Damn, you're not making it easy for me
I checked akihabarashop.jp and buying new buttons and joystick for the SE would almost bring it up to the same price as the TE... on top of that I would probably have to pay our 25% sales tax on the goods so it would end up being even MORE expensive. Damn it you shiny TE stick you!

Just get the TE.. if you get it and feel like you want the SE, you could probably sell the TE for more than you bought it for considering how much demand there is for one at this point

 

[TurtleSnatcher]

Hmm, well not sure what district you're in but our district actually has the option to pick them up Monday night or Tuesday morning.

EDIT: Like I said before check with you store. Shipping will be different for different regions of the country.

Its same day shipping so.. Tuesday to some stores. Others will have Weds.

EDIT: I don't work in a district..

 

[MyEpitomeCliché]

I'm really surprised this game is not street-dated, considering how high-profile of a title it is. I've got plenty of distractions until next week (Flower, HotD: Overkill), but damn, the anticipation is like waiting for SF2: Turbo on the SNES all over again.

 

[Lyte Edge]

Just a heads-up for Play-Asia Japanese version orders...mine has changed to "preparing order."

Yes! I haven't been this psyched for a new game release in a long, long time! When I was a kid, I remember my older brother, two of our friends, and I sprinting into the EB at the mall to get SF2 Turbo, and we stayed up all night playing it. I couldn't go to sleep and got back up again to keep playing it. :lol

 

[Skilotonn]

How do you know they will ship the 16th?

Sorry for the late response, but they sent an email starting off saying that they're sorry that there's a delay, then right after it said that they hope to ship around the 16th of February...

And before this email there was no release date, and all it said was that shipping would take 2 to 3 weeks - so I'm guessing that it's not really a delay email, but an actual date change email (to the 16th)...

 

[MarkMan]

You forgot "SSS+: Owns a shadowblade".

I must be SSSS+ because I have both Shadowblades (I bet you didn't know there were more than 1!!!!)

I got one when Guilty Gear X came out on PS2...man, that thing was a piece of crap (the stick, not the game).

I hope it's the same with Buygame2, their price was low, that's why I went with buygame2 instead of play-asia

I'm Canadian, we usually get our US games 1-2 days late (stupid bilingual manual). So an import arriving before the local copy would feel good

Ok thanks! guess next week we'll be getting the game and stick.
I was hoping for an early release, but you can't have it all

Same here, I changed from the Asian version after I heard about the delay. Do you think it'll support English menus?

They said around, and seeing as how some GAFfers already got their sticks shipped to them already, maybe we might get lucky and get it sooner too - I hope so!

mine has been on 'preparing order' since yesterday afternoon

 

[Takuan]

Looking for an answer from MarkMan re: Canadian distribution: I've read EB has exclusive rights to sell all sf4 controllers here.. Is this true?

 

[Bob White]

Regarding PlayAsia, I just ordered the japanese one with the best shipping possible, how soon should I be expecting it?

 

[Kintaro]

Just got the PS3 pad.

 

[Barrett2]

Son of a bitch, Amazon has my Blanka fight pad and my Genesis Collection both delayed one week. This is why I never normally pre-order; what a waste.

-_-

 

[Spiderjericho]

Ooh lord...they got Markman to whip out his e-penis.

Seriously, everyone is win tier for getting excited for the game and hopefully at least 30 percent stick with the community afterward.

And you "only" need 5,000 bp to get a replay uploaded? Does that mean Daigo gets his own server?

Will we be able to play Japan, Europe with this game or will it be region locked?

 

[Loto]

I can't wait for this game, but my biggest dilemma is what system to get it for.

 

[Spiderjericho]

Get it for all three...PC, PS3 and Xbox 360.

Or get it for Live...since the network is pretty rock solid...or get it for PS3 cuz that's what they're supposedly using at Evo.

 

[Guled]

Looking for an answer from MarkMan re: Canadian distribution: I've read EB has exclusive rights to sell all sf4 controllers here.. Is this true?

thats true, don't expect any TE sticks before the middle - end of March. The others will be out at launch but expect them to sell out really fast

 

[Oldschoolgamer]

So awesome.

My mouth dropped when L.I. Joe's special connected at the end.

I'm leaning towards PS3, but you are right about the network for LIVE. I guess there is no real downside to either. Probably whatever system I can find a TE stick for. :lol

 

[Darkman M]

Boxer is a beast!


edit: :lol is dude crying after his loss?

 

[-Mikey-]

So if I were to place an order on play-asia tonight or sometime tomorrow, would the game be in my hands before next Monday or Tuesday?

Good luck on the stick search. It's going to be pretty difficult to find one now a days...especially with the numbers of orders and the limited supply.

I'll say that playing HD Remix on Live has been a little less nerve racking as the PSN. Not to say there aren't issues common to both, but the disconnects occur less on Live.

 

[TurtleSnatcher]

I really dissapointed at the hate that Claw (vega) is getting. Yea he's low tier and has issues with keeping his gear on but if played well he is one of the most tricky to fight against.

I wish there was a more positive mood about him.. There are some good players out there that use him and he is pretty freaking great behind a great player.

I think you are right, maybe I will get lucky and fine one. Thanks for the help.

Do you!! Don't worry about tier lists or general consensus. Though some characters may have more tools than another, it all comes down to player skill and knowing matchups.

I've seen players use Q, Sean, Elena in TS. Daigo has been spotted using Fei Long in Super Turbo. So it's not so bleak. I can't remember which Evo, but I remember spotting a player use 12. Just figure out the matchups and use your character's strengths.

Why be disappointed? Just play him, get good and prove people wrong. The great thing about playing a "low tier" or ignored character is that people have no idea what to expect when fighting against them.

I liked Gooteck's win in round two.

Pad players, how do you play? Thumb or index and middle finger? I'm talking about the way you hit the face buttons btw.

 

[Cynar]

I sent him a pm on it and got nada, so I'm just assuming we're screwed.

Well, my Street Fighter IV Hori Real Arcade Pro 3 finally arrived. I used it in PS3 -with PS2 and BC too- and in PC with MAME (both Windows and MAME recogniced it without drivers). It's pure awesome.

My first great arcade stick. Now let's wait to see the MadCatz TE ones available somewhere with shipping to Europe.

Both the soundtrack and the guide are pre-ordered, too.

 

[Takuan]

So basically, if I want anything at all, be at the store the moment they're available. Gotcha.

I've decided if I can secure a TE, I'll get one, but a CE will do just fine. I would have to mod it regardless of which I get - I'm a bat-top man.

they stopped taking pre orders for the regular stick but not the TE fight stick. So ya I guess your best bet is go to the store right when it opens

Thumb and I use the shoulder buttons for fierce/roundhouse.

Will the PS3 version have any disc space requirements like most Capcom titles on the PS3?

if you mean install, there is an optional install that greatly decreases load times

 

[Kccitystar]

How big is the optional install size? Anyone know?

 

[Kintaro]

I believe it was 5 GB or somewhere around that number.

 

[Spruchy]

So is there any chance of getting a TE on launch day anywhere? Is best buy, wally gonna carry them?

 

[Snapshot King]

YES! Friend of mine got our TE sticks at his place today. I'm in awe I even got mine, considering we ordered on the very last day from Gamestop and his order got changed to backordered. But whoo!

 

[Darkman M]

I bet gamestop is snatching up all the sticks, even the ones people like me preorded at amazon & bestbuy:lol : (

[Raging Spaniard]

Yeah you never know with the sticks, me and a friend from work ordered them at the same time (actually I ordered mine a day earlier)

He got his stick on Friday, Im still waiting :\
