Your Paragon of Virtue Posted February 17, 2009 Report Posted February 17, 2009 How legit is that tier? Vega also is one of my favourites to use, but it would suck if he sucked.
Broward83 Posted February 17, 2009 Report Posted February 17, 2009 Thoth, I'll play you on Wednesday and I expect to get my ass kicked but maybe I can get a round or two in. I should be on around 4 or 5pm CST for anyone who's got the game... which I don't know how many it'll be since I think only a few Gamestops got the game early and maybe a few other places. I just know our DM was making us talk it up like a huge deal that we're getting the game today and not tomorrow.
Thoth Posted February 17, 2009 Report Posted February 17, 2009 How legit is that tier? Vega also is one of my favourites to use, but it would suck if he sucked. I also, refuse to believe that Vega is shit tier, but from what I've seen, Sagat really is the best in this game so far. Console characters aren't really tiered yet. The official strategy guide tiers them, but that list was already picked apart, and the guy who put it together just kinda shrugged his shoulders, saying "I just wanted to show the noobs what a tier list looks like."
Use Your Illusion Posted February 17, 2009 Report Posted February 17, 2009 The reports of the MadCatz arcade sticks being defective pieces of shit do not surprise me at all. MadCatz produce the shittiest of the shit when it comes to video game accessories, I can't imagine why people are forking over their money for that crap. I haven't heard anything bad about the Hori sticks, so that might be the way to go.
dubq Posted February 17, 2009 Report Posted February 17, 2009 My PS2 HORI is the best controller I've ever purchased. I love that thing!
Jer Posted February 17, 2009 Report Posted February 17, 2009 Yeah, I've had nothing but good experiences with Hori sticks. I bought a Tekken 4 Hori back in 2002 and have put thousands of hours on it, and it still works well. The Fighting Sticks are a great deal, too, $50 for a seriously quality stick. Why people would pay more than that for a MadCatz peripheral confuses me as well.
muzz Posted February 17, 2009 Report Posted February 17, 2009 I'm actually pumped for this game and I haven't played a fighting game for years. Probably since playing Mortal Kombat 1 and 2 plus Street Fighter 2 at my cousins place.
EricMM Posted February 18, 2009 Report Posted February 18, 2009 And where are these $50 Hori sticks available?
Broward83 Posted February 18, 2009 Report Posted February 18, 2009 Re Hori's: We had a few at my store but sold out due to demand for a fightstick for SF IV. Pretty good quality stick from the bit I played on it. The 6button pad I picked up yesterday works like a gem. Sure its wired and all but it just feels natural for me and I'm not having to try and hit bumper buttons or triggers. Having never played with Sakura...let me just say that's a fast little bitch and her shoryuken is underated. Thoth, I fully plan on getting my ass handed to you tonight so try to go a bit easy, kay?

I'll try to ease up. Maybe play some new characters.
The Flamboyance Posted February 18, 2009 Report Posted February 18, 2009 Got SF4 and I think it's pretty cool, but damn is the new theme song fucking lame.
Jer Posted February 18, 2009 Report Posted February 18, 2009 And where are these $50 Hori sticks available? http://www.amazon.com/PS3-Fighting-Stick-3...3548&sr=8-2 Heh, looks like Amazon themselves sold out since I bought one two weeks ago. I guess there's lots of demand for them now that SF4 is out...
AndrewTS Posted February 18, 2009 Report Posted February 18, 2009 I'd heard that the MadCatz new sticks were *not* POS, unlike....all their other products in the past. Has anyone respectable done a full-blown review of the SF4 model?
The Flamboyance Posted February 18, 2009 Report Posted February 18, 2009 Man, Seth is fucking CHEAP as fuck. Took me a while to beat him.
Hawkius Maximus Posted February 19, 2009 Report Posted February 19, 2009 Someone tell me about SF4's multiplayer. I'm not overly interested in playing with random people (I don't like playing "cheap" as I call it. I thus get murdered) but one of the best features of SF2 Turbo Remix was the Arcade thing, where everyone was in a room together, could watch the matches, and then step in as the next challenger. Is that in this game? How about tournaments? Basically, anything in Remix with expansions to it.

However, if you're on XBL I will treat you extra special. There is no Player Match like HD Remix. Capcom has hinted that will be in a patch. As far as tournaments go, I think those will be in the Championship DLC that's coming for free in a few months.
-DeN- Posted February 19, 2009 Report Posted February 19, 2009 @AndrewTS: Tier List~! Top: The MadCatz Tournament Edition and Hori Real Arcade Pro are both legit sticks. The former was way oversold and just about the only way to get one is the old ebay gouge, but last I heard the HRAP is still gettable. Not Top: The MadCatz Standard Edition would probably be a step above the $50-60 Horis if not for the fact that a signifigant number of people who have them are reporting all kinds of defects. My friend has had one of those little Hori EXs for a long time and while not my cup of tea, at least it works.
Broward83 Posted February 19, 2009 Report Posted February 19, 2009 I heard at work today the 69 dollar MadCatz sticks we're selling have a washer in them that's wearing down already so.. yeah.. Re Seth: Yeah, he's a cheap little fuck.

Broward83 Posted February 19, 2009 Report Posted February 19, 2009 You can fight people in ranked or unranked matches. You can host matches against friends and have them destroy you with Vega or Zangief. Oh...and the games audio is 10x better with the Japanese audio.

EricMM Posted February 19, 2009 Report Posted February 19, 2009 Can I just say that the 360's pad is BAD and makes charging supers VERY hard to pull off? I shall say it. Also I had to go to the manual to understand the super bars and why certain times I would just get plowed through (those MK+MP moves) Still takes some getting used to, how do I unlock characters?
The Flamboyance Posted February 19, 2009 Report Posted February 19, 2009 I think beating the game with specific characters will do it. I unlocked Sakura after beating it with Ryu, then unlocked Dan after beating it with Sakura. Got nobody when I used Ken or Dan.
EricMM Posted February 19, 2009 Report Posted February 19, 2009 Cheats. I beat it with Ken. Does that mean Sakura is Ryu's "rival" to be unlocked? How Tekken 2-esque. Not that I'd be able to do many, Sagat whomped my ass many, many times, until I cracked the manual and figured out the super-moves system.
dubq Posted February 19, 2009 Report Posted February 19, 2009 You can fight people in ranked or unranked matches. You can host matches against friends and have them destroy you with Vega or Zangief. Oh...and the games audio is 10x better with the Japanese audio. Is there an option in the American version to pick a Japanese or English audio track?
dubq Posted February 19, 2009 Report Posted February 19, 2009 Seriously. That's usually the thing for me that decides whether I get an import or a localization.
EricMM Posted February 19, 2009 Report Posted February 19, 2009 In fact you can pick and choose which character gets to use USA vocals or JAP vocals. Maybe Guile has a bad ass VO in the American dub, I dunno. It's UNLIKELY, but its possible!
dubq Posted February 19, 2009 Report Posted February 19, 2009 That's actually pretty cool! Ideally I'd like to have both.. I just hate it when they remove the Japanese track from a game. It really serves no purpose to do something like that (Koei games I'm lookin' at you)!
Obi Chris Kenobi Posted February 19, 2009 Report Posted February 19, 2009 Getting this tomorrow - after what seems like a childhood and then some, I'm finally excited about a beat 'em up. Hope its good!
