Updated: Super Street Fighter 4 Tournament DLC out now

nigga finally got here

Cant wait for this.
Will this updated 12am Jun 15th on XBL?

• Counter hit damage on M. Bison's (Dictator) Ultra 2 was too low.

Whats that mean?

When you get a counter it, it's not just a title, it means that you do an extra 1.5x damage with that attack or something like that. For Bison's U2 it probably didn't add that.

Thawk when you counter hit with ultra 2 it was less damage than the normal lol

The Xbox and PS3 releases of Tourney Mode will be on different days?

@NRR

Xbox stuff goes up on Tuesdays, PSN gets updated on Wednesdays. Just the way these companies have set up their networks, not anything done by Capcom.

Rufus ultra 2 is still the same?
PC next?

@yes4me

It's possible there are some stealth patch elements, but this is what has been confirmed by Capcom so far.

I was hoping they would increase the damage for Chun li's 2nd ultra.

Wow...Whats the incentive for playing this mode other than for fun ???? All you get is a Trophy for winning the Tournament,thats it ???? No Grade Points,No Championship points,nothing to show for your achievments,just a Trophy.How about something rewarding for a change.

Points are useless anyway, I'm going to play this mode exclusively from now on.

I don't need an incentive, playing in a makeshift tournament is good enough for me.

Is this the final DLC content for this game ????

I just wish I could improve on this game. I want to know who would be best for me to play as. I really want to go to EVO

@#4 I believe it's 25% extra?

Anyway, the issue with Bison is that it was dealing LESS damage than non-counter, 25% less if I recall correctly (it's easy to test in training mode, just enable counter hit and attack data). It will probably do standard damage regardless of counter status, as none of the ultras I tested (in vanilla, several months ago) were affected by counter status.

@ Biowulf ...It just makes the game feel stale,just like team mode hardly anyone plays it,but I guess a trophy is better than nothing.

I hope they patch up online play,this netcode still sucks just like SF4,If they messed up the first time with a bad netcode,why would they mess up again ????? Matchmaking is horrible....Again.Online play should be the focal point of this DLC,then Tournament mode.

@ RA_MO

Picking a popular or "high tier" characer won't improve your gameplay necessarily, finding a character that's suited to your style of playing the game is a much better strategy. After you make that decision, complete that character's trials as they serve as training for basic to bread and butter combos.

Dare to pick neglected and "low tier" characters, they're generally more fun to play if more challenging.

I wonder if they plan on fixing the voice chat on PS3... whenever more than 2 people have headsets, the audio chat stutters like hell.

I think they should allow you to arcade request endless matches.

I think they just need do what #20 & #21 said and also tweak Chun-Li's absurd move recoveries as well. I forgot to mention they need to fix the quick match option as well (It doesn't even work).

@21 hell yea! and if they do that, they should add an option to find certain-sized rooms... forget spectating for 20 minutes if you lose in a larger lobby. I miss vanilla.

Their net code is good, but their interface design and workflows are downright shameful... they could do a lot of small tweaks to make a really enjoyable experience...

- Add a rematch/character change interface in 2-player lobbies... you waste 90 seconds going back to the lobby only to select the same characters and same ultras over again.

- The team battle lobbies are a joke... if 2 guys are waiting in 1 lobby and 2 guys are waiting in another, they may never find a game, but are perfectly suited to be "matched" up.

- You can still do ranked matches with 1 round @ 30 seconds... why?

- You can't change lobby settings after the lobby has been created... you can't close slots or anything... if you find someone you want to have a bunch of matches with, you have to recreate the lobby or be forced to kick people who join.

- The replay management interface is just... sad. It's nice they have it, but it's clunky and feature-less.

- Whose idea was it to just shovel random crappy replays on people. They obviously have the data available, so why not let me find replays of top-ranked C. Viper.

/rant.

Just so everyone knows- the update will likely be out between 4am-7am EST.

Why does the winner in team battle get to stay on?

PC Version asap please!! thank you!
PC FTW.

They need to include an option to "PASS" if you're up next in Endless Battle and you want to let the next person in line play instead. Right now, you have to wait like a whole minute til your name blinks out.

Someone practice with me! lol.

Points help to a certain extent, because more often than not, the low point or ranking people are pretty scrubby.

im ready...are you?

I thought this was coming out June 21st? At least that is what SRK is reporting....

Well if low tiers are more fun to play with.. give me a few that you guys would recommend for me thanks

@32
Sakura, Rose, Chun-Li, El Fuerte. They are real fun to play was, the first 3 are my mains and I love kicking Shoto-ass with them.

*to play as

Very frustrating that Capcom still does not fix the netcode in this game,this game needs a better netcode.Tired of dropped inputs,lag spikes, delay of game,and dropped connections.When wil they fix this game online ......when???

I guess I will look into them. Thank you. Remember all. All choices you have in mind are welcome and if there are no more, I guess Chun-Li's choices are the best by default lol

@33

I hope you weren't implying that Chun Li is a low tier character...

