I'm reading wolfkrone's tweets as he's in the lab with Viper. Oh man next majors are going to be something crazy.

Is Krone going to SCR?
Got to fool around with blanka for a couple of minutes.
Don't see the point of rockcrusher buff unless I totally botched it. I couldn't get a fully charged rockcrusher to hit after a lvl 3 focus. Sooo... who is going to let me do that move out of the blue so I can link the c.mk xx etc after it? No one that's who.
Guess it's cool that heavy balls in combos now knockdown but don't really see the point since it's not untechable ( obviously there's the added bonus of not being punished when your balls hit... but that's was so bad I don't even want to remember it )
Nobody likes you blanka, go home.

You can combo into his Ultra 1 if you connect rockcrusher overhead. 2 frame link. >:|
Of course landing that is no trivial thing. Can be done off a focus crumple. >:|

I just saw the 2nd and 3rd video he put up since it made the front page of SRK. Lets just say I'm not pleased at all. Capcom, you fucked us

That's how I feel when people say ex ducking combos waste meter.

According to one of his comments on that 3 flame kick combo video, he is not going to make it this year.

I see. Ah well, foreign competition will run a train on US regardless. They've had the game longer.

So any word of when the update hits the PC version?
And looks Viper has more tricks. Capon trolled Saty.
I'm sure there might be new wrinkles to all of the characters. But with the way they update, it's hard to discover the tech like people have in TS or ST. And with the resurgence of fighting games, who know how much life this game has.

Oh god what has skyrim done to me? My cody is ASS. Also i didnt know hakan took less damage in oil mode.
I don't think it's going to have much of an effect either way, outside of a short-term bump.
Prediction: EVO 2k12 SF4 numbers are lower then 2k11 numbers, even if overall attendance rises.
I wouldn't be shocked if SC5 gets more entrants if the game reaches its potential. (big if there)

Honestly, I wouldn't mind if SFIV numbers went down if it meant good turnout for KOF, UMVC3, MK, etc. The FGC is too pro capcom.
But Marvel and SF will most likely be the top dogs again.

I'm not even sure which international players have been confirmed for going to SCR. Anyone know?

I haven't seen anything. Honestly, we've gotten a little international plate happy (hello Canada Cup, Season's Beatings and Shadaloo Showdown).
I'd personally like to see more east versus west action. These tournaments need more regional salt. I loved Noel and Jago last weekend. Imagine if Viscant had been at NEC?

the opponent that is a few hits from stun? I'd rather burn 4 meters than use super in the corner if thats the case.
I don't even...

People always flock to buffed characters. Ive been playing him since super and I tend to keep it that way.

Same. I'm not good enough to take advantage of his buffs of which, beyond walking speed I know little of anyway. So whatever.
Tried Kadey's room a couple times. Both times, right before it's my turn, it says host has left. She didn't, it was some weird way of kicking me even though it said it was a good connection. I'd love to know how or why our connections to each other somehow went to complete shit since AE dropped. It's fucking ridiculous.

I disagree. I like seeing the best of the best play. Currently, Japan have the most and best players in SF4. I get hype whenever a lot of big JP names enter, or any other international players enter. It just makes the tournament feel bigger, with more on the line. That's just how I feel.
5 minute impressions
1.deejay's low jab may or may not be 3 frames now. Feels as fast as his close stand jab on startup (which is 3f) this is most likely unchanged
2. super > ultra is a dumb gimmick. Does a SHITLOAD of chip though (and scales just as bad as i thought it would; full combo > super > ultra did about 325 on a low-health roo) U2 is still the better ultra...unfortunately (terrible pretzel motion)
3. stand strong is buff as all hell. Better range (same range as his low short on a standing opponent), better active frames, being special cancellable works wonders on the ground (but is not very useful on a jumping opponent as...they shouldn't be jumping at all on a charged deejay in the first place)
4. Don't know what to make of close hk. I don't think it's very useful at all.
I expect to see some nasty pressure setups with this button.
overall...meh, not very hyped for this revision. Hopefully an american deejay starts beasting on people in tourneys and inspires me to play better.
Yes, I am a scrub that is that easily influenced.

