So Street Fighter 4 comes to consoles next week
 

Anyone else excited? I've played it a couple of times in an arcade near here but I can't fucking wait to get my greasy paws all over it.



Semi-related awesomeness. The most ridiculous thing I've ever seen in Street Fighter 3 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0pemlKXKQXM

Don't have a 360 (too many red rings of death, don't want to waste my time) or a PS3 (too expensive, no good games on it aside from Disgaea 3 and that strategy game by the people who made Skies of Arcadia and Littlebigplanet), but this would be reason # 33 to consider getting .. uh .. a 360, if I had to choose. I'm a great Street Fighter 2 player with M. Bison, I actually got to the semi-finals in a huge tournament in Florida. Though I really prefer puzzle games (I won a Puzzle Fighter championship at the same convention), Street Fighter 2 is amazing and I've been playing it for a good 15 years now, at least. I've very excited for this, and all my friends will buy it so I'll be playing it with them at least.

Oh, thanks for that video. Super block and then a super!!

one of the reasons why i bought an xbox 360. im pretty excited for it.

I hope we have some PS3 owners here getting it as well. I'm buying the collector's edition for SF4 on the PS3 and then if I can find a used copy for the 360 later I'll get it.

i've never met anyone who can beat me on street fighter 2

I wish this was on PS2.
I want a PS3.
But again I'm waiting for 2 things:
better backwards compatability
and pricedrop.

better BC won't happen with the PS3. If you can hunt down a launch model, then you'll get 100% BC but otherwise they phased that out. As for a price drop, I believe May is the anticipated price drop time for the PS3.

same. on snes.
and only when i'm the girl.

I've been playing ridiculous amounts of Street Fighter 2 as Chun Li lately. Bitches don't know 'bout my spinning bird kick

did you know she can do hadouken??? i've only seen her do it like twice.
but she can.
how crazy is that shit.

doesnt she know thats a mans power?

I find it hard to believe they can't perfect this. Launch models weren't 100% but they were close. This is because of Hardware emulators. Newer models use software emulators, which are less reliable.

I just like that one Street Fighter that had the E. Honda glitch that would inch him forward during his hundred hands slap.

HERE COMES THE TRAAAAAIN!

Better Than You -- She sorta has a Hadouken, it's a bit slower though. It's usually charge back, then forward +punch

noisereductions -- They've stopped going for BC. The BC with the launch models was 100% perfect because they built a PS2 in the PS3. They stopped with any BC now because it's too much of a hardware loss for them to justify.

pbradley -- Honda was such a broken character back then haha. I always loved playing as him against my buddies who were much better and just abusing that move to piss them off.

That was SFII Turbo, but it wasn't a glitch

I understand that. I'm saying if they spent some time, they could get the software emulation working way better. Or more than likely, some homebrew coders will accomplish this.

Possibly, but as it sits they aren't even bothering with emulation soft apps for the PS3 from an official standpoint. Which pisses me off since there are quite a bit PS2 games I really want to play right now =\

PS2 is one of the greatest consoles ever. So I'm not looking to replace it, only to upgrade it.

During the previous gen I was only a Gamecube owner. I've seen acquired an XBox and PS2 but neither of which are at my current place. At my current house I only have the current gen consoles (PSWii60) and my Dreamcast. I really want to play some Metal Gear Solid 2 though =\

Isn't that a bit like saying you don't like blowjobs? I mean, even if it's true, you really shouldn't say it in public.
