Street Fighter IV - Official Thread

[Bob]

No doubt Tim will be getting excited.

Here's some pictures of MadKatz street fighter IV controllers.. There's a special control pad and two arcade sticks.

I've got full review code now but we're not going to be able to get the sticks before editorial deadline

[Valleyman]

Look at that art work Genius

[Dynamite Dan]

It looks awesome. I love a good beat em up too and it's hard to beat a bit of Street Fighter.

Tim, does it have a list of moves? because I suck at Street Fighter (Despite it's awesomeness) and a list would help me.

[Tim]

Yep, it's in the pause menu and has all the moves for each character, even the special normals like Ryu's forward and medium two hit punch thing. It's a good list.

[Septic]

Can the speed be increased in the game Tim. Been watching loads of trailers and it seems a bit slower than SF2.

Also, why is Akuma called Gouki?

I think I'm gonna pre order it now.

No you can't increase the speed, really its fast enough as it is. I was playing it for around 4 hours or so yesterday

Akuma is called Gouki in Japan, I dunno why Capcom USA changed his name

£30 in most places for pre order. The special edition is a bit more though.

Bargain, lookslike pre-order is the way to go.

[Dynamite Dan]

I hope Tim is quoted on the box...

[Tom909]

Does anyone know if you can get a copy packaged up with a stick?

[Tim]

There's no official bundle, no. But I wouldn't be surprised if shops do their own.

[Tom909]

Is it just me or has anyone else wondered why when fighting games come bundled with a stick, or as Tim says, shops make their own bundles, they don't offer a bundle with two sticks as well as one with just the one. A bundle with two sticks would be ideal 'cos you could then just take it home and play the game against your mates (as, imo fighters are made to be played), both using decent peripherals from the off.

[Dynamite Dan]

I'll use the pad at first but if I think a stick is completely necessary. The sticks are a little pricey.

Hopefully I can pre order this on Friday.
