Street Ultra Fighter IV Announced - Super Aggrivated Emo

[alvarado52]

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.

i dont even know how to cancel his ultra.

[Funky Fly]

While holding KKK down so you don't go flying, press a punch button and you'll stand up. I did it once last night, dunno if you saw that.

[Funky Fly]

some of those should have happened.

[.44 Magdalene]

Some of those Chun Li outfits are way better than the alt they actually ended up settling on.

[Fignuts]

Chun Li's alpha costume is way better than the one she got or those concepts. Don't know why they've been holding off on it.

[Khuntry]

Would love to get my hands on that art book.

[Kalyx triaD]

Yeah, Chun Li's Alpha gear seemed like a no brainer. Killer Bee Cammy, too (though her sweater jacket is close).

Would love Sakura cosplaying Karin's attire, or at least getting her colors.

[Funky Fly]

With all this cash people are dropping on pretty useless DLC, you'd think they'd put out a thank you in the form of a free costume set with shit like that included.

Not my best by any means but I didn't know I was going to end up on YouTube. If I had known, I'd have had a little more "razzle dazzle".

[RoXer]

atta boy

[Drakul]

If anyone wonders why I only did the moves I did, the same guy spammed Hondas buttcrush move the fight before so I was trying to do similair to him.

Edit: They put the spamming into a montage.
<object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/WYGXStCcnEE&amp;hl=en_GB&amp;fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/WYGXStCcnEE&amp;hl=en_GB&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>

They guy also didn't seem to show me doing anything but the lariat. They also didn't show when I managed to do Siberian Blizzard to stop the buttcrushing from below him.

Edit: How about TPWW vs Dpad Dependancy? Kalyx suggested we take on other people. They obviously already have a roster togethor. I can throw the challenge out for us, if you like. I think we'd be able to take them down pretty swiftly. If they don't interest you, my bro-in-law visits a competitive forum. I could ask him if they have interest in taking us on.

[RoXer]

Sounds like some hot shit. Set it up for this weekend. Alvarado can't play but that only makes us stronger.

[Drakul]

I've sent the challenge. Hopefully, I'll get a reply later tonight.

That's hot shit, links ahoy. Maybe the best Sakura I ever seen so I gotta see what I can adopt from his game.

[Kalyx triaD]

Super SF4 on sale!! SuperSF4 is nothing compared to what's coming!!

Hmm... It's much too early to announce the next Darkstalkers... And he's not on the MvC3 team... Perhaps the extra characters for SSF4? Maybe a third iteration of SF4 altogether?

[Drakul]

If it's anything to do with SSFIV, it better be a DLC like a SSFIV Turbo DLC with R.Mika, Elena, Rolento, Hugo & Q.
He said Super was the final version of SFIV.

I remember a news story from about a week ago where Ono had said via Twitter that he just had a meeting and Capcom gave him the green light for a game or something.
A while ago, he also said he wanted to do Darkstalkers with the SFIV engine. All that with the above comment makes me think it will be Darkstalkers if it's not a Turbo DLC for SSFIV.

[Kalyx triaD]

The greenlit was definitely Darkstalkers, but to announce it so soon. Even a prerendered target trailer isn't that fast out the gate.

[Funky Fly]

Just had a good session with Kalyx. Filling in those holes in my game little by little.

[Kalyx triaD]

Yeah, had two big sessions with Khuntry and Funky separately.

Khuntry took most the wins in even bouts. I did have a 'breakthrough' of sorts with Sakura that should be useful. I picked Guile and that shit was gdlk.

Funky's on point and has a strong T. Hawk, I imagine he'll be useful to him going on. He completely stuffed my Sakura with Blanka of all people. It was very unsettling and shows how not used to Blanka I am.

Overall good night, now back to school.

Dude fucking murders the concept of links in SF4. Good read. (http://shoryuken.com/f315/should-capcom-eliminate-1-frame-links-ssf4-242256/index10.html#post9163710)

[Funky Fly]

links are gay. I can understand if the window of time you got to do them was a little bigger, but exclusionary gameplay is not fun if you're not the type to practice your combos for hours on end.

[Kalyx triaD]

I find it odd that links appear in SF4, a game that makes several strides toward lenient gameplay. It's like they needed some arbitrarily difficult mechanic to appease the tournyfags out of fear the game would get boring during high level play.

I read a lot of Sirlin's articles and while he can be crass, he makes some good points about the contradictory design of SF4. HUGE reversal window and absurd input leniency paired with 1frame links and a complicated roman cancel mechanic? Kinda odd, really.

Fighting game design as been dominating my brain and I actually choose to update ____________ rather than do homework this morning. In truth I'm starting to stress simply trying to score identity, when major game franchises have not!

But yeah, fuck links (and plinking).

Here is a teaser of some sort to do with the big announcement Ono said was bigger than SFIV. It'll be revealed at Comic-con.

http://media.eventhubs.com/images/2010/07/13_trailershot.jpg

GameFAQs posters seem to think its Alpha 4.

I have absolutely no fucking idea what you just said.

Anyway, I think I need to work on my skillz sometime soon, do you niggas play these endless battles all the time?

[Drakul]

Pretty regularly, I'd say.

[Fignuts]

Alpha 4 seems really unecessary.

[Y2Ant]

Sweet.

Well if anyone feels like taking me to school, it would be very much appreciated. :love:

[Drakul]

It adds up, though. The image and people have said they want DLC for SSFIV for R.Mika, Rolento, Birdie, Karin and Sodom so, to get more money out of that demand, they'll do Alpha 4.

