Okay, I double checked if there was a thread for this game or not, then I got lazy.
Anyway, I think from previous searched I got the impression from some of you, that you guys were over SF Series and had moved on, but I like to pay my homage (as well as many countless hours of quarters at arcades and random landromats around SJ and beyond...)
Anyway, since the console version is out on 2/17 anyone planning to pick this up on PS3 or Xbox360?
or most of you (ironically myself included) arent going to bother buying it or the special edition which isnt worth $60 or $90(special ed)...
but the only reason why i started this thread is because I found out yesterday that Gamestop is hosting their own Tournaments * at parcicpating locations * on:
Saturday
Feb 21st
2pm * (arrive early they told me)
* Random participating locations
Stevens Creek Gamestop in San Jose/Santa Clara. - I was at and yes their holding it.
only other thing I thought was interesting that all finalist from this Gamestop Tourney will be given "Bids" to compete in the EVO Tourney 2009.
I figure that would be worth mentioning, but I havent even played SFIV yet, so I'd be pretty ballsy to enter a tourney in a game that I've never played before...
Not like ive never done that before and looked like a friggin idiot...
*cough cough *
I would go on the 21st, but I'll probably have bday plans and rather bury myself in booze and boobs for the day thanks. :P
boobs huh? o.O;;
I see >...<
I suck at Street fighter anyways @.@
But Guilty Gear I can play well enough *_*

I havent played GG series since XXreloadXX
technically you should try BlazBlue, I hear its good stuff. another game I havent played and would be crazy enough to enter a random tourney for... :P
Hmmm, hopefully they have a tourny out here in the valley. I'll probably lose, but I'll at least know where I stand in the valley when it comes to SF. I'm also pretty decent at Guilty Gear, and I'm practicing at Melty Blood right now as well.

In all seriousness, yeah SF4 is finally on console (Yay, not sucky Dan). I'm not as hype as I really should be.
Whats wrong with Dan?
I actually sorta like him. I think. :)
I'll probably come watch and enter on a whim. I wonder if they'd provide sticks. I'm guessing not... *Busts $120 Hori Stick!*
About Chun-Li...I've been singing that song at school. And I swear to god, those combos work.

Or you could read the rules and know they are using console pads only. Bringing your own stick is not allowed as it allows for disadvantages and stuff, as well... would delay the tournament drastically.
I'll have the game by the end of the night!!!
:DDD
I was joking (I myself don't even own a PS3/Xbox360).
Now I will commence by reading the rules.
EDIT: http://www.gamestop.com/gs/tournaments/sf4/sf4tourney_rules.aspx (link provided for anyone else interested)
I'll be at one of the tourneys locations for sure
I am currently building my own arcade stick but I keep lagging on it

It is now officially out!!!
If anyone wants to play on 360, hit me up
gt:abcbadcat
so it seems like everyone and their best friend is playing this game.
my roommate bought it for his ps3, funny how he didnt offer to let me play considering he ended up borrowing my ps3 controler to play versus with his friend.
Graphics look nice [though ive seen all the trailers etc etc.] but I actually havent got my hands on it yet.
is it really worth $60 tho?
seems like alot to pay for a fighting game nowadays. :P

For a game like this, anything other that a stick just doesn't seem right.
Ironically, I would politely disagree.
Since SNES days, I had to literally master [or just get used to] using the controler lay out given to me. Sure I would prefer the feel of a joy stick and buttons i dont have to reach or use the same hand to QCP [quarter cricle punch] with my left thumb and left index finger only. I literally knew players would play with one [and sometimes two broken arms]. :P
Sometimes I could do combos with only the controler, and sometimes I do certain combos with the Joy/Arcade Stick.
But after playing til about 4am this morning, I've unlocked 3 characters: Dan, Sakura, Gen. and scene endings for: Chun Li, Ryu, Ken & Sakura.
Ironically I was REALLY impressed with the opening of the game, but although the anime-ish cute scenes [and optional jp voices] as well as semi-interactive backgrounds are nice. I was disappointed in the VERY short [and sometimes anticlimatic] endings.
Did I mentiong that Seth is a total cheap bitch? [unless you figure out his attach patter and exploit it]
So anyone figure out tiers yet? I cant believe I'm counting frames and developing strategties and mentally counting quarter usage in my head.
ah, the random nostalga of spending countless hours and lunch moneys at the local 7-11.
by the way did anyone notice that some 7-11 sell video games? [triple A titles only of course] but i was like whoa. sure 3am, I'll take a slurpee, a box of condoms and oh let me pick up a Reservation for Resident Evil 5 thanks. :P

