That's because the command input windows are much more lenient in SFIVJtrizzy said:

Comes out on Friday here and I'm tempted to get it because SFII was never out of my SNES when I was younger, but is it completely unplayable with the normal 360 controller?

Yeah, but for some reason I had gotten it in my head that chip damage wouldn't lead to death. Not sure why since HD Remix isn't that way..._dementia said:
Losing to a really good Zangief solidifies why I hate that fucker :lol I'm always mystified by how large his grabbing range is. Thank God that he's so slow that when he's doing a super, you can just jump out of the way.
Capcom should edit all of Zangief's moves so whenever he goes to grab you, a message would pop up that would say, "IF you were HERE, he could still grab you!"

Oh man - I just went to go pick one up and they only had 2 PS3 CEs... the one that I bought, and the one that someone had preordered. I asked if they had multiples because my friends are having a hard time locating a PS3 CE... no luck. Maybe it's because it's not a very high-traffic BBY.

I'd love to use Gief but his moves seem like they require a stick.

Is it just me, or does DIMPS have a thing for creating (or co-creating) mothers with neck ties?
Neck ties. They're not just for men anymore.:lol

I personally love the soundtrack of 4 - especially the remixed versions of classic SF tunes. I like the announcer of 3S more, though.... I still have "yeah, that makes sense!" stuck in my head to this day.
This game creates friction between friends...
I kept losing online and I was in a private chat with my buddy. He was winning a lot with zangief. I was telling him that if he was playing the people I was playing he'd be losing too. He didn't agree so I invited him to a player match. I basically zoned him the whole game with sagat.
He got mad and pulled out the old "WOW GRATS DOING ONE MOVE YOUR BUTTHURT YOU CAN'T WIN ONLINE." That lead me to say "NO BUT YOUR BUTT WAS HURT AFTER THAT FUCK YOU"
I haven't talked to him since...

Can you only do the super special move when it's filled up all the way?
All I have is the standard wired pad and I can get to Seth on Normal with Ryu/Ken and bring him down to a sliver. Will try online tonight. Some things are easier than others and I know a pad with 6 face buttons would be much better.Baloonatic said:
Note that I used the screwdriver method to improve the d-pad.

It's still too early for definitive statements especially in regards to the intricacies of FACD and the combos possible from it. For myself, I can only say that pure 2D is still where it's at.

At what point does Capcom stop doing this do you think? I ask because 3rd Strike was also very lenient, esp. with charging.

I guess they have this mistaken belief that if they slop it up enough then "casuals" will go back to the game and keep it humming. The thing is, once people start mastering FADC and such, button mashers will be scared away just as they were for parries. Maybe SF4 will teach them this.

I recall Ono saying he studied the SNES version of WW to figure out what made it so popular and he discovered that the inputs were made a lot easier as opposed to the arcade. So the home version of SF 4 actually has bigger windows then the arcade.

played some fun matches against dfyb
gief continues to scare me in every game he's in
I find I use focus attacks... never. I think most people just aren't used to using them yet. No one I've played online uses them either. In about 10 matches maybe someone will throw one out, and then you can tell the other person is all like, "oh yeah, I can do that." and then you'll both use it a few times and then give up and never use it for the rest of the matches.
I feel like I need just one more face button on the dual shock controller to be dedicated to focus attack.

his lariats have been buffed up. he's coming down in the tiers though -- people are learning to adapt against him. but sagat's still sitting pretty at the top.PhatSaqs said:

Is it that big a deal? The differences between players in a game like Street Fighter IV should ideally have a lot more to do with tactics and timing, as well as matchups, rather than pure dexterity. That's why the best SF matches are between people who can pull off moves without worrying that they'll screw up the command, which also has the effect of giving them a much more versatile toolset to work with.
Widen the input windows and that's no longer as much of an obstacle to newcomers and even some veterans, particularly without a stick, and players can concentrate more on when and where to pull off a certain move rather than wondering if they'll pull it off at all.

They can't widen the inputs too much, or a Hadoken will come out every time you've ducked the last few minutes and then walk forward and punch.
I've had my first few online battles, first a couple of player matches where I was evenly matched and then a bunch of ranked while unlocking the rest of the characters. I'm picking Fei-Long since I'm good enough with him, don't want to be a Ken scrub and since people don't seem to know his game yet. Chicken Wing gets them every time.
Unlocked Dan now though, so he'll be next!
