This day quickly turned amazing. Seeing the GS I pre-ordered at kept telling me Wednesday, I decided to call around in-between my morning classes. Found out via a manager a GS about 30 minutes away got added to a small list of stores in the district that got their copies today (the 17th)

Skipped PoliSci and got my PS3 copy :)

I'll probably get my money back for the pre-order I put down at my local GS.

WOOOOOOOOOO!!!
 
[quote name='DaFederal']Anyone get their headband? None at my local store.[/quote]
fuck!!! I forgot all about it!#-o#-o#-o

To whom it may concern, the CE copy of the game is not the exact same as the normal SE of the game, the movie is in the case too(360 version).
 
I'm on my lunch break, but the store wont have it until 2PM.

that really sucks, coz the store is hella far... I coulda picked it up during my hour long break instead of coming home an hour later.

o well

[quote name='blitz6speed']p.s. - One thing i need to know is, is there ANYWAY to get out of abels 4-hit combo where he throws you at the end? The guy i played online used it a lot and i tried everything to stop it but could NEVER get out of it, he was quite good with it as well.[/QUOTE]


4 hits? the rekka only hits thrice, unless he cancels it from like a crouching forward or strong or something...

regardless it is a combo so once you get hit once, you keep getting hit. just figure out how to block it, the first hit is mid, but depending on his next input the second hit can either be low or an overhead, so a lot of ppl get hit by it coz theyre always blocking low.

but if u go for a low attack instead of the overhead, it does not combo, or at least I think it does not... you can recover from blockstun before the next hit comes

Blueswim, Cammy looks sooo thong-tastic. Makes me wanna play her just for the, uh, crack shoots.[/QUOTE]

WTF TERRY BOGARD IN SFIV LIZING TACO!!
 
Picked mine up a couple minutes ago. Went to another GS to see if I could swap Fightpads (Got Ryu but I want Ken), and some girl popped open her PS3 CE and sat around waiting for someone pick up a 360 CE so she could trade the Ryu figure for C.Viper.
She got all giddy when it finally happened :/

Apparently the GS' in my area only got one Fightpad per console, so two in total. According to them they'll get more tomorrow, so I'm fighting the urge to open mine in hopes of Ken showing up :D

Bad News: Internet got shutdown today! TODAY of all days because I didn't pay the bill...

:'(

That's really cute. Made me smile.

Lesbo.

But [nerd] kudos to her for wanting a CE and being a collector. :lol:

I gotta ask...think your priorities might be a little out of line? :D
 
Gonna pick up my copy here in a couple of hours from Game Crazy
Hoping that they have the CE, but I will grab the SE if that's all they have
I can probably get the soundtrack and movie elsewhere... :p
I didn't want the C.Viper figure at all either

Edit: I actually like the opening music too. Must be because I'm asian?[/QUOTE]

OMG! Me too!

I agree with Suko, this game is amazing. I had been playing it at SJSU for 3 months and I still have this sense of awe playing it now.

Abel is TOO fun.
 
[quote name='Jimbo Slice']No place around here will have it today :bomb:[/quote]:/ I couldn't find the CE anywhere. At least, I got the Horizontal SFIV faceplate.
 
The PS3 CE is a much lower run than the 360 from what I can tell. Several of the places I asked said that their allocation of PS3CE's were significantly smaller than their 360s.

BUT, I picked up both today and I'm so so happy. Got to play a bunch at the Gamestop. They set it up on the 360 (why they didn't on the PS3 with a better controller is beyond me).
 
Don't worry, Beef. Seems like the same situation here for me. After watching that GT review, I'm itching to play Cammy. Er, maybe that wasn't the right analogy to make, butt I've hit bottom.
 
So far so good with all the online shizz. Suko and I played a handful of matches. Didn't notice any lag.

Played with a bunch of randoms and haven't noticed anything too bad.
 
OH MY GOD!!!!

I don't have SF4, but I played it at a friend's house. That shit is $$$$$$$$. Holy fuck. It's been so long since I've played a new game that was this fun.

Since all the chars I wanted to play like Gouken and Fei Long were locked, I mostly played Ken. I tried Abel briefly and wasn't a fan. But I tried C Viper and actually liked playing that slut a lot.

Holy fuck, game is so good.
 
I noticed absolutely no lag when fighting online. Inufaye and I played about 10 perfect matches. Had a few disconnects, but other then that, flawless.
 
Well, I'm trying to resurrect the STHDR (PS3) CAG Nights. It'll be held Thursday evenings from now on. Click on the link in my sig for more info. So if you have a PS3, STHD, and wouldn't mind sparing some of your time for a CAG night, come and join!