Why charge $10-15 for highly demanded characters when you can put them in a whole other game and charge $60?

Probably going to be Alpha 4.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Alpha 4 seems really unecessary.

Storyline wise, yeah. Another game that takes place between 1 and 2? I wouldn't normally bring up the story, but Alpha 3 was very story driven and was the only SF I would say was awesome story-wise.

Now, as a game and mechanic wise, it's very necessary. If they can somehow combine the depth of different super-systems, air-blocking and all that gravy with the accessibility of SF4, I will be a happy man.

Although I'd prefer the SF3 mechanics.

[Kalyx triaD]

Super Street Fighter 4 Turbo

[Funky Fly]

Super Street Fighter 4 Turbo

I would rather have this over Alpha 4 or SF3: 4th Retribution or whatev. Just put more alpha/SF3/SF1 characters in plus 2 or 3 new fuckers. They can even have $45 more of my money.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

I want air-blocking, V-ISM's and parries, dammit :'(

[Kalyx triaD]

Get Alpha Anthology. Great collection.

[Fignuts]

Could be street fighter 5.

[Kalyx triaD]

Ugh, too quick for that - even if drops in '12.

[Funky Fly]

I'd rather not wait until 2016 for it, tho.

[alvarado52]

yknow, in todays industry, you could just update the game itself. I understand all the SF2 variants back in the day were all updates, but those could be done now without pressing new media.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

If it's going to be the same price (and trust me, Super would have been, just like that Dragon Age DLC) then I'd rather have a new disc.

[Funky Fly]

Yeah, save some hard drive space. There were massive changes to SF4, tho. 10 new guys means a lot of work. 35 new ultras and massively reworked (and more stable) online. No way that could have been an update.

[Drakul]

A little more info about what is not being announced:

When can we expect your new project to be announced?
Ono: [July] 24th, Saturday at San Diego Comic-Con.

Super Street Fighter 4 cross online play between the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, is it possible?
Ono: Wow! I think you are asking [for] too much.

Could there be another attempt at Capcom Fighting All-Stars?
Ono: Oh, it might be a good idea [for] redevelopment.

Could the new project be Capcom vs. Street Fighter? =P
Ono: Rubbish! :)


Is the project a new Capcom Fighting Jam?
Ono: Oh... Fighting JAM!! Umm, can't make [a] new [version]. :)

I'm hoping you go to the GC to announce Street Fighter Third Strike on XBLA & PSN. :D
Ono: No. I [won't].

Is your project the same as the one Keiji Inafune is showing at Comic-Con, [Mega Man Universe]?
Ono: It's different. :)

I loved the Alternate Costumes in SSF4 Artbook. Maybe we'll see them in a future SF game?
Ono: Well... I'll think about it.

How about a Capcom vs. SNK 3?
Ono: Personally, I hope for it. But I don't have time. Will anyone make it? :D

Is there a chance a Street Fighter vs. Mortal Kombat game will ever see the light of day?
Ono: Ummm, It's slim to none.

[Drakul]

Just got my tenpeat achievement. One of the few achievements I've felt I've actually earned. I fought 3 Cammys in the process and I think I've got a good handle on how to go against her now.

Oh and Game Informer has supposedly revealed what Ono will be revealing. Spoilers incase people would rather have it be a surprise at Comic-con.


http://cache.gawkerassets.com/assets/images/9/2010/07/500x_namcocapcom.jpg

Those aren't two interpretations of the same piece of news; if Game Informer are to be believed, then two fighting games are currently in development, both pitting the stars of Namco against the stars of Capcom.

Note these are fighting games, not a continuation of the old Namco x Cappcom RPG title that appeared on the previous hardware generation. Why two games? Simple: each company makes one! Capcom would be developing Capcom vs Namco, built on the Street Fighter IV engine, while Namco will develop Namco vs Capcom, which will run on the Tekken 6 engine.

As fighting game fans are already no doubt coming to grips with, this would mean two significantly different games, Street Fighter IV's 2D arenas contrasted nicely with Tekken's more three-dimensional combat.

GI say that Street Fighter IV producer Yoshinori Ono is handling Capcom's side of the deal, while it's expected Namco Bandai's Katsuhiro Harada will be in charge of the opposing project.

If this information is good - and there have certainly been strong hints to suggest it is - then the two games' debut trailers will be shown this weekend at the San Diego Comic-Con.

Source (http://kotaku.com/5591240/rumor-namco-vs-capcom-capcom-vs-namco-in-development).

If it's true, I'll be geting the Capcom version. I could never play Tekken. It always seemed so slow and sluggish but that was Tekken 2 or 3.

[Funky Fly]

Tekken 3 is a lot faster than Tekken 2, and subsequent titles are slightly faster still.

[Kalyx triaD]

I don't know how to feel about this.

[Fignuts]

I do.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[Kalyx triaD]

This is gonna start faction wars like you wouldn't believe.

[Fignuts]

So stop posting at SRK. Fucking shithole.

[alvarado52]

Seriously, why do you post there?

[Kalyx triaD]

I... don't know.

But they do get FG news on a speedy basis.

Nah... I got no reason.

[Kalyx triaD]

Arcade ad teases new characters...

Saw that shot yesterday but wasn't totally convinced.

This video seems to show it is real.

At about the 10 minuites mark.

I've also seen a rumoured list but I can't remember where.

[Drakul]

Who wants a "leaked" DLC character list?

