Street Fighter IV

[Mockery]

Has anybody seen this yet?

http://www.gametrailers.com/player/26535.html

The animation is pretty badass. Their faces could look a lot better I think but damn, that's still a nice trailer.

[Zomboid]

Fucking awesome. I was looking online for info about street fighter 4 last night when I saw the absolutely horrible movie on tv. I can't wait for this.

[Chojin]

STREET OKAMI 4

But seriously, how about a few seconds of what gameplay is actually gonna look like? And if that's an approximation, I thought Capcom had learned from EX?

[darkvare]

i cant see it cause of blockage is it 3d or 2d

[Supafly345]

Huh, where is the videogame in that trailer?

[Angryhydralisk]

Teaser trailer indeed. If the game looked like that, it'd be kinda trippy.

[Emu]

I don't typically keep up with the Street Fighter series but I remember playing like 10 of these on the SNES a decade ago. How are we only up to 4?

[Guitar Woman]

Because that was Street Fighter ALPHA ZERO MEGA SUPER AWESOME EDITION 2: X

[noob3]

because unlike games similar to halo, street fighter rehashes come with new words most of the time instead of the new numbers

[Chojin]

That makes things MUCH less confusing!

Also, what? Halo has Halo 1-3, Street Fighter has 1-3.

[Guitar Woman]

And street figher ALPHA and street fighter TURBO and street fighter ALPHA TURBO and street fighter MEGA TURBALPHO ANNIVERSARY EDITION 5 ASKL;DFA;SLKDJGASDGFAS;LDFASDG

[noob3]

halo does not have halo alpha 2 or halo 2 turbo is what i am trying to say ;_;

[Angryhydralisk]

Halo 2 Super Turbo Extra-Teabagging edition

[Chojin]

Halo isn't old enough for that. However, it does have its plot broken up into tons of books, and now supplemented by Halo Wars.

[Supafly345]

I am pretty sure Halo will have no more numbers if they make any more though. It'll probably go the GTA route and have like "Covenent Tales" or something.

[Max Radical]

I'm really looking forward to this - Street Fighter III Third Strike proved that Capcom could actually get over the "Street Fighter Photocopier" syndrome and improve upon the best 2D fighter there is.

The teaser shows nothing but "Yes, we're making another" and "It might be different!" That's damn good news already. I'll just have to chill and wait for the rest.

[MetalMilitia]

Street Fighter 4: Official sponsors of Photoshop filters.

Despite that it does look pretty cool.

[Chojin]

http://kotaku.com/338848/street-fighter-iv-in-motion-just-the-gameplay

Judging from the comments, it looks like I'm not alone in thinking that this looks really strange.

[Dr. Boogie]

The only thing I saw that looked strange were the facial expressions. Other than that, it just looks like they made the 2D fighter 3d.

[Chojin]

It's not like someone's face is UNIMPORTANT OR SOMETHING

I would make a joke here but it is past my bedtime

[mew barios]

ill be disappointed if there isn't an onscreen explosion every 3 seconds in the finished product

[ZAKO the GREAT]

http://www.fightersgeneration.com/games/sf4-3.jpg

hope it's not another game like the EX series

[Guitar Woman]

Why'd they take completely ridiculous screenshots like that

[Zomboid]

Yeah, instead of action shots, they should've shown their pre-fight poses.

[Chojin]

I was gonna say - those screenshots are better than most of the actual movies they showed.

I kinda appreciate the new art style, it just feels like it's inappropriate for this series.

[soundtest]

Loved the 'ink splash' trailer, but I'm not so sure about the actual in-game footage. I don't like the character designs. I'm not saying SF4 should be all anime, but the designs are too Western for a SF game in my opinion. Also, style aside, the graphics are not very good. Actual gameplay looks fun though.

That said, the Capcom producer guy said the game is only like 10% finished or whatever so hopefully this will change.

[Zomboid]

omg soundtest :O

[MattJack]

Christ I want this game to be out.

