this isn't surprising, but still dismaying.
is DMC4 the only Capcom PS3 game they haven't fucked up(at least not tech-wise)?

re5 on ps3 is jagged up compared to the 360 version
just download the psn demo (on jpn psn now) and judge for yourself
Temporal AA isn't that bad, though. It has its advantages and disadvantages. Due to the lower framerate of games like RE5 (30 fps), you won't see any of that blurring that occurs while the objects are in motion (like DMC4).re5 on ps3 is jagged up compared to the 360 version
just download the psn demo (on jpn psn now) and judge for yourself
It's the framework engine. Every game on it will have 2x AA on X360 and temporal AA blurring on PS3. Expect the same for LP2 & DR2
I don't think this game uses MT Framework thoughwhy not?
Is it wrong of me to expect threads like this for every major multiplatform release?
Didn't Lost Planet on 360 actually use some sort of special AA to make it feel like 60 fps?No, it did not. It was locked at 30 fps max. The PS3 version, however, was uncapped which allowed it to hit 60 fps at times. This is what really hurt the PS3 version as its framerate seemed very unsteady, from what I witnessed. The PS3 port was not too bad.
ps3 has an actually decent d-pad so it's all good
I prefer traditional controller over stick and I'm paying that money for a mad katz controller.

This is the stupidest reason to get the game on PS3 over 360. If you want to play fighters properly, get a joystick or the controllers coming out.

Is she still able to go underneath projectiles if you time her half circle foreward + k move right? Also, that one move - i think it's half circle back + p? it's been a while - can go through hadoukens if you time it right in SFII and SFA games.
That's all I need to know.
so who is getting it for what? I need to add the PS3 people, then potentially the 360 people if I double dip down the road
Add me on PS3. Y2Kevbug11. I wanna play you, curse. :) And Swagz I've got you.
has there been any word that the Genesis collection is messed up on one console?

I still think there are going to be a number of people who are not going to like this game, or at least be disappointed. If you really like what 3rd Strike did and don't feel you can go back to the older games, SF4 is not going to be for you.

Personally I prefer the older SFs to SF3, so I'm all over this, although I never played the arcade version much due to the roster; I like the number of characters that have been added to the home version, but am still disappointed in the new characters (and lack thereof). Abel is cool as hell, and C. Viper seems okay, but El Fuerte was "meh" and Rufus' design is god-awful. See Bob in Tekken 6 for how to make a cool fat dude.

I'm going to be disappointed because it's not VF5-R and because there aren't 8,000 item pieces to unlock for my characters. But I'll live with what it is.
God I hope R gets a home port announced soon. I need more VF in my blood.
360 version here - gamertag: "AfrikaShoxx"
Thinking about the MadCatz pad, I didn't like the PS2/Xbox SF pads very much, so I'm a bit wary about this one. Gonna wait for impressions first.
Are there hidden characters? Real endings? Blanka? I might rent this
Speaking of hidden characters, was there any word on whether or not Gouken or Seth would be balanced with the rest of the roster or if they're just playable Gill-like characters? I saw a video on Gametrailers where Gouken connects a Shin Shoryuken type of thing off a throw for huge damage, but it is his ultra combo, so I don't really know what to think of that.
RoboJ, I'd take that with a grain of salt. They all look to be available from the start.Speaking of hidden characters, was there any word on whether or not Gouken or Seth would be balanced with the rest of the roster or if they're just playable Gill-like characters?

What do you unlock with the DLC?
All-In Pack should have been there from the first day. What a pile of horse ARMOR shit.
That's bullshit. One of my favorite things to do in these games is unlock shit. That's why SFA3's so damn fun on single player.
What do you guys make of the DLC?
A new pack every week for 5 weeks, 400Y on PSN, 320MSP(~470Y)
Grapplers Pack - Zangief, E Honda, Rufus, Abel, El Fuerte (Feb 12)
Beauty Pack - Chun Li, C.Viper, Sakura, Rose, Cammy (Feb 19)
Shoryuken Pack - Ryu, Ken, Akuma, Gouken, Dan (Feb 26)

Classic Pack - Guile, Blanka, Dhalsim, Gen, Fei Long (March 12)
All-In Pack - Get everyone at a discount (1000 MS Points; available from April 30th)
All unlock-keys, what really pisses me off is having to wait until April to get them all at a discount.

guile seems pretty awful from what i've played and seen -- flashkick priority is poor, range on his normals is gimped, his super and ultra are just about useless. he's my hd remix main and i would've liked to play him in sf4, but using a really weak character is like running uphill. i'm gonna whore out sagat or ryu like everybody else -- already preparing on hd remix

I agree with that, but when you got the same people using the same characters like you see with MvC2 or SF3, it gets so boring.
The number of people for whom tiers means shit in top flight fighting games is so small that it shouldn't detract anyone from using certain characters.

Well, I guess it's like that at my arcade back home. Back when MvC2 was hot stuff, EVERYONE ONLY played as Storm, Megneto, Cable, or Ryu. Now we don't do that when we do it personally, in a buddy's home or whatever. But dammit if I haven't been exposed to folks that cling to that tier shit in the past.

