It's launch day in North America and a few other places for Super Street Fighter 4.
My favorite thing by far about SSF4 are the new online modes. Just seems to work... better. The new point systems are really good, separating the player and character points out is nice.
Also, balance changes FTW. Game just seems to be better balanced now, running into a wide range of characters online.
Replay system kicks ass too.
Well im a chun li player and switching over to DeeJay was SUPER easy.... Yeah not the most interesting comment, but they said write down your oppinion! Great fun!
I'm heading to gamestop right now for the midnight launch.
so far I really enjoy the game. small tweaks have been to characters, cpu are much more intelligent but they still use their ultra randombly.. (cammy doing u2 while I was far back in the corner lol)
I got trouble beating honda LOL. He uses more and more his headbutt/overhead has an anti-air than in vanilla...
cpu boxer doesn't just use his dash punches only anymore...
idk, I have been so much used to the attack patterns of the CPUs now they are countering a lot of my moves lol
oh and I hate Ibuki >_> timing her jump when you use a projectile
will soon begin going online to see how it goes
-let the spirits guide you! :D-
the game is perfectely balanced amazingly balanced i do think bison is god like now ... i love makoto and guile is the sh*t and if u play with cody u can bingo all day and get a win i swear
I played it at the L.A. launch party last Friday. I truly was impressed by how much better the game is. Very pollished.
I've noticed two things so far though. Very minor.
- Rufus's original ultra 1 damage is way reduced on the last hit. Good. Rufus is horrible and needed nerfing.
- Even though the game damage has been scaled globally, some characters still don't seem to have benefited much. Namely one of my mains: Rose. I love Rose and maybe I just need to give it time but I'm getting murdered playing as her. She is the kind of character that demands you be patient and precise but her ultra 2 doesn't seem to offer much and encourages you to go on pressure offense with it. It's very risky, it's expensive too. Especially if you have to use it for defense/armor. If not, its a bit of a waste. Her new juggles are cool though. Hope i'm wrong. Any Rose players out there that know something I don't?
- Guy scares me a bit. His target combos are really good, really cheap, and really hard to block. Especially the low ones. Maybe i'm not used to fighting him yet.
I went to Gamestop & they had a tournament. Winner got Super. My brother won. I had already pre-ordered & got Super Thumb Fighters.
http://www.gamestop.com/gs/images/bon...
LOL! They're pretty silly, but kinda cool at the same time. I got Juri & Chun & my bro got Dee Jay & Blanka. It was a good night...
Well, if any body is interested, DarksydePhil is having a launch party on this channel DSPStreetFighter. If anyone is interested here's a link:
http://www.youtube.com/user/DSPStreet...
Went I put this up, he'll not have anything up until the mourning, put trust me, he'll have some stuff up.
Glad to see everyone else has joined the party!
Lets fight like gentlemen!
@HarkMammil (#20)
If you go here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kD9TBy...
and watch from 4:20 as well as 6:48, you'll see some interesting use of Rose's Ultra 2. It looks like it's going to be a pretty viable option against jump ins and the like. Can't wait to see what people do with it.
On topic, I'm very excited for tomorrow. Preorder should be coming, and I can't wait to try out all the new characters. Guy, Adon, Cody, Makoto and Juri, I'm looking at you.
Im dissatisfied, Ono said that "every1 will like thier ssf4 character version better" I don't Ryu has been shafted. His ultra trade is iffy, where others are absolute O_o. Doesnt add up for me, Ken got his thrust kick, but never had it in sf2. Ryu gets a double hit shoryu bcuz sf2. Doesnt add up for me, then there are people who payed 80+bucks 4 sf4. Why do we get the same 11 n 12 costumes as others? Doesnt add up for me, if it's balanced in the tier list shouldn't Ryu be under Sagat regardless. Should'nt he be higher than every1 that was below him in vanilla? O_o. He only got 1 new thing everything else negative, but give Sagat a new freeze time move O_O. Doesnt add up for me, sf4 tier Sagat = 149, Ryu =134, Akuma =133. Doesnt add up for me, SK said, "every1 will get ssf4 same day" some got it 10 days early or earlier O_o. Doesnt add up for me, overall im dissatisfied, and i know capcom don't care how I feel they just wan't our money. 12 bucks for costumes, doesn't add up for me.
