ummmmm Street Fighter IV anyone???

God dammit just reveal Dudley / Makoto we all know its coming Capcom just let the cat out of the bag.

[Riot]

I'm sad that every character got buffed pretty much except Akuma who got nerfed terribly. =(

[Merk]

How was he nerfed? He's getting an ultra that is not Raging Demon which means - holy shit - his ultra meter isn't worthless.

[Riot]

His new ultra sucks.

- Far Standing Hard Kick (Double Kicks) have more start up time.

- Standing Light Punch can no longer Link into far Standing Hard Kick.

- Fireball, FADC, far Standing Hard Kick only works on large hitbox characters now.

+ New Ultra: Demon Armageddon. Up, Up + 3x Kick command. Doesn't seem to have many ways to combo into it, can't be used as anti-air. Also will miss crouching opponents.

lol look at all the people upset about Akuma getting raped =( all other characters got pretty good buffs, even Sagat wasn't really hurt that bad. Ryu made even better. Akuma just gets shit on in multiple categories. oh well will still probably play him

[Riot]

gawrsh, I want this game

[Merk]

Image broken

Fix it I was actually really pumped to see you made a new post in this thread I thought there was going to be new info like omg the 3s characters. Jesus Lord Crapcom get on it already.

[Riot]

It was a picture of Balrog getting hit by a rose, kinda confirming Dudley. All the interviews and leaked pics I've seen pretty much confirm Ibuki, Makoto, Dudley, probably going to be announced in the next few days, at least Ibuki anyways.

[Merk]

You need to fix that image you gutter trash.

I just listened to a podcast with a player who played the game at a preview event and though he can't say who the new 4 characters are legally, he says "you may think you know who that last 4 character are but you may be surprised"

http://www.gytnews.com/articles/intervi ... er-iv.html

Here it is if you wanna listen. He talks about some of the characters and how they look balance-wise for the new one. Sagat tweaked with HP/stamina, but his invincibility makes him better, blech. Akuma nerfed, sucky balls, will most likely keep playing with him but I might try out Juri, Adon, or Ibuki, since apparently the new characters are really good.

[Merk]

oh shit its official

Dudley looks kinda retarded

Bleh copy those links into your browser waffleimages is gay

[Riot]

He kind of looks like Jamie Foxx in game lol. But yay! Might try picking up Ibuki.

They pretty much just need to make a Street Fighter Fourth Strike or whatever. Balance Yun and Chun-Li and buff the shittier characters like Twelve, Q, Hugo, and Remy and it'd be a top-tier fighting game.No need to add new shit, just fix what's in Third Strike.

But 3S characters in SF4 will probably work just as well I hope. Makoto is probably the hardest to implement into SF4 well unless they just completely changed her character.

oh em gee oh em gee. Ibuki looking awesomeeee

[Merk]

Capcom. Please. Let there be an option for the Japanese voices like there was in vanilla SF4. Please bring back the SF3 voice actors for their character's SF4 iteration. I never, ever, give two darns about what a character sounds like, but with Dudley I will make an exception. The English Dudley voice actor is not good, please Japanese voice actor don't suck.

Ibuki sounds good - great job Capcom USA. Makoto and Dudley however sound way off. Did you not pay any attention to 3S? You literally had a source to refer to on how these characters should sound and you missed the mark. God dammit.

This has been an epic week of video games though. SC2 beta and SSF4

Merk I want this game so bad, I don't even know why I like Street Fighter so much since I barely played it until 4 came out but lately I have been obsessed. I have like 10,000 championship points online and have been winning more tournaments. I don't really care about voice actors and never play with japanese voices because I'm amurrikan and don't get my naruto headband in a twist over "AUTHENTICITY *sniffle* *wheeze*" but I do like the guy who said "Gutter Trash." He seemed like a demure but powerful gentleman.

I am going to win EVO.