No exact source as far as I know but it seems to be common knowledge over at GameFAQs. That's where I got the list that mentioned Hakan long before he was revealed.

Alex, Q, Rolento, Mika. Charlie, Elena, Hugo.

Alex & Rolento to be the first two announced at Comicon.

I'm happy about R. Mika and Rolento because I remember enjoying them when I played one of the Alpha games. Hugo = new grappler = another character for me. I've been interested in Q as a character for a few months now and finally getting to play him is exciting.

Why add Charlie, though? He's basically another Guile, right? Plus his "death" is the whole reason Guile is even fighting.

[Blitz]

Same list I've seen. And if it's true, I would be giddy like a school girl. Especially if Alex and Rolento are the 2 first reveals.

Charlie is interesting. I'd like to see how they differentiate him from Guile. Also looking forward to Q and Elena.

[Drakul]

Charlie is another projectile character and I've read his Sonic Boom is faster than Guiles in the games he's been in.
Great, that's what I need online. Another projectile character that's basically a faster Guile. If it's true, every ranked match is going to be Vs Charlie which means every match I have is going to be "Sonic Boom! Sonic Boom! Sonic Boom!" at a much faster rate. Urgh.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Charlieeee :heart:

Still annoyed there's no Sean though. Charlie better have a storyline. This is set between Alpha 3 and 2 and he was supposed to have died at the end of Alpha 3.

[Blitz]

He was probably just knocked out for a realllllllllllyyyyyyyy long time. Like Gouken.

[Blitz]

Speaking of Gouken, they oughta make Goutetsu playable at some point.

[Kalyx triaD]

SSF4 is gonna be stuffed.

[Kalyx triaD]

I've been hearing of many rumors brewing up this week. Having said that, I have been tweeting to say I will announce something new.

I don't know if this 'something' is what the rumor says or what you had in mind.

I'm only sure of one thing. We will not disappoint.

Be at San Diego Comic-Con Room 25 ABC on Saturday at noon.

I'm not only announcing one new 'something'.

Nor just two.

But I would like to talk about a few of our recent endeavors.

Sat. at noon it's going down. My predictions:

- Super Street Fighter IV Turbo DLC (and/or retail)
- Capcom vs Namco
- SSF4 anime finally getting localized

[Funky Fly]

You put your down down, you thrust your pelvis HUH, you thrust your pelvis HUH, you thrust your pelvis HUH...

[Fignuts]

Charlieeee :heart:

Still annoyed there's no Sean though. Charlie better have a storyline. This is set between Alpha 3 and 2 and he was supposed to have died at the end of Alpha 3.

I thought this takes place between street fighter 2 and 3.

[Kalyx triaD]

It does, though more likely this is a dream tourny. Far too many wtf additions to the cast.

[Drakul]

I'm no expert on SF story but didn't trailers and stuff mention SFIV was starting the story over or something?

That would explain certain characters being out their time period looking the same as they did previously.

[Kalyx triaD]

Don't recall it being a reboot. Might as well be.

[Drakul]

Yeah, I'm sure it was said "The journey begins anew" or "The story begins again" or something.

Anyway, photo of Ono preparing to announce stuff:

http://c0013434.cdn1.cloudfiles.rackspacecloud.com/x2_2110a8e

[Drakul]

Ono said if we want a Darkstalkers game everyone there should take out a dollar, so everyone did. He took a photo of everyone holding up money to try and get Capcom to green light a Darkstalkers game.

Ono said Capcom will be using SSFIVs tournemant mode for official tournemants called "Capcom Cup".

Edit: Announced new costumes for SSFIV.

[Drakul]

Costumes are shown. One is Rufus who has a "looks like a blueberry from Willy Wonka" costume and Blanka has a feather cape.

Talking about SSFIV 3DS right now. Showing screens.

Edit: "We're going to do our best to have the look and feel of SSF4 on the 360 and PS3 and bring that to the DS. So be on the lookout in the future for more information about SSF4 on DS"

[Drakul]

Ono: I'm getting a lot of questions about the blank character slots for the arcade version. Who do you think these are going to be?

Audiance: *Starts yelling out names.*

Ono: In September we have the Tokyo Game Show and we'll talk about that more then.

WTF? Why even bring it up!?

[Drakul]

Just announced: Street Fighter III: Third Strike: Online Edition.

Edit: Game wont be out anytime soon but they are taking fan suggestion.

[Drakul]

Now a fight has broken out and the producers from Tekken have walked in the door. Madness. They are handing out copies of Tekken to fans at a Street Fighter panel.

[Drakul]

Just announced: Street Fighter Vs Tekken

BTW, we're getting video about 30 minutes after the panel ends, I think.

Edit: There is also Tekken Vs Street Fighter with each company making one based on their game. I'll be getting Street Fighter Vs Tekken.

[Drakul]

http://media.eventhubs.com/images/2010/07/24_sfvstekken.jpg

[Fignuts]

Fucking amazing.

[Drakul]

Just demo'd the Street Fighter version of the game which had Ryu tagging in Chun-li during his Ultra to finish a Tekken character off.

[Drakul]

I'm betting there will be a catch to this cross over. Something like you can only unlock certain characters by having both versions or something.

Edit: Panel over. Videos should be online soonm.

I liked what wass announced but I'm still dissapoinhted they didn't reveal new SSFIV characters. I hate the announcing of an announcment which turns out to be the announcing of another announcement.
If he wasn't going to reveal anything, he should have kept quiet. I know he's trying to build hype but it's not hyping anyone, it's just pissing them off.