I'll be damned if i don't hold a great validity in my words. People seem to have forgotten a many great things. I didn't, and i could go on nerfing ryu bcuz they were afraid if they didn't a majority wouldn't by the game. Mitigating the game for crying children while Ryu fans get shafted. Does!! add up for me they want money. Well they said leave your thoughts so i did I THINK PEOPLE CUT CAPCOM TOO MUCH SLACK FOR THIER ERRONEUS BEHAVIOR, THINKING, AND OVERALL ABILITY. WHEN THEY SQUEEZE EVERY DIME THEY CAN OUT OF YOU. SSF4 SHOULD HAVE BEEN 20 BUCKS FOR 80 BUCK SF4 BUYERS OR ATLEAST MORE THAN 60 BUCK BUYERS. Doesnt add up for me. SO I GIVE CAPCOM A 3 out of 10. I WILL STILL GET THE GAME, BUT WONT LIKE IT!! :( >_<
@JinZo I apologize for not being as smart, and as scintilate as you :(. I hope one day intelligence can add up to me, lol as much as it adds up to you lol.
@THawk i didn't say that, just trying to exhume certain aspects of capcoms inane operations.
I saw the young boss of a retailshop for game or something just installing it on 360 in China, the afternoon at 24th. looks not like a pirate. I charted him and learn he got that on 23rd.
But i failed to come and play it again the next day.
GO!akuma!! or GUY!(after I saw how DAIGO played him).
Well w/e.
Super is awesome and easily one of the most balanced fighters out there. The new online modes are awesome and we still gotta wait for tournament mode.
My only main problem... like it was in vanilla, this game still favors turtlers. Also, everything pretty much was nerfed damage wise - except throws. Expect a lot more throws.
about Rose: she will go up in tiers :p way up :D
oh and her forward dash has more recovery now :(
@40
yeah one of my friends said he battle a viper that was only doing j.HP then grab upon landing... talk about having skills -_-
ordered mine off of amazon.com. Already got my shipping confirmation for release-day shipping ^_^
Can't wait to play after work tomorrow and try out Guy and Ibuki....so rusty though
anyone thats hype and is on psn add me:
Anti-yuu
@43 add my psn bcuz im also vying for the top, im exceptionally skilled with regular ps3 cntrl could easily be give a 9.5 as far as majority online players go. add me cuffg <- psn
TheShotokan,
You are 100% absolutely correct.
We were indeed led to believe that no characters would be stripped of their abilities, rather other characters would be changed in areas where they needed improvement.
The worst example of this is Ryu being stripped of the trade-into-ultra abilites and this being inherited by dudley.
Not to mention the decreased invincibility of Ryu's Dragon Punch.
Unacceptable.
Ryu can live with the trade, but they need to restore the invincibilty frames.
If these scrubs still dont get the message about jumping in, then unfortunately Dudley DP trades and Zangief's U2 will deal with them.
It's going to take a lot more energy off than what Ryu's trades ever did - have fun with that kids. =]
Personally I think this will be MUCH more balanced than 4. Ryu's and Sagats will actually learn what it means to WORK for a victory now,haha. I main viper and dhalsim, can't wait until I get to try Ibuki and Makoto. so glad Dhalsim got the buffs he DESPERATELY needed.
@VanillaSF4 Im glad you didn't miss the mistakes capcom made either, it's a relief, and a rarity to see someone with a brain on these comment areas. Capcom, lol oh CAPCOM PISSING ON OUR HEADS, AND TELLING US IT'S RAIN. DON'T CUT THEM ANY SLACK NOW WE WILL NEVER KNOW HOW THE BEST VERSION OF RYU STACKED AGAINST THE NEW CHARACTERS. I SAY CUT THEM NO SLACK THEY NEED TO FIX RYU NAO!. NO CHARACTERS STRIPPED OF ABILITY RYU WASN"T TOO STRONG PEOPLE JUST WANT EASY WINS BECAUSE THEY LACK RESOLVE. CAPCOM PISSING ON OUR HEADS, AND TELLING US IT'S RAIN -_-
I've had SSF4 3 day before release day and I must say everything is simply amazing. From the online mode to replay...stage to characters, Capcom has done it again. The only thing I wished they had added was an online mode for training where friends can practice together with full super and ultra bar. I've been sleeping late due to this game. It was good for those 3 days not seeing Sagat and Ryu online. The game is very well balanced. Enjoy.
