Holy.... Fucking... YES!

[Xero]

Yay, another game they get to whore out with 106560151 versions.

[weather vane]

Looking good.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Yay, another game they get to whore out with 106560151 versions.

There were only 3 versions of 3 and each one was a definate balance improvement with new characters.

3rd Strike is still a game I just love to play.

[Xero]

So why didn't they just release one version that was perfect?

Oh, right, it's a money whore series.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Street_Fighter_games

There must have been 50+ releases.

[G]

I agree, SF has to be one of the most whored out games besides Mario.

[Blitz]

Looks fucking hot. I am psyched.

Also lol Xero, did Street Fighter push you down and steal your lunch money or what?

[Xero]

Nah, just stole a bunch of other retarded peoples' money.

[Vietnamese Crippler]

It's about damn time they made it :y:

[thecc]

Hopefully there will be online capabilities when this comes out.

[Xero]

Nah, that'll be in Street Fighter 4: Alpha Ultimate Turbo Edition Online Extravaganza.

[Kane Knight]

SF is probably the most whored out series. With 5 million versions based on SF 2 alone...

Still, I'm looking forward to it. I haven't even played SF3 yet, but I loved the series.

[Blitz]

Street Fighter 3 is the pinnacle of 2D fighting games.

[G]

I haven't played enough of SF3 to change my mind on it sucking. Maybe it'll come to Live soon.


But which version of 3. :lol:

[Funky Fly]

Street Fighter 3 is the pinnacle of 2D fighting games.
Guilty Gear XX Reload

[Blitz]

No, my statement was correct.

[Funky Fly]

Oh, Reginold... I DISAGREE!

[Kalyx triaD]

They do balance the game out with the various editions of the same game; the only shady part is that they sell those patched editions. With this console generation being the online generation, traditional updates may be possible. Imagine if Street Fighter 4 Turbo was a mere XBLive Update away? And Street Fighter 4 Championship Edition after that?

We'll see if Capcom avoids logic for greed.

this....is.....awsome

I could see them being paid patches worth at least $20.

[Funky Fly]

Damn, def gotta buy a copy of EGM now.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3164756

http://media.1up.com/media?id=3448787&type=lg

Numbers are supposed to be impressive, right? Well, it's been 10 years, two hardware generations, and about seventeen thousand rumors since the last pure number Street Fighter came around. And today we have the first ever official details on Street Fighter IV.

We don't blame you if your eyes have already skipped down to the screenshot lower on the page (yes, that's from the game engine). Take your time. But we've got some information as well, so the rest of this is probably worth reading when you get a chance.

Though the screenshot doesn't answer this question outright, we can confirm that the game's graphics are polygonal but the gameplay is strictly 2D. There will be new moves, locations, and gameplay features, while the standard six button control scheme remains. Ryu and Ken return along with Chun-Li and Dhalsim, but beyond that the character roster is a mystery. And then there's the issue of what platform(s) the game will end up on, which at this point Capcom is keeping close to its chest (if you search 1UP's database, you'll find listings for arcade, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions, but those are just guesses based on the graphical quality).

WOOP WOOP

[Kalyx triaD]

Oh God be 60fps, I demand it.

Lookin sweet so far.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

I just wanna know why Ryu has a boner

[Fignuts]

I pelvic thrusted my computer moniter off its desk.

[Blitz]

More info apparently leaked on a Brazillian gaming blog. None of this is exactly confirmed, so who knows, but:

http://img90.imageshack.us/img90/442/24416550xsf4leaked2io3.jpg

http://img90.imageshack.us/img90/41/sfivscreen001ms8.jpg

The graphics aren't the way they are in the teaser that everyone watched. The game's still pretty, but it has nothing of that ink-splashing or anything. Art direction is interesting. Unlike all the other 3D fighters, SFIV is not meant to be photo realistic.

Street Fighter IV runs at 60 frames per second.

Street Fighter IV will have online play.

The game takes place after Super Street Fighter II Turbo and before SFIII. The good news is that the character roster will be made of many old-school brawlers and some entirely new ones. There are two new girls on the list. We will probably not see any SFIII characters.

The stage you saw at 1Up, if you didn't figure out, is Chun-Li's Stage from SF2.

The excellent Parry system form SFIII is gone. The new system seems to be called Saving or Revenge (we're not sure about the name). We don't know exactly how it works, but it's built around cancels. And we do know we'll have another gauge to activate the Saving/Revenge stuff, besides the usual Super Gauge.

