I know that chances of DLC for SF4 for Super are slim, but why not give the option, ya know? If i already own SF4, id be willing to pay 30 for all the new stuff and continue using my disc. Oh well.

Perfect World Scenario: This is what I want, and probably what a lot of people want
- DLC for Super Street Fighter IV stuff
- Super Street Fighter IV collection on a retail disc
Is that so hard for Capcom to do?
Hey, it seems like Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe is going to get a re-release (semi?) with Warner as the Publisher, as it got re-rated by the ESRB.
EDIT: Ta-da?

The reworking of some of the toons is what I am waiting to hear about.
Some of that art is pretty damn good RR. Though the author of the game descriptions is very lacking.

So much respect for that man. Valle rules.
Just like with the first game, the hardcore fans as well as the high level players (and those who want to honestly get there) will stick around and the ones who need something randomly new to play will disappear. I have this gut feeling all of the people who sold SFIV with their flowchart characters, will pick up SSFIV and return the cycle.
Fei doesn't have too many options, but I played KillaKelly's (Top Marvel player from NorCal) Fei recently and he ran all over my mains.
Also I just thought about this today. If Capcom makes me play any Time Trials/Survival to unlock COLORS in SSFIV, I'm going to kick someone in the head.

I'm glad to hear about SSFIV. I want more characters to learn. Hopefully they'll have more hard trails and normal trails. I could care less about survival and time attack. And 2 player bonus stages too. I'm really taking interest in Juri, I like fast characters but hate the low life and low damage of them.

Ken does need a buff you corn eating yuppie! Granted, not nearly as big as some other characters, he just needs a couple things tweaked and maybe something new that works well and he will be buff.

I can see a tweak or two, but what would you buff about him. He already does so much very well, it's hard for me to see him needing any kind of buff.
Am I the only person who could care less that DeeJay is back? T.Hawk, cool, DeeJay is just a waste to me. Would like to know for sure if more of the 3rdS crew is coming back in though.

09-30-2009, 05:47 AM
I would change the frame data on a few of his normals to reflect that of Ryu's, or at least be similar in that he would have alot more links than he currently does. I think I would change his hadouken just a little bit, because it is garbage and Ken's is always supposed to be bad, but its borderline unusable in SFIV most of the time. From full screen, on reaction, Seth can do his wall jump and air roundhouse Ken before he finishes recovering from his fireball, that's just stupid.
On top of that add something to make up for his lack of damage on his fadc ultra, maybe just make it do 80 more damage or something without animation, because as it stands its pretty bad compared to most ultras above mid tier.
His tatsu's are fine, I would leave them as is, although I don't understand why he has like 3 times the recovery that ryu does from his air tatsus (except for ex).
His air normals are fine, I don't believe he needs something like Ryu's j mp because of his mixup capabilities.
His srk's are fine for the most part since they do nice damage, have reasonable recovery, and most importantly have excellent horizontal range. However, his mp srk doesn't knock down on the first hit, I would change that since often on the ground the opponent will eat 80 damage from the first hit and then the second will just whiff, and they will be open to punish Ken all day. Fierce srk doesn't knock down on first hit either, but this happens much farther away so it's alright to me, the mp version whiffs from a stupidly close range.
Granted, this is how I would balance him to be mid/upper tier in SFIV, not SSFIV which will likely be completely different in balance, if past Street Fighter updates are any indication.

I can see some of those are reasonable, but I have to disagree with any changes to his fireballs. They are just meant to counter other projectiles or close the gap/ add pressure(<-- kinda). Full screen fb with ken is just asking for someone to punish you. I don't see how they could change his recovery time on them at all with out making his the same as Ryu. Ken is at 47 while Ryu is at 45.
With adding more dmg to his ultra, I will agree with that. I would honestly say 85-90 more. It should be more punishing than it currently is. Or just up the stun gauge on it or something, but it should be tweaked more.
If anything I would like to see more of his l/m srk have a lead up more like his super starts. I think that would remove any whiffs, on top of adding a little more range which should be there anyway. Ken is a in your face toon. No reason more of his moves should not help close the gap.
I know the hurricane kicks are another Ryu move, but these I feel are Kens weakest moves. Ryus are so much better than Kens in every way. Stun/dmg/Recover. They should at least give him the same recover as Ryu on these, or at least his l/m.
Eh but who knows what they will do with Super, pretty damn hyped all the same.

