I will get the game by tomorrow.

Really waiting to play this from the day they announced it for PC.

I will be spending next few months playing local co-op with friends.

[baccilus]

Is this available in India or will we have to wait for the steam sale?

[asingh]

How different is this from SFIV standard for PC......?

There are two things here.

1) Super Street Fighter 4: Which was released for consoles a year after SF4's release. Had 10 new characters, couple of new online modes, new arenas. First, thought to be released as a DLC, but later got out as a stand alone game. Due to it's sheer size. Also, said by capcom as a swan song to the saga.


2) Super Street Figher 4: Arcade Edition: This includes 4 new characters, balance tweaks. Available as a DLC, to SSF4 owners. Also, as a Standalone game. This time for PC users as well.

Any difference in graphcis and camera angles. Does the camera rotate..Tekken/MC types..?

[vickybat]

^^ Rotates while performing special moves. Fighting is strictly 2d and is a unique style.

In a different league than tekken/mortal combat.

No side stepping here. They ditched Side stepping long ago

[asingh]

^^
Same as SFIV for PC though right..??

[vamsi_krishna]

Yes. Except some balance tweaks, core gameplay remains same as SF4.

So, I can run this thing.




Warming up with a new character.




Freaking huge roster. 39. But, tekken has 40

[Ethan_Hunt]

Tekken isn't Street Fighter. So even if it has 100 players in the roster, it will never be as complex as Street Fighter's gameplay styles.

[soumo27]

It has Split Screen????

[mitraark]

Why know DOA for PC ????

You don't need a split screen there are two players on screen and two players to control them. Its simple.

I've played and wasted serveral days of my life on both the games. And am a Pro in Tekken and Semi-pro in SF4. I can tell you that both are different leagues. Streetfighter has limited number of moves and the key is to link those limited moves with one another. Where Tekken on the other hand, has insane amount of move list, and the key is to remember and master those. While Street Fighter's key in this regard is remember the timing to link those attacks. Street Fighter has no side stepping, which plays a major role in tekken. Tekken relies on blocking the enemy attacks, SF concentrates on evading them(though there is a block system). SF has Ex, Super guages to pull of special moves easily once the guages are filled. Tekken on the other hand... has no guages and meters, but moves that drain opponents health bar are very tough to pull of that can be reversed if not blocked. Which brings us to the next sweet thing called "Reversals". While SF4 implemented the reversals with Focus attacks but that will only work with punches and kicks. We can't reverse special moves but can only escape from them, Tekken has a very complex reversal system of reversing Punches, kicks, throws and special moves and even a reversal to the reversals(chickens).

All in all... both are complex in their own regard. SF became more famous than tekken because of the production values and Capcom brand.

Street Fighter 4 is the only fighting game to make it's way to PC in ages. Thanks to Capcom.. they released SSF4 again for PC. Many publishers feel that fighters are strictly for console market.. due to several obvious reasons.

Dead or Alive (DoA) is a nice martial arts movie starring a lady known as Holly Vallance.

i like that actress....

[quixand]

SF4AE takes you back to those 64bit gaming days as far as Menu navigation etc and character selection is concerned. Extremely retro.

Gameplay is same, well almost.

[Zangetsu]

vamsi_krishna,
r u playing SSF4 for PC.if yes then do post your experience & comparison with previous SF4 (PC)

[vamsi_krishna]

Yes. /me playing PC version.

And, yes.. there are plenty of differences.

New opening and ending sequences for all the characters and the game.

New artworks in mainmenu and submenus.

14new characters

a bonus round after stage 3 which asks you to smash a car. And another one after stage 6 which asks you break the barrels. Both are cool. Easy to get into.. difficult to complete.

Chanllange mode has been changed. Now, instead of 6 levels which had set of combo challenges, now... there are 21 levels which will have one combo each. Nice way to get know a character

Yes, there are some balance changes and hitbox changes. But, most of the entry level players will not even recognize it. Few character's attack damage has been reduced and I noticed few more attacks taking more than usual frames to complete.

Also, each and every character now has new moves, special combos. I only tried with couple of characters. And all of them had a new uber cool super and ultra combo. Including normal attacks.

I lost the count. But there are handful of new stages. Venues here are more dynamic than the venues in original SF4.

Visually the game feels same. But runs a lot lot better.

I wasn't much into the game due to some work. I'll add any differences that I've found later.

In a word... SSF4 has changed a lot from SF4.

[vickybat]

^^ Do you play with a controller ?

[Zangetsu]

^^vamsi thanx for the info
& what abt Bugs & FPS performance?

so which one u like SF4 or SSF4?

me too will be getting it soon

[vamsi_krishna]

Yes controller. Keyboard is a good medium too. But I got used to controller. Can't switch to KB. But, Some one is starting new.. they can do well with keybard. Key movements like half circles and quarter circles are easy to pull off with keyboard.

No bugs. This game is fine tuned to max. With a C2Q Q8200, 4gb DDR2 and a HD 4890 with maxed 1080p setting I'm always getting 100+ frames. So, Its a sweet performer I say.

I liked this one more than SF4. Because this is basically SF4+more bad assary.

[Zangetsu]

^Thats y like Capcom so much.I think they have soft corner for PC gamers even though they develop more for consoles.

Hope Namco will do the same with Tekken

[vickybat]

^^ Even i'm waiting for that to happen but is highly unlikely.

I am a huge tekken fan & an expert in JIN KAZAMA.

TekkenXstreetfighter & StreetfighterXtekken will allow both franchises to marry. They will be incredible fighting games having best of both worlds.

[vamsi_krishna]

IMO.. both will take a back seat to a less familiar game named "Virtua Fighter". A game which can only played by the people who know how to play the game. In games like SF, Tekken, MK, we can see absolute rookie players taking on moderate and entry level players just by mashing some random buttons. But, that won't happen in Virtua Fighter. Button mashing will only make you a sitting duck. Not to mention no fireballs, no jumping 30 feet into the air.
