Just got it today - no Arcade Stick yet, though. And I agree - first impressions are very, very lovely. The presentation is top notch, the gameplay is pure SF gold, and the music is - well - passable. 
Can't wait to get my hands on the arcade stick, though. I'm gonna be a bit gimped 'til then.

Got the female costume pack yesterday and it looks like it was just a key to unlock content on a dvd that I already own? I know this probably has been argued to death already on this thread but it's a surprise to me. I did like that all the colors were available to you for that alternate costume, very nice.

Aw man, I got to 176BP and now I've lost ALL OF IT.
Can someone please tell me how to get out of being constantly shoryuken'd/leg swiped after being backed into a corner?

I really need to get the timing down on that combination. EX Shinkyaku > mid air Sakura Otoshi.. really awesome if you manage to pull if off.
Just a heads up I was checking random stuff on eBay and stumbled on these:
Street Fighter Custom paint Machines from the Launch Party
The link will take you to one of them...but has all the others there as well...bidding starts at $650 and FREE shipping in the US!
And you get a Free Chun Li figurine.

A very fun SF with requisite layers of depth but too sluggish for my tastes overall. Backgrounds mostly kinda suck too. Still gonna play the shit out of it though.

When I first got the game, I picked Abel and played through a match or two before I slammed right into C. Viper. I have never been so angry at a game before.
Over the last two days, I'd been just messing around in training with Abel's combos. This, for hours on end, got a bit boring, so I decided to head back to arcade mode. My first three fights went as smoothly as they should. Then Viper showed up again. I almost quit out, just to prevent the inevitable frustration, but I thought, "Hey, I haven't played her since our first encounter." And then I sent her flying like a baby through a windshield. First round perfect, and turned the second around with an ultra. It was the most rewarding videogame experience ever.

Least risky would just be to throw when they land from the SRK (assuming you have blocked it).

Overall I agree, I think this game in one aspect has the best online of all time since I thought it would be impossible for me to eve replay a Street Fighter game without lag. That is a tremendous achievement that cant be overlooked, better lobby options would be nice though, but at least they got the most important part right.
As far as the lack of new characters, while I support the new rather than the old in theory, I understand it here. This wasn't so much a sequel as much as it was reintroducing the brand to the world, so the return of the classics makes sense to me. Capcom went all new with SF III and got burned for it, so they went with an approach more similar to the alpha games in terms of character selection (mostly old characters,. some regurgitated, some new)
My biggest complaint is the music selection, I wish I had the option to choose what music plays when since its nigh impossible to hear a characters theme in versus, you always get the stages theme instead.
Amazing game though, I can tell its going to become my most played SF. Looking forward to the revisions and the rebirth of the Capcom Fighter Machine

Same. I did find it odd that I had to go search for it, though. Had it not been for GAF, I don't think it would have occurred to me that there was an install.
I chose STABILITY just now. I just got fucking prison shower ass raped. My ass is cavernous hole of flesh, spewing a torrent of blood right now.....Ugghh....
Dude had like 1700 BP. That Ken was pulling of some crazy ass shit:
Air tatsu -> M SRK -> H SRK
O____O
I put my controller down and just let him win half way through the third round.

That's true, backgrounds are mostly lame, aside from crowded downtown. Sure a lot of them have "funny" details if you pay attention but how often does that happen. Capcom for SF4:CE (and there will be one) redo a lot of these please.

It's my favorite traditional fighting game since Alpha 2, and naturally it's a much more balanced game than that one. Hard to compare the non-traditional ones that I've enjoyed (Smash, No Mercy/DJFFNY, KOCII/Fire Pro) so I won't try. One of the few games this gen I feel is really worth $60.

This is one hack I'm certain we'll be able to retrofit into the PC version one way or another, because I completely agree.

Block and punish SRKs. New Ken players love the Fierce SRK. Just block, walk up to where they'll land and throw. They're still cooling down so they can't tech out of it.Baloonatic said:
Top 20 Power Players from VersusCity
Check it out, it has the top rankings in Japan right now and guess what? Daigo's still at t he top. :lol
Even better, there is a list on the same page with longest win streaks... you have to take a look, if you think that 108 wins by that dude in the UK was a lot, the Japanese win streaks will blow your mind.. and thats against uhh.. real competition.

I got my first one last night too, it was pretty awesome.
Funny thing is I went thru like 20 matches using all different characters but then I switch to blanka (my main back in the day) I get a win

Fucking finally.
Finally I am decent at anti airs and have been punishing scrubs online. After getting my ass kicked over and over by nothing but jump kicks and fireball/dragon punch spam it feels so rewarding. Holy shit, I aced Akuma, Ken, Ryu, Sagat, and others (Cammy/Rufus) who did nothing but heavy jump kicks. In many of my matches I did nothing but anti air as they repeatedly jumped into me, never learning, just hoping I'd miss the timing and they could hit me.
Once you can keep people off you, Dhalsim becomes soooooo fun. You can land HP, MK at will and tear them up with yoga fires,teleport/B-HP.
I'm not scrub proof yet, but I'm finally beating these guys consistently and its soooo rewarding.

Oh yeah, its my fave SF ever and its up there with VF5/SSII as my fave fighter ever.

-PXG- said:
Okay then that didn't work. The system must be adjusting the players now that the break-in period is over. Very well.
A FOOLPROOF WAY of getting the low BP players you want is to pick matches that are set at 1 round instead of 3 or 5. They're full of people doing the same moves trying to pad their BP totals. Teach them a lesson. You'll have to go into custom games for it to get a better chance of picking the 1 rounders.

I was counting gouken. I wasn't coutning Seth. No one counts Seth.
I really didn't mean that they should have taken out the older characters. I just think they could have come up with more new characters. Brand new characters. I can understand the rebranding of the series or what have you (rebranding with "IV" in the title is odd to me though, but that's okay), but some more would have been appreciated. Hopefully more show up in later iterations.
I didn't want to mention stages/music since everyone groans when I do...but yes. They're pretty bland for the most part and the weak number of them is pathetic. Again, hoping for improvement going forward.

It works great for Street Fighter, I mean hell, nobody knew SF I, the franchise was "introduced" to the world with SF II

i wonder if i'm one of the few guys here who actually played the SF1 arcade machine before SFII came out. i thought the ninja was so cool when i was a kid, hehe.

Ultras are meant to be combo-ed into. I shake my head when Kens and Ryus do random ultras out of nowhere. On the other hand, my jumping mp x2 -> ultra as Ryu will own you for free.

Makes it all the more confusing to me why they choose to bring back characters from that game and pretty much completely ignore SF3 for playable characters. :lol
