Street Fighter IV

Well, my main fighters will still be Sagat and Sakura. I might try out Crimson Viper, though.

FA - Focus Attack (2 Mid attack buttons together that does an animation that has auto guard, ending in an attack that when fully charged stuns)

DC - Dash Cancel, you can cancel your focus attack into a forward dash or a back dash

XX - Cancel

the 70-80 dollar stick

the 150 dollar stick

Thanks for explaining those. I bet there are a bunch of other fighting game-related acronyms that I don't know about, though...

Yeah, those are too expensive.

I'm probably going to get the $40 control pad.

Yeah, they're pretty rad. Which one you are you planning to get?

Probably this one -- http://www.gamestop.com/Catalog/ProductDetails.aspx?sku=802974

Cool, the Akuma one looks pretty awesome.

I would only buy the stick, if I was seriously going to get back into competition, however I might buy it just for a colletors kind of thing, however it's useless if it just sits in a box. If I bought it, I would probably end using it to play SF:IV instead of keeping it in the box 😆 .

Is there a Sagat and/or Sakura version of those gamepads?

Check it out, you might have already seen this, but I found it, and just had to show you.

Should work for many 360 games.

At the moment, there aren't, only Chun Li, Ryu, Ken, Blanka and Akuma.

Well, that sucks.

I doubt they'll do it, but Capcom should make a skin for each character and sell them separately from the gamepad. That way, people would buy certain skins and apply them to their personal gamepads.

That sounds cool, and expensive, haha.

Nah, they wouldn't be expensive.

They would be similar to those customized covers for your cell phone, and cell phone covers aren't expensive.

Haha, I'd want them all though!

Like an hour long video of a bunch of matches between the staff at 1up. Good stuff.

If you think that's good BackFire, check these out...

Notice how powerful ShoryukenFADCing is within SF:IV, and why Ryu in Japan is considered #2 only under Sagat.

Oh, btw, just so some people know, Gouken's Super, not his ultra, but his super is the Metsu Shoryuken, this is the same Shoryuken in which Ryu used to defeat Sagat in the very first Street Fighter Tournament.

I would only get about three of them if I had a gamepad.

Cool, which ones?

it was pretty sad to see how powerful sagat is.. I figured the FADC would allow ryu to close in harder.. but I guess if daigo wasnt doing it, its not very plausible

Well, Sagat has always been one of the powerful characters in the SF games.

I would get Chun-Li, Sagat, Sakura, and/or Fei Long.
