| It's almost here, is anyone plan on picking it up? |
| I'm leaning towards no, but normally I'll have my RPGs which I'd beat - then I'd play an online game or fighting game between my next game that can actually end. Since I do not have a filler game right now - I probably will get it or~ I voted no because I am thinking of just picking up Street Fighter 3: 3rd Strike. While the focus attacks seem great; I've never seen players really use it to cancel things much. Parry seems much nicer. |
| I'm leaning more on yes but till I know what the control system is like for the PC, I probably won't be getting it. There's a small chance I'll still get it though... even if getting the PC version means doing some serious keyboard-mashing. |
| Maybe. I've got other games on my priority list before SFIV. |
| I am getting SFIV for sure.. Waiting a long time for it's release date and I have already ordered one at the gamestore |
| I've had the game pre-ordered for a couple of weeks and my roommate and I are planning to play it. SF4's actually going to be my first Street Fighter because my parents wouldn't let me play SF2 when I was younger and I can't really remember seeing SF3 in arcades anywhere. |
 |
| Yeah, I'll be picking it up. Eventually. |
| Yeah, I eventually will pick it up (360) with possibly the Akuma gamepad. |
| ^ You have NO chance of that happening. Go get yourself a freeloader and import Capcom Vs tatsunoko instead. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tatsunoko_vs._Capcom |
| MY FIGHT MONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEY! |
| I see this as a rental until it drops in price. No way in hell will I pay 60 bucks for any fighter. |

| Rehash of SFII Turbo? No thanks, I'll stick to SFIII:3rd strike. |
| I'll eventually get it. BlazBlue is superior in every aspect though. |

| Just get HD Remix and save yourself $45. |
| Rehash of SF2Turbo???? What the hell are you guys on about, it's nothing like it. The pace and play style is completely different. |
| MY FIGHT MONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEY! |
Karura said: I'll eventually get it. BlazBlue is superior in every aspect though. Blazblue and SF4 are absolutely nothing alike except for the fact that they're fighting games. One is not superior to the other. All the crap about "Rehash" and stuff about buying HD Remix or 3rd strike is stupid because of the same thing - three separate games; they don't even play alike. But I guess if you're looking at things from the "HELL YEAH IM GONNA MASH BUTTONS LIKE CRAZY AND WATCH COOL THINGS HAPPEN" then I can see where you're coming from. (and yes, I'll be buying SF4 as soon as I get a console to play it on..) |
 |
| You're either kidding yourself or haven't played the arcade version if you don't think SF4 plays similar to Super Street Fighter II Turbo. There isn't a big enough change to warrant $60. |
| All 2d fighting games have similar gameplay. You're in denial if you think otherwise. Sure there are minor differences, but scraping it down it's the same fundamental formula. similar =/= the same |
| PS3 CE and 2 TE FightSticks on pre-order (hopefully both sticks come through around launch), and if I can actually find an Akuma FightPad, will pick one of those up as well (but for PC use). And I'm not even going to bother responding to the ridiculous notion that SFIIT is the same thing. |
"You live and learn. At any rate, you live." ~Douglas Adams (RIP) |
| I don't mind if SF4 is simple or not or like SF2 Turbo or not. I wanted a HD fighter on 7th gen, but apparently this won't be it. BlazBlue eventually <3~~ THE WHEEL OF FATE IS TURNING REBEL 1 ACTION |

Nuge said: I want BlazBlue too, but that is not coming to NA anytime soon... I dunno... I am not one for settling with the thing I want least. Even Guilty Gear XX AC Plus is coming in spring. Would you play SF4 over AC+@@;;;;?!! [coming to Wii></PS2^_^/PSP@@;;;;] Every time I watch this though - http://www.gametrailers.com/player/44551.html I kind of want SF4 ><. Don't troll me too hard, okay =)~~ |

| I never got into ST/HDR so I doubt I'll be picking it up. SF was never appealing to me (game seems largely yomi and hitconfirm). Prefer those ridiculously difficult combo links like GG/MB/BB/HNK and okizeme setups and guard break blockstrings. |
| BlazBlue's release date is still TBA. But a lot of people are already expecting a release during Fall this year. |
Massaki said: BlazBlue's release date is still TBA. But a lot of people are already expecting a release during Fall this year. OMGOGMOGMGOMGOMGOGMGOMGOMGOMGOGM OMG <3 Even if it doesn't turn out to be true - that would be the greatest thing ever ><~~ Perfect Birthday Present~~~ Still - only game for 2009 so far I think I'll get is Ar Tonelico 2 [which I already got]. If BlazBlue really came out - it would save the year for me <3~~~~~ Wahhh wahhh ;-;. Even if it is Japan only; I'd play-asia it! Unless they make the game region specific ;-; (do PS3 games even have that or is it only 360?). |
Karura said: All 2d fighting games have similar gameplay. You're in denial if you think otherwise. Sure there are minor differences, but scraping it down it's the same fundamental formula. similar =/= the same Indeed, and note that I never once anywhere said they where the same. There just isn't a big enough change from SFIIT -> SF4 to warrant the money. SFIII Added a TON of new shit to warrant it's purchase, including an entirely new cast aside from the main characters, parrying, leap attacks, ect. It was it's own game where SF4 feels like Street Fighter II with a new coat of paint. The chunks of legitimately new content in SF4 seem few and far between in comparison. |
| Eh, I've played a fair amount of SF4 already. Honestly, not a huge fan. I can see why David Sirlin, a top tournament pro and lead designer of HD Remix, dislikes it. Wonky meters, strange acceleration on the jumps, plus they don't go far enough horizontally, and are too high vertically. There's also questionable balance in terms of the characters (Sagat, anyone?), and some very handwavey cancels and counters to them. I'll probably save my money and more importantly, the few hundred hours I would have spent trying to get my Guile up to solid tournament caliber, heh. Edit Anyone who thinks SF4 and Super Turbo/HD Remix are even REMOTELY SIMILAR games probably shouldn't be playing fighting games to begin with. I mean, wow. If you think fighting games have anything to do with cast of characters or visuals, then it's clearly not the genre for you. |
| Well. Knowing how Aksys got their own translation of the BlazBlue Arcade Machine pretty quick, they might make a simultaneous release. It'd be great if that really happened, but then, Europe would get screwed over cause there's no Aksys/Arcsys over here. 505 Games takes too much time to release Arcsys' games. Regarding the region lock, the system itself isn't. But, the games might be locked so that they only work in a specific region. Fortunately, Japan doesn't even care to lock most of their games, so most of them are region-free. 360 owners get screwed tho. Also, for people wanting BlazBlue to get released in the 360 might get their hopes crushed. As Microsoft doesn't put much consideration into niche fighting games. |

