What are you so happy for? Just stop posting.
I just can’t see them not releasing an upgrade kit or a full blown arcade cabinet… say it isn’t so Capcom

y is there no poll in this thread?
There is.
It’s just not visible because there are too many people riding it. :rolleyes:
I’m not trying to step on your toes at all because I respect what you’re saying and I’m vibing with you to be completely honest because you’re fighting for your arcade experience. However I have a person on my XBox live buddy list named Itazan0429 and I’m pretty sure that’s Itabashi Zangief. He also has Tokido, Mulder, Mago, and Tetsu on his buddy list. With some friends like that I’m sure that isn’t a fake Itazan playing on XBL.
So iono, maybe they’re more receptive to console than people think.
What makes you think it’s a matter of money?
well you bought a console and paid for xbl so why you crying?
What’s the big deal? Get a nice tv, a cabinet, a ps3/x360, and 2 good sticks. That’s really all an arcade cabinet is anyways.
I don’t understand why so many people are under the impression this won’t get released as an arcade version.
Almost every iteration of Street Fighter games has been released as an arcade version. Super Turbo, Hyper Fighting, Third Strike, etc. The Street Fighter franchise is filled with games that are essentially expansions of previous games that still saw arcade releases.
Why would SSF4 be any different?
this isn’t SF4, but Damdai was a regular GGPO player at first (If I recall correctly, I might be wrong on this.), and Thelo is an X-Box live born player (and placed top 8 in HDR.)
So it’s my opinion that as long as the netcode is decent (like HDR and GGPO.) and the competition is good, you can become a top tier player from online. (SF4 is different story because of the shitty netcode, hopefully that’s fixed in Super.)
Huh, well if that’s true it’s a more recent development. I dunno, I asked a lot of people, maybe I had him confused with someone else. It was around the time that the game dropped for console that I was asking people if they were getting it.
Sure doesn’t stop him from coming to the arcade every night.
Still doesn’t mean an arcade release would be irrelevant.
I saw that right after I posted.
In that case, I’m on board for this petition. Bring SSF4 to the arcades!

Parlor settings are better for learning a fighting game because more variety and larger player base allow faster and greater accumulation of player skill. More people also means most likely a good player with each character will emerge giving the community better experience vs all the cast rather than you playing your 7-10 friends (if that) in the game where 2 or 3 play the same character and the player base has weak experience vs half the cast.
Arcades are strictly better than typical console because of this factor.
Internet replacing parlor in effectiveness. While you can learn counter tactics and what not vs characters you don’t have experience against lag drastically changes the game you play. Variable lag results in inconsistant play, and though netcode drastically changes practicality of online practice for time sensitive games like fighters where 1 or 2 frames can be the difference between winning and losing whether from combo sensitivity or from decreased reaction time. Popular example is trying to “bulldog” fireballs in SFIV no matter how good your online connection you should notice it harder to block a fireball at sweep distance on reaction.
Games try to make online better by slowing them down over time (compare old style 2d fighters to the newer ones like BB) most games run a couple frame slower (fastest moves going from 2-3 frames to 3-5 frames) as a slower game makes it harder to notice a 1 or 2 frames of lag but regardless it exists and time sensitive things like instant blocking and what not are effected.
Because of this minute lag in effect your playing a different game than you are when you go to a live tournament. The game you were playing online is in essence isn’t the game as it exists online because of invalidated combo’s and tactics because of increased difficulty based on a variable couple frame lag.
So if online play < any live play console or arcade
and console =< Arcade (console less than arcade unless substantial player base exists around the console)
that means Arcade >= console > online
I play console with my local crew but i know if a successful local parlor existed the scene in my area would greatly improve.
Also you really think they are going to hold arcade loketests (meaning making SSFIV boards) but not sell SSFIV to arcade owners … really? What practical sense would it make for Capcom to wastes Thousands of dollars writing a game for the taito X board for beta testing and not release a version of the product it was originally designed to be played on. They’ll beta test on boards, update them to final versions after beta testing, and sell them. It’s the only practical logic to doing arcade beta tests. Unless the beta tests are done in an arcade on console than it’s just a slap in the face.
I don’t care either way. But I’ll sign just to make you guys happy.
So a person who plays a game that only exists on consoles did well after only playing that game on a console, and you can’t name more than 2 even if we accept those.
Case closed. Arcades are awesome, Capcom is being dumb.
Can you imagine being Daigo or Mago and having to literally throw away the thousands of matches and the hundreds of thousands of BP they have on their arcade cards?
I’ll sign… Just because, in their position, I would want to kill myself.
i can’t tell you the last time i’ve been to an arcade, but if this means that the pros that capcom apparently got a lot of feedback from (according to what Ono said in the interview) won’t have an arcade version, this seems more like a slap to the face of the people who helped them improve their game. because i would imagine that those pros in japan who play on arcade are the ones who learned more about their game than capcom’s devs did.

Quoted for TRUTH
Oh yes.
I will also sign this petition. I know online petitions have .00001% chance of success. But I will still try.
