The Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition Thread

[Insider2000]

Yeah, about your family....

*shows bloody hands*

I'm so sorry, again!






I'm kidding. But seriously, I'm so sorry about Dudz. I really thought Dudley was in the pack.

[StrawHatRican]

It's cool, Insider.

I'll just wait till the Gentlemanly Boxer makes his way to the Avatar sections.

[Insider2000]

Yeah, but I can relate. XD

I can't help but feel bad. I mean, if someone did that to me with Stryker.....

Spoiler:

There'd be no one on this forum left.

So...whatever happen to everyone? You guys still fight?

Costume packs for the AE characters soon, if anyone cares.

[StrawHatRican]

Steam's Summer Sale happened to me x.x

[pyromonki]

I'm going have so much fun with Guy's new 3-hit absorbing run. I already used to fake people out with up close Ex Run-Stop Ultras... but now.. it's just going to be brutal.

I'm going to bring a new meaning to profound sadness. I still hate his light punch though, why do you punch so high guy?

I've still yet to pick up the game. Too much to save for (Vans, movies, Matsuricon), so yea.

[Toshiya]

Great game worth to pick up and most movies arent that good thats out right now.

I care about this entirely too much, I checked back every day since the game came out for DLC for costume packs.

Kinda disappointed in them though, especially Oni's.
Evil Ryu had some cool stuff though :/

Uhhhh.....fuck shoes, friends, and anime.....we should all just coup up in a corner and play this game. Seriously.....BUY IT NOW

I had a short amount of time with this game today. Lots of fun, and I appreciate some of the minor tweaks. I LOVE Yang. The switcheroo they pulled on the motions of his dash and his rolling kick had me messing up for a few rounds, but I started getting the hang of it and don't think it's a bad change at all. His combos are all pretty fun for me.

[TakinawaTonfa]

T.Hawk got a very nice set of buffs in this game :D (Especially the stand-alone EX Condor Dive).

He's pretty underrated in this game I think.

Oh and Fei Long has gotten pretty fucking awesome, I'm putting him in Yang's place so now my top three characters in the SFIV games are as follows:

1) Guile

2) T. Hawk

3) Fei Long

[Toshiya]

Anyone up for some matches?

holy shit holy shit holy shit.

if the first day wasn't enough, with Daigo vs Alex Valle, Poongko getting a 53-hit combo perfect, Justin Wong's magic pixel, and juicebox breaking out his new dance, the top 8 blew every bit of my mind that was left intact from the mvc3 finals.

First, Tokido beats FlashMetroid with Akuma's Ultra II, and then acts out the kick.
then, wolfkrone gets knocked out by Kindevu. Really though wolfkrone would go further.
Fuudo sends Latif to losers, and then, PREPARE YOURSELF
POONGKO BODIES DAIGO INTO LOSERS
DAIGO BEATS KINDEVU IN A CLOSE MATCH
AND IT ONLY GETS MORE HYPE FROM HERE
FUUDO SENDS POONGKO INTO LOSERS
LATIF KNOCKS OUT TOKIDO
LATIF KNOCKS OUT DAIGO
LATIF KNOCKS OUT POONGKO
AND THEN FUUDO DESTROYS LATIF IN THE GRAND FINALS

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

oh I am so glad I got into serious fighting games this year. But there was no way my body could've been ready for evo 2011. holy fucking shit.

[Silence]

Absolutely fucking incredible.

Best EVO in years.

[Lazzie]

God DAMNIT.

I watched the top 8 for MK9 and MvC3, then went to sleep because I had to get up at 5AM the next day (east coast, so SF4 finals didn't start until past 11). So here I am, finally grabbing some computer access, and apparently I missed a completely insane SF4 top 8. Fuck me sideways.

EDIT: and who the fuck is Fuudo? Quick check tells me that he's a Fei Long player that basically tore through the entire field. Good show to him and Latif, but unfortunate that Latif cracked so hard.

[Gekko135]

It was close. I was really hoping for Latif to win. But all in all, amazing evo. I was literally on the edge of my seat.

[competitionbros]

I had work all day Saturday and Sunday, absolute bullshit.