You got focus attacks, everyone can "parry" projectiles anyway.

what's the best pad to buy
Speaking of which, that Korean Ryu player made those focus attacks appear to be a bit abusable. What's the risk involved with using one?
Looks like Wikipedia was right; this screen shows ALL the extra characters (including Akuma who was time-released in the arcade version) missing from the select screen. So it's gonna be Tekken-style unlocking, huh? :-\

MEGATON UPDATE
First off, let me go on record as saying I was wrong and those who said the game wasnt dated were right....
Ok, I checked RSS again at work to verify if we (bestbuy) still had a street date for sfiv, since everyone was saying there wasnt one. Two days ago the system said 2/18 was the sell date, I typed in skus for the standard and CE today and....THERE IS NO LONGER A SELL DATE! If no date is linked to the SKU the best buy registers will let employees ring out the game with no street date block that requires an override. \o/
My advice is to start checking stores around the 10th because thats when our shipment is arriving.
:D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D
FWIW a Gamestop manager I spoke to said he expected them to be in all the stores on Monday.
i've been reading that the pad feels cheaply made... just like every madcatz pad. is this true?
and WTF at there being no rumble. i can deal without rumble in a fighting game but for other games i wanted to use the pad with that is disappointing
How goes your hunt for an early copy, Lyte? I'm home with the stomach flu, so I haven't bothered going outside to look.
Gets a THUMBS-UP from me. Do I think it's as good as a Saturn pad? Time's gonna tell on that, right now I'd say the Saturn pad is better, but this thing is NICE. I plugged it in and immediately got a winning streak in HD Remix. :lol It's got a good feel, plus rubber grips on the sides so it doesn't slip. Feels good to hold and the d-pad is better than the 360's d-pad by a country mile. The people bitching about the Saturn pad need to shut the fuck up about it; this thing does a good job and it also has the benefit of having a mic port, turbo options, and you can even switch the d-pad to analog mode (for either stick) if you need that.

As far as I know, yes, BUT people are saying that there (surprisingly) are NO LANGUAGE OPTIONS and that the Japanese versions are Japanese-only. This seems weird considering that videos out there are showing stuff like English voices with Korean subs in cut scenes though. I'm going to wait for more clarification.
people at Gamestop said the controller won't be in until next week :'(
I'm fine with not getting SF4 early since it will be out next wednesday, which is after the day I have 3 tests and a big paper due, but I really want to at least try this controller. If Best Buy didn't suck and wasn't so far away, I would have grabbed one from them.

That's because the 360 version is the definitive version and noone wants the re-re offline version these days.Well VF5's online mode basically dead now no? Sega really needs to put out VF5 R on consoles.
are you getting re5? 8800 yen!
Unlikely at this point. I've never finished an RE game, and there is a lot of stuff I want to play right now.
Hey this just came out a few hours ago here in Japan
Too bad it costs 7980 yen for the 360 version...blech, I'll wait for used (you know it's gonna be down to 3480 yen in a few months)

I think the SNES pad would be perfect if the top row of buttons was the same size as the bottom, it had a select button, and the shoulder buttons were a bit better. As is it's still the best 2D controller there is.

I want to wait too, but I'm not going to. I'm stupid and will pay that full price AND probably buy the DLC costumers for the ladies. Hopefully I'll have some points on my card to get the price down.

So I haven't played a SF seriously since SFII. Are there any things I should know before going into this? Like, are there any good guides to the new systems or anything?
One thing I am reading that really SUCKS about SF4 is that the online is very basic-- just one on one matches, no rooms. No spectating. No tournament modes. Pretty :-\ coming off of HD Remix.

No way, the Saturn and Neo-Geo CD pads are the best ones ever made.
Questions for you guyses:
-- The arcade version had like 3 backgrounds. Does each character have a background? Is there an appropriate amount of content here?
-- Is it multilingual for text and voice?

snes pad sucks
SNES is a typo. I thought the complaining about different button sizes and lack of select button helped clear that up ;)
ive read a few that said it was a bit spongey.
My enthusiasm for this game has been a little tempered.
And no offense, nobody here is that good, to the point where playing with the Saturn pad over the MadCatz one is going to make them more competitive. We're talking negligible difference to vast majority of players.
XII gonna be awesome too, but this game is the shit. I still think it will turn off a number o players expecting full-on SF2; it's not the same game and is more complex. I don't see it being any easier to get into than SF3 was.
Also, it's pretty weird they are keeping up this difference in the names between versions. I know it's legacy now, but there has to be a point where it will cause some grievance, esp. now we're all playing together.
It's pretty cool, technically, that it switches automatically depending on your system settings though 8) But why the boxer is not called M.Bison, I will never know, esp. now Tyson is essentially out of the business.
Is it anyone who can challenge you or just people on your friends list?
The option to have people interrupt your arcade matches is genius. Just set it on, play the CPU, and plenty of people will challenge you. No need to wait at the match-up screen searching for matches if you don't want to. AND they were smart enough to let you decline matches if the connection is shitty and return back to arcade mode at the opponent you were facing (starting the match over)

Played for a couple of hours last night with some friends who basically hadn't played fighting games since SFII (like me.) It was a blast, although we were unable to figure out Super and Ultra moves.
just bought the $80 stick, which willco informs me is shitI read the Ars article on the sticks, and I think I'm going to get the $80 stick, but then drop like $20 on better buttons which I think will basically be awesome.

