Here is a site with some great info.

eventhubs.com

Also, my GC didn't get a single CE version today, and I had the PS3 version preordered. They said hopefully no later than Friday. So I did by a standard edition 360 version tho. Played a few online matches...I'm like 4-for-7 right now. Gotta get the timing down cause my muscle memory is still on SF2THDR time. So I'm gonna be spending the next few days in training, trial and arcade mode (to unlock everyone).

I'm taking a break from studying for a big Anatomy and Phys test tomorrow, but I might just half ass it and play some more SF4 until like 2 am PST, cause my class starts at 11 anywayz.

This game completes me.:cool:

Oh, and I like the theme song....though I wish there was an option to make it instrumental.
 
[quote name='Mr. Beef']I've got to babysit my little brother tomorrow, but I'll be damned if I ain't picking up SFIV tomorrow. I'll take him with me, if I have to.[/quote]

Haha! This dude at Game Crazy at 1100 this morning did just that....cruised in with his 3-yr old baby brother in the stroller acting THREE KINDS of bad.:lol:
 
[quote name='SmallWind']LOL, wait till AxC finds out about the Abel EX armor...[/QUOTE]

Still working on that and F/MK xx Dash correctly :)

Abel was who I played consistantly for the entire time I played SFIV at SJSU. I don't think I'll put as much time into anyone else. Who knows though.

[quote name='djbooba']
Asianxcore, you should have the advantage against Shotos if you make them come to you. With the roll and command throw priority, you can punish all their mistakes. Also the heel kick should go over fireballs to make up some distance.[/QUOTE]

EX Command Throw on opponent wake-up is too funny.

On a random note, I finally unlocked everyone (console, Gouken, Seth, Akuma). More time for practice now!

[quote name='Mr. Beef']Hell yeah, tons of smack talk. Abel is a bag of shit.[/QUOTE]

I have a feeling you are going to hate me soon. No more SFHD Honda to worry about. Just Abel ;)

6 hours later, this shit is amazing. I'm just starting to scratch the surface after getting used to how the game feels. Played some people online...you can win with all focus attacks against a lot of people :lol: Gotta love the launch day of a new fighter.

but it's like Capcom didn't share any STHD info for the guys who made SFIV. No double blind picking, no viewing matches, Fei Long's chicken wing is back the original input...which forces my hand to get the HRAP now.

I can actually use the dragon punch a lot more now due to the new input though
 
Sort of glad I went ahead and went to a different Gamestop for SFIV today (Tuesday)

The Gamestop I actually pre-ordered at hasn't given me an automated call to pick up my game tomorrow. Yeesh

Mine said that too. Then it updated to 10 pounds.
 
[quote name='zewone']Mine said that too. Then it updated to 10 pounds.[/QUOTE]

That's more like it. I know it doesn't weigh anywhere near 21 pounds, unless Amazon used some heavy ass peanuts.

I'll have to wait for my buttons from Lizard Lick though, since Chad got a shitload of orders last weekend. I'm patient, I'll rock stock until I get them.
 
It was a few pages back, but I'm not helping the shoto problem with my ken.

Played quite a few matches last night, won a little over half. Played some really good people, and some really shitty ones, not much in between.

It always seems like the coolest and nicest dudes I meet on PSN fighting games are black dudes. Almost Everytime I play someone who sounds white they talk mad shit and spam the cheapest tactics possible.

Anybody else finding themselves trying to hit forward to parry?
 
So I'm probably about 15:3 in SFIV now. And I unlocked two characters. :D

Question: Can someone explain SFIV basics to me? It seems like the defense meter builds up ultras. This is the meter used for focus attacks too right? To fill that meter, you need to get hit? The other meter is used for EX attacks and supers right? To fill that meter, you have to use be offensive? How come the defense meter has a split in the center?
 
for Focus Attacks there is no metter you hit MP+MK and if you tap it, it breaks the defense quickly, hold it down all the way and its an unblockable.

