One thing I gotta stop doing is false jumps against Cammy players. Too little recovery time. Dunno where I picked this habit up, but sometimes I jump straight up immediately after a knockdown and by the time I'm on the ground again, people are trying to knock me out of the air to find me waiting below.

I still do blind Cannon Drills knowing about the fucked up recovery.

Did you ever watch that flash cartoon?

Oh! Heading there now.

Well...

Let's just say I didn't finish the Crimson Viper one.

...Kind of fucked up.

lol you HAVE to finish that one. And make sure you are listening to what they are saying, not so much what they are doing.

Okay.

Me and RoXy kicked it like it was launch week, baby. He was rusty, and on the receiving of my updated Sakura usage (with new defensive theories and a useful offensive pattern). Good matches near the end of the session, with RoXy getting his groove back. Hope to get more action.

In the last few days I have had some sessions with RoXy and Khuntri. My Sakura is improving, but there are still certain kinks that need to be ironed out. My Ken is next to useless now and I think my affair with him is about over in this game. Vega is Vega, and Cammy is Cammy (though I would argue my responce time has improved with her).

Currently in G2-E in Championship.

RoXy's also getting his groove back. And I'm flirting with a return to Akuma.

Just got my 360 back. Havn't played this in months.

Well get your groove back because the tournament's coming.

It's actually coming very soon seeing as how G finally got it. I think I might make the thread this weekend.

Fight to Survive!

Tourney time? I haven't played in a while. Time to train.

Also, KoF98 + Garou: MotW on XBLA = win

Except for trouble pulling off super moves. :'(

Also, WTF @ no Canadian release of BlazBlue? :mad: I had to order this shit from Amazon.com and thanks to shipping, import fees and exchange rates it's gonna cost me $110. :foc:

Damn. Couldn't get someone to buy in the US and mail it to you?

lol, I love how shitty CAD is, makes importing from there so damn sweet.

Nah. Everyone I know well enough to do that is on a road trip to South Bend, Indiana right now. And I'd rather have it on Monday than the 15th. :'(

Well I hear it's worth the effort.

http://www.metacritic.com/games/plat...ger?q=blazblue

Definitely worth it. Guilty Gear with new characters = sex.

I am a-ok for a tournament. I am unstoppable on the easiest difficulty. :shifty:

Work on that.

I'd be down for this. I'm probably rusty though.

Not played in months. Could be in for a tourney though.

This is sounding good.

I would but I don't have a Gold account atm. Waiting on a deal better than Newegg's 40 dollar deal. Closely watching CAG to rectify the situation.

Oh nvm, guy selling 13 months for 30 bucks on CAG works fine for me.

If Khuntri's in along with RoXy's 4-character minimum deal (should be three, I think), it's a lot more interesting than that. It's all in the match-ups.

Khuntri isn't in as this is a "TPWW" tourney and not a "Friends of TPWWers" tourney.

If we're at an odd amount of players and need one more than yeah, he's in.

He's close to 100 posts here, and he's familiar enough with this section anyway. This is up for debate, don't cross me.

God I would have to practice a lot to get back in any kind of competing manner. I haven't played at all recently. Was hoping I could get the PC version running on my arcade box, but I'd have to get a new AGP video card...and I'd rather not shell out on something so frivolous.

You got 2 weeks. Plenty of time.

I gotta post shit to be considered a part of TP dub? Interesting.

Aw Khuntry's not feeling the love :'(

Holy shit. Didn't even notice. Do i get something for this? Otherwise whats the point to it anyways (not to be a dick or anything)

He besmirched the name of megaman, the greatest capcom invention ever.

So he's out.

Whatever :roll:

When CvM2 comes out, you two have a Megaman battle for the ages.

I still petition for Khuntri's entry in the tourny, BTW.

I'll Stomp all you punk ass Decepticons.

Easy, Ironhide.

BTW, the Transformers 2 game. Still haven't played it, dammit.

Yeah. Some of them are really good tho.

Balrog's is fucking awesome. Apollo Creed outfit.

Did you buy any of them? I dunno, most of them are awesome and I kinda want to buy the entire package. If I can find enough money to buy another cheap ass points card, I think I will.

Yeah, there are at least a couple really good ones in each pack.

Shoto Sakura!

I have them all. I love this shit.

Fucking Mike Haggar Zangief. Fucking win.

I use Sakura's shoto gi in pink. It's pretty much her uniform for me. It's cute, 'fighter authentic', and most importantly cute. Sometimes I drop the 'Dark Hadou' deep navy to be hardcore. If I ever pick her gym clothes (basically the shoto attire without the top), that's just me being pedo.

So yeah, I'm late to the party, but I picked up SFIV a little while ago. Honestly, I suck hardcore, but I learn fighting games best through failure, so Funky Monkey and company, feel free to hit me up.

Yeah, you're late, but you may catch some dudes online.

K, I'll kick you around if you like.

I turned on the online function and couldn't do a single match without being interrupted by an online opponent. I had to turn it off just to get through a round. Pretty sure I can catch some dudes online.

There's so many jokes to be made here, I can't choose one.

Yeah, you only really will ever use it to get 1 achievement then you'll turn it off forever.

Nah, I leave it on and just mess about inbetween online matches. Almost certain you're always player 1 using that method.

