That's a picture from the tourney system. I can't read kanji, but I know the top says Championship Lobby, and I've heard the lower group of people are that player's semi-finals opponent, round 3 opponent, etc.Guled said:
I thought they were no lobbies, this is a pic of the championship dlc so maybe its coming then

i understand that there will never be character dlc, ono said as much... but do you really think they won't expand on this game?
it looks like it's going to sell tons... i imagine CAPCOM <333 will capitalize on the success and re-balance/build on the game a la every previous entry into the series.

I heard that Seth is actually Gill and Urien's brother's roommate's boyfriend. Not confirmed though.
As much as I would love for them to treat SF like a MMO with content patches and downloadable iterations...they won't. Think of this logically. They're charging $20 for all the costumes. Why would they charge $20/30 or whatever for a whole new iteration of the game? No, it'll be retail and we'll all slurp it up again. Of course, with much less fanfare.
I disagree. There's always been multiple iterations of every Street Fighter game, and it's not like recent fighting games have bucked the trend or anything (see Tekken, VF, Guilty Gear).Kintaro said:
I expect Capcom will do something like they did with Lost Planet, adding signifigant new content in the game's Platinum Hits release.

That's in Chun-Li's intro right? I thought these cameos were common knowledge by now. I've only been superficially following SF4 since I won't be buying it until the summer, and even I knew that.

Hikaru Utada was doing the love song for this intro right? Heard that on www.iplaywinner.com

No worries man. If you haven't played it in arcades yet, then you'll be pleasantly surprised about how great the game is. Each character's intro is great, so you have a lot of stuff to look forward to.
There's a few other small appearances so you have a lot to look forward to in terms of story

lol I am glad that I missed it, my work area is not very safe for viewing such things

This is how I wish it would go, but if simple costumes are $20, I can't see a full iteration for $30 or anything less than full price.
Personally, I see it like this. SF4 is the "base". Capcom can then provide content updates such as new bgm, stages, modes and balances to it's users. It can then provide full on expansions (Champion Edition, etc) for like, say $30. similar to like a WoW expansion. they could sell it at retail as well in a Fighter's Pack with the original SF4 and by itself. Then keep it rolling like that. Introduce new features, modes, so forth and so such to it's users. builds a userbase, keeps people playing and will make Capcom money should they choose to charge for other "optional" stuff like more costumes. Could introduce ranking matches (like VF's), team battle tournaments, items for winning Capcom sponsored tourneys, etc. Good stuff.
That's my thought anyways. Some people dig it, others don't.

Of course. SFIV takes place before III. So technically they already survived.
Oh and I think i'll give a standard fight stick unboxing video a shot. Most people are probably going to end up going after that one since the TE is so hard to find...and no one has really given it that much attention as a standard fighting consumer stick.
I'd definitely go for expansions/additions. I bought double impact and 3rd strike for the DC at full price and didn't regret either purchase at all. Hell didn't they add something like 8 new characters between the initial release of SF3 and 3S anyway not to mention stages etc. You know Capcom is going to do the same with 4, it's just a matter of how they distribute it IMO.

Guys expect TE sticks and other sticks in all GameStops in the next few days.. If not by early next week. Calls sent out were mistakes weren't suppose to go out.
they will fulfill all preorders.

sorry, I don't have my PS3 debug unit right now to test out the review build Capcom sent me. But if it's anything like the 360 version, should it should be, then expect a lot of stat tracking from character usage, how many throws you've accomplished, how many times you've made your opponents dizzy, etc.

Online update:
Playing online has virtually no lag.....I can't explain it. I usually play people with either no status for their network quality or in the red. Of the 20+ games I've played online so far, online has had noticeable lag. 100x better than HD Remix's netcode. And ranked matches are very addictive. I usually don't play ranked matches, but being able to steal someone's BP make me want to play ranked matches all day. I don't see a real lobby system like HD remix has, so no spectator mode. I beat someone that had ~1200bp and was about to beat him for the 2nd time in a row and he quit it seems. I didn't get his BP. I'm hoping capcom fixes that because dammit I won fair and square lol.
Gamestop/Amazone need to hurry up and send my sticks!

I'd like to see a Street Fighter 4 Dash. Adds Alex, Yun, Remy, and Ibuki as playable characters. Rebalanced gameplay/tweaks.
That or just the 3rd Strike characters as DLC.
