The Street Fighter IV thread

[Damaramu]

Oh man, I LOVE this game! Money well spent! Although, I was expecting a little more from the guide "book" they included! Sort of reminded me of those little comics that came with He-Man action figures back in the day! Ditto for the Crimson Viper figure. She's fugly...and pretty poorly painted.

Additionally: My Ties That Bind disc was in my game case...and the soundtrack was in the Ties That Bind case. Just thought it was odd.

So far so good with the SFIV controller. I've have ZERO problems with it outside of SSFIIHDR. I tried the controller with SFII Turbo...worked perfectly. No issues with shoryukens at all.

And finally, I'd like to say this: FU ABEL!! Damn, the computer loves spamming that move where he grabs, spins you around and tosses you!! Just you wait until I unlock Sakura you bastich! Haha!!

Agreed on Abel. I beat Seth on my 3rd try but Abel drives me nuts.

Another odd thing about the CE for the 360 is that on the card for the costume download, it mentions the Playstation Network once.

So far, I'm enjoying the game. But for the life of me can't get past the trial for C. Viper that's a Focus Attack to EX Electric Punch whatever. Just doesn't seem to be enough time to link it.

Give Best Buy a look. My store still had three of these yesterday for 360.

That's better than my Bestbuy, they screwed me over because I got there at opening and staff had taken all the street fighters for themselves, I still managed to get myself a copy of the collectors but man I was pissed.

I entered an unofficial tournament at Gamecrazy today. I finished 3rd. Kinda lame because I didn't win anything, but everyone was so surprised to see me dominate with Cammy. Almost everyone was Ken.

They're letting you play Cammy? I heard unlocked characters wouldn't be there.

Ummm I'm going to one today, wish me luck.

Protip: create matches yourself. Always works!

Exactly. It took me about 2 minutes of trying to get into existing matches to figure it out.

Or turn invite on and try to play arcade mode.

That's what I've been doing, and half the time my arcade match doesn't even begin by the time I get an invite.

It was an unofficial tournament at Gamecrazy, not the official one at Gamestop.

If you were to find a Street Fighter 4:CE at the stores how much would it cost? Like 70 or 80? on Ebay it's like 130...my local game crazy has 2.

[Nate Nanjo]

I like the Collectors Edition and the game so money well spent.

I came to the conclusion that Seth is one of the cheapest bosses I've ever fought, I've beaten him on very hard with Vega, but trying to beat him on very easy with any other character I get owned 3 or 4 times before beating him.

Apparently I'm in a small group of Vega users.

Cheap bosses are enough to convince me not to ever buy this game. Generally, i don't like throwing my controller through a wall. I'll take difficult, ninja gaiden is awesome, but cheap? Pass.

He's really not all that bad.

People need to fight some SNK bosses, and then we'll talk.

If you look at the Ebay auctions in the last few days, the price has dropped to just slightly above MSRP on the auctions that have actually been won. This isn't exactly a rare CE since it was stocked by lots of major retailers. The PS3 version seems to command a slightly higher price, but that's probably because the demand for that version was higher than Capcom had anticipated since I think they did the usual ratio of 35-40% PS3 and the rest 360 based on relative market share for each console.

[Damaramu]

Seth is cheap if you try to actually fight him. I found it's easiest to find the one move he's weak against and spam the hell out if it. That's how I win my matches against him, giving him a dose of his own cheapass medicine.

[Wolfrider31]

Amen. Fighting against Seth is infuriating. Or at least, with Dan it is. I went through a good dozen or so matches before I gave up last night. I should probably just switch it to a weaker difficulty level but my pride won't let me. He's still pretty poorly designed and I'm thinking a rebalancing is in order vis a vis a patch.

Also, and it could just be because I've played VF for about 5 years, but the throw logic in this game sucks. It seems like a throw will connect in the most ridiculous of circumstances. Immediately after you hit a character, while in the middle of a move, etc. I've had numerous instances of having a character perform a move, me dodge and leap in for a counter attack and then, WHILE THE OPPONENT'S MOVE IS STILL ANIMATING, be thrown. Yeah, yeah canceling and that, but it smacks of illogical design.

I won Round 1 of the GameStop tournament at the Avondale location. If anyone ever wants to play me, I'm "SurfKahuna" on live. Add me!

Just picked this up last night. Very difficult to find in stock! I finally asked someone at the third store I went to - they had a few, but behind the counter. They tried to get me to buy the arcade stick as well -- which, while cool, is probably not substantially better than the DOA 360 stick I already have.

Or is it??

[Damaramu]

Did you buy the CE or the regular edition?

Unless it's the tournament edition, it's trouble.

Check out the thread about defects and manufacturing issues in the tech talk forum at SRK(I'd link to it, but the server is currently down). Here's a link to the news story on 1UP where Mad Catz addresses the problem.

On the other hand, they were going for over a hundred bucks on Ebay last week, so if you want to make some quick cash...

I'm in Japan, so it's the Hori, not the Mad Catz stick. You can see it here:

It looks identical to the DOA stick except the face label.

AFAIK there's only one edition in Japan. I only saw one advertised - but since it's difficult to get in the stores there could be other versions.