Right.Now.

[darkvare]

go to japan and play the arcades matt

[MattJack]

If I went to Japan, playing SFIV would def be one of the top 3 things I'd want to do

I hope they release this for christmas, i've been a good boy :(

[darkvare]

i wanna play as chun-li i wish the console version had extra costumes like chun-li's alpha suit :love

[MattJack]

i was never really good with her, but I wish they had Sakura ;_;

In the tag based games that had SF in it, I'd typically have Sakura/Zangief. Feelings would constantly get hurt

[darkvare]

yeah sakura is cool but her diagonal hadouken attack took my life more than once

[Phoenix Gamma]

i was never really good with her, but I wish they had Sakura ;_;

I believe Sakura came in second in the Capcom poll, first place being Cammy, so who knows?

I prefer Ibuki myself, just because ninjas are rad. Sadly, she didn't do so hot in the polls. This is why more people need to play SFIII Third Strike.

[darkvare]

ibuki really sucks as a charachter she has good desing but otherwise she sucks
oh and by the way
http://www.gametrailers.com/player/usermovies/253699.html
AKUMA!!!!!!

[Phoenix Gamma]

She was overpowered in the second version, IIRC

[Angryhydralisk]

Why is Akuma getting dominated by a French guy?

Still cool he's in, though.

[darkvare]

cause is in extra easy difficulty i guess

[Duct Tape Ninja]

After looking at the gameplay footage i feel that it's just too cartoony from when i first played SF2.

[bigtimecow]

really? i think it looks exactly the same, just brought up appropriately in 3-d

[Phoenix Gamma]

After looking at the gameplay footage i feel that it's just too cartoony from when i first played SF2.

http://www.rvgfanatic.com/mediac/400_0/media/DIR_590301/DhalStretch.JPG

So real.

[soundtest]

Anybody else check this out yet? I played it in Tokyo a few months ago and to be honest, I wasn't impressed. I don't know what I was expecting really, but it left me a bit underwhelmed. Other than the graphics, it didn't seem to offer anything new. The camera also seemed to stick to the 2D plane a lot more than in the gameplay videos I watched. None of this is bad (in fact, it's exactly what I wanted), but it's also nothing to get excited over either.

That said, one cool thing was that the cabinets at the arcade were networked, so a challenger from somewhere else in the arcade could join in at any time and decimate me.

:domo

[Zomboid]

It's not out here yet, is it?

[darkvare]

comes out in february in the mean time fei long, gen, sakura, cammy and dan have been confirmed and honestly i hope the rumored rose makes it too

[Jeff The Ninja]

Also, according to some guys who work at my local EB. They are releasing some arcade sticks and 6button "saturn style" controllers.

Im hoping for a ton of downloadable characters. Wishing they would just put in ALL the characters. Just for a Hugo vs Zangeif, Balrog VS Dudley, and Guy VS Ibuki. Those would be sweet matches.

[Angryhydralisk]

They've confirmed 25 characters for the console. Basically the original 12, the four new characters, the two bosses, Akuma, Sakura, Gen, Rose, Dan, Fei-Long, and Cammy.

[Durrsomething]

Game should have some more characters from SF3 like Ibuki, Elena, Yang and his brother, Oro, and Q along with some EX characters like Skullomania, then we can have the whole SF family in the game

[Jeff The Ninja]

Skullomania

How about we go all out and include Final Fight and Rival Schools. Shoma Sawamura VS Haggar anyone?

[darkvare]

i just want guy from final fight

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

How about we go all out and include Final Fight and Rival Schools. Shoma Sawamura VS Haggar anyone?


Batter up!

[pac-man]

The roster they've got is fine, just release the fucking game already.

[Girl Drink Drunk]

How about we go all out and include Final Fight and Rival Schools. Shoma Sawamura VS Haggar anyone?
How about we just rename the game "Capcom Tournament Fighters" or some shit like that, and include all the characters from every Capcom fighter or beat-em-up :rolleyes:

[Nick]

Didn't Capcom have some game like that planned, but canceled it?

