Do people still play Alpha 3? I'm about to buy the AA from a guy.

[BlueSwim]

bam! SoCal Chun-Li!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0-OF6oHOV7s

Those downward kicks from Rufus really need to be rebalanced. It's way too easy to pull them off repeatedly. It needs to either have a slower start-up animation or to more down time after he lands. Is it one of his specials or just a regular attack?

[Mr. Beef]

Entered. Everyone else loses now.

Dayum, that Rufus was hella good.

I do... still my fave in the series though the gameplay seemed best in 2.

note: Alpha 2 and 3 will be hitting the PSN eventually.

[heavyd853]

Wow Rufus downward kick seems retarded!

But damn that was entertaining.

[JEKKI]

Dayum, that Rufus was hella good.


u should see Ken-I Rufus...

at the denjin tournament at the beginning of the round if u can get 1 EX bar he did air to air roundhouse into EX air slap slap slap move... dood it's so damaging...

it's not in this video but this is still a good vid:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V5TAk-l_cNc

apparently u can also get an Ultra off that jumping roundhouse... Rufus has so many moves he can get Ultra off it's silly...

-EDIT-

he does it in round 1 of this vid:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u0qVokLDj_A

also that mini launcher he does at the end of round 1 when he defeats Chun while she's dizzy... u can get Ultra off that too!!

Do people still play Alpha 3? I'm about to buy the AA from a guy.
My friends dabbled in Alpha 3 and we even played some alpha over the past weekend. I myself used to play it on the GBA a lot. Tried it again today and pretty much forgot how to play it. Guy was my favorite character in the series. Overall, I'd say it's a good game. Depends on whether or not you're really going to play it a lot if you plan on buying it. I doubt anyone out there is still playing it religiously.

On a side note, me and my friends got a kick out of playing Gem Fighter on the AA. Definitely a breathe of fresh air from the everyday 2d fighter.

[blitz6speed]

It needs it because it needs the security chip encryption that all arcade sticks need.

Sorry to say that the XFPS lags when using digital only input (arcade stick). I don't know how much it lags, but it is very noticeable from what I hear.

Borrowed a wired controller and finally tried it out, works amazingly well. Tried SF2HF and Fatal Fury Special, was pulling off moves with precision and not a hint of lag. Extremely satisfied. Now i have a single arcade stick for 360/ps2/ps3/pc!

Are you sure there was 0 lag? Or you didn't feel it? Did you do specific lag testing? There is a reason why people aren't buying these like crazy for 360 and using their PS2/PS1 arcade sticks. Pulling off moves is easy on these things. But pulling off combos/repetition/cycles that require visual and input timing. That is what needs to be tested. I would suggest trying to play Virtua Fighter 5 and try doing some of the required timing moves.

[MarkMan]

I wish I could detail the pricing... but yea. I think the price is 'reasonable'...

Hori Real Arcade PRO 3 SA, Really?! (http://sdtekken.com/2008/11/14/hori-real-arcade-pro-3-sa-really/)

Remember the old Hori Real Arcade PRO 3 SA that Hori cancelled (http://sdtekken.com/2007/03/15/hori-real-arcade-pro-3-sa-is-coming/) well over a year ago? Looks like it is BACK, but this time with a new look. Hori is planning on releasing this special Sanwa edition of their Real Arcade PRO line on December 18th in Japan. Available Exclusively HORISTORE (http://www.horistore.com/) for 10,000 Yen ($103.11 USD). Click below for more details on the product.



Hori Real Arcade PRO 3 SA (PS3) (http://sdtekken.com/tech-area/arcade-sticks/hori-real-arcade-pro-3-sa-ps3-new/)

[RelentlessRolento]

Still undecided on PS3 or 360 version of SFIIHD... Leaning towards PS3 since it's hooked up to my HDTV and the d-pad isn't ass.

...which reminds me... it's been too damn long that I've been without an arcade stick. I expect whenever it is I get a car and I can actually meet other people to play in Miami I'll get a stick.