Super is SOOOOOO much better than 4. Its not n=just the new characters but there is a whole new feel about it. I even dont mind when i lose anymore, thats what the game does to u. the music impressed me the by far. the fast beats are sure to keep you tuned into the action and makes you focused better. And all the characters, ultras and tweaks are better than id hoped the would be.
oh, does anyone know what the bonus content is in sf4 if you have super. i know i got the 2 extra colors in super for having sf4 save data, but vice versa what did the put in? im just curious about that. im still not noticing anything
@TheShotokan
Keep posting please, you're making me laugh. English is your second language right? I love how you sarcastically insult your intelligence, and blatantly start finding scrabble worthy words to attempt to show the opposite. This adds up to douchebaggery to me. I love how you trash Capcom as a whole because your bland ass scrub friendly character didn't get put into god tier. This adds up to douchebaggery to me, especially considering that you don't even have the game yet. I love how you constantly repeat the same sentence with slightly different words, and have an overblown sense of self importance. This adds up to douchebaggery to me.
TheShotokan,
I don't think it's going to change though dude.
Some of Ryu's wins quotes make indirect references to the nerfs that these stupid scrubs have cried like little girls about.
Something like "Even with both of my hands chopped off, my spirit to fight will never waiver."
It's obviously intentional to appease these little dicks that continue to jump in like numbskulls.
So to deal with them, just use dudley and trade DP into ultra for 450+ damage or use Zangief's U2 for roughly the same if not more. :]
Thats more of an absolute solution, but I suspect Ryu's EX DP will still be good, and it won't trade...
Which means you'll need to build up 3 EX bars, (1 for the EX SRK, 2 for the FADC cancel), and to build that will most likely mean spamming of a lot more fireballs...
Sometimes they just don't think things through. :]
@ 52
I love it and it definitely the best game of the year to me. but the things i wanted to see were exactly like you said the training thing online. among other things like
-sf2 character select tune but remixed with fast beats
-(this a HUGE one) online tag team play option like in tekken tag
-customizable character option
-charlie and rolento
-more cool music
but i hope we will get something like more characters and costumes via dlc's, just a matter of time. heck i wouldnt mind waiting for another year and paying full retail if theyd at least put the tag team option in
hahahahhaha well put nododgy. I'm pretty sure the whole trade DP into ultra wasn't intentional anyway...... it was moreso a fluke because trading put Ryu back into a neutral stance again, allowing him to ultra. It wasn't like, the "Trade System" or something like that.....
Hastule,
"I'm pretty sure the whole trade DP into ultra wasn't intentional anyway...... it was moreso a fluke"
Really, Explain the trade-DP situation with Dudley then.
lol, well, after seeing the possibilities of trading into ultr in 4 they probably decided to expand off of that idea for the new characters. Sure, Ryu lost that ability but did he really need it? He's such a solid character that trading into ultra was just overkill
@nodogy i see we have a reason why Ryu got nerfed, I see you have intentions of eloping with me, your exuberant demeanor potrays that. I see you lose alot hence your need for dissent. If only you were have as smart as you presume to be. Alligator brained moron, no doubt you warm up to guys easily don't be upset because your failure as a being consumes you. Im sure you're power of mentation far exceeds my own (not possible). Regardless of having the game or not theres enough info to back my facts, such a stupid person you are. Stupid, listen stop worrying about things, and people beyond your thinking capacity, and stay in a baboons place. Oh, and this multiplies to me, or rather it divides idiocy, and fact for me. (i wonder which category he falls to?) -_- stupid.
I'd like to say thank you to Eventhubs for posting all this crazy hype-madness damn near daily. It's really kept the hype train going full-steam.
Also, thanks to everyone at Capcom for their ridiculous fan service in creating and promoting the bejesus out of this game. Thanks to the crazy amount of coverage, I feel like I know Seth Killian better than my parents now.