it's probably going to be fine. i played a lot of hd remix on a doa4 stick, which genuinely IS shit, i could still nail my inputs for the most part, and sf4 is much more lenient. i <3 my modded hraps, but i don't think arcade-quality gear is really necessary for casual play
Prole, I never said the $80 model sucked - on the contrary, I hear it's quite good. I just said the tourney stick is better.It's impossible to find inf you haven't pre-ordered, though. I looks great, but I personally cannot come to spend 150 bucks on a fight stick.
Why don't you just get the gamepad, dude?
how do you do kens ultra?
beat it nvm
so how do you cancel moves?
how do you do kens ultra?
Hit start. Look at his move list. Ultras are typically the sam as supers, but with all three punches or kicks.beat it nvm
so how do you cancel moves?
If you have a super stored, for example, you just do one special move and quickly do the motion for the super move in the middle of the special. The new way to cancel in this game now is by using the focus attacks. So for example with Ryu, you do a shoryuken, CANCEL in the middle of it into the focus attack, and then cancel out of the focus attack into his super/ultra. KER-AZY.
If Capcom was serious about making this game more casual-friendly, they failed big-time.
I think I'm gonna go pick up a pad today...
SF4 + Genesis Collection + Ikaruga with new pad :rock
Seriously, this is what is frustrating about the whole SF thing from a complete scrub/noob point of view.
NONE of this really makes much sense. ONce we get to "cancel out of..." "focus attack into..." we're lost.
I just want a site that starts from ZERO :/

good games yesterday lyte. you were kicking my ass at first, but i feel like i learned a lot in just those 15 or 20 games we played -- it's tempting to play it like super turbo, but it's really very different. it takes some time just to learn...like...where to jump in from, how much distance you need to safely throw a fireball, etc
talent level on live is definitely pretty low right now, though it seems like you get better players in custom ranked matches than quick matches
Ken's theme in SFIVThat's sounds great. I was always partial to Cammy's theme. I was very underwhelmed by the OC Remixes in HDR as well.
:rock
:piss OC Remix :piss2
ugh, I CANNOT figure out how to do charge moves

Man, my saturn usb controller came in today and messed around with it in SF II HD Remix. The thing is perfect. I can't imagine ever using a arcade stick over it, I forgot how great the saturn pad was.
try it on a PC and see if it works
(http://i42.tinypic.com/2v9z0w0.jpg)This isn't going to end well... :lol
If you want that get the 360 pad!
Aw fuck, I lost the Best Buy receipt that had a $5 pre-order down on the PS3 CE. Am I screwed? I don't recall giving them any contact information when I got it.
I was told that the 360 version is in today, no confirmation on the PS3 version. Screwed again :'(Where are you Swaggaz? Meaning what state?

fucking amazon doesn't know when or if they're going to get the fightpads to fulfill pre-orders
i'm tempted to cancel every fucking pre-order i have with them
is there seriously a mandatory install on ps3?
goddamn it's just a fighting game
yeah, pretty sure it's optional. I remember one of the Capcom guys saying it's optional, but you'd wanna due it since it reduces load time massively. Same case for the 360.
Just found out my local Best Buy has the game in stock, but they're about to close.
:(
Anyone know if that $80 MadCatz stick is okay?
URGGHH
why can't i find a place selling the fucking pads online? fucking madcatz.
i need something, ANYTHING, so i can play this game on 360
It's yet another company getting greedy with DLC. Except that this is NOT DLC, it's just Capcom charging money for UNLOCK KEYS. These outfits are all already in the game, this is major bullshit. It's not going to cost too much overall, sure, but it wasn't needed. They are already offering an LE version for $20 more! It's Soul Calibur IV all over again. At least there's noexclusive 360 or PS3-onlytime-release unlock-key characters in this title.
They should have offered additional outfits not found in the arcade version (or a third for everyone) instead of this. But I'm a sucker and I will pay them for these outfits, and the cycle will continue. :-\
No, why the hell would you think that?

Wait, was Darth Vader eventually playable in the X360 version? Or were 360 players just stuck with Yoda-only, because... um, "he's green too"?
I'm going to return one for the Hori arcade stick, though.
For those not going the MadCatz route on the 360.I'm going to return one for the Hori arcade stick, though.
The 360 HRAP? Are they selling it in retail stores now?
I might just pick that up if I can't find a tourney 360 stick.

The other widely avaliable Hori stick --well before the SFIV hype-- is the Fighting Stick EX2, which is the stock Soul Calibur 4/DOA4 stick. It retails around 60 bucks. You can mod it but it requires soldering for the stick and the buttons are not easily swappable. It's currently sold out in Amazon.

