Ok, I think you guys changed my mind about buying the CE :\ not sure I want it now.

Are you going to the SFIV tourney at people's plaza gamestop on saturday?
Probably not, I learned my lesson when I was competing at a Gears of War tournament there and I'm actually good at that game. I'm getting my copy from the GameStop at Suburban Plaza (the one by Acme) since I'm in the University of Delaware region of Newark.

Yeah, I live on the campus actually. What was your lesson? This is the first tourney i'll be going to and I have no idea what to expect.

I live on Corbit St, off of New London. It'd be hilarious if you were secretly my roommate or something.

Also, me and my friends who are pretty damn good at Gears got eliminated by a bunch of 12-13 year old wearing Bengals jerseys. Fucking depressing.
 
The wal-marts in Vegas are selling them at midnight (12:01) I just called and triple confirmed with a person who actually did know what the fuck I was talking about.

It's a longshot, but I think I am going to the one here. In the past I've gotten quite a few big games at midnight (MGS4, Fable II), and if they actually have the game already and can find it, I think they will sell it to me. The problem most of the time is getting whoever is in electronics to undertsand what the hell you're talking about. Sometimes it will be a game-savvy person, but most of the time it's a 70-year old woman or something.

People will be cheap and do anything to win... Just expect that... Also some players will be really good and some will be really bad...

Man, I am having some second thoughts about that CE. That damn Viper figurine is like the size of an army man! Looks like its regular edition for me.

Soooo the bulb in my TV burned out thanks to incompetent roommates, and I won't be able to use the TV (and therefore play SF4) til the 25th at the earliest.

Fuck.

Haha, holy shit at Viper's strats - that's probably the character with the longest write-up in the guide, haunts. :lol

She literally is for those who want a highly technical and highly rewarding character.

Shes the shit though.. she is really frustrating sometimes but when you have a good match with her and land all the combos its extrmley satisfying. The only reason I feel im able to play her at all is that I played Makoto so much and she had that EX Axe Kick that you had to perform the same way you perform a lot of C. Vipers shit.. You just have to have real good execution to play Viper, and mine is mediocre at best so thats why its annoying sometimes.. :lol

My most important question is this: is there a rendition of Guile's SFII music in this? And is it excellent? That is all.

Does anyone know if the SF4 theme(*not* that stupid song) is a remix of an older theme?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oqnhhtPNw1c&fmt=18

It sounds so familiar to me.

Dont think it is, only other place i've heard it was in one of the trailers (I think).

However I do propose that whenever we get around to GAF SFIV tournaments, Volcano rim will always be the stage for the match that decides the champ.

Me too, actually. I'm in Newark and they said the same thing.


Oh and i'm sorry if this has already been posted but, here's the official description for SFIV from the gamestop.com home page :lol
The managers at those stores must be going to grab it early or something because my local store told me Wednesday even though I told them I have a preorder. I'm up in New Hampshire. :(

Maybe I'll be annoying and call to check before I leave work tomorrow, but I've more or less accepted I won't have it until Wednesday.

Fuck, either my Gamestop is too lazy to call, or I will be getting the game Wed. :(

Has this been confirmed? I thought the full pack was confirmed for Japan only.

Hmm maybe you just heard it a bit in some of the trailers and forgot about it *shrugs*

That's it probably, I've watched some of those trailers so many times the music is stuck in my brain. :p Really like that tune though...

Awwwesome. Also, thanks.

Edit: My roommate and I just nerdgasm'd at this.

All the SFIV'ified classic themes sound great so far, and i'm hoping there is a way to hear them in normal versus besides coming up against the character's rival.
