Mmmm. When I buy things, I tend to really take durability into account. And I'll notice imperfections and problems really quickly, which is something else that bothers me.

I guess I'm starting to lean more toward just getting the $80 stick, because I can always mod it up to near-TE stick quality. That way I've got a stopgap solution in the meantime that gives me a quality controller, but allows for the expansion later on. I guess if I ever get really antsy about changing the artwork, I can find a solution to that later on.

Or hell - if this supposed second shipment of the TE appears, maybe I can use the intermittent months to consciously save for it. :p

Thanks for the input, heavyd.
 
It gives me something to do while chugging away at pointless and infuriatingly stupid sociology papers.

HERE I AM!:D Sorry about that, I had my post all typed up until I accidentally clicked something in my toolbar and it wiped my post.:bomb: I got pissed and went off and played some WWE SvR07 for a few hours. I got it for $5 at K-Mart!:D

I have a 48-hour trial I'm going to redeem when SFIV hits so if any FGT regulars want my Gamertag, just ask and I'll PM it to you.:D I've been having some connection issues lately(old modem died, "new" one isn't good), but I'll give it a shot.:cool:
 
Hmm, I just called and apparently my local GS is still taking preorders for the SFIV Collector's Edition. So now it's put-up or shut-up time! I'm still on the fence with the CE but today I'll decide one way or the other

PRO: I can get a few bonus costumes without spending MS points and feeling like a tool
CON: The "Brawler Pack" would not have been my first choice

PRO: I'm getting an HDTV soon so that anime movie sure will look nice
CON: It's just a movie and it'll probably come out on Blu-ray anyway

PRO: I am a sucker for soundtracks and it would cost a lot to import that
CON: none really

PRO: I've got $45 in gift cards; CE for $40 out of pocket is pretty sweet
CON: but is it as sweet as getting a regular edition for just twenty bucks???

Eh, I might go for it. Basically the extra $20 gets me a bunch of things that I wouldn't spend the money on individually. Like the kind of stuff I would love to get as a gift, but wouldn't have justified the expense if I had the option to buy on my own, separately. I love VG soundtracks, but they are very much in the "luxury item" spending tier for me, which I try not to indulge. And if I DID indulge in this case, I'd clearly be paying more than $20.

Ah, screw it... if the guy on the phone was legit and they really DO have some available, I'm pretty sure I'll go ahead and pre-order it. If they don't have any left, I'll just leave it at that and go for a regular version later on. It's in the hands of fate now!!!
 
Hey Busta.. why don't you order the CE from deepdiscount.com, buy the regular game when it comes out... then when you get your CE, just return the new game and keep your opened game + CE.
 
For SF4, I read somewhere that the animated feature that comes with the Collector's Edition is just a bunch of spliced scenes from the game. Wasn't that in a review somewhere? Maybe I misread it (and I hope I did), but if that's the case, then it won't be released separately (not substantial enough).
 
Count me in! I'm getting it for both 360 and PS3, and then will upgrade my MAME cab and lappy when the PC version comes out. Imagine having a laptop good enough to run SFIV...you could pack up some of those sweet, sweet PC-compatible fight pads and/or joysticks and the next time you run into somebody bumpin' their gums about how godly they are, guess what bytch....INSTANT STREET FIGHTER IV!! JUST ADD CHUMPS!!:cool:

Plus the GameStop gift cards are heavily weighing into the decision.
 
Give it a shot. If you don't like it, at least you only spent half on it. You're still $20 ahead verses the standard edition anyways. It's a win-win situation.

I'll add you to the main list Swim. I'll put a mention that you are on 48-Hour XBL Trial :)

Again for anyone popping into this thread (and I'm sure there will be a bunch as we get closer to SFIV)....

The list is for FG Thread Regulars only. CAG has SFIV threads for their respective consoles for other CAG gaming. Sorry

So I guess if I don't hear from GuileWasNK or DomLando by Friday, I will seal up the list and start organize/cleaning up.
 
Street Fighter IV launch party tonite!!

sf3.jpg


it's gonna be so tite, there's gonna be all these hollywood celebrities there that have no idea what's goin on, but it's all good coz they need something to do on thrusday nite.

and there's gonna be all these stage performances that nobody cares about coz they all wanna play street fighter lol
 
Holy shit, I used to have that SF Rock-em-Sock-em Robots thing! That was so awesome for killing time in between sessions of Street Fighter.

