I think Viper looks fine personally, but Sakura looks a little too beefy imo. Sakura shouldn't have Chun Li legs.

My wife commented last night that Chun Li's legs looked "ridiculous" and "disgusting." :lol

I love how Sakura's celebration animation was specificially made to almost get an upshirt when she jumps as well as flashing her panties like 24/7.

Talk about fan service :lol

The shotos would be Ryu, Ken, Akuma, Sagat, Sakura, and Gouken, correct?

My friend and his GF were over and my friend insisted that I play HDR. His girlfriend made similar comments about Chun.

They are! but I can't stop staring at them :lol


C.Viper has the best midriff I've seen. I love the "very slight belly" look.

I just played a few matches over xbl. The lag was consitantly bad and the act of going in and out of matches is sluggish (room is full, find another). I couldn't get into a game that didn't have red latency. So far I'm really disappointed with the online portion of this game. It seemed as though the first rounds were a laggy mess, and then the second rounds would result in a playable game. Bah.
 
I really want to play more Street Fighter, but it's going to be another 8 hours before I get home. Ah well, such is life.

And on Viper, I think it's her stance that makes her look odd.

C.Viper is tight....from the neck down. Well, okay. From the forehead down. The hair is just...too WTF for me.

I kind of agree with her. She looks like she's been injecting cattle growth hormones directly into her thighs this time around. Do not want.

It's not the game, it's you!

Well...I had maybe 1 problem last night out of dozens of online matches, so yeah, I'd say it's more your issue than the games.

for those having problems with online. Try playing Arcade with interuptions On. I was in a new fight within 30 seconds of ending one. Never waitied to play ever. Never had any online lag.

I like Viper aside from her Lost Odyssey dude hair.

Is not playing with a mic really that offensive?

I played a few matches online last night, and no less than 3 people complained that I wasn't using a mic.

I HATE using a mic during non-tactical online play, and I doubt they want to hear me swearing up a storm every time they connect.

What say you, GAF?

jon bones said:
mic for a fighting game with randoms? no thanks.

PhatSaqs said:
I never use a mic in fighting games. What the hell is anyone expecting to hear other than the sound of buttons being smacked and a laugh or two.

Speaking of laughter, I almost cried in laughter after catching A_Rivals Seth with an Ultra Demon. That shit did about 90% :lol.

I then burst into real tears after him spanking my ass again for about the 10th time. Certainly dont want anyone to hear that :p

RubxQub said:
Mics certainly aren't needed for this game, but are fun when you find someone who has one that enjoys the game and doesn't take it too seriously.

I love it when I get another mic user and the two of us are going nuts when either of us does something awesome.

you guys must have never played at an arcade or something. street fighter is all about trash talking. i was playing this dude yesterday, able vs bison and we was talking all kinda shit to each other. reminded me when i was 10
 
special move execution as alot loser and has a wider window of forgiveness.

It's not me. I play tons of online games with a consistantly low ping (CS:S, GTA4, etc.). Maybe its a geographical thing since maybe not too many people are playing within my region (Canada)?

I hope I'm right.

Amen, brother. Trash talking is both an art and a weapon. I wouldn't want to play a fighting game without it.

yeah, exactly why I don't use a Mic. I don't need to be trash talked by a bunch of 10 year olds, and twenty something acting like 10 year olds. When I play online with strangers, it makes me sad for America.

If anyone is in the Indianapolis area, the Best Buy in Greenwood has PS3 and 360 copies on the shelf.

By the way, I'm playing with the Hori EX stick for 360 and I really like it but I would also like to get the TE stick since I'll be having a few friends over from time to time. Any good place to pre-order one that will ship out soon or is everyone sold out?

lol i was 10, i lost a lot (was decent though for my age) but i still talked trash. maybe it's a ny thing cause everyone on my friends list from ny that i play we just talk mad shit to each other no matter how good or bad we are.

Amongst friends is one thing, but I would never do it to random folks I play online.

You made it sound like you play the game against some random stranger and start telling him how shitty his game is or something :lol

pretty much sold out. there's supposedly a second batch in April (email from Capcom for preorders).

No but I am at my parent's house (reading week - maybe someone in my family is). I doubt it though since my connection is flawless otherwise. I'm banking on it being early in the day and that there aren't that many people playing within my area.

You never go straight for the big stuff. There is plenty of time to tell them how shitty their game is after they lose the match. :p

Maybe if you were an artist you would understand why Blanka's looks is no good. Its just hard to explain to non-artists.

:p

I dont think talking in itself is the problem necessarily. Its more so the quality of the average individual on XBL and to a lesser extent PSN. Racism, ignorance and just plain annoying assholes. No thanks. (Im talking about playing with randoms. )

In the arcade theres certain things no one would dare to say, least not without getting their block knocked off. The safety of the internet makes everyone bold.

when i was a kid :)

seriously. like, do people play with their friends or what? when my friends get together to play fighters, it is a constant curse and yell fest.

Talking trash at the arcade is different because there's a regulator called a punch in the face (or, more generally, just being next to the person you are playing). Not so much online. And quite frankly, getting told your game sucks after losing a match is the least of what one hears on XBL on a daily basis. Quite frankly I'd rather just play it safe and turn off the mic.

BTW guys, since I don't play my 360 that much, how do you install games now? I'm probably missing the obvious option but where is it?

Amongst friends, of course.

But I was commenting on playing with random folks online, not friends. I'd even feel weird trash talking GAF folks unless it was someone I played regularly with.