Seems it only cancels the super at a certain frame. The input window is huge for the ultra.
I've only spent a few minutes with it so I don't have any solid impressions yet. Once I finish school tomorrow I'm gonna be going in hardcore.
Some things I did notice were some stealth nerfs. Counter-hit st. RH pushes back hella far, so you have to cancel into lk duck or ex duck to continue the combo. I'm pretty sure CH RH xx lk duck is at least +5. Now you can combo into ex SSB on counterhit RH though, so that's cool at least. 400 damage in the corner if you tack on HP Jet Upper.
Another stealth Nerf was on forward fierce hitstun. In super and AE when you hit with a meaty Step Straight, you could combo into Ultra, fierce, roundhouse , crouching strong, whatever. Now you don't get anything.
You can juggle Ultra I off of Cr. RH and EX MGB, for not that much more damage than you would get for doing a regular combo. I guess you would do it if you wanted an untechable knockdown or if it would kill?
That's all I got, I spent about 20 minutes with him this morning before I got back to studying. Hopefully by tomorrow I can see what kind of potential these changes really hold.
XBL read 10MB for me.

Dude. I can't believe the disc version is sold out online at bestbuy.com already. That was like 6 hours ago when I went to sleep and they hadn't even started selling it yet.

Can't juggle off EX MGB for the life of me.
Even on Cr.RH, you'd have to do it in a very specific window and the window starts too fast for it to be a hit comfirm.
If you do manage to hit it, it does about 180-195 on a full juggle.
Eh. Not worth whiffing it unless you're in some casual matches or something.
Oh, and you can juggle off of any srk fadc U1 in the corner I think. Still, very tight timing required. No juggles off of duck upper/ex duck upper or straights =/.
Rose seem quite a bit better in 2012. The change to counter-hit mk makes her frame traps more dangerous. Especially when you use U2. It can also lead into Ultra 1 if you have meter to burn, the timing seems very strict though.
Lots of her basic combos can be FADC'd into ultra 1 and since her meter gain is up burning bars for it should be worthwhile.
Ex reflects buffs are dope. I feel like it will make matches against fireball characters shit loads easier.

Oni is a freaking beast. The new ex tatsu after air dash is so freaking ambiguous. In the corner i got a setup that i have a 100% success rate so far. Free ultra all day
And comboing into air demon from srk/air dash+++ i just so fun. 400dmg off a aa srk? yes please
Air dash cancel to air ultra is mad hard tho :/

For EXMGB the timing is pretty strict. I think Fwd. MK, RH xx EXMGB > Full Ultra I did like 411 damage. That's only eleven more damage than a regular corner combo and Ultra adds no stun.
The forward fierce thing is a pretty big nerf. Also, go to training mode and hit the dummy with a counterhit RH and see how far they fly. I have no idea what they were thinking.

I'm not denying the level of play that Japanese players bring, but the East versus West hype has been a bit subdued the last few years. Remember how it was popping off after Bar Fights 2? It caused the whole scene to step up. And look at how great the west coast is now. The below all dominate tournaments.

And J Wong
The Bar Fight 3 saw some of that. At this point, I think we know Japan is a little better (we're not free anymore with Wong, Latif, Krone, PR, etc.)
My question is what is more exciting another USA versus Japan match or seeing someone from say Texas like a FMF, Jop, Joe, etc win a major or a new regional rivalry like Texas versus SoCal, AZ versus Florida, etc.

vangief's been dominating tournaments lately?
Not as far as I know. I haven't seen him around since EVO.
Eh, the changes aren't the same as when AE launched and we were getting boned by twins. I believe Latif will be there so it'll be interesting to see him back in action.

I got that email by Sony for 3 1-month codes for me and 2 friends, so I felt like sharing it with this thread. So the first two people to post the biggest plate of nachos you can find will get a code.
Mmmm, nachos.
