Dan_Dare Posted April 4, 2010 Posted April 4, 2010 Fightpads are worth the money IMO. Great for emulators and stuff too if you're a dirty thief like me.
flameboy Posted April 4, 2010 Posted April 4, 2010 ooooh or for playing random games like Braid, Spelunkey, Super Meat Boy...that would be better with a joypad...
Dyson Posted April 4, 2010 Posted April 4, 2010 Fightpads are worth the money IMO. Great for emulators and stuff too if you're a dirty thief like me. Was playing some of my old genesis games earlier and it would have been muchos easier had I had a pad. Psycho Pinball + KEyboard = Reduced Awesome.
Dan_Dare Posted April 11, 2010 Posted April 11, 2010 fans may find this interesting: Documentary called I Got Next about the SSIV pro circuit in America. Download is free and legal (torrent) not watched it yet, but it could be good.
Dyson Posted April 11, 2010 Posted April 11, 2010 Sweet, I'll check it out when I'm on mah PC. Got my fightpad! Went for a Guile Round 2 fightpad and I love it. I've never enjoyed being able to pull off Akuma's fire hadoken (messatsu?). Can finally pull off sweet combos, nearly perfected some 2000BP chump on Live last night. Much fun
Dyson Posted April 11, 2010 Posted April 11, 2010 Sounds like a flowchart Game later, dude? Hah, fuck you shoryukenshoryukenshoryukenshoryukenshoryukenshoryukenshoryukenshoryuken! Gonna have to be tomorrow now unfortunately brah; got the girlie over tonight. Afternoonish sound good? I'll probably be on Live anyway!
Dante Posted April 11, 2010 Author Posted April 11, 2010 The list of changes for SSF4. SSF4's alternative outfits.
Strange Cookie Posted April 26, 2010 Posted April 26, 2010 Well, they're selling this very early. A full five days! Not that I'm complaining. Now if you'll excuse me, I have some beating to do.
Strange Cookie Posted April 27, 2010 Posted April 27, 2010 (edited) I got it from a big-chain gamestore. I'm literally surrounded by gamestores, both big chains and indies, and there is usually one who sells mayor titles early. RE5: Gold was sold a whole week in advance, Yakuza 3 also 5 days. It's just a matter of doing the rounds here. It's not one store, though. now it's this one, the next time another. I remember playing SFIV for the first time, and while good, it didn't blow me away. Surprisingly, as this is an update, this one has me floored. The presentation is great (No more 'in-des-tructableeeee', mind. Whether or not this is good or bad, I leave up to you ), the Bonus Stages are a real treat in a Back-to-the-ol'days way. Sometimes, one of the 'bad guys' from Final Fight even comes to say his famous line. If that isn't great fan service, I don't know what is. The new backgrounds are way more interesting and dynamic the older ones, and all characters are unlocked from the get-go, which makes for an excellent roster from the beginning. And Prison-Cody is the icing on the cake. Even the voice-acting is pretty good... for a fighting game. It feels more complete, polished and balanced (for as far as I can tell) then SFIV. Essential, and for a midlow-price. I you have SFIV, you simply have to update. If you don't have SFIV, there hasn't been a better time to do so. Edited April 27, 2010 by Strange Cookie
flameboy Posted April 27, 2010 Posted April 27, 2010 Good to hear Strange Cookie..I missed the boat with SFIV so now is the best time to jump in...
Pit-Jr Posted April 27, 2010 Posted April 27, 2010 This should be arriving any minute now and by some freak miracle i just scored 3 ''punishment'' days off of work. (insert deity) has truly smiled upon me today! Theres alot of new PS3 users here since the last version of SFIV so anyone picking this up, do post your PSN ID in this thread!
MATtheHAT Posted April 27, 2010 Posted April 27, 2010 Should have it this week, anyone up for some online tourney's?
Dyson Posted April 27, 2010 Posted April 27, 2010 Got mine pre-ordered from Shopto. £21 with a free shirt to boot. I cannot wait - SFIV was such a huge game for me and I just got my hands on a fight pad too so I can really tuck in One question; early on in development Capcom said something about people who already owned SFIV and bought SSFIV would get...something. Not a clue what, was there any follow up on this?
Pit-Jr Posted April 28, 2010 Posted April 28, 2010 If you still have a SFIV save, upon starting SSFIV you get colors 11 and 12 unlocked, one of which gives your fighter the inky abstract look from the opening cinema. Hooray? I played about a dozen online matches and only encountered 1 Shoto spammer. Mission accomplished!
flameboy Posted April 28, 2010 Posted April 28, 2010 Are the new fightpads wireless?! I don't really want a wireless one want it for PC stuff like Spelunkey and Braid as well...
Dyson Posted April 28, 2010 Posted April 28, 2010 360 wired, ps3 wireless. Therefore 360 ftw this time
Shorty Posted April 28, 2010 Posted April 28, 2010 But surely the PS3 ones are charged using USB cables? So they're both wired and wireless?
flameboy Posted April 28, 2010 Posted April 28, 2010 woohoo got the shopto text to say its on the way!
Goron_3 Posted April 28, 2010 Posted April 28, 2010 The list of changes for SSF4. SSF4's alternative outfits. Ken's sweeping kick is now QUICKER? Wow, looks we'll see even more online ken users haha
Beast Posted April 28, 2010 Posted April 28, 2010 I'm gonna be buying this from my local and loyal Blockbuster who are selling it for the awesome price of twenty-five of my English pounds. I can't wait! I already know who my fighter is...go SAKURA!
flameboy Posted April 29, 2010 Posted April 29, 2010 fingers crossed my copy shows up from shopto...very excited not properly played a streetfighter game since like 2 in the arcades and on megadrive. do own it on virtual console and hd remix on ps3.
Dyson Posted April 29, 2010 Posted April 29, 2010 Mine hasn't turned up today and thus I'm not gonna get to play it until Tuesday. BOOO
