Street Fighter IV - Gen Discussion & Info

Ryu, Blanka, and Dalsims werent that good. The rest had more action packed moves.


Does anyone have any PSD/PNGs of the Street Fighter characters cut out of those promo shots? Looking for any i can find.

[quote name='Chase']I would prefer is everyone got the 'rising sun' effect on a connected ultra move. :whistle2:k[/quote]

You mean the bright, orange flash? That only happens when you K.O. an opponent with the end of the Ultra, but I think it happens with every character.


As for the new costumes, I'm sure that the ones in the arcade will be unlocked through playing in the console version. In the arcade, the characters only had one alternate costume (but multiple colors) from what I've read. They're releasing MORE costumes as DLC. Whether or not the CE costumes will remain exclusive or not is still up for debate, but I'm sure they won't be free. And whether Capcom throws out a few downloadable costums as gimmes for free is also up for speculation.

Any Ultra move that KO's the opponent gets the "rising sun" graphical effect.
 
I too.. want to know if the CE costumes will be downloadable.. but GOD DAMN SFIV is quickly becoming my most anticipated game ever... it looks soooooooo good.
 
1UP's Game Night with the home version of Street Fighter IV is now up on GV. The video has several former 1UP editors(Shane, Ryan Scott, Greg Ford & J. Fresh, to name a few) throwing it down. It's an hour long too. There is even a money match between Garnett and Shane.


EDIT: 1UP will be doing a "pro" SFIV live stream tonight @ 5:00 PST featuring some guys from SRK. Live Stream Here.

Whoops. :oops: I sit corrected. But yes, I love that effect.

And I would love to see Shane and Milky face-off in a bout of Street Fighter 4 since we didn't get to see them fight in the 1UP Show Virtua Fighter 5 tournament. :mrgreen:

Thanks for the heads up, BlueSwim.

No problem.:cool: I was pissed that I forgot to watch the first one so I'm not about to forget the second.:lol:
 
You guys are going to need to make more than 3,000 of those sticks.

Specifically, you need to make at least 3,001. And then send that one to me for free.
 
I got my preorder in, but I'm worried I won't get a stick. It was on the last day GS was taking preorders and they had already gotten the email to stop. I guess if I don't get it the money goes towards the game.
 
I preordered (PS3 versions) 1 in store and 1 on Gamestop.com so we'll see what happens. And no it wasn't to hoard, it was just to make sure I got one because something that limited I can't trust my local Gamestop, even if they are the best one in St. Louis.
 
I just put down a PO for the 360 version and I'm thinking about buying one of the sticks. I know the TE one will be hard to get at launch, but could I still try to pre-order it @ GS, or should I fall for the cheaper stick or game pad? I have a Hori stick for my PS3 and I hate it.
 
I'm very excited about this game (taking off a day off from work the week this comes out to dedicate to this game) and can't wait to pick up my CE version of the game with the TE stick from my local Gamestop, but everytime I see one of the videos for this game, it makes me think of EX. Not that EX was bad, but even though IV is 2-D, I still imagine seeing an 'EX' between 'Fighter' and 'IV'. Part of me longs for hand drawn art in the spirit of SFIII, but I understand their reasons for straying.

I have no doubt this game will kick ass, though. I'm hoping for penalities against dropouts on ranked, online matches and I can't wait to see how Cammy plays in this iteration!

That match was fucking awesome. I'm getting more excited for SF4 as it comes closer to release date. I'm still praying I get my TE stick. I have a preorder, but I have a feeling it might be one of those things where they say they didn't have enough to fill it because of how late I got it in.
 
I told myself, there is no way I am gonna pay that much for a madcatz stick. So I was looking into building my own. I have plenty of wood working experience but no soldering experience at all. When I was living in Jersey I had people who could have done the soldering for me but I don't even know anyone with an iron up here in Vermont. So unless I can find a more comprehensive guide on soldering the stick to a 360 controller, I think I may be Le Screwed.

I don't know that I will even pick this game up until I have a stick, I made the mistake of getting turbo HD remix and I find it completely unplayable with the regular d pad.

Buy one of the 40 dollar fight pads.

Or stop being a brand hater ;)

Yeah I just didn't know any better. All I knew about Mad Catz was that growing up, family members would always save 5-10 bucks by buying me mad catz controllers that would break a week later. I did a little looking around and found that the Catz had changed their whole image.

And Phrost, I have tried trust me it's just not for me. I'll just have to wait until the next time I go back to Jersey to get my friend to do the soldering for me. Or convince him to do it and mail to to me.

Gotcha, gotcha. Don't blame ya, I've had some of their junk in the past.

I'd say go for a pad though.
 