Nope. All I'm saying is what happened with the release of SFIV in terms of seasoned and new players, will happen again with SSFIV. The idea that some people think communities will be split because of a Console-Only release is kind of silly. Anyway, I am definitely in support of SSFIV getting an Arcade Release as well as a Console Release. Even with all my crew around and friends, playing in an Arcade is a completely different experience than Console.

Agreed 100%. I think his main is usually Gouken, but his Fei was nuts. Mostly because of what you mentioned, his fundamentals were tight and he had a strong idea of spacing with Fei.

america needs to move to console.
you go to japan you have a lot of good players playing all the time.
you go to an american arcade there's one machine and you have to wait 10 minutes for your turn.
before it was a problem because console wasn't arcade accurate, sticks were hard to get, and there was no internet to meet people. that's not true anymore.
i levelled up hard at T5 when i was in SD when my buddy afam would hold console gatherings. 3 consoles, everyone played and traded off, good stuff.
now i like arcades because it means someone ain't in my house and i'm not in some random person's house
but console needs to be embraced if we want to get better as a whole.
japan needs arcade just to keep usa vs japan interesting, but we don't need it.

I will not shed a single tear if there i no arcade release. The people saying that they'll quit if there is none? Sucks for them, just means less competition for me at next year's EVO.
Whatever happened to people wanting to find out techniques on their own instead of this "can't Japan just do it?" mentality? I <3 the community, but damn, it can be pretty fuckin' stupid at times.

it's easy for Valle to say something like that, considering he NEVER shows up to weekly ranbats.
if this game doesnt get an arcade release, you're taking so much away from the community. arcade ranbats will end, thus we wont be putting out videos anymore, japan will stop playing, and the game will turn into sum casual soul calibur shyt while we all move back to 3S.
You sound just like the people on GAF and SRK.

Throwing my hat in the "disappointed in a RETAIL Super SFIV but will probably buy it anyway" pile. I was hoping that this style of game updates would remain a relic of the SNES age.
I think Burnout Paradise would have been a good template to follow here. That game showed that you can do some huge, game-altering DLC and make it work. There's plenty of optional modes and content, as well as a bunch of tweaks they added to the base game like day/night shifts, checkpoints, and the ability to re-start a race. It was great seeing these incremental changes, many of which were in direct response to complaints people had about the game in its original state. It was like a modern-day equivalent of seeing a new arcade revision come out, and I hoped we'd see fighting games follow a similar example. :-(
Mr. Beef
09-30-2009, 06:34 PM
A couple of my favorite posts from GAF concerning the non-arcade decision...
hype train hit a brick wall, passengers are outside arguing with each other, I am patiently waiting inside for the shit to get fixed.
The passengers were bitching about fare rates when the train was running!
I haven't been on SRK for a good few months, but jesus, the shitstorm that's brewing there is tremendous. There's even an internet petition, the last refuge for the desperate.
@Busta: Ono statted that the amount of content that is being added on was too much for a DLC add-on. While it's questionable to some, either way it still means that I'll be playing it, so smiles all around.
Well, as long as people keep buying, Capcom will keep re-releasing the same game but "different". It's all bid-niss, bay-bee... >_<
Edit: Sorry for the stupid question, but why does Japan and their videos have to dictate everything the community over here does?
Mr. Beef
09-30-2009, 07:29 PM
Edit: Sorry for the stupid question, but why does Japan and their videos have to dictate everything the community over here does?
Sarcastic response: Because people are nut-hugging weaboos.
Less-sarcastic "REAL TALK" response: Typically, games will arrive in Japan before we get them, which means months more experience, which means they find out things before we do. The JP players tend to play a lot more than your average US player (a LOT more), which means they usually have the time to find out about these Super-Special Awesome techniques that end up on Youtube for everyone to see.
What some people (mainly SRK, some on GAF) are complaining about is that the lack of an arcade release is going to make this disappear outright, which is the most ludicrous statement I've heard in the past week. As I mentioned before, I <3 this community, but...lordy.

