Oz sure does have some fucked up labeling when it comes to the rating logos. it ruins the art totally!. Is that stuck on or is it printed on?

"They used to have stick on ratings logo's now thier printed on the cover.i've played this game for 8 hours straight so far. Game is incredible.I want to swap out the hori buttons on my real arcade pro 3 for sanwa ones now.
If you find that an annoyance with some games you could get alternative boxes or untainted versions via this site
If you have a look around you might find a PDF file. Take it to a pro printer if your own is not up to scratch.
one thing that has me worried now that i have this game is this:
"one thing that has me worried now that i have this game is this:-Stares blankly-i'm getting the feeling that the stick is starting to feel less responsive than when i first got it 2.5 weeks ago.It doesnt do what lord of ultima had with the mad catz controller where he got stuck in crouch. What i think i'm noticing is. ill be playing as ryu or ken and do the motion for a whirlwind kick and often instead of doing that hell just crouch and do a trip kick as if the stick has become sluggish to return to its centre point. this disapoints me since the actual stick in it is a sanwa stick (Sanwa JLF-TP-8Y-SK). The buttons are hori however, and a few of them are becoming a bit less clicky already one of them is a little stuff. I havent had it not respond to imput at all yet, but its not the best style of button to mash with if you need to do e honda's slap attack or chun li's fast kick.The SA version of the HRAP3 is the same as the normal HRAP 3 except its a different colour and has sanwa obsf 30 buttons in it. I wonder if the actual button slots on the normal hrap3 are exactly the same as the SA's the measurements seem to be the same so i can just hot swap them. I'm assuming that the stick isnt actually busted, and perhaps something is just lose or not tightened properly. I can only hope. Otherwise i will be forced to mod it heh."

Seeing Manachild's picture has totally shattered my illusion of what I thought he looked like. My arms are the absolute OPPOSITE of Mana... I am the UNHAIRIEST 20-year old in the world. People used to think I shaved my legs :(
"Manachild said:Check out my initial impressions. If that goes over your head then SF IV as a whole is completely inaccessible.

That paragraph doesnt have anything to do with fighting games actually, and more to do with arcade sticks and part numbers. That post was mostly aimed at lordofultima, linkyshinks or the other couple of people i know on this forum that know tech stuff about arcade sticks.
"That paragraph doesnt have anything to do with fighting games actually, and more to do with arcade sticks and part numbers. That post was mostly aimed at lordofultima, linkyshinks or the other couple of people i know on this forum that know tech stuff about arcade sticks.Actually I picked up SC4 last year and really enjoyed that. Easy to pick up and helpful to learn.As far as street fighter IV goes, i doubt that you'll ever be able to get into any fighting game if its completely inaccessible to you, considering that the game is far easier to pickup and learn than Tekken, Virtua Fighter, Soul Calibur or anything like that. But then again street fighter always has. I did read your impressions, and i dont mind the fact that unlocking stuff is a grind even if it does artificially make you play the single player more."
I'm not saying your a noob dude, there was no intent to insult in what i said. I was looking at it from the point of view of, i thought SFIV might be easier than say SC4 for you because there are much less moves to learn to begin with. Where as SC characters have well over 50 moves per character and fast multi input combo's. I always saw street fighter as the series where it was more about learning the basics and the few specials and knowing when to best use them. I know there are more systems than that in SFIV but i thought those systems were something that someone might gradually pickup as you played the game more in general.
Chill, it's all good!
"Chill, it's all good!Oh its ok dude, its hard to read peoples tones on the internet, i just wanted to be careful that i wasnt sounding like an elitist.Yeah I like that there's only a few moves to learn, granted. But I really would like some kind of tutorial, so I know the most effective ways to chain them.I'm playing Arcade mode on Very Easy and the rival fight, they've started using ultras/supers and countering them. Wish I knew how to counter them! But I'd have no idea...Also, I get the impression in an even fight, it just becomes a race to use the ultra first, how do you avoid that?"
I bought the ps3 version the load times annoy me after I lose and want to continue quickly. Im installing to hdd right now to see it it speeds it up. Other then that great game altho the computer seems cheap. Im trying to beat the game to unlock characters, got to able and the bastard keeps throwing me over and over. I am still getting used to the game but damn, reminds me of playing with my little brother.

Especially C. viper and rufus sometimes i've found.