Good job considering.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

It's better than the legit port of SF2 to the C64 (that I owned)

http://www.wired.com/images_blogs/photos/uncategorized/2007/08/29/sfc64.png

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Just remembered how the Amiga version of SF2 ruined me. The dragon punch was a charge down up move and went straight, I don't think any moves knocked people down unless they were dizzy you could win the game with just a roundhouse.

Boy, when I went to my friends who had a SNES, was I destroyed when I was trying to charge a dragon punch.

[Kalyx triaD]

AlphaISM Radio recently had Henry Cen on as a guest. During the nearly 4 hour interview, Cen mentioned that the distributor for Chinatown Fair in New York said a few things about the arcade release of Super Street Fighter 4.

Note: This information came second hand from an unnamed source, so please take it with a grain of salt, but it was stated that:

• There's going to be at least 6 characters added to the game.

• Capcom was originally hoping for an October release date, but back then they had only planned on adding two extra fighters.

• They pushed the release date to December so they could add more characters in to the game.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

My original pre-order has been delivered...

[alvarado52]

lol, seriously? Did you get charged or what?

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Nah, I got my money back a couple of weeks after it came out. Fuck knows what happened to it lol.

[alvarado52]

So you got a free copy then?

[Kalyx triaD]

• Everything from Super Street Fighter 4 will be ported over to the 3DS, nothing will be removed.

• There may be two control options available, one similar to how Street Fighter 2 was on the Super NES, and another that uses the touch pad interface.

• There will be a slider so you can adjust the level of 3D in the game. At the max setting you can distinguish the background and characters very clearly.

• Ono said the team is also hoping to design the game so that when the 3D slider is off, it will look just like the 2D game.

[Kalyx triaD]

On his Twitter, Yoshinori Ono confirmed that he'd announce new characters for Super Street Fighter 4 at the Tokyo Game Show, Sept. 16 - 19, 2010. He also said he couldn't comment at this time if the new fighters would be available on the console versions.

[Funky Fly]

cool.

[Kalyx triaD]

For the love of God:

Karin
Yun
Alex
Rolento
R. Mika

And being that Rival Schools is in the Street Fighter universe:

Batsu
Hinata
Daigo
Kyosuke

[Funky Fly]

Can't have Yun without Yang. And don't the Rival Schools guys have like 34576547825 moves per character? Would that fit in well?

[Kalyx triaD]

Capcom Fighting Evolution makes mockery of this package deal you think exists with the brothers, and as far as I see Yun is way more popular.

And have you seen Ibuki/Dudley/Makoto/Chun Li/Akuma/Gouken/Seth's move list?

I prefer Yang. Plus, from a story standpoint it'd be weird that 1 is in and the other isn't.

And I never played Rival Schools (I was "lucky" enough to have an N64, which had exactly 3 good fighting games for it. None of them were Capcom games). That's kinda why I asked. Heard they had lots of moves.

[Funky Fly]

Aslo, never played Fighting Evolution. Heard nothing but bad things about it, plus it's rare in Canada.

[Kalyx triaD]

Both have been done, jus sayin.

They're going to be available on the consoles. They actually said months ago that any additions to the arcade version would definitely be added to the console versions. Not sure why they have suddenly decided to not comment.

For the love of God:

Karin
Yun
Alex
Rolento
R. Mika

Are those the one you hope for or are those another "leaked list"? I want R. Mika most of all. I also want Rolento and Sodom as I enjoyed them as well. Hugo because I never played SFIII and he looks like another big guy for me to use. I want Q as well because he sounds like an interesting character, gameplay and story wise.

I really hope we don't get Charlie (one Guile is enough.) or something lame like Evil Ryu. Akuma is, more or less, an Evil Ryu.

[Kalyx triaD]

Hopefuls. I've had my fill of leaked lists lately.

BTW, I am also out of practice. I've only played a couple of times since the tourney.

[Funky Fly]

Sorry. :'(

[Blitz]

I just lose it against charge characters all the time. The whole holding back or down for most moves usually leads to a turtle-y style that just frustrates me.

[Funky Fly]

You were whomping me pretty good those first 2 rounds. I just finally got my rhythm down, plus I started using a few new moves. You noticed the EX rainbow attack thingy yeah? Didn't know it had an EX version, because KKK makes him do the hop thingy, but it's incredibly useful.

[Blitz]

Yeah the homing ball. I was just always thinking it'd stop short and didn't block.

[Funky Fly]

It does if you're trying to go corner to corner, but the range is crazy good.

[Kalyx triaD]

Just in case you had any lingering doubts about the images that surfaced in Arcadia magazine showing a shadowed skateboard and rollerskate, a very similar photo has popped up on the official Japanese SSF4 blog.

http://media.eventhubs.com/images/2010/09/02_skatesboard.jpg

This is of course the promised character hints that were alluded to last week. The image text says something to the effect of, "What the heck are these?" Although, we know that these two items are commonly associated with Yun and Yang of Street Fighter 3 fame.

In addition, Capcom announced another arcade location test in Japan, on Sept. 11 & 12 — which included this image. It seems odd that Capcom would add this image in if the new location test didn't feature Yun and Yang in some way.

Assuming these two turn up, news should hit soon after the location test goes live, and you'll be able to find it here on the front page of EventHubs.com.

[Drakul]

Meh, Yun & Yang seem boring me. I've never played as them but they look so boring as characters. I read a few people say that Rufus plays similair to either Yun or Yang or both combined. I forget which.