Must... resist... urge to get SFIV.
I don't really have a bunch of extra money right now, since my freelancing has dried up almost completely over the last couple months (2G2D, natch) and I know I would probably just get annoyed with my lack of a) anyone to play against since I know just about no one in town and my modem hates me when I try to sign up for XBL and b) I'd have to shell out another $40 at least for a fight pad.
INSTALLING GAME :hyper
SONG SUCKS ASS, HAD TO MUTE TV :hyper
I was only interested in the anime Blu-ray, but in the end I figured I'd probably watch it once and then forget about it.
The Best Buy near me was like "oh, were not getting it until 2pm", yet when I check the store pickup online it says they have the game. I think they just didn't want to go to the back and take it out :maf
Don't do it Eel. Remember when you said that the $15 you spent on SFIIHD would have been better put to use by wiping your ass? Just sayin

We will never play together.
Want to answer my prior question, though - of all the characters, who has the easiest super to pull off?
PS3 :lol
And lyte, I like playing the game, but I'm not sure I'd like getting my ego bruised!
I wouldn't want to play Lyte, I bet he jerks off when he wins. Kind of like a spastic monkey.
Prove it
Anyone want to play with me? :( Please? PS3? :(
STFU fatty. It's the exact same game.
No, i'm saying the PS3 verison has a controllre that is actually playable.
oh this song is terrible. wtf were they thinking. strike one. :'(
man my thumb is already chewed upSee.
i don't think the 360 would be any better, thoughI agree; they are both terrible. I thought you were going to get a fightpad? If you are on PS3 you can also try getting a Saturn USB pad.
I dunno, the game looks crappy regardless AA or super resolution or not. I mean it animates well, but I'm surprised Capcom isn't doing a Wii port since the visuals wouldn't take much of a hit.
Online is always better on X360, but I can't say I've had any lag playing people on the PS3 even when the bars are low, so it's perfectly acceptable.
but you can set a shoulder button to do those things
Seth is pretty fucking cheap at times, and at other times, he's really easy.
I hate be one of those "shoto scrubs" that people over at GAF complain about, but Ken has always been my favorite character to use. I played some guy online and beat him six times in a row. It's not like I'm good or anything, but I wondered why he didn't log off, he just kept coming at me and getting killed.
i dunno, i'm just not that into it

my friends and i used to play sf2 on genesis quite a bit
Alpha 3 rocked because it had like 8,000 characters which was amazing for the time. Plus the alpha series had a lot of interesting originals like Cody, Gen, Rose, Adon, Sodom, Birdie, Rolento. Even Charlie, like Remy, was a more interesting Guile. Also I liked how Alpha introduced having multiple supers to choose from instead of being stuck with one predictable one. Not a fan of how SFIV went back to one for 99% of it's characters.
SFIV's roster is a good size but too many familiars and Gouken is another shoto. :punch
I just played some nitwit who chose Gouken and then dropped connection after I beat him the first round. smh
He's gotta really nice Ultra too that's pretty effective as anti-air and really easy to combo into. I haven't seen anything really surprising yet, though.

Did you guys get into Street Fighter Alpha 3? I ask because it seems like a lot of people are drawn to SF4 for the "SF2 factor," even though Alpha 3 did the same thing about 10 years ago, having all the characters from SF2, and even SF2-style game play mode settings...
For you guys just getting into this game or back into fighters after a long time, one piece of advice I can give you that will work WONDERS against these "shoto scrubs" is to simply NOT JUMP. Just walk up to them and be amazed as they do endless dragon punches, which you will block or avoid, leaving room to punish them for this over and over and OVER again. It's uncanny that after all these years, some people just cannot fathom another player not jumping into their "invincible" dragon punch.
Am I crazy or is Dan actually decent in this game?
For those of you who've picked up the TE sticks; have they continued to meet your expectations now that you've gotten a day or two or real world use?
havent seen ANY dlc pack yet :(
I'm not that great, but got 420 achievements already, and including the 10 ranked matches in a row. Which wasn't hard.
I like using shoto characters, I guess that makes me a noob. I like Akuma, Ken, Fei-Long and Sakura. Oh and Sagat is cool too, although I'm not that good with him.
you can unlock costumes and new taunts?
Unlocking characters always sucks, but at least you can get the regular six super-fast. Akuma and Gouken aren't too bad either...it's just Seth that's tedious.
I think they should of just had Gouken and Seth (MAYBE Akuma) as hidden unlockable characters, and everyone else open from the start. You already have to unlock titles, icons, personal actions, character colors, artwork, and movies...isn't that enough?havent seen ANY dlc pack yet :(

Hey, you already have 81 wins in ranked, that's great! I think you are beyond noob.
Heh thanks man, although I must admit I still don't think I'm good. I still use 'shoto' chars like Ken,Akuma, Sakura and Fei Long. The DLC pack isn't available in my country for some strange strange reason. Oh well. We should play some matches again sometime ^_^.
I've given up on getting Seth at this point. He's a piece of shit multi-character anyway. I just need Gouken now and there are 50 wrong methods on the internet, so I'm going through the motions and nothing is happening. This is annoying.

The safe, guaranteed way to get Gouken:
-Make sure you have Akuma unlocked AND have completed the game with him once!
-Now pick any character. You can play on an easier difficulty level and at one round (leave the timer at 99).
-Get two perfects and four (three may work) ultra-finishes before you reach Seth.
-Make sure not to lose a round, BUT remember that if Seth or anyone else is being a little bitch, you can always hit start on controller 2 to interrupt the match right before you lose, and when you go back to arcade mode, you will start the match over with no losses!
I did this with Ryu, and did NOTHING but spam fireballs over and over on the very easy difficulty. Getting perfects the first two matches was a snap this way. On easy difficulties, the CPU also falls for his ultra pretty easily.
Seth can be a bitch to get (it took me so many tries to clear the game with Dhalsim alone), but once you get used to his bullshit things get easier.
Just got a message from someone on Live saying that an EB Games near him has raised the price on fight pads to $59.99. WTF?
Am I crazy or is Dan actually decent in this game?
Fuck this game in the ass.
With Ken, I can get two perfects off the bat, and typically one or two ultra finishes before everything goes to hell. The game starts registering regular flaming dragon punches...
Fuck this. I just want to unlock Gouken.

