I was curious if there are many others out there that are just now getting into SFIV with the release of super. If so, it'd be cool to play with some new players like myself. My gamertag is:  I ACE 1991 I 
 
EDIT: Oops, move this thread to the Super Street Fighter IV forum.

i skipped four.  
 
i will buy marvel vs capcom though. because thats actually cool to me. 

I might, if I can get my shit together

i played SF4 a little but traded it in. but i will be getting SSIV and will practically be brand new to it.

Alright tunaburn, I'll add you.

I never played IV, but I am picking up Super this week, mainly because it's cheap. 
 
I'm quite sure I'll be getting my arse kicked repeatedly over XBL for a while.

Maaybe, though I'm not willing to pay towards a decent fight stick. Playing with a controller still doesn't put me at much of a handicap or anything though, right?

I suck you can add me; my gamertag is Skytylz.

me but i won't be able to afford it on release :( will get it eventually though

Super IV is a lot less noob friendly than IV was. A lot of the gameplay adjustments came from balance the spammed attacks that a lot of lower and mid level players took advantage of. Don't jump into Super IV thinking you can just Shoryuken-mash your way to the top, or Tiger Shot spam all day without repercussions, because a lot of the characters have the tools to get around and punish that sort of wankery in Super IV. Everybody is hella more offensive and viable to shutting bullshit down. I'm glad this is one thing they saw that was problematic in IV.

" @Napalm: Do you know if reversal windows are any tighter? There was mention of it before, but the issue has kind of been skirted over from all that I can muster. "

I picked up SFIV a couple weeks ago because it was only $20 at Best Buy and I'm going to be getting SSFIV. I'm not very good and haven't been able to play or practice with vanilla SFIV nearly as much I wanted, but I'll be looking for some games soon.

I heard they tightened up the graphics a little bit.

No new jack here, but I am jumping back on the bandwagon, as long ago I lost my copy of SFIV.

" @Napalm: I know about the SRK damage nerfs and priority changes (they are more likely to get stuffed/trade, right?), but I hadn't heard any of the framerate discussion. Either way, its pretty cool. I'm not massively keen on throwing out a cr.short and eating a random srk because of it; or meaties being essentially useless on characters with strong reversals. So if they do turn out to be tighter...yay! "

Bought SFIV a little over a month ago and never really tried it online for fear of being destroyed by people who have been playing it since release. But I suppose I'll have to offer myself up for a kicking at some point, so might as well start with SSFIV.

I'm going in fresh for this game. I've only played SFIV a little bit, but I sucked so bad. I'm getting SSFIV + a fightstick for 360, and if you wanna add me, my GT is NintenDood =)

Didn't they give Ken's FP SRK some extra start up frame invincibility??

If anyone here wants to play my fight sumo friend, my Gamertag is JJOR64.

To all you new duders, go check out  @lordofultima: 's  topic when you get the game. 
 
It has Q and A and a guide.

don't worry about  using Ryu or Ken

I'm jumping in completely new. Gonna Dragon Punch my way to the top...as soon as I figure out what a dragon punch is.

It's really weird, because what is now considered random thanks to Street Fighter IV, used to be what the entire game was based on (psychic shoryuken). Have you ever watched videos of Super Turbo being played? It's a bunch of psychic DP's hitting limbs that haven't even animated fully. But in SFIV, people think it's scrubby and that you shouldn't do a "random" uppercut without the meter to cancel it. Just pointing that out, pretty weird that people do Ultras on reaction to something, and it's considered random.  I know that's not what you're talking about, you were more along the lines of mashing reversals. Which is pretty dumb, but whatevs. "

Really? Well that's certaintly reassuring. I suppose it'll be more difficult to master it with a pad? But ah well, long as the possibility is still there. I'll probably suck for quite a while anywhoo, no matter what control method I use =P "

i'm thinking about getting super street fighter 4. i never played 4 before. generally button mashers aren't my type of game.

I have literally never played a Street Fighter game before, and I've been looking forward to SSFIV to jump into the series.  Anyone can add me if they want (gamertag:  Pox22), but I won't be hopping online until I have a basic grasp of the game.

"  generally button mashers aren't my type of game. "

This will be my first Street Fighter game. The only other fighting games I own are Soulcalibur 2 and 4, and Marvel vs Capcom 2. 
I AM PUMPED. I've already learned most of Ryu / Ken's  moves and some other miscellaneous information. Giant Bomb has taught me a lot.

Random dp's are legit. I train people to tech kara throws at the end of block strings, then when they think they figured me out, I will do a delayed srk which always leads to counterhit full ultra. Gotta keep them guessing. "

in my opinion it's way to soon to release a new version of Street Fighter IV.

That's some grade A truth right there. "

I rented SF4 fairly recently to try it out and couldn't get into it really as I joined in too late in the game. Hopefully SSF4 will attract some new players.

You just don't know "

Have some experience, had great frustrated playing IV using the Xbox 360 controller. Have been thinking about getting a fight stick for Super Street Fighter 4 but hearing bad things about the Mat Catz Street Fighter 4 Standard Edition Arcade Stick. Not sure yet if I'm willing to splash out on the tourney edition. I do recommend something better then the Xbox 360 controller if your getting the 360 version, cause it fecking sucks. 

I'm gonna jump in on the action having only minimal experience with SSFII, Third Strike, and some MvC2. Feel free to whoop my Guile and whatever other character I decide to main (probably Makato and maybe Juri). I'm not that great, but its all about the fun right? At least you'll get free wins.
 
BTW, I'm on PS3, ID: sasnipes. I'll be pretty busy with grad school, but I'll take time to get owned by you guys :P

Hi, my name is Stang, and I am new. I just got a TE stick made by mackcats, and I don't know how to throw fireballs! Please add me and we can learn together!
