http://www.joystiq.com/2010/05/21/super-street-fighter-iv-getting-balance-fixes-along-with-dlc-nex/#continued

According to Andriasang's translation (http://www.andriasang.com/e/blog/2010/05/21/super_sfiv_patch_in_june/) of a post on Capcom's Japanese blog, the developer is planning to roll out a patch for Super Street Fighter IV (http://www.joystiq.com/tag/super-street-fighter-iv) on June 15 -- the same day as the release of the game's Tournament Mode DLC -- which will remove a few exploits and address some balancing issues players have discovered since the title's launch. For the full list of (highly technical) changes included in the update, just click past the jump.

The patch remedies a few sizable issues, such as the unblockable Ultra exploit -- however, it doesn't return E. Honda's "Thousand-Hand Bitch Slap" maneuver to its original, unbeatable glory. Hopefully that particular fix will come in a later update.

[Via 1UP (http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3179426)]


Fei Long's infinite combo loop against Juri will be removed.
Unblockable Ultras will be fixed. This is where you throw a fireball and the Ultra flash made it so your opponent could not block.
Guy will no longer be able to be thrown while he's crouching and in hit stun animation. A bug made it possible to combo throw moves while he was in this state.
Ibuki's invincibility window on wake up -- under certain circumstances -- was too long, this will be fixed.
The 2nd hit of Ibuki's Spinning Kicks missing Chun-Li will be fixed.
Counter hit damage on M. Bison's (Dictator) Ultra 2 was too low.
Sagat's Angry Charge was not working properly in some instances (EX-Tiger Uppercut doesn't get damage upgrade in some cases).

[alvarado52]

personally, im happy they're fixing Sagat's charge. I never used it because it was inconsistent with its damage +, and did notice in practice sessions that it never effected the damage of EX Uppercut.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Ibuki's invincibility window on wake up -- under certain circumstances -- was too long, this will be fixed.

No it wasn't :shifty:

The 2nd hit of Ibuki's Spinning Kicks missing Chun-Li will be fixed.

Oh, that was a bug? I thought it was just a Chun-Li thing. Woo.

[G]

i'm getting rid of this in 6 days, so if i am in this tournament i need to record my loss soon.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

The tournament isn't until July, so I think it technically means you're not in it.

I assume, story wise, that C. Viper's new attire is the complete set of her combat weapons. Why didn't Chun-Li get her alpha attire?

[Kalyx triaD]

With the Mad Catz sponsorship, I don't allow compromise and practice even harder. My mindset has changed with the Mad Catz deal. I'm more determined than ever to be the best to live up to the 'pro' status.

Also, More Characters?

Ryan "Gootecks" Gutierrez posted on his Twitter account that he heard from a "strong source" that downloadable content (DLC) characters will be added to Super Street Fighter 4.

This backs up earlier statements made by the title's producer, Yoshinori Ono, where he mentioned it was possible the game could see downloadable characters added in the future.

Ono specifically mentioned that Hugo would be considered, although he personally pushed for R. Mika and Rolento to be included in Super Street Fighter 4's original line up.

The SSF4 arcade development team is considering adding new fighters into the line up when they release that version further on down the road, but nothing is concrete yet. It's a logical assumption that if any fighters are added to the arcade release, it's likely those same fighters will be added to the console versions as DLC.

This game's gonna have a wild roster. Oh God please let there be Karin.

[Blitz]

Would really like Rolento, think he'd translate well to the SF4 style. Also more SF3 love. Alex and Yun/Yang preferably.

Would be sweet if they went back to the first Street Fighter for some DLC characters. I'd play the shit out of Geki.

[Drakul]

R.Mika and/or Poison, please.

Yeah, it was said Poison would never be in because of confusing gender issues. It's not the 80's/90's anymore, we can hit women in videogames. They can "retcon" her back to female, now. Problem solved.

Also, Rolento and Sodom would be cool. I'd be interested in finally trying Birdie out "properly" now, to.

[Fignuts]

God, still no chun li alpha attire.

Lame.

[Kalyx triaD]

Nice quick ranked battles this morning. Got Sakura to a C rating after a few wins. Noticed Hasney has a C+. It'll be nice if he joined up in some Endless Battles. I'll be playing with a few purposes over the coming weekend so just know any matches with me aren't 'money', I'm testing out theories and working on 'out of character' approaches. I wanna polish myself before I take a break to catch up on Battlefield and enjoy RDR.

