Straight up: No.
I kinda like SFIV, but playing it online puts so much pressure on me, it's not really "fun" as in "having a good time".

Will you buy Super Street Fighter IV
" @FluxWaveZ: They've said a few times that it won't be full retail price. They've just said that if you own SFIV you get exclusive content or something like that. "Check the time of creation of this thread and check what I actually wrote. Information on SSF IV was not actually revealed by the time of the post.
" @FluxWaveZ: Oh, well the word is you are the street fighter pro, so assumed you knew. "Huh? Who said that? And even if I was an expert at the game; how exactly would I get information that no one else, except for those who work for the Street Fighter development team at Capcom, knows? Your assumption is totally nonsensical.
He didn't even read the article! Look at that! He's spouting his mouth again when he doesn't know a damn thing! How cute!" @Pixelzombie said:
Thanks for linking me to a bunch of pretentious shit :D" . @Soap said:
Well, congratulations, your hope is fulfilled." I really hope I'm mistaken but are they expecting me to pay full price for a couple of characters that should of just been in the original game? There is a word for what this should be you know..... it's called fucking DLC. "
For everyone who magically knows reasons why this shouldn't be a disc release and that it won't be worth the money, please read this and heed step 1. "
I guess I wouldn't be so pissed if the original Street Fighter IV had been called the more honest title of "Street Fighter IV : Half Baked Edition" then, seeing as this seems to be the version of SFIV that the original should of been. "
Ok, your right... you caught me! I didn't read the whole article, but as I previously stated the reason for that being is because it sounded like it was written by a four year old fan boy." @Soap said:

Maybe you should try reading some time ;)
EDIT: Oh and btw, the reason I'm so royally steamed off by this is because even though it's coming at budget price, to me that doesn't mean anything as I live in the UK, and most budget games america gets we get at full retail.

" @FluxWaveZ: Balrog forum, remember that? and many others whenever I am on the SFIV forum. I wanna fight you if you have the 360 version! "No, I actually don't remember a Balrog thread that I posted in. I have the Xbox 360 version, though. From my personal experience playing users on this forum, user Symphony is way better than me so I wouldn't consider myself pro.
" @FluxWaveZ: Turns out teachers decided it would be fun to give me 2 projects, an essay, a chapter in history, and more petty assignments. Sorry, I will just see when your playing it sometime and as k you to join. "Alright. Mind you, I often play other games than SF IV but if you just feel like fighting against me, just message and I'll join also.
I just can't support Capcom on Super Turbo versions of games anymore. I bought Street Fighter II three times in my life because they kept updating the rosters and moves. Back then it was ok because there was no such thing as DLC so if you wanted to update you had to buy a new cartridge.
We live in the age of DLC now and if Fallout 3 can nearly double the size of the game among many other titles I do not see how Capcom cannot figure out a way to add a few more characters into a game. If SSFIV comes to be about $30 or less I might consider it but I just won't support this kind of cash grab behavior like I used to.
you guys all seem to be missing one really, really, REALLY, important thing here when spitting out the idea of this being DLC....
dlc is not going to help tournaments.
first and foremost, street fighter has been and always will be the premiere tournmanet fighting franchise. so the decisions that capcom makes effects the entire scene all over the world. hell, it is fucking hard enough most of the time to have the console characters unlocked for most tournaments. much less having to make sure that each system has an active xbox live or PSN account on to be able to install your vision of "dlc" so that event personel can start running matches at their stations and quickly get players in and out. the amount of extra time to do such a thing would make many tournament scenarios not possible. no where near as easy as passing a memory card around with a save file to copy over.
so no, this game by that very nature alone would not work as DLC. capcom saw that just as easily as the scene could see that.
As long as it doesn't cut into my hooker and cocaine money i'll buy it.
Also I can why capcom is making this a disc release. Its because of the huge tournament scene for SFIV having it on a disc just makes it alot easier for tournaments then DLC. They should put it out as DLC and a disc though.
I will buy it since I got the first one for 20$ new plus it sounds like this will be a major improvement