[GuardianE]

I wish I could detail the pricing... but yea. I think the price is 'reasonable'...

I thought a price of $15 was already established/announced? I could be wrong, though.

[Jimbo Slice]

That Chun player was good. Rufus is just so beastly. I wish I could play 4 today, watchin those vids got me hyped. With regards to SF2HD, I think I'm gonna get both versions. PS3 to play with some of you guys /use my custom stick and 360 to play with friends / the rest of you guys.

Someone play UMK today with me on Live! I got nothin to do all day.




Also, I added you on Live Jekki. Hit me up for some Gears or anything.

I did a bunch of combos in SF2 and all went well. I have VF5 installed on the 360 hard drive, ill try out some of the combo stuff. Really tho, it works really well. The main problem is the price, it sells for 60-100 bucks. I got mine on craigslist for 40 bucks.

[RelentlessRolento]

so apparently there's a book fair next to my job sponsored by the city that is fucking kick ass since the theme this year is comic books... will eisner original artwork...

Here is first gameplay video (http://www.dailymotion.com/JoniPhilips/video/x7eceq_street-fighter-iv-ps3-gameplay-game_videogames) of Cammy vs. Chun Li in Street Fighter IV.......:drool::drool::drool: Good, it looks like Cammy plays just like Cammy. She has the same super move that she had in Super Turbo and Alpha. The Spin Drive Smasher, I believe it's called???

@Jekki - YOU GOT....PAID?!?!?

[Jimbo Slice]

I wonder if Cammy's Ultra is just a beefy version of her QCF + K super, or if it's more similar to her QCB super that went straight up?

Late response, but dayum Gouken is jacked! Can't wait to play as him!

[MarkMan]

Gouken is cheap.

I had fun using him.

[hankmecrankme]

I'm getting that SSF2T HDR on PSN, because the 360 pad is an abomination.

SFIV comes out 11 days before my birthday, noice. That's my birthday present.

[RelentlessRolento]

if one of you guys get it on PSN then PSN for me as well.

[heavyd853]

PSN son!

I may be tempted to get both though depending on how my local dudes go.

[asianxcore]

I might get SFHD on PSN, mostly because 2 of my 3 sticks are PS2 sticks.

Nice to see a finalized date on SFIV. Driving 1.5 hours to San Jose to play SFIV is getting pricey :)

[PhrostByte]

I'm getting it on 360 cuz it's all I have. :]

[gunm]

Gouken is cheap.

Ooo...that's perfect for my style of play!!11! :D

And if I do get SFIITHD, it'll be PSN. More use for my sticks...

why is 1up saying that SSF2T HD Remix is coming out tomoroow?

http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3171309

[MarkMan]

I'll get both. And I'll really make time to play.

lol.

[dizzlle01]

can you use a ps2 stick on a ps3 and is there any sort of lag if use a adapter?

[MarkMan]

There are certain converters that have no lag...

http://sdtekken.com/tech-area/converters/

The best ones are listed there, read the reviews for the Pelican, Real, inPin.

[option.iv]

Yes, and lag will vary between adapters. I'm sure MM knows more about all the different ps2-usb adapters out there.

I myself have this old BNS adapter just in case I need one. It seems to work just fine. I got it back when someone who played DDR suggested it to me (you know those rhythm games are critical when it comes to input response). I haven't noticed any lag, if there is, it's really not noticeable.

My other friend has these Pelican converters that used to be sold at Gstop and supposedly go for $100ish. Those perform great as well. When I played with them, I didn't see much lag on their end either. I would vouch for those as well, but definitely not for 100 dollars.

edit: maybe he was kidding, but I can't find the specific image of the same Pelican adapter. Not even under "pelican ps2 to usb or ps2 to ps3.

edit 2: after a little research, my BNS branded adapter is actually a Mayflash product.

I'm gonna order a SC4 stick as soon as my Gears 2 giftcard comes in. How hard are the to mod?

I just have to have something for SF2HD this month. I mean, it's my first SF after all.

[MarkMan]

I've tested the shit out of said converters up above. I did frame specific testing and the three I listed virtually have no lag/noticeable lag.