I am having the exact same problem using the Saturn pad. It keeps registering EX Shoryukens instead of the Ultra.
Someone on GAF said that Capcom deliberately loosened and streamlined the command inputs to make them easier to pull off on shitty d-pads. Is there any truth to that?
So why is there no way to just rematch right away when playing online with a friend? :(
Went to Best Buy during my lunch break and they had SFIV up as a 360 demo instead of the usual Rock Band. So I got in line, beat a bunch of little kids' asses, and left the store feeling like a real man. :punch
I was surprised to see a decent amount of people standing around trying to watch what was going on. Made me pine for the days of huddling around and waiting for a fight in an arcade.

Drohne destroyed me. I suck. :'(
I like C. Viper, but I fucking hate her ultra move. That shit has absolutely no range at all and she's completely vulnerable after it misses.
Also, Vega is an annoying motherfucker. I don't know how to fight him. I can't even block some of his attacks.
Has Zangief been super gimped? I can't seem to combo his jumping knee into his SPD or his body slam into it. I mean on the plus side he can focus attack -> those, but my bread & butter Zangief SPD lead ins were jumping attacks :(
btw, Gouken is better than I first thought. Only awful thing about him is his terrible hurricane kick move.
The online community on PS3 is pretty ehhhhh. I tried playing some ranked matches with Zangief and all I fought were shotos EVERY TIME. Most of them have no idea what to do against a big russian walk up to them and throwing their ass over and over, lol.
Ken seems kinda worse than Ryu. I kept having people do their Ken ultras which set them straight to the sky when they missed/was blocked which gave me a free ultra/super/ex SPD when they landed.
how do you play the same person more than once? It kept dumping me back to the search for quick match/custom game menu after each fight.
There's tons of shotoscrubs online. I'm not talking about good ken and ryu players. I don't mind those. Just dudes who heavy jump kick and low heavy kick all day.:rock
If it works, why not.
man, i'm really starting to like guile in this game, though i'm still worried i'm going to hit a wall with him eventually. he's more about pressuring, trapping, and baiting flashkickable ground attacks than his classic sf2 defensive game. i've been spending about half my time with ryu, but for whatever reason my guile is still much betterI'm a guile player as well; I do like the new changes. His new neckbreaking punch is awesome for turtles. I feel that the charge moves a take millisecond more than previous sf incarnations.

I'm surprised that shoto (does that mean new?) fighters don't play as him.
:-\ i reeeeeeeeeeally hate the new Guile. Mind you my time has been limited with the game so far. But things like his upside down RH kick got nerfed.
I'm surprised that shoto (does that mean new?) fighters don't play as him.
Conversely, Ken is kinda garbage. His super is easily interrupted--I know the shoryureppa is his classic super, but it has always sucked--and he just seems weaker, especially his heavy dragon punch.
Okay, so, I've never really played a Street Fighter game before.Yeah, I never seriously learned to play a SF game before this one and I'm loving it. Just make sure that you do the challenges with whoever you choose to play with since you're a noob like me.
Should I look into this?
I know going in that it's going to be a lot tougher to get the hold of compared to, say, Soul Calibur. But I don't know, it just looks so cool.

ok, I'm making Fei Long my main character because no one plays as him and he's pretty crappy, so I have a reason for why I lost, but I'm awesome if I win.
Do you all have pads, or are you playing with the 360/PS3 controller?
360 owners, is it really shitty playing with it?
I've been fiddling with Zangief a bit, and is it just me or is the range for his spinning piledriver way shorter than in any previous SF? It seemed like in the SF2s you could catch someone practically halfway across the screen with it, now I've whiffed it an inch away.
Hah, I am the same way. I used to always use ryu but I am forcing myself to learn cammy and sakura just not to use ryu or ken.
That's sorta why I've been using Cammy. If I win, yay!; if I lose, hey, I picked Cammy.
All the shoto hate has made me really insecure when playing online. After 15 years of Street fighter, I'm only good with shotos, but I don't want to be part of the problem so I'm trying to pick other chars. But I feel like Oro with one hand tied behind my back. (That was a really geeky SF analogy to make.)

Man, the PS3 online implementation kinda sucks. swaggaz invited me to a match, and I accepted thinking it would take me straight to the versus menu like in the Xbox version -- but it didn't do anything. Turns out that I have quit whatever mode I'm playing, go to the Network mode, and confirm a player match through there. Ugh.

Good to know I'm not the only one. It's really hard this time because Sagat (who is the ubershoto) is such a beast. The temptation to pick him is great, especially when you run up against some full distinguished mentally-challenged fellow shoto who just whips fireballs all day.

