Is it worth it? Do I have any other choices?
Marvel vs Capcom is coming, and I do enjoy playing VF5. I'd probably buy SF4 too. heck, I might even buy UMK3 off of XBLA. Come on GAF, help me convince myself to buy this.
I've been watching a guy on Justin.tv playing with a pad. He's damn good at it with SFIV. I'd say it's worth it if you're considering playing fighters a good amount of time.Dead Man Typing said:£35 for the fighting pad off of Amazon... I'm tempted. £35 pad for a £7/10 game though.

That should carry you through easy :lol
Relix said:I played SF2 a few days ago... felt so much better compared to Sf4 :lol
Shin Johnpv said:Fixed
Relix said:Nope. Never. SF4's gameplay leaves the basic stuff of SF2 in the ground, especially the bullshit grabs and the likes.
Hey, SF2 is fun... but SF4 is much better than has more logical ways of playing!
Shin Johnpv said:I completely disagree with all of this.

Boring I guess is subjective but slow? I really feel like SF4 needs to get a speed bump as while I do like it it's one of the slower fighters that I've played in awhile.Adam Prime said:After SF4 I cannot go back to play HD Remix.

yeah I can't really go back to it...Adam Prime said:I guess I'm wrong then. I've only played HD Remix two times after owning SF4 and it felt slower to me. The game isn't as exciting to me without Ultra combos and FA. Yeah I just felt like SF4 played a lot smoother to me than HD Remix... I just prefer it way over it HD Remix, can't go back to it now.
Dead Man Typing said:Got my fighting pad, after it sat in the post office for a week.
I was disappointed at first with the d-pad, it's very soft and doing quarter circles was difficult. However, after some practice with Ryu I was pulling off fire balls and spinning kicks with some consistancy. What was instantly worth the money was having 6 face buttons.
The d-pad is great for other arcade games, like someone recommended. Sonic, Ikaruga and other classic games all play better with the new pad compared to the default controller or stick.
Thumbs up.

What's up with all the quitters in this game? There was one guy who looked like he was doing pretty good for a while, but in the last round I got him dizzy and was setting up to have a perfect victory, when all of a sudden...DISCONNECT! I also had another guy drop out just as I dealt the winning blow.
Some others don't even let it get that far...midway through round 2, if they don't think they're going to get in on me, they yank the plug.
On the other hand, I played some really good players tonight. One guy used Ryu and took down my Dee Jay hard with a TRIPLE PERFECT. Damn, that was sobering. Honestly, that was probably the best player I've ever played, as I didn't have an answer for anything he did.
There were some other good matches. One guy had M. Bison (Dictator) versus my Balrog (Boxer). We went the full 5 rounds and he got the victory. Somehow my next match was also against him, with both of us choosing the same characters, and this time I ended up victorious. It was exciting because we appeared to be evenly matched and there was some psychology involved on both sides.
Another one had my E. Honda versus a very skilled Ken. It was a nail-biter for 5 rounds. I don't know how I managed to win that one--I sort of lucked out, as this guy had a strong mix-up game. A couple of fortunate Oicho throws followed by standing distant roundhouse got me out of trouble.
There was also a good match between my Dee Jay and someone using Dhalsim, who also evidently knew what he was doing. It was a challenge trying to break through his zoning tactics. I had a fair amount of success at times, but ultimately he stood victorious at the end of the fifth round.

AkuMifune said:It's horrible. The last time I went on EVERY TIME I was winning the other person dropped. If I was losing I at least went down with dignity, which happened alot actually, because those who are left are generally pretty damn good.
When it launched didn't you get a win when the other person dropped? I swear that was the case, and not so anymore.
EDIT: Player matches are where its at I guess, but I was hoping to someday get that 100 win achievement.

All challengers welcome.

Yeah my heart flutters like a butterfly on drugs when I play any SF game online, my adrenaline goes into maximum too. Makes the feeling of a win so nice it's addicting, but thankfully I am not a person who throws controllers on a lose.nickrempe said:It's strange that this is the only game offered that keeps my adrenaline up to the max the entire time I am playing online. I haven't picked up Street Fighter 4 yet, I am afraid for the inevitable heart attack that will follow. All the matched I have played online, which are few, I haven't had very many quitters. I can remember one the entire time I have played the game.
Diablohead said:I can understand what people mean now when they say they can't go back to HD remix after playing SFIV, both excellent games but it feels much more refined in 4.
GriffD17 said:I just got it recently. Haven't been playing it much. I would like to get into it at some point though. I'll be up for player matches, or even tournaments, I'm never able to find an open tournament. I'll add you.
Nah, I think HDR will still get a good mix of people - SF4 is a completely different beast than HDR as much as it shares some of its zoning tactics and character match-ups.JCX said:Just bought this last week for PS3. Haven't played much online though. I assume most of gaf has moved onto SF4 and BlazBlue?

There was some pretty decent competition online tonight.
