Rolento and Mika were deconfirmed but Sodom hasn't been but he's so unlikely anyway.

Ah I see.

There were Twitters and stuff from Ono saying the "Battle Director" didn't like Mika so she wouldn't be in.

Not sure where I read the Rolento thing but I know I read it about the same time as the Mika deconfirmation..

Are there any alpha characters left besides sodom? Dunno if I could see all the characters being from third strike.

Birdie, Charlie, Karin, Sodom, Mika and Rolento I think are all that's left from Alpha.

Forgot about Birdie and Karin.

God I hope Birdie isn't one of them. Is Karin a sakura clone or what? How does she play?

I don't know how she plays, that's probably something Kalyx could answer but I know she's not a Sakura clone. Birdie wouldn't be so bad, would he?

Karin isn't a Sakura clone, she's not a shoto of any sort. She uses counters and physical strikes as specials, no chi attacks. I loved her.

They could throw us a curveball and give us a couple rival schools characters.

I'm just hoping for Alex, tbh.

I have Alpha 2 on PSN. Is she in that?

Alpha 3.

I wonder what a Create-A-Fighter would be like in SSFIV. Soul Calibur and Mortal Kombat have done it, why hasn't Street Fighter? If anyone could pull it off right, it's Capcom.

The closest they came was the spirte colour editor in CvS2 which I never really used.

It could be pretty simple yet indepth as well. We select a body type, alter it slightly and apply hair, clothing, tattoos, scars or whatever else.

Then assign moves and inputs from a selection. Maybe allowing slight modifications such as changing the angle of a hadouken so it gentley curves upwards or making a Spiral Arrow that went totally vertical.

Utras would be cool to mix and match, creating whole new ones. For example, starting with Abels U1 which ends not with the throw but with the last kick from Guiles U1 that sends you into the air, finishing up with the electricution from Vipers U2. If they went "all out" they could have some original pieces for us to use.

Then we just select what grunts/screams best suits the character (no actual speech) and, if we wish, type up a victory quote for each opponent for wins in Arcade mode/Versus.

It'll never happen but I would have really liked to have seen it and I'd have gotten alot of use out of it.

Just a random little idea of mine.

I have an idea of how create-a-fighter could work in a 2D engine, but I rather not share that [here]. You're on the money, but my concept factors in priorities move that cross-matches with a ratio system that would take HP into consideration.

This sort of thing would need to be done in a whole new fighter, though. SSF4 is much too restrictive.

There was a game called Fighter Maker on the PS2 that allowed someone to create their own fighting game with programmable moves but it was in 3D and not 2D style and perspective.

Same company also ended up creating RPG Maker but neither game was that great to begin with.

I spent 24hrs in RPG Maker 2 making 15mins of gameplay.

Epic, detailed gameplay.

Never messed with Fighter Maker for a long enough time, but the options were weak from what I explored. The concept was too much for the console. They should have tried again.

I had the first RPG maker for the PS1 imported. I enjoyed it but never actually made any complete games. I did try to make my own primitive Pacman game using the tools.

I heard of Fighter Maker and always wanted to try it but never got it.

Whatever happened to these creative games? I loved them. Music 2000, RPG maker, Fighter Maker etc.

It's all Space Marines and WW2 these days.

Or space marines in WW2 if you're playing Darkest of Days.

Yeah, wish those games would come back around. Just think of them being combined with the current 'create-share-play' trend.

I am thinking of getting blazblue, along with my sticks. Anyone here still play that?

Khuntry maybe. Never got a chance to scoop it up. Continuum Shift is great, though.

Still need to get CS. Fucking missing out here.

Khuntry would annihilate me tho. That's not fun.

Funky, I demand you buy CS, because that's what I am getting.

He annihilates me, but that's how I'm able to annihilate others.

Blazblue is his shit.

God damn...

Juri wants you to buy the new costume pack today.

Alpha 3 Action:

Watch how the Ken player adapts to Guy's agility.

My god that Juni player...

Totally psyched out that Ryu at the end.

Oh hell yes. I've actually been using Adon and Ibuki a little more often, and I want to start learning Cody, so this is a great pack for me.

Anyone up for playing 2niiiiiiiite

Probly like 2 hours

meeeeeeeeeee

Alvarado, why the fuck did you leave so quick.

Yeah, you were doing pretty good.

Ugh. Wanted revenge for that Ryu vs Chun li match. Totally choked there.

NOT MY BEST WORK, LADS

At least Juri was beasting it.

The SF2 series is easily my least favorite SF series. Can't stand people saying "This is true SF" and shit like that. Ugh.

Mad I didn't see this last night. Still haven't played online with the new stick. Haven't had much time to play with it at all, really.

