so i was wondering about tier lists for SF4 and i was wondering if anyone could answer my questions:

1. are the tier lists only relevant for amazing players?

2. are the characters being rebalanced for consoles and will they be continued to be rebalanced via patches?

3. is sagat really that beastly?

Ok, this is awesome. I'm really looking forward to see this.

Speaking of Justin, anyone knows podcasts or interviews (except the Gootecks ones) that have him as guest? I really like all the advance tech talk that he does.

1. Even in high level play tiers don't matter that much, I think I saw one of the top Japanese guys that uses Vega

2. No idea, we shall see when the game comes out

3. yup

Yes and no. Yes, because some characters can only be brought to full potential through an amazing player, sometimes no, because sometimes a character's matchups are so bad that it the effect kicks in even in mid-level matches.

Has this happened for any fighting game ever?

It would go a long way toward fighting my distaste for the genre.

Kyle Hebert is doing Ryu. All I hear is Gohan as Ryu now... I mean no disrespect to the English VAs, but I'll just keep the corny fun of the Japanese VAs and their Engrish ways.

I'm going to do the same just with some possible exceptions. I plan on experimenting a little with the voice options.

I probably will just have all "western" characters speaking English, with everyone else speaking Japanese.

Yeah, but which Vega? Bison's near the top. The dudes I usually see dominating the machines here are Sagat and Ryu, but I did see this French dude that was cleaning up with Vega/Balrog/Claw in Tokyo.

You have three levels of Focus. Don't know if that answers your question though

It's a joke. Focus Attacks are called Saving Attacks in Japan.

Shit, I'm starting to think that I might want a fightstick. I never fight with a stick though. I've always been a home console bad type of guy. I wish the cable was longer on my Saturn pad.

I guess I missed the boat with EB if I want to upgrade. If these things ship around the 10th, I'll check some other game stores in my area for them before SFIV release.

It's a pretty stupid reason. The boxer is M. Bison in Japan, an obvious play on Mike Tyson, and Capcom was worried about a law suit from Tyson. So instead of coming up with a different name for him, they shuffled names between Vega, Bison, and Balrog.

Yeah this SF4 hype is getting to me. I don't really even play fighting games but I was just thinking about buy the CE of the game, I'm going to control myself though.

Yeah that was pretty confusing, it's a shame they changed the names.
I still think the name M. Bison is funny :lol

new guys that are planning on playing sf4:

if you plan to play online

-do not pick ryu/ken/akuma, learn to diversify. you will get owned because you have no idea what the other characters can do.
-ryu/ken/akuma are great characters, don't get me wrong...most new people have a horrible idea on how to play them (ie. sweep and fireball and stupid ranges. oh yes, i'm going to punish your sweep, and yes, i will jump in on your poorly placed fireball)

I guess what I'm getting at is, if you want to play these characters, at least understand why they are in the game.

Because they are fantastic starting characters that have great depth? Seriously WTF? Don't play them online because you suck?

WTF dude.

I'm quite hyped for SF4 although I won't be playing against anything other than the CPU for a good while.


Slightly off topic, but can anyone supply me with a link to the SSF2T OST (preferably for the 3D0 version)? I specifically need this Balrog/Boxer remixed theme: http://youtube.com/watch?v=FTGsa8rxsnc

I've got like four OST's and none of them have that version.

Is it just me or does Shin Shoryuken not do very much damage? Especially considering it was used on Akuma.
Click to expand...
Well, akuma had lost alot of health by the time gouken did the shinshoryuken, and iirc once your health is depleated to a certain point attacks do like half the damage they normally do (im sure ill be promptley corrected if this aint right lol). Also gouken is pretty powerful already so it might not be a bad thing if his shinshoryu is weaker than ryus in 3rd strike.
