Anyway, Network Battle on PSN? Yeah right!
@Cinderkin
So you either want to promote that website or you want to clue more ppl into a contest your trying to win?
I had no idea about "said contest or website", if you want to increase your chances of winning I'd suggest not telling everyone about it.
We really have to look at at a hole in some guys chest now? They couldn't have picked a less disgusting background?
Are they going to zoom in on Zangief's scars next?
Seriously, they both gross me out.
I hope the last month before release isn't just filled with showing us the entire game. I realize I can look away... But save a few screens to make it feel NEW!
I feel like they are missing a real chance to not only steal the show but sell a ton more copies!
How epic would a hidden character have been in the last month before release!
Too bad, still hyped!
(Scar tissue grosses you out but not rufus or half naked men getting in touch with each other
lulz)
@17 Agreed. Endless 2 person lobby is NOT the same.
Also, I agree the screen looks kind of cluttered with PP and BP listed. But I do like the fact they are both shown during the match.
Lastly. Are those titles next to the player portraits, where Player 1 and Player 2 use to be?
Yea Endless 1v1 is not the same as the old one on one lobbies.. I miss them too!
Anyway. I like the new PP and BP shown, because everytime I jumped into a random lobby where the match was going, I never knew if I should stay or not.
Because if some 2000er guys are playing, I'm wasting my time watching it, because they get bodied anyway. So yea I'm happy to see the points. I mean common guys, it's not that difficult to get 4000pp.
@19
not hard to get 3k, maybe, 4k was not easy at all, especially when you main someone like Guy. but I think that will change in AE, most 4k plus I play are all the same fighters Bison,guile, 8million fei longs, and balrog.
i dont understand why anyone would be hype for this. Its a nerfed ssf4 with 2 extra characters.
nerfed depending on who you use, and 4 extra characters*
@25
how many of those nerfs are really needed?? Abel? cammy? bison? honda? Never seen them dominateing anywhere. ANd cut the crap, evil ryu/oni are just varitions of the same crap, NOTHING new. I still cant believe that capcom was stupid enough to add them to the game to begin with. Whos next? retired ryu, family man ken, good akuma, grad school sakura???
They should have changed that bison online picture and added new art to give it more of an updated look but whatever, I want to try out juri so bad in this version =) just a few more weeks left.
@Chickenwings
Lol @ the characters you never see dominating.
But who cares anyway... Adapt and overcome. Many characters got nerfed from Vanilla to super and it was still awesome!
Ryu has gone from top tier to lower mid lol, but I'll never quit. Just have to play/train harder!
And keep Chun as my second lol.
chicken, hop off the whine train for a second , wither or not you like the nerfs, they were done because capcom/testers saw things they didn't like and rebalanced them, hell guy is one of the worse characters in the game and the damage to his bushin flip still got lowered, why? because it needed to be. wither he dominates or not is irrelevant.
also by your logic you should complain about ken because he's basically ryu with attack variations, hell until turbo ken was merely a pallet swap so two people can use the same character. just because they are at the the core ryu and akuma doesn't mean they play exactly like ryu and akuma
especially in Oni's case, he's practically a new character all together
@32
Ok, show me a major tournament with abel or cammy takeing it?
the only one to see a monster nerf from sf4 to ssf4 was sagat and in his ssf4 verison he was still solid enough to use. So many of the ae nerfs look like there taken straight off of gamefaqs and u know it.
sfxtekken cant come fast enough, hopefully its nothing like sf4.
@chickenwings....
Sako has taken Cammy to the top multiple times.
Sako, Alione sensei (spelling) and many others have placed high or won with cammy.
Same could be said with all of the characters you mentioned.
Combofiend, Mike Ross, Andre... And the list could go on and on.
You mentioned characters that are considered some of the strongest in the game lol.
But like I said.... Who really gives a crap?
@38
1 guy wining with a character doesnt make that character nerf worthy, its not like sagat was in sf4 where every other match had him in it. It would be the same like saying adon is one of the strongest in the game just because of gamer bee.
@33
The problem with the changes are that alot of them look like there taken straight from the message boards. Look at the blanka nerf, the ball is already insanely punsihable on block and for some on hit, but they nerfed it MORE. Why? cause somebody on gamefaqs cryed about it. Or wat about cammy? instant cannon strike is unbalanced but rufus gets instant dive kicks along with yun/yany and thats fine? why nerf abels ultra 2 and roll when he needs mix ups? Nerfs that make sense, no problem i can adjust accordingly, but ae nerfs are silly. SSf4 had nothing that was so powerful it needed to be nerfed, all u needed was to take care of the lower half of the cast.
@38: Many others? WINNING with Cammy? When? Sako, Alioune and Sanford are the only ones who used her, and even they switched when the going got tough.
Also, people have been winning with HAKAN and even poor old Gen. It doesn't make them any less crappy.
@38
i know it all depends on one skill, i've seen one or two very good hakan players, i was talking mostly about characters i almost never see online, and those are the oones i like to pick
i mean, i don't like to pick ryu, ken, guile, chun li, bison, akuma, balrog, etc.
but again, as you said, who really cares? i just like to have some fun
I've mained guy for a long time existent, this version of guy is pretty damn bad... the AE verson is a vast improvement though
anyway, @ chicken breathless got nerfed because it was an ultra that took no effort to land and did 500 damage, his roll I don't know why that got nerfed but i don't fight able enough and guy can command grab them anyway.
cammy tiger knees got nerfed because its a special move so not only does it build meter on whiff it also does chip on block rufus and the twins can't do that.
and as for blanka that nerf stops spammers from spamming against characters who have a hard time punishing, making it less safe forces blanka to be more offensive
@21
LOL shut up. I'm a Sakura and Cammy player and it was easy to get 4000pp xD
@THD Master
Are we arguing how many pro players use these characters? I'm sure if I cared enough I could make a list of 10 pro players each that use these characters successfully. But how about online?
