Teenage Dudley, a more brash arrogant version of the gentleman we all know and love :D Also, teenage Alex could be possible I guess - no idea how that'd fit into the convoluted SF canon though.

If they did release more characters the ones i'd personally want would include;

Alex
Dee Jay
Dudley
Karin
Yun/Yang

This game needs:

T.Hawk.

Dee Jay.

Alex.

Hugo.

Dudley.

Ibuki.

Birdie.

Pollum.

Skullomania.

That EX guy with the mustache.

C.Jack.

That big blue guy with the thing sticking out of his head.

And 2 new characters.

But either way I fucking love this game,but I hope Street Fighter V doesnt take this long,hopefully out by 2011.

It's not my wishlist just a list that I think would be possible.

ah. I forgot about the timing of this game. more than fair.

speaking of which, maybe it's a bad idea for me to main C. Viper. after all, if she doesn't appear in the SF4 universe after this game, what's the point? Isn't it logical to conclude that unless Street Fighter 5 takes place as another prequel of sorts, she will not be in future games?

They resurrected 4 characters and added a fat guy with a fu man chu and a mexican wrestling chef, while leaving Sakura in a school outfit even though she should be out. There is no SF canon to work around. I'd love to have Dudley, Yun and Yang. And Ibuki.


And Necro and Elena.

No Twelve, please

taking 2-3 minute breaks helps. your brain gets frazzled trying to input commands under pressure. especially the first time.

taking a break resharpens you.

I played this game yesterday at a friend's.

.- Besides elfuerte which moves really fast, it seems like everyone moves at the same speed. WTF at Vega being as slow (or fast) as Zangief. Chun li used to overwhelm everyone with her speed and awesome kicks, she has been turned into a slow tank gorilla.

.- Everyone jumps almost at the same speed and height, bad.

.- It makes no fucking sense to play this game with normal controllers, doing a back-low charge then doing some weird ass X or Z movement ( and sometimes twice!!) in a sixasis or 360 stick or D-pad is a formidable exercise in frustration.

the game looks terrific and it's still fun to play, in spite of the mentioned flaws.

Jump the gun much?

The only SF that takes place after SFIV canonically is SFIII

Would that stop you from learning any SFIV character other than Ken, Ryu, Chun, and Akuma? They're the only ones guaranteed to exist after this game because they're in SFIII.

Plus, shouldn't SFV not be out for another 10 years?

Chun li has one of the fastest walks and dashes in the game. You just need more practice.

Well fought my first disconnecter. Not surprising, he's the worst Ken I've gone up against yet. It was actually pretty amusing fighting him with Rose. Takes a while for them to realize they're just building my bar by throwing fireballs at me.

I dunno. Fei seems faster to me than when I play someone like, say, Sagat.

and Sagat's has to be among the slowest. I never use him but picked him to help a friend learn how to deal with Sagats owning him with tiger's...and he was balls slow. Him and Sim. Good lord.

Nah. Canonically, Sakura and Rose shouldn't be in SFIV either. If C. Viper proves popular, Capcom et al will make room for her.

Also, completely off topic, but your C. Viper avatar totally looks like a female Travis Touchdown.

Okay is it just me or has anyone else NOT seen online players actually using FADC? ...I mean, I as with others, will throw a FA in from time to time to mix it up, but I've yet to see someone go all out with the higher tier technical wizardry.
You guys think it's because it hasn't been out long enough yet stateside or maybe people would rather have their Parries back?

All this talk about adding characters; did Capcom hint that new characters would be added via DLC? I thought they said there would be no additional characters...

I haven't seen any FADC. I don't even see players use it to absorb hits or fireballs, let alone FADC combos.

I assume its because people are like me, able to do some stuff in practice mode, but once you get in a fight with a real person, panic sets in and its OMG button mash time!!

The timing is rather strict...which is not a good look with latency in the equation.

I think it's just a matter of most people don't know about it, wouldn't know how to do it, wouldn't know when to do it, couldn't do it in matches.

There is an IGN video that perfectly explains what it is, how to do it and when to use it, but without seeing that I never would have figured it out. I mean FA and dashing out is one thing, but the context of using an FA to cancel another move dash out and link into another move... well, at this point that's out of most people's hands I would imagine.

I wouldn't say it's button mash time for me. I just haven't personally felt the urge to utilize it =/

Yeah but if you use his Tiger Knee/Kara Tiger Knee to move around he is extremely mobile. You can use EX Tiger Knee to get right up in their face and starts a 50/50 mix up as well. He might as well not even have a walk in this game with all those tools.

^^^ I've been practicing trying to use focus attacks to absorb fireballs but so far its harder than parries :lol

The problem isn't the focus attack, but remembering to cancel it with a dash (which is something I always forget in battle)

Pullum plz.

Not anymore it's back in stock. What's so special about it is it has an anime movie made specifically for the CE.

Edit: PS3 CE is sold out again at Amazon.com. It was available for a few hours this morning. Wow these really are flying off the shelves like hotcakes.

yeah, i went to best buy on saturday and they had a bunch of the 360 RE's and a few of the 360 CE's left but not a ps3 version of the game to be found.

I'd say most people have yet to see it put to good use and don't experiment much so until someone shows them it'll stay that way.

Haunts I sent you a FR on XBL. If the lag isn't too bad maybe you can give me a hint on why my play isn't working right now- though I gave myself a tough road.

Don't do it! Knowing how to use your character is only half the battle. You should be able to get some wins by simply punishing Kens online. Wait for them to jump in and hit them with an anti-air. Get in close and block a shoryuken. Free throw/combo/ultra. You'll be surprised how often you can do that, and you can do that with any character you please.

Haggar should have been in this damn game. He was going to be in Capcom Fighting All Stars which Ono was overseeing so I thought surely he'd be a shoe-in for SF4. I want Haggar vs Zangief sooooo bad. He could be the Ken to Zangief's Ryu. And Zangief's alternate costume doesn't make me happy, it just pisses me off more that he's not in the game.

The stuff he does against Ryu here made me want to main Dhalsim.

Haunts, good info, thanks. I'm trying to get the timing right on my anti airs. If I don't, I can get rushed down by button mashers and its no fun. That strat seems sound against the comp thats out there, I'm going to work on it.

Wow that Dhalsim player is incredible.

SFIV is the most entertaining game to watch when high level players are going at it


EDIT---found this dude playing as c viper, man I need to play like this

Definitely start dashing out of a focus, even with my scrubbyness I find that simply canceling out of focus with a dash is really effective at catching other scrubbies off guard, and I can use it to jump in for a move. My next goal is actually pulling off a FADC combo in a fight... but until I stop mashing my stick like a seizure victim any time someone catches me off guard, its not gonna happen. -_-