[MattJack]

Woke up this morning and got my copy.

Come get you some on Xbox live bit*hes

[Zomboid]

I'm not at my place in the city right now, but as soon as I get back there, IT'S ON!

[darkvare]

noooooooooooooooo mine is not here yet :( some one needs to die >:

[MattJack]

Sam and I played. We are about wut n wuttt

[Zhukov]

I tried to play it on Live today but it seems that I must be the only person in the southern hemisphere with a copy, since it just keeps connecting me to slow servers a billion killometers away no mater what I do.

[Schimid]

I love it. My old standbys of Ken and Cammy are still as I love them and I'll probably use El Fuerte a lot too. And Dan, always Dan.

I'm a little upset that they made Vega a charge character though. Vega has been my favorite character in the series since the beginning and I've never been able to use him.

[Sam]

Vega has always been a charge character.

[Schimid]

Has he? I remember him having full-circle moves back in SFII, that's why I never played him. Maybe he turned into a Guile a few games ago and I missed it and I'm just suffering the shock now, but I could swear he used to be like Zangief :[

EDIT - Nope, looking back at the movelist for The New Challengers, yeah, he was always a charge character. Wonder where I got the idea that he was otherwise...

[Sam]

I think the only other people to have full circle moves were Birdie and T. Hawk

[MattJack]

Yeah Vega has always been a charge guy. He can wreck face though if you use him correctly (SFII Hyper).

I think with SFIV Sagat is one of the best. I'm pretty good with Ken and Zangief though. RIGHT SAM?

ZanGoodGrief!

[Microshock]

Is this game even worth 60 bucks? It seems it'd be better if it came out at 40 dollars or something.

[MattJack]

Well tbh if you aren't into fighting games, especially the old skool fighting type, then you probably won't like shelling out 60 bucks for it.

Also, every game would be better if it came out for 40 bucks d:

[pac-man]

After spending some time with it at a friend's place, I don't know if I'd pay 60 bucks for it, and I do like it a lot. It just feels like it should've been titled Super Street Fighter II Turbo 3D.

[OxBlood]

As far as I can see, the fighting system is far more advanced than back then, just watch those IGN-Strat Videos

[pac-man]

I'm not saying it's just a face lift. Almost every iteration of SF has tweaked the gameplay, this one included. I just don't think the new wrinkles are significant enough to make me run out and shell out 60 bones. Not when multiple versions of SF are accessible and cheap. Plus plenty of used copies will be available in no time.

[OxBlood]

That´s propably true...the main problem over here is that the game comes out next week and the goddamn fightpads are delayed until april apparently.

[Zhukov]

I paid 77.2603 US dollars and I don't feel cheated. I am having a blast being pummeled by the computer in Easy mode.

I've never really been into Street Fighter so perhaps this feels completely new to me because of that reason.

Who has arcade sticks? How are people finding them? I was thinking of getting a couple if they enhanced the control/experience in any way, but of course they just seem gimmicky to me at first glance.

[pac-man]

Are you playing on PS3 or 360, Zhukov? I ask because the 360 control pad is a pain (although it feels much more responsive for SFIV than it does for SSFIIHDRemix). I haven't used an arcade stick, but I'd imagine it improving gameplay for 360 players who really want to master the game.

[Phoenix Gamma]

I really like it, but I kinda miss some of the missing cast. I mean, sure, it's hard to balance more characters, but Matoko, Ibuki, and Karen were favorites of mine. Oh well, at least T. Hawk and Dee Jay might be added.

My favorite character's probably Sakura, which is odd, because I can't use her for shit in any of the other games. I like her EX moves a lot, even if her Hadoken is garbage. Ryu's still another standby, though I'm trying to wein myself off of Ryu/Ken. Also, Dan's surprisingly easy to pick up.

