First time he smacked me into the screen I laughed and thought it was cool. Not so much the second time. Capcom has really perfected cheap ass bosses.

I guess if all goes to plan, tomorrow gives up the DLC and costumes. I wish I could play the 360 version, but it'll have to wait until I can get an arcade stick.

sagat is essentially a shoto... im so tired of that word and associating it with scrubs...

He is THE shoto king. He plays the best zoning game. Hence why you can see him so often in high end play. TIGER! TIGER! TIGER!

The other question is how much it cuts the load times. I hear they are already pretty quick.

I heard the load times are quick no matter if its installed or not. It's just if u wanna hear the jet engine or not :lol

i haven't played without it installed, but basically right after the announcer is done talking in the pre battle screen the match starts. i played some online and the loads were 2-3 seconds longer (if i had to guess). not a huge difference.

I'm getting better with sagat. I'm hovering around 1k battle points.

Although I think this is what my opponents screen looks like just before we fight.

Picked up 2 controllers and the PS3 version tonight.

Been a hardcore SF player since SF2 so I gotta shoot from the hip here...

Graphics? Awesome!
Gameplay? Awesome!
Sound design? Terrible!
Voices? Are you serious? (announcer play by play, Ken's hurricane kick, etc etc etc)
Music? Horrendous!
No custom soundtracks? In this particular case.... uuuuugh...

I never would have imagined that any game's sound would totally ruin it for me, but there it is.

Granted, there are great tracks, but only in Rival Fights, which I can't choose in Vs. mode.

Capcom, what were you thinking?

I REALLY hope they add custom soundtracks in a patch.

Hell, I'd pay good money for it.
Click to expand...

So in 24 hours, since finding out about custom soundtracks and voice changes... SF4 went from one of the biggest frustrations to one of my favorite games of all time.

The gameplay is perfect, the control options are phenomenal, the music is customizable, the online works really well, the roster is totally awesome, the characters seem really balanced...

The only thing that could make this fighting game more perfect is more content, and it's not going to be necessary for a long long time.

Make sure you get a great pad or stick... and it's worth every penny.

Vega isn't as bad as I originally thought. I'm doing quite well with him. His wall dives may not be as fast as ST but the matches are still very winnable. I love the EX version of w/e that move is called where he jumps off the wall and dashes across the screen with his claw. Goes right through fireballs :D. His super is pretty weak but it's FAST and it catches people off guard all the time.

Playing on the ps3. The net play is surprisingly extremely playable vs 3 bar opponents. :D

90% of the players I played online picked Ken. I can't say anything because I play him too. XD

What is the point of purposefully removing your claws and mask as vega? It currently makes no fucking sense whatsoever to me what the purpose of that is.

As long as you arent a spammer, its cool. Most people are just complaining about it not for variety sake, but for spammed attacks sake. Once you come to grips with the fighting system, they are no problem though.

So yeah, picked it up today and I'm having a blast so far. I don't have a lot of time to play with so much school work, but the challenge mode will keep me busy for a real long time.

I'm loving El Fuerte. I was having a lot of trouble with some of his links from jumps, especially j.hp to hk, but I eventually got it. I think maybe you can't do it in the corner or something. It was a couple hours ago and I forget already, but it was tough.

Trying to figure out the one trial objective (normal trial 3) where you do a heavy punch and a heavy special, canceling is involved somehow but I don't know :/

I need to stop playing as Rufus, but I caaaaaaaaaaaann't. :[

I am so frustrated i want to throw my joystick out the window. I feel like im getting better with the stick when im in practice mode. I have that hori soul calibur pad for ps3. But when i go online or play on medium if i get a bit nervous I cant pull off any moves. I cant figure out if its the way i lay my hand on the buttons and how i sit or what. I really need to get pad, i never grew up using a joystick, I keep trying to give it a chance but its so damn frustrating.

It's a taunt. You do that, you're telling the dude on the other side that you don't need no claw to beat his scroto ass.

I want to fucking murder the announcer in this game. He's way beyond annoying. It's like he wanted to 1-up the Waverace 64 announcer in every conceivable way. The only way I could find to turn him off, also turned off character voices, so no "shoryuken" etc.

Are you sure the problem is the joystick? You say you're getting good with it, but it's just performance anxiety. This is my first time using a stick, and I'm loving it. It has added so much to my experience. With less than 2 hours under my belt, I know that I execute every input far more accurately and quickly than I ever could with a pad.
