Keep practicing.
|
Well looks like those dlc promises were just to guarantee strong sales and one up blazblue (who delivered on their [albeit pricey] dlc)
|
They never promised AE DLC. Super 4 sold on the strength of it being a great game.
|
A really good interview with Ono.
|
Ono can be a troll but he's a good guy with good ideas toward game design.

Video pulled. Notes:
- Will be DLC. - Reiterates Yun, Yang, E.Ryu, and Oni as new characters. - Players who do not purchase AE can still play against those who do. This means the balance update may be free but characters and replay enhancements will not. - Either way expect a major mandatory download. - Can "choose" which version (SSF4 or AE) to play - so there may be an option to downgrade from main menu. - Replay options pretty much address everything. - - Search function. - - Follow function, like a video twitter you automatically download a player's newest replay. - - File sharing, send replays to friends. - - Elite Channel, view replays of anyone above 3000pp. Not dated, but I'm thinking mid-Summer. |
It looks more and more likely those 4 are the only new characters. Wish there was at least one character to suit my tastes.
I like the sound of enhancements to the replay channel. |

I'd buy a new disc if they added a few more characters.
GOnna be so many Yuns online when this is out. I'm going for Yang. |
I foresee Yun getting nerfed when this goes global. No way they're letting him slide.

damn

They're pretty crazy. Khuntry's totally winning TPWW SF Tourny 3.

Anyone that wants to see the trailer again:

Nice of consoletech.net to put their logo over top of the text explaining all the features.
|
Same vid, no water marks. And some gameplay (presumably console):
NSFW: show 15$ DLC and a disc release. This is the final iteration of Street Fighter 4 before Capcom moves on. Thanks, Capcom! http://media.eventhubs.com/images/20...2_ssf4ae01.jpg |
3DS will get AE eventually.
|
Unlike the original Super, it's coming to PC. Probably grab that version on Steam.
Makes sense, since the arcade just runs Windows. |
Now, will this be like GTA DLC and the DLC disc where you can only play online with people that have the same format as you or will a AE disc player be able to play with an AE DLC user?
|
Everybody will be able to play together - the AE rebalance is free. What the buyers get are new replay features and the four new characters. Whether you have DLC or disc you can play against people with the update.
|
Fucking fuck, I was really hoping for a few new characters. Variations on ryu and akuma, and yun and yang (who are pretty similar themselves) Does not make me all that excited.
I'm actually anticipating the improvements to Makoto, more than the new characters. And I doubt that they are hiding any characters, because if there were any more characters, they would advertise them, not keep it a secret. |
God damn it, I want Alex and Karin.
|
No, just Karin.
|
Shut up, Alex is the man you wanker.
|
I'm sorry.
|
Been watching videos of Makoto and she's fucking brutal. Her lifebar is also up to 1000 now, so it's in line with the average character, and her output has been beefed up too. I've been able to get wins here and there, the way she is now. Got a feeling Funky and his bro are going to hate me using her come AE's release.
Yun and Yang look like they take a lot of damage, and don't have very high damage output at the same time. Outside of chun-li, I don't really use a lot of characters like that, so I dunno if they'll join any of my regulars. |
Yun is for cowards.
|
Never liked either of them. Sounds like abel is getting nerfed pretty hard. His second ultra in particular is taking some hits, which in all honesty, is fair, because that was the cheapest ultra in the whole game. Might go back to using his first, as it is fairly easy to combo into.
|
Gonna use E.Ryu because I need a new shoto.
|
E.Ryu just seems like ryu with akuma's teleport. Oni Akuma definitely feels more like a new character, though he does share similarities with Gouken.
|
E.Ryu is a shoto, all shotos are Ryu with a few different moves and properties. I've played Ken for ages, back when he really was a Ryu clone with a head sprite swap. The similarities don't begin to bother me. In fact I'm perfectly okay with SF4's shoto friendly roster. They all play differently enough to allow tactics to form. And E.Ryu has enough differences for me to pick him without thinking, "Oh well I should have been playing Ryu all along."
And thematically speaking, I dig the power trip. Classic Ryu is gay. |
Yeah, wasn't saying you should pick regular ryu. Just commenting on their similarities. I'll probably use him instead of ryu as well for the same "power trip" reasons. Guy just looks badass.
Are they going to be properly balanced for online play? I remember no one picking Sagat or Seth during Vanilla, cause it was considered a dick move. Hope it is not the same for these guys. |
Honestly I am happy that AE is the last of the updates for SF 4. This means ideas for SF 5 are probably going to start getting thrown around soon. I expect we won't hear anything til after SFxT's release, but you know it is coming. No way do they not follow up on the success of all this.
|
Actually Yun and Fei are the strongest by most accounts. E.Ryu and Oni haven't been out long enough for a final verdict. Other than that the game is still massively balanced. So I guess Yun and Fei are the new 'dick move' choices.
You can bet SF5 is coming sooner than 8/9 years, but it's behind a long assembly line. |
Needs Sean dammit.
I'd actually get over my hate of generic Tekken characters if he was in SFxT. |
How would Sean do that?

Just read now that the balance changes are free.
I'm confused, just have to wait I guess. |
Mortal Kombat just ripped this shits head off.
|
Now you're just embarrassing yourself
|
Violence and gore rules. :p
|
The rebalance is free so you can choose to boot up AE even if you just have S4, but without the 4 characters. This is how everybody can play together.
The option to downgrade is to appease bitches who didn't expect their favorite character being nerfed (Guile players I can sympathize with... a little). Since this is the end song of SF4 Capcom can care less, though AE will probably be the tourny standard as penultimate versions of fighting games tend to be. So be a good warrior and go with AE, kids! Jean Kalyx will! |
I'm glad you found a fighting game you enjoy, D Mac, but you may not find it easy getting us to understand placing MK above any of our favorite fighters.