I don't suppose anyone has tips for C.Viper? She's pretty badass, but I can't use her for the life of me.

[pac-man]

I didn't care for C. Viper either (sorry to be a "not me" post). Her EX/Ultra Combos are pretty badass, though. Rufus, imo, is the easiest new character to learn and succeed with. I don't miss T. Hawk or Dee Jay at all, probably because I never took the time to get to know them. My favorite EX/Ultras are Zangief, Honda, and Abel, but mainly due to their sheer brutality... I really only use my combos in desperation or as finishers. After spending some more time with it, though, it's definitely a great fighter but I still wouldn't pay 60 bucks.

[Skulhedface]

I'd love to play this against you guys, but it seems I'm the only person on I-Mock that uses PSN instead of Xbox Live. Excuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuse me for buying a damn PS3 :(

[Zomboid]

What the fuck is with the gay title screen song?

I just got this.

[pac-man]

LOL... it made me think of the "Let's Fighting Love" song from South Park.

[Zomboid]

"Settle down and start a family? I have much to do before I can consider that!"

What an effective victory taunt.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Do you think when the new street fighter movie comes out sales will drop for Street Fighter IV?

[pac-man]

Yes, but only because they'll release Street Fighter: The Movie II and we'll all remember how much we love digitized character graphics.

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/1/1c/AC_SF_Movie_Gameplay.png

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Oh dear. I had forgotten about that gem. I always liked the fact of how they added Akuma into the videogame based on the movie based on the videogame. It's like they added a secret character to the movie :hypno

They should dig up those 50,000 copies of e.t. and bury copies of that game instead.

[MattJack]

The title song is annoying, just like Marvel Vs Capcom's song(GONNA TAKE A BALLROOM RIDE!).

I've been playing online a bit and 9/10 you will fight a cast/uppercut opponent (ie Ken, Ryu, Akuma, etc etc). All the gamers tend to use the same strategy with all of them too, so if you are decent with any other character that isn't a cast/uppercut type then you will ttly pwn sauce dem up.

I tend to hurt their feelings with Zangief. He's destroys Ken/Ryu.

[MattJack]

Also I think Sagat is the best character in the game. He can Tiger Uppercut a space shuttle.

[King Hadas]

hows Balrog?

[Phoenix Gamma]

Sagat's always the best character, it seems. Not that I particularly mind, but it'd be nice to see him nerfed a bit so he's not so intimidating in high-level play.

As for Balrog, he's a fucking beast. Scary as shit, and can dish out some absurd damage. Everyone I've played with really likes him.

[Schimid]

Yeah, Sagat is usually one of the best and Dan is always the worst.

I wanna play El Fuerte, but Christ he's hard to land a hit with. Absolutely anything I do out of my Habanero dash is either blocked or just doesn't hit at all. Playing Vega is infuriating too, since all he has to do is CHOO CHOO backwards and I run right through him.

[Zhukov]

I am on 360. My name is Joe Vince.

[pac-man]

Dan is actually balanced well in this one. Although I personally can't use them, my friend has shown me how dominant Gouken is and how much Sagat is a badass (the Tiger Knee gives me fits). Like MattJack I tend to use Zangief to break up people who abuse Ken and Ryu; and for the first time ever I'm not feeling Balrog, who I used to love as a kid because his charge attacks and turnaround punch were easy and effective. It doesn't seem as if he packs as much punch anymore. I should just go ahead and buy this game now.

[Phoenix Gamma]

I've won matches with Dan. He's surprisingly usable this time. I like his QCB Kick.

[MattJack]

Yeah I'm starting to learn Gouken. I bet he's one of the best in the game if you learn how to use him.

I agree with Schimid on El Fuerte. The problem with him is that he pretty much gives his oppenent a notice that he's about to do his lame ass special moves. As soon as I see him run I just block or special move his ass.

[King Hadas]

how's Dhalsim?