I'm at a point where my previous uncertainty about the tourny's outcome is lifting, and I'm feeling far more confident than a few weeks ago. Sakura is seriously vying for Cammy's main position. BTW I'm starting to punish recovery with combos more often so WATCH YOURSELF.

Also my new controller set up: Face buttons are still SNK style, but R-Trig is now KKK while L-Trig is PPP. After much thought, I concluded that the advantages of an assessable Focus Attack is overshadowed by the blunders caused by manual KKK. I've lost matches over the failed EX or Ultras due to trying to get KKK pressed. While FA saved my ass a few times, I'd say my new approaches that are contingent on KKK EX/Ultras more than supplement the diminished role of my FA set-ups. I already used this set up in matches and while I did catch myself pulling L-Trig for cancels and charges, I was adjusting well enough.

As I told Khuntry, the thumb stick is my permanent device for movement and motions. Fuck the dpad.

I didn't know you could see that about your friends, I'll have to have a look.

It's more addiction than skill though, got about a 50% win ratio (60% with Ibuki specifically I think). If you guys are playing Sat/Sun late-ish my time, I might jump on drunkenly (3-day weekend woo).

Defo, before I got my stick, the thumb stick was better than the 360 joypad for sure.

NO IT DOESN'T

it's 8 seconds

You can probably turn it off anyways. My TV can do a little jingle everytime you turn it on or off, but I got rid of that. It will just be replacing the warm-up time so if it was off, it would probably be a black screen for 8 seconds.

[Kalyx triaD]

Bro transferred his DLC licenses to the current 'Box, Shoto Sakura's back woo. Cammy's Bison gear has terrible colors. Not one black or purple scheme. Disappointing. One of Chun-Li's schemes on her new attire is pretty cool, does away with the puffy shoulders.

Fear Cammy's cr.fp - cr.mk xx f.cannon drill. It's so useful I feel bad using it.

All of my irl friends suck hard at this. I'm double perfecting guys while being so drunk I can barely see. No wonder none of them want to buy it. :(

[Kalyx triaD]

You should sandbag ever so slightly to keep them interested. Raise your level as they get better. Sometimes that sort of thing is needed.

[Funky Fly]

Only 1 guy is legit into it, but he is the very definition of "rage quitter" so I basicvally have to let him win all the time.

[Kalyx triaD]

Oh... one of those. Type of guy who thinks he shouldn't ever lose and when he does it's Hell for everybody around him. You can't even talk trash because he'll take it personally, and it's fairly certain he's not competitive at all - he approaches competitive gaming as he would single-player, where the inevitable, required outcome is to win. But in fighting games and such it's literally you or him, and if you don't tighten up it'll be him... over and over.

I'm not making an argument for the elitist 'Playing to Win' concept but I know guys who aren't mentally capable of taking a loss.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

I got double-perfected for the first time ever last night and instead of feeling rage, I actually put the stick down and just went "wow".

It was actually quite epic to watch.

[Kalyx triaD]

When I get 'punk bitch'd' (that's what we call it) I wonder what the fuck I was doing the whole match. You should at least hit somebody by mistake. Pisses me off enough to cause me the second match. lol

[Funky Fly]

Yeah, I'm no Daigo, but you have to be pretty good to double perfect me. Not even chip damage? Fuck.

I'm guessing there is more. I wouldn't mind seeing them, if I could find them.

[Kalyx triaD]

Yeah I saw those, happy with Juri's final design. There seems to be some black guy they wanted to add (Ken's first alt attire was based on this new character).

[Blitz]

I want a Capoeira fighter :(

[Kalyx triaD]

Elena's in 3rd Strike. May never see her in another game.

She certainly brings depth and variety to the franchise.

[Drakul]

I've read he was called King Cobra. I actually like hearing about concept characters. I remember Seth Killian saying on Gametrailers that they had a concept for a karate clown character.

We might get Elena eventually what with them considering adding more characters through DLC. We already have her stage. I've never played as her before, though so she's as good as a brand new character to me.

[Kalyx triaD]

Like other characters in 3rd Strike she had a pretty unique movelist.

[Drakul]

So there is more on the rumour about DLC. The source is originally eventhubs but I got it from GameFAQs. I heard eventhubs is crawling with viruses etc so I'm not going there.

I'm going to be lazy and copy/paste the post from GameFAQs.