Speaking of controllers.....in the early pics of the gamepad, they showed the last two buttons being RT and RB. But in the pic showing a stash of Chun Li and Ryu gamepads that Markman posted, the controllers last two buttons are clearly LB on top, RB on bottom.
 
Dude i preordered SFIV CE and Chun Li gamepad from amazon.com and it said:

SF IV CE estimated ship date Feb 23.
SF IV Chun Li Gamepad estimated ship date Feb 25th

So i canceled my orders. I dont want to wait 6 days for my order to be sent, then another 5-9 days to recieve it. As for the gamepad, gamestop says they are to be released Feb 10th. I dont want to get the game and not have the controller yet. But Gamestop.com says the controller will be picked at random. You cant even choose which character you want on your controller if you pre order it from GS.com. So i dunno what to do. maybe ill pre order it at a local game crazy, and hope i have a ride on feb 17th. My only question is, what stores are getting the gamepads? I guess it doesnt really matter who is on it, i just want to make sure i get one.
 
I didn't even look at the pads I assumed they were just controllers with graphics on them. Now that I have seen that its actually a D-pad I may have to pick one of these up. Has anyone seen a good review on it?
 
[quote name='Strell']Why noes wireless 360 pad? :[

/awaits generic LAAAAAAAAAG comments[/quote]

Actually Microsoft does not allow 3rd-party wireless controllers to be made for the 360, with music instrument controllers being the lone exception.

See two posts about yours.
 
I was wondering about the d-pad on those new pads. I had one of those street fighter pads for the regular xbox, and I thought the d-pad wasn't that great. Is it similar to that or better?

IGN said
The FightStick foregoes the two-thumbstick configuration of current-gen controllers and goes back to the lone D-pad design of yesteryear. But Mad Catz didn't just strip the thumbsticks and leave a generic D-pad in their stead; they went out of their way to create a multipurpose D-pad solution. The FightPad's D-pad is much like the floating D-pad of the first-party Xbox 360 controller; however, it is vastly superior to it in a number of ways. For one, the FightPad D-pad is much larger than the Xbox 360's, which, after long, strenuous gaming sessions, is crucial for keeping pain and discomfort to a minimum. The other major improvement the FightPad makes to the floating D-pad design is in its fluidity.

While the Xbox 360's floating 8-way D-pad is notably rigid, the FightPad's directional movement is very smooth and loose. Right about now you must be thinking: "If the D-pad is loose, it must be terribly unresponsive during gameplay." Fortunately, there is nothing farther from the truth. The D-pad translates exceptional to in-game commands and performs much like a full-sized fight stick.

I hope its good. but the IGN article made me worry now about the loose buttons.
 
Looks like we're going to have to pay extra for ANY alt, costumes for SFIV.:roll::roll::roll:

Make it cheap, Capcom and I'll consider it.

Also, a rumor going around is that the C.E. will have credits to download your choice of any five alt. costumes.

I see.

Well that kind of sucks, but I imagine there's a rationale there I'm not immediately seeing. Besides I want to get one of those sticks at some point, so I can live with it.

Thanks for the info!

Hmmm.... i wonder if it would be cheaper to buy the regular edition with a 1600 points card then, instead of buying the CE and only getting 5 costumes. I wonder how many costumes 1600 points would get me.

People who are buying the CE are more interested in the figurine and movie aren't they? D:

I pretty much only care about the extra costumes... looks like it's not even gonna be worth it if I can just download them.
 
[quote name='bs000']People who are buying the CE are more interested in the figurine and movie aren't they? D:[/quote]

The main reason why i was going to get it, was for the DLC costumes. I thought maybe they were CE exclusive. But if its just 5 credits to download a free costume, i mise well get the regular version of the game and a 1600 points card. I cant believe 5 costumes would cost 1600 points. There are 24 fighters. Each costume should be about 60 points for them to come close to 1600 points for them all.

EDIT. I hope they are sold one by one. I dont want to pay 500 points for chun li and a bunch of stupid ones like rufus, blanka, and other costumes i wouldnt want to pay for.

EDIT EDIT
Buy
Chun Li
Zangief
Balrog
Able
C.Viper

Maybe
Akuma
Vega
M.Bison
Guile
Ryu
Ken

Not buy
Blanka
Sagat
El Fuerte
Rufus

Havent seen
E.Honda
Dalsim
Cammy
Dan
Rose
Gouken
Fei Long
Sakura

EDIT EDIT EDIT
There's a slight debate going on over at capcom-unity over the alt costumes. Seth dropped in the thread and said they'd explain the alt costumes on Feb 7th.

Guess i will wait for then to see if i am going to buy the CE or regular + 1600 point card.
