how limited is the limited edition, I'm wondering if I should plunk down the pre order or will it be available en mass like 99.9% of all CE games

I usually advise new comers to main a shoto for a bit while dabbling in the rest of the cast. Picking Bison when you're just learning the game isn't going to make you any better than if you pick a shoto. Most people don't play fighting games seriously, so I say go with whichever character you find the most fun. Shoto or not.

Yeah
I've been doing the same.
I don't know if They'd bring back Q thanks to Boxer and SF4 already has a few grapplers diminishing Hugo's chances.
Realistically, if there was a revision were to happen, I could see Ibuki, Urien, and Makoto working. But then again Seth might = no Urien
Are you on 2DF?
True...most players are going to just mash buttons anyhow. I have a friend you only uses fierce buttons the entire time. the point of a game is to have fun...most people dont care about range/zoning or 'why the character is there' just that they like the character and have fun playing as him.GalacticAE said:

I don't think so. People who just mash are people who aren't really interested in the game but just play a pickup game at their friend's house or at an arcade. I played a lot of Tekken DR and some SC4 online and I never encountered a single button masher. People who play online take the game semi-seriously even if it just means having a moves list in front of them and trying to pull off moves here and there.

Most people will stick to shotos, I've been playing SF for years, and it wasn't until 3rd Strike that I seriously took up a non shoto or shoto clone.
But for SF4 I'll be sticking with the shotos until I learn the mechanics, then probably branch out to Chunners because her footsie game supposed to be crazy, and Fei Long.

They need to bring back Q. He's the coolest. But is his playstyle really similar to Boxer's? I'm sincerely asking, not trying to correct you. He's my favorite guy in 3S but I have no clue how to play him. Or how to play 3S. And I never really played as Balrog. I just assumed he was similar to Dudley cuz they're both boxers._dementia said:
Aside from the dashing punch, I see zero similarity between Q and Boxer. If anything, I'd say Honda is Q's closest relative; they share the basic properties of a screen-spanning dash move, an in-close grapple move, and a close-range multihit move. Boxer does, however, pretty much guarantee no Dudley._dementia said:
Regarding Hugo, if there's room for 6 shotos, there's room for 4 grapple characters.
Bleh, never really been a fan of Urien... Actually I'd say he's more analogous to Boxer than Q, as well, projectiles notwithstanding.Realistically, if there was a revision were to happen, I could see Ibuki, Urien, and Makoto working. But then again Seth might = no Urien
Nah, my computer is doodoo butts and I don't have a decent stick yet anyway. I'm just messing around with the Anniversary Collection version.
I use the term lightly...mash = no real strategy (to me). And I have played every fighter online and seen great players average players and scrubs. Your great players know strategies and are familiar with all the characters and can execute. Average players know the moves for most players and can execute most of the time, but really dont have a strategy other then try and hit you with a 'special move'. Scrubs try to play like the average player but fail to execute most of the time. Obviously there are levels within the levels. I look forward to playing the high level great players and high level average players, but no desire to play scrubs.akachan ningen said:

Oh, Dudley and Balrog are totally different.Rummy Bunnz said:
Q is less similar to 'Rog than I let on. There is and extreme emphasis on Q's command grab and his taunt buff when playing him. The two only share the same dash punch command and similar looking super arts.
I like Q a lot but it wouldn't surprise me if he's Capcom's least popular SF character. I doubt he's make a comeback.
Story reasons; doesn't Seth link with the Illuminati Gill/Urien stuff?Caj814 said:

I want Dudley, Makoto, Ibuki and Elena but we know this wont happen
Nah, I know they're worlds apart moveset-wise. I'm just extremely skeptical that they'd put in 2 fighters that are so thematically similar. Shotos are the only ones that get that priveledge, unfortunately.ShinAmano said:Funny your first comparison and then saying no Dudley...becasue you know Boxer and Dudley play the same

Dudley is a British Gentleman.
Boxer is an American Brawler.
You can't get more contrast than that.

My skin crawls every time I see the word "scrubs." Is it just me?
I've been in the thread ever since I got linked here without realizing that it was stickied, then unstuck...
Good job with the thread guys - the hype is definitely going strong, and it makes the wait a killer one...
And the TE Stick's box looks hot - can't wait till I get it!
I knew the arcade version had aliasing, but I had no idea that the 360 version actually improved above that, plus keeps it 720p at all times - good stuff!
And thanks for the 60fps HD vids! Finally I get to see it running at its proper framerate, I was thinking the whole time that I'd have to wait till I actually had the game before I'd get that privilege...

They put Rose in! Did anyone really love her? So there's always hope! Plus he was in SF2! Now that they've run out of playable SF2 characters they can add background dudes. C'monnn Q and Crotchlump._dementia said:

Haha I love that. It's like Capcom went back and based Q and his story of traveling the world collecting fighter's data around a random creepy spectator in HFRummy Bunnz said:

ordered the ps3 ryu pad too hope its a good pad.
hope its a good pad.rocK` said:
Ryu and Ken play a lot differently in this game overall. Id say its a good idea to pick up Ryu at first because he can utilize every aspect of the gameplay system in a much more strait forward manner than the other two. Once people understand the gameplay system then they should move onto other characters I think.

Derp, ignore me, I didn't see the first batch :lol
Awesomethankyou :3
I dunno about that. From what I've heard, Dudley actually won the very first "Who should be in SFIV?" poll on Capcom's site... Capcom then deleted all record of this poll and pretended it never happened. There seems to be some sort of internal agenda against SFIII, it's baffling.jon bones said:
