I managed to get my copy of SSFIV at 7:00 yesterday mourning and it was the beginning of a glorious day. Well, except for the part were I get my ass handed to me repeatedly. I have gripes but none of them concern the actual gameplay. All of what I believe to be wrong with the game are cosmetic and logistical errors on Capcom's part.
- They removed the Indestructible song Wha!?!
- The new main menu background looks like Ryu and Ken are posing for a Yaoi manga cover.
- Multiplayer matches are still a bitch to get going. "Unable to Join Session! You too fucking slow!"
- New story-line cutscenes pales in comparison to vanilla SFIV's so far.
- Overall, all of the menus feel lackluster and rushed.
- The trails still do nothing to show players how the game works. I think Jeff mentioned on the Podcast that the trail mode needs to teach Theory... it doesn't. Trail and error are the only way to finish them. "Hope you know this guy has to be in the corner and it has to be a meaty hit for this combo to work!" This was supposed to be for beginners like me! The timing on some of these combos are so freaking insane no normal person is going to get it. Unlike Dudley's Target combos which are for some reason ungodly easy.
Thats about it, rant off.
