Omg..
FedEx is so retarded..
He tried delivering the package..
I wasn't home .. so he rescheduled delivery for Feb 16th!?!?
Wtf? Why can't he just leave it at my leasing office like EVERY OTHER FEDEX PACKAGE I HAVE EVER RECEIVED! I freaking signed addendum and contracts to allow those people to sign for me.
I just called them up and she said its up to the drivers discretion to go back now.. Ugh.
They did take my e-mail and I would get notification if it delivers.
If it doesn't then I gotta pick it up at the local FedEx facilities..
SO PISSED

But YouTube can't do 60fps@720p. Prepare to be blown away if you haven't already seen the game in it's full glory.Blueblur1 said:No problem!
Killzone 2 train is chuggin' at full steam and there's always Resident Evil 5. Capgod is the all praising phrase for all things Capcom.
I'm still very much excited for SFIV though. I'm avoiding a lot of the youtube videos because I really want that brand new feeling once I finally have a disc to put into my 360's tray.

anyone in Toronto have any luck?
lots of places are saying absolutely nothing until Tuesday (which means they have it but street dated)

Cant you asked them if you can pick it up at their facility?
I usually do this with FedEx and UPS if I am away during the day.
I am dealing with DHL for my import and their hours are more restrictive, I will go home as soon as I get an email of it being on the road

I probably can't.. just more of a hassle..gutter_trash said:
I can't believe how retarded that driver is.
The tracking says..
"Priority Envelope - Indirect Signature Required "
And then it defines this as my signature or the management offices signature would be required...
Yet he decided on his own to not even take it to the management office. Unfreaking believable lol.
At least you can pick it up. I'm tight on cash and already paid for it at GameStop so I'm tied to that.TurtleSnatcher said:

So I just found out that the truck doesn't even get back to the FedEx facility until 8pm tonight.
They close at 8:30... ugh.

Maybe he knows how important SFIV is to you and doesn't want to risk someone else walking away with it. [/baseless speculation]TurtleSnatcher said:
I think SFIV was announced in Fall of 07. If you can wait a year and a half you can wait 3 days. At least you'll have something to look forward to on Monday, which is exceedingly rare. Gamestop said they won't get my copy in until Wednesday but I'm not complaining. PC gamers have to wait another 4 months.

Gamestop wont have it until WEDNESDAY!
WHAT!
I thought it was already being shipped to stores.

Decided to take some gallery pics for you guys who are still waiting on the game.

Fei-long alternate costume idea (not used in the game, obviously)
My stats so far in the game. You can see that they keep track of a lot of things when you're playing. I only wish that you could separate Ranked and Player match, because they're combined into one category. I was gunning for the 20 ranked game win streak achievement, but I got stopped at 15. :/
Character frequency list... as you can see, the large majority of my matches have been with Honda, and I usually switch to Fuerte and Viper during player matches. Low tier characters COMING CORRECT!

Wanted it for the weekend.SapientWolf said:
Either way.. I will have it before the weekend.. either via delivery or by going to the facility.. Just so freaking annoying. Stupid FedEx.
As somebody who hasn't played SF seriously in like 10 years, any characters I should specifically stay away from in this game?
I was thinking about giving E. Honda or Zang a spin, but would this put me at a disadvantage as a new player? Or will it be easy enough to adapt around. As much as I love shoto characters, I want to try something new.

I suggest using the characters that you hate most first, because you will need to learn them all if you are serious about being competitive. I think the tier lists implicitly assume that both players know the strengths and weaknesses of both their character and the opponents.ashism said:

Sp 7-11 has it already in some places? Guess I will go down to one later. The people there are so clueless about games though...

What do the tiers matter? Is it just for competitive play or something? Like Tier B only etc etc?

Oichi! what is your verdict on Honda thus far?

Dan is the only character that can cancel a super into an ultra, IIRC. The hilarity that will ensue after connecting with that will make him a favorite among certain players, especially if there is a skill mismatch. He won't be used for serious tournament play though.

Anybody know which 7-11 stores sell games? I cant seem to find any around me that sell them. I am in the DC metro area so Maryland or northern Virginia is fine.

By the way.. the guide is really really good. I highly recommend you go out and buy it.
It has the frame data on EVERY single character move. Including just normal attacks..
Its pretty nuts.

Yeah, Viper's definitely not bad at all - of course, if you play Viper like Shootos, that will get her killed really fast as evidenced by the early loketests. :lolhaunts said:
I think the closest I can think of Viper is like having Chipp or a fast rushdown GG character with healthy mixups and poor health in Street Fighter.
Yeahh, Honda pretty much sucks - the good thing is, even as sucky Honda is, he's nowhere near as sucky as Q, Remy, Hugo, or the rest of the low tier SF3 cast compared to Chun, Ken, Yun, and Urien.Shig said:
You will most likely have a slight disadvantage with some characters, but it's not impossible - more like 4-6 rather than the 2-8 or 1-9 matchups that plague SF3.
