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

? for the vets: is it just me or is mapping the three punches and three kicks to the shoulder buttons just a really cheap tactic? I know its harder with a gamepad to do it manually but does that excuse it?

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

has anyone got an ultra combo to work??? i do the move and the character does the animation but it doesn't seem to be anything special in terms of damage and a special ultra-cool animation like the computer is doing to me on occasion.

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

Good God I am horrible at this game. I tried doing the challenge training modes on normal and I could only finish the 1st level with about half of the characters. I think the problem is that I am not sure what all the symbols mean.

I just tried arcade mode on the easiest setting and couldn't get past the 3rd guy (Zangrief).

Are there any places I can go to get the meanings of all of the symbols in the move lists? Also, would I be better off just concentrating on one character and trying to get as good as I can with that one before trying others?

Any hints welcome!

I don't know, i'm having the same trouble as you, I don't know how to read some of the move codes. Some just make no sense. I wish they had a demonstration for each move all the while showing the keypad on the screen and how it works. I think Virtua Fighter used to have that and it helped out a ton.

I know one thing, I need the special joystick or control pad for sure. I was on the fence about whether to buy it for this game but the game is much better than I thought it would be so maybe i'll pick up a specific controller now.

I wish developers would take note and remake some old games in this style, 2D but with the appearance of 3D. This is what I was hoping that Nintendo would do with Metroid and other titles.

Yeah, the 18,000th time he used Dhalsim's "stretchy punch" on me, I'm like, "this guy needs to lay off the cheese"...and then I realized it was the CPU.

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

What moves listings are u guys having trouble reading? I think I can help you out.

And to Tha_Kid, I don't think its cheap at all as it would be a serious disadvantage for anyone playing on a regular controller. Also, they made the game with easier and more lenient move inputs to put the focus on outsmarting your opponent and not relying on combos and all the technical execution stuff (although still very much effective).

George, if you are on later tonight look me up. I should be on around 10 PM CST. You can kick my butt and get some easy wins. :wink:

LOL! Jim, you will probably bust me up since I haven't played a SF in a very longtime. I should be on in a bit. My headset is not charged though.

This game cheats so blatantly it's sickening. If the setting below medium doesn't offer me a challenge then this piece of crap is going on Ebay.

I have a limited amount of time to play games and I don't need to be cheated by the CPU. After the frustration this game offers, I doubt I'll be buying anything with the name Capcom on it for a long time.

You must be relatively new to the series.

Trust me, the CPU has always used cheap tactics, but it is all the more satisfying when you end up beating the CPU.

Yep....Especially love it when T. Hawk would ALWAYS Hawk Jump/Dive whenever I threw a projectile in SFII Turbo.

It's not like SF is the only fighting game with that kind of behavior either...

LOL, Capcom still breaking controllers I see. Man I can't wait until tomorrow.

I wish I had pre-ordered the PS3 CE. I'm regretting that now

I hate how with Gulie they can throw a constant stream of sonic booms. That's not even possible. It's fine with Ryu/Ken/Akuma/new guy because humans can do it too. I take it that's what the online is like? Just picking one of them and throwing fireballs the whole time?

Couldn't find it here. Not that excited to be playing it on the 360 anyway. Couldn't find any fight pads,that I'd buy but the stick is too much for too little use. Even if I could not sure I'd want the pad if there's more later with a character I actually like on them.

Still not sure about buying it. I'm -3 fighting games (SC IV,Tekken DR & VF 5...thanks Sony!) but this doesn't have anything to unlock like those did. They want you to pay for it instead,even then it's nowhere near what they have available with their customization stuff and the extra modes (ghost battle in Tekken and quest in VF) so replay is questionable.

Don't get it, you'll just end up complaining about it anyway.

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

Yah probably. I'll still rent it at least but I'm guessing I'll be saying...this is the exact same game from 18 years ago with new graphics.
