Deathjam Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 Didn't know about the first strikes. Did that without even knowing. Only took me two tries, but really, Seth does just switch sometimes. I remember when I was playing with viper on the easiest setting. Had just completed it with others before hand, even getting a perfect on seth, but this time, he just went apeshit on me, pulling ridiculous chains and repeatedly narrowly avoiding death. I am not even good with Viper, I was just using the tried and tested methods to beat seth, but honestly, it took me something like 14 tries.
Goron_3 Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 Played a few games last night with Bard, and won 9-7 overall i think (and in 2 of those games I played as Balrog and lost). So yeah, go Guile!
Dyson Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 Goron, I want a match or two Also, where are the Femme Fatale Costumes? ;_; Edit: Disregard that, it's FINALLY up. I'm going on XBL now. If I see ya online, I'll send you an invite. With any luck my headset is working today..

Haha, well, excuses are feeble, but you didn't have a nekkid horny girl biting your neck while you were trying to pwn my ass You're not half bad...but we need to play again. Sunday it is.
Dyson Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 Just got my arse handed to me by a few people on XBL. Damn I need to ditch this 360 D-Pad. Still good fun though, and managed to do some of Seth's Hard trials.
Jav_NE Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 Are the girl costumes on PSN? Didn't see them. Anyone know how to do Chun-Lis third trial? Its the HP-HP in the air followed by the hopping on the head kicks. It's impossible!
Portlett Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 if anyone fancies a few games later on tonight as in 12 ish ill be online, add me on live - portlett.
Guest Maase Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 4Chan did that I'm planninng on buying this game when it comes out for PC, will I be the only one? Also, the Pop music at the beginning is so annoying, yet so addicting.

Dyson Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 4Chan did that I don't care. A lot of things I find funny come from 4chan. It's when people like you rim 4chans every move and follow it like some sort of lemming, thinking they're super cool because they're in on /b/'s memes. I'm planninng on buying this game when it comes out for PC, will I be the only one? Looks that way. Might er, acquire it, see how it runs on my system purely out of interest. Might not bother though. No point having it for single player and won't be able to play it online, plus I don't actually know anyone getting it for the PC. They're talking about bundling sticks with the PC version.
Goron_3 Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 I've just realised why it's not letting me play certain people..apparantly my NAT settings aren't ideal..how on eath do i change them! grrr it's really annoying because it's not letting me play against certain guys. grr.
Jav_NE Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 Do the two punches, land then quickly jump again and do the triple kick. Nice, thanks! Stuck on stage four now haha. Focus - crouch HP - M bird kick. I can do it but it just gets blocked. Dont see how i can do it any faster. I'm already cancelling the hard punch into the bird kick so surely it cant get any faster =/