Here's the link to the rumor:
http://www.eventhubs.com/news/2010/may/25/rumor-dlc-characters-coming-super-street-fighter-4/

And here's who will make it if true.

Ono said Rolento, R. Mika and Hugo were to be in the game if there was time to include them / like to see in the game.

Yun and Yang have cameoed in both games so far and I think it's time they pull an Adon.

Karin and Elena have sizable fan followings that can help get them included.

Birdie and Sodom are the only living characters from the first Alpha game not in this one. Sodom in particular will be a riot in this game.

So in Summary
- Roloento - Lock
- R. Mika - Lock
- Hugo - Very Likely
- Karin - Likely
- Elena - Likely (the Africa stages give her a pretty good edge)
- Yun and Yang - Possible
- Birdie - Possible
- Sodom - Possible
- Everyone else - Remote

Rolento, R.Mika & Sodom would be great. Hugo & Birdie would be cool. I'm not too bothered about anyone else, really.

I wouldn't mind one or two brand new characters appearing through DLC. Just, please, no more Gi wearing, projectile throwing types.

In other news, I'm now used to Zangiefs Siberian Blizzard and can connect with it most of the time. I'm still getting fed up with constantly fighting Ken/Ryu online but using the SB makes it a little more tolerable.

Question: Why don't EX moves absorb hits? I'm sure in SFIV most EX moves absorbed most other moves but in SSFIV, every move can break through almost all of my EX moves.

[Kalyx triaD]

EV moves have fairly generous intangible start-up frames, you're gonna have to rock with that. 'Gief's walking grab has armor, though.

If half of those characters in that list make the cut Capcom will have not only delivered the ultimate Street Fighter game, but a game I don't even think we deserve. It's too good to be true.

[Drakul]

With DLC, how much will they/could they charge? If outfits are 320, wont characters be about 1200?

With DLC characters, I hope they get a "story" in arcade mode. Maybe have alt outfits unlock for the DLC character by completing arcade with them. It gives us something to do and a reason to play arcade with them.

I think Zangiefs walk is the only thing that has armour but it's only effective against a punch, kick or hadouken. Something like a shoryuken, spiral arrow or Abels wheel kick rips right through it.

I have an idea to stop projectile spamming. Give projectile users an additional meter. It could refill when not in use and the amount taken from it depends on if it's a weak, meadium or strong projectile. It'll never happen but if I could have my way...

[Kalyx triaD]

With DLC, how much will they/could they charge? If outfits are 320, wont characters be about 1200?

I'd totally agree to a five character pack (with an update to rebalance the game) for 1200. That's "Super Street Fighter 4 Turbo" right there. Super 4 was already a steal.

Nah, fireball spammers are their own worst enemy. It really is easy to get around them and force them to fight. Hell, I love seeing somebody trying to pull that shit with me.

Dhalsim players should burn in a fire though. Pussies.

[Fignuts]

Abels ex heel kick thing goes through just about everything.

[Funky Fly]

Abels ex heel kick thing goes through just about everything.

Used to. Now that I am halfway decent with him, I seem to get knocked out of it on a regular basis.

[Drakul]

I fought a Guy player yesterday. He won the 1st round and I won the 2nd round. In the final round he didn't move so, in the name of fairplay, I didn't attack incase his batteries had died or he had to stop for some reason.
The timer reaches zero and we both have full health and the fight is declared a draw. So, why did he gain 18 points and why did I lose 18 points?

Last time a ranked match ended as a draw, no one gained or lost any points.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

I take it you were higher rank than him? If so, he gained points for holding his own with you while you lost them for drawing with a lower rank.

When that happens though, kick the shit out of them. It's not usually batteries, but the game can lose sync so he's still fighting on his console, but you're standing still. When it happens, it's usually free points for both of you.

[Kalyx triaD]

No mercy in ranked. None. Ever.

[Kalyx triaD]

My problem with Plinking (and elitist contradictions):

First read this EventHubs.com explanation of Plinking:

Understanding Plinking

Plinking is basically entering two button presses at almost the exact same time — with just a 1 frame difference. So if you pressed Medium Punch and 1 frame later pressed Light Punch the Input Display would look like this.

(LP)(MP)
(MP)

Again, for this to work right the button presses must be done in VERY quick succession. A 1 frame difference is 1/60th of a second, so to the casual observer, it would look like you're hitting both buttons at the same time, but there's a slight difference.