I wonder how long the temporary flood of Yun & Yang (most likely in black) will last on Live when they are released before everyone goes back to Ryu/Ken/Guile.

[Fignuts]

Hoping for Alex and Sodom, personally.

[Drakul]

R. Mika, Rolento, Sodom and Q would be great to me. R.Mika and Rolento are apparantly sure things.

People have used the Solar Eclipse stage as evidence Elena will probably be added. I'm using the same logic with Rolento and the Metro City construction site stage.
R. Mika is going to be in because Ono loves her. Can't see my other two hopefuls getting in but I hope they do.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Sean, you cunts.

[Funky Fly]

Sean, you cunts.

Ken, Ryu, Dan, Gouken, Akuma, Sagat, Sakura, Seth(?)

Enough is enough.

[Kalyx triaD]

I wouldn't call Sakura, Gouken, Sagat, or Seth a shoto.

[Kalyx triaD]

http://media.eventhubs.com/images/2010/09/02_onoshot.jpg

[Mooияakeя™]

SF IV on the iPhone is awesome. Actually a game that doesn't look fucking cheap. Love it right now.

[RoXer]

I wouldn't call Sakura, Gouken, Sagat, or Seth a shoto.

Sakura and Gouken absolutly are

[Kalyx triaD]

Based on what? The names of their moves? Motions?

They play nothing like common shotos.

[Mooияakeя™]

No fucking idea what a shoto was, but I read this. Could resolve somethings?

http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/943709-street-fighter-iv/45656387

[Kalyx triaD]

No.

Sakura and Gouken are not shotos.

Technically speaking, Ryu, Ken, Dan, and Akuma are the only real shotos. Although they play differently, they have fairly similar bases.

[Kalyx triaD]

For instance I play Ken, but I could pick up Ryu, Dan, or Akuma based purely on their framework. Players of those characters thinking they could just hop on Sakura or Gouken 'because they look like shotos' have another thing coming.

[Funky Fly]

Sakura may have fucked up properties, but she is totally a shoto. Dragon punch: check. Fireball: check. Hurricane kick: check. 100% shoto.

Gouken is just a bizarro world shoto. Dragon punch goes sideways, hurricane kick goes up and fireball has 3 directions.

Sagat is Shoto-like.

I'm not talking about super technical details involving hitboxes and frames and shit, just general special movesets.

I really wanna see other character types make it in. If Charlie or Remy make it in, I will strangle someone.

[Drakul]

Is there a set definition for "shoto"? I've heard the term around when I visit places like Gamefaqs.
I thought it applied to characters based on the way Ken/Ryu play. They have a projectile performed by down-to-forward-punch. They have a rising upper cut preformed by forward-to-down-to-forward-punch and a horizontal traveling kick performed by down-to-back-kick.
If I was going by that, that would mean Ken, Ryu, Dan, Sakura and Sagat would be classified as "shotos".
Gouken is like an inverted "shoto". The inputs are the same but his upper cut is horizontal and his kick is vertical which is the opposite to how the others do it. That means 5 or 6 is you still count Gouken are "shoto".

The game has:
6 "shotos"
8 charging
3 grapplers
17 miscellaneous

Clearly, we need more grapple characters to even out the selection a bit more. Hugo is pretty likely and so is R.Mika so that should bring the grapple count up to a decent number. I just don't want any more "shots" personally and Charge characters are no fun for me to play as personally. I want grapplers or misc.

Speaking of Hugo, Ono is mentioning Poison a fair bit. He apparantly did the same with Yun & Yang before they were made to obviously be the first two.
Here (Eventhubs) (http://www.eventhubs.com/news/2010/sep/03/ono-more-store-ssf4-new-characters/).

I was thinking, maybe DLC will be packs of 2.
Yun & Yang
Hugo & Poison
R. Mika & Rolento (Alpha themed DLC)

[Drakul]

I should probably stop proof reading my posts so much...and make them shorter.

[Kalyx triaD]

Sakura may have fucked up properties, but she is totally a shoto. Dragon punch: check. Fireball: check. Hurricane kick: check. 100% shoto.

Her dragon punch is a rush move, not anti-air. Her senpuu has an arc and its usage is not like the Hurricane Kick. Her fireball is also more akin to wake-up checks than zoning like typical shotos.

She is not a shoto.

[Kalyx triaD]

I wouldn't call any of my post "super technical".

And it's stuff like what I posted that makes a shoto a shoto, not merely having a fireball or a hurricane kick. For instance; Batsu of Rival Schools has a dive kick, a wheel kick, a grounded uppercut special, and a fireball. But he is in fact a shoto, though his moveset doesn't seem like it.

[Funky Fly]

Part of Yun on show in this teaser image by Ono.

Ono is still hinting at Poison more and more.

Hey Ono-san, please make Poison good looking in Super Street Fighter 4.

Ono: I'll tell it to Battle Director. ;D


I'm getting married soon! A great gift from Capcom would be the announcement of Poison in SSFIV!

Ono: You have my blessing. ;D

Add Nash and Poison to SSF4 as DLC!

His whereabouts are unknown. I can't contact to him... ;P
Editor's note: This is interesting because of Poison's omission in Ono's response, as he's only referring to Charlie here, also known as Nash in Japan.

Any chance of glorious R. Mika also making her way into arcade SSFIV?

Ono: To Director — I want R. Mika too. Umm, please bring her back! ;P

Please bring those new SSF4 characters to PS3/360.

I'll consult with Capcom and Inafune-san.... ;P

I checked his Twitter a few hours ago with even more hints at her.

