Gamespot shows some of the alternate character costumes. Most of them terrible save for a few. Zangief as Haggar and Cammy after beating up some poor sap and taking their Class A cover are highlights.

I find zangief as haggar pretty funny but too bad he doesn't have the stache for it.
I saw the chun li costume before in another video and I like that one for pretty obvious reasons. One would think that you'd get sick of the game from the amount of videos they've already released but I just want it that much more.
From what I've played in SF2HD, I'm going to need some practice in the game but should be all fun ^^
And as Prime mentioned before, playing the cpu while you wait for a human opponent is really nice. Kinda like a warm up. From what they've said, you could be playing arcade mode and then someone can just jump in and challenge you but I'm sure there will be an option to turn it off just in case you just want to beat arcade mode.

Nice montage of all the alternate costumes. Sakura's is a pretty neat one, would have been nice if they had added pants to complete the look. Viper's looks like variant of Dante's (DMC) outfit.

Plus more english: Vega, Bison, Balrog
You can actually hear Ryu say "Shinkuu Tatsumaki" for the EX Hurricane kick, I wonder why they couldn't do something similar for the regular move.

Ruliweb has a mess of videos up showing off both the PS3 and 360 versions, so you can compare. I've only seen vids in the portable format (it was taking too long to download the HD versions) so obivously I didn't see any differences in looks, but I did notice that the 360 version seemed to have longer loading times (they probably didn't install).

Probably the key vids are PS3..._01 for Dan's anime intro, XB360...07 for Chun-Li's anime intro, and pretty much any of the 360 version vids if you wanna check out the english dubs. Chun-Li's english VA I'm not sure I like, she sounds younger/higher-pitched than I was expecting and whiny. Guile's english dub is much better than the JPNS engrish, though for some reason he says "Flash Kick" instead of Somersault. The Japanese version of the game's intro (basically just the JPNS version of the boyband song) is also available as well.

Also, concerning Canadians (probably just Skills and me), it seems the game's price has increased by $10 (stupid weak ass dollar). So it's now $69.99 for the regular and $89.99 for the CE. These were the prices as advertised on FutureShop, Best Buy, HMV, and even EB Game's Canadian site. Though amazon.ca is selling both editions at the original American prices ($59.99 and $79.99), plus free shipping is available. Personally I'll just be sticking to my pre-order with EB, going with amazon and it's free shipping means I wouldn't been seeing the game till the week after the release. And that just doesn't work for me as I'm too eager to play the game, and plus I got reading week the week of the its release.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Do you guys not get a price guarantee on any pre-orders? Over here if the price goes up then you get the lower price you pre-ordered at. However, if the price goes down, they drop the price of your pre-order.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Hmm, I'm unfamiliar with how the system works with EB Games since prices have never changed like this with the games I had pre-ordered from them in past. I know amazon.ca uses the pre-order price guarantee. It could be possible with EB as well I guess, though I personally don't see it happening. I'll give the "WTF" reaction it's time to pay, maybe I can bargin for the price I pre-ordered it at.

I really wonder what would happend had I paid for both the CE and stick in full the day I pre-ordered, would they still have the nerve to charge me the difference with the new prices?

I was speaking idiomatically.

***Jurassic Park Chocolate Raptor*** · Local time: Feb 1, 2009, 11:47 PM

They tend to only charge the difference if you haven't paid the PO off fully, from what I'm told. I fully bet that since I only had 65 dollars down on the CE that I'll be paying the full amount.

I'll have to phone and ask.

How ya doing, buddy?

So a bunch of people are starting to circulate the achievements for SFIV, and unsurprisingly they match exactly to the trophy list I'd seen for the PS3 version. I'm not convinced about the numbers though because I did a quick check and found that the numbers they had listed only added up to 990 (probably a typo I guess).

For anyone interested (including trophy type and currently rumoured achievement points):

Information about the costume packs for anyone interested:

Quote:

Capcom plans to release extra costume packs for Street Fighter IV in Japan, starting on launch day (Friday 12th February) and continuing every subsequent Friday for the next four weeks.

That's according to the latest issue of Famitsu (spotted by 1UP), which says each bundle will cost 320 Microsoft Points (GBP 2.70 / EUR 3.85) on Xbox 360, or JPY 400 (GBP 3 / EUR 3.50) on PlayStation 3.

The first pack to arrive will be Muscle Arms containing alternate threads for big and beefy characters Zangief, E. Honda, Rufus, Abel and El Fuerte.

