Title: Re: street fighter iv
Post by: Don Seer on October 28, 2008, 12:53:36 AM
130?! that must be for an arcade not 60 gig...

says 160 for an arcade here http://www.sainsburys.co.uk/shoppingandservices/entertainment/instore_electricals/game_consoles/game_consoles.htm




woolworths have a deal with midnight club los angeles for 170.. most places have them at 170 without a game..

Post by: Matty on October 28, 2008, 01:28:42 AM
nope sainsburys have actually been doing the arcade for £100! 60 gig premium where in-stock has been £140, not £130 my mistake. but still, thats damn good value. my friend got one with someones staff discount for under £120, crazy!

google it, it's definitely real though. should still be on i'd of thought 8)

oh crap. but it means there can't be any real price fixing on it. i'd expect some similar offers to crop up sooner rather than later 8)

yeah i think ms has given up on any hardware profit and is trying to extend their user base as much as possible this season given the gaining popularity of the ps3. they make enough money on games, downloadable content, live subscriptions, extra controllers, etc etc...

not to mention that stupid wireless adapter is priced fixed to hell over £50. that thing is surely the biggest rip-off going...

sf II (mame) or Sf III 3rd Strike  (capcom emu)

pc to old school xbox controller convertor -> old school xbox arcade stick

or

pc to ps1 controller convertor  -> ps1 dual shock :)


old controllers kick ass :)

which to god i could use the arcade stick on a 360

not to mention that stupid wireless adapter is priced fixed to hell over £50. that thing is surely the biggest rip-off going...

yeah i saw that.. what a con!

picked up my xbox today... not allow to touch it till xmas though.. got it for 170 in woolworths with midnight club los angeles..

You should have been around when the days of M.A.M.E was strong...With Street Fighter Alpha 3, Marvel Vs Capcom, clan battles, it was alot back then.


Ahhh the good ol' days.

We need to arrange some matches when SFIV comes out as well as HD Remix.

I don't even like video games, but I do like street fighter.  I'm stoked its coming out on PC cuz I don't have an xbox or playstation.  Does anyone know if SFII Turbo HD remix is available for PC?

bought this yesterday... its cool but im a little dissapointed to be honest... its just like a slower version of street fighter 2 turbo with 3d like graphics...

may take some getting used to... im getting better and enjoying it a little more... but not totally impressed like i was expecting to be.

I've retired from video games but i'm curious about it.  Does it have Dudley & Akuma?  And why in the world do they have sorry Dhalsim on there still?  Its the 4th one, move on to some new characters.  Get rid of the dead weight characters.

And marvel vs. capcom is way better than street fighter.  Main time i'll check out an arcade anywhere if someone plays it.

now that i have played it for a few days... it has gotten better... but i dont see this ever becoming better than what street fighter 2 was at the time it was released.... me and my friend that always play street fighter 2 turbo til this day... on the SNES and now on the HD Remix  were playing part 4 and we had a good time but not like we do on the HD remix... but non the less it is new and im sure with time it will grow more on us... i have unlocked all the characters besides the last dude.

I meant to say marvel vs. capcom 2.  I've seen capcom vs. SNK.  If you're referring button mash as doing them 10-30 hit combos, I wouldn't care.  I wish I could do that.  Don't know how people can do that :eh:

That 10-30 hit combo shit is far from button mashing actually, that shit takes skill and a lot of practice. The Marvel vs. Capcom series is cool, but not exactly my cup of tea.

Haven't tried SF4 yet. I guess it looks pretty cool, but I'm partially on board with the statement about the old characters. Some are series staples and absolutely belong there - Ryu, Ken, Chun Li - and it's cool to see a lot of my favourites return as well, like Sakura, Sagat and Gen (although I never could play for shit with Gen, but I liked the character). A lot of the old ones are tired as hell though - Dhalsim, Zangief, E. Honda - really? Then again I didn't like those guys back when SF2 came out, so I guess it's not surprising I don't like 'em now.

Plus I don't understand why they didn't include any characters from SF3. I want my Ibuki.