Anyway, I'm not shitting on Mortal Kombat. The series has a goodish (some parts are fucking stupid) story which is surprisingly well developed for a fighter and has been reasonably fun since it hit the PS2. The problem is that multiplayer is ass because the games are not balanced. Some characters have a beastly set of moves and others are just kinda target practice dummies. I just would like them to focus more on gameplay (like they did this iteration) and less on "look at how much blood shoots out of his nose lol". Potential's always been there, but it's taken too long for the series to come this far. |
High-level Yang at a recent tourny! Evil Ryu action!

How many of you are getting a hard copy versus DLC?
|
Hmm... The way players of different versions (Super/AE) are connected is very gracious. There's no reason people can't play together so long as one of them has Super. I assume most will have AE anyway but it's a nice touch.
• There are no balance adjustments over the arcade version — it's just a port of that version. • Arrange costumes are not included with the game. This is true of both the download and disc versions. • The costumes that you purchased for the original version of Super Street Fighter IV can be used in Arcade Edition. • SSF4 and SSF4 Arcade Edition players can play against one-another. However, the gameplay falls back to Super spec in terms of characters, rules and balance [If an AE player plays a Super player]. • For matching, both PS3 and Xbox 360 players will need to download a free Super SFIV Update Kit, which is due for June 7, 2011. • Rankings will be split into Original and Arcade Edition. Your BP and PP will start off at zero in Arcade Edition. • Trophies/achievements will carry over from SSF4 into Arcade Edition. |

Need to get my xbox fixed so I can demolish funky and his bro with Makoto.
Sucks that those 4 are the only new characters. Absolutely no interest in yun, yang, and ryu, and only mild interest in oni. What a letdown. |
Yeah, hoping for two more.
|
I can't see it happening, though.
|
Pre-ordered on Steam today.
|
For those who wanted the Arcade Edition, some bad news concerning the DRM and trying to play the game when in an offline mode.
The DRM will restrict the amount of stuff in the game by over 50% and can even revert the game into a demo-like mode if you lag/disconnect from the servers and don't reconnect in time. Quote:
Its actually an improvement from their PSN and XBLA DRM that doesn't allow access to any downloadable titles if the network or the console itself is in offline mode (ex. Final Fight Double Impact). http://kotaku.com/5806134/drm-means-...-functionality |
PC gamers have it rough.
|
Yeah, been trying to cancel my pre-order since I read about this yesterday.
Will probably be the last Capcom game I ever buy. |
You're affected? Where are you from?
|
It's my flats ISP, it stays connected to XBox/GFWL for a maximum of 3 minutes before disconnecting.
I had a separate line for my 360, but it has my 360's MAC address so only that can use it. |
I'll tell you all about the game. :(
|
I might get around it by signing up for a VPN. Might end up ruining people with lag though.

|
Where's that posted? I'd love to respond.

|
Just posted this. Really hope it happens because Steam are being cocks about not cancelling the order.

For SoulCalibur and SNK fighters?

Is that tupperware?

yes

Capcom listened to complaints and fixed their DRM for the PC version of Super Street Fighter IV (with Arcade Edition included).
Before the game would lock out saving and multiplayer modes while restricting the roster to just 50% when played offline. Now Capcom only restricted the saving ability while leaving everything else untouched for offline play. http://www.giantbomb.com/news/capcom...-release/3298/ |
AE is up for download right now at 1200MSP.
|
I have a busted SSF4 disc around here. I'm gonna doctor it and see what I can do.

|
Sweet. I'ma go get it now then.
|
Messed with the game. I'm feeling E.Ryu and Yang. Yun can go fuck himself.
|
Working with Yang. I like. Oni is going to be a complete bastard in the hands of good players.
|
Damn, won't be able to get this for a while.
|
I don't feel a need to get it. Yun, Yang, Evil Ryu and Oni don't really excite me and I know online will consist purely of Oni and Evil Ryu.
I'm not paying £15 for that. |
There are a lot of changes to the other characters too. Makoto is almost brand new, thank christ.
|
Just waiting on the PC version to come out :(
|
Got it last night. Had a fight online against a Yand player while completely trashed. Destryoyed him with T. Hawk then fucked around in practice with Yun. Might definitely pick him up. Gonna fuck around with The other three before my boys get here.
|
Spent some serious time with Yang tonight. Palm stuffs a ton and has a far larger hitbox then you'd think, and Tenshin Senkyutai is a godly super. Fantastic for anti air, and even better against fireball spam. Do not try spamming from across the screen with a Ultra gauge'd Yang. You won't like the results.
The bad, he's got piddly damage and seemingly worse defense. I need to work with Seiei Enbu more. But there's definite potential. |
Wasn't going to get this but just picked up 4000 Microsoft points for $35 so I guess I'm getting it now.
|
and if you want the site let me know, but there probably won't be any in stock by the time you read this
|
Probably going to pick it up, but I want to make hella sure I want to spend fifteen bucks on this shit. Gonna watch a shitload of Peaceful Jay and Spooky streams to prove its worth.
|
Its not
I shouldn't have bought it |
The fuck is everyone. I'm back into this.
|
My life is a great big jumble rn, but when I'm online I'm either playing this or Oblivion.
Weird, was beasting with Yun when I tried him out. Can't do shit now. |

I want to hear the reaction of someone losing a close ranked match because of that glitch. See how much they "rage" about it.