[pac-man]

Haven't used him yet.

[Schimid]

Dhalsim is slow. You can do some neat stuff with him, he has a good projectile and a few good shutdown moves, but my favorite thing is his YOGA CATASTROPHE. It's just a small ball of fire that moves across the stage veeeery slowly. Easily blocked...until you teleport behind them and Crouch MK them into it. Throwing works too.

[Phoenix Gamma]

I'm starting to like Cammy a lot. I think her and Sakura are going to be my go-to-gals to replace the usual Ryu/Ken standbys I've used for over a decade.

It's not that Ryu and Ken are bad. But everyone uses Ryu and Ken :(

[OxBlood]

Because Ryu and Ken are easy to learn and fun :)

But I do prefer Sakura too actually. Mainly because of her Shoryuken-Variant, it goes over almost half of the screen. Easy to hit with :) Also people tend to mispredict her Hadoken and jump right into the charged one.

[Phoenix Gamma]

Dude, her EX Shoryuken hits for days.

[Kilgore Cod]

I've been itching to get this ever since it was first announced. I'll probably break down and buy it by the end of the week.

[Zomboid]

I like playing as Balrog and Ryu :)

[pac-man]

You know what's fun? Going back and playing MK vs. DC Universe.

[Sam]

I GOT BOTH, SO IT'S WHATEVER TO ME. :rolleyes

[pac-man]

I've got MK vs. DC, but I'd ignored it for the longest. They should've just stuck the 2D plane for it.

[Sam]

IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN LIKE STREET FIGHTER 4 :rolleyes

[pac-man]

It should've been Street Fighter 4. :rolleyes

[Sam]

IT SHOULD'VE :rolleyes

[pac-man]

I call Gouken "Sheng Long" sometimes :rolleyes

[Sam]

SOMETIMES :rolleyes I CALL AKUMA "GOUKI" :rolleyes

[pac-man]

I've never called him that but I might start sometime

[Sam]

:rolleyes

[pac-man]

Oh yeah :rolleyes

I'm stoned.

[Sam]

IF THEY PUT OUT MK VS DC THEY MIGHT AS WELL PUT OUT MK VS SF :rolleyes

[pac-man]

Would've made a shitload more sense. Whatever happened to the doucheknuckle who listed every fighting game character?


Nevermind it was Durrsomething and it was Marvel vs. Capcom.
http://www.i-mockery.com/forum/showthread.php?t=69701245

[Sam]

PLEASE DON'T MAKE ME SIT THROUGH MK VS MARVEL AND CAPCOM VS DC BEFORE I SEE MK VS SF :rolleyes

[Zhukov]

I just played people other than friends online, and I won most of my matches. I feel invincible.

Why the fuck did I have allegiance to Mortal Kombat as a youngster?

[Zomboid]

Because it's awesome.

Last week, a couple of my buddies came over around 5 so we could all go meet up with the others and GET OUR DRANK ON, but I was hungover and not ready, so I suggested that they play some street fighter 4 because I just got it.

They played like two rounds and said "hey, let's play mortal kombat vs dc." I dunno why, but I guess games like that are just easier for people to pick up and get into. The characters in MK vs DC are certainly a lot more recognizable too.

[Schimid]

The same thing happened when I was hanging out with a group of friends. We played two or three rounds of SF4, they got tired of losing and put in MK v DC and everyone was pretty much even. The moves are harder to perform in that game, but they're usually so good that you only have to know one or two.

I was Green Lantern and did either the hammer or the hand the whole match.

[darkvare]

i finally have it please defy me

[Zomboid]

Yeah, I think MK vs DC is just cooler in the visual presentation, and that's what draws people in. That, and all the characters that they know. Anytime I was playing one of my buddies and I did one of the special moves that no one had seen yet, there'd be one or two comments about it.