I don't see what the problem is here. Arcades are all but dead in the states and have been for a long time now. The number that are left that even have a SF4 cab in them is out right laughable. If people are so worried about it killing off the scene why not host your own events? Other gaming groups have been doing it for years now, and if people really are that worried then they will put in the work to keep it around and help it grow. And unless you go to jpn to play there, no one should even be bring it up how it affects the scene, its not your scene, don't worry about it.
As for it not being dlc, really this is a problem? Now getting a physical copy of a game is a bad thing? SF isn't the only fighter that has been doing this, and for me I hope this never changes. The logic behind this complaint is something I can't grasp.
I have to agree with Beef on the video aspect. Simply put, people should get off their lazy ass and put the work in themselves. There is a reason flowcharts get made fun of, now people are panicing because they can't be one wtf.
SSF4 is going to be great, they are bring in two old toons that fans have asked for along with two new ones, and maybe even some of the cast from 3rdS. This addition is going to kick all kinds of ass, and if its that big of a deal their is always Tekken, KoF, and BB.
I agree with you Beef. There's no good reason for a lack of arcade release to kill competitive SSFIV, but if the community is unwilling to adjust, then I guess that's that.

Isn't Evo, perhaps the most significant event in competitive gaming, strictly console anyway?

as I said how it's easy for Valle to make a statement, it's real easy for u guys to be cool with a no arcade release since it doesnt affect any of you and thus u cannot relate the loss.
plain and simple it is a loss, it takes away a huge part of the community, what built the community, and a foundation that keeps the community alive. You say I sound like gaf and srk? No shyt, becoz guess what we've been doing since the game came out in arcade last year?!?!
u guys say evo this evo that but u kno what? Evo is one event, ONE out of a whole year, can the community really be justified with one event?? Sure you can organize console gatherings, but that's like saying the arcade only opens a few times a month instead of 7 days a week.
That's the beauty of arcade at least here in socal, NY, texas, philly, or any other area where an arcade community strives. You can go on srk and post in regionals "BB/SF4/3S tonite! go go go!" and expect some comp on a whim. It's convenient and accessible to people like myself who do not kno many people, who do not have the time to dedicate constant allegiance to a gaming facility, and for a person who just wants to let off stress for a random evening.
and it's accessibility that will hurt local console communities becoz if u dont kno, Blazblue/accent core communities are primarily console based, and as much as I love those games it's hard for me to get real good at them since my available time for social gaming barely provides me the opportunity to get too acquainted with the main players. Even if I can post online in their discussion forums, real life responsibilities get in the way of truly leveling up to the point of gaining online respect, and the last thing I wanna do in roll to someone's house feeling uninvited. An open arcade community would break down this barrier, but again as BB/AC have their communities in each others houses we dont even see regular tournies for these games outside evo and wcw, whereas in the past 3 weeks I can count four local SF4 tournaments that occured in los angeles area off the top of my head
if the community became truly console based, cliques are gonna form. One group of friends here, another there, an online group here. It'll be segregated, and we can only hope for events that'll bring these groups together and do it often. But as is the example of the GG/BB community, itll be hard. Even Tekken in console based, and during DR ranbats few years ago I could overhear ppl talking shyt on SD players.
as far as SF is concerned, we currently have a very healthy balance of arcade and console community as many venues have been gracious enough to host tournaments for us. That's the key, we can have both. But if you take one away it's going to hurt no matter what.

Hope that's not shot my way.
Even before SFIV dropped, my crew and I drove almost every weekend almost 2 hours to MGL/SVGL.
Why did we do that when we had an arcade 30 minutes away (10 for them) that had all the games we played at MGL/SVGL. The competition was better, the environment was hype, the players were friendly and it was worth it to burn gas (CA prices) and money to get this experience.
When I heard SFIV was in the Bay Area at SJSU, I made the 2 hour drive there every other weekend to play. Again burning gas, parking costs on SJSU campus and sacrificing many hours of sleep with work the next day.
I do see the lack of an arcade release as a loss for community as we want to keep it tight-knit and not completely exclusive (sort of like the Smash community *ducks*) but part of me feels like there is nothing I can do and Capcom could care less.
Console tourneys and gatherings are also really hard to get together because people have lives. People live with their mates, girlfriends, boyfriends, parents, etc etc. We can't always rely on getting so many unknowns (and friends) at said gathering all the time. At least with an arcade I know it's always there and open from X to X. I think both Console and Arcade have benefits, we just need to figure out as a community how to integrate both.
I don't think any of us "who can't relate" are saying no arcade isn't a loss, it's just that a real community would still stick together and make something happen. Someone so passionate about the arcade scene would find a way to bring in consoles or whatever it took to keep that going and not rely on Capcom or any big business to do that for them. I can't imagine an arcade owner would not want to host an SSFIV console night to drum up business or retain the business they get.
Unfortunately, arcades are no where near as mainstream as they once were and I don't see that trend changing any time soon.
BustaUppa
10-01-2009, 05:17 PM
Yeah it's not that I can't respect the sense of loss per se... just that I could see why a company might decide to skip an arcade release in the gaming/economic climate of 2009. Believe me, I long for the days when I could walk to the video store for some Hyper Fighting, then run across the street to the card shop and fuck around in the Rainbow Edition they had over there. :oldman:

