  Super Street Fighter IV!!!!! What I expect to be changed.

  After hinting and delaying the announcement of the next installment in the Street Fighter series for a couple of weeks Capcom finally decided to announce that SSFIV will most likely arrive in Spring 2010. And boy im excited. Street Fighter IV is awesome and I believe the followup will be better.You guys dont understand how pumped I am for Dee Jay!!!!

  Things Im excited for:

  New characters, Dee Jay and T. Hawk especially.

  More than one ultra for each character.

  Glad that I wont have to pay 60 bucks for the game, probably 40 dollars.

  People who keep their SFIV disc get a suprise. Im guessing alternate costumes. (I dont sell my games, and never wud.)

  The supposed online modes that they are adding, ehem quarter match.

  Capcom said they wud balance out priority moves and matchups.

  Now I expect somethings to be fixed up:

  Sagat- His moves have way too much priority and damage. Normals like standing roundhouse, crouching fierce and many jumpins are very good. Ultra juggles on anything, and has too much health compared to the other fighters and does way too much damage. I believe that Sagat is overpowered and broken.

  Ultras- Some characters can barely land an ultra while other like Sagat, Ryu, and Rufus have multiple ways of landing their deadly ultras which is why all three of these characters are top tier in Street Fighter IV. Guys like Guile, Honda, Fei Long have no viable options in which they can land their ultra, unless they bait another into a well timed focus attack. Capcom definitely has to make some of the characters at least have one way to land their ultra, so they can compete with the top and upper tiers.

  Online play- Street Fighter IV like the other games in the series is a game where you need precise timing to nail moves and combos. But when there is lag involved it makes it a lot harder. I dont want to blame lag when i miss a reversal move, or block low instead of high but it seems that imput lag is a factor. Capcom please fix the netcode so we players who cant attend tournaments, and dont have friends to play with offline can improve online just like they were playing beside a person.

  Quarter Match- It was featured in hd remix and MVC2 but not SFIV, im expecting this to come with the game.

  Matchups- Some matchups are way too hard for characters. Since one of the characters I use is Abel I hope they help improve some of the rough matches that he has.

  Recording mode: I would love to record matches that I have offline and online like Halo 3 has. I think it would be neat because I can actually learn from constant mistakes that I make and study from them, and save them to my PS3 hard drive.

  Anyways thats it basically for that. I need to get better before it gets onto shelves.

  A year and a half later (Any Challengers SFIV or HD Remix)

  Haha its weird that im writing a blog after a year and a half of not writing blogs on Gamespot at all. I still check the site every now and then but nothing like before. So whats there to say? All I have to say is Street Fighter!!! I love the series and love how its a game where you know you've practiced and played a lot but get owned by someone not knowing what to do.

  The main point of this blog is to get better at Street Fighter. So im accepting all challengers for SFIV and HD remix. My rules are first to 10 best of of 5 rounds.

  PSN: Fighter21

  Awaiting all challengers. (I dont have a camcorderfor videotaping but i will be posting allmy wins/losses and other stats onmy gamespot profile page.)

  What ive been up to.

  How have you guys been lately? Well i have been doing well not really involving gamespot but just i guess my everyday life. Its been hard lately to come on to gamespot and relax and enjoy it with writing blogs, reading and writing in other peoples blogs, watching the gamespot content and keeping up with video game news. Last Saturday I went out and preordered Metal Gear Solid 4, and bought a Dual Shock 3 Controller. If you are looking into buying one, dont worry because right now there isnt that much of a need for it, because COD4 doesnt have rumble. But ive been thinking about going through Uncharted again with the rumble controller. The controller is noticeably heavier than the sixaxis controller, you'll realize this when you first pick it up and hold it in the palm of your hands. Also the rumble is lighter. Its more of a vibration than a rumble, which is fine for me. I didnt play Uncharted that much so i didnt test it out. But as soon as I start ill start reporting a little more on it.

  Today was a weird day because it was Junior Prom. I decided not to go, just because I didnt feel it was necessary. I never actually thought of asking any girl, plus the money that I would have to spend. 200 dollars for me and my date. Money for renting a tuxedo, and possibly a limo to get there. But its okay because I went to the movies straight after school ended and 12:00 with 3 of my friends. We saw Iron man, it was a very good movie the story plus the acting and quality of the movie were all phenomenal. Go out and see it you wont regret it. After the movies I went to a Gamestop located in the mall and bought Ninja Gaiden Sigma for the PS3. Ive never played it before, so 40 bucks seems like a good deal to me.

  I played some Ninja Gaiden, and so far its very good. I have no problems with it except for the camera.

  See u guys later, hopefully i can get back to gamespot more often than i have been lately.