The Beauty bundle will follow, adding attire for pretty punchers Chun Li, C. Viper, Sakura, Rose and Cammy.

Then we'll see the Shoryuken pack, which has new outfits for fireball-wielders Ryu, Ken, Akuma, Gouken and Dan.

Baddies come next, as the Shodaloo pack gives Vega, Sagat, Balrog, Bison and Seth something to change into.

And, last but not least, there's the Classic collection: called so presumably because Capcom ran out of themes. This features extra wear for Guile, Blanka, Dhalsim, Gen and Fei Long.

At the end of April, both sets of owners will be able to download all the extra costumes for a lump sum of 1000 MSP (GBP 8.50 / EUR 12.00) / JPY 1200 (GBP 9.30 / EUR 10.50).

So I picked up two of the MadCatz controllers yesterday (Best Buy got them early, for anyone interested), and I gotta say they're fucking awesome. MadCatz got the pad down perfectly. My brother and I are huge Guilty Gear fans, and the game is nearly impossible to play with 360 pads. We used these yesterday, and after changing the buttons around ever so slightly, we were playing like pros. It was like we hadn't played the game in years, and we were rediscovering old combos that weren't feasible on the 360 pad. Playing SFIITHD Remix on this thing was equally impressive. Not a single dragon punch input went without...well, a dragon punch.

Some odd things about the controller, though. First of all, I never looked at this real close until I bought one, but why is it that the two gray face buttons are right bumper and right trigger? That means the two triggers on top are left trigger and left bumper. That's really fucking odd and doesn't make sense, even for Street Fighter. Switching your control scheme around obviously fixes the problem, but I can't imagine why they didn't make the two face buttons bumpers, and make the left and right triggers function as left trigger and right trigger, respectively.

Something else is also a bit odd. Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe is not really the kind of game that needs a finely tuned D-pad, but I wanted to try it out anyway. The thing is, all the face buttons work and you can move just fine, but no matter how much you try, you can't do special attacks. It's not hard, it's not impossible in a hyperbolic sense, it's impossible because the inputs simply won't be accepted. The only reason I can attribute to this is that MK vs. DC allows you to use both the pad and the left stick for movement. This fightpad allows you to switch the function of the pad from a left stick, to a pad, to a right stick, but you can only have one function activated at a time, obviously. Of course, that makes most games unplayable, but in a fighter like MK vs. DC, I would have thought it would have been okay, since you don't have to use either of the sticks. It's an odd problem, but I can ignore it since I'm really only going to be using this pad for 2D fighters anyway. This is easily one of the best 3rd party peripherals I've ever used.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Hmm, I wonder how the coupon that comes with the CE will work. Do we get to choose the pack or is it by default the Brawler pack (least desired one for me) since it's released the same week as the game? If we do get to choose I'll probably go with the Beauty pack, since I really like Chun-Li and Sakura's alternates.

That's how I play 2D fighters on the playstation controller, and I'm pretty sure that's how most them default the controls (Hard Punch on R1/RB, and Hard Kick on R2/RT). Capcom vs SNK 2 and Street Fighter Alpha Anthology are games that come to mind that have that default set up. So I can see why they went with that layout on the pad. Though, I understand your complaint as it'll probably be weird trying to play a game (other than a fighter) that fully utilizes the triggers.

Speaking of the pad, how's the d-pad itself? I read a complaint about the diagonals not registering unless you applied really firm pressure on it.

Yes for the characters, no for the commentator. To my knowledge the commentator has never spoken anything other than english in the fighting genre, at least in the games I've played.

This is pretty neat, apparently there'll be exchanges between your character and their rival during their rival match. On another note according to vgmdb the game's soundtrack is by Hideyuki Fukasawa (I knew it!), composer of Onimusha Dawn of Dreams and Chaos Legion. I hope the OST that comes with the CE includes the rival match music, or rather character theme remixes (though probably doubtful).

Uhh, not sure where you're hearing the Japanese (other than from the characters) but the only times he spoke were before and after the match/round, and even then it's english.

Here's a transcript of what the commentator said in the vid.

"Now fight your rival!"
"Your destiny will be determined here"
"Who will come out on top? Fight!"
"K.O."
"Perfect"
"Let's pick up the pace. Fight!"
"K.O."
"You Win"
"Perfect"
"Fight will now go to" (hard to make out what he said exactly, but it's in english)
"Who will come out on top? Fight!"
"K.O."
"Will the tide of battle turn? Fight!"
"You Win"
"Thank you for playing. Presented by Capcom"
