Street Fighter IV!
 

Anybody played it yet? Graphics are nice, very much like Street Fighter II Turbo style, but more balanced, still bs but ye.

ATM I'm using RYU (so damn strong), and Abel. Both are cool, Ryu evil good. Somebody played against me using Zangief , god damn he's so strong. Anti jump (all 3 punch) and throw that does heaps of damange, and 623 P! Very strong.

I urge you all to play it, it's a great game with something for casual gamers, and hardcore fighting game fans....kof may need a bit of a rest now

what? is this thing already out? i need to get on this ASAP if it is. i wont believe this isnt just another EX until i get my hands on it, is ken still broken?

Re: Street Fighter IV!
 

Ken is quite good, but top his ultra his limited range. At the mo top tier is Ryu, Sagat, Zangief. Very strong....Zangief....is evil. I got Zangiefed the other day :(

Re: Street Fighter IV!
 

I heard that there was a character with an infinite combo. Sucks, I guess. I'm not much into fighters though.

Re: Street Fighter IV!
 

El Fuerte has one i believe. His damage sux but he's so quick. More practice!!! Seen Ryu vids.....he's the char i wanna master!

Re: Street Fighter IV!
 

i'll be getting it when its out.. sucks gotta wait till Feb though. :(

Re: Street Fighter IV!
 

don't u have it in the arcades for the us?

Re: Street Fighter IV!
 

There are arcades in the US?

Re: Street Fighter IV!
 

yea, what arcades? and even so, i wouldnt be going there to put money in each time to play, when i can get the whole game for 360 and play that.

Re: Street Fighter IV!
 

Ive been a Ryu player since forever, Im surprised they made him top tier for once (he was godly on ssf2t for me...as long as i wasnt facing sagat or freaking balrog...)

Re: Street Fighter IV!
 

Actually the game is kinda like SF2T but a bit more balanced. Ryu is one of the best at the mo. Him and Abel is who i use.

The best part about the arcades is that you can challenge, draw a huge crowd and aim for multiple wins in a row ( i got 20 using Abel). If u're good u won't spend much. One night I spent $1 playing kof98 UM for a good hour or 2, i got 41wins It's a lot more atmospheric in the arcades, but whatever floats your boat.

I'm shocked u guys don't have aracade machines

Re: Street Fighter IV!
 

That sounds good, I like classic, can tatsu maki's still go through sonic booms on the first few frames? is the shoryuken for ryu invincible on the way up again?.

On some videos i saw this move that looked somewhat like parrying (can we parry?) and this other thing that seemed broken and overpowered, hopefully im wrong, where you would become kind of like a golem and perform your moves despite being hit, what is that?

Re: Street Fighter IV!
 

214 k goes through sonic booms, i think 214 HK goes through hadookens

623 (shoryuken) is invincible at core hit ya

There is no parry, you can push MP+MK together quickly before fireball comes to kind of parry it, but a small part of ur health is taken, it will regain itself pretty fast, but if u get hit while regaining u take the portion of damage.

It's called Focus attack

Re: Street Fighter IV!
 

oh oh, one more thing, does ken's LP shoryu still have a shorter hop than Ryu's? I hated not being able to chain shoryu's with Ryu on 3rd strike, I have this lame thing that people fall into often where I LP shoryu at a distance I know it wont connect, but not far enough to be an obvious bait, as people dash in i just go up with the second one hitting them, not doable in 3s unless my opponent hesitates.

Re: Street Fighter IV!
 

hmmm not sure the difference, i only used abel and ryu....

I think they look very similar, not sure the distance they cover