stuff
i like arcades because you don't have to set anything up. you just show up. that is true.
however, arcade machines are growing more and more costly and in america, they've never adjusted for inflation. 25 cent pacman was worth way more than 25 cent street fighter. therefore, you show up to the arcade, you get in one turn every 10 minutes because there's only one machine, that ain't fun.
that means, the best way to get better is in fact, to go to console gatherings. you can get lots of people playing all at once.
but i hate going to people's houses. it's not fun and kinda shady. it's like if i wanted to go play basketball i had to call everyone up and meet on someone's court at home instead of playing pickup at the park.
the only, only way i can see that happening is if people somehow were able to adopt gaming consoles into arcades along with a good income model.
i know it's feasible.
i just don't wanna do it.
Mr. Beef
10-01-2009, 06:33 PM
For the record, Smash tournaments happen very frequently every month. If they can do it, why not the SF community? You never see them complaining about a "lack of competition" because their game is on a console.
I've mentioned that not getting an arcade release isn't a big deal, and I stand by that. But the thing that confuses me is that if people have the time to go to the arcade, how do they not have time to play each other on a console instead? Seems a bit odd to me. The argument that "I don't have a console" is a bit tired at this point, especially since a 360/PS3 and a copy of SFIV are relatively cheap now.
If this was happening say, 6-7 years ago, I could understand people talking about how it's hard to find people to play with online. But c'mon now, people. Everybody is connected nowadays, so how is it tough to find good competition?

It IS a huge loss if there is no arcade release. Why wouldnt they do that? Makes no sense. And yah, just like no one considers soul calibur or smash a serious fighting game, the same would happen to SSF4. That doesnt mean its not going to rock, it just wont be taken seriously since its console only. I still want it badly so i can show noobs online the fury of a pink t.hawk, but i agree with the people saying it needs a arcade release.