[quote name='kainzero']why does everyone keep hating the sf4 intro song

exile is awesome.

you guys like abdc and not exile, that make no sense[/QUOTE]
I'm sorry but that was bad. I'm not too fond of hip hop and if Japanese guys are basically emulating American hip hop (the kind with black people), then it never feels right. BTW, isn't exile basically two guys and the rest are just dancers. But those dancers are "part" of the group... weird.
 
i'll bite on sf4. i'll check if they have it today.

and maybe pick up an SE, i bought mod stuff because i wanted to mod the EX2 but guess i won't need that anymore. hahah
 
1. I also like the theme song. For some reason, I've always kinda liked J-pop
2. I'm really on the fence here, so I'd love some FGT input:
I love fighting games, but mainly the faster based combo heavy ones. (Favorite 2D fighters include: Nightwarriors, Marvel Super Heroes, MVC2, JoJo's, Guilty Gear etc.) I've never been able to get into KoF (XI was fun for a short while, but idk what it was, it just never clicked), SFIII or Alpha (though Alpha 3 gave me some good times, it was never a mainstay). Now, I played Turbo back in the day religiously, but even HD remix was just too old school for my post MvC2/GG days.

Now my question: Is SFIV right for me? From the vids, it looks much faster than the older SF games, but most of the vids I've seen are either high level play or super combo compilations, so they may be skewed. Looks like a ton of fun, but I'm not sure it's right for my style of fighters.

Opinions appreciated! Thanks.
 
@gunm: You know what makes Cam's epic thong even better? The fact that she both kicks ass AND has a great one. I just unlocked her and everything is feeling just right.:D:D:D

I don't think C. Viper will be someone I'll be maining, at least at the moment. About 50 losses to Abel and Seth will do that to you.:lol::lol::lol:
 
sadly, there is definite lag on the old brewery level or whatever its called on 360, and wayyyyyy too many people will kick you, and when the fuck could you kick people out of ranked matches?!?!?!? im completely unimpressed with the online so far:shame:
 
Word to the wise: If you're planning on unlocking all characters in a timely manner, it's a good idea to turn off the open challenge option during arcade mode. I got challenged no less than 10 times all with my first 3 matches.

I did wipe the floor with all the people whose challenge I accepted. So far I have a perfect match record on Live.

Oh and Capcom: fuck you for pulling that tiny-ass font bullshit you did with Dead Rising. Some people still don't have HDTVs, you know. I don't wanna get a headache trying to make out what the text on-screen says.

As a new HDTV owner (just made the jump mid-January), I can completely sympathize. Eyestrain for the loss. Thank god this isn't an RPG :lol:
 
Today I remembered why I don't shop at Game Crazy...
Called them up last night and I asked them if they'd have Street Fighter IV today
They told me yes

I walk in there today to grab it and the same idiot I talked to on the phone told me they don't have it

I'll grab the CE at Best Buy tomorrow :(
 
I got my CEs today!

And that second pic... I'm thinking of putting it up as a prize for a contest on sdt... I need to get Seth's autograph first to make it complete...
 
Yeah, hopefully it'll be at the first store I get to tommorow. Because trudging through 5 o'clock traffic makes me really pissy.

Its like suddenly everyone turns into violent baboons and begins to defecate on themselves while turning any direction at any speed they feel like.
 
awww... I drove like 300 miles in the rain, then had to wait for 300 hours in line coz the store was crowded as fukk and they were understaffed...

and they were like "oh, we didnt get the CE versions in yet... theyll be here at 10AM tomorrow"

but they had a freakin HUGE ass box filled with regular editions!!

2 big boxes, one for each system.
 
I had a really bad day. I was gonna pick up SFIV on my way to work and my car was missing. I quickly found out it got towed cause I parked in someone elses spot at my apt complex, which is complete BS cause that's been my spot for the last 4 years. After some choice words with the managment (who could care less) I had my wife rush me over to pick up my car and had to go strait to work. So yeah, I'll be picking it up tomarrow.
 
[quote name='kainzero']no sf4 for me

no SE either
i'll just go to bb tomorrow

but i got dq5![/quote]


same... except instead of dq5 I have a c++ assignment due thursday. all i can think of is sfiv though
 
My 360 is coming back from the dead so I hope to play some of you guys soon! It should come back within a week and a half.

Also, GG's asiancore! It was pretty fun playing you. My roomate loves my El Fuerte cause I'm so bad with him compared to others. Huge difference lol.
