I can do either, though i’ll need a consensus so I can request the day off. Maybe things have changed recently, but back when I was buying games the tuesday release date often meant you couldnt pick it up until wednesday. Is that still true?
No, it comes out Tuesday. You pick it up Tuesday. If you really wanted, you could go to Walmart at midnight on Monday to even get it as they put it on the shelves.
Nice music choice Kyle, can’t wait to see the full thing. I posted the preview in the FGD combo video thread for you if you don’t mind, get it out there a bit.
I think I’ll go get it at midnight.
I can bring a set up to Nates if need be
>>Stephan
Yes please spread this out
lol dont get too hyped, im rusty as balls and i wasnt retarded good in the first place.
I’ll be trying to get it at midnight, although just to warn you guys. A lot of walmarts won’t stock it til 6 am and tell you “Their shipment hasn’t come in yet” which is total horseshit and they’re just being lazy.
I remember trying to get Rock Band 2, I went to three different walmarts. Two gave me the bullshit answer and at the last one the guy made me look like an idiot by making me explain which game I was looking for and how it worked even though he knew what I was talking about but he actually did give it to me.
BTW Adam, calling it now unless Makoto has a solid reversal Makoto/Fei is probably going to be in Fei’s favor due to the old HKCW being back…I just have a feeling…or maybe that is just blind hope. It doesn’t matter T.HAWK BABY. SPD’s from two characters away? Yes, please.
On a related note, The week of SSFIV will we playing that Friday or Saturday or both? Do Ranbats start…whats up with that…I need to know in advance for work related issues…
Also, Nate I’m totally serious about the booze. I’ll need it for the Juri/Hawk matches./cry
That might be your Walmart. Mine back home always had shit stocking late. I had FF8 and Tekken 3 years ago at like 12AM or whatever time my mom got to the store when she got off work.
GGs to all the people I got a chance to play at tekko and congrats to the winners. I need to get more games with the Pittsburgh crew. Maybe I’ll see you all at ECTD.
Gamestop isn’t having a midnight launch for SSF4.
I can wait until Wednesday not a big deal.
Well is there anything going on Wednesday night for us, I think a launch party is in order.
Very very cool stuff Kyle. Also, Ken is just looking so weak in SSF4.

Yeah, “Release party” at Nate’s that Wednesday so people don’t gotta leave at 11/12 and we can probably play until Nate kicks us out.
I think we should have more Sunday night Magic like yesterday :tup:
Tekko was good stuff, I think the t6 3v3 and jake getting drunk was the highlight of the weekend. I don’t know why people watched my first blazblu match but it was fun to hear some talk. Sucks that HDR didn’t get any play on saturday but friday was fun ggs to everyone. Hopefully all the face smashing and flyers will bring some new people out to play.
@Adam I think i remember most of what you told me i just to put more time in to the game
@Herb I’ll try to grab a list of my ps3 games soon so we can swap for hdr and get some games in
I imagine i’m gonna play makoto a week get reversal’d a bunch say fuck it and go back to sagat.
Probably. It won’t be pretty for her. Stick with projectiles, they’re pretty silly in this game.
Makoto is gonna get raped IMHO. Grapplers gonna rape her. Projectiles gonna rape her. It’s fuckin rape party. I’d still play her though but other characters come first.
THEORIES TIME based on nothing!
as a projectile whore i’ll lay down some random shit which we honestly have no idea what will be viable in tournies until the game actually comes out.
In 3s she raped the grapplers easy with 8-2 matchups in her favor. She was twice their speed did what they wanted to do and dealed big dmg and stun comboes all day all the while her normals kept them out. As for projectiles, looks like she’s gonna be like abel and people good with dash ultra as fireballs come to a complete hault in fear of the big dmg and almost all those characters have better footsies than sagat. My biggest hope is she can dash under high tiger shots or something. Easily her biggest fear is gonna be reversals since those were the best way to stop her rush down and with dem upper fadc’s its gonna be a pain.
That was in 3s. Ken was a monster in 3s and so was chun. They still have good footsies and stuff into super. Look how they translated to SF4.
Rose was amazing in Alpha, so was Gen. So was Chun. They had shit to deal with everything. They got put into 4. Chun is so-so and Gen and Rose are shit.
Sakura was amazing in Alpha, CvS2, and given all kinds of combos for days in 4, but she still manages to be just ok.
I can see Dudley being affected by something that’s similar to the KOF games where if you dash from a certain distance under a projectile you’re gettin tagged with somethin. Same with Makoto if she can even get around the fireballs to begin with. Especially with the huge ass reversal windows which weren’t changed at all so far as I know.
Also, she beat the fuck out of the grapplers because of her speed. I think Gief is a little faster than Hugo and Alex, probably combined. The reason Dudley could pick apart Hugo the best was because he was so fucking fast and had crazy mix-ups with damage and Hugo was a HUGE target with not much to do but poke and hope that he could land a grab on Dudley without eating a fast as fuck something.
In this game, Gief is faster than Hugo and Alex, but the overall game (I think personally) is slower and you have the reversal windows as well as the 1-frame BS. Target combos are going to rule this game on the inside, which Makoto has none (I think) so I think against gief right now she’s fucked, and from what RJ is saying, Hawk’s throw has silly range.
If Mak’s throw has Fei’s throw range she’s definitely dead.
We’ll see though.
Also, Feast of… FUCK!
4 ? 0 ? 2 ? 3
I know it doesn’t. He brought up the stuff that made her good in 3. I brought up the fact that people had good shit in other games and its… not so good now.
Does anyone know if she has hyper armor on her ex hayates?