Plinking gives you one more chance at hitting the correct timing window for combos, because instead of the game reading your input as Medium Punch and then Light Punch, it reads it as Medium Punch and 1 frame later — Medium Punch again.

This works because heavier button strengths have priority over others. If you press Light Punch and Medium Punch at the same time — Medium Punch will come out.

Why is this a big deal? Some of the combos in Super Street Fighter 4 require a 1/60th of a second timing window. If you're slightly off, your combo won't land. So instead of having just one chance at landing a difficult combo, Plinking gives you one additional shot to land it, essentially making the window 2/60ths of a second.

Timing is still EXTREMELY important, but this technique helps when trying to land difficult combos, and it's used by many of the top players around the globe.

Decent advice, but why go through the trouble of this when Capcom could simply open the link window by a frame (or two)? Also, this supports an old observation of mine that high level conventions seem to be things that make the game easier to play (Plinking, using arcade sticks, option selects).

All that is well and good, but if Capcom were to actually open the link window by a frame, elitist would cry foul - even though they strive to do just that. People would tell me my preference for playing with a 'pad' (thumbstick now) is scrubbish, even though they admit plainly that they use sticks because pads are too hard for them. Option selects are tech-throws with weak attacks to cover their ass in the event they guessed wrong.

So it's all well and good to discover techniques to lessen effort in combat, yet when a company officiates certain techniques, or lessens the executions needed for these techniques in the exact same spirit of lowering frustration, elitist bitch about the companies catering to noobs.

Just thought I'd share my thoughts.

[Funky Fly]

Sad news, btw. Apparently everyone in my new neighbourhood is tech savvy and there are no open networks upon which I can serve you Painburgers. :'(

[Kalyx triaD]

Probably would've been laggy anyway.

[Drakul]

Had my first "rage quitter" on Thursday. They were using Ken and we had won a round each and, just at the end of the final round, he/she quit. I was just about to get the win with a lariet. The animation just started and he disconnected. Felt good, actually.

People still insist on running away and throwing projectiles or, in Akuma/Ibukis case, jumping backwards while throwing stuff down at me. Takes the fun out of it.
The best matches for me tend to be mirror matches. The playing field is even. What he can do, I can do and it's just down to who is the better player. All my favourite fights online have been mirrors. Genuine fun. Anyone else the same?

Some Ultra 2's seem a little tempramental. I read some guy did a specific combo into Guile's Sonic Hurricane when he fought Dhalsim. When he does that specific combo, the Sonic Hurricane inflicts no damage to Dhalsim at all, he can just walk through it and it wont detect him.
The Siberian Blizzard has a detection issue to. Some guy had me in the corner and I managed to jump out. He does the Ex Shoryuken but goes under me and misses. He's now right at my back and level with me in the air. I start the SB and it doesn't connect. I was kinda pissed at that but put it down to some kind of invincability the EX Shoryuken might have. In the next round, he does the Ex Shoryuken again and I'm able to connect with the SB this time. It's not the only time SB has randomly not connected for no good reason.

[RoXer]

What did you do?

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Godammit Capcom with your shitty theme.

God-fucking-dammit.

[Drakul]

It's not as stupid as the food based one. The theme with the bad drawings of the characters holding food with the food being photos rater than drawings.

[Kalyx triaD]

I hate mirror matches, boring to me. There is that element of 'who's better' but I rather fight a different character.

Been taking Sakura through the ringer because she's been under performing lately. She beat some pompous 3000+pps but has trouble against more creative players. I am finding that she has great corner trap potential.

Had a guy spaz out because I was a "blocking-ass nigga".

I don't take advantage of my weak hits enough. I'd go old school and triple lp or lk when people are close and then gi from there, when I could lp twice and link the mp, hurricane (or EX hurricane). I'd get more pay off that way so I should condition myself to do it. Maximizing opportunity is something that made my Cammy way more dangerous, so Sakura should go for punishing rather than obvious combo set-ups. Also need to reintegrate FAs in my game. Not as easy without my 'FA trigger' but I'll try.

Getting on, bitches. Gonna have an Endless Battle room up with intent to practice combos, singular strike priorities, and FA game. Emphasis on everyone's favorite schoolgirl, Sakura. Also experimenting with Juri some more.

Whatever I'm working on I'll help you on (and you'll help me).

