I guess it's just my personality, but when playing with randoms I'm a super friendly person. I congratulate them when they own me in flashy ways and I tell them "good game" if I win. Admit when I got lucky and am humble when I execute well.
Playing with folks online for me is a much more calming experience than playing with friends, as I must win at all costs :lol

Does installing change much with SF4?
Volcynika said:I can mic chat with anyone from GAF, it's just most of the time you won't hear much from me, since I'm not used to playing fighting games online with voice chat. But the things I do say will be just short rather than constant trash talking!
it's fun to chat but i dont understand the trash talking either.

Last evening, Gamestop @ 14th Union Square had a big-ass line waiting outside the store for the shipment to come in. Shit was like a movie premiere. Luckily they had enough 360 copies that I could go inside and pre-purchase it and then wait in line with my receipt.
When the DHL guy finally showed, everyone cheered and there were even a couple of "Hadoken!" shouts for good measure. Geek City total.
I only got to play for about 2 hours last night and went straight online where my Abel was pummeled by an orgy of Ryu and Ken. Think I had 1 win maybe. It wasn't so much that I didn't know Abel--he's basic enough really--but I had a hell of a time getting used to the almost methodical speed of movement. Everything just felt sluggish compared to classic 2D SF and it totally threw off all my normal timing. A good example is my sad attempts at landing meaty sweeps on opponent wake-up--I kept missing it over and over and would instead eat Shoryukens. Basic shit like that. This isn't really a fault of course but other than that my only "complaints" are:
Way too much shit on the screen. Did they really have to make the Ultra/Revenge gauge shoot out giant, doofy flames?? It wasn't enough to just glow red? This kinda leads into:
Special effects--I mostly love 'em but I'd like to actually see more of what's going on up close and personal. I felt like Capcom's approaching Tekken territory with all the big flashes and pretty lights. It would have been cool if their was an option to tune them down.
Backgrounds--mostly great but some are definitely lacking. Not a big deal really but it's probably a combo of bad art/ugliness (Diner) and sparseness (ship). I also didn't appreciate clipping through the wing of that jet (the one that rolls out and looks great) on what assume is Guile's stage but my annoyance was probably more because I was shoryuken'ed through it to lose a match. ;-)
Hmm. What else to bitch about. English voices suck ass mostly. Back on Japanese with the quickness--I thought there was an option to choose language fighter by fighter which would have been awesome.
That's pretty much it. Abel is the shit. He reminds me a lot of Alex both in stature and because of his command throw. Music is great. Playing single-player Arcade with the option to have peeps challenge you really is the most genius thing I've seen done with an online component. Just an incredibly polished product, really.

Go through arcade made without using a continue after you've unlocked all of the other characters that you can, and win twice with perfects and twice with ultimates (more if you'd like, but at least 2).Grifter said:
When you beat Seth, you'll fight Akuma.
Easy to do if you set the game to Easiest.

Once you beat the game once, you can customize the voice acting.bob_arctor said:

Unlocked all my characters on Easiest with 1 stock.
You can simply hadouken everyone to death to get your perfects and it's very easy to widdle them down to nothing, let them beat on you and then ultimate them to finish them off to unlock Akuma and Gouken.
Think I'm gonna main Sagat, he seems the character I'm most consistent at winning with... C Viper is also really fun to play. Everyone online I've fought just uses Ryu and Ken, with one C Viper who spammed her qcb+p move. Haven't been doing so hot online... I need the pad bad, gonna check if the stores have them today.
i picked it up as a impluse buy just because they had them in stock, playing with the ds3 is killing my thumb. haven't gotten online yet cause my cable isn't installed yet (fucking month long wait cause of the huge ice storm that knocked out a lot of cable lines).
I didn't think i would get into a fighting game so much, i've been playing non stop for the last 2 days. I have way too much shit to do for both SF4 and killzone 2 to drop in the same month

Nightz said:Odd request but does anyone who have the PS3 CE NOT want the Ryu figure? I'll take it off your hands. It's the only real thing I wanted from the CE.
If I manage to get the CE, you can have it. I just want the anime on Blu-ray.

Sagat, Ryu, Dictator, Boxer, Gief at the top. Rufus Akuma Blanka etc. mid. Fuerte, Claw, Guile bottom. Something like that.
I think the game is pretty balanced. The majority of characters are either A tier or B tier. Dunno the whole extent yet.
Game is installing (360 version). Can't wait.

Eh, my FightPad's have been dispatched, but not the game itself or the TE stick - and now I notice this on the site I ordered the stick from;
*Please note these Joysticks are in high demand & are on a first come - first served basis and will be sent as soon as stock comes in. Madcatz have informed us they will be sending out stock as and when its ready so please only order if you are prepared to wait.*
:*(
Hopefully I pre-ordered early enough to get one on release, but if not hopefully Madcatz don't keep me waiting too long.