Supers are there (although they didn't decide yet if it will be like in SSF2T or SFIII), and now they've put another moves called Ultras. These makes your character throws a auto combo with tons of moves. It's like a custom combo ... except by the custom part.

Shen Long may appear in the game. We are NOT kidding.

The consoles are not decided yet, really. But, assuming that SFIV will have online play, we can obviously think of Xbox 360 and PS3 (duh). It's very likely that we'll see an arcade version without online mode too, and our sources told us that Capcom could put some test machines in Japan arcades in Q2 next year.

[Skippord]

Skippord has a raging erection at this news

[Kalyx triaD]

Capcom, I just wanna thank you.

[Fignuts]

Capcom, I just wanna suck your balls.

[Kane Knight]

Okay, I get Chun Li, Ken, and Ryu.

Why is Dhalsim one of the first they'd announce back?

[Fignuts]

He's a pretty popular character. I remember playing against a lot of dhalsim users at the arcade.

[Kane Knight]

Used to play as him a lot, myself. Back when I bothered with video games in arcades.

Tbh, the Saving system worries me. Sounds like it could be very unbalanced.

[darkpower]

Too bad the comments on Destructoid sounds like people who will bitch about the littlest things about it. She didn't look that bad to me, but DAMN, they are going to shit all over the game because one character had a design that didn't fit their EXACT perception of the game? C'mon.

His basic design is a throwback to SF2's art style... which I dig. Looks like he could move, too.

[.44 Magdalene]

He looks very Street Fighter appropriate. As long as his moveset doesn't render him too generic, I like him.

[LoDownM]

Looks like Chun Li will continue to be my favorite Street Fighter character.

[Kane Knight]

http://ps3media.ign.com/ps3/image/article/851/851091/street-fighter-iv-20080211101738338.jpg

I can't see that picture and not make a "doggy style" crack.

[Sepholio]

He looks very Street Fighter appropriate. As long as his moveset doesn't render him too generic, I like him.

Yeah, with his build I am hoping he isn't too similiar to Zangief.

[Funky Fly]

Crimson Viper looks like something out of the newer King of Fighters games.

Digging that Abel guy, tho. Looks mad Street Fighterish.

[Kane Knight]

Fucking nice.

[Kalyx triaD]

The speed is more deliberate, and the hits high impact. It's gonna be a brawl.

[.44 Magdalene]

Lol, Blanka's tiny legs are much more noticeable in 3D.

Zangief is looking unusually sexy.

Needs more Vega.

[Kane Knight]

More Vega would be a good thing.

I've never been big on Zangief, and his inclusion in this series makes me cringe because I won't feel like I've beat the game proper until I've won with him. Ah well. He's the only one of the "original eight" I didn't like at all. Even Honda had some benefits.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Chun-Li is always great in my book, but I will say I was always more partial to Cammy, and I kinda hope she makes it in this game.

I think I preferred the ps2 controller over the arcade in Tekken Tag. But I don't remeber it having 6 punch/kick buttons. I just can't see being as effective with a pad instead of a stick.

That Raging Demon looks awesome.

[Kalyx triaD]

Sakura!:

Ryu's sometime-student joins the fight. (http://img164.imagevenue.com/img.php?image=46355_sf4_122_687lo.jpg)

[Funky Fly]

You know what would be cool? If they added a few SF 3 characters to the mix. Like Sean, you know? Characters whose stories are tied to SF 2 characters so that they could logically appear before SF 3 happens.

[Funky Fly]

Also, while the inclusion of Sakura is great, all I can think is "yayyy, more shotos".

Even though I just said they should add Shawn to the game. Yes. :)

[Kalyx triaD]

Actually Ibuki and (probably) Alex will make the console versions.

Yeah...

Ryu, Ken, Akuma, Gouken, Dan, and now Sakura. Dragon Punch central.

[Boomer]

Cammy's going to be added too, so I'm sure we've got lots of good characters coming.

[Jeritron]

Okay, now heres a new game thats awesome. Looks great.

Shoto?

Pardon me for not being up on weaboo speak, but the only "shoto" I know of is a Japanese sword. Unless it's a reference to Shotokan Karate, but I thought they dropped that from Ryu and Ken's bios years ago...

