You guys should know by now how release dates seem to work in north america. The west coast will have the game a day or 2 ahead of schedule, then the east coast gets it day off or day before with any american straglers having the shipment show up before a store closes the day of release followed by the canadians getting it only in cities with US to CAN shipping hubs day off and the rest of canada getting it within 2 days of release.


I fully expect to not be able to buy the game until as late as thursday myself. Shit , some games have been as much as a week late here.

That certainly isn't accurate.

I hope there will be a DLC stage of the classic grassy field from SFA2.

Then you go online and read: "The challenger doesn't have the required dlc stage. Please choose another stage."

I'm more bummed that there are no bonus stages in console versions. Ono said it couldn't be in the arcades as it was not bussines fasible for owners of the arcades, but why not on consoles? Ono didn't say yes or no, but gave me impression that he would like to do it.

DLC beating up a car please!

good to know!

Hopefully they ain't lying. I'm thinking it's going to be Tues afternoon honestly- Monday is a holiday for the postal service.

I want to wake up Tue afternoon (get off work at 8am), get something nice, get some SFIV, and just bunker down to grind unlock stuff.

So jp language options for specific characters arent there from the start?
Technically, no. You can't decide who speaks which language right off the bat, but the option to give everyone (rather than individually) either English or Japanese voice-overs is available as soon as you boot the game.

HOLY cow is Fuerte's English voice bad (and not the good kind of bad)! :lol :lol
A large majority of the English voices are awful. Seth's is basically the only one I'm remotely okay with, and that's only because he's the Crackdown narrator.

EDIT: for the sake of clarification, a lot of the Japanese voices annoy me as well.

edit: probably against TOS
Saw your post pre-edit. Nope, we did not.

I actually prefer Rufus' English voice as I think it fits his character better. :lol

Oh, well that works then. Guess i'll set everyone to JP first, then after beating it, set some to English.

My manager is really hyped about SFIV as well, hoping he goes to pick up the shipment instead of waiting for UPS.

Are all stage dimensions the same? If so, it shouldn't matter what stage you've selected.

I agree with the automobile destruction!

Take that as you will.

I talked to a guy at EB in Toronto and he says he thinks they will actually get their shipment on Tuesday.
 
the lack of Gen footage from streams and etc is increasingly boosting his prospects in my team,
Honda, Bison and Balrog are cement solid in my team no doubt with a dash of Blanka to break the habbits... Gen is going to be my Wild Card, my out-of-the-deck wtf is this Wild-Card

I would assume that it would check the Number of stages each person has and limit selection/random pick to only those in common.

gouken and gen?

maybe i don't even know what i'm talking about :lol
Gouken is anyone's guess, but Gen isn't dead. Akuma defeated Gen, but let him live because he was really sick. That explains Gen looking like a zombie right there.

What about Bison? Isn't Akuma's appearance in Super SF2 Turbo (where he kills Bison before you get to fight him) canon?

Funny thing is i can't win shit with him, won 20 straight with sagat yesterday online.:lol

I'm not good with him either, but saw my friend using him... Wow, I can only imagine when someone puts in the time to get to know him, he'll be scary good.

Gouken is broken. Can't wait till he's banned :D
Im not so sure. He's pretty slow and has no reliable AA. His FA is pretty good tho and he can combo pretty well. Havent run into anyone decent with him yet. Sagat on the other hand.....

It says in the manual that
Shadoloo scientists created a new body for him.

Akuma let gen live because he is really sick.....What an as*****!! Atleast put the guy out of his misery...

Seems to me he wants gen to suffer.

I missed the reservation cutoff for the limited edition. On walmart.com it shows it but not available in store. Would hitting walmart at midnight be a good idea for the LE or are they not getting it at all?

Wat? You think it should be like I'm fighting on guile's stage and the opponent has ryu's in our match? Insanity. Anyway, don't think capcom would let anyone fight on a stage they didn't bought :\.

Btw. Dividing online matchups to those who have such and such dlc content and those who don't never did any good for a game. I remember map packs for resistance, soon it became a wasteland.

Played the 360 online for 3,5hours. Faced off against 4 Sagats, 2Balrog's,1 Chun-Li,1El F, 2 Akuma's,2 Zangief's,2Fei Longs, all the rest were Ken and Ryu.

I didn't notice any lag until i also started up my computer and was downloading some stuff.
And i never challanged anyone, i simply fought in Arcade, never got past the second match, constantly being challenged.

Yeah, i was also thinking Bison.

I think he's an awesome character but he can only be a beast if you master him. He definitely does not play like Ryu or Ken which is a good thing imo.