The wait is over in 5 hours (for me). The hype was half the fun! Thanks everyone for the memories!
haha,spose I'll leave a quick one before I go. As I thought, the full ultra does not connect. It doesn't go to the part where he's like "corkscrewww....cross...the end" with the whole cutscene and everything. It's damage is reduced, unlike Ryu's full hits
@hastule you may not be as stupid as you sound. You just proved my point Dudley's ultra absolute from trade, and amongst other things. I DONT SEE WHY YOU WOULD TRY TO DENY TRUTH, MAYBE YOUR IN DENIAL AS A PERSON? MAYBE YOU FELT WHAT YOU SAID WAS DUMB SO IT NEEDED TO BE RECTIFIED? EITHER WAY I STATE FACTS. DONT BE FACELESS AT 1ST YOU SOUNDED STUPID, IF YOU CAN SEE THE FOREST FROM THE TREES IS QUESTIONABLE.
@ hastule just shut up WHAT DUDLEY DOES AS FAR AS DP TRADE TO ULTRA IS THE EQUIVALENT TO RYU'S FULL ULTRA CONNECTING. JESUS YOU"RE DUMB, UGH DISGUTING LITTLE THING LOL. YOU"RE ACTUALLY GOING TO HOLD ON TO YOUR DELUSIONS LOL. I GOTTA GIVE YOU POINTS FOR GRIT, BUT YOUR STUPIDITY IS BEYOND BELIEF.
I love how they gave juri everyones moves and thought that was not broken.
Chun li's vertical jump hk - check
adons wall dive - check
Dee jays anti air kick barrage - check
her pinwheel has the damn properties of rufus's messiah kick
she has a counter
she is fast as hell
she does tons of damage
everything combos
she can store her fireballs?!? And more than one at that??
Seriously I think we should all main her!!!
@ theshotokan man your annoying. They destroyed ryu so there would be more variatiy when playing online! im so kappy they took away his trade into ultra now all the ryu's are F to the Ucked!
thankyou eventhubs for all the news everyday and ill still be around looking out for teh MVC3 news!
such ashame U.K get the game on friday but im sure i cant wait since i have been paitently since november.
One more thing CAMMY for the win!
TimbocClock Psn for cammy fun! you should add me shotokan seeing as youve sl@ged off the game so much but your still buying it!
@DIERYU im annoying bcuz im right? LOL then i love it regardless of buying the game or not stupid, what i say is the truth idiot don't addle yourself about such small things, and see the big pic. O_O <-- open your eyes shessh some of are really really stupid, but now feel you can crawl out from under your rock now bcuz you feel everything is to your liking, ugh disgusting.
Hastule,
Whether the full ultra connects is irrelevant.
Take a look at the damage.
470 for 1 and 450+ for the other.
Unacceptable.
Until Ryu's invincibility frames are restored and he is bought into line with other characters, this lag switch is going to become very useful. :]
hah, wow so I layed down for like an hour and couldnt fall asleep, thanks to the release of super hahahaha.
Well, Vanilla, there are a few things that do make that relevant. Notice he did a trade ultra IN THE CORNER. I'd like to see that not in the corner and check the damage then. Keeping in mind that ryu could do a trade dp into full ultra ANYWHERE on the screen. Yes, Dudley does still deal a large amount of damage after the trade but keep in mind, as a character, he lacks many things that ryu has, like projectiles, a move to get him out of the corner (like ryu's airborne hurricane kick) and good pokes. It's looking like Dudley might actually NEED this trade ultra to compete, you know? I hope this post was eye opening to you.
this is to all blanka players... like they said the hop forward has less recovery frames so its better to keep the pressure on... his jab ball goes less distance, so its even better, also for keeping the pressure on...
things they didnt seem to get right which they said they adjusted...
he still can swept out of his ball... which is bullsh!t...
and if u hit someone with a ball they can still punish u, which is also bull... how can u get punished after u get a clean hit.... thats ridiculous...
COME THE FCUK ON CAPCOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
other wise im still getting to know all the new characters especially guy and cody... more of guy tho cause he has more verity... but his jump sucks... oh well...
this game is too good its everything you dreamed ssf4 could be
=]
@ 44 i played this cody that only did bingo and destroyed me i had makoto i couldnt dash in jump in nothing bingo is god like
Gettin it after I finish a quiz in class. Gonna pick up my reserved copy today!
Also what's with people complaining about Ryu's nerf?
question for all of those who are complaining about ruy's nerf: what benefit does it give to say the same thing over and over on eventhubs, now that the game is out ?
