So about that Super Street Fighter IV, eh?

I thought it was pretty rad!

 

I just want to know their plans for system changes. That seems to be the least talked about thing yet.

 

meh, hyper fighting is where its at!

Nice SFIII reference.

And yes, if you want to play a SF game, HF or ST (or even AE) is where it's at. But back to SSFIV.

Zero Chan, when you played as T.Hawk what was his command throw motion? If Capcom has kept the 270 motion for T.Hawk I'm fine with it, but if I see even more shortcuts for moves then I can't say that I'll be enthused for more SFIV. I know throw motions had a slight shortcut in SFIV but they still overlapped with jumping.

In HDR, Sirlin, who loves appeasing scrubs, added a shortcut for Hawk's command throw, so instead of 270, you could do hcf,b+p or hcb,f+p to get a stormhammer while standing. He also took out Hawk's (and Gief's) 720 motion for the SUPER and replaced it with hcb,hcb,f+p or hcf,hcf,b+p.

I can't stand shortcuts in SFIV and HDR. If Hawk's command throw input is dumbed down in SSFIV like it is in HDR the hype I have for SSFIV will diminish quite greatly.

And seeing as it is Capcom, expect insane imbalance, as usual. Shifts like 2I Sean to 3S Sean, or O.Sagat or CE.Dictator level stupidity, I'm betting on some character either getting incredible buffs or a near neutering in between games.

I dont think there will be anything as broken as CE dictator in CE, not talking about AE. In CE, dictator beats every character besides guile.

 

Great write up Zero-chan.

I went to a Capcom Fight Club event in NYC last month. I was hoping to try out the new characters in SF4 but the were only available on a demo unit that Seth was showcasing.

The worse part was they would only show 2 of the new characters for about five minutes every hour. I left after the second hour when I saw all three they had planned to show.

I know Capcom has another brand new fighter to add to the roster, a Middle-Eastern wrestler type. There also rumors that some more Alpha characters are to return (Adon, Cody, Guy) and even some SF3 characters (Dudley, Ibuki, Makoto). I hope to see more in the near future.

 

I don't think there are any aside from the wall bounce.

 

My view on this game

 

Hmmm what's wrong with simplified inputs, or rather - what's so good about difficult, often unintuitive combinations? I like the way it changes, it allows for more flexibility and less situations where you could get a throw in but it didn't properly buffer or whatnot. Then again, I have wooden fingers.

VF5R went that way also, incidentally . More mind, less fingers - count me in.

 

Adon, Cody, Guy are now confirmed. Ibuki looks to be in the game too but no real footage of her yet.

 

Too many characters can be very difficult to balance. Guess we'll see down the road.

 

Yeah, it'll prob be like most other SF's before this one, character A beats character B, character B beats character C, so on and so forth XD

 

footage / link?

 

They are in the latest issue of Famitsu Magazine. There is a two page spread featuring all three characters. There are also rumors of Rolento being another new character. Personally I just want Urien or Q and I'll be happy.

Thanks, dude, but it would be more awesome for a video.[/size]

 

You have any idea how tempted I am of making a video of nothing but that link and sending you that?

 

I'll tolerate and play the hell out of this game just because Guy is in it.

 

Fuck yeah

 

Now just needs Makoto and I'l be happy.

Is this actually getting an arcade release?
