Ultra Street Fighter IV

[df0]

Truth be told, that'd be a game I'd definitely buy if is it like the original and not the awful sequel.

[ah]

So that whole chat about how you were one of the mo-cap actors in Bayonetta 2 was just an elaborate wind-up?

[cale]

I'm one of the barrels in the bonus stage of Ultra.

Some excellent, excellent Guile versus Dan matches with Iggy Koopa earlier. Such a fun matchup to play since Dan really has to get in and Guile really doesn't want him to. Dan's j.lk can mess up a lot of Guile's relatively slow anti-air normals. Igloo has great adaptability with those though, from all sorts of ranges. I need to learn to pay attention to when characters move, losing their charge. Guh.

[IgTerminals]

Anyone around for fights in 15ish minutes?

[IgTerminals]

I am free all afternoon, all evening and night today. I do hope to get a spot of pugilism in against you fine gentleman today.

Oh! I do hope there's biscuits.

[Judgement]

I'll be on in the evening around 7.30.

Last night was bad for me, just couldn't win.

[sith]

I got Infexious round last night and he had a money match VS Arturo Sanchez, was amazing to watch. I'll try and get some videos up.

[mayor_mike_haggar]

What's the lag like vs north american mans? I never play them messen'. I never play anyone though

[joeplus]

I've had a few decent connections with them across the pond. Canada seems to be more reliable than the US.

[IgTerminals]

Anyone around?

I re-discovered GGPO this week. Fun times getting bodied all over the shop.

[Qazimod]

I kind of ditched my PC GGPO client after 3rd Strike Online Edition was released.

I can't be certain when I'll be around this weekend but I'll keep an eye out for fightings if any lobbies are happening. I also have a three-day weekend so Monday Fighter could be a thing

[andygt]

I just paid £6.59 to hear a man in child's game say arcade edition and to save my weary legs if ever the ssfiv disc isn't in the xbox (it is never not in in the xbox)

[IgTerminals]

Anyone up for some matches?

[Qazimod]

Good lobbying yesterday again I think I was outclassed by everyone else there but it was still lots of fun.

[IgTerminals]

Yeah was really fun lobby dude. Sorry my mic was charging. Great to play you again.

:-)

[nuskool]

Anyone popping to HoG this weekend for the Ultra location test?

I'm down in London tomorrow so might try and go for a bit.

[nuskool]

Also, it's Winter Brawl weekend. Team tourney was on last night and is archived on sp00ky's twitch.

Does anyone else think Capcom are leaving the reveal of Character 5 a bit late? Only four months left, and they've spent longer than that balancing the others so far. Will they get the balancing right with so little time left? It only requires one broken character to spoil a game, after all.

[nuskool]

Yeah there is a danger of that. If I recall correctly didn't they say they'll reveal at Final Round (mid March)? (Home) release was June but isn't Japanese arcade release earlier? I think they should just about have enough time to tweak. If not I guess it won't be long before a patch is released.

[Qazimod]

I don't know... wasn't the Hakan reveal video circulating a month or two before Super's release? Capcom like their late reveals...

[Nate Dogg III]

Hakan was revealed about eight weeks before Super came out so there's precedent for leaving it late. Given that it took them a revision or two for him to become even vaguely competitive suggests they ought to do it earlier but hey, that's Capcom for you.

[IgTerminals]

Oh yeah, I'm not saying Capcom haven't left it too late before, and from a marketing point of view it makes sense. But with their huge push to get worldwide loctests with this version, and their insistance that this will be the most balanced version yet, it seems somewhat counter productive to leave one character so late. If she turns out to be rubbish, it spoils the new character. If she turns out to be S Tier alone, she'll spoil the game.

Just wondering.

[ah]

Don't know what you're worrying about - they released the original AE without much location testing for Yun and Yang and it turned out fine that time. I'm sure this one will be perfectly balanced as well.

[IgTerminals]

Heh. Yeah...

[mayor_mike_haggar]

Teasing it out this long has removed any anticipation that anyone had for it, at least. Especially since they've basically spelled out that it's a bison doll or something

[Tofu]

You're probably right in general terms (and he is always coming up with crazy schemes to try and make money), but in this case he wasn't suggesting you should have to pay bitcoins to him/some other organisation to play matches but that you should be able to bet them against your opponents in tiny increments, just so that there's something on the line to make people care about winning. He thought it would stop so many people playing crazy in online matches.

"People play this game like they've never lost anything important... and that's because if you only play online then when you lose, you haven't lost anything important." - Gootecks, while losing a ranked match to someone playing less cautiously than him.

It's an interesting idea.

Thank you for replying.

[joeplus]

Yo I'm definitely picking up Cody again. I have to make it up to him for all those beatings he took when I first got AE.

GGs Curtis and friends!

[Curtis]

Great games all round. So many close matches that went down to the last pixel of health. Plenty of comedy moments as well. Highlights being; 2 Cammy CQC's in one match, followed by a Double K.O. And the 'Scarf Crew vs Oni' slugfest. lol!

More soon!
