Street Fighter IV
Discussion
Everyone seems to be moist over Race Pro, but the real star in the crown this week has to be the triumphant return of Street Fighter to the consoles. Anyone else got their pre-orders in?
Shopto appear to have shipped this out really early and my copy and new fight pad are waiting at the sorting office for me to go and fetch after work. I've got an extended beat-down session planned for Friday with a mate as it has been far too long.

Been thinking of getting it, looks pretty good and brings back memories of SNES version, Zangief doing a spinning piledriver, ouch.
However, i brought MK V DC last week and found it very hard with the 360 pad to do some of the moves and fatalities. Although a different franchise, seems to have lost some of its magic from the Megadrive/snes/ps1 days.
Dunno if i can justify it and buying a new controller as well. Let us know what you reckon tomorrow...

Looks pretty damn good so far, pad is taking a little bit of getting used to and I need to learn a bit more about the new characters as Abel in particular is proving to be a bit of a headache at the moment, last boss is infuriating to say the least too.
I do like the new attack schemes, the way you can pull off more powerful standard attacks at the cost of a bit of your super bar, the focus attacks where you charge up an unblockable hit and can absorb one hit from an enemy also look like they should add a nice tactical element to the proceedings also.

well never be as good as it was.... street fighter 2 on the SNES, will never be better than that !
You keep telling yourself that son... 
It was a cracking game - esp the turbo vesion - and I had that hacking cart that you could use, so you could turbo the turbo.
The good old days

You'd probably also argue that FPS games don't get any better than Wolfenstein 3D too...

SF IV is £20 in HMV at the moment...couldn't resist buying it despite not really having got stuck in to a beat 'em up for years (difficult to beat Tekken imho) so will be interesting to see how I get on.
Anything i should know?
You'll be much better off with a fightpad or joystick, but it is playable without. Be prepared to see Ken online a LOT. I'd also recommend going to challenge mode and doing the trials for whichever character you choose, a good way to get familiar with the moves and timing.Anything i should know?
