    Default Street Fighter IV

    The reason for inactivity in the internet since August 2008. Played it for a long time in the arcades and now it's in the PS3/360. The game is hype, which doesn't really amount to much since it's the only decent fighting game in years. Fight against me on the PS3, PSN is Darkmeltdown. Get ready for your spankings people.

    I'm going to wait until either the PC version comes out or monsterparty gets his PS3 back.

    My roommate bought it the other day but I really don't care for fighters, so I probably won't end up giving it much of a try.

    I'm really impressed with SF4. The game seems to be really well balanced, with the majority of characters in the high and mid tiers. I also really like that Ryu plays more like he did in SF2/Alpha than 3rd Strike (Ken is still very 3s-ish, albeit not as strong... he's solid mid tier now). Bison (one of my mains) is really strong and plays like he did in SF2, before they made him clunky in the Alphas.

    Overall, I think they did a good job of mixing old school SF2 and SF3 play styles, and balancing depth for competitive players and newbs. My only issues so far is that they destroyed Honda (another of my mains) and there is some inconsistency between the HD Remix moves and these (Cammy's Hooligan roll and 360 movies, for example).

    It's certainly not ST (but then nothing ever will be), but it's damn fun and 'feels' very good.



    Also, Sagat is a beast.

    Shit tier in this game isn't as bad as Third Strike. I can still beat people off with EL Fuete. It's just that he takes too much precision and work to use correctly for the amount of damage I bring out.

    Not to mention that neither are fun to play with. I mess around with Guile and Cammy sometimes for fun, but I'm not going to use them in ranked matches, regardless of how good the balance is. It takes way too much work to play at the same level I can normally with my mains.

    It seems to be fairly balanced, especially compared to 3rd Strike. The worst match-up, as far as I know, is Sagat vs Vega at about 7:3.

    Why can't I run.

    Why can't I run.

    WHY CAN'T I RUN

    WHY

    CAN'T

    I

    RUN?!?!?!

    In every other fighting game that has ever existed, double-tapping on the directional control makes your character run. WHY DOESN'T MY CHARACTER FUCKING RUN WHEN I DOUBLE-TAP THE DIRECTIONAL CONTROL IN THIS GAME. WHY DO YOU DO A SHITTY JUMP TO THE SIDE THAT CANCELS OUT MY COMBO AND MAKES ME HAVE TO START OVER

    WHY

    WHY STREET FIGHTER 4

    WHY

    Oh, well SF isn't about mashing out massive combo strings and infinites, so there is really no reason to run. Dash is sufficient.

    Guilty Gear is probably the worst fighting game series.

    I could never get into GG. I think SF's deep, strategical game play ruined me on anything else though.

    Yeah. Just haven't been on the computer a lot and mostly time has been going into playing this and finishing up classes and finals. Placed in several tournaments around Texas and I'm practicing up for Evolution in Las Vegas in July.

    Only play it when I'm extremely bored or when my friends come over; and the only reason why that is is because I sold all my other games

    Still a shit ton a fun

    I'm not really playing 4 seriously; I'm an old ST player and that's still very much my game. Mostly playing online with SRK peeps or when friends come over. Luckily I have a handful of friends who play and are good, so local play is generally on point.

    I doubt I'll continue playing much after MvC2 comes out though.

    If anyone wants to get some practice in against Boxer, Rose, Dictator, Cammy, Akuma or Sagat hit me up on PSN: Jung504.

    Good luck at regionals. I'm probably going to try for regionals in Marvel next year. Haven't been since 01.