So go for one of those.

Easiest/cheapest one available right now is an inPin.

Eh? This is your first time playing the SF series? :D

[DarthPuma]

Eh? This is your first time playing the SF series? :D

Yep. I have the Alpha Anthology coming in the mail from someone too.

I won't be able to play that with a stick though. :cry:

[heavyd853]

My suggestion would be to go with the easy bat-top +octagonal gate mod for the FS3.

It costs maybe 10 dollars at most and is really easy to do, and makes it much more comfortable if you're used to american bat-top style sticks.

The buttons are fine for the casual player I think, none of mine have broken down or anything since I got mine in July.

The stick is pretty light and loose, so that might take some getting used to but I didn't have too huge a problem with it for the price (I got it for like 40 shipped or something).


Also, getting a sanwa stick in there is going to be a bitch if I remember right. You have to like cut some metal off the bottom or something.

I think the button switching was easier to do, but still a bit of a hassle for the beginner.

[MarkMan]

When making the SF4 sticks, I like how everyone suggested octagonal gates for the sticks... like it was popular or something... but in reality 90% of the sticks out there rock the traditional square gate...

haha... oh well. ppl are wild with their preferences and views on how things 'should' be...

If you haven't been reading up on the SRK thread for the SF4 stick, now is a good time.

If you want a good stick that is mod friendly, you know what to dooooooooo!

I was thinking of octogonal gates a while ago as well, but ended up sticking with a square. MM is right, almost all default sticks and arcade cabs (aside from American panels) have the square gate by default. There is a valid reason for a square gate. Mostly to do with even throw distribution to all 8 directions.

http://www.slagcoin.com/joystick/restrictors.html

Circle restrictors (and octogonal for that matter) are smooth on the motions and all, but I cannot find the axes if my life depended on it.

[PhrostByte]

Hey MarkMan.. I want to either play 360-SF on a keyboard or a controller with a normal dpad... thoughts?

[MarkMan]

PhrostByte, not many options in the dpad department. Same with keyboard.

You won't be able to use a keyboard for any SF games on the 360. Even with an XFPS or some type of adapter.

For controllers, I would suggest getting a modded 360 controller with enhanced dpad from XCM or you can wait for the SF4 controllers.

[PhrostByte]

Since they're Mad Catz.. you think they'll be cheap?

[MarkMan]

Is Mad Catz always perceived as cheap? They aren't cheap as far as controllers (pricing) go.

[BlueSwim]

I just have to have something for SF2HD this month. I mean, it's my first SF after all.

If it's half as awesome as the source material was, you are in for a treat!8-)
Since they're Mad Catz.. you think they'll be cheap?
All signs MarkMan working with Mad Catz on the stick for example point to them being great. But if you're talking about pricing instead of quality, the price hasn't been revealed yet.

[option.iv]

Well back then in grade school, Mad Catz was often subject to many a cheap joke. It was often seen (at least in my eyes) as one of the lesser quality video game accessory brands.

Though I'm sure I cannot say the same for their brand today.

It's not using GGPO, its still a lot more similar to the netcode used in the beta. Luckily Ponder came on real late to make some tweaks to make it flow much better.

You know what is surprising? GGPO is not in SF4, but the netcode is 'pretty damn good'.

It's only 15, I picked it up off Amazon for my brother for his b-day (got him that and the Iron Man special edition DVD). I'll try and check it out over Thanksgiving and give you better impressions, but I'm one of the few people that didn't bitch about SNK Arcade Classics. It was only 15 dollars, so I wasn't expecting huge production values or 100% perfect ports.

Sure, Shock Troopers was almost unplayable, but it's still worth the 15 IMO.

Okay, I just need to pop in here to say that the PS2 compilation is the biggest piece of shit SNK's ever produced, regardless of price. Every game skips frames like mad crazy. Hell, the fucking front-end menu doesn't even run smoothly. The Wii version, however, is a lot better, and while yeah, it's twice the price, it also has every game looking cleaner (higher res, not filters) and games run without slowdown. You lose the various flashing lights, which sucks, but quite honestly, I'd rather play Metal Slug without slowdown than the NG original with hitflashes. Point is, the PS2 compilation is a completely worthless pile of shit.

