i wonder if it has something to do with the QC process for ps3/xb360 where there most likely isn’t for arcade. still, this is a huge advantage for the typical top jap players we see at big tourneys.
alex was in tatsunoko vs capcom and he’s the main character of the sf3 series. he’s far from a dead character. i’m certain there’s a ton of people who’d rather use him then half the cast in sf4 because he’s so bad ass.
as silly as hakan is, he fit’s in with sf4’s art theme and i have to admit i didn’t like him at first but now think he’s kinda cool. don’t know if he’ll make it out of the sf4 series though.
I wasn’t REALLY calling him a dead character. I was making a referential joke to that street fighter flash collab from many years ago. Was mostly just saying hakan and Fuerte will get put on the shelf for awhile more than likely
A little disappointed at the 2month wait between console and PC I was hoping for more like 1 month max. However as long as it doesn’t get delayed significantly past their expected date (as has happened so many times before) I think I can live with 2 months delay.
I notice that they knocked off $10 from the full package price but no word on the UPGRADE price being reduced for PC users. I’m guessing that wont be an option.
You know, I feel like they announced USF4 too early, but I guess they needed to if they wanted to fan-feedback.
The wait for the update feels almost as long as a new game being released.
Fixed that for you.
Question:
Has anyone at the location tests got the chance to talk to ComboFiend and ask him if they have improved or are improving online play?
Capcom is way too stubborn to pay the GGPO fee.
poor poison and rolento…they’re probably going to make it high in Evo and people will complain about them to be nerfed…
Given the stuff Combofiend has said about Elena she is the one I think we should all be worried about. It sounds like he wants her to have more combos and such, apparently a safe airborne 2 hit overhead that is like 15F startup (just a guess, it’s fast enough to combo into from mids it seems.) that can be comboed out of AND having what appears to be a special cancelable 3F sLK that reaches 1/4th of the screen and can’t be whiff punished is just not enough lol. That and her heal being actually strong is going to lead to a lot of rage and a lot of timeouts + bitching about time outs from players.
She looks fun and strong though. Maybe they’ll buff other characters to be more like her, probably not though. Then Deejay might be good and we can’t have that.
I think all three of them will probably get nerfed XD. I’m pretty sure that overhead will get nerfed. It seems like its faster than nina’s sfxt overhead.
They just better not nerf Poison’s hotness.
Yeah it is more likely the new characters will be too weak rather than too strong. Look at vanilla AE. Yun and Yang were PURPOSEFULLY made super strong, but they aren’t going to do that with these characters. It will be more like what they did with Evil Ryu and Oni, really subpar in vanilla AE and subsequently received a bunch of buffs in AE 2012. They will play it very safe likely for fear that one of the new characters may be broken and spoil the game. Oh yeah and healing, I’d put money down that it will end up awful rather than good considering the fanbase.
Capcom needs to bring back INDESTRUCTIBLE damn it. I admit I wasn’t a fan of the song before, but now every time I hear it, I get HYPED.
I’d like to see at least a bit of a HUD revamp with Ultra. Presentation plays a part in making you feel like you’re playing a different game too y’know.
The 2 month head start is nothing compared to the headstart they got with Arcade Edition.
More than usual? So you mean they’ll actually win EVO again since they haven’t for the last 2 years.
If Ultra is going to get played at Evo, watch a random person you would not expect win Evo 2014. It’s like Viscant winning Marvel 3 in 2011, wtf!? o_O
lol, that’s true. I didn’t even think about it actually. They still dominate top8 tho.
A lot of places who have arcades also get a headstart in ultra as well.
I’m planning on getting the 360 and especially the PC version as well… Wait… Releasing in June for consoles… wait… releasing in August for PC!?
The dream is dead.
Maybe the PC version is taking longer because they’re porting it to Linux??!?!