I think they played this one real safe and went with a really safe roster that would automatically appeal to the old SF2 fans. I know for a fact that Capcom wasn't even sure if there was a big market for this type of fighter (i.e. old-fashioned 2D-plane fighter) anymore (since SF3 failed to reach popularity despite being an awesome fighting game), and making SF4 was somewhat of a risk. But now that there obviously is a market for it, and if they do what Capcom are known to do and release SF4 a bunch of times with revisions and character additions between versions, then I guess they'll bring back some SF3 characters as well. Only time will tell though.

Oh and Rufus - where the hell a fat mofo like that would be from if NOT the US? I mean, c'mon - you got a lot of fatties over there.

lol!!

Im actually cool with all the old characters.  Im kinda that way though. When I like somethin, I dont wanna see too much changed.  Im not a fan of any of the newer characters. And why the fuck is there a lucha libre wrestler? lol Cmon.  Wrestling is cool and all, but it IS fake fighting.

I liked Zangief & the spinning piledriver :)  Too bad I couldn't master it :(  I liked Thunder Hawk & his copter choke slam.  That was real sick on the SF2 super turbo, the superpower.  Yes SF3 was very good.  Dudley is that dude on there.  Him & his corkscrew punch.  I feel some people gotta learn how to like someone else for a change.  Does anyone hate it in the past when there's a new game with brand new characters on the capcom fighting games like the SF3, the xmen marvel vs. capcom games & the only players some people only wanna use is Ken & Ryu?  And oh yeah, FUCK KEN & RYU!  Especially the way most fools be using them.  I swear those 2 characters took the fun out of Street Fighter.  When it 1st came out in 91, most people began using Guile, Chun Li & Blanka.  And when everybody knew how to do the uppercut, they never wanna use anyone else but Ken & Ryu >:(

Was I the only one who wanted 2 jack somebody up or pull a gun on fools who kept doing tactics with them 2 that made your blood boil?
I know 1 tactic with Honda I hated, I know how to use him good without resorting to the bear hug & the moving handslap thereafter.  I'm probably the only person on the planet who can do that.  I prefer the kneelifts.

What I couldn't stand about Guile users?  Always putting their heads down through the whole game just to set up the razorkick, canadians call it the jackknife.

Those pale to comparison to Ken & Ryu users.  Don't really wanna bring them up cause they bring back horrible memories :(  but did anyone feel the same way?  Real cheap ways 2 win. 
1.  Hate this the most but that constant down & short junk :scarface:
2.  They thow fireball & when you jump past the fireball & they sweep you where you land >:( >:(
3.  When you attempt to do an air attack to ground combo they sweep you & disrupt it >:( >:(
4.  They throw fireballs & when you jump at them they do roundhouse kick, or jump up kick or jump forward kick >:(
I know there are more things but maybe i'm doing my best to block them out of my head. 

Apologize for the added rant.

The players fought on the ground.  Zangief doing them moves on the ground, you can't fake the pain.  Power bomb, german suplex, especially the double.  Suplex & of course ....THE SICK SPINNING PILEDRIVER!

I totally feel you on that.

I'm not gonna lie, I like playing Ken a fair bit, but playing just one character gets boring real fast. Never use Ryu though. I always felt he's somehow a cheap character to use. (Though I totally think that Ryu is a character that shoudl be there, like I said, because he's a staple character). And it gets boring as hell too when your opponent only uses Ken/Ryu. Yeah yeah, you've "mastered" them or whatever, but just have fun with it and try something else for a change, OK? SF3 and the Marvel VS. games had all these cool characters in there and mofo's still always went the Ken/Ryu way. I've never really bothered to even try to really master any of the fighters, but rather have a good variety of characters I can use at least adequately. More fun that way, in my opinion.

I'm not feeling all of the new dudes in the lineup, but I'm gonna give a couple of them a try. Personally I would've liked more new or more rare characters in the mix. Replace a couple oldies with SF3 characrters (Ibuki!!!), maybe some Alpha dudes (I would've liked to see Guy in there), and add a couple new ones. The total amount is fine as it is. Just change 4 or 5.
