Picked up my CE of it today.

Jumping felt strange for awhile but I think I might have it figured out again. I've actually fond some uses for cross ups again which is nice. I hate having to press jab and short to throw though.

Otherwise, I am loving it. El Fuerte and Crimson Viper are both great fun to use too.

I LOVE this game. <3<3<3

I finished Ryu, Sakura, M. Bison, and Abel's stories so far. I love the anime intro and endings.

Gameplay is excellent, this was well worth the wait!

Only finished the game with Crimson Viper and barely. She's fun to use, but damn, Seth is a pain in the ass. I almost beat him one time by beating him down a bit, then using an Ultra attack, but he survived with a sliver of unseen health. Ironically, I beat him with regular punches and kicks.

Speaking of Ultra Attacks, they're a pain to do on the 360 controller. It took a lot of time for me to get used to it in Training, but I only used it once in Arcade Mode against Seth. Some of the button combos confuse me, like Guile's. I can only do the ones that are two quarter circles forward with all punches or all kicks.

Does SF4 offer the option of setting buttons for all three Punches or Kicks? EX did, and that was basically the only way of doing Meteor Combos.

Yes. They're needed for the Ultras in this game too.

Without the all punch or all kick buttons, it would be near impossible to do Ultra Attacks.

On another note, I looked up how to unlock Gouken and Akuma and damn...it's hard for me. Two perfects and three Ultra Finishes for Gouken, while Akuma's is the same, but only two Ultra Finishers. Also, you can't lose...which is hard for me against Seth...

By the way, I keep hearing how cheap Rufus is...but I don't see it. What does he do that's so cheap?

The MadCatz fightpad is wonderfully helpful. Six button layout on the front, shoulder buttons are for 3P and 3K, and the D-pad actually works. I can actually pull off Somersault Justice without too much of a problem.

I had a horrible time beating Seth with Crimson Viper, but her Forward + Roundhouse kicked his ass wonderfully when specials were meh against him.

Went to 8 different places looking for a fightpad today, only one I found was a ps3 one ><;

Anyway, only got to play a very little bit so far but I'm enjoying it more than I thought I would.

I was gonna look for those today too... I have some crap to trade in (namely MKvsDC), but I didn't bother.

I really am trying to resist the urge to give in and buy <_<

Especially considering I haven't had work in a while...

Alright, I unlocked Gouken and got the Legendary Champion achievement. Man he controls strange. His hurricane kick is totally vertical. No dragon punch other than for his super/ultra moves, instead it is a fireball-bypassing forward moving punch. I've gotten some fun juggles off of his EX hurricane kick though.

I'm sick of seeing Zangief players online. >_<

I have to confess I stick with Ryu and Sagat for the ranked matches. Still haven't won more than three in a row though. ><

Honestly, I'm starting to main with Abel. I'm able to chain throw because of his forward roll, though I switch to Sagat if I'm up against Zangief. I managed to cancel a lot of Zangief's throws with Gen, though I wouldn't even think about making him my main.

Since there's a Gamestop tourney coming up, I've been practicing how to anti-Ryu/Ken. I'll probably be able to beat most of the Hadouken spammers.

I main Sagat too, nothing against using these characters. But nothing pisses me off more then Akumas that do nothing but hadouken spamming. It's not even hard to defeat, it's just... why bother playing if that's all you're gonna do? =/ Kens and their goddamn fierce shoryuken spamming suck too. It reminds me of the Kilik players on SC4.

heheh I have no problems with people wanting to spam those guys either. I like using Ken, but seriously... fierce for everything??? That gets useless. Fast.

I still suck at this game though :P I'm struggling through medium Arcade for crying out loud!

But yeah... almost done unlocking everyone.

360 controller is killing me though >_< couldn't find the MadCatz stuff anywhere here, so I'll have to resort to ordering them.

As for the new characters, I'm ashamed to say that Rufus is too easy to use <_< I don't mind Viper, but my bro took a bigger liking to her. Abel is cool too. As for El Fuerte... do not like :P I like the chef/cook aspect and he's not too bad to use, but I don't particularly like the play style.

El Fuerte just makes me miss Guy.

Hadokens are meant to add more damage to combos and punish the occasional whiff move. I enjoy chipping people to death with EX Hadokens and Tiger Shots I have to admit. Sakura's (forgot the name, her Shoryuken variant) does wonderful chip damage too in EX form. I've killed people with a decent amount of life left with that one.

Yes @ both GT and Lowe.

Guy was awesome.

Haven't been online yet. Apparently my cuz got it on PS3 just for the controller issues <_< too bad. I still have to order the fightpad, but I've managed to unlock everyone now...

Seth is such a pain <_< I suck at this so in some cases I just rushed through on the Easiest setting... shame I know :P

Good news is that supposedly my home connection has just been crappy because of maintenance. Hopefully it's just that and not that stupid hacker issue. Once I'm up, I can probably net you guys some easy wins XD

Oh... I know the feeling dude. I love the SC series... despite the disappointments that SCIII and SCIV were... but yeah...

SFIV is good. Enjoying it much more than I expected and it was well worth getting rid of MKvsDC - that thing just lacked depth and gameplay options :P

My best friend cut around the D-pad on the stock 360 controller and he insists it is working much better.