[Drakul]

I managed to get the "Long time no see" achievement today where you have to fight Gouken on Hardest in Arcade. Considering he's supposed to be harder to get to, his fight is much easier than the Akuma fight but that's probably because he doesn't have a warp to spam.

I beat Arcade on hardest with all character to get the legendery titles but now all I have left to do is stuff involving trials, colours, titles, alt rivalries and the C-grade achievements.

I'm having trouble with the trials. One of Zangiefs trials calls for 3 or so light kicks but, no matter what I do, they don't combo. After one kick, the rest all miss. Colours, titles, alt rivalries shouldn't be too bad but the C-grade achievement could be a bit much for me.

[Kalyx triaD]

Input the next kicks at a delay of the previous animation. It's hard catching the frame.

[Fignuts]

Timing for combos in this game is stupid ridiculous.

[Funky Fly]

Yeah, it's kinda exclusionary that way. The one major thing that pisses me off about an otherwise near perfect game.

[Kalyx triaD]

"Make a fighter for beginners" they said...

[Funky Fly]

What, Mortal Kombat?

But really, linking is gay. 1 frame out of fucking 60?

[Kalyx triaD]

SF4 was billed as a game that's assessable to lightweights and people coming back to fighting games. Ironically Mortal Kombat 9 will probably do a better job at this.

[Funky Fly]

Nah, everyone I've introduced SF4 to sucks balls at it. Like worse than me when I was fucking 10.

[Kalyx triaD]

So we agree.

[Fignuts]

Yeah, it sucks playing against people you destroy, almost as much as getting destroyed yourself. Although I will admit, it is endlessly hilarious, hitting an ultra on someone who doesn't know they exist. Especially when other people are watching who also don't know.

I did this once. Was a bunch of people playing SF4 for the first time and this chick is up and I'm letting her "win" (it looked competitive to all the noobs watching) and then take the lead. So she's got like 40% health and I've got a sliver left and I'm like "k, this match is clearly over" and she's like "eat it, bitch" and Ken is like "Shinryuken" and I win and everyone is like "holy shit" and then 2 of them bought SSF4.

Super Street Fighter 4's arcade location test in Japan has just gotten underway. It's now official that Yun and Yang have joined the rest of the cast — and new balance changes have been reported.

5:38PM PST-Yun's Genei Jin is his super. No word yet on his Ultras. (Anonymous Location Tester)
5:44PM PST-Ingrid is nowhere to be seen. (Anonymous Location Tester)
5:57PM PST-Yun feels stiff like Makoto does, but has his target combos (Anonymous Location Tester)
6:02PM PST-Yang also has his 3s target combos (Anonymous Location Tester)
6:18PM PST-Hakan's oil now stacks and he has a Kick follow-up to Oil. He can reportedly combo standing light kick into Oil.(Anonymous Location Tester)
6:27PM PST-Hakan's kick followup might be on Oil Slide. Waiting for confirmation, this was worded oddly.(Anonymous Location Tester)
6:43PM PST-Zangeif's EX Green Hand no longer causes knockdown. (Anonymous Location Tester)
6:44PM PST-Blocked Blanka Ball distance is halved. (Anonymous Location Tester)
6:45PM PST-Ryu and Akuma's Air hurricane kicks are not good for escaping anymore. (Anonymous Location Tester)
6:46PM PST-Juri's kick fireball combos more naturally (not sure what this means)(Anonymous Location Tester)
6:47PM PST-Something drastic has been done to Seth's jumping Hard Punch. It may be removed, waiting for more info. 2nd source confirms it has been removed. (Anonymous Location Tester)
6:51PM PST-Hakan can cancel 360K move now, reportedly with a crouch. (Anonymous Location Tester)
6:55PM PST-Honda U2 motion seems to have changed to HCBx2 (Anonymous Location Tester)
6:57PM PST-Hakan Slide Kick follow up seems to be auto oilup. (Anonymous Location Tester)
7:02PM PST-Zangeif jab SPD range seems bigger, but the source says it could be eyes playing tricks (Anonymous Location Tester)
7:09PM PST-Multiple sources saw a Yun Genei Jin combo do near 50%, so it is looking like a very strong super.(Anonymous Location Tester)

[Drakul]

Don't like hip-hop Ryu?

I don't because that's what we need, a hip hop look for the most overused character. Now 8 year olds and guys that think they are "BAMFs" have even more reason to stick with him.

6:18PM PST-Hakan's oil now stacks

That's good.

6:43PM PST-Zangeif's EX Green Hand no longer causes knockdown. (Anonymous Location Tester)

That's bad. The move currently has a window after it when it's blocked for the opponent to get a move in. If it doesn't knock them down now, does that mean they could still recover before Zangief and get a move in? Unless he can go from connecting the Banishing Fist right into a piledriver or something but he couldn't before.

6:51PM PST-Hakan can cancel 360K move now, reportedly with a crouch. (Anonymous Location Tester)

That's good. It was pretty bad when you timed that wrong and the opponent just moved out the way and you're left to just fly towards nothing or stand there running on the spot. Glad I can get out of it now, plus I'm sure it can be used to coax someone into jumping towards you (thinking they'll dodge you leaping at them) so you can do his oil grab.

7:02PM PST-Zangeif jab SPD range seems bigger, but the source says it could be eyes playing tricks (Anonymous Location Tester)

I'd like this if it's true. I always thought his grabbing range should depend on the strength of the move. a light piledriver having a decently big range but a really strong one having very short.

