Listen, pal. I'm not so insecure that I need to blame a ****ing controller for sucking at a game. I own up to it.

Really now? If you had the PS3 version I would be poling your ass online right about now.

ROFL! NERD FIGHT!

But seriously, WTF does poling mean, and what's up with your weird sexual sh*t all the time, TMB? It's creeping me out, dude.

Manic depression, Adult Swim and Newgrounds rotted my brain out. There's really nothing left.

Oh man, yeah, if only I had the PS3 version so I could "play" with you, and not with people who actually matter.

Okay, so my brand new Street Fighter IV fight pads came in the mail last night. I started over with the game using my new pads, and I gotta' say my old beastly habits are coming back. Outside of a full digital joystick, this is probably the best thumb pad I have ever played a fighter pad. The D-Pad is on a pivot, just like the good ole' Saturn 6-button controller. No more flubbed moves, no more badly timed jumps, no more anything. Everything is working as it should.

Basically, if you had the PS3/360 pad for fighters, get this thing.

So what were you referring to here?

The modern D-pads just aren't suited to fighting games, so I'm going to have to get an arcade stick for this baby to stand any chance.

I was referring to that old SFII Anniversary controller from 2003 they released for PS2. It sucks. Feels like a toy. I ordered the new fight pad in hopes that it would replicate the Saturn pad in both shape and feel, otherwise I would have to get a stick. Fortunately, that's not necessary now.

I hear Street Fighter pads are very absorbent.

I don't actually have the game, but I've been watching the animated prologues/endings online -- I'm not too keen on some of the voices. The endings also seem kinda weak to me, but maybe there are additional in-game cutscenes that help to flesh things out? Still, no SF ending has seemed as satisfying to me as the ones from good old SFII (and subsequent versions).

SFIII's were okay, though.

That's for damned sure. Cheapest character I've seen since the last boss in Subspace Emissary.

Tabuu is tough, but he isn't even in the same stratosphere as Seth.

Damn, that's creepy. A boss cheaper than Tabuu?

Haven't played it yet, but I'm aching for the chance.

Has anyone completed arcade mode? I've only tried a few times with Ryu and I can't do it. On easy. And even with just one round. Everyone is a pushover right up until I get to him. I've beaten him in the first round before but then he just doesn't let you get off the floor in the next two. It's ridiculous. **** whoever said this game was accessible.

I've beaten it about 24 times, at least. A lot of that was 1 round on easiest though, with characters I don't know how to use.