Was tired, just wanted to get a couple games in. don't worry, I have no doubts you can whoop my ass in that game nine out of ten times.

I've been watching some old saved fights today...me and funky have had some epic battles in the past. Our Abel vs Abel mirror match was crazy intense.

It's on right now, everybody.

Be there in a bit

Why can I not see the new DLC costumes in game? I can see all the other ones without owning them.

There is a new catalog to download. First one was only for the first three packs. It's free.

K I'm DLing it, then I'll be back in.

Basically useless if I'm not Bison still. Maybe Guile. Maybe.

Certainly still getting used to the new stick. Having trouble with charge motions about 25% of the time. Definitely haven't gotten the feel of it just yet.

Oh shit sorry, didn't see that message. Will still throw down some more if you want.

Fucking botched juri's ex air kick > Ultra combo like 4 times.

A day ago, I could hit that shit in my sleep. Dunno what happened.

Also, not to trash talk or anything, but throwing roxer 3 times in a row was the most blissful experience I've had since buying this game. Ah, sweet vengeance.

I should not be able to not touch this game for a solid month and a half and then come back and beat Khuntry, even if it was just once. <3 Guy.

Blitz, get back online and fight, damn you. Didn't even get to play against you.

At my girlfriend's. No Xbox.

criminey

Playing funky's brother if anyone wants in

I'll try and join you, if it doesn't lag out too bad.

Your Guy caught me by suprise.

Some are terrible, some are brilliant.

My god...

Yeah... because street fighter is all about the fucking cutscenes...

He has a point, I think SF4 was so much better realising that Gouken was sleeping on a rock for fucking years in full-screen HD.

Seriously though SFA2 was fucking hot.

I don't know what to say to that video.

lol all game guides were like that, black in the day. If you didn't know, you just made shit up.

Anyone down tonight?

Yeah bump

Might be on later. Phone keeps blowing up every 5 min today, but if I am on, my brother probably will too.

Not really SF related but sort of SF related. I don't want to put it in the 100,000 replies thread.

It's funny cos it's true.

That Juri anime is not coming to the US. Apparently there was no demand. Strange, being that they dubbed the trailer and localization would have been nice for the fans.

That's not the story I heard.
They (Capcom Europe) said before SSFIV even released that the anime wouldn't make it outside of Japan because the LE of the regular SFIV didn't sell well (even though every shop and site I visted was constantly sold out. I had pre ordered, luckily).

When people found this out, everyone kept asking over and over again for the anime to be released outside Japan. Capcom then said it wasn't being released because of "legal" issues.

I got this information from Ono himself, perhaps they're all part of the whole story. In any case it wasn't worth it to Capcom. Shame.

Looks like I can stop waiting and just watch a subbed version on YouTube later.

AE is out.

Yeah seen some vids of gameplay. Yun looks pretty versatile and Yang is okay. No sign of Dark Ryu and Shin Akuma, and there's rumors of other time released characters in the game.

I read somewhere, this morning, that Evil Ryu and Shin Akuma are just bosses and not playable. I can't remember where. Maybe Eventhubs.

That's understandable, if they're still balancing them for home release. Hopefully we get other characters.

On now. I'm being experimental tonight. Using the SF4 fight pad now.

While I can understand that for online, I'm not buying if I can't play as them at all.

Source.

No desire to buy a game I already own in 3d.

Gonna buy the hell out of this.

Not really big on fighters on Handheld systems. Just doesn't work for me.

Will you beable to play GBA games on the 3DS?

No. DS, DSiWare, Virtual Console and 3DS only.

hmmmmm suppose there is a chance GBA games could come to VC.

Or you could hang on to your GBA/DS/DS Lite.

Or you could get an emulator.

They confirmed that they would be doing that for the 3DS VC. Didn't they?

I'm buying SSFIV3D for sure, when I pick up the 3DS.

Still only rumored.

I reckon if it's coming, they'll announce it with the dates and price on Jan 15th.

3DS gameplay from four angles.

They seem to have added extra visual effects to Ryus Ultra.

Source.

Guessing he'll be announcing it's DLC and giving us a release date? I don't know what the SF x T thing will be, though. A new trailer, maybe?

Still hoping for a few more characters besides Yun and Yang.

Well, Ono tweeted this a while ago:

Source.

So we might get someone else. You never know.

Looks good for a handheld game. Would look much better on the actual 3DS, I'd imagine. I've preordered this along with the 3DS. I want OoT but there's no sign of it on the GAME website and I don't think I could afford both at once along with a 3DS.

I'm really hoping I get some use out of SSFIV3DE's other features like the trophy battle etc. I can't see it, myself.

Street Fighter on the go is reason enough, I guess. Bear in mind Arcade Edition DLC will be looming by the time this drops so practical training applications will be kinda moot, but it still looks good fun.