plain and simple it is a loss, it takes away a huge part of the community, what built the community, and a foundation that keeps the community alive. You say I sound like gaf and srk? No shyt, becoz guess what we've been doing since the game came out in arcade last year?!?!
u guys say evo this evo that but u kno what? Evo is one event, ONE out of a whole year, can the community really be justified with one event?? Sure you can organize console gatherings, but that's like saying the arcade only opens a few times a month instead of 7 days a week.
That's the beauty of arcade at least here in socal, NY, texas, philly, or any other area where an arcade community strives. You can go on srk and post in regionals "BB/SF4/3S tonite! go go go!" and expect some comp on a whim. It's convenient and accessible to people like myself who do not kno many people, who do not have the time to dedicate constant allegiance to a gaming facility, and for a person who just wants to let off stress for a random evening.
and it's accessibility that will hurt local console communities becoz if u dont kno, Blazblue/accent core communities are primarily console based, and as much as I love those games it's hard for me to get real good at them since my available time for social gaming barely provides me the opportunity to get too acquainted with the main players. Even if I can post online in their discussion forums, real life responsibilities get in the way of truly leveling up to the point of gaining online respect, and the last thing I wanna do in roll to someone's house feeling uninvited. An open arcade community would break down this barrier, but again as BB/AC have their communities in each others houses we dont even see regular tournies for these games outside evo and wcw, whereas in the past 3 weeks I can count four local SF4 tournaments that occured in los angeles area off the top of my head
if the community became truly console based, cliques are gonna form. One group of friends here, another there, an online group here. It'll be segregated, and we can only hope for events that'll bring these groups together and do it often. But as is the example of the GG/BB community, itll be hard. Even Tekken in console based, and during DR ranbats few years ago I could overhear ppl talking shyt on SD players.
as far as SF is concerned, we currently have a very healthy balance of arcade and console community as many venues have been gracious enough to host tournaments for us. That's the key, we can have both. But if you take one away it's going to hurt no matter what.
edit--
anyway, large rant aside, http://www.iplaywinner.com/news/2009/10/1/super-street-fighter-4-to-hit-arcades-after-all.html
Well GG more a console based community because of how many versions come out. It is not even possible for an arcade to try to keep up with that, they will loose money. BB at least here isn't getting the love in arcades to keep it a main arcade game, hell there is only one cab in china town. No one wants to play a single game once evey ten min. Though BB1.5 is getting a arcade release so maybe it will pick up.
I am not saying you or anyone else should go to a random persons house to play, fuck that. I wouldn't do it and wouldn't expect anyone else to. Though events are held here at least ( more during the summer ) where people rent out halls at hotels and the turn out is pretty damn good. There is a more widespread names here of people who just put together these events than what people know of just the youtube warriors, evo champs.
Socal has the numbers and more names than any other place in the states. I don't understand why more events like Bar Fights couldn't take place. Is it the same as arcades, hell no. But it keeps live action going.
Will it suck if it doesn't come out on arcade sure, but I think it will affect Socal more than any other place here. Smaller events happen here enough, and maybe I am not worried about to much because I am that GG/BB player and have just gotten use to it being this way.
Real life can get in the way of arcades as well. Those groups you mentioned are not always a bad thing, it keeps out the normal casuals you have to play before someone real comes along that you could learn from, but then again this mindset is what the GG people get bashed on for the most.
Imo, I think it will affect Socal the most, because 90% of your scene is based in the arcades, but from that you guys have a huge community to pull from, with the names to put events together to keep shit going all the same. Might have to adapt some to how it changes but I think you guys will be just fine.

Hey, how about this angle: Couldn't it also be said that the current version of SFIV never got an arcade release? With all the console-exclusive characters, it's kind of like the version of SFIV we play on 360, PS3, and PC really has no arcade counterpart.

I'm casual i.e. I've played a ton of fighters, but I'm laid back, I don't go out looking for competition too hard, etc. I'm more of a huge fan of them than hardcore into them. I'm not going to be analyzing frame data anytime soon, for example, though I might gleam strategies and combos off of videos. I really need to move to an area with local competition.
In the end, who cares if you are hardcore or casual, if it's for arcade or home, or whatever? Just play. Keep the <3, spread the <3, and enjoy it.

When you start playing fighting games based on memorized frame data numbers is when you've gone too "hardcore" with the genre, IMO. It's one thing to know from experience that the start-up for move x is kinda slow, but when you know the numerical data for said move off the top of your head is another thing entirely. I know there's a community for players like that, but I think they take it too seriously. They play just to prove their "elite" skills, nothing more.
I just don't think enough people play fighting games for the fun of it anymore. Fighting is about quick reaction and instinct, not numbers.

I really doubt anyone knows the frame rates for each toon out there, or could even list off the data for their player of choice. People use frame rates to learn how to make better combos work, seeing what can link better with x move, or what would be a better counter for y.
I see this as no different from people who play sports games and know that picking a play over another will work better for what they want to do. Or a fps knowing the specs of a weapon will work out better in a given situation than some other weapon. Same could be said for rpgs or rts.Fighters have frame data, the system is based off of this data, I think a lot of you have a strong misconception of those who enjoy working out the ins and outs of fighting games.
Some enjoy learning the specs of what they like to play, I don't think it is because they want to prove how " elite " they are, they just want to know why something works and why it wouldn't.

Very true.. lack of arcade release isn't a big deal. Japan is going to stop playing? OH NOZ WHAT WILL WE DO NOW?!!? I doubt Japan will stop playing, they have PS3's don't they?
Also, GGs to shinryuu. Your Abel is pretty solid. I was going nuts when our last match ended, it was sooo close. Sorry I had to leave after only a few matches.
I noticed you guys were talking about character changes a few pages back, I want buffs for these guys: DEFINITELY VEGA, Blanka, Honda, Chun, Sakura, Dan, Viper, Abel, and Gen.