[Kalyx triaD]

Alva's FA dash follow up +1

I messed with Abel in training. Abel's Elbow-cut juggles after the second hit. You can roll (weak) forward for another elbow-cut (and roll after that first hit). But to keep it basic, nail that roll after the second elbow hit. The roll crosses up on the ground so you could pull some tricks after a jumping attack (jump-in mk, fierce roll, cr.mk*, shoot combo...). Adding that kick more often in that shoot combo should break RoXer's guard.

*cr = crouch

[alvarado52]

im getting back online...lets play something.

[Kalyx triaD]

Yes. Skim over my observations above, boy.

Gonna be on tomorrow, provided I have no problems transporting my PC or setting up my internet.

Does anyone have a rough idea when the costume pack with everything in it will be out and how much it'll cost? I read it was the middle of this month but I'm not sure.

Played a ranked match against someone with the gamertag "ny IllWill ny" and thought it might have been the guy behind Neurotically Yours (Foamy the Squirrel) since he's from NYC and his site is called illwillpress. No idea if it actually was, though. He played as Ryu and was shoryukening the whole fight, even when I was firmly on the ground. I still won.

He did a comic about paying for DLC already on the disc:

*jump*

C'mon... I totally had a back-up plan anyway.

[RoXer]

You had no health. Was gunna ultra you. End of story.

[Kalyx triaD]

Woulda coulda shoulda

[RoXer]

END OF STORY

[Drakul]

In the first round I started it a sec or 2 too soon but in that 2nd round against RoXers Vega, you all saw I pulled of the Siberian Blizzard right next to him and it didn't connect. Like I said before:

Some Ultra 2's seem a little tempramental. I read some guy did a specific combo into Guile's Sonic Hurricane when he fought Dhalsim. When he does that specific combo, the Sonic Hurricane inflicts no damage to Dhalsim at all, he can just walk through it and it wont detect him.
The Siberian Blizzard has a detection issue to. Some guy had me in the corner and I managed to jump out. He does the Ex Shoryuken but goes under me and misses. He's now right at my back and level with me in the air. I start the SB and it doesn't connect. I was kinda pissed at that but put it down to some kind of invincability the EX Shoryuken might have. In the next round, he does the Ex Shoryuken again and I'm able to connect with the SB this time. It's not the only time SB has randomly not connected for no good reason.

Had a mirror match against some guy who spammed the jumping headbutt. He "rage quit" when I was going to get my win with SB. That's 2 RQs since release day. A big improvement on before.

Does anyone know why I can't see the end of spectator matches against you guys? It always freezes and says spectator mode has been abandoned or something. Sucks not getting to see a fights conclusion, especially if it's close.

[RoXer]

Because you live far away and the lag goes to the spectators. By the time we're in the lobby, you're getting the last 5 seconds which they'll kick you from to get you to the lobby.

[RoXer]

Don't worry, I'll upload that nonsense that the video game decided to screw me with

[alvarado52]

i literally lol'd when Roxer jumped into that. It was SO freakin delayed...you shot the damn thing, and it travels so damn so...so i kid you not it seemed like a solid second it traveled, then all of a sudden Roxer jumps into it.

[Kalyx triaD]

KOcide

[RoXer]

Let's play the shit out of this this weekend

[Kalyx triaD]

Um...

[Drakul]

I'm the 30th best Zangief in Europe and I'm in the top 10 best Zangiefs in the UK. I think I can do better.

I'm curious where you guys are on the leader boards for your "main" character.

[Kalyx triaD]

I don't put as much time into Ranking with Cammy as I probably should.

[Funky Fly]

Fuck ranking. I'm trying to win a god damn tournament. And yes, this means I finally have internet here. Turns out that the guy who lived here last was a fucking prick and actually cut the physical line. Took the Internet guy an hour to run new line to me.

[Kalyx triaD]

http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CallingYourAttacks

[RoXer]

Akuma is such fucking trash in this game

[RoXer]

His air fireballs have to be stronger. His ultra needs to be fixed. His focus attack is screwy. He sucks donkey dick

[RoXer]

Oh yeah and 4 feirce attacks and he's dead

[alvarado52]

ive seen you land his ultra once out of about 20 times.

[RoXer]

I don't get it. If you are in the air you absolutley should not be able to jump over the second you land. I've caught so many people that way with a fireball trap and they just hold up and jump over it.

I don't mind getting attacked from the air. (Well, I do but I won't bitch about it. Abel can absorb 1 hit, why can't Akuma?) What pisses me off is I enter it at the highest point of the arc and they're stilll able to hold up to get past it.