When you get hit it fills your revenge meter, half way up and you can use an ultra, fill it all the way up and that ultra hits harder.

The Super meter also fills from getting hit but nowhere as fast, it relies on offense mostly, and your EX attacks take away from that meter. To do a super you need that meter full.

Also I cant stand C.Viper.

Fei Long is tits.

Game is awesome.
 
[quote name='option.iv']I can totally agree with you in regards to STHDR. E. Honda is a masher's paradise and his ridiculous invincible properties on his headbutt don't help much either. Stored Ochio is bullshit too, especially when I play Bison who pretty much is totally shutdown.[/quote]

Oh, I'm talking specifically about SFIV. I didn't bite on HD Remix...I figured if I wanted to play something like that I'd bust out the Anniversary collection.
 
After playing with the Fightpad last night, I can safely put my worries to rest. The thing felt just perfect for me. I've never used a better controller in my life for fighters. Granted, I don't have a Saturn pad handy, but as soon as I booted up SF4 and held the controller in my hands, it was perfect.

I nailed all specials and had absolutely no issues at all with the diagonals.

My only concern is with people saying it breaks after extended use... in which case, I'll be testing it over and over again to make sure it doesn't do that, heh. Hopefully, it doesn't fall apart on me, but initial impressions after 5 hours of play are superb.
 
[quote name='hankmecrankme']I wonder how much sales of it jumped this week for Amazon. :)[/QUOTE]


considering madcatz only made like 5 of each type of controller and half of them are broken, Hori probably did pretty well.
 
I can't believe I'm still up and playing this game. Shit, it's 6:40am. I hate this game because it's like crack, it's addicting. Still unlocking characters, going through challenge mode, and playing online matches.

Anyway, I (Rose) played this best of 5 online match with an Akuma. The first round starts out with the guy spamming fireballs. I'm like "ok", *uses Soul Reflect*. Eventually, I got tired of it after 10 to 15 fireballs. So, when I advanced forward; he starts moving his Akuma back into the corner like a damn turtle, spamming his standing and jumping fireballs at me.

Dude, this is like a reenactment of Super Mario Bros. on the NES = 8-bit bowser shooting his mixed fireballs up and down, while 8-bit mario avoids it. So, when I got into striking distance, I put in a couple of attack moves and focus attacks to punish him. That's when his ultra meter went up and his Akuma caught me with the raging demon taking away half of my life bar, thus I died in the first round :).

The second, third, fourth, and last round were pretty much the same routine, but this time I would jump away like a wuss whenever he got his ultra meter on full. I guess I'm a wussy turtle too, lol. I just wanted to play it safe against a spammy Akuma. In the end, I won by busting out the shamwow special move at the end. The last round was a nail-biter for me.

Alright, that's all, I just wanted to share my SF4 experience with you guys ;)
 
[quote name='ninja dog']HRAP EX on the way. I hope it's in-de-struct-ible.[/QUOTE]

How can you afford that? You just gambled away your kids' college fund on an investment!

Anyway, I'll probably order a HRAP EX tonight. Gotta cancel my BB order still.

Okay so I got that "Ashley" phone call from GameStop around noon yesterday, telling me the game was IN.

I called the GameStop just to be sure, and they said it would be in at 2PM.

When I got to the GameStop after work, around 5:30, there was a CROWD of people there just for Street Fighter... and the game still hadn't come in yet!!!! Well apparently it had been shipped, but for some reason this store had to like borrow all their copies from another GameStop in the area. So I waited in this crowd for a while until finally (after 6:00) this guy comes in with a bunch of boxes from the other GameStop. Wheeee!

Didn't get home until later but I got to mess around with the game a bit after midnight. LOVING it so far. I'm impressed by how "snappy" the controls feel and the overall look and presentation is just beautiful. I'm kinda just gonna screw around with it for this first week while I'm waiting for my stick in the mail... then I'll REALLY start digging in!

