As the topic says, I just noticed a SF4 page under new releases on Steam.

I can't wait.

Cool.

Sweet. Here's the game's page in the Store. It's not available for pre-purchase, but you can look at screenshots and watch a trailer.

wow cool, never thought it would happen.

Awesome, but I already own it on a console and I feel like that's the way to play it. I want someone with me in the room.

"Awesome, but I already own it on a console and I feel like that's the way to play it. I want someone with me in the room."

well that gives me some security that people on the PC cannot cheat that much, though I'm sure its only a matter of time before someone makes a macro for every move turning SF4 into smash. I hope Steam would count that as cheating.

Has it been said that the PC version wont be 2 players? I don't see any reasons why it wouldn't.

Also I'll be buying it at a store more then likely, the Canadian exchange rate on games on steam is ridiculous.

that trailer on the steam page for it is BADASS

There have been controllers with hardware macro execution since SNES.  It'd be perfectly easy to make a cheating device for SF4 on PC that would be completely undetectable.  However, you'd still need some skill to know when to execute those macros.  The other potential cheating problem involves stuff like decreasing your systems performance at certain times to induce lag or framerate drops that may give you an advantage.  I wonder how the game is going to handle all those people getting less than 60 frames per second anyways?

Standard procedure for low fps is not to slow down the action (how can it, when it's real time on the other player's end?) but to skip those frames, making it worse for the 30fps guy since he'll not see the moves coming as easily.

Steam does have Valve's Anti Cheat but it probably doesn't work out of the box for SFIV, they'll have to tweak it or make a custom version, or wait for cheats to actually start being made -- if any are -- to see what they have to fight against. If CAPCOM is serious about the port at all that is.

I doubt cheating will be prominent like it is for popular FPS games like Counter-Strike.

SICK.   So it will be like Fallout though and still be a games for windows live game, right?