Are you telling us that there is a shortage of good M.Bison, E.Honda, Cammy players?!? Ok... I agree about Abel, there aren't many strong Abel players.
But the point is that he's complaining about nerfs to some of the strongest characters in the game!
It's funny though, I personally could care less about nerfs/buffs etc... I pick my favorites regarless.
generally I find AE much more balanced, feels more in the favour of the aggressor rather than the defender, only real characters I'm having trouble against are yun, ibuki and makoto but that's just me lool
There are only 16 players who regularly make top 8 in tournaments. When someone start cracking top 8 frequently ppl start automatically attributing it to character instead of player.
Guile, Ryu, Ken, Viper, Fei, Rufus, Abel, Dhalsim, Zangief, Vega, Bison, Seth, E.Honda, Adon, Akuma, Cammy, Rose and Balrog.
Of that list most of them weren't considered that great until someone started beasting with them. Some of the lower characters do pretty well until they meet a bad matchup late in the tourney. If guys like Vangief and Aquasilk had alternate characters they could use to combat the seth/sagat/chun-li counter picks you would see more Zangief wins.
@mcfizzle: I've never seen ANYONE beast with Vega. If anything, he's even rarer than a Cammy.
Also, yes, Aluppo: there are a shortage of Honda and Cammy players. For supposedly top-tier characters, hardly anyone picks them. Even Cammy, who got nothing but buffs, is still allegedly top-tier in AE, but even Sanford, Sako and Alioune got rid of her.
@chickenwings
Dont forget about ferdi in europe. He dominated holland etc with Abel like all the time, he won almost all the mayor tournaments there.
I feel that having fun playing the game is more beneficial than worrying about which characters are "Too Strong."
I play on PSN and play exceptional Cammy and Honda players frequently. But that's "he said, she said stuff...
Ok... A great example... Rufus, one of the strongest characters in vanilla, high tier in Super, Amazing U2, you NEVER see Rufus online.
Does that mean that he needs no nerfs? So far we've had two great games. Just let Capcom handle the game making and you handle the having fun playing part ok?
@52: You really put that much trust in CAPCOM after all this time? What about their inclusion of the scrub brothers, and their insistence on reviving the series that nearly killed Street Fighter altogether?
Dang this game looks tight don't care about the nerfs abels ultra 2 was to such bull crap it was a full screen grab and had one hit of amour and did 500 damage come on it was wack and u could time it and cancel it damn no other ultra has that ability and did I mention u could mash it out during a block string to make it even more annoying Im just bitching lol I really hate that ultra can't tell u how many times I've lost to it >:0
@53
I do trust Capcom, because they have consistently delivered us the BEST fighting game the market has to offer. You think it headlines EVO because it has Ryu in it? No. If it weren't the best we'd be playing Tekken or KOF. Trust them
I also like Third Strike, there were many factors that led to SF's 10 year absence... None of which mean 3S isn't an awesome game.
And "The Scrub Brothers?", c'mon man. I'm not planning on maiming either one of them, but I'm glad their in and look forward to beating them lol... Would I have preferred Alex? Yes. Am I angry about Yun and Yang? No.
@Darko,
The thing that makes SF great is it's diversity. Different styles, different countries, boys, girls, whatever.
Making stats be across the board would be boring. It's seeing a guy master a little girl named Makoto and beating the crap out of a 7'4" Muay Tai Master that gives the game it's flavor.
On the cover why is Seth missin? o_0

@44
breathless is easy to counter, use and armor breaking/two hiting move or depending on the spaceing jump over him. People got lazy and cryed that why it got nerfed. His roll nerf makes no sense, its easy to throw him out of it or hit him out of recover, again another dum nerf.
Cammys tiger knee is simple to adjust, just make whiffed cannon strikes build no meter. Problem solved.
Dont get me started with the blanka nerf. Its the most punishable move in the game. Im not even gonna list who and what hits it on hit or block cause by this stage in the game it should be common knowledge. ANd they also nerfed his hop on top of the ball nerf. Again this nerf came from people crying on the forums and not takeing the time to actually figure out the game. THink about it, nobody uses him on the a tournament lvl and theres plenty of reasons why.
@57
sakura is one of the only ones that doesnt have anything to hit the ball(along with ken,t hawk, gouken and guile. YEs everyone else hits it on block and some hit it on block and hit). She has a move that can hit it from the air though. I think its jumping forward or roundhouse(she does like a downward kick). It will hit the ball and stuff alot of blankas AA's.
Its dumb that i even have to type that out, people should know this.
@62
def right on that one. The only prob i have with that is that sadly sf4 is the better fighting game on the market. I really hope sfxtekken is good, really i do.
@63
its not a scruby move. Again, armor breaking moves beat it, with good reaction u can back dash it and with good spacing y can jump over it(never nuetral, jump forward over him). If u wanna call it scrubby, well ultras are scrubby in general. Or does fadc ultra make u feel like YOUR dope?
First
cant wait!
