You have no choice at the moment but to get started in Super as a disc ( or Games on Demand) buy. You could buy original SF4, but it's a much smaller player base now since a lot of people have moved on. Until later this month ( when the disc version of AE comes out ), if you want to be caught up with everyone else, you have to buy the DL version of Arcade Edition. It's the last installment in the SF4 series.

thanks man!

Gonna start working on the CEO/ReveLAtions megathread, unless somebody has already started making one or really wants to make it.

Anybody noticed how SSFIV is listed on XBL Games on Demand as "Arcade Edition" when in fact its just Super? A buddy of mine just bought it thinking he got both for $29.99. Sucks he now has to pay a total of $45 for AE. That's pretty shitty, though I guess only a $5 premium over the boxed version coming out later this month.

Still, you can pick up Super for $20 new, which he would have done had he known.

I just read the same thing on SRK. The guy got his money back by telling MS, and he got to keep the Super he downloaded.

total sf4 nub question: is there only one version of this game, or is it SF4 as well as SSF4? and what's this arcade edition i'm hearing about? is there an obvious place to get started?

Street Figher 4 and Super Street Fighter 4 are separate games; Super has a massive list of characters to choose from.

Arcade Edition is a patch to update Super Street Fighter 4, adding 4 characters to the mix. It is also getting a disc release later this month. The DLC is priced at a reasonable 1200 points.

If you're wanting to mess about with SF4, maybe have something to play with your buddies, I would probably recommend getting SSF4 considering it's at the same price as SF4 (here in England at least).

It's kind of crazy how many people playing Yun and Yang will keep dive-kicking when I'm playing Zangief. It's like they don't understand what is button I'm going to press.

I'm fine with them still jumping into Blanka, more free BP rack ups for me.

Pfffffffffffffft. That thing did ridiculous damage. No pity here.

Now nerfing Sim's Super from 350 to 300?? And ALSO nerfing his EX Flame from 180 to 120?? GTFO Capcom, that shit is just nonsense. I can deal with his normals being nerfed and worse recovery on st.lk, but those in addition to his specials and Super being nerfed is just overkill on a character who already struggles against the heavy hitters.

Sim's Super already scaled a lot after his BnB, and now that scaling of 300 damage makes it almost not worth doing unless the opponent is very low on health or it might finish them off. And while it's great that you can combo into EX Flame from a medium attack, the damage being nerfed so much means that it doesn't make sense to waste the meter when a Light Flame combo only does like 15 less damage. I'm already using Super more as an AA, after a Mummy juggle, or directly after a jump in attack so as to make the damage worth the meter being emptied. I guess I'll be using more EX Fires in projectile wars too now, but I already did that :/

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU Capcom! :mad:

Truth. Yoga Inferno nerf is another one of those strange nerfs. It's that much harder to edge out wins now. I took the numbers down in training mode, and it's true that all his damage has been reduced, with some even reduced below vanilla numbers.

And fighting the twins is just the nightmare I expected plus more. That Darui technology from the gamecho vids helps considerably, but I'll be damned if these aren't some of the most lop-sided match ups in this series. I understand the desire to increase offense in the game, but it's not 'Sim's strongest suit.

I'm moving on to greener pastures, moving sim to 2ndary. Capcom doesn't give a shit, so don't expect any changes.

@Rice:

I dig E.Ryu, too. But it's stupid as hell that he can't combo into sweep, and I hate how he can't cr.HK after a cross-up tatsu. I guess I'm trying to play him too much like Akuma still.

people who can read frame-data ( i,e not me )

with yang :

c.lp,c.lp,c.lk xx mantis slash
c.lp,c.lp,c.mk xx mantis slash.

It feels like the first one is easier, does the frame data support this or am I crazy?

Uh, this is why you quit Super?
Don't mind him, he hates ae and super because quite frankly he's not any good at the game. I'd be pretty salty if I spent 15 bones only to remember that I'm ass at sf.

And he was dropping shit like a hot potato, it was kind of disgusting actually.
He had been playing for quite a while at the time and really didn't seem to care anymore :lol just wanted to get matches over with

But yeah, he did drop a lot of combos and had a much less "fancy" cammy than you'd expect.

Trying to get the Hakan rust out and I keep falling into the "input Oil Rocket instead of Oil Slide" trap I fell into when I first started Super. It's driving me insane.

Though even with my problems I'm 50/50 against the twins online, which is nice.

So after all this talk of top players not liking AE, what do you guys think the chances are that eventually Super will be the tournament standard?

...zero. SSFIV does not exist for arcades. They will patch AE as necessary after Evo, I'm sure.

Look at how aggressively MVC3 is being handled. AE will no doubt receive some adjustments, but I don't think it'd be wise to change anything pre-evo.

Yeah good stuff man, no apologies necessary! I had to bang out early because my 48hrs were up. I'm sure I've got a couple more codes lying around so hopefully we can have at it again soon.

I'll practice a bit more before I take any of the new characters online - some of those matches were pretty embarrassing ^^;

*Still chuckling at grabbity squeez*

For all practical purposes, AE doesn't exist for arcades either.

This'll never happen.

Oh, what? What's happening?

At most, there might be chocolate side tournaments at majors while strawberry is still being run.

That's great, the more gaffers in the lobby the merrier. Haha yeah he's baffled at how he could miss the "e" in the end of "squeeze".

On another note.

What is Yangs "essence" of play? Is it footsies and then link into mantis? I know that might be over simplifying it but what else is there?

Pretty much.

I'm certain it's only been because I've been fighting shitty players, but Hawk doesn't seem to have much to worry about from the twins. I don't want to sound overly cocky, but I'd like to get proven wrong.

I got the CEO/Revelations thread.

Endless tonight. People should stop hitting up ranked and training mode. Just jump into the battlefield. That's how we do it.

I would have jumped in if you were on last night. I need it. If I'm gonna lose, especially learning new characters, I'd rather do it to Gaffers. I will lose so effing much, just you wait.

Dang it, I'm slowly but steadily getting grasp of yang but there's still one thing I can't do well at all and that's his :

fierce mantis x2 FADC cl.mk launcher.

The timings feel really stritct and I can only do it 1/3rd of the time in training nonetheless. Any ideas?
