Street Fighter IV

Got this game earlier from the only Gamestop around that actually released it, and it's amazing. It's wonderful how they recaptured the sheer fun of simply throwing fireballs and shit.

I think mines come in tomorrow.

Dude, Gouken is awesome. My new favorite character.

The boss of the game is super lame, though. Visually he's unoriginal, looks like silver surfer or something, and he plays like a second rate Shang Tsung, just has some moves from other characters in the game. Cheap as hell, too.

Dude you've been playing nonstop!

I hate you!!! uhuh

Hopefully I'll get mine tomorrow.

Still waiting on that massive collectors pack thingy.

Cant wait to use him too, does he play like Akuma/Ryu/Ken or completely different?

Pretty much like them, but his moves have some twists.

Like, his Fireball can be shot at different angles depending on the punch button used, and his dragon punch is horizontal while his hurricane kick is vertical.

He also has some amazing juggle abilities, he can do an EX dragon punch, which launches his opponents into the air, and on the way down hit them with his ultra, which makes it impossible for them to avoid.

Gouken IS beast in this game, when I first saw him play, I felt he could be a contender, however playing him now, he IS a contender. Back throw into Ultra is insanely powerful, safe, and very effective in competitive play.

Whenever Gouken has Ultra, your gameplay changes in fear of him landing it, because he's got efficient options to get it on you. Not to mention your afraid of him getting next to you, which is what Gouken can cause. However he does have some difficulty getting in on characters who have a strong footsie, and zoning game with projectiles like Sagat and Ryu for example, especially when they start mixing it up with Ex-fireballs.

been having trouble with my connection, sometimes it won't connect, or if it does, the lag can be a pain....

I guess is too much people logging in...or just my crappy connection 😄

Quick question does Gouken have a story?

Brother to Akuma... master to Ryu and Ken... was supposedly killed at the hand of Akuma

He is a master of the good side of Hadou, while Akuma is a master of Dark Hadou

at least thats what I remember anyways.. I'm sure JustFrame can clear that up

I know that. I meant if he actually has a storyline for the game.

Yeah, if you play him in Arcade mode he has a beginning and an ending.

My cousin has the PS3 sorry, also, almost always we never get online for the PS3, since most of the people we play against were at one point competitive at SF. However, whenever I go to my cousins house again to play SF:IV I'll get his online name so anyone who may have a PS3 can bust a few heads with me 😄 .

viper and abel are my two favs currently

The boss in this game is a major disapointment. Seth looks like Silver Surfer jacked on steroids and has an eyeball growing out of his stomach.
Didn't Seth appear in the Marvel vs. Capcom series? Even back then gamers didn't like this guy.

I'm gonna need a trainer when i get this game.

Heh, Backfire, I'd play you, but I'm only on PSN... Some people need to get into the PS3 realm of things...

TBH most people online use Ken, and for some ungodly reason can't avoid the Raging Demon...

My PSN online ID is Darkstorm_Zero

Feel free to add me in so we can have some dueling going down.
