After nearly a decade in hiatus, Capcom's signature mainline fighting game series resurfaces with its fourth main installment, combining the traditional 2D gameplay with modern fully-3D graphics.
I have been reading the SFIV forums on here for a while, even though I didn't own the game. I have been looking for a good fighting game on the 360 and you guys have convinced me that this game is worth playing. So today I traded in a whole lot of old games, something I was going to do anyway, and an old 360, and bought myself a used copy SFIV. I have played a little of bit of it and really enjoy it, and was hoping to get involved in your community inside of GB.
My question is though, I have 7 days where I could return SFIV for the 27 dollars I bought it for and put down a pre-order for Super. Is this something I should consider doing? Are most of you guys planning on making the switch? Is it really only going to be $40?
Super Street Fighter IV will make Street Fighter IV vanilla obsolete. That's how fighting games work. As to whether or not you should return SFIV, that's up to you.
Its up to you if you want to start fresh on the new game or get the experience now. I would say keep the game for now since still a lot to be learned from SF4. You'll get use to the basics and learn a handful of characters. The online community is still very strong so there are plenty of people to play. Once Super comes out, you should be ready to hop in with the rest of us. It's mostly the same game and buying both isn't a waste. Also, see if you can find a stick for cheap so you can learn on that as you play the game.
Thanks all! @EvilGreenDevil I'll probably wait on the stick, don't want to drop extra money if I don't actually want to put in the time.
@EvilTwin: @mubress: Yeah I'll probably just play until Super comes out and then trade in SFIV and maybe something else and get it, but that way I give it some time and see how it goes. I'll give it a couple days and see if I enjoy myself.
Granted, I don't pay much attention to used pricing, but I'd reckon returning it now would net you way more. If money isn't an issue, SF4 has a ton of content to tide you over while improving your skills. It's definitely a case of newer is better.
IF you take the time to learn a character somewhat by the time the game comes out at least you won't be jumping in with all these people who will wipe the floor with you.
@JJOR64: Haha I played for a while more today and there is a good chance that I'll hold onto it until I get Super, so at least for now you can stop trying to find where I live.
@AniMoney: Hey that would be awesome as long as you don't mind playing a uber scrub.
@Slax: Please beat his ass for me. He mains Rog, so pick Gief and spam lariat or something lame like that, he will love it! As for me, I am too tired. I am up for some games this weekend though if you around.
I was about to buy Street Fighter IV but heard the announcement of the SSIV so I'm waiting out for that. $40 bucks for a great game plus more? I'm actually sold.
" Yeah just stick with it, and then you won't be a scrub when super comes out. :P I'm down to play if you want. GT is AniMoney "
Always trying to pad your win % by beating the new comers. Shame on you. "
Haha, if that's what he's doing, I a more than willing to help out. I'll play you too if you want! "
I could care less about my win percentage, I don't even use Rog online half the time. "
My point exactly. If you COULDN'T CARE LESS then it would be a whole different story. "
What? Did I use that phrase wrong? "
Yes. If you "could care less" then that means that you do actually care and are capable of caring less. If you "couldn't care less" that means you do not care at all, and thus you're incapable of caring less because you don't care in the first place.

I couldn't care less about using this phrase correctly.
If you got the money then buy Super too when it comes out. My plan is to buy Super then get the thing that you get for having SFIV then trade it in... Or maybe I'll just keep old SFIV. I'll probably only get like £5 for it anyways.
Keep 4 till SUPER comes out. You've got just enough time to learn the game. Also, there are only going to be some minor tweaks to the current roster so you'll have a 1 up on dudes just buying street fighter for the first time.
Though if you think you'll switch to a stick at some point, I wouldn't recommend learning it with a pad first. It will be much harder to pick it up.
I actually think I am passing on Super. Turning on SFIV even for five matches made me not even want to play it. It's probably better in the long run, it might as well be a fuckin' addiction.

Well, hand in your resignation tomorrow, we'll see you next Tuesday.

You really have to stop saying shit like that, what is this, the 3rd or 4th time you have said you are done? We all know you will be on Live day 1 of Super's release.
@Napalm: Everyone needs a break, maybe try cleansing your palate and branching out to other video games or just other hobbies. I'm sure you'll return as usual, though.
@Stang: I don't think so. I might come back around, though, as of right now, I really don't have much an urge to play. Before, I said I was done because of exterior problems that SFIV affected, but now I literally just don't have an urge to play, regardless of whether I win or lose. But like I said, I may come back around, around the time SSFIV is released. But right now, I'm not sweating it too much.
I'm not at home, but no, I really don't want to, actually. However, I am craving a Wendy's #2, hold the pickles and mustard, omg. "
Oh man now I want Wendy's. "
Wendy's Triple.Ooh. So yummy, hot and juicy. It melts in your mouth when you bite into it, all soft and warm, sloshing around in your mouth, yummmmmmmy...