I wanna go to that premiere. Sounds like a fun time. But then again, Sacramento is boring, so anything would be exciting.

Whatever. Go play fighters (including SFIV) at UCD MUGA :)

I'm jealous JEKKI. Stupid work/school
 
no work is more stupid than my work... I wanna die now!!! omg!!

STREE FYE FO SUH~!! HYPEHYPEHYPE!! STREE FYE FO!! STREE FYE FOH SUH!! STREE FYE FO SUH!!
 
Woot. Looks like im changing my SFIV pre-order from PS3 to the 360. My friends want me to play SFIV with them on xbox. They pitched-in and are now sending me a system :hot:


I gotta get my practice on :whee:
 
I guess I'll be playing SFIV on a 360 pad until Amazon ships my TE stick. They better not backorder me when that time comes. . .

Damn, those are some nice friends, makstaks. :)

You've got some damn good friends.

Got my copy of Waku Waku 7 today! It's better than I thought it was going to be. I've started by using Politank Z (sp?). He seems to be the easiest to use just going by the move lists.

I remember I used the dude with the sword.

Is Waku Waku 7 as good as I remember it? Because I remember it being damn fun.

yup, great guys. I met a few of them in the arcades back when SF2 first came out! :applause:


I'll be sure to post up my gamertag here when i get the 360. I always liked how tight the FGT crew is. ;)

I'm in the same situation, sucks big time
Might grab a Fightpad when I buy my copy of SFIV since I'm an impatient bastard :p
 
[quote name='Mr. Beef']Release parties tend to only happen once. =(
Markman! Throw another release party![/quote]
Yes, please!

Why on a friggin Thursday? Friday I'm free :cry:
 
Tuesday would make sense, since games are released that day. Fri/Sat/Sun would make sense, because the weekend is party time. Thursday? No sense whatsoever, unless this exact Thursday is some anniversary, or something.
 
Rawwggh I hope my Cthulhu and LL orders ship soon. I might have to just try to rebuild my FS3 before SFIV gets here. I hate the joystick but I got 6 sanwas I can put in it. Hopefully I didn't fuck up the PCB, it looks pretty bad. Waiting to have a function stick is going to be hard. At least if I wait I can save $20 and get it from Amazon with free shipping.

I don't have school in 2 weeks, so ANY TIME during the 23rd to the 27th I'll be SO DOWN for SFIV or even STHD.
 
GG's option. I think my pad is pretty much done for fighting games. The D-pad is pretty worn out and getting hard to execute. Good job beating up the random people coming in :)
 
alright I went ahead and placed my SFIV pre-order!! Looks like I'll be in for Day 1 after all (or whichever day Wednesday ends up being... "Day 2" I guess?). I am also entitled to Ryu's headband, although I doubt Ryu actually wore a headband with the Street Fighter IV logo on it.

Oh and I learned that there is apparently a bootleg SFIV arcade machine like ten minutes from my apartment?!?!? According to the GameStop guy it's at "Tri-County," which is this weird indoor flea market type of place. I'll have to check that out, just to see it (not much sense paying a dollar per game to play it at this point).

Anyway I'll be roughing it on the 360 pad for a week or so but it'll be fun to be a part of the launch frenzy! Heh I can just imagine what it's gonna look like going through my friends list next week...
 
For those of you who are curious/interested, I'm going to work on cleaning up/organizing my SFIV FGT list tonight.

Can't wait to start playing SFIV with all you guys.

Finalized list. fuck that took me a while to do. Also if you can is there a way to change the HTML, so the titles of each section (FGT Both Consoles, X360, Etc.) are a lot larger than the name following it? Post it up in the OP Rolento (Thanks!)....please include the photo in the first post....

Thanks everyone! :)

Just thought it would be easier to have something like for all of us to reference. Cuts down on what will be a busy *forever* in this thread when SFIV drops.

Does anyone know how to change font size on the board?

I usually "go advanced" when I quote or post and all of the controls are at the top if you don't want to type them in. If you don't have them, go to the User CP and go to Edit Options under Settings and Options, then it's the first option in the Miscellaneous Options section; Message Editor Interface. I use the Standard Editor - Extra Formatting Controls.
