Street Fighter IV thread.

Well, I loved Street Fighter when I was a kid. We played Championship Edition til our fingers bled. And I played the hell out of Darkstalkers, as well.

But I haven't picked up SF since I was a kid.

I played three and Alpha a few times, but for the most part I was the same.

And I definitely think four is worth picking up.

Well, like I said, everybody uses the same three characters. And you'll probably get curb stomped by a bunch of 12 year olds, but I enjoyed it.

Yeah.... I think I'm gonna pick this up tomorrow.

And then I'll kick your ***.

All of you.

Granted in player matches they will occasionally use other characters. It's in ranked matches where they use Ryu and Ken.
 
I played it today. It was too short on choices and consequences. Do I want to kick, punch, throw a fireball or juggle an opponent are not valid moral choices.
 
I knew nobody would get the joke. Bar me from saying RPG jokes. And no, I will not explain it.

With all due seriousness, I enjoyed SF4...when I wasn't getting my butt handed back to me. I shall not mention how many times that occurred.
 
Man, I dig it. I love the nostalgia. Seeing the characters in 3D with a terrible J-pop version of the SF theme song and terrible taunts ("I owe you my gratitude. Your fists wake up something inside of me!") are just great. I kicked my buddy's *** with Ryu, but now that I'm rocking the single player, I'm getting my ever-loving body rocked.

It's fun, but it will probably take me a minute to get used to the ultra attacks and everything. I'm also not quite sure the ****ty Xbox stick is conducive to the game.

Apparently I am.

I can't figure out how to work the combos where you have to charge the stick one way or another.

hold for two seconds even while punching just to hold you off and then hit forward + punch/kick at the same time. works good when you're in the air so by the time you hit the ground you just hit forward + hit and you spring right into action leaving little time for your opponent to attack.

I must just be retarded, because I still can't make it work. Vega's special, for instance, it says you have to hold it back, then push forward and punch, but I can't make it happen. I've tried doing it outside and in the middle of combos, and I just can't swing it.

Bah. ****ing Street Fighter.
 
Soul Calibur rocks my socks

though I never really carved out a character to main in that series, despite playing the **** out of 2,3,and 4

so I'm pretty good with all the male characters

yes I'm game-sexist

well, are you just trying to do a basic special or a super arts.

cuz if it's a super arts then you hold back for two seconds then forward backforward + punch/kick. if it's just a basic special then yeah, you is retarded.
 
Just as I expected, I suck at this game

I can't find a character to stick with, I seem to jump back and forth from Ryu and Vega the most, though I didn't play as any of the unlockable characters (I had it for a week, but only got around to playing it the day after it was due, so I didn't get much time with it)

I only mustered one victory online. Everyone only spams special moves, and I like to string together normal hits. Also I can't get used to not having a block button.

But this was an incredibley well put together game, very well polished, the soundtrack sucked though.
