:lol That combo is ridiculous. Was it banned in comp or was stuff like that allowed? Im not familiar with tournament rules (im guessing it wasnt allowed).

You're allowed to do that stuff, but it's not really practical. Most people would just do an easy super combo after stunning someone, instead of trying to juggle them for 30 seconds. Though some characters have fairly easy stun juggles, they just don't do much damage, it's mainly for psychological advantage =P

Since Ive accepted that Nathan Explosion wont be wearing any bandannas any time soon,does Street Fighter IV feel similar to any of the old SF games??

Ive played 2 and its many versions,the Alpha series,the 3D EX series,had 20 minutes of 3 on an arcade machine,and the VS. series.

So whats the closest to it?
or does it feel a little changed but in a good way?

I've read a lot of comparisons to sf2 Turbo. Also did you want your avatar SF-erized?

so i played some SF2HD today and am ecstatic because i was finally able to consistently do shoryukens. for some reason i have always had the hardest time doing them, and was thinking of getting a stick solely for that reason. so happy :D

Someone over at capcom-unity got his blanka fightpad from best buy. Another person had his/her fightpad shipped from gamestop. Hurry up and ship mine to me Amazon. :(

I'm gonna have to go check my local Best Buy today if I get a chance.

Anybody here buy the premium SFIV theme packs on XBL? I'm interested in seeing how they look.

They're pretty bad tbh, look like normal themes, no customizing whatever for the big orb. Just a gray ball covering half of the screen IIRC.

EDIT: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=14126598&postcount=550

Remembered wrong, the friend list has some neat stuff but the main background is boring. A dark two-tone picture of ryu, with half of it covered by the orb.

SOME UNDESERVING DANISH PRICK ALREADY HAS THE GAME.

As you can see this prick also has Killer Instinct, MKII, and Revolution X arcade cabs in his house. Bastard.

Edit: also before anyone complains about the load time, I highly doubt this guy cared enough to do the optional install.
Video removed :( Did anyone grab it before it was too late?

There's a new premium pack on live. I don't have money right now to check it out =(
Anyone got some pics?

I found pics of SF Premium theme 2, Under live it says retro pac 1 for theme 2 and retro pack 2 for theme 3 so im guessing its a variation of this.

This is Premium theme 2 not 3 , found the pics at gamespot.

Yeah, I have the first two. Didn't like them that much to be honest. I'm kinda hoping the new one is a little better.

I've got the first premium theme and to be honest its kinda underwhelming. I do hope the new one is better, but I'm taking the plunge before I've seen some pics :)

If you can, I would wait a bit to see what the theme that just went up looks like. You might like it more since its a variation of theme 2. If you really want the one I posted its called SFIV Premium Theme 2 (on the banner its a picture of ryu and it says Retro Pac 01).

I will wait to see them all, but I do like the 2D art.

My Best Buy pre-order lists the 15th as the shipping date. :(

I almost fell into the trap. The wise words of Ackbar saved me. Must stay in this and the MLB 09 thread for my own safety...

Anyways, I hope the sticks do hit on the 10th-11th. Would be great to get used to them before the game.

*huddles in the corner, scared of the forum*

This SFIV obsession is getting out of control, the Killzone demo is going to be up in a few hours and I'm not that excited at all.
Ofcourse I'm gonna download it, if possible, but I'm not that excited as usual about such a high profile game.

I can only think of SFIV and I don't feel the urge of playing another game although I have a big ass backlog
Need to get my mind of SFIV, it's just a game :lol

Same here man...Halo Wars and KZ2 demos are up today. I'm downloading both but...I'm not feeling them....

Anyways, I'm watching some Viper matches (probably gonna main her) and in this video at 6:43 Viper beats a reversal shoryuken with the flamekick. Is that 100% effective with all shoto characters? Or did she beats it only because it was a crossup?

Seriously, if you own me I'll keep practising! That's because I'm dedicating my life to SFIV!!

Yeah I haven't been hyped for a game since, well since uhm.. I've never been so hyped before! Only thing that comes close is when I knew was getting a SNES with SFII on my birthday :)