Pues ya lo tengo amigo,asi que a jugar se ha dicho,cualkiera que quiera jugar mi nic es PSN: Microboy90
El juego esta super chingon y 100% recomendado!!
Yeah, I just ordered my copy of the game today, for the PS3... And I don't even have a PS3 yet. XD
If that's not excitment, I don't know what it is. /o/
And if someone is afraid to suck at this guide, fear not, for I have done a video tutorial of how to pretend you don't suck at Street Fighter: www.youtube.com/watch?v=XOtm2ER_OTA
I've just read damn their every comment posted & the only people complaining are the butt-soar ryu players, whining about their dp trade to ultra. & I ABSOLUTLY LOVE IT. You gotta earn those wins now ryu. See you punk ryu's online !
Physco Punisher!!!
I've had it since Saturday, it's phenomenal...a gargantuan improvement on an already great game.
Getting it after school. So excited...Rose got better!
Firefox says I've visited the EventHubs front page 400 times since last summer when that blurry picture of T. Hawk surfaced. I always figured launch day of Super Street Fighter IV would be the day I stopped checking EventHubs two or three times a day for new information, but now we have Marvel and possibly Darkstalkers on the horizon. Thanks for being a quick source to GET HYPE.
yes finally after playing it after the event, IM GETTING HYPED FOR AFTER SCHOOL!!!!
well finally guys we made it XD if any 1 wants to play matches or team battle hit me up on xbox live hugeratjar is my g tag go fights to all !
@TheShotokan - I see you really enjoy offending people...
Personally, I don't care that the trade was removed. Ryu still has many good set ups for his Metsu Hadouken!
I understand people that you want your characters to be great, but face it: you can't always get in life everything you want... so stop acting like spoiled brats!
Capcom has always been slightly changing characters between the SF editions - and that's good. What's the point of getting everything the same way? It's cool when a move that was weak or useless gets better and you can start using it... or vice versa, a great move gets toned down so you need to learn different ways of using it or find other moves to replace it.
had problems with my pre-order at gamestop...but i got it ordered from wal-mart should be here by wednesday! ill be a little behind but its aight. i cant wait to check out the balence of the game,and start playing with T-Hawk!!!!! but to the community enjoy yourselvs witht the game!!! Long Live Street Fighter!!!!!
I got my game on saturday at k-mart so I've had time to play around. So far the game IS supieror to SF4. It's fun, feels faster, and is better balanced over all. I've notice small touches to the models of previous fighters(they brought back the cowlick sakura had back in her sprite days..that or I didn't notice it before.) The new fighters all play well..except Cody. For some reason he feels weak in this game and I got raped by Cammy...CAMMY! AI cammy hasn't beaten me since I was 5 years old(I'm 20) Makoto and dudely play alot like there tird strike versions(I happened to play sf3 the friday before.) and ibuki plays nice too. I have not beaten it with many characters yet though so I'll pass on an over view for character's intros and endings. all I can say is the intros are still images and the endings are animated and animated decently for the budget they had. However with alll the compliments there is something I miss from SF4..the challenge modes like survival and time attack with various conditions. I really liked that in SF4. If you where iffy on buying SSF4 I suggest giving it a try(weither it be by renting or borrowing from a friend) if you have not played 4 yet...you can skip it and go to super. I give it a 9 out of 10
@shotokan
you cry way too damn much. in case you haven't noticed ryu can juggle with his new shoryuken. after jump m punch and after air tatsu you can regular shoryuken or after a shoryu fadc. now he's not restricted to burning meter to hit after a juggle. stop crying like a scrub and just play. damn people like you irritate me to no end. ryu is still really good so why the hell are you complaining!?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pYU7oG... my reaction to people whining cause they balanced Ryu.
i mean srsly why make it fair ya no. they should make him and sagot stwangor hurrr hurr
@Shotokan
Capcom, you have done us all proud. When a Ryu player is crying because he can't trade into Ultra and he moans at what the other characters did get, and poor ol' Ryu didn't get what sorry little Shotokan wanted. It makes me cry with laughter. Thank you Capcom. From the bottom of my heart.
Dan
It totally adds up to me.
I have to wait till it comes by mail today, I can't wait to get out of school so I can go play SSF4.