Also, I really want to know which version of SSF2THDR is better... after watching the 1UP show I really want it. Personally, I'm hoping the PS3 version is better because I want to use my damn HRAP 3 for something, but... well, it's the PS3, so that probably won't happen. That game really needs to come out.

To each his own I guess. I enjoyed Magician Lord and a few other games that were on it. I've played the Metal Slugs to death, so I'm not even sure if I ever tried it on the compilation or not. Like I said though, to each his own.

Also, just got Little Big Planet in the mail. Where would I find your Street Fighter level, ReRo?

Well, aight, to be fair, I didn't notice the frame-rate issues with the PS2 version until I had the Wii version to do a side-by-side. Someone who's not especially anal about accuracy probably won't have the same level of outrage I did... but then, I carry a lifetime supply of Haterade with me.

Speaking of things I hate, I don't hate Gears 2... I played that shit for 9 1/2 hours straight on Thursday once my monitor started working again.

And MM's word on ST HD has me more optimistic. I'm still probably going to wait a few days and see what the word is up at SRK and see what people here are picking up, but yeah. It's been far too long since I've devoted a good chunk of time to a fighter. Also, I finally threw those Sanwa buttons into my HRAP 3 last week and holy shit are they sensitive. I absolutely love it.

Lesson: Capcom rulez, SNK droolz.

[RelentlessRolento]

I hope SNK no longer droolz... they need a comeback and I can't say they will or wont.

glad ur back even if it's lyke whun pohst gaiz!


Also, just got Little Big Planet in the mail. Where would I find your Street Fighter level, ReRo?


Just go to your planet [left planet] and look at your friends there. find me, click me and it'll load up all the levels I made. enjoy :)

[option.iv]

I just hope SNK doesn't fuck up their future releases. *cough* KOF XII *cough*

Also got a little bored and popped in my import of Garou: MOTW.

This game is just awesome. I can sort of understand why it wasn't included in any of the Fatal Fury Battle Archives. It definitely can stand alone among the rest of the various 2D fighters out there.

Reminds me, anyone play this game on GGPO? I'm definitely up for playing someone on MOTW or ST later tonight (4PM here).

[hankmecrankme]

I play MOTW on GGPO and I love it.

[RelentlessRolento]

I never was good at MotW... wish I was better.

game needs a revamp like KoFXII just for the hell of it.

rofl, that reminds me I gotta try and find a good Mugen set somewhere. Too damned lazy to get all the individual characters...

"Viper Beam"... Oh, I see what you did there:rofl::rofl:

I was thinking of picking up MK vs DC for the heck of it. Anyone know if the PS3 or 360 version is better?

Jesus that infinite is stupid easy.

Also, is there any word on the SF4 strategy guide? There is gonna be one right..? Will it be junk like most? I wonder.

[blitz6speed]

Any word on a good PS2->Gamecube adapter yet? I want to have a stick ready for TvC.

[depascal22]

I just got a copy of Fatal Fury Battle Archives Vol. 2 to tide me over until SFIIHD.

Any tips for using the New Challengers version of Joe?

Also, if SFIV gets a guide like Anniversary Collection or Alpha Anthology, I'll be very happy.

I still need the AA guide. I have the CvS2 one and the Anniversary Collection one though.

I actually have a decent fighting game guide collection, I'll post pics sometime.

[depascal22]

I've been looking for that CvS2 guide for a long time. With all the grooves, I definately need one. My fighting game guide collection so far:

Virtua Fighter 5
DOA4
Tekken 5
Anniversary Collection
Alpha Anthology

[Jimbo Slice]

I can't remember if I ever picked up the T5 one. I'd like to have it though.

[option.iv]

How are those guides? I'm a bit curious, do they have info such as what moves cancels or links to others and frame data?