Is this something like where "Uke," which is a martial arts term for the guy in practice who "receives" a technique is now also a term for a "catcher" in gay porn?

[Kane Knight]

Those vids are awesome.

True "Shoto" was used and eventually dropped from describing all the Ryu clones. The term is still used more in a fan-label sort of way, no weight to it.

But is it a term i ngay manga? :shifty:

[Funky Fly]

Nothing to do with gay manga or whatever, like Kalyx said, it refers to the old misnomer of their styles. Basically any Ryu clone is a shoto.

[Kane Knight]

I just try and turn anything Japanese gay.

[Funky Fly]

Holy fucking shit. Especially that last fight.

Hope to God the announcer can be turned off when it hits consoles.

[Kalyx triaD]

Doubt it. 'Commentary' in fighting games was dumb in VF5 and it still is.

[Funky Fly]

Capcom vs SNK 2 and MvC 2 were both pretty bad for it too. If you ever played Fighter's Destiny on the N64 (which totally needs to be remade, btw), horrible commentary was there too.

[Kalyx triaD]

LOL Actually Fighter's Destiny was the only fighting game that meshed well with the idea. Everything else moves too fast.

[Blitz]

God the animation in this game is fucking beautiful.

[Funky Fly]

LOL Actually Fighter's Destiny was the only fighting game that meshed well with the idea. Everything else moves too fast.

The idea was sound. The execution was balls.

[Kalyx triaD]

Guess NBA Jam will go down with the best commentary ever.

[Kalyx triaD]

There's some scans of Cammy and Gen from some magazine. Too lazy to link now. The mag revealed that Cammy would recieve "new combo oppertunities" from her base move set (and she is infact in her Delta Red gear :love:), and Gen retains his two fighting styles from the Alpha games. The game will also have a setting where playing Arcade Mode can be interupted by... you guessed it, A New Challenger (from online).

[Fignuts]

http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/kotaku/2008/11/sf4rose.jpg

Rumored to be the final roster right here. Can't say I'll miss Dee Jay and T. Hawk. Also, loks like Rose is in.

[Fignuts]

Honestly, would have liked to have seen more returning alpha characters. Or at least someone else instead of Dan.

[Kane Knight]

I like T. Hawk. Then agian, how many Injuns do we see in fighting games?

And Dan. Really? Did we need a joke character?

Hmmmm...Rose. SOUL FLAME! Or whatever it was.

[Vastardikai]

Nightwolf?

I know I could get the soundtrack elsewhere, but I've always been weird like that about buying CDs. The movie is a bonus. And at $10, it's actually a pretty good deal, considering retail on everything included would probably be around $55 normally.

Plus, I'm guessing you've been lucky enough to never have anything break down on you. I've worked in retail, and it is soul crushing when someone like you, who didn't buy the warranty, comes back to try and get a replacement and the store is like "kiss my ass, talk to the manufacturer" and the manufacturer is like "ching chang chong, not manufacturer defect, kiss my ass" and they have to buy another TV or stove or whatever. It just happens too frequently.

As a sales guy, I used to look out for my customers. I wouldn't even bring up a warranty on shit that I knew would last forever or where getting a warranty wasn't worth the price. But for big shit that'll cost you $1500 - $5000 or more, you'd be crazy not to have that protection.Maybe he wants to, ya know, actually have a legal copy?
see above.

Yeah, I've done the retail thing too. I've been at Circuit City and at Staples, where selling the protection was your job security. I had a sales manager at Staples get fired because the electronics (his side) department wasn't selling enough service plans. So, I know from experience that most stores push it on you because that's what makes them the $$$, not because they give a fuck about you.

Yeah, they always want you push it, but I built a customer file based on actually looking out for my customers.

Incidentally, I've only ever had one return on any of my sales, and it was because of the warehouse guys fucking up with stock and not my fault in any way.

- a CD soundtrack
- a collectible Ryu figurine for the PS3 edition
- a collectible C. Viper figurine for the Xbox 360 edition
- a Udon/Prima Hint book
- and 5 downloadable costumes.

I checked out a few sites about the European and Australian versions of the Collector's Edition and it seems the PAL version isn't coming with a CD soundtrack. I haven't seen it said "It wont have a CD soundtrack" but when ever the content is listed, it never mentions the CD. Though, it does give the impression it will come with both the figurines and it says the hint book will be in comic book style.

