Are you ready for some Street Fighter? - and by this I mean, what are you all doing in terms of your SF related purchases? Which edition of the game will you be buying? For which system? And will you be purchasing any arcade sticks/specialized controllers?

I'm actually contemplating whether or not to buy STF2HDR before getting SFIV...so, you know, I won't completely get my ass handed to me online :p

Any suggestions?

(Also soz for getting slightly off topic ;))

I'll be waiting for KOF XII, thank you very much.

Jolly Lolly, that's a very good idea. SSF2THDR is one of the reasons why I'm so pumped for SFIV. And yeah, I've been using it to sharpen my SF "skills" in anticipation of SFIV's release. Because it had been a while since I had played a Street Fighter game, and I was never very good at it, either. But I've really surprised myself at how quickly I turned from getting my ass handing to me EVERY game, to actually being extremely competitive.

I got the Xbox 360 version and the Mad Catz control pad. Later I will probably get the SE arcade stick.

Think i'm grabbing the standard edition of SF IV for the Ps3. I have a 360 also but my Live just ran out and I don't feel like renewing it at the moment, but I dunno yet.  I wanted to get the regualr edition FIghtSTick, but I have heard that there is alot of problems with them, and even problems with the TE Stick, so again I dunno.

What do you guys think, should I get the 360 or PS3 version?WHat about a Stick?  Out of my friends I am the most into Street Fighter and the same goes for the people I have on Live, so if the PS3 online will do the same job of no lag fights  I will be happy with that.

So many choices.

Now I can not buy it and get Killzone instead even sooner!

I pre-ordered mine for the ps3. I won't be getting any sticks, and I'm more confortable with the Dualshock 3 that with the 360's controller.

I am pretty excited myself. I am getting the regular, 360 edition and getting a SE controller stick. It should be AWESOME...provided I remember how to play fighting games ;)

In the end though, it's all in good fun.

And Miniman, I'm all for some Lost and the Damned DLC as well, It looks great.

I will be getting the standard PS3 version, will be holding off on fightsticks for the meantime as well.

Yeah I think I'm gonna go ahead and purchase it sometime later today. Hit me up if you wanna play a few rounds, GT: digital447"

im getting the PS3 CE one and the standard 360 one, already i have a fightpad for 360

I preordered the 360 version from gamestop. Picked up a Hori EX 2 for 40 bucks yesterday for the occasion. I've been playing Guilty Gear X2 #reload to get used to the stick, so far I love it. I think I found the last 40 dollar hori stick in the Dallas Fort Worth area, as even the employees at the gs were pissed that I picked up the last one in their store! :)

I'm ready to cry because I'm too broke to buy it.

I'm just getting a regular edition. I see it as more of something for when friends are over - everyone loves Street Fighter. As for the sticks, well I'd need two and I'm not willing to pay for two.