I always have a hard time searching for matches on PS3. Not finding them. I find plenty of them when searching but whenever I click on one it is already filled. It is a miracle if I can get in one before someone else, making it a waste of time. The only way to get in one is host myself because when I do someone pops in within seconds.Man, the PS3 online implementation kinda sucks. swaggaz invited me to a match, and I accepted thinking it would take me straight to the versus menu like in the Xbox version -- but it didn't do anything.

I have been having major problems playing this online on PS3. I can't search for matches; I get no results. Turns out that my PS3 is registering Nat 3 on its connection test. It's too strict, and I can't figure out how to open my Netopia router to allow for this. Everything we are trying is not working.
I had the same problem with my Xbox 360, but it was a snap to get the nat to open.
Why are they so fucking expensive?
In ranked matches (well, all matches) there is no double blind character select. This means the optimum strategy is often to wait until the opponent chooses first so you can counter-pick. This is a very annoying situation.

Great write up. I agree that some of the stuff like EX Focus Cancelling is way more complicated than it should be and thus far less practical in use if you aren't a master of dexterity. You really shouldn't have had to dash cancel after focus canceling your normal move. Guilty Gear, Tatsunoko don't make you dash after a cancel.
Also I agree with the stuff about links. But then again as long as I don't play high level players who are on the top 1% playing field it's pretty much a non-issue since no one is pulling that stuff off with 99% hit rate.
Thinking I might end up switching my main from Cammy back to Chun-Li. I seem to be having better success against the higher-level players with the latter; it's very, very difficult for me to win against good Guile and now Zangief players with her.Cammy is my main, and yeah I face the same problems against Zangief users with her. She isn't that great and I can use Ryu to greater success than her in almost any situation but I just like Cammy and her play style so much and the fact very few use her so I plan on keep sticking with her even if it means I won't win as much as I normally could.
I hear Cammy's been nerfed :(She is but I don't care, I still use her.
So now that you've had your hand with Cammy, how is she lyte?

Cammy is pretty fun to play as. I'm trying to pick 'off' characters to use mainly and she's one of the ones I use. Fei Long, Vega, and Cammy :rock
I was thinking about Dhalsim just to whore his teleport, but wow, he fucking sucks now. He floats in the air and instead of using the teleport as an advantage, it's now a necessity.
Nerfed, Cammy? Her special moves have insane priority.
As for my picks. I've been playing as Guile almost exclusively in ranked matches, sometimes with some Sagat action in there. In player matches, it has been El Fuerte, C. Viper, Gouken, Sakura, and Boxer. C. Viper is awesome. I need to put some more time with her as her poking and pressure game are top notch.
I need to play a good Guile so I can steal some tactics.
Yeah, I enjoy using the less-popular or just lesser-used characters. Rose is another I want to learn better because I've faced someone using her just ONCE this entire time. I played one awesome Dhalsim player, but found I was able to own him badly with Abel just doing basic stuff. It seemed like there was nothing 'Sim could do against it.
I feel like learning Sakura and Fei-Long.I really like using Sakura, I dunno why. I never did in the Alpha games. She is fun to learn.
Some british kid is the world record holder for 108 straight wins :loljesus :lol
i still can't believe capcom are charging for alt costumes, i always loved unlocking those in fighting games :(
I'd pay to unlock Seth and Gouken - only characters I have left to unlock.
anything but paying but what can we do...i still can't believe capcom are charging for alt costumes, i always loved unlocking those in fighting games :(
It should have been like the arcade version and unlocked as a reward for getting a certain amount of BP. Maybe 1000 would have been good.
I'd pay to unlock Seth and Gouken - only characters I have left to unlock.I asked my friend to unlock Akuma and Gouken for me, too much work to bother.
I was able to get Akuma. Gouken has been tough. I think Abel is the easiest for me to pull off an Ultra with, but getting two opponents K.O.'d with his Ultra without toally dumbing down the difficulty is frustrating.
TE stick got delayed. Now I have to play this 2 more weeks with the 360 controller. :'(

the trick is jumping high kick, sweep the leg, continue until they have little life left, let hem beat you down, then ultra them so even if they block they die.My problem is over half the time I try to pull an ultra with Ryu to unlock him he does the regular version (or a dragon punch) and ends up ko'ing them. It's frustrating.
yep, just fought a match against a Ken player and that chart is right on. And what the fuck is this thing I'm seeing recently? only one round? fuck that

Can you set Ranked matches as 1 round? They are probably achievement wh0resYes, you can set round number and time limit.
The method to unlock Gouken is weird. There's been so much confusion on the internet about unlocking him. I heard that you had to finish him with an ultra and then you unlock. I was skeptical, but I tried it just in case and he was unlocked.
Unlocking Gouken was such a pain in the ass. Seth is worse, though. I really hate unlocking characters in fighting games.
What bullshit - I finally got to Gouken, beat his ass and I don't get to play as him? What the fuck, Capcom! Fuck you!
Also, this game is dying for a more robust online system. The code is ace and the gameplay is fantastic, but no lobbies? No real matchmaking dependent on skill level? C'mon.
That doesn't explain why I (and others) have fought and defeated Gouken without unlocking him.
I'm trying to help you here so please don't mind if I reiterate:
Did you fight against Gouken with a character that you've already beaten arcade mode with? Did you beat arcade mode with Akuma?
Those two are necessary steps in order to unlock Gouken.
Is there something wrong with the game's connection speed recognition or does this sound more like trouble on my end: I haven't played a single person in quick match with more than ZERO bars, but other than a few here and there, they've all ran fine. When I invite a friend into my lobby, their connection speed is usually about four or five bars, other than Willco, who I can't seem to connect to at all ("unable to join"), and the games don't seem to run noticeably faster than a lot of my zero bar quick play matches. what da deal?