Oh and I'm wondering if anyone else had this weird issue with the CE. On that sheet of paper about the bonus costumes, there's this white rectangular space that looks like it's supposed to have a code written down. But the space is completely empty on mine! Did I get some whack defect, or are they all like that and I'm supposed to be looking somewhere else for the code?? Also the location of the soundtrack and movie discs seemed to be switched, but that's no big deal.

EDIT: aaaahhh just glanced at the gamercard thing in my sig and it's cool seeing SFIV in there :D
EDIT AGAIN: also just realized that my gamercard has three different Ryu faces in it, hahaha.
EDIT THIRD STRIKE: Or four if you count Ryu Hayabusa from Ninja Gaiden lol.

Uh oh, I'm pretty sure that the code should be on the little paper that's in the Ties that Bind case. I'm not positive, as I don't have it with me, but I seem to recall that being the case.

Did anyone else find it odd that the Soundtrack was in the Ties that Bind case? It seems that they accidentally put the wrong discs into the wrong places during production.
 
Dammit, you guys have me thinking I should go for the HRAP EX now, rather than the TE or modding my EX2.

I also have a PS2 T5 stick to mod sitting here...that I got for $20 new at gamestop a year ago.
 
I can't believe I bought the strategy guide. smh. The guy pretty much copied all the in-game stuff to paper :\

I peeled the price tag off the cellophane and stuck it on the guide. return ftw?

What would be the best way to contact Capcom about it, they got a customer service phone # or something? I'm sure if I bitched to Capcom and supplied that game register code on the back of the manual they could help me out. I'd rather try that before I exchange the game (and who knows if they'll even have replacement CE's in stock for a while...)

If you bought it at Gamestop, I know some of them won't let you return guides... although I'm sure if you're adamant enough they'll buckle. Hopefully they won't care.

I'll probably only pick up the guide because it's pretty. And even then at a discount. Likely at a penny.

I'm assuming you have the PS3 CE, which seems to be harder to come by?

You may want to try to contact someone like Sven on Capcom-Unity.com. Or create a thread in the Ask Capcom section of Capcom-Unity. They're pretty good about answering. Maybe they'll ask you to send in a picture of the codeless slip of paper and they'll give you a new code. I would try that, personally.

Yeah. Do this. I'd say it's the best course of action. You should have gotten a code.

I watched The Ties That Bind last night. It was better than what I was expecting.
Poor Cammy got the crap beaten out of her by Viper.:cry::cry::cry:
It's not perfect, but I'm glad I got it.

Does anybody have the track listing for the CE's soundtrack CD? I can't believe Capcom didn't include it. Idiots.:roll:
Just watch as it's buried somewhere in the manual I didn't look.:lol:

So... it's not just the anime cutscenes from the game? If so, that's a relief. I was totally expecting to be disappointed by it.

And, no I didn't see any track listing for the CE. Maybe Capcom will release one postlaunch for us. I just posted a thread asking.

I don't believe I've seen any reused anime footage yet. There was a TON of Viper footage in The Ties That Bind that didn't make it into her story mode's videos the game. I can't be 100% sure just yet, though.:cool::cool::cool:


Awesome! I hope they reply.:D:D:D
 
ARRRRGH!! I'm paying the price for my addiction by cramming for an hour this morning!! BAH!!

,,,,at least I unlocked Sakura and Dan for my trouble, though on more than one occasion I was ready to throw my stick through my TV while fighting Seth. Sheez!
 
[quote name='hankmecrankme']Yes, Chac, join us, the HRAPists EXtreme. :cool:[/QUOTE]

I'm already a HRAPist. Just don't do any HRAPing on the 360 yet. And unfortunately, there's not a lot to HRAPe on the PS3.

But yeah, I love the look of that TE stick and all that and I'm almost tempted to wait for it, but I'm just incredibly paranoid that the thing'll break, given the reports thus far. If I can't buy something with confidence, I'm not going to buy it.

I'll mod the shit out of my HRAP EX.