Superman doing a flying punch, the Joker using a giant boxing glove gun, or anything else in that game just looks a lot better than anything in SF4. Don't get me wrong, I like both games a lot, but I like em for different reasons.

i hated the brutallities everything else was just dandy but i sucked with preety much every dc char so i returned to play sub-zero :/

Seconded.

[Phoenix Gamma]

King of Fighters is where it's at.

And the trailer for KoFXII looks really good. Best 2D graphics since Street Fighter III, I'd wager.

[Guitar Woman]

I played this in a store with the arcade joystick add-on.

Couldn't jump for shit unless it was directly upwards, which ruined my usual strategy of picking Chun Li and hopping around like a flea on crack and spamming that Lightning Kick move she does.

[Phoenix Gamma]

Yea, in-store controllers are always a nightmare to use. I don't know how people can break that shit, because my friend's PS3 arcade stick has taken a beating every night, but still functions just fine.

[Zomboid]

I was only decent with that style of control on real arcades. Everytime I play on a console's arcade style controller I absolutely blow. Also like ShamWow said, store controllers are complete shite 9/10.

[Zomboid]

Woops. Sorry.

I love Mortal Kombat vs. DC.
There was a comparison drawn between the two most recent titles released in the two most popular series in the fighting game genre. It's a bit different than all of a sudden talking about some second or third tier fighter that no one gives a fuck about.

[Phoenix Gamma]

Actually, a lot of players who are really into the genre like SNK games. Some people even prefer them over the Street Fighter series. Mortal Kombat usually gets panned for its gameplay, but since it became a part of our culture back in the 90's, there's a brand recognition that usually causes people who aren't hardcore fighing game fans to gravitate towards MK as opposed to SF.

It's the same effect between SF and KoF. But a lot of fighting fanatics prefer KoF's gameplay, even though SF is more iconic. I think that the more you like the fighting genre, the more inclined you are to jump from MK to SF, and from SF to KoF. That's how I picture the spectrum, at least.

People like KoF a lot, so I woudn't write it off so quickly. The gameplay's a lot like Street Fighter, but with less fireball spamming and a nice boost in speed (not too fast, but fast enough).

[Kilgore Cod]

My all time favorite fighting game is Samurai Shodown IV.

Just sayin'.


BTW I got SFIV last week. Its awesome, excellent, a half-price whorehouse, etc. Still having trouble unlocking Akuma though.

Seth is a cheating cheap bastard.

[Zomboid]

I got everyone but Seth really easily. Just set the rounds to 1.

[Kilgore Cod]

I have it set on very easy and one round. How exactly do you unlock Akuma and Gouken? Some places I read you only need one perfect and use no continues, while another site would say I need two perfects and two ultra combo endings, mentioning nothing about the continues.

This wouldn't be a problem if Seth wasn't such a fucking bastard though.

Here ya go buddy! (http://faqs.ign.com/articles/957/957058p1.html)

[Phoenix Gamma]

I unlocked Seth, but he's not as broken as I was hoping :(

[OxBlood]

I read they kind of inverted Seth for the Versus- and Onlinemode. Takes the most damage, deals the least.

[Kilgore Cod]

Here ya go buddy! (http://faqs.ign.com/articles/957/957058p1.html)

Thanks, I managed to unlock Akuma on my own. I did get to fight against Gouken, but I didn't know I had to finish arcade mode with Akuma, so I didn't unlock him>:

[Zhukov]

Pretty shitty that the top ten players all play as Seth. Lame.

Also lame that I can have a really good game with someone, they Akuma and I Dan, we both win one round, and then the final round they just shoot fireballs at me and don't even attempt to fight. Nice. I guess I suck enough to not be able to break that type of spamming, but I think it's also quite poor sportsmanship. :posh

[bigtimecow]

SORRY FOR BUMPING THIS OLD THREAD; figure i'll get less shit for this compared to making a new thread about it

i've been playing this game nonstop lately, and me and a friend are looking for some online friends to challenge. the psn names we use are davesoultra and bigtimecow

challenge us bitches!