Yeah, I'm totally unable to connect with RoboJ - which is totally odd since I am playing Left Coasters half the time with no problems! This seems to be a Xbox Live problem, since we can't chat or join a party either. I reconfigured my router and everything. Totally fucking bizzare.
The only thing I can sort of guess is that since maybe we use the same local ISP (we live relatively close to one another and I gather he's using Comcast), that that is the problem.
A crowd of guys came over to play their PS3 copy in the games area at lunch today; as my friend and I wailed through a Rock Band 2 session to finish up lunch, they excitedly plugged their wired Sega Controllers with adaptors into the USB port on the PS3, and fired up the game, looking forward to some action in the final 15 minutes of their lunch.
...And then the PS3 began its installation-to-hard-disk routine. :rofl
FUCK THIS METHOD TO GET GOUKEN. I KEEP SCREWING IT UP. I love how the computer AI randonly decides to go crazy and kill me, even on the easiest difficulty level.A crowd of guys came over to play their PS3 copy in the games area at lunch today; as my friend and I wailed through a Rock Band 2 session to finish up lunch, they excitedly plugged their wired Sega Controllers with adaptors into the USB port on the PS3, and fired up the game, looking forward to some action in the final 15 minutes of their lunch.

They could've just forgone the installation process. The wait time isn't that bad. ::)
Even with installed I've had to wait long for online matches at times. I wonder if that was because I had installed, but the other guy didn't. I've always wondered how that would end up.
I just played some games against Drohne-- didn't even realize until today that cross-ups can STOP GUILE'S FLASHKICK, WHAT THE FUCK?! Did Capcom have a vendetta against Guile when they made this game? Holy crap, using him must be like a constant uphill battle.
I feel like my Cammy game against Guile just got a whole lot easier, but that's just not right.

Possibly. He was the most overpowered character in SF2 so i guess they wanted to have him be the most nerfed in SFIV. Karma. All that.
Any advice on how to do the charge ultras, ala Bison (Dictator?)
I opened up two more characters tonight, it's all about baby steps but I'm really enjoying the game with my friends. I'm afraid we aren't quite ready for XBL though.
I just got yelled at again. :-\ Folks do not like being thrown (over and over and over and over).
I'm having a little too much fun being a total bastard to shotoscrubs.
It seems that being able to do charge supers super quick is gone. I find that I often still miss it with Chun-Li if I am not holding back long enough.

So is it *hold back 2 sec* tap forward, tap back, tap forward + kick?
Or do I have to press forward for a beat after I charge?
Charging motions are taking a bit to get used to on the fight pads :'(
Pftt.. Try Giefs super. Ive tried the real way and the cheat way and i still cant do it. God freaking damnit.
anyone watch the anime yet? how bad is it?I bought the CE and I still haven't watched the anime--I heard it's terrible. I haven't even watched the prologue and ending movies, even though I beat it with everyone.
anyone watch the anime yet? how bad is it?
So far, online players are dumbfounded whenever I pick Balrog. I love playing as that disrespectful asshole. :lol

I've been switching between M. Bison and Balrog. I love the charge characters. I was also using Chun Li before, but she takes time to learn. I'm trying to figure who else to use. I tried Guile, but I can't pull off his ultra. His and Vega's are the only ultras that I have problems with.So far, online players are dumbfounded whenever I pick Balrog. I love playing as that disrespectful asshole. :lol
Haha, I was playing a certain infamous friend last night, who was clueless as to what to do against him. I think I am gonna switch to beating him down with Sagat to Balrog. :lol
I tried Guile, but I can't pull off his ultra.
got raped in my gaf tournament match. :( i'll be a scrub and blame the 360 controller.

Finally unlocked Seth last night. I don't plan on ever using him, but I did it and got a stupid trophy for my efforts.
Right now though, my biggest hurdle next to ultras are counter-throws. I'm having trouble pulling them off, especially against people like Abel, Gief, and El Fuerte.Is that even possible against those characters who have throws which are special moves?
I'm having trouble with dealing with tic-throws, myself. They are damn quick in this game and players using quicker characters can sneak that shit in with hardly any notice. It's almost better to just eat the throw rather than risk something more damaging. Really gotta be on your toes.

If you think they are going for a tick throw you can jump out of them as an alternative to teching the throw. Of course if they anticipate you doing that...
Hey lyte, do you still play this on XBL? I'd love to play against you sometime in the future and practice with my TE stick. I'm sure you'd destroy me. :P
Nobody messaged or added me. :'(
Those were some fun games, Archie. Are you learning Rufus? I've been messing with him as well; he's pretty competent.
Yeah, I do the same in player matches. Guile is my main.Nobody messaged or added me. :'(
I tried but your friends list was full.Those were some fun games, Archie. Are you learning Rufus? I've been messing with him as well; he's pretty competent.
Yeah I was just goofing off with him. Blanka is my main but I want to learn another character.
GGs lyte. You play a mean Chun.
I just can't compete with Honda. Blanka is my main simply because I am the best with him. He's really boring IMO and I'm trying to learn Rufus. I'm sure you can tell that is very much a work in progress. :P
Finally got this game today. God I suck dick. Anyone in this thread could destroy me.

