Ah come on, Ben, there's dozens of 'em. SNK is notorious for this. In fact, cheap bosses are known to have fallen to "SNK Boss Syndrome".

I completed it with Ryu today. One round on very easy. Seth does not seem to change difficulty though.

I finally got to play Street Fighter IV! It actually didn't disappoint me at all.
Was helping my friend unlock characters, and we got Sakura, Dan, and Gen so far.
Actually, I'm a little disappointed to see Sakura still a teen wearing the over-used Japanese schoolgirl uniform.
Aside from the fact that there's absolutely no originality wearing something that just about EVERY female teen in all of anime wears as well; I also found it off that, according to Street Fighter's timeline, Street Fighter II happened years after Alpha. And Street Fighter IV takes place after II. So this would all mean that Sakura would be grown up then. Also, acording to the Sakura manga, by the time SF II began, Sakura was grown up and a phys-ed teacher.

Well, if you download her alternate costume, she has a "mini-Ryu" outfit and you can see all the little fight scars all over her face. I thought it was a nice touch.

That's more like it.

Also, yes, Seth is cheap as ****. I hate his bullsh*t teleporting grab. It's like, he'll teleport right next to you and instantly grab you without a split-second of reaction time for you.
Though, surprisingly, Dan was the only character that could beat Seth with relative ease.

I found that so funny when I unlocked Dan. Crimson Viper and Chun Li just stand there and take the abuse, while Dan just just fly through the air and Dankūkyaku Seth to death because he rarely blocks or counters.

Dan is so damned funny in SFIV.

You deserve a boot up your ass. The fact that you went so far as to accent that word is frightening.

You know I just went to Wikipedia and copy/pasted that. I can't even spell my own grandmother's maiden name correctly.

*XERO* · 03-04-2009, 09:34 PM

Just one question:

How does the Shun Goku Satsu look?

*XERO* · 03-04-2009, 09:57 PM

Ah, thanks, Doom.

*raphael_is_cool* · 03-17-2009, 05:06 PM

Okay. Just felt I have to say this. I've been playing this and SSFIITHDR back and forth and actually enjoy HDR more.

Something about the way IV controls feels wrong and I just plain dislike ultra attacks. I'm not saying IV is bad, I just wouldn't jump in and play it much unless friends wanted to.

**ThirdMarioBro** · 03-17-2009, 08:55 PM

Well, it is hard to break 15 years of habit, but I would go to say that SSFIIHD feels more rigid than ever before now because of the HD sprites. The characters move so rough and jerky now. That doesn't bother me with low-rez sprites, but they really should have added in some extra frames. It's hard to play it after enjoying the milky smoothness of IV. Best in the series.

*R-iZZy* · 03-25-2009, 08:18 PM

I'm just in here basically to vent at Seth's unbelievable cheapness. And with that patch problem on the PS3 version [apparently, Seth becomes like 20x harder if you installed the patch, no matter what difficulty is set when going through the Arcade Mode], I almost felt the need to fling my only controller into a wall.

It should not take 45 minutes to defeat Seth, especially not when I have Chun Li.

I've fallen behind on playing the game thanks to projects, exams and essays. But now I've gotten everything out of the way and plan on getting Akuma and Gouken.

**ThirdMarioBro** · 03-25-2009, 09:29 PM

Eh, so I had best disable the Wi-Fi on the PS3 so I can unlock Gouken before that patch ruins me.

*R-iZZy* · 03-26-2009, 02:23 AM

It's basically recommended that you install the game to your HDD, but not the patch. You could even install the patch so long as the game isn't installed. The bug is mainly found when both the game and the patch are installed.

And apparently, this bug is only found on the PS3 version.

**Shredder** · 03-27-2009, 12:21 AM

I realized that I haven't commented much about the game, even though I've been playing it a lot. To get to the point- I love this game. I wasn't sure what to expect at first, since originally I thought Capcom wasn't going to have anything to do with it, so my expectations weren't that high. It turns out this game is probably my favorite SF game after the Alpha series (and sometimes it's hard to say which I like more). Love the movies, character quotes, graphics, training modes, and just the overall look and feel of the game. It has a lot of "personality" to it. The gameplay is excellent and it definitely feels like a Street Fighter game. The online mode is a lot of fun and one of my favorite ways to enjoy the game, although the match-up system could be a little easier to work with.

I agree that Seth is cheap and yeah, it took me forever to beat him with certain characters (especially Guile, I'm embarrassed to admit, and Chun-Li, but I never really play as her anyway). What's this about a patch in the PS3 version?

Dammit. I have it installed. I'd uninstall it to get the patch, but I don't play online anyway, so screw it.

There's a bug to where if you install the patch along with having the game installed to your HDD, Seth will be noticeably difficult, regardless of what difficulty is set in Arcade Mode.

Haha. Yeah, I figured since I don't play online, and since my record was so horrible, it wouldn't be much of a problem for me to delete the game install/patch.

Turns out it worked though. Seth was incredibly easier to beat. As a matter of fact, I've actually unlocked almost all characters now within like two days of uninstalling the game and patch [with the difficulty on Hard with 3-round matches]. So yeah, thank goodness a solution was found. I figure since Seth is the only one I have to unlock, I can install the game and patch again. I need to elevate my skills in online play.

My bf got that a while ago and it is pretty badass. I've played it a bit but still doesn't hold a candle to the original....sorry.
