Jam it back in, in the dark.

As long as the game's coming out before spring. I'm sold to it. He did say he's going to work on that lag issue so that's good enough. I already know so far that the controls on the 360's horrendous (to me) because I was so used to playing fighting games on dc and a ps controller.

How ya doing, buddy?

You're implying that because it was harder to port, that the game will be bad or something. He said that there was shading issues with the hardware of the ps3, but since they've been using ps3s with realistic graphics, to go to this sort of animated/ink look was a challenge, but nonetheless doable. It's still going to play and feel just like all the other ports.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Whoa, Gen is in the game now? Wasn't expecting him. Nice to see Cammy is confirmed now.




I was speaking idiomatically.

This was the one to post, Hantei.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Well this is taking a huge turn for the Awesome. And even Gen is in it. Can't wait to see how the story unfolds with having Gouken, Akuma and gen.

Most amazing jew boots

Rose, T-Hawk, and Dee-Jay next.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Gouken and Seth were selectable from the choose your character screen:


You can see Gouken above Chun Li and Seth above Ryu.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Rose also playable:


There's nowhere I can't reach.

^^^ Whoa seriously? Very cool, didn't expect Rose. If anything I thought Karin would have been had been another character they'd add, since Sakura's in.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Dee Jay and T-Hawk next.

How ya doing, buddy?

While I personally have never found a problem with using the stick for fighting games (probably explaining my "skills" or lack thereof at them) I've never quite understood why Microsoft doesn't release a dedicated fighting pad of some kind. Just take the regular controller, stick a non-shitty d-pad on it, and charge $50 for it. Make a killing!

As long as new characters are still in the running, where the hell is my Cody? Need some jailbird action up in here.

wow. A total of 25 characters (or maybe more..) . I was hoping they would add Guy into this. But if they did, rolento, cody and sodom would have to be in it >.<.

There will be a fighting game pad released along with the official Street Fighter IV sticks. There should be a pictures a few pages back.

FELIPE NO

So this game is coming out feb 2009 (hope its true) . Since Raz mentioned dee jay and t-hawk, it wouldn't hurt if they were to add the Final Fight group either. Have Rolento, Guy, Cody and maybe..Haggar ;p. They still have time.

This game is looking more promising than it already should be.

How ya doing, buddy?

Well, he does look pretty goofy. But some initial Japanese character tierings put out a few weeks ago placed him fairly high, so it looks like that fatty can go. He could wind up getting more tournament play than expected just based off his look.

I'm hoping character tiers aren't going to be the thing to look out for in this game. Viscant stated a while back on HVO or SRK (can't remember which) that character match ups were going to become more prevalent once players got a better grasp of the game. Also, the console exclusive characters will change the game dynamic from what the arcade has now, and I'm hoping Evolution adopts the console version, but we'll have to see what larger venues like SBO/Tougeki adopt as well.

Guile was stated to be pretty poor by Justin Wong, though this was apparently a while back right when China Town Fair got their Street Fighter IV cabinet and the match limit was 6 wins and you're done. It was stated on the Street Fighter Podcast that he had nothing going for him, since projectiles are still pretty weak in this game due to Focus Cancelling. Honda's got a meaty jumping roundhouse which will apparently clean hit or trade with Somersault Kick, El Fuerte has an infinite... not really something that makes me happy as a Guile player, however, Guile is still listed as viable so there's no point in getting too disheartened yet. Especially when I'm not playing tourneys anyway.

Yeah, the gootecks podcast with Justin was pretty cool. I don't understand much why he said that Guile is the worst character of the game since I've seen a lot of matches where he kicks serious ass. But, he knows the stuff...

About El Fuerte's infinite, it's seems it's really hard to pull off, but I hope Capcom can patch this in the future.

By the way, have you guys seen Justin playing Sakura? They said that he had like a 50 win streak using her. Probably they were all scrubs, or maybe Sakura is top tier. Anyways, seeing some of his matches, he didn't do any fancy combos with her. Normal FK and EX Shunpukyakus most of the time.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Street Fighter IV: coming Feb. 17 (N. America) and Feb. 20 (Europe)

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Niiiice.

Also, Cammy gameplay. Very low quality though...

How ya doing, buddy?

He played her like CVS2 Sakura, so I imagine that it was an easy transition for the guy. That and, well, yeah, Justin's pro and his competition probably wasn't. Also, I want to see Cammy played well. I don't know why the fuck you would just throw out spin knuckles with Cammy against Chun, but watching the person play was very painful. Her Ultra will either rock (Killer Bee Assault) or it will be gay (Shinryuken knock-off, aka: Reverse Shaft Breaker).

Regarding Guile, it was stated in the same podcast that people were still picking Guile and seeing success, so it's Justin's call and the game was still pretty new. I'm hoping it's just a bad call, as I play Guile and well, yeah.

Also, promo vid for Gouken just went up. You get to see the Kinjite Shoryuken (sadly looks like a whiffed Shin Shoryuken), and he can charge his Hadouken. My friend Nick pointed out it'd probably be good for mind games, mix up fireball and all.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Does anybody know if there's a Street Fighter 4 font? Google and dafont didn't show up any results.

Tiering has and always will be prevalent in fighting games. It's just the natural order of things. You'll have the occasional person who turns a character thought to be lower tiered into a beast (i.e. Hugo, and Remy in SF3), but with fighting games having so many mechanics involved these days it's hard for a select few not to simply be better than the rest of the pack.

As for Guile well that sucks. Fighting games usually tend to undergo changes from arcade to console release so maybe that wont be the final case or he just hadn't gotten used to the system, but I like Guile as well. I don't want to be handicapped when I pick him.

That's because Justin always play more technical than flashy. That's why his matches are boring most of the time.
