notch gameplay, jump in/jump out arcade options, excellent graphics, revolutionary character acting during fights and is both accessible and deep at the same time. Also, the character balance might be the best ever, as the weakest character still has a fighting chance against the strongest.

Only knock: In training mode, there is no "guide" for how to do the combos, and some of them are very difficult. I can assure you that this isn't coming from a novice player. There are new timing-based combos that have difficult windows, and with no guide, it can be tough to get through the Hard Challenge modes.

Good then.

.

That's good to hear then. I will probably pick this up today and down the road get a fight pad or arcade stick.

Not very productive at work, right now. I teased it earlier, but now I'm all about looking up SFIV moves and strategies.

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

^LOL

I am looking forward to the game as well. Is a guide book worth it? I don't ever buy them, but not sure how I will know to do all the moves, unless I find something online.

I'm ok with the regular 360 controller, but having the fightpad will definitely help.

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

If anyone wants a copy of this game for the 360 let me know. It's not worth my sanity to play this crap.

If you're giving it up for free I'll take it.