[asianxcore]

Also, is there any word on the SF4 strategy guide? There is gonna be one right..? Will it be junk like most? I wonder.

If it has accurate frame data, it will automatically be good.

Other that, it'll be useless.

[depascal22]

I wonder if they're going to release a SFIIHD guide? It's an arcade title but it would still be nice to get frame data for the new game.

[Jimbo Slice]

If it has accurate frame data, it will automatically be good.

Other that, it'll be useless.

True true. Also, a SF2HD guide would be awesome but I really don't think it'll happen.

[Jimbo Slice]

Just doing some math about how much the SF4 release is gonna cost me.

60 - Game (360)
60 - Game (PS3)
40 - Pad (360) (speculation)
130 - Premium Stick for 360 (speculation)
20 - Guide

310.00
+ 6% sales tax = 328.60

Yeah, but it's going to be worth every penny. I might go with the 360 version, one pad, a stick, and the guide. That puts my bill at $250 + tax. It's a good thing my birthday is two days after release.

This makes me cringe. Probably because I'm in the same boat. Except that I'm springing for the collector's edition of the game and no guide. I'm really torn on what platform to get the thing, though. In my opinion, Street Fighter belongs on the Playstation and I don't know why I'm partial this way. Are most people here getting it on the 360?

I'm getting 5 copies of the game.

360 LE

PS3 LE

1 of each controller for both systems, so that's 8 controllers total.

an undisclosed number of arcade sticks for each system. So that is at least 4 sticks (at least!)....

Actually, I think the LE is $20 more than the Standard, so if you're getting both it'd be $40 extra. :-#

I'm waiting to see if the Regular MadCatz Sticks will be enough for me instead of the premium. If the regular turns out to be decent enough, I might pick up two of those instead. But again, for which system I don't know. This dual system thing is killing me.

it's kinda of cool to see the difference in terms of skill. i'm somewhere near the bottom. hondas are too good, played a gief that i couldn't beat, a couple of dhalsims, and a pretty ridiculous chun that i couldn't touch at all.


still trying to figure out who to play. it's been boxer/zangief/ken/chun/sagat/ryu.

also the one thing i hate on GGPO is that wakeup reversals are impossible.

well, if you don't have a static IP, then when you forward your ports it might not go to the right computer. i have a dynamic one but i just change it all the time.

Or you can try enabling UPnP. I don't know if GGPO supports it but it should. The other things to check are firewalls and spyware blockers...

Having multiple computers doesn't matter, I have 5 connected to mine as well as some gaming systems.

They need to do something with KoF XII to become more accepted in the states. The KoF series has always been overshadowed by Capcom titles. I'm sure the new higher res sprites will attract some people, but SFIV has already gone 3D.

If you're open to a Pro-Wrestler, you can't go wrong with Wolf Hawkfield. Giant Swing and Frankensteiner ring outs, three and outing with the Back Body Drop......Good times.....I wish I didn't completely finish VF5's Quest mode....:cry::cry::cry:

[DarthPuma]

Is Virtua Fighter PS3 worth picking up even though it doesn't have online and such?

Racked up 30 hours with the Quest mode and I have no online(I have Live Silver) or local challengers. I played it until I COMPLETELY finished the Quest mode. I think it's my favorite fighting game since Dead or Alive: Ultimate.

I'll check it out then, since it's so cheap.

I have a 360 too. Is it worth fighting the controller for that version?

nothing other than a year really.

[controlcommerce]

Wow, no info at all. Oh well...in time.

[RelentlessRolento]

capcom once again contacted me... seems they want a video of my Little Big Planet level... gotta jump on that ASAP... as if I don't have enough things to do already... (ie. 50 millions things >_<)

Oh, there is something alright... You'll all see soon.

It'll be a big bang. ;)

Oh Markman and your ambiguity.

I love it.

[RelentlessRolento]

I hate it in that good sort of way.

