Acrade endition is a complete waste of money.What? Yeah and beyond Fei Long and Yun being insane, everyone else was balanced nicely. Makoto was finally made playable compared to SSF4, Sakura is great, Cody was buffed up a bit, ect. Sure things like Vega and T.Hawk being nerfed made me scratch my head but overall with a little patching it could be potentially more balanced than Super was. That is kinda saying a lot though, no game is perfect.
Rebalancing characters is what updates are for...
Evil Ryu de-canon's SFIV altogether, as well as him being a akuma clone isn'y bad enoughNow I can agree with Evil Ryu to an extent, I just hate his character but Oni is awesome and kinda makes sense. Both are "what if" characters, they aren't canon really they are just representations of what could happen. Evil Ryu is if Ryu gave into the Satsui No Hadou and Oni is if Akuma just lost his humanity and became a manifestation of the Satsui No Hadou, in other words a demon(hence the name "Oni"). Also Oni only has a tatsumaki that resembles a shoto, otherwise his fireballs and shoryuken are different(the shoryuken is a multi hit up close but a single hit in the air and not that strong). He also is easier to combo with than any other Shoto, hell maybe the easiest character to combo with in the game since all of his moves just flow so well. Add in unique supers and lots of other moves and hes about as shoto as Goken, which isn't THAT shoto.
Oni makes no sense, basically he's the "Ken" to gouken, yes ANOTHER Shoto
Yun and Yang were useless, they were to replace Gen and Fei Long in SF3, besically another wasteI don't see a resemblance to any of those characters. All Yun and Fei share is that they are both great at pressuring and have some good brute force, otherwise they have completely different ways of doing this. Yang has Rekkas like Fei but hes a lot different. I have no idea where you got Gen from though, he shifts from 2 different styles which last I checked was not in Yun or Yang's repertoire.
My final thoughts. not even worth playing, SSFIV was good enough, the only plus to this game is the PC version, in which you get your "super" with extrasSSFIV had it's problems too, most of which were address with Arcade Edition. Most of the problems with AE were the balance issues with some of the new characters which again, probably will be patched soon since Ono plans on it as he realizes the game is unbalanced because of it.
Man... They could have picked any number of cool characters from 3rd Strike or the Alpha games, and they take the easy way out with palette swap twins and Evil Ryu + Eviller Akuma. Why not Birdie and Eagle? Why not Hugo, Twelve, Oro, or Q?There's always Street Fighter X Tekken. Capcom did say they wanted to add more than just SSF4 characters, so here's hoping we get a Q or Necro appearance. Hell even Alex, he's awesome!
I'm much more of an X fan, I got bored of Megaman after teh first few and X brought me back into the game. So I'd like more X games... preferably before Axel, that dweeb, appeared.
about the X8 ending- Axl is fine, whatever happens, he doesnt die, since he is just fine in Command Mission. (which was pretty great, IMO, and STILL looked better than X8)
THIS IS NOW A MEGAMAN THREAD.No....no it's not. I mean megaman is kewl and all but why not make another thread about it?
CONDOR DIVE CONDOR DIVE CONDOR DIVE CONDOR DIVE CONDOR DIVE*sigh* if only I could do that anymore. The patch seriously crippled him for no reason, he wasn't broken in the first place :/
My friends tend to hate me when I pick T. Hawk. For pretty good reasons, really.
The patch seriously crippled [T.Hawk] for no reason, he wasn't broken in the first place :/
this Thread is now DEADYou do realize that's a game update right? Someone's salty. All it does is re balance the characters, its not unusual for fighting games to do that. Mortal Kombat does that all the time.
Please make a Super Street Fighter Arcade Edition ver.2012 thread
Capcom made history, they are the first gaming company that makes perishable games.

Edit: Also the patch will fix Yun and Yang. Those who bitched about him(like me admittedly) can rest easy now.
a simple "we're patching the game" would have been enough, I think capcom is self-aware that they are satirizing themselves with a new line in the title...Blazblue kinda does the same thing, Caocom just uses a different subtitle. An update is an update, crying about that is pointless. Plus I think UMVC3 had to happen, MVC3 was awful so I can see why they are fixing their problems so early. Also its gunna be 40 bucks with 12 new characters, since jill and shuma were 5 bucks a piece imagine if the other 12 were the same. You would be paying over 70 bucks in DLC. Anyway back on Street Fighter, you really shouldn't be surprised at this point anyway. Look at every other Street Fighter game. At least this one didn't get over 10 games like Street Fighter 2 or over 5 like Alpha. It has 3 expansions, which is on par with SF3 so that's reasonable. Also its not just capcom that does this, Arksys does the same thing with Blazblue and SNK did do the same in a way with KoF since they did recycle a lot in between games. The point is that its kind of a fighting game thing that yes Capcom did start but you can't say its only their fault anymore.
Given their current reputation, ver.2012 can't be too good.
on the other hand, its worlds better than that UMvC3 Bullshit that their trying to sell, even the "pro" matches are pathetic.
I'm pretty sure if you can win by only doing condor dives then there's something wrong that needed fixing. Not to mention they rebalanced based on what the tournament peeps reported back so I would guess that there are good reasons for most of the changes.
I'm pretty sure a ducking HP anti-air or similar anti-air from most people would either trade or stuff the Condor Dive. But then I haven't kept up with balance patches and whatnot.