[Kalyx triaD]

Ken can connect EX Hadoken after anti-air light Shoryu. Being that I prefer light Shoryu and catch people often, I likes this a lot. Wonder if I can connect Gurren Senpuu after it as well.

FUCK YOU, RYU, I CAN DO IT NOW

[Funky Fly]

Yer. I'd like the same range dealy with T. Hawk.

[Kalyx triaD]

I THINK T. HAWK CAN MANAGE

[RoXer]

Kalyx hop on were playing

[Kalyx triaD]

Bro's on.

[Funky Fly]

Good session tonight. Perfected both Kalyx and Drakul at one point. :cool:

[Kalyx triaD]

Epic session. Don't know where to start.

[Kalyx triaD]

Hakan's the devil.

[Funky Fly]

Agreed.

[Kalyx triaD]

I can say with confidence Chun's arc kick is my favorite move right now.

[Fignuts]

Wow, that was the best session I've ever played. Not just from my own performance, but also how close almost every match was. Fucking great.

Roxer beat me most of the night, but towards the end, I went on a 4 match streak against him, which was great. I was just in the zone at that point.

First time I've ever played kalyx, and it went A LOT better than I thought it would. Almost every match went 5 rounds. He won the majority of the matches, but the gap wasn't that big.

My abel and Ryu are back in the form they were when I was at my peak in SF4. Maybe a little better.

And Juri. Fucking hell so happy at how she's coming along. (barring one brain fart against sakura) I even managed to hit her Focus Attack > EX Dive Kick > Ultra, which I practiced for an hour, and still never thought I'd hit in game. I almost caught kalyx with it a couple times, but I fucked up the input as usual.

I want to start learning Guy, Cammy, and Chun-Li, but my regulars are in such a good place right now, I'm afraid to risk not using them as much.

[Fignuts]

I can say with confidence Chun's arc kick is my favorite move right now.

I fucking hate that thing. And your Chun-Li in general. Glad I at least won one match against her, but fuck's sake. So hard to get a move in once you're in close.

[Fignuts]

Is there anyway to access your replays from a website or something and share them online?

If not, they should implement that. Because just about every fight tonight was worth watching.

[Funky Fly]

Replay channel bro

[Fignuts]

Would be nice to post them here I mean. Would be more convenient.

[Funky Fly]

You can save and label the ones you want to keep for quick access. We can see them too.

[RoXer]

We can? Ii thought we have to be in his lobby he set up

[Drakul]

I enjoyed my brief time in the session. Never usually have voice chat enabled because I can never hear what anyone is saying. Had it on this time and I'm glad I did.

Two highlights that I enjoyed were both reactions of Funkys. I'm assuming they were Funky given what was happening on screen. When I caught him with the Siberian Blizzard and he kept saying "I didn't even jump!". Did you dash? Dashes connect as well. Anything that takes your feet off the ground connects.

What I really liked was the "WHAT!?" when I did Hakans U2 after the FA. Was laughing at loud. The best reaction to anything I've done to anyone in Street Fighter.

Cammy is still a weakness of mine when I'm not Zangief, it seems. Kalyx knows how to put the pressure on me.
T. Hawk is also a little tricky when he has his U2 selected. Forces me to play slower than I feel comfortable doing.

[Kalyx triaD]

I fucking hate that thing. And your Chun-Li in general. Glad I at least won one match against her, but fuck's sake. So hard to get a move in once you're in close.

Your Juri would play similarly too! You should totally rock the light pin wheel and then hit your mk xx fierce pinwheel (or sweep) to lay the pressure. It's essentially like how I use Chun's arc kick.

Overall I see a lot of my tendencies in your style. We'd jump, retreat, or toss plasma consistently in unison. Fighting you was educational.

Is there anyway to access your replays from a website or something and share them online?

If not, they should implement that. Because just about every fight tonight was worth watching.

I'd buy that as a DLC upgrade if that would coax Capcom into doing it.

[Drakul]

We can? Ii thought we have to be in his lobby he set up

You do. He can save them permanantly (name them & rate them out of 5), set up a lobby and invite you into it to show you them.

[Fignuts]

Fuck, that whole session was too intense. I'm all fucking wired now.

[Funky Fly]

I enjoyed my brief time in the session. Never usually have voice chat enabled because I can never hear what anyone is saying. Had it on this time and I'm glad I did.

Two highlights that I enjoyed were both reactions of Funkys. I'm assuming they were Funky given what was happening on screen. When I caught him with the Siberian Blizzard and he kept saying "I didn't even jump!". Did you dash? Dashes connect as well. Anything that takes your feet off the ground connects.

What I really liked was the "WHAT!?" when I did Hakans U2 after the FA. Was laughing at loud. The best reaction to anything I've done to anyone in Street Fighter.

Cammy is still a weakness of mine when I'm not Zangief, it seems. Kalyx knows how to put the pressure on me.
T. Hawk is also a little tricky when he has his U2 selected. Forces me to play slower than I feel comfortable doing.

Yeah, that was me. :$

Don't think I dashed either. I think T. Hawk is just a tall motherfucker and got pulled off the ground. :mad:

[Kalyx triaD]

Would love linking vids here YouTube style, though.

Guess we gotta pony up for those capture devices.

[Kalyx triaD]

Funky should do commentary for fighting games.

[Fignuts]

Your Juri would play similarly too! You should totally rock the light pin wheel and then hit your mk xx fierce pinwheel (or sweep) to lay the pressure. It's essentially like how I use Chun's arc kick.