- Limited edition figurines of all time favourite character Ryu and the all new character Crimson Viper, positioned within the familiar settings of the 'crowded Chinese downtown'.
- A bonus disc containing a feature length HD quality anime movie, created specially for the launch of Street Fighter IV and a selection of the best game trailers to date.
- A mini strategy guide created in the style of a comic art book detailing the moves and biographies of four of the new characters to the series; Viper, Abel, El Fuerte and Rufus.
- Exclusive downloadable game content.

http://www.videogamer.com/news/05-12-2008-10118.html

I was going to preorder the Collector's Edition for the anime and the CD but I'm not so sure now if it's going to be one and not the other. Plus, the figurines look pretty small. Not like the regular sized ones you see in videogame stores.

[Kalyx triaD]

I hope the studio doing the anime does Street Fighter animation from now on. Great stuff.

Ken's english is already a normal to me (because its the Devil May Cry guy doing it). I'm glad they still say their move's commands. But really, who didn't expect that? The USA cartoon show had the actors keep the Japanese names for moves. That was quite a beat down, BTW.

GET USED TO IT.

EDIT: I believe he's saying "Try this on for size!" during the Hurricane Kick.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

I've not really paid attention to it before it comes out, because I was gonna get it regardless. But SF3 style parrying it looks like <3

[Kalyx triaD]

Yeah, the Focus Cancel. Focus Attacks absorb one hit while charging, and they can be canceled into a forward of back dash. So take the hit and dash forward or back to replicate the parry system in a way.

[redoneja]

Wow, glad I'm stumbling across this thread. I haven't played a SF game since Alpha 2 for SNES. This looks amazing though. Definitely going to have to pick this up when it comes out.

Since it's been so long for me, what should I expect the learning curve to be like, in comparison to say, Virtua Fighter 5, which is probably the last fighting game I've spent a good deal of time on.

[Kalyx triaD]

Easier than VF, harder than Super Turbo.

Pretty lenient in my honest opinion, but I'm saying that based on vids.

That thing looks top quality.



From what I've read, they only made 1,000 yet had 20,000 preorders. So good luck trying to find one. :(

[Boomer]

I'm pretty sure I've watched every online video I could find on this game. I honestly hope the PC version can run on my arcade, in hopes that I'm not crazy enough to buy two MadCatz sticks.

Something about the grip areas seem to wide. I'll need to hold it for myself.

[Vietnamese Crippler]

Man, I was watching people playing this at an arcade I visit sometimes and I must say I'm really, REALLY looking forward to this :drool:

It'll probably be cheaper to upgrade that machine than buy two of them sticks :p

I can't remember the last time I was in an arcade. This game will give me a good reason to.

[Vietnamese Crippler]

Just wait a few more weeks and you can play all you want without the quarters and getting raped by one guy with 1123987234 straight wins.

[Boomer]

Man I love Street Fighter, but never have I been any good. I am horribly playing as the right player, and I have such difficulty pulling off any F D DF move. Was just playing some Third Strike, and I am pathetic.

[Kalyx triaD]

Practice makes perfect. Cliche, but that's really the way.

[Boomer]

I will be all over that SFIV training mode. God if I could figure out combos and links myself.

[Kalyx triaD]

One of the first things I learned was Medium Attacks usually link into Special Attacks. Crouching Med Kick > Fireball (Ken) is a simple combo I still use to this day out of habit.

Some are spot on what I always imagined them to be. Others are infuriating. Some go either way. Well, so long as all of my kliq sounds alright!

[Blitz]

Cammy sounds sexy as hell :$

[Funky Fly]

Dan and Feilong sound especially poorly done.

[Fignuts]

Chun li sounds horrible. Sagat is just confusing.

Zangief and Vega are perfect tho.

[RoXer]

Sagat is terrible. I didn't mind Fei Long.

[G]

That was 5 minutes of crap. I seriously hope there isn't much talking in the game.

[Boomer]

As was seen in the one hour 1up video, you should be able to toggle each player's language separately, for anyone who hates the American ones.

[Kalyx triaD]

When given a choice I tend to choose American anyway.

Awesome. Won't look like a total douche wearing that around town.

[Kalyx triaD]

Like I can't find a red cloth.

[G]

But thid has SF4 written on it!!!!!

[RoXer]

Can;t wait to customize my win quotes

[Drakul]

Can;t wait to customize my win quotes

We can customize our win quotes? I thought the only "customizing" we would be able to do would be selecting the pose the fighter does but we can actually put in our own text? Interesting.