HEY EVERYONE IT'S ALREADY UP ON PS3 THE TOURNEY PATCH IS ALREADY UP GET IN NOW!!!!

Please fix Hakan's overlapping moves... Oil Rocket comes out with a quarter circle motion at very unwanted times...

It's already here follks. playing it now. saw the update when i went to go load up.

Now I must really improve if I am to ever be a pro one day

^_^ So excited

Ps3!! Ftw playing

Still waiting for PC version :(

@37
Eh, Kikosho is really helping her but, honestly, I think she still has yet to have solid ground on the higher tiers.

....

why no points??????
why animation of the damn slots so long?
Why you have to check others match...?

Capcom are noobs for online gaming..

They should've also added a `Rematch`feature on a non-existing `Player match`feature..

I'm so disapointed.. This tournament thing is same as Endless battle but with a trophy picture in the end..
Congratulations.....Can't wait to collect the titles :(

Vanilla SF's online was better ?

Yeah, I just signed onto PSN and got the update when I played SSFIV. The download took like 1-2 minutes if that.

no rankings...

@44 but she is certainly not low tier.....

Why is not like vanilla tournament with ranking, that was insanely fun and exciting. This DLC = crap

they need a search feature in the replays, i filter all the battle logs and see all chun li, i dont want to watch CHANNELS.

they need a search feature in the replay section to search up specific characters. like a filter on the battle logs so i can see only see chun li fights. i dont want to watch CHANNELS with some guy i dont know and discuss the match.***********

Can't join any friggin sessions for some reason. Even the few tournaments i've managed to get in have never finished because disconnections and crap. It's not worth it today at least. Maybe the connections will work better tomorrow. idk whats going on maybe its just me.

a full 8 player tourny lasts like half an hour..
Matches should occur simultanously wtf?
Can't understand what they were thinking

I almost won one... *sigh* I guess I have to try harder next time.

@55 "matches should occur simultaneously"... holy sh.... they don't?

What about the avatar items?

I wanted to do fix the Ultra II to Akuma =(

Tournament Mode is awful. Where is Championship Mode?

is the new mode out on the 360 yet?

we need to start a petition for championship mode

I like what everybody suggested above, CAPCOM please listen.

I loved championship mode! I would be so happy if they brought it back. I'd sign any petition for it that came up.

I have a ps3 and i'm on the east coast.. i download tournament mode about two 1/2 hrs ago. its pretty cool, for right now the only down side is when some when has a weak signal /connection there is a very bad lag durning the matches,viewing or playing.other then that. its cool. a new mode.i like that. did then do the patches on ibuki and the unblockables??????

Wow people want championship mode?

Does anybody realize it was just ranked mode except it was harder to lose points?

I have a ps3 and i'm on the east coast.. i download tournament mode about two 1/2 hrs ago. its good stuff, for right now the only down side is when someone has a weak signal /connection there is a very bad lag durning the matches,viewing or playing ,and most of the time your kick out do to host leaving...other then that. its cool. It's new mode to keep the hype up.i like that.Where the patches on ibuki and the unblockables fixed as well??????

Doesn't Capcom try this sh*t out? Do they not sit there and think 'man this is mad slow, maybe we should speed it up'?

@67

Unlike Ranked Mode, Championship Mode was a matchmaking system with a fixed set of rules, i.e. no 30 second rounds. Lack of point loss just meant that you weren't punished for using a low tier or secondary character. Boosting was impossible in Championship Mode as well because of the bracket system. It was the far superior matchmaking system.

Guy needs a patch? really?
----------------------------------

What don't you get that they are fixing bugs, not buffing characters? The bug let you COMBO into a throw on Guy. Which should be impossible in any circumstances.

@ #67

Do you realize that in Championship mode you could win championships? Every round you fight a better opponent, that's a challenge.

played on tournament mode quite fun actualy :D

There is another thing that they updated with the patch on PSN, IDK about Xbox Live though. U can see what mode ur friends r playing on ur list. After the title of the game, ull see the mode in parenthesis. Kinda like how MW2 was.

Just wondering... Is fight stick difficult to pick up?

Lol at people complaining about something free

@74.. thats already in the 360 version...

I agree with some people here.....
Bring back Championship mode !!!!!!!!!!
This mode seems pointless,its like endless battle,but hey if u win u get crappy trophy,instead of points.
What goes on now ?????? Is Capcom getting lazy ????? Im not one to whine,but come on now.Id gladly pay for more stages,more costumes,more modes,more characters,but Capcom does not seem interested in these ideas !!!!

I realize that what they *aren't* doing, at least at this time, are buffs/nerfs beyond fixing glitches, and I'm fine with that for now.

Should they ever get around to buffing the weaker characters, I have but a single request - Hakan should start the round oiled up.

DAMN YOU CAPCOM HOW DARE YOU GIVE ME A FREE UPDATE!! lmao stop complaining just dnt play tournament mode problem solved

I've won 4 outta 5 touraments ive been in on psn and I haven't gotten any titles yet....Is there a certain amount I have to win to get these special titles?