[Zomboid]

The last time I played this was when I ROCKED SOMEONE in the lobby at video games live. Fucking guy got beaten so badly that he probably couldn't enjoy the show >:

[Angryhydralisk]

I played it at my friends, jokingly unlocking Sakura and Dan for him. he was like "Yes, Cory! That's who I've been wanting to unlock this whole time I bought this game. Fucking DAN."

And Seth is a bitch. Not as bad as Gill was, but close enough for a clam bake.

[Phoenix Gamma]

Dan is surprisingly...playable. He doesn't suck nearly as hard as he did in every other fighter. Sakura's actually really awesome; It's way too easy to string her attacks together, and her EX dragon punch move hits for something like 10 hits, I think.

If you want to cheat on the Seth fight, set the arcade settings to "1 Round" on the easiest difficulty. Then you never have to face his second form (with overpowered moves and an AI that reads your button presses).

It's shameful, but let's face it, you just want the damn characters ASAP.

[bigtimecow]

i love using sakura, but its a shame that her moves are so goddamn weak. even her ultra combo hits for an awfully small amount. but yes, chaining her down back kick (EX'd) with her shoryuken-whatever is fantastically satisfying

i've been using abel otherwise and his moves are just as easily strung together as sakura's

[Phoenix Gamma]

What you do is land the EX spin kick, then when they're in the air, use her leap attack thing (same input as a shoryuken, but with a heavy kick instead of a punch) then hammer the punch button when you catch up to them. Spikes them right back down.

When you string it together, it'll send them from one end of the stage to the other. It's so satisfying, and a great way to show off B)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lNWMTXQZr98
At the end of the combo at 2:43, you can see it, though Dan's crammed against a wall, so you don't really see how far it sends him. A lot easier to pull off than you'd think (EX Spin kick lasts long enough for you to get ready for the next move.)

[lovely09]

Always A surprise with the new edition of games.This is fantastic and i will love to play the game.

[executioneer]

lovely09 remind me to kill you for being a spambot later ok

[Dimnos]

That is one active spambot. :\

[executioneer]

it's a fun new variant! it posts almost-relevant gibberish in a bunch of threads, then about a month later turns its sig into a bunch of spam links when nobody's looking.

[Babs]

I just had to sell Street Fighter IV yesterday because my friend came and took his 360. I just unlocked Akuma too, being a bitch to beat seth with shitty ass el fuerte. Whatever though, I'm looking to buy Marvel vs. Capcom 2, never fails to amaze me.

[bigtimecow]

shitty ass el fuerte

whoa whoa whoa

Seeing this cut scene about 20 times on just one guy had it's moments of gratification.

[Glass Onion]

The easiest way to beat arcade mode is to use Zangief. The AI doesn't know how to react to his lariat. Seth will get caught in a loop and teleport into it as long as you throw it out.

Aah thanks man now i can beat arcade mode.

So far I'm liking Sagat and Bison best (i used to be all ryu all the time), but the Seth fight has kindled a rage in me that I haven't felt in some time.

Also it's the first boss fight I've just given up on (with bison), even with infinite continues. I guess I have more self-control now ;<

I like C.Viper's character but she seems ridiculously weak when I play as her. Against the computer she does crazy shit, somehow.

Guile's ultra combo is retardedly difficult to pull off.

since that post i've unlocked everyone but seth

What the hell is us with Vega's moves always being so god damn hard to pull off. For Christ sakes, Dan is fucking better than him. He can have his ups sometimes but the fact that pulling off his super and ultra are incredibly hard don't make him that much fun to even play as him.

I can't do the training course with Sagat. I have no idea how you are supposed to do this 'fake kick' thing.

same here. i don't know if it's just because the ps3's triggers suck dick or what

Fei Long is the best period. Chun-li is a close second. Speed is key.

Bruce Campbell is the best period.
ya thx we no

Bruce Campbell vs Capcom....I don't know close fight.