@shotokan each is entitled to his/her own opinion but trying so hard to convince the rest of us that we are mindless, blind fools sucked in by the monster that is Capcom just cause we don't agree with your rants over Ryu's nerff or think that such a PHENOMENALLY AWESOME and COMPLETE package as SSF IV deserves the PHENOMENALLY BARGAIN PRICE just cause it is, God forbid, sold as a stand alone retail game....well you make 0 sense to me. I am a Ryu player and i enjoy the game even more now because i don't feel like a complete a$$ each time i select my main
I got my game already... it's AWESOME!
Feel free to add me if you wish to face me in battle.
Xbox Live: DestinyZX
@Bronn #28;
Thanks for thr Rose info! I see she's better but it's still an uphill battle foe me. I'm just so used to characters that trade damage to win ( like T. Hawk).
@ Shotokan. Relax man, at least you will always have Ryu to play. I wanted Elena in the game. Maybe as dlc I will. You know what? I really want to play your Ryu. I bet you are good. What's you gamertag?
Oh and to all you Abel players out there, how happy are you about Abel's new ultra? Man it's good! Abel better in general too.
Abel question -
how exactly is Falling Sky better? I didn't notice a big difference at the L.A. launch party.
I've had the game for about 5 days now, biggest change I think ppl will notice is the damage output for all characters seems a lot lower. This leads to longer and more fair matches for the most part. The new online modes and replay channel are godlike. Get this game now!
@MikeChua
once you activate your ultra, press either L,M or H to change the angle of attack.
Since I live in Sweden I have to wait for an extra f*cking 5 days (original release day 30th) because of the ashes from the icelandic volcano ashes blocking scandinavian traffic! It'll now be released on the 5th of May...
Oh the wait! I guess I have to do my homework now... >_<
@VanillaSF4 Dude ur such a douche bag Dudley just like Balrog need to work to get in close while Ryu had that lazy dp to ultra projectiles and Hurricane Kicks to zone and has crossups. Dudley doesn't have the spam option like ryu he needs to play careful to do big damage like that also ryu new ultra has more damage than most ultras and can combo it by doing crossup then cr.mk then hadoken then fadc to ultra and it hits clean so you get good damage. look here to see what I mean http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AoCOy6... go to 9:10 to see him hit mestu shryuken clean. <__< I feel ryu is where he should be plus Balrog and dudley are my mains so I have to back up my favorite boxers lol.
hahaha @ shotokan
whoever mentioned the scrabble wordplay was 100% correct.
it's one thing to be able to flow with an impressive use of vocabulary. It's just laughable to force words when they are unnecessary. It just makes you look like you have a chip on your shoulder and have to compensate. All of that coupled with complaining (In Caps no doubt) when they just released a new game (that the majority of us are going to highly enjoy) because they took out one or two of your bread n butter routines. Get used to it and try to make the best out of the game. I for one can NOT wait another second to get out of work... this is Torture!
swooped it up and midnight and played for a little bit. Messed around with Adon, Ibuki, and Juri and completed most of their trials. hopped online and played against akumas and kens. go figure. cant wait to get off work, so i can play so more. it doesnt help on running on 3 hours of sleep though. *sigh* but yeah, lovin it so far.
@shotokan
Out of all seriousness I really don't see the point in griping. Characters in fighting games get tweeked all the time. An example of this is MY main from Tekken Asuka. Some of my favorite combos don't work in 6 like they did in 5 and vise versa. So I adjusted to these changes and I STILL can dominate with jer. Actually even when Sakura was how she was in SF4 I adjusted and made her my own in SSF4 they made her better so I just learned her new stuff
I am so ready to get Super Street Fighter 4. I've been
studing every move since vanilla Street Fighter 4.
I love this game.
@shotokan
dude, it's just a game. "I THINK PEOPLE CUT CAPCOM TOO MUCH SLACK FOR THIER ERRONEUS BEHAVIOR, THINKING, AND OVERALL ABILITY?".......Its only a game, and your dropping ERRONEUS on us? wtf? if you really dislike the changes and the company so much, DONT BUY THE GAME!!! problem solved. i respect your opinion about Ryu, and I feel you on being upset about his nerfs, but ya gotta let it go, man. Adapt and Adjust.
so yeah, I mean it's only day one and IMO Ibuki is more challenging to use than Viper (main). Although, coming from a viper background sjc'ling was a cinch. Ibuki's definitely gonna be a work in progress (a long one at that).
and to whoever's complaining about the Ryu nerfs,he's still a great character. I mean he's RYU for goodness's sake. maybe, that person's strategy entirely involved around DP trade-ultra?? hmmmmm....i think so.