This is like watching people comment on the article that they are trying to log into Facebook.

Tournament mode was meant to emulate the experience of playing at the arcade. Instead of playing your matches simultaneously, you watch and chat about the current match. Instead of collecting points, you get the title of champion.

Pushing for the social aspect of arcades into the game is Capcom's way of attracting staunch arcade players in Japan. They relented with the arcade version eventually but development was already well on the way. Grinding championship points just didn't fit into the arcade concept.

I hope to see more support for more players, team tournaments in the future and even double eliminations.

WTF! I live in London and I don't have the update!
Anyone knows when Europe can get the Download ?
Capcom YOU SUCK!

the PSN updates add status under your name in friend list
example
SUPER STREET FIGHTER IV [ NETWORK BATTLE ]

it was on xbl now on psn too

Europe - XBL - Available

bring back championship this is ok[tournament]but i for one liked the grade system

Available in u.k psn.
Netcode is pretty good in ssf4,if both players only using connection on their ps3 and nothing else.
The funny thing is i hear scrub this scrub that,but when they finally get a player that is good,the only way they can beat them is by scrubbing the players connection so he has no block no combos and has to play 1 hits mostly hk and hp.

its decent. besides its free. if you want points play the rank matches. also the bugs have beeen fixed so its decent. maybe a team tourney match would be better.

@#84
Chat with angry kids and watch 7 matches out of 8? That's less than 10% of play!
Tetris will end up being more exciting. I should get an appointment with my shrink for my ADD medicine!

Sounds like ranked is the only "competitive" choice with absolutely no matchmaking/rules... Ugh. Go endless...

I'm really pleased they've done this but can't help think that an offline version would be more awesome, a la the mode in the old Super Street Fighter or even the one in Smash Bros. Melee ( I know, dirty words... ) which could handle huge numbers but you couldn't switch characters.

I hope, like some others have said, that this is the first step and they plan to expand on it in the future. It would be great online but I would really like to see something included for offline as well.

^^
I shouldn't get up so early... so that's 8 players... 1 match out of 6 - 16% of play.

People stop complaining. Be grateful it's not like we are paying for it anyway

That's the funniest argument... YES we DID pay for it. The consumer SHOULD bitch about the products he bought if they are not up to the level of quality they should be.

My opinion after playing 2 tourns.
1)I don't know if it's just my connection or something. I can't seem to get in alot of to tourns, EVEn when I can clearly see that the room is half empty.
2)20 to 30mins for 1 tourn with 8 players? why? because the tourn is not going on simultaneously. why?????

I personally think tourn DLC does not meet the hype. It does NOT add anything new to what there is no, just a more tedious team battle with a different look and ofcourse more frustration to sit and sit and wait and wait because it's not going on simultaneously. It should have been included with the disc.

I would prefer a 4 player ENdless battle anyday over this.

btw, have they patched the games yet? or the DLC from yesterday is just the Tourn Mode itself?

thanks

Won my tournament the first time I played. It only took 30 dang minutes to win. WTF?

3 Matches in 30 minutes is not fun.

It was waaaaaaayyyyyy more waiting than playing. I hated sitting there and watching my opponents play. DUMB!

They should have the brackets run themselves at the same time. I can't remember but I think HDR did this and the tournaments ran much faster.

Yeah the brackets ran themselves in hdr until you were eliminated at which time you could watch the remaining tourney.

what a waste! i played this mode once, thats all i need. waste of time and disk space. GG capcom you suck balls.

lawl @ GG capcom

Why r u guys mad that they r fixing bugs and giving u stuff for free.

I think a little incentive to play this mode would be worthwhile...like if you win a certain amount of championships u get one of the downloadable costume packs...

If Capcom did that, the lobbies would be on fire!

*another great idea from JerseyFame*

Even if the brackets were played simultaneously, I doubt anyone would actually enjoy tournament mode. What you really should be telling Capcom is that you don't want to socialize online and you only want to grind out points. You only need other players because you need them to lose to you.

omg.. am i the only one here who ENJOYS watching other people play? I mean come on.. if u want to fight all the time the Tournament Mode just isnt designed for u, just shut up and go play ranked or endless with a 2-3 men lobby..

but there are also friends who enjoy playing together and also like to play "competively" without using imagination in endless mode. Tournament Mode is just a little competition without the pressure of losing points or whatever

Bleh... Tournament mode sucks. it's just like endless battle for some reason. I played it once today and I find no incentive in playing the mode any longer. @ 100 JerseyFame has a nice idea going on. Capcom should give tournament winners special free downloadable contents like free costume packs instead of lousy trophies.

Yea yea I know it's a free DLC but c'mon, this better be just a small step towards something much better in the future. I agree with the others, Capcom should expand on the tournament mode and what not and offer some real incentives in the very near future. Otherwise, It's a close to useless addition in my opinion.
