Street Fighter 4: Dedicated Post-Release Impression Thread

Maybe it's this Xbox controller. I need a Saturn Pad or an Arcade Stick.

At least you have a way of playing SF4

*** grumbles in the corner ****

No 360 or PS3 yet, racket?

Yeah, I was surprised that Capcom boosted Zangief's priority. He was pretty dominant in the SF2 series so I thought he might've got nerfed like Vega (Claw). Claw doesn't deserve to be at the bottom of the character tier.

I haven't found him that annoying yet, as long as you poke him with attacks and stay out of range of his grapples and throws, you're good.

However, I do find Abel to be a problem. I wanna learn how to play as him.

No and SF4 is one of the few things I would want one for. I just can justify paying that much for just a few games that I'd like when I have so many classics yet to play.

[Note]

I felt the same way. After playing SF4 in the arcades, Treasure and Sega re releasing games on XBL, and my previous roomates always having a 360 around, I had to suck it up and dish out some cash. I guess it balances out with barely spending any money on gaming for 4 years prior to the purchase.

What characters have you guys been playing with? I've been using Sakura. I'm gonna try to pick up Cammy too, since she was my character in HD remix. Also interested in playing Rose and Abel.

i can't fucking stand seth!!! medium/hard is what ive been trying to get all the secret charactrers at and they bastard takes me at least 3 or 4 continues just to kill the mother fucker, its the teleport/grab combo that he gets me with all the time! and then when he and i are at low health the motherfucker sucks me in to his gross ass ying yang stomach and shoots me out BAM! !!!K.O. E. Honda on medium/hard bugs me too

ups dropped mine off wed. night this is MY FAVORITE STREET FIGHTER! except marvel vs. street fighter

Focus System: very cool, i like how it can be used offensively and defensively. getting opens with the focus move then leaving them open for a combo is great and a block focus will help you turn the tides when being attacked, kinda like that defense push in the VS. games

Super EX/Ultra combos: a little TOO easy almost everybody's is quarter circle x2 + PPP
but i like how to super bar is split up so u can use a segment to make a special move stronger.

graphics: not pushing PS3 by anymeans but i like em

my collectors edition came with a soundtrack/movie/ryu toy/and headband GREAT EXTRAS

the movie was kinda lame i was expecting it to me like the animated Street Fighter II movie from the 90s but it REALLY let me down!!! the animation quality was CHEAP AS FUCK, almost looked like flash or a shitty anime on cartoon network and it was just talking to whole time only like 3 fights the whole movie, i now its to set up the story before you play the game but it was BORING.

i think ill just wear my head band all day and keep playing

first impressions: Awesome Game, fucking god awful title song. I really hate that piece of music already and I've only owned the game for a hour and a half...

[RadarScope1]

Will probably pick it up down the road. I still haven't put that much time into the HD remix since it came out because other games came along. I'll dig back into that at some point then upgrade.

Sounds awesome though. Glad y'all are digging it. I for one am happy they went more in the direction of 2 rather than 3. I just want to have fun, not study guides and count frames.

I can't believe how good this game is! Anyone else blown away by it?