Or I push them all the way across the screen to leave me vulnerable for a few frames. That's always fun.

[Kalyx triaD]

It would be interesting to give it armor status while he's floating to you, perhaps for the Ultra version, at least. Maybe add a vacuum within a certain range like that fatass' spinning bullshit. During my tenure with Akuma through the years I caught more than a few people regularly but I can't comment on this game as I've retired his ass when SF4 came out (for unrelated reasons).

All in all, you should probably accept a Sakura beating as 'just another day', and not get frustrated over your character's moves.

GOT IT, BUB?

[Kalyx triaD]

My custom soundtrack during Sakura play:

Avril's "Girlfriend"
Ashley's WWE theme "Light a Fire"
Stan Bush's "She's Got the Power" (Sailor Moon soundtrack)
Inu Yasha ED "My Will"
Paramore's "Misery Business"

And other gay shit that in a playlist I call "Sakura's iPod". This is what I beat you people with. Think about it.

[RoXer]

I think you're a nerd

[Kalyx triaD]

At least I don't commit KOcide.

Nothing in particular.

[Kalyx triaD]

[alvarado52]

WHATS GOING ON HERE!?

[Funky Fly]

Kokujin = black man.

I was trying to talk to him in some nerdy ass moonspeak.

[Kalyx triaD]

All this news and I nearly forgot; Tournament DLC out tomorrow, now for PS3 users.

[Blitz]

Since my cell phone distracted victory over Roxer, I've been using Guy almost exclusively. Think I've found a new main.

[Kalyx triaD]

Guy's gay.

[alvarado52]

super gay

[Funky Fly]

My brother just spams shit with him. T. Hawk and Abel = anti-Guy

[Kalyx triaD]

Didn't think I'd be doing meaty attacks in this game.

[Funky Fly]

Care to elaborate?

[Kalyx triaD]

Meaty attacks are done when an opponent's getting up. You start an attack early, often a low kick, so when they get up they have to block the attack or eat it - which you would then combo into. In SSF4 the reversal window is really large, though, as in performing a special withing a few frames of getting on your feet gives you invincible start-up frames (English: Ken's wake-up shoryuken that goes through your attacks). In SSF4 it's a large window, so meaty attacks are risky.

Since people bait reversals now, some started to get up slow and hold back, which makes meaty attacks viable again. My last few matches tonight had a lot of meaty attacks, particularly against Drakul when he used Hakan. I did some on Alva's last match as well.

[Funky Fly]

I see. My youngest brother does this a lot. He'd be great if he weren't so predictable in other areas.

[Juan]

So I got this game like 3 weeks ago. Been alternating between this and RDR. Thought I was pretty good, so I finally decided to play someone online. I think I lost like 15 straight fights.

[RoXer]

Wanna be in the tournament?

[RoXer]

Kalyx, remind me I have replays to show you

[Kalyx triaD]

Damn I wish replays could be uploaded on a streaming site.

[RoXer]

I got my ass handed to me by a comboing B+ Ibuki after everyone left

[Kalyx triaD]

Abel and Gief look badass.

Someone over at GameFAQs said Zangiefs new alt makes machine noises when he moves and adds a robotic sounding filter over his voice. Kinda hoping that's true.

Is Abels outfit supposed to be Alex from SFIII?

[Kalyx triaD]

I haven't noticed but I think you're right. The straps are up this time.

[RoXer]

Are we playing tonight? I'm thinking about going to bed early tonight

[Funky Fly]

What's "early"?

I'm down for some games, but I have a couple of errands to run. Sadly, I have to cross the Whitemud to do this, so it's going to take forever, what with the endless construction.

[Kalyx triaD]

I may try out the Tourny mode but I otherwise gotta get ready for Miami and Supercon.

[Funky Fly]

Fuck, it'll be nice to play against real people again (other than my brothers).

[Kalyx triaD]

Forgot you just a bit of a hiatus. Better catch us tonight.

[Funky Fly]

The asshole who lived in my apartment before me cut the phone line. Like the actual wire. Had no internet for 2 weeks.

Shoulda gone with cable.

[Drakul]

Not only is Super Street Fighter IV 3D Edition a total mouthful, it's also pretty damn good looking on a physical level. And, y'know, I bet it's got a decent personality too.

If this version of everyone's favorite fighter is as feature complete as the tentative name implies -- which is, to say, on par with its console brethren -- then color me impressed. Can our boys at Capcom cram all of those newish fighters into a 3DS cartridge? We'll have to wait and see.