Oh yeah.. and to the GAF/SRK minded people who think lack of arcade & console set-ups are too much of a hassle = death of the scene, you need to check out UMBC game night some time. The best players in the Mid-Atlantic come down every Wednesday and show their l33t console set-up skills.

I've mentioned that not getting an arcade release isn't a big deal, and I stand by that. But the thing that confuses me is that if people have the time to go to the arcade, how do they not have time to play each other on a console instead? Seems a bit odd to me.
We are hommies, so I am just going to say this:
When I was playing CVS2 at MGL/SVGL with friends or SFIV at SJSU, both places were there. I didn't need to call up or make plans ahead of time. I knew what time they opened and closed Sun-Sat and I just go whenever I wanted. When I was rolling out to SJSU for SFIV by myself, it was late on random weekdays and I got a handful of games in before having to head out. Just showed up basically.
Having the time to do that is completely different than having the time to setup a big get together. The last get together I went to was at some dudes house I didn't know, but someone in my crew knew. There were easily 40+ people there more than half there for SFIV. Was that something everyone just dropped by for? Nope. The guy got the house to himself and let people know about it a couple weeks ahead of time.
It's just inconvient to just randomly drop by someones house and play, friend or not. Lots of us here have jobs (some of us two jobs), significant others and all sorts of stuff going on. With Arcades I can just drop by when I have the time and it's open to me the same way a Supermarket or a Best Buy is. Though I would love to play for free on Consoles all day, with sticks I know work correctly, most of the time it's more of planned thing and ends up being harder to play because everyone has lives and plans (which change).

Blanka doesn't need anything in SSFIV. No nerfs, no buffs. Claw, on the other hand, desperately needs some invincibility frames on his backflip kick, or something. You can sit next to him after he's knocked down and start jabbing, and all he can do is block. Anything else gets hit by the jabs.

Well it requires precise timing and it's something that I've learned to do consistently. I think I should be rewarded for it. Unfortunately, I don't think the SFIV developers even knew about it.. and that's why it gets punished.

I'm hoping that too. The tekken 5 online play was horrible. :bomb:
I'm PS3 only for Tekken 6 right now. I might get the PSP version later.
What's everyone else's console of choice for T6?

awww... I searched google.
there's no Bojangles on the west coast :cry:
but at the place by my work, I can get a personal 8'' pizza (a HELLA good pizza too) and 2 pieces of fried chicken for $7!!
the week prior, I got a slice of pizza and a chili dog and the lady was like "man enjoy it while you're young, once u get older it's all over"
and in my mind I was like "wtf?!?! dont act like I didnt overhear your conversation with the other lady... you were born in 85!!!"

Casey, I actually ate Bojangles in Charlotte, NC. I was down there for the Eagles / Panthers game earlier this season. Bojangles is the truth though, I was stoked to find one like 45 minutes from me.
I also had Mr. Barbecue when I was in NC, which was also delicious. Southern food is great.

I've been to 4 different "Club Sega's" while in in Japan and only seen 1 KOF XII machine. Additionally I've seen the 360/PS3 versions in bargin bins for around $30. For Japan that's cheap.
Tekken & VF are getting lots of love however.

1.5 this winter. BB2 is already being kicked around in a few rumor mills.
Still no t6 for me. Canceled my preorder awhile ago and still see no reason to get it. 3d fighters are still poo to me.
Any luck in hunting down a copy of MB yet Rod?

Not really, I was looking for the the second MB, but couldn't find it cheaper than $40. The cheapest I saw the first was $20. I ended up not picking up either of them. No big deal, I purchased about $250 worth of games so I got a lot to keep me entertained.
Here's my haul. Most of it's junk I bought only to resell, but if you have a keen eye for games then you can find some gems:

if the free eca deal is going on, do it jim since it's mostly pointless to not do it since there's no strings attached at all.
if you still dont want to do it, let me know and I think I can prob get a 10% code for you.

I was the only guy who won from our little torrance group, but I'm the only one that's not going this upcoming weekend to the qualifiers for bar fights 2, or bar fights 2.