Hahaha, that last line... I read that in the newest Official Xbox Magazine
Seth is a super cheap bitch and he needs to fucking die
Unlocking Seth took forever and no way in hell will I ever be getting that "BEAT GAME WITH EVERYONE ON NORMAL" thing
I currently have about 800BP on ranked but whenever you win, you receive about 50BP and you lose up to 90! (ibDON'TLOSELOL)
I fucking LOOOOOOVE Rose and Dictator

Points are based on amount of opponent. If you have 2000 and your opponent has 0 and you win... you get like 4. If they win they get like 200 and you lose 200.
I currently have like 2600 I think. 125/4.

Dunno if people heard about this, but when you doing the challenge of unlocking characters without
continues you can have a 2nd player jump in when you are about to loose. It beats having to start over from scratch and you can unlock a lot faster. Just need to unlock Seth and Gouken and I am done.

Tried it when unlocking Akuma and yes it works well. Dunno if this was something they missed
or that they didn't care? Also you can unlock the characters with easiest.. Yeah pretty cheap :P

Not nearly as cheap as Seth is, even at easiest :P
I agree Seth is a cheap bastard, seems like the only way to beat him is doing a bunch of sweeps.. lol.

Seth is easy to beat, seriously. I don't see why people are having any trouble against CPU Seth. It's not hard to block things, and if he's in SPD range you should be hitting him before he can SPD you.
To be honest, I HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE talking about fighting games with people that suck at fighting games, but they talk as if they know about fighting games.
Seth is actually extremely easy for a last boss. Go play virtually any SNK game, those are broken last bosses.
What do you expect on a board for an anime convention? If you want to talk fighting games with people who play them, go to SRK.
Good luck at trying to hit Seth out of a 2 frame throw.
I actually agree with Pyron, [whoa weird i know]
once you learn to antipate his standard CPU pattern he's not that bad, so in theroy it would be a chore to defeat him medium, but do what most players have been doing: set the arcade mode to 1 bout. then you dont have to deal with the 2nd [more cheesier, but still beatable] form.
played both xbox and ps3 version, and i prefer it on the ps3 controllers,
and just like everyone else, still trying to unlock Seth. :P

Actually, my experience has been that if you set it for one bout, it goes right to the cheesier form, do not pass go, do not collect $200. Of course, your mileage may vary. If you stick with characters that you're comfortable with or at least have some power to him, you'll do better against him. However, if you're doing the unlocking grind and playing as characters you're not good at or are on the weak side just to unlock characters, then it's going to be more of a pain.
I now have about 80+ wins on ranked and finally broke 1k in BP

I read that and laughed; I can't play on a pad, its so awkward.
Ryu/Dictator/Seth mostly. I was going to learn Viper, but frankly, she's way too complicated and her execution is too hard for me to do consistantly, and because life value is so low with her, a missed cancel or something can mean death. I MIGHT still try to pick her up when I get a better stick for my 360, but it's unlikely.
I can play Gief well, but it's not like that's hard, so I don't really play him. He's boring and frankly, wins with him against people online feel so empty.
The rest of the cast, minus Gen and Fuerte I can play well enough to play, but I don't main them.
Sakura, Ken, and Sagat are my tops. ^^ I might add Boxer and Fei Long on my list once I get better with them....and also get myself a stick eventually. ^^
So is there going to be a tournament this year for SF4?
If so, I'm down.