Yeah, just started using her a week or so ago, so I'm still figuring things out. Honestly, was anticipating a rough time against your Cammy and Sakura, but Chun-li was the hardest to deal with by far. Should think about maining her.

Chun's a recent addition and she's been very impressive lately. She's already a better weapon than Ken's inconsistent ass. I still think Cammy's my queen killer bee, she's the digital manifestation of my fighting game ideals. Mostly.

I'm not against putting Chun in the main seat of she begins being a true terror, though. Picked her up in TvC and will continue to MvC3 as well, so the 'relationship' is going places.

Chun got rocked by Funky's T.Hawk in one match. Totally shut down.

[Fignuts]

Just curious, but does anyone here have a stick? been considering getting one, because almost all my life, I played fighting games excusively at the arcades. Wasn't til recently that I started playing on consoles, and I feel like I wou;dn't blow so many inputs on a stick, since it's more familiar to me.

[Kalyx triaD]

< Thumbstick player. Can't do anything on an arcade stick.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Yeah, it really makes a difference to the game. I got the Telken 6 wireless stick for cheap and even though it's not a high level stick, it makes the game more fun and improved my game.

Just remember that you can do the move motions a lot quicker, and if you do them full speed online, it doesn't register like it does offline.

And if you ever use MAME on PC, having the stick is brilliant to just plug into a Windows box.

[Fignuts]

One thing it will definitely help me with is the little dash steps. Just CANNOT do them well with the tiny thumbstick. At least not like roxer.

[Kalyx triaD]

Tap-tap that bitch.

[RoXer]

I couldn't dash for the life of me either so I use my right thumb on the dpad to dash.

Yeah

[RoXer]

Probly like only 40% of the time

[Fignuts]

I've got Abel's jumping mid kick/cross-up to change of direction combo down pat, but now I need to try and get his tornado throw in there more often, because that is a DEADLY move. Almost takes off as much as some of the supers. A lot of times, I have a freebee oppurtunity, but I don't think of it fast enough, and end up doing a regular throw.

[Fignuts]

From Eventhubs


• Yun's Super is the infamous Genei Jin (Custom Combo) from Street Fighter 3 Third Strike. It has the trailing shadows you remember and he can Cancel the recovery on all moves, plus everything juggles. A few players were able to land combos that took off 40-50% of their opponent's life, and went up to 50-60% when they had them cornered. Also, this can be Super Canceled into off of Yun's Shoulder Attack.

• Ultra 1 is his You Hou, it hits four times, but the last hit is a Launcher. If the first hit connects cleanly, he will go into animation. If not, Yun does the other attacks anyway, like Makoto's Ultra 2. This has a very short range and does not hit on any Focus Attack Dash Cancels. But he can follow up an Ultra 1 with his Lunge Punch or Genei Jin combos, but only if you activate before you land the Ultra 1.

• Ultra 2 is a punch rush, if the final hit connects cleanly Yun goes into animation where he rides his opponent in the air like a skateboard, then kicks them down to the ground. This also does not combo from any Focus Attack Dash Cancels because of its short range.

• All Yun's specials from Third Strike are in the game. Including his Palm, Flip Grab, Dragon Kicks, Shoulder Attack, etc. Light Punch Palm is a fake, Medium and Hard change the distance the opponent flies away.

• His Dive Kick is great, like Rufus' and his overhead, Toward + Medium Kick, can crossup a grounded opponent.

• Yun's Shoulder Attack seemed to have worse range than you'd think. His Dragon Kicks also seemed to trade quite a bit, but the EX version seems like it will be good anti air.

• Yun has his Third Strike target combos.

• Some players have claimed Yun feels "sluggish" like Makoto in SSF4.

• Yun's Ultras do not combo off his Standing Medium Kick Launcher.

Yang

• Yang's command dash was in and crossed up like Ibuki's in SSF4.

• His EX Fist Slashes looked like a great move, crazy fast.

• He also has his Third Strike target combos.

• Yang's Ultra 1, Raishin Mahhaken, makes him throw out a single attack — if it connects cleanly, animation follows. If not, the ultra ends there — similar to Makoto's Ultra 1. This will only connect from close range only.

• Ultra 2, Tenshin Senkyuu, rolls forward along the ground and goes up in the air with a rising kick. If Yang connects cleanly on the ground with the roll portion, the rest of the animation kicks in. If not, Yun goes up in the air with kicks. This Ultra will pass under fireballs and it has some tracking properties. If his Ultra 2 is started while the opponent is in the air, Yang will rise up with kicks where they're jumping, but in this scenario it won't lead to full damage. This can be comboed into off of a Focus Attack Dash Cancel or Medium Kick Launcher for less damage, again it won't connect fully in these situations.

• Yang's Super is his Seiei Enbu (Custom Combo) from Third Strike. Works much the same way, but not as good as Yun's.

[Fignuts]

Yun sounds reaaaaallllly nasty.

[Kalyx triaD]

They should seriously release the update as Ultra Street Fighter IV.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Surely it should be Super Street Fighter 4 X Grand Master Challenge For Online Network?

[Kalyx triaD]

Or Super Street Fighter 4.5

[Fignuts]

Fuck it, can't sleep. Gonna play again.

[Blitz]

Can't wait to pick up Yun and Yang.

[Blitz]

Also pissed I missed out on the epic session last night.

[Kalyx triaD]

Great matches.

[Funky Fly]

I am going to prepare food. After I eat, I will be playing Mass Effect, unless someone wants to have more epic sessions.

[Kalyx triaD]

I though I never slept.
