So you didn't preorder and now your whining?

Too bad.

Half the shipment came in early enough for them to get it to preorder customers only. Makes perfect sense. Pick it up tomorrow.

This. I can use whatever I want. :D

Also, there has to be a way to disable voice chat in-game. You can do so via a few settings on XBL, but no such option on the PS3. :(

So now there's more American players online. Had a few more decent-good matches (finally lost some BP!), but it's still 98% shotoscrub, only now with guys on mics going either "HELLO? HELLO! HELLO?! CAN U HEAR ME HELLO?!?!" or just endless cursing like "WHAT THE FUCK FUCK FUCK SHIT WHAT HOW'D YOU DO DAT BULLSHIT FUCK," etc.

I was thinking about making this my XBL Profile. What do you think, guys?

Some free advice for new players.

-PLEASE try someone OTHER than Ryu, Ken, or Akuma.
-PLEASE try do SPECIAL MOVES. Endless sweeps and jumpkicks are not going to get you very far.
-LEARN to BLOCK. You just hold back!
-NO, I'm not cheating when I use focus attacks.
-YES, I'm going to throw your ass every chance I get, especially if you never counter and just let me keep doing it to you OVER AND OVER AGAIN.
-YES, I CAN hear you, but I am not using a mic.
-MAYBE you should go back to CoD4, Madden, or whatever if this upsets you.

I mean damn, it wasn't think bad in HD Remix, and going back it wasn't this bad with other Capcom online games either. Maybe it's just that more popular than the others were?

You know you want to trash talk people who you'll never see in real life. Do it.

Don't call companies "Cheap asses" because you didn't preorder..

Hell you can even preorder online and do in-store pickup at GameStop.

I'm glad we've cleared up the voice chat situation on the PS3. However, unlike most games, there is no mention of it on the back of the box in the PSN network features, which is a bit odd. Or have we really turned that corner where it's just expected for all new titles? That would be nice........

Also, it looks like the inside cover art is different than the one posted a few pages back for the 360. The PS3 has more characters it looks like. C. Viper front and center!!!

Do tell me more about the conveniences offered by such a benevolent company. Never mind, not the time or place for a Gamestop policy debate.

lol, not to be a dick but half the time the 'we only have enough for the pre-order' is a ploy just to give an imaginary benefit to letting them count the sale on the register earlier then usual. No need to play holier then thou.

Back to the talk on the game itself ;)

We played 18 times. He won 10 and I won 8 :-/ And the thing is that I'm 99% on offense. That gives my opponent time to pick up on....whatever it is I do :lol He always got a D whenever he won and I always got an A

I was bummed that my Saturn USB pad hadn't shown up in today's mail. Well while I was in the shower, a separate USPS mailman showed up with another delivery. I noticed the package as I walked into my room, and immediately tore it open. Now I really can't wait till I can play this again late tonight, I got my Saturn pad! :D

It feels really nice, though the usb cord length is really short. Any recommendations for an extension? Will any usb extension work, or do some have lag?

I love how the 360's Brawler Costume Pack redeem-card tells you to "Check the Playstation®Network often for more Alternate Costume packs to be released soon."

Will do, Capcom.

the most dangerous part of fighting shoto scrubs is when you actually meet a good shoto player... it's like night and day

fight 10 bad shotos.... then meet 1 good one and get completely throw off guard in round 1... then in round 2 you go '' okay, I will take you seriously LOL''

Anyone ever tried just doing a whole different gameplan or seriously limit your special moves on the 2nd round against scrotos?

Basically forcing yourself to develop a new strat?

The thing is alot of stores that got the "Same Day Shipping" (Game ships on 3/17) only received enough to cover preorders with the rest arriving tomorrow.

I agree.. that ploy they usually spill is annoying but for today.. alot of those stores are actually affected by that and they just don't want to create Cust service issues on their own end.

Some stores did get more then reserves but not all... They aren't "Cheapasses" because of what some of those stores are doing. They are doing it to not create an issue later on.

On Sagat players I literally burn the time.. same thing on Gief players.. I hop around avoiding and I can stay safe while wearing them down a little... You can just feel their annoyance through the screen.

As for Ken/Ryu shoto players.. It varies. I'm noticing they just randomly pull up DP's and wakeups because they freak out if they fall on the ground.

HELP ME, OBI-WAN KENOBI (Er, that is to say, SFIV Gaf)!

I'm a total scrub / noob / what have you to the world of streetfighter, but I'm reasonably proficient with other fighters, such as the Soul Calibur series.

I am in love with every single aspect of this game except its controls. I just suck. I just cannot bloody perform any move with any sort of consistency in this game, using the DualShock 3. For example, I find it almost impossible to do a Hadouken with the D-Pad. I just cannot do it consistently. Maybe one in every four attempts. What the hell? The circlular motion just won't register at all.

With the analgoue stick, I fare slightly better, but everything feels so imprecise. I have practised, practised and practised, but I just can't do it. Is there any pro-tip for using the DualShock 3 which might make it easier? Or do people just use the analogue stick?

I want to love this game so badly, but I'm just not good enough...I feel terrible at it, which is something I seldom feel when playing a game...

Advice, per favor?

So how are the opponents on ranked today? Last night I kept fighting people with 200 or below BP's and it was pretty slow gain for me.

Then I'd lose once in a while and I'd lose everything I earned the 30 mins prior.. :lol

I'm currently at around 1400 Battle Points.

Sorry for the noob question, but I'm trying to learn and I keep seeing this complaint voiced over and over- how exactly does one protect themselves against throws? People are saying they'll just keep doing it against me over and over until I stop leaving myself open but I don't even know what open is. :lol (I know in SCIV guarding high lead for extended periods would get you thrown but I'm just not that familiar with SF)

Wow, I'm surprised that won. I guess good artists don't care that much about Street Fighter. His implementation of the inkblots is pretty good, I suppose.

Really you just have to not let them get close, which is how throw setups are done.

Personally, when I think someone is close enough to grab me (when I'm not ready to grab them) I just jump out of the way or launch a projectile. With Guile, I usually tell them to GTFO with a flashkick to the chin.
