Street Fighter IV

So anyone have this? I saw it playing at a Fry's and thought it looked beautiful and I have not historically been a SF fan. But it looked so great and a lot of fun. Well, I just picked it up from a seller here on the Chuckwagon and am getting ready to dive in.

Just wondered if any of you had it or have played it.

I've never been a SF fan, but I liked SFIV a lot. Played it with a friend, we rented it
for a couple of days and I've beaten the shit out of him :-D It is a very fun game, but
imho the game mechanics are stupid. All the moves are somehow useless, except
those Ryu/Ken can do, but it is still a very fun game, far from broken and perfect for
multiplayer.

I have it for 360, and it is fun with others. Seth the boss is just ridiculous though, cheap as hell. It makes me never want to play the single player mode. It's a beautiful game.

Yeah Seth is CHEAP!! I played the hell out of it for 2 weeks when it came out, finally tracked down a decent 360 arcade stick and didn't play it for 2 months, then still played the hell out of it.

Sadly Super SF4 didn't improve much in my opinion, I really only played it online against others. The only kickass thing they did was add back in the barrels and the car!! Pure retro!!

I've got this for the PS3 ... though it doesn't so me a hell of a lot of good right now. But when I did play it I mostly played it on the 360. Seems more like Street Fighter 2.5 to me in the way it generically plays. I did buy the 360 SF4 fight stick though. :P And I haven't even played the game with it ... got it mostly for some of the XBLA games and shmups.

On a side note, SF4 for the iPhone isn't too bad either. The touch screen controls are surprisingly good.

Oh I'm absolutely playing this. I have it for the Xbox 360 and I'm playing online ranked matches most nights.

Obviously, to be good at the game, you simply can't play with the standard Xbox 360 gamepad, so what I did was, I purchased a Playstation 2 controller adapter and linked that to a wired 360 controller and to a Pelican Real Arcade stick for the PS2 that I purchased a long time ago.

This stick is no longer in production but it's awesome, it has genuine arcade parts and the 360 recognizes it via the adapter without any issues.

This is how my setup looks:

My favorite fighter is E. Honda, with it, I unlocked the "10 online wins in a row" achievement the other night. I also play with Balrog, Ryu, Ken and others.

Also, notice that if you destroy the car with either Guy or Cody; Bred from Final Fight will pop into the scene and cry "OH MY CAR!"

Nice setup Flare! Is that a Dreamcast I see under the Xbox 360??

I have the Hori EX arcade stick. I hate the buttons, but they work. I've read I could replace them with more authentic SF buttons but have not looked in to it.