I just got my copy today. overall the game is pretty solid. however, one issue I have is the freakin waiting I have to do online! Damn I hate waiting for my turn. Especially in endless battle mode, when once I lose then it's back to the end of the line for me. I like the championship mode better in SFIV where yo just have to wait and/or find another player then it's off you go and start fighting. The main issue I have is the damn waiting! The "search time" for players also is slower in my observation.
I've played it for couple of days, and of course I love it. But Ryu can still link his first ultra with DP, and since I'm a Ken player since SFII, I was looking for his new ultra that could supossedly link with DP focus cancel, BUT YOU CANNOT !! Did someone how to link his second ultra ? Except with an ex fireball cancel focus... Ken doesn't seem stronger from what I've seen so far. And with the new characters and the ups for the other ones, it'll be hard to compete :-S
@160
This site had a vid up once showing Ken comboing Ultra 2 from Ken's normal fireball FADC, and linking from a far jab (though this one was only shown on a big character and in the corner, so it may be situational).
The game is freakin great!! everything seems all good so far, i have nothing to complain about. Except the fact that Abels second ultra is too god damn invincible, that shizz is too strong and its a grab hahaha! the new characters are great and the new online modes are fun! i like the replay channel, Job well done Capcom! oh but one thing that really irritates me, is the main menu background with ryu and ken....thats a little bit too close. but on account of everything else....SWEET GAME!!
Thanks eclipsekirby, I'll try that out. But still, a fireball FADC isn't the easiest way to put an ultra :S. Still loving the game though ;)
lol @ the people arguing. i think they nerfed sagat nasty, but at least its balanced. Dudley has taken over ryu's juggle capabilities, sounds like hes gonna be the new top tier/overused character of the game -__-
hope guile and dhalsim got the buffs they needed!
cant wait to play this game!!
GOT MY COPY! Very, very pleased.
I traded in SFIV with no remorse.
Little touches like characters saying unique things to each other for their first attacks depending on who they're fighting is great.
AHH! "Good **** Capcom" just like the Team Spooky Stream said. Normals are def. faster, don't mind walk and jump speed staying the same, I found I could link easier with Sakura, and well-I haven't even begun to play /w the new chars/online yet. The balancing on Seth is delicious too.
And Color 12 is badass.

Not a necessarily a complaint per se, more just an observance but...On the title screen Ryu and Ken look a little... umm..... yyyyeaahh.....
So far as I've played (Maybe 3 hours), all I can say is the game feels a lot harder than it did before. I used to win 6-7 out of 10 games easy...now I'm down to like 3. Nobody seems too over or underpowered so far but it's hard to tell so soon.
@173 you get that option whrn you finish the game with any character, dont worry
my only complain about this game are the counter ultras, they never work, i really wanted to see a great new ultra for cammy, well, the first ultra is teally good so i will have to do with it
Plain and simple, this game is better than SFIV in nearly every way for an unbeatable price. If you can get pass a few thing like Time Attack, Survival and the Galleries being gone, this is a must buy. And so what about damage reductions, it happened to everyone. Longer matches mean more fun.
I miss Infestructable!
And where are the player matches to chillax? Or what took its place now?
indestructible*
Sorry, brain is all not good right now, been playing all day.
Damn! this game is AWESOME! Online mode is truly steps beyond vanilla sf4. I'm liking the option for "same region" settings, mean the online match doesn't get laggy most of the time like in Vanilla SF4. Thanks Capcom! This game truly is polished in every way from SF4!
i know this is off topic but in arcade mode if you clear it all perfect with no losses atfter you beat seth you fight shin akuma. it happened to me twice. he was WAAAAAY faster and before match he jumped in wearing a PINKISH/PURPLISH gi (the one shin akuma wears in alpha). if thats not enough at the start of the match he jumped and fired TWO zankuu hadoukens with NO meter.
LOVE this game. I've been playing it nonstop since I have gotten it. I totaled 27 hours time play already! Jeez I need to get laid.
