Am I the only one seeing the dash of irony at complaining about wrestlers in fighting games when one of the existing characters in Street Fighter is Zangief, a professional wrestler?

- No new stages or El Fuerte, unfortunately. They seem to be testing out the IC cards. With the cards, you can register a character (only one character per card, unfortunately) with the SFIV website. It keeps track of your win/loss ratio. You can also earn zeni (shades of Forgotten Worlds?). No one knows what zeni is for as yet.

- Game feels slightly clunky at times, but still very positive reports from the guys who played it. Claimed it was a lot of fun, and looks FAR better in person than even in HD vids. It starts off felling like ST, but the more they play it, the less it feels like and more like something else. ST players will have the advantage in this game at first though.

- As expected, fireballs are back as good zoning tools.

- As stated before, Gief is a beast. Even with toned down SPD damage, he WILL grab you. Also, EX SPD has super armour! Can throw Ken out of multi-hit DP! o_O

- Ultra damage seems to vary wildly. Sometimes it does crap damage, other times it does up to 70%. Some think it's proportional to how much life you have left. Speaking of which, revenge bar seems to be proportional to you life. You will get access to Ultra at 50% life every time. Even if ou use it at 50%, it seems to be virtually impossible to build up enough meter for two Ultras in one round.

- With one notable exception (see below), Ultras seem to have so much start up that the only way to land them is by blowing through an attack, or by nailing someone during a move with large recovery.

- Chun Ultra is really dangerous, like 3S SAII dangerous: Goes through FBs and travels half screen. Don't throw FBs at CHun when she has revenge bar.

- Charge partitioning is in. Some guy was doing with Blanka: Focus Attack, cancel into forward dash, c.MK XX Blanka Ball.

- Kamui beasts with C.Viper. Air mix up off of kick, rush punch can go under FBs. She can also combo Focus Attack to Ultra! o_O Her Ultra is apparently hard to hit with otherwise, though, since the initial start up is long and, despite how it looks, is lousy for anti-air.

- Different players getting win streaks with different characters, depending on player ability, actually. Seems like everyone has been doing well except for Guile, and Chun to a lesser extent.

- HOLY SHIT LOL! BLANKA EX BLANKA BALL GOES THROUGH PROJECTILES! SHADES OF CVS2!!!

- In this build at least, you can dash cancel Focus Attacks. Speaking of which, while their start up can absorb hits, the actual strike is vulnerable. Also, if you're hit during a Focus Attack, you take damage, but you get the life you lost back if you're not hit again within a certain time frame. Odd

- You can cancel regular special attacks into Focus Attacks! Ryu can do j.HP, c.MK. Hp Shoryuken XX FA! That won't connect, I don't think, it's more for positioning. Holy shit, that sounds dangerous, since you can cancel the FA into a dash.

- Actually, it seems like you can cancel into FAs, period. But canceling into FA uses super meter like EX moves.