A completely brand new Street Fighter game being released in an almost-once-in-a-decade type of event, so I have no qualms about splurging a bit for it. And I don't really intend to get much of anything else during the month of February anyway (Flower off PSN is about it aside from SFIV). |

| God forbid us thinking SF4 and ST have remotely similar styles should allow us to play fighting games! I mean the movesets are completely different, after all. |
| If a tournament pro guy of a past version says it is bad - I'll generally take their word instead of see for myself. I should have listened to the people playing Brawl who were good at Melee before I wasted 50 dollars. |
| Already got the Japanese version but, I have the us version pre-ordered as well :p ZEPHYR0US said: Just get HD Remix and save yourself $45. wow, did you really just say that? |

Rikuna said: If a tournament pro guy of a past version says it is bad - I'll generally take their word instead of see for myself. I should have listened to the people playing Brawl who were good at Melee before I wasted 50 dollars. If there's an arcade you can check out w/ SF4 then it would be a great idea to just get a feel for the basic mechanics, of course. Also match videos (youtube, nico, etc) of "high level play" to see how the game plays out. Watching a promo video showcasing each character's supers doesn't really say much about the game, except for the sprites. Of course, CMVs are a great motivation to play games that require tight execution if you're into that kinda stuff... http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x67f85_nostalgia_videogames I guess everyone has a different reason why they like certain FGs. |
| Eh - I watched a lot of videos even ones of supposed good guys playing. Didn't really seem too technical not like they kept canceling everything with focus attacks for mindgames. Already decided I'll get Guilty Gear XX AC Plus for this (next) season or zero fighting games at all. |

On Amazon Turbo is 4 dollars used@@; SF4 is 60 dollars@@; And look at EVO now - SF3 isn't there anymore? I haven't researched recently, but I remember in summer it wasn't; Guilty Gear wasn't there either. Or did I confuse something? |

DeltaPlus said: Even the pathtetic tourney heads agree with it being a poorman's version of Turbo. 5 years down the line, SFIII will still be the main event at EVO. I'm not a huge fan of SF4, but you do realize that Third Strike is one of the most hated games in SF history, and most pros ignore it? I mean, talk about the worst possible example to make your point... Besides, I think the biggest entries in recent years at EVO have been for MvC2, correct me if I'm wrong. |
| I'm getting this game def |
ShaolinRibiero said: Indulge you in what? They're not even remotely similar. What else do you want me to explain? How an orange is different from an apple, even though they're both fruits? You can keep repeating yourself about how they aren't similar all you want but until you back it up your post means nothing. SF4's engine is just expanding on SFII, it's ridiculous to think there aren't any similaritys. Everyone seems to think they have a lot in common. The game has a very similar feel to Super Street Fighter II Turbo, but also has several features from Street Fighter III 3rd Strike. http://streetfighter.wikia.com/wiki/Street_Fighter_IV Despite the 3-D graphics, Street Fighter IV is still a 2-D fighting game, and indeed, it plays very similar to the older Street Fighter titles, although with some modern improvements. http://www.worthplaying.com/article.php?sid=59395 The overall basic structure of Street Fighter IV feels like an attempt to carefully mix elements from the Third Strike and Super Turbo engines. http://www.1up.com/do/previewPage?cId=3166483&p=10 I can go on, but I think you get the point. |

Wow, congratulations on copying a few links which are nothing more than public relations hype trying to show that SF4 is closer to the gold standard classics like Third Strike and Super Turbo than the first game people thought of...Street Fighter EX. Better yet, THEY DON'T EVEN SUPPORT YOUR POINT. Third Strike and Super Turbo couldn't possibly be more diverse, so if a game mixes the elements of both, then it's pretty fucking different, no? Christ, at least play the game first, and only then make your exaggerated and incorrect claims. |

If you say "the world is flat!", you're the one who has to provide a shred of evidence for that, not me. Breaking it down to the basics it's a 2D, 6 button layout fighter with super combos like SFIIT but with a few new uninteresting gimmicks tacked on. If you think this isn't true then explain. ShaolinRibiero said: Third Strike and Super Turbo couldn't possibly be more diverse, so if a game mixes the elements of both, then it's pretty fucking different, no? Different?

I've had my time with it, albeit not as much as I'd like since it's constantly being used. |

| Your basis of them being similar is that they're both 2D, use a 6 button layout, and have supers? Seriously? |
