Arturo's stream i'm guessing.

Did I say it was fine from the stream? No. I'm going off of who was playing it, the first two matches he had he said it was okay.

I am really torn as to which platform to get this on. My understanding is the 360 has better AA, and I suspect that I'll have an easier time finding a match with manageable lag on Live than on PSN in the US. But the 360 pad sucks balls, and while I have a Hori Ex 2, I played MK on the DS3 due to the nature of the inputs and found it much easier to pull off moves than I ever was able to in SF4 using my stick. Not sure how well my stick would work with MK style inputs. I guess I could get that transforming 360 controller for $50. Thoughts?.

You can switch to SF-style inputs in this game if you don't want to deal with the MK ones.
I'm personally getting this on PS3...I think a lot of others here on GAF are also.
Speaking about reviews, do we have a single score yet?
re: SF motions, here's an example.
MK motion of back to forward (46) is half circle forward (41236) if you use the SF option.
I haven't had a chance to do the STAR Labs thing, just the first ten which were Superman related. I didn't pay attention to what else it unlocked though. I do have all the secondary costumes for each character that were unlocked with uhh, vault keys.
I'm not 100% sure how I unlocked the third Nightwing one though (new 52 I believe). I didn't do the story or any battles.

Im in the same dilemma here...Ill play the PS3 version and be like "that looks fine, Ill just get it for the PS3," then I go and play the 360 demo and it just looks so much cleaner in image quality.
The PS3 controller is far superior for these types of fighters. I also have a HRAP pro for the 360 but I kinda hate setting it up everytime time I want to play a game for a few minutes and I dont have the ambition to be real competitive in fighting games...so Im sure I would just stick with the pad.
Online's not really a factor either since Ill have a shitty internet connection for the next few months and dont plan on even bothering with online play.
It looks like the 360 version is selling slightly more than the PS3 version...at least according to amazon.

I do want to use the MK inputs. I think they are easier. I suspect a pad is better for them than my entry level stick would be.
My pros for the 360 version are the purportedly better AA and my suspicion that overall in the US there will be more people playing on Live, but I don't have a suitable Dpad, just the Hori.

ARTURO STREAM ARCHIVE
Stuff is golden. I think CD jr even showed up to rock Killer Frost during this. Enjoy folks. 6 hours of pure gold.
3hr7 minute mark has some goooood Aquaman btw. I like his full screen game and his gimmick that makes him slippery so he can block after the first hit in any combo to fall out is awesome. Small combos so far, but his tick game is beautiful.
Also this is just wrong. He does it to everyone, but oh maaaaaaan its wrong vs Cyborg.

You can't sorry =(
Still, you can always hope that someone has an extra code and is willing to share.
Yeah, just buy a Joker and you'll get her.
I've got a ps3 code that I might not end up using if the Wii U gets dlc.
Oh man, that app isn't on android and my old ass iphone can't run it. Want that damn costume =(

Wait you can get costumes from the app? Cool lemme check that out
On stick its awkward, I've been trying to find one that is comfortable.
Light - Medium - Interact - Throw (?)
Heavy - Trait - Burn - Stance (?)
If I go LMH, then throwing becomes awkward to push L & H to throw. If I stick with default, hitting HMB or Burn and Stance to super is also weird. I don't need a dedicated Interact button since LM works.
Using the burn in general just feels weird.

Does anyone have a good reason why interactables and transitions should remain in use in competition? The former seems very easy to abuse and the latter takes too long.
TDLink

Because they are part of what makes the game new, different, and unique? Fighters don't need to be homogenized and all alike, otherwise what is the point of even having different ones? The timer also freezes during transitions so I don't see how it "takes too long".

Played the demo and just wasn't feeling it. Don't know if it was just the control setup, but I couldn't get any flow going.

That's the problem on pad too. Change it to regular LMH across the top and you fuck up grabs. I'll go with default for as long as I can. If not I'll change it to marvel and move grabs to R1 cause I'm used to hitting that for Smash I guess.
Anyone now which buttons are actually necessary and not like macros?

My guess is Transitions will be turned off during competitive play, but interactables add an additional layer of gameplay to the game that sets in apart from others. You are essentially arguing "Hey, why aren't Special moves turned off during competitive play?" because in my opinion, thats what interactables serve as. Character extensions beyond their set moves list that change depending on what arena you are on. There are some great combo opportunities with interactables turned on as well.

Talk of banning transitions/interactables is pretty dumb at this point. Nobody has much to base any arguments on either way.
Ban transitions to make more time for Tekken 3/5s.

Transitions need to stay. They add depth since the b+3 is unclashable. When you go for them you're giving up your corner advantage to do big unclashable damage. It's good.

How are interactables easy to abuse exactly? I think it adds a layer of stage awareness to the gameplay and it just looks cool as hell. A lot of them are one time use and avoidable.

If interactables are on, transitions have to be on, because changing what interactables you have access to by changing the stage is a part of using them.

I thought the general philosophy was always "play as close to default as possible and only ban shit that's clearly broken/dumb".
If they'll become a problem they'll be gone. Right now the game isn't even out so wtf

It's not like they're gems where they were hard to set up for tournaments in addition to people complaining they're dumb.