Spent 1 hour and a half just trying to beat Seth with ken on very easy... He s a dirty cunt.
Only just started playing it

My internet has returned with a vengeance as I just found out Charter has 20 meg service in my new area. Won't be having any connections problems from me, as long as I stop using that broken CAT5 that messed things up in my last match.

Ya I just got this a couple weeks ago since Play had it v.cheap. Getting a stick delivered next week :cool:

Haven't really played SF since way back in the Super days so it'll take time for me to get any good.

:yes:

You boys and your sticks.

It helps me with my insecurities

Nah, it does, I'm borrowing my friend's atm since he red ring'd. Just waiting for my very own to come in the post.

K, how are you at pulling off the commands for all the moves? Might want to work on that if he's giving you problems on very easy.

Also, Seth in general is pretty simple in round 1. 99.9% of the time he will start with low fierce (the Dhalsim punch) and he's prone to spamming focus attacks. A good way to take him down is to hit him with 2 fierce attacks or fireballs, then hit him with a shoryuken since a medium or fierce one will break his focus attack and cut of his health from regenerating.

Round 2 he will start busting out the triple shoryukens, sonic booms and Vega jump kicks. Also, any time you get a super or ultra he starts spamming teleports, so don't bother trying to use it. Your best chance to get him is when he leaves himself wide open after whiffing a move.

Czech T-Hawk in the background.

Cool. Has anything like a date or details been announced yet?

Cool... I guess...

Super Street Fighter 4 has apparently been announced? Maybe? Unofficially? Although I can't access the post featuring the announcement, here's a screenshot of a new fighter, Juri.

http://img245.imageshack.us/img245/8075/150249juri.jpg

There was more at some blog, but they've been taken down.

And the Japanese site.

http://www.capcom.co.jp/newwarrior/index.html

So it's going down.

Yeah, fished around and it's legit. I hope we have more than T. Hawk and Juri, though.

Edit the thread title to:

"Super Street Fighter IV Announced"

8 new characters and feedback based tweaks. Let's do this.

That's neat I guess.

What's neat will be the nerfing of Sagat. Thank God.

Now Cammy needs some new shit.

I understand why it's not DLC, but Kinda wish they would have just released a few characters as DLC, and saved everything else for a full fledged sequel. Even if it's not at full price, I'm not sure I'd buy it.

I'm so at the retail counter.

I was hoping it wouldn't be a disc. Well, if it's not full price, has enough new and extra features to actually justify it and can use my costume DLCs, I'll consider it.

I can't help but feel that within a year of SSFIV coming out, we'll get Super Street Fighter IV Turbo which they'll expect us to wander out and pick up because of some minor adjust to the game.

Anyone want to take a guess at what we'll get for having the original SFIV and SSFIV? I'm betting it'll either be a free DLC for the new character costumes or, if we're lucky, a retro style stage.

If having both unlocks everything in the next game I'm down. Sick of fighting game unlocks, major wastes of time - even if the item or feature is cool. I want all characters and colors from boot up. Art galleries and such can be locked, though.

Well, as long as I'm not looking at $70CDN for a new disc, I'm down. If it's more than $40 it's bargain bin time.

no she doesn't stop being greedy.

The trailer looked cool. I wonder who the other 5 characters will be. Will we see 5 originals or a mix of originals and old faces?

I want R.Mika. She was the only female I can recall being dangerous with (Edit: Perhaps my mind is just cloudly. I was young and it was a long time ago). Cammy is cool as a character but I'm awful with her. Other than her, I'm all for brand new characters. Maybe I'd have more ideas for who I'd like to see return if I had more knowledge of the series. I only have the basic SF move/story/character knowledge as fighting games aren't my main hang out as a gamer.

I hope we get trailers for each new character. That would be pretty fun, checking out a new character in motion. I find it easier to tell who I will and wont want to try out by seeing them in action.

Also, why is the game not out until Spring 2010? The game is complete, they're just adding characters, right? It shouldn't take that long.

You're telling me an updated version of a game with more features, more characters, more options in general is going to retail for LESS than it's predecessor?

Do I have that right?

Yes.

Like all of us ain't gonna jump on this.

Yeah, me neither. At least not until I see how much new shit is added. New Characters and a few gameplay tweaks isn't worth more than 20 bucks imo.

Judging by an interview I just watched (video below) it sounds like a fair amount will be added.

<object width="560" height="340"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/L9dITMggFc0&hl=en&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/L9dITMggFc0&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="560" height="340"></embed></object>

Some of the things in the interview worth noting including "8-ish" characters, a hint at online lobbies and bonus stages. It'll be priced at the same price as an "update" would but just on a physical disc which, to me, means it'll be about the same price as GTA IV DLC. I think we'll get more than he mentioned as he claims they considered DLC but it wasn't "practical". I'm interested and there is a high chance I'll pick it up but I need more info before it becomes a must.

wtf does 8-ish mean?

Around about eight. Maybe a little more, maybe a little less.

I've come across some "info" which is apparantly a leaked list of the characters being added to Super Street Fighter IV.



I'm aware GameFAQS isn't exactly reliable but I thought it was worth posting here to see what you guys thought.

If true, Guy makes me very happy.

Lack of Alex or Yun/Yang does not.

I didn't like SF IV that much so I might not get this new version.

You're lame. Lame and gay.