[G]

Who cares. That is dumb.

[Funky Fly]

We can customize our win quotes? I thought the only "customizing" we would be able to do would be selecting the pose the fighter does but we can actually put in our own text? Interesting.

I'm pretty sure they just mean choosing which quote you use.

[RoXer]

I could have sworn I read you can add in your own text.

[G]

Yeah you also said the L4D thread was 3 pages.

[Fryza]

Pumped for this game.

Still sad I couldn't have Q or Ibuki in it, but I think I'll live.

But really, Dan and Sakura? Really?

[.44 Magdalene]

I'm sad that I couldn't have R. Mika in it. Why make a new luchador when there's already a f;ajkdjf;ajkf;ja.

Anyway, Dan is awesome. I'm not big on Sakura but everybody else loves her, so I can deal with it. I do approve of the Q and Ibuki love.

Especially Q.







Especially Q.

[.44 Magdalene]

They should have just put like 40 characters in this game, to be honest.

[Blitz]

No Twelve makes me very very angry.





Nah jk Twelve can fuck off.

[.44 Magdalene]

Wasn't Twelve the giant yeast infection?

[Funky Fly]

So all the extra costumes are DLC when they're already in the arcade version? Very lame.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

God, remember back in the Saturn/PS1 days where some characters wouldn't make the cut because there wasn't enough power?

God I'm glad those days are gone!

[Funky Fly]

God, remember back in the N64 days where some games wouldn't get ported because Nintendo decided to stick with cartridges?

God I'm glad those days are gone!

[Kalyx triaD]

Remember when the SEGA Dreamcast got arcade perfect versions of... everything?!

I'm glad those days are go-...

:(

[.44 Magdalene]

God, remember back in the SNES days when 3D was limited to Mode 7?

Fifteen miles in the snow! Uphill! Both ways!

[Boomer]

I'm really not looking forward to playing this game with a 360 controller until the PC version comes, but I'll manage.

99% sure I'm gonna leave the Japanese voices on.

[Khuntry]

I heard there's a replay mode that allows you to record matches and send them to people online.

[Kalyx triaD]

Yeah, but it's DLC.

Capcom's being reeaal funny with one. Still gonna buy it, too.

[Boomer]

At least the everything but the costumes will be free.

My new toys. Got a good bit off with employee discount too. Hope they work well enough.

Each Best Buy should have had at least 3 come in. SKU 9176027. A lot of them are keeping them in the back, so get them while you can.

[G]

Why do you have two? Do you have real life friends? What's that like?

[Boomer]

I have two for the same reason I have 4 of nearly ever other console controller. I am a video game whore.

...and yeah I hope to get my friends to play me. I'd rather not force them to use a 360 controller.

[G]

How much did they cost you?

[Boomer]

I got both for 55. I couldn't turn that down.

[Kalyx triaD]

Nice pads. Has a classic console look to them.

[G]

Have you fingered the d pad yet? What's it like?

[Boomer]

It's really really fluid. No clicking or anything. I don't imagine it will cause much strain on your thumb. Gonna hook it up to my arcade in a bit and try it on some Third Strike.

[Boomer]

I definitely don't have any trouble with F,D,DF motions. D,DB,B motions were a little weird...but its probably just me...something I could definitely get used to. I can definitely see how doing it too much could cause some carpal tunnel...but for a D-Pad on the 360 its the best you are going to get. I'm a little worried about doing focus attacks, considering those will be the buttons in the middle, and unless I map the shoulders to 3P and 3K I probably wouldn't be able to do Ultras easily...but again...probably won't be a problem with practice.

[Funky Fly]

What the fucking fuck? Are those not wireless? Shitballs. :mad:

[Kalyx triaD]

How far do you sit from your console? I don't think I've ever actually needed a wireless controller. They're great, but they didn't change my life.

[G]

Come on Funky, you of all people should know that hardcore fighting gamers demand nothing but the best. And the best means 100% perfect button reaction time with no possible chances of delays.

[Funky Fly]

Depending on which couch I'm on, as far away as about 35 feet.
Come on Funky, you of all people should know that hardcore fighting gamers demand nothing but the best. And the best means 100% perfect button reaction time with no possible chances of delays.

Even on low batteries, 360 controllers do not lag. Ever. Anyone who bitches about that is a crappy player.