Dante Posted February 28, 2009 Author Posted February 28, 2009 From CheapAssGamer Dear Capcom, I'm writing this open letter to let you know that I won't be buying any of your Street Fighter IV downloadable costume packs. Like many Street Fighter fans, I've dumped a lot of money into your franchise. I've spent an incredible amount of time and quarters on your arcade versions and have purchased home console versions too. Despite it's problems, I'm having a lot of fun with your latest version, Street Fighter IV. The gameplay brings back a lot of fond memories I've had for the earlier games, yet includes plenty of new stuff to add some depth and keep things interesting. Two weeks before the release of Street Fighter IV, you announced the details of 5 x $4 downloadable costume packs, the first of which was available on the games release date, with more coming during the subsequent 4 weeks. I believe it to be extremely bad form for you to release and plan so much downloadable content so close to the games release date. This is especially true considering the title's online play shortcomings. Are you aware that the online play for the $60 Street Fighter IV is vastly inferior to its $15 XBLA/PSN cousin, Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix? Instead of planning how to suck an extra $20 out of your devoted fans, perhaps you could have included a lobby/quarter match system like SFIITHDR. Also, it's incredibly time consuming to get an online match going. Your developers seemed to not understand the concept underlying the "Quick Match" option and I bet one could download all 5 costume packs faster than launching a single ranked match. I spend as much time looking for matches as I do fighting in them. Just Google "street fighter quick match" to find plenty of complaints. I recently purchased the $8 Legendary Car Pack for Burnout Paradise, which is basically new costumes for cars. How is that different you ask? Their game came out over a year ago, and during the last year, Criterion Games has spent a lot of time fine-tuning their product and adding new FREE content. Because of their vast efforts, I didn't feel too guilty splurging. Capcom (and other guilty publishers), your customers who pre-ordered and/or purchased your games at full price at release are being punished with incomplete products when we should be rewarded for supporting you. Maybe next time we'll just wait for the inevitable price drops or buy the games used at a discount. We can use the money saved to reassemble which was broken apart to maximize profits. Love, CheapyD Argee or disargee?
Pit-Jr Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 I agree with almost everything said here, particularly paying extra for content thats already on the disc, and HDR having better online options BUT, at the same time, ive had far less trouble with lag (maybe 2 out of over 100 matches have been laggy) on SFIV and ive already gotten more hours of fun out of IV than almost any other game this generation. Still worth the asking price
McPhee Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 I agree with the DLC part, anything that is ready for release by the time the game goes Gold shouldn't be charged for really. A few months after release and i've got no problems with it.
Babooo Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 guys i don't get the whole cancelling of moves...how??
Guest Captain Falcon Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 Well I finally cracked and picked this up today. Didn't play it for very long but I'm certainly enjoying it - not played a Street Fighter since Alpha 3 on the PSX. I have to say that the 360 pad is nowhere near as bad as I was expecting. Charge moves are a touch awkward, but moves for the shoto characters are quite easy to pull off. That said, I'm still absolutely awful - I couldn't beat Balrog for the life of me with Ryu so I came off.
spirited away Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 Man I am awful at this game; I can't complete it on the easiest difficulty setting.
Guest Captain Falcon Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 guys i don't get the whole cancelling of moves...how?? Have you tried the challenges? They give some examples of move canceling either via focus attacks or Supers and Ultras I'm fairly sure you can't cancel all moves (some for the obvious reason of being in the air), but it's mostly down to timing... I think. It was in the EX plus Alpha games at least.
Dyson Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 Street Fighter EX Plus Alpha was wicked. Loved it. I remember not understanding cancelling at all but pulling it off now in retrospect
The Bard Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 Street Fighter EX Plus Alpha was wicked. Loved it. I remember not understanding cancelling at all but pulling it off now in retrospect That game was notoriously shite. The concept of cancelling barely existed in that game, it was mechanically kaput.
Jav_NE Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 I dont quite get cancelling other than the fact some moves combo into others if you do them quickly. For instance, im on the last Chun Li hard trial and cant figure out how to do an Ex Focus after an EX fireball. I watched a video of someone doing it and theres no way it can be done that fast without some sort of cancel. I'm guessing its a focus dash cancel or something, but damn, i cant do it. Gutted as i did the others! Pretty proud too! Got my gold titles as a reward Dont agree with that complaint by the way. SFIV is an amazing game. The fact he wants all of the DLC is testament to how much he likes it too, otherwise he could just ignore it. Personally, i think its great its coming out so soon. Would it be better if it were already in the game for free? Yeh, but i dont mind. Im not buying them all, only the Femme Fatales. They've split them into packs to make it cheaper at least. As for the online stuff, he states a blatant untruth. So it can take a few tries to get a ranked match started. In no way does it take longer than it would to download the DLC. Thats not even the point though, hes complaining about a technical menu-based issue with the game, something that can be resolved in time, and no doubt will at some point. And isn't the DLC for the online upgrade free? Honestly, some people. I dont think alot of gamers realise how much it costs to make a game and in how much trouble the industry is in at the moment anyway. If you ask me, Capcom have every right to try and make a bit of extra money.
Dyson Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 When you put it that way, I guess you're right. But it's something that is already in the game; it's not extra work, it's stuff they've hidden away needs unlocking via a code and that's what everyone is getting worked up about. I bought the Femme Fatale pack and will buy the Shoryuken pack regardless, though. I enjoy the game too much as it is. Plus, the game came out, for me, at £27.99 as opposed to 39.99. I can justify spending an extra few pounds from the savings at release!