Until then, look in awe at this game -- a game that, in all likelihood, will be one of the early 3DS titles. If that ends up being the case, I can only imagine how much prettier things are going to get a couple of years down the line.

Source (http://www.destructoid.com/e3-10-super-street-fighter-iv-3d-edition-is-a-mouthful-176608.phtml).

Very good looking considering it's not finished yet. I would like to see all 35 characters make it in but I'm having a hard time believing it'll happen.

[Kalyx triaD]

When Street Fighter Alpha 3, with it's impressive roster, got ported to a handheld... it got four more fighters on top. We're talking a PSP then. 3DS could handle the whole roster.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

That was going to a 1.5gb storage medium though. We still don't know the 3DS cart spec, other than it's wider than the DS's.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

The carts are 2 gig.

Only thing probably cut out then will be the arcade mode vids. Huge loss, I know.

[Drakul]

Well, SSFIV is 5.9gb on the 360. If they can down grade and/or remove unimportant stuff like the arcade videos and compressed it all, could they fit a 5.9gb game into a 2gb space?

If they added an extra character or two, that would give us DLC for the console version. Given that they have talked about doing DLC maybe we will get new characters.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

It's easy, over half that space is HD textures. Downsize the 1080 resolution textures to 240 and job pretty much done.

[Funky Fly]

Had a nice little battle with Foxy Roxy today. Good way to break up my ranked domination. Won like 4 straight fights. Gonna try for the 5 peat brb.

[Kalyx triaD]

I had a 7-streak in Ranked before I lost. Then I learned I was 3 wins from an achievement.

i seriously wanna slug you guys in your fuckin' faces whenever you taunt me, like i play this shit half as much as you guys do. Super impressive.

[Funky Fly]

Sorry. BTW, this is the 2nd serious time I've played in weeks. Haven't been practicing like I should.

[RoXer]

lol

There was question on som,e board asking how people react when taunted. Alvarado is in the "gets pissed off section"

[RoXer]

Gen's ultra can get beat by Zangeifs spinning lariet. Good to know.

[RoXer]

Damn, close match w alva/drakul

[alvarado52]

lol

There was question on som,e board asking how people react when taunted. Alvarado is in the "gets pissed off section"

the only reason it pisses me off is because it would be like me taunting someone who barely played UFC last year...if there is a clear advantage of players, why the hell would i taunt the guy who's playing and learning the ropes?

Guess i just dont really believe in being a dick during competition.

[alvarado52]

that tiger knee can keep 'Gief at a distance for sure...might spam the hell outta it next time.

[RoXer]

I taunt if something funny/strange/awesome happens. That's all. Like if there's an incredible finish I will start the next round w a taunt to say good job or something to that effect

[RoXer]

Don't get discouraged when losing to Drakul;s Zangief. Its the 12th best in all of europe. Maybe higher.

What's it up to now, Drakul?

[alvarado52]

i dont really care...i still think 'Gief is a cheap tank character who deals mass and doesnt receive it, but if he wants to ride that character till the wheels fall off thats entirely up to him.

[RoXer]

Aren't you glad he can only use him twice?

[alvarado52]

i actually think his 'Gief is very beatable, once you find his tendencys and holes, its just the stupid ass lariat is annoying.

'Geif's best move is literally the push of a button.

[Funky Fly]

Zangief is full of holes. You have to be really good at timing to master him.

I also noticed that Drakul took it easy on you compared to me. I got raped so bad I was like " fuck it, here comes T Hawk :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:"

Don't get discouraged when losing to Drakul;s Zangief. Its the 12th best in all of europe. Maybe higher.

What's it up to now, Drakul?

It was 10 in the UK and 30 in Europe. I think I've actually dropped down, now.

The downside about focusing on Zangief so much is that I've neglected the other characters. I used to be decent with Hakan, Sagat etc but now I'm not so good. I couldn't even pull off a Tiger Shot at one point during our Endless Battle tonight. :(

Why not make the next Endless Battle "Random Only"? That could be interesting. Or it could completely suck, we don't know until we try.

Alvarado, you should definitly try to mix up that change of direction move by doing the low attacks. And don't do all 3 all the time. And cancel his ultra if you can't connect.

Definitely this. You got me good in that last match though. Fucking epic back and forth war.

Hell yes, it was beautiful...just hand to hand combat.
