This game is ****ing awesome!

Wish they'd stock some of the fightpads in my area.

**Saulbadguy** · 02-18-2009, 09:17 PM

Bummer that the 360 pads are wired.

**QuikSsurfer** · 02-18-2009, 10:25 PM

I'm shocked at how well the online play is.
I'm 3-0 so far in ranked

Who wants some?

Honestly, I'm having no problems with the standard 360 controller on this game. Seems much more forgiving than ST2HD.

I need 6 face buttons though.

Yeah, i want a joystick bad. To much though for an arcade stick. Think when i get my 360 back, going to trade in Fallout 3 and buy SF4 used for the 360. Just pay the difference. lol

eh, the only ones that make me a little pissy are Abel, becuase of his same ass throw and Seth, if he wants to win he will, rest are pretty easy to beat.

**Saulbadguy** · 02-20-2009, 05:04 PM

Seth ****ing pisses me off, even on easy.

This.

Anyone unlock all the characters yet?

Fishpicker · 02-22-2009, 04:19 PM

anyone playing the challenge trials? its good for learning manual combos but some of those are ridiculously hard. so far I have Sagat and Ryu beat (normal & hard trials)

kcxiv · 02-22-2009, 04:42 PM

I have 3 more characters to unlocked. I unlocked most lastnight. Seth is a bitch though. Sometimes no matter what you do, he will win. hah Getting the last few guys may take a while, but getting to Seth isnt the problem for me, its beating him on the first try thats going to be tough. lol

XXXshogunXXX · 02-22-2009, 05:30 PM

I just unlocked every character except Seth, even Gouken. I had to put it on easiest, on 1 round though, or it wouldve taken forever. Kinda killed my SF dignity that way, but I had to get Akuma and Gouken. Now that he's unlocked, Gouken was all hype. No shrryouken, only in his ultra. I thought he'd be the master of the shryouken. He looks different from what I thought he'd be.

Seth is a punk, beating him on easy is no problem. But it's impossible beating him on hardest. His moves become unblockable and he's unbelievably cheap. You only have to beat him 1 round though, cuz he kinda gives you the 1st.

Went ahead and ordered that. I need a stick.

XXXshogunXXX · 02-26-2009, 01:44 AM

whoooo...I just beat Seth on hardest. Finally. I gave the game a few days break and me and a friend started playing. I got hyped and whooped Seth's ass. I just had to get this out there. I even watched the credits in its entirety, and unlocked arcade rat, whatever that is. My life is complete.
