game is amazing. best fighter in quite a while. so happy i skipped soul calibur and waited for this instead.

some of the moves have been reduced. and priorities changed. but for the better. and with the fucus attack / ex moves / supers / ultras. its hard to say they're underpowered compared to old versions.

ken is quite stopable... its just annoything that no one can pick anything but him. i know hes the easiest to learn and all. but take a little time. learn something new! however its also that same fact that hes picked the most that makes him a bit easier to deal with, you know exactly what your getting when you fight him. you know the moves hes gunna do because everyone does em.

i've been working on cammy myself. want to get a lot better using her.

i had one guy today. after i beat his zangief with cammy. he threw a fit and sent me voice messages yelling and saying how im cheating by using an unlockable character and how unlockables are so much better then the others...

im like uhhh... its um.. cammy. lol

but if your having trouble learning ken... this can help you out.

The game is amazing on PS3. I played with Typhoid for most of the afternoon.

I like Soul Calibur IV better so far, especially because of the customization. But the balancing and combos seem better in SFIV, by a hair. I haven't tried online yet.

I understand how you feel Null. I actually want to get good at Cammy because I've always liked using her, but the length of Cammy's legs seemed to have been reduced so I'm working on that. However, I do like Ken. I think that slowly they intentionally make Ken better then Ryu because Ryu was so unstoppable back in the day.

Akuma though? Major nerf. Just unlocked him and he has the same issue. I've never been much of a combo guy myself, so dealing with these characters who their moves are so short distanced makes it hard for me to adapt.

You said you wouldn't tell!

But anyways, yeah - me and Dyne both picked up PS3 copies of this today, and I haven't played mine yet, but from the extensive play we did, the game seems really good to re-hook me into the Street Fighter I loved when I was growing up.

The addition of online, and online challenge modes also seems really awesome.
