Those are some hairy arms, dood!

Lucky. My local game stores saying they'll have it in on the 19th, which is actually earlier then I was told to expect so I guess I can't complain, but I am pretty envious nonetheless.
I wants me some Street Fightin'.

It looks so good! You must tell me about it tomorrow!

Cool. I'm getting mine tomorrow.

All manly men have hairy arms. This is true.

No, that's just more or less scientific fact, from what I hear. It wasn't busted on Mythbusters, at least.

great news guys, the japanese option in the english version also effects the intro movie song dub. Well the english one is delightfully cheesy but i thought some people might want to know that.

That is one big ass PG sticker.

Man, I have to wait till Friday here in the UK, till then I will be twiddling my awesome joystick.

lol, those arms are hairier than mine.

Oz sure does have some fucked up labeling when it comes to the rating logos. it ruins the art totally!. Is that stuck on or is it printed on?

They arent as hairy as they look in the photo. But still hairy i guess.

They used to have stick on ratings logo's now thier printed on the cover.

i've played this game for 8 hours straight so far. Game is incredible.

I want to swap out the hori buttons on my real arcade pro 3 for sanwa ones now. 

one thing that has me worried now that i have this game is this:

I am getting mine today but I can't stand all the people just posting their copies to tease us!! Agh, I have waited enough!

"one thing that has me worried now that i have this game is this:

i'm getting the feeling that the stick is starting to feel less responsive than when i first got it 2.5 weeks ago.

It doesnt do what lord of ultima had with the mad catz controller where he got stuck in crouch. What i think i'm noticing is. ill be playing as ryu or ken and do the motion for a whirlwind kick and often instead of doing that hell just crouch and do a trip kick as if the stick has become sluggish to return to its centre point. this disapoints me since the actual stick in it is a sanwa stick (Sanwa JLF-TP-8Y-SK). The buttons are hori however, and a few of them are becoming a bit less clicky already one of them is a little stuff. I havent had it not respond to imput at all yet, but its not the best style of button to mash with if you need to do e honda's slap attack or chun li's fast kick.

The SA version of the HRAP3 is the same as the normal HRAP 3 except its a different colour and has sanwa obsf 30 buttons in it. I wonder if the actual button slots on the normal hrap3 are exactly the same as the SA's the measurements seem to be the same so i can just hot swap them. I'm assuming that the stick isnt actually busted, and perhaps something is just lose or not tightened properly. I can only hope. Otherwise i will be forced to mod it heh."

Yeah, gonna have to agree, you are one hairy mofo.

Fighting game nerd talk is completely inaccessible.

That paragraph doesnt have anything to do with fighting games actually, and more to do with arcade sticks and part numbers. That post was mostly aimed at lordofultima, linkyshinks or the other couple of people i know on this forum that know tech stuff about arcade sticks.

I'm not saying your a noob dude, there was no intent to insult in what i said. I was looking at it from the point of view of, i thought SFIV might be easier than say SC4 for you because there are much less moves to learn to begin with. Where as SC characters have well over 50 moves per character and fast multi input combo's. I always saw street fighter as the series where it was more about learning the basics and the few specials and knowing when to best use them. I know there are more systems than that in SFIV but i thought those systems were something that someone might gradually pickup as you played the game more in general.

Chill, it's all good!

I'll probably pick it up after work today.

I bought the ps3 version the load times annoy me after I lose and want to continue quickly. Im installing to hdd right now to see it it speeds it up. Other then that great game altho the computer seems cheap. Im trying to beat the game to unlock characters, got to able and the bastard keeps throwing me over and over. I am still getting used to the game but damn, reminds me of playing with my little brother.

Recommend Everyone with the Ps3 version install to hdd. Cut the load times in half maybe even more.

i installed straight away when i first got the game, didnt want to risk it :)

I got mine earlier today :P
Too lazy to take a pic, but here's MyGamerCard to prove it



Street Fighter IV all the way to the left

I still need to get better but I have been playing sf since the original sf2. At this point I have to say I think sf alpha3 is a better game. The last boss is lame, that has been done before.

What the hell was up with the controls if you play with the normal joypad. They're not like SSF2THDR, so you have to configure all this crap you're used to.

Despite what people said before SFIV came out, this game handles nothing like SF2 imo, it feels noticably looser.
