Best with M+KB am I rite? But you can headshot someone with those fireballs?

Oh SF IV, how I wish I was still into fighting games enough to truly appreciate you..

To bad there is no cross platform support that would have been cool.

SF4 on any version is beast

the online will die after a few months/weeks

Would have been cool to see some of those graphics tweaks (watercolour, etc.) in the article. Eh, well. Good that PC-only folks get to enjoy SFIV.

I love me some Street Fighter, but considering I already bought the game for the PS3 (due to the PS3's better D-pad only) I don't think I can drop cash on it again for the PC version.
It's great to see some support for PC gaming though.

This sounds like a game I really wouldn't want to play on PC, it just feels weird.

I understand that fighting games are best played with an arcade stick or gamepad but using a keyboard is not too bad, actualy in my case I've been able to perform combos and special moves far more quickly and easily with the keyboard than my with my gamepad. As far thegame goes it's pretty good but for no more than 5-10 min quick plays. 

I know a chap who's incredible at SF3 with a keyboard. It can be done.

Street fighter on the PC sounds desperately pointless. Let's face it, once you plug a 360 controller into a PC you've just got an expensive and unstable Xbox 360 . . . with Excel.

This is good for my friend who only has a good gaming PC. Now he can train and then we can have an actual battle on my PS3.

Who ever plays SF4 on a PC. it's fucking crazy just get a 360 or something JEEEEZE LOUISE

Special Edition's coming in the mail. Glad to hear there are no technical issues.

I tried it on the PC, all thanks to a pal, at max settings on 1440x990 (or something similar) and I did not noticed differences between the console versions.
Of course, it has better AA and the new filters (that aside from the one called INK, are not noticeable at all).
Still, a good buy for those who cant afford a PS3 or a 360. Still, I recommend not playing it below 60fps.

The only problem I'm having with the game thus far is finding good opponents with good connections.  Is it this bad for Xbox Live?  The indicator for the fights are also extremely misleading.  There have been a couple of matches with people who supposedly have 4 bars, but as soon as the matching starts, I end up fighting with the lag.

Uber sauce.  I might be a point whore and get this for PC for the achievements.

Agreed on the lack of cross platform support. It should have no problems integrating with Xbox users since you don't have to worry about accuracy differences between mouse versus thumbstick. Perhaps down the line. More games need cross platform support, even if it is of the Live variety.

So does SF4 support cross platforming?

I read the review, but I'm still unsure of one thing... does this game has vs (two player), or can you only play against someone online?

Shame, I pre-ordered the madcatz bundle from the Capcom Store and just got an email stating its been backordered. Here we go again.

@Jiggah: Thanks, man. Appreciate it.

I actually prefer a keyboard over controllers (except for doing 360° motions), though of course a stick exceeds both of those.

I'm just worried the online won't be big.

The good thing about the PC version is that you can use either PS3 or 360 sticks for it, making it the "universal" version. It probably won't be adapted in tournaments since no one wants to set up a bunch of moderately expensive PC's, but it's a pipedream of mine.

I am glad to hear it is a great port. Now I really should start playing my 360 version again...

I have it and love it, this version looks fricking awesome at max settings at the highest res. I don't care much for the shaders but everything else make this game look notably better the PS3 and 360 versions. When I ran the game it shocked me how good it looked, the lighting and particle effects look so much better.

Capcom have done an amazing job.

Been playing the crap out of it since it FIIIINALLY unlocked on steam, god this game kicks so much ass.

Capcom surprisingly is the only one Japanese publisher whose entry to the PC market has been successively marked with ports that look as good if not better than their console counterparts, cheaper, and runs on a host of multiple configurations. To call their foray into the PC business a success on their part is a profound understatement. For $40.00, at 20 dollars cheaper than the price of the console version, with host of controller and graphics options and full range of multiplayer and DLC possibilities, they had gone beyond the requirement of a simple direct to port job and enthrals PC users. The only downside to this is the ever present copy protection scheme that resides on every install, which is something every PC gamer has to abide with nowadays. PC users should reward Capcom for their smashing job by actually purchasing and supporting their product for once.

Fired this up this morning after lugging my behind to the post office, it's pretty amazing what they did. Not sure if I prefer this version as the network stuff suffers from some issues I thought would be obsolete on a PC, but for the price I can't really complain.

now the pc players can join the action

Wasn't the RE4 PC version really bad? "

It looks fantastic on my 22" monitor and it runs at a constant 60 frames per second. I skipped the console version waiting for this release. It on sale at steam and no DRM.