[MarkMan]

keep your eyes glued on Capcom Unity... RR and I are going to be reppin on that front page. ;)

I used the 360 controller's stick and had the difficulty set to "Hard" and it balanced out quite nicely. It takes a little getting used to and it's not as responsive as a D-pad, but it's at least serviceable. Getting all 1000 Gamerscore points in VF5 gave me the biggest sense of pride since Tomb Raider: Legend. I loved it.


For those of you who haven't heard, the NXE update for the 360 goes live at 2 A.M. PST. I'll (hopefully) be doing live play-by-play and hands-on impressions for NXE on my Twitter (http://twitter.com/BlueSwim).8-) I've got three people crashing on my couch(:drool::drool::drool:) so I'm not sure if I will be able to do it this evening or if I'll have to wait until tomorrow.

Confirmed Gameplay Features

Heat Gauge - Equivalent to Tension Gauge, broken into quarters on screen.
Barrier Gauge - Used to power your "Barrier", which is equivalent to Faultless Defense. Gradually regenerates after using.
Barrier Crush - When Barrier Gauge hits 0, it is temporarily disabled and you will take extra damage until it comes back.
Barrier Burst - Equivalent to Bursts. Knocks enemy away and reduces your Barrier Gauge to 0, but temporarily raises your attack. Done by pressing all 4 buttons, and can only be used once per round.
Distortion Drives - Overdrives/Super Moves, uses 50% Heat Gauge.
Drive Button - Allows each character to perform a special action specific to that character, and is very important to how that character plays.
Rapid Cancel - Equivalent to Roman Cancels. Takes 50% Heat Gauge and is preformed by pressing Weak+Med+Strong.
Counter Assault - Equivalent to Dead Angle. Takes 50% Heat Gauge and is preformed by pushing forward+Weak+Med while guarding.
Throw/Throw Break - Done by pressing (Backward/Forward +) Weak+Med.
-> All throws are comboable in BB, including 360s and supers (which should probably be fixed, at least for supers). All are more easily techable if they are comboed.
-> Throw breaks are easier than in GG.
Recovery - Just like recovery in GG, except you can also do a "roll recover" when knocked from the air to the ground.

Nice!

here's a crappy off-screen capture of my Street Fighter level... not the best quality but decent:

I actually looked for a video of your level a few hours ago. Not one existed until just now. Nice.

So, what system are you sons gettin' that SFII HD for? I still haven't decided myself, but if the two versions were identical (hypothetically, of course), I'd probably pick up the one for the system with more important people playing on it. Markman doesn't count - he's already got it for both systems and he'll totally be sick of the game by the time us scrubs get our chance :(

Oh, and the 360 got that silly XEN XNE ENX EXN whatever the fuck it was called update, didn't it? I'm gonna download that this morning and try to make an avatar dude who doesn't look like he's in the process of getting his ass sucked on by Jiminy Glick. I don't know if it's possible - Rare designed this shit, so of course, it looks absolutely retarded.

That company needs some lovin' from Chapter 7.

[RelentlessRolento]

same as chac... can't decide on what system to get it for... I'll be going mostly to whatever fighter thread people get, but possibly both consoles since I have a ton of credit on both.

still don't know what to think of the NXE... really don't like the avatar crap to be honest.

also apparently UNO is getting a new theme pack of SFIIHD cards... >_<

[RelentlessRolento]

yeah NXE is a pain in the ass to navigate... I'll need an arcade stick to get good at it.

[RelentlessRolento]

worth a watch due to the fighters:

So we all know 360 HD Remix is 26th... but PS3 is official now too, 25th.

[mrchainsaw]

Get SSFIITHDR for 360! That's what I'm doing at least. It's not really much of an option without a PS3. :D

And just in case you thought you knew what to expect from Street Fighter, think again. In addition to all the Street Fighter DLC, I'm also excited to announce a direct-to-download album of Street Fighter-inspired hip-hop! The Street Fighter Underground Remix album will feature the musical flavor of artists such as DJ Qbert, Hieroglyphics, Redman, Oh No, DJ Toure, Mistah F.A.B. and Zion I. Each of the cuts will be available exclusively on PlayStation Network, FOR FREE, when SF HD Remix launches!
