Wooo
Won my first G2 championship with bison after switching from blanka at 9k gp.
soo good.
Bisons really got to make use of his get away teleport to stop getting crossed up all the time.
Also, standing high kick is the shit.
My game is still delving into 'we are both nearly dead, hope this random headstomp works' a little too much, but I'm not getting TRASHED anymore.
Any bison players utilise the tepeort for anything decent? I only use it as a get away. Was trying to teleport behind shotos and throw, but recovery sucks too much and you get jabbed by anyone that doesn't suck.

I'm glad I pre-ordered. I checked the Steam store again today and it has disappeared from my region (Japan).

I got a C. I have a Pentium D and an 8800GTS. I get 60fps. Only drops during the cinematics. Gameplay is buttery.
With the image quality being substantially better...I'll take it.

Seriously looks like that BP thing is probably just a bug as opposed to a hack and even if it is.. its not like its any different from PSN or XBL where people just trade wins.
Is there Championship Mode in the PC version? Ill probably just stick to that.

Nope, just use it as getaway myself - as you say, the recovery is too slow & will get you pummelled. I've accidentally teleported & escaped a throw on a couple of occasions before though.
Nice, easy Bison double-hitter for you - jumping medium punch x1 (against airborne opponent), land & juggle hit opponent with heavy kick.

Looks like someone fucked something up.
Edit:
Maybe it works for you guys.
If you preloaded the game, you got encrypted files. That's how Steam Prealod works.
The thing is, Steam servers never sent the decryption keys. Steam just made the game available, even tho all the files on your hd are still encrypted (and thus, unusable).
You have two options:
1) delete everything and download everything, as it will come decrypted from the main server
2) wait until valve fixes the issue and sends out the decryption keys.
All you have to decide is which one is going to take the longest. Redownload the entire game, or wait until valve notices the mistake/releases the key/your computer finishes decrypting the data you already have.
Won't Valve ever get a pre-load right? :lol

Wow, I suck. 
I don't think I've played a fighting game beyond mashing buttons in DOA since SC on the Dreamcast so my ability to pull off combos of any sort is pathetic. I also think the 360's d-pad is not helping me. Hopefully the unlockable characters are not burried too far in.
I love the visual style, and some of the effects are excellent (the motion blur seems to be unusually good). Maybe it's that SFIV throws a lot of effects at you without losing IQ and (according to me layman's eyes) not relying to the next-gen compromises I've come to expect, but this is one of the prettiest games I've played over the past few years.

Can't believe I'm still playing this damn game. Tourney this weekend in socal. I'll enter and get my ass beat by some badass player down here.
Also, alt'ing Ryu. I made that big old post about choosing fuerte, but I straight up didn't like him. I hate having to go the vanilla street fighter route, but Ryu makes my loins burn and I do ok with him. Will also look into a Gief alt.

I was playing in a final against some scrub Abel and I kept yelling "isn't THAT a turd!" every time I'd hit him, and finally in the 2nd match he just gave up and let me get 2 free combos on him for the win. I wish he would have had a mic so I could hear him cry.

So uh, whenever I leave arcade mode in the PC version and try to play online, I get a "your gamer tag is not capable of online play" error message. When I restart the game it fixes the problem, but it's still annoying as all hell.
Anyone got any ideas?

Okay so I have it pre-ordered and pre-loaded on Steam. Going to play when I get home in two hours.
Now, PC gamers, do any of you have a mic/headset and want to get on Ventrilo (I have a server) so we can get some voice-chat going while we play? I'm pretty nub, so I could use some training as well. :lol

Playing this game with a stick is nice. Even if it is my brother's shitty DOA4 Hori stick.

Dear god, I'm falling in love with playing Bison again. :lol
Jirotrom said:
Hmm maybe no one is talking, or maybe my mic just isn't picking the voice up :lol
By the way, I'm looking for some criticism on my control set up. I'm using the Wii Classic Controller and Glovepie and I'm pretty comfortable with my button settings, but if anyone has any better ideas please let me know.
In game:
ABXY - SNES style
R - HP
ZR - HK
L - Throw
ZL - Focus attack (I think that's what it's called?)
Right control stick right - LP+MP+HP
Right control stick left - LK+MK+HK
+ - Esc (Start)
- - Taunt
Extra stuff:
Home - GFW Guide
Home on Wiimote - Steam overlay
1+2 on Wiimote - Alt+Tab

I just had the opposite. I guess overtired plus a few wines wasn't the best time to continue my learning. ended up with a 10 loss losing streak and not a single round off anyone in G2 :/DryEyeRelief said:
If I get rushed with bison I don't know what to do and mashing takes over.
But I'm half pissed and sleepy. I know I'm better than that.
Sorry timedog for not accepting your invite, see above for reasons, plus our laggy connection = me throwing my joystick through the screen.

I am definitely impressed by the performance of this game. I too am running it with maximum settings at 1920x1200 resolution and am getting 60fps. Sure there isn't a whole lot happening on screen, but it is still very impressive. The loading times are also basically non-existent. I just need to get some USB arcade sticks now.

Well I had ordered 2 Sega Saturn USB controllers in anticipation for the game.
Guess what controller I'm sticking to? They mother friggin' keyboard. First off, the Saturn USB controller is a big fat piece of shit. Second off, the keyboard is waaaay better than I had anticipated. I have zero problem doing any of the moves. Quarter and half circles are a joke. Specials are a joke. Dragon punches were my only concern, but apparently you only need to tap forward-down-forward for those to work, so they're a joke as well.
Yay for keyboard.
edit: just trying some more in practice mode. I can't believe the keyboard is my controller of choice! I have never felt so unrestricted playing a fighting game before. Every action is absolutely effortless. It is an absolute joy to play.
Honestly, if I'm doing this well after 5 minutes of use, I have no doubt in my mind I will do better with a keyboard than I ever would have with an arcade stick. I would have thought it would be hard to do the smooth motions with a keyboard, but it's effortless. As long as the motions are fine, this is superior to an arcade stick to me, since it's much faster.
I'm using a keyboard with extremely responsive laptop style keys btw (though bigger).
The only downside I can see to the keyboard is that it punishes mashing...but that might be good for me.

Agreed. Keyboard FTW!
(Except for full rotations, those kind of suck.)
very nice
I am using a stick I built(it's ugly!)
Running 4x AA crashes my drivers(nvidia 185, win7 x64) and shows a black screen! Never had that happen in any game, unless this is what win 7 does instead of bsod, that'd be great. Downloading newer ones, if that doesn't fix it C16xQ worked so I can try 8whatever or go back to 0.

I had that problem with the W7 Beta build 7000, but I was running the 185 drivers. Now I'm running RC with the latest drivers and 4x AA runs just fine.
My only issue so far is sometimes I experience a slight bit of abnormal slowdown...it'll pause for a split second here and there. Not a performance issue.
Anyways...I'm liking the keyboard a hell of a lot more than the pad. I could still use a joystick for faster movement (like I said, up sucks on a keyboard). I wonder if the TE's are available in Canada at all.