The official Street Fighter IV blog has updated today and this time around, they have answered a bunch of questions that the users have asked over the past couple of weeks. You can find the original blog entry here, but since it’s all in Japanese, here is a summary of the most important points from the blog. Please note that they often talk about a “title update” in many of the answers, and I can only assume they’re talking about the free DLC that will add the championship and replay modes to the game.
For those who are on using this translation on their own site, please credit Oichi and link to Versus City in exchange for using the translation, thank you.
※When the game gets updated, there will be changes to the base game and characters. What changes will be made is unknown, but the “obvious points” will be addressed. You know as much as I do on this.
※Neither Dee Jay nor T.Hawk will make an appearance after the title update.
※No decision on new costumes for the home version, but during the summer there will be some sort of special announcement. No hint on what it will be though.
※Cannot comment on whether Shin Akuma or Evil Ryu will make an appearance in future updates. Sticking closer to the source language, they state that they haven’t decided on this.
※After the title update, there will be a disconnect rate/ratio shown with every player. However, since there is always the situation that a connection may be very laggy and disconnect by accident, over time the disconnect ratio will decrease. The wording on this is kind of strange, because if you think about it, sure, if you have a high disconnect rate and then don’t disconnect for a long period of time, of course the ratio will go down, but perhaps there is some sort of extra penalty associated with disconnecting.
※No plans for a Mac version of SF4.
※Will announce the release date of the PC version very soon. As a bonus for PC gamers who have waited for so long, they’ll receive a nice surprise with their version of the game.
※Cannot comment on the arcade version receiving an update to include the console exclusive characters, but they would like to add them if they can.
Yes!!! PC version is still coming out!
I guess there's no need for me to hunt around for a 360 joystick anymore.
let's play lyte~
MoxMan, send hook me up with your gamertag if you're on XBL.

Why is that? 360 stick will work with the PC version. I use it on GGPO and it works like a dream.
Ack, sorry lyte, i saw your invite but i was playing with someone. Are you still there? :(
I'm such an asshole to ask you to play and then end up playing someone else. It just kinda happened :'( :lol :o
Hey lyte, when are ya gonna be available to play again? I wanna play someone who can beat the shit out of me.
Playing people with >3k BP is so stressful.
I'd do a tourney (360). Dictator is my main, trying to learn Boxer and Sakura.
I hope none of you are counterpickers. That shit ruined the tourney at my school a week ago.
i'd play in an eb tourney, though i got kind of nervous and played like shit in my gaf hdremix tourney games :-\
actually wouldn't know which character to use if it's got to be one -- my guile and ryu are just about even right now. my abel is...uh...the less said about my abel the better
I don't think we have enough PS3 players here. :-\
I played a fantastic Honda with over 9,500 bp today. If he hadn't have been my very first match of the night, I think I could've taken the guy. Curiously made very little use of the command throw though, even when it suited him to do so - mostly just did a lot of butt drops and a cr.mp -> hundred hand slap combo/string that could eat a ton of bar with chip damage.
The 360-exclusive functionality allows players to download replays from a replay list to their harddisk or memory card for viewing even when not connected online. The Key Display functionality allows players to display key press information, which can be combined with slow motion replay functionality to study the timing of top players.
Ugh, anyhow, I came here to actually ask something (very very noobish and late). It's a bit embarrassing but what the hell.
In all the years I've played SF I've never used charge characters. I've never been able to pull the moves off naturally in a real fight (in-game real fight). I'm always wasting time standing there, waiting for the special move to charge. That's why I never understood the fascination and popularity of characters like Guile and Chun Li.
Now I know that most players tend to input the charge while doing something else (right?) but I can't seem to do it myself :-\. So if someone, who's a Chun Li or Guile expert, can explain how I'd appreciate it.
(How ironic is it that I'm asking this around the same time Capcom announced that PS3 users won't get key inputs in replays? lol)
After all these years, bitches still crying about throws... smh.
http://www.andriasang.com/e/articles/2009/04/17/sfiv_updates_detailed/ - Championship patch details.I dont know why they didn't add youtube uploading for the PS3 version, WTF capcom. :(
Still no lobbies :wtf and PS3 owners get replay VOTING while 360 owners can view inputs of the top players :rofl
Definitely better fights happening in championship mode. It seems to have brought back a lot of the players who either quit playing online (due to the distinguished mentally-challenged players) or had just been playing player matches with their friends, I think.

My brief experience with it last night was the exact opposite; lotta runaway Sagat, lotta Ken, lotta random nonsense. 3 rounds :yuck :yuck :yuck
The few games in Ranked that I played, however, were some of the best online matches I've played since the game came out.
What list, guys? ???
Anyway, might as well ask again: Do we have enough members here interested in doing a tournament?
