@Sweep: stand alone game, not dlc. But it is going to be value priced. So less than 50 or 60 but not sure how much less.

@Sweep: well, this is how fighting games always work. The first version of a fighting game is allways the limited barebones version followed by several incremental improvement versions that you are expected to also buy. It worked that way for street fighter 2, street fighter alpha, and street fighter 3. On the plus side the later versions from capcom tend to have alot of improvements and system changes, new characters, new story, the works. So if you like fighting games alot its definitely worth your dollar. If you are only caually into fighters, t hen maybe not.

what's wrong with people like you!?
it's his anti air move, and a great special to link into and a way to go into an ultra. 
It's not all he does, it's just a useful move. You just sound like you're pissed as you randomly jump into people.

L4D was promised free DLC alla TF2, instead we got L4D2. Thats all I wanna say on that.
 
This sort of thing is expected with fighting games tho, it will be cheaper 40-50$ and have more characters. If you don't like it then don't buy it. I know a lot of people will be super hyped about it (Mostly people in the SF4 forums) So its defiantly welcomed but not for everyone.

Wait, teams are created based on PP? So how do I team up with my friends? We'll just get split if we all have similar PP ranks...

Still boggles my mind how clueless developers are about how people play games online.  
 
There still seems to be no clear way for me and n number of players on friends to make a lobby together, and take turns fighting while the others watch.  Mode 1 looks right, but i don't want to do it with random people in my XP bracket, i want do it with my friendlist!!!

@Supermarius: 
 
I remember listening to the podcast and Jeff/Ryan and co were all fine with the idea of it (except Vinny iirc).
 
Maybe thats just how they are used to fighting games back in the day, but unless I can get a 75% return on my trade in im going to pass up on this.
 
its just such a slap in the face to those who bought it originally

that's how YOU play online. the majority of people use matchmaking but it doesn't matter because it seems like you can use matchmaking with randoms or invite friends.

I like the oldschool advertising and how they just added "Super" onto it.  It's so much better this way.

I'm a bit worn out on Street Fighter, but I can kinda dig this.  I'm ready for whatever, I won't be giving up. Nothing will break my spirit.

@themanwith4chans: thats the weird thing. To alot of capcom or snk fans the incremental update is not considered a bad thing, but a really good thing. People like that a kof game came out every year (i have kof98, 99, 00, 01, 02, 03, kof11, and kof 02UM, the japanese import and those are all arguably incremental updates). I think that what makes these updates ok for fighting games it that if you add 5 or 6 new characters, or more, that alone is almost a whole games's worth of content because of how long it takes to master new characters. New characters means lots of new gameplay and the new modes just become icing on the cake. But yeah, if you arent a fighting game nut, then this seems offensive.

I'm going to be anal and say that they still didn't fix the blocking to sound like in the arcade version of SF4. I'm kidding of course, even though judging from 0:26 it seems like they changed something about it, visually speaking.

Super stands for super idiots that will get ripped off by buying the same game twice. This should be a 10/15 dollar DLC pack.

But yeah it'll be 40 dollars. Kind of crappy, but they're also adding new characters and stuff. I'll probably get it.
