I wonder if people will be free to choose this during online play? I was so excited for Ultra Evil Ryu. Now I find myself kind of terrified of the idea of going online to collect PP and running into the likes of V-Sagat, V-Akuma, S-Cammy, AE-Yun, and so on. Oh, and Rose gets that damn 0 frame Ultra back.
BTW, what do you guys think of this idea from Mr. Wizard concerning Edition select?

I feel like most players in the arcades will let it rock. Just make it the tournament standard now, if it becomes broken start dialing it back.
$200 is extreme but if it was like $50 people would legitimately enter it and could be a blast.
One thing is for sure, banning something before its even tried out is pretty fucking dumb. I am not saying this should be standard in tournaments but you should give it a go. Who knows this might end up being like ST and over half the cast is silly.
I think he's half serious half joking. He's gauging the audience to see who bites and make a butt load of cash due to dividends. It would be really interesting to see but lower the price a bit... Its honestly too expensive and wouldn't be worth it because it'll be top 8 sagat/akuma. However, I was interested in what David was saying in bringing back the old players that strictly played Vanilla and have them go against the new blood. At the end of the day, it isn't the character that makes the player, its the player themselves.
Also, I thought we didn't have enough space to let another title rock it (the crazy SF4 edition will be its own thing within the tournament).

Wait is Ultra even gonna be in Arcades?
Yeah. Scheduled for April for arcades iirc.
I have a genuine complaint for Edition Select: The menu text is hard to tell apart. SFIV-SSFIV-SSFIV AE-SSFIV AE R
Capcom really needs to either rethink the option text so it's easy to tell apart, or make the background color change with the text. Although judging by how the game doesn't seem to have enough menu space for both Edition Select and Costume Select, we're probably going to get new UI anyway.

Hopefully there is
New game, new UI. Plus the option for Indestructible to return plz
With the way that Rachel was playing? I don't think casuals would notice how powerful Kokopuffs is.
EDIT: Ah, right, all of top 8 ...

Vanilla Ryu was so stupid. Super fireball traps, trade DP to ultra, stupid Ultra damage.

Great OP Enzo haha.
Can't wait to play Vanilla Ken and just heavy kick sweep combo all day.
Bring my back to the old days.

I thought he still could trade DP into ultra? It's like Daigo's signature move.
They took that out in Super.
I dunno, some of those Vanilla characters were reeeeeeaally bullshit, though.
I can understand the ban for now: it's not like it doesn't give the opportunity to lift the ban at one point, and it's better this way than the other way around, I think. It gives people the motivation to try out the new build to its full extent, and then branch out to the "full cast" once it's starting to need something fresh again.
I'm curious for the online modes, though: will we be able to lock out this choice in rooms?

Super trap was so good back in the day. I would never burn meter because I wanted to troll people with it. I remember once this Abel was FADC'ing my fireballs from full screen thinking he was safe. I waited for him to absorb 3 before I let it rip. Basically 500 damage right there and we stayed about as far apart as possible from each other.
As for Ken, what was really scary about him back in the day was his punish combos. No links necessary, just do cl. HK > HK tatsu/EX SRK and get 350 damage. Other characters Ryu needed to hit a 1f link or Sagat needed a couple of bars to do damage but Ken could do it for free from a simple special canceled normal.
I agree with 1 point that you are making:
Allowing the use of all editions would take away from players motivation to fully explore the Ultra balance changes in depth, because once again, we'd have options.

I'm back.
Circumstances allowed me to keep up with the streams on all 3 days. The only game I wanted to see but ended up skipping was Gundam because trying to keep track of all 4 screens at once became disorienting very quickly.
Blazblue, Marvel and SF were all pretty hype but I feel kind of tuckered out on watching Marvel/SF. It probably doesn't help that I only played both games for a short period of time so I'm not really invested in the games themselves beyond the hype factor. Should be fine for EVO though.
The biggest news for me overall is that Mori wants to bring BB to next-gen. Hopefully this means Team Red's going to share that Xrd tech.

Me personally, I want ultra to be the tournament and ranked standard. This version select can rock in endless and you fan choose to use it in vs.
I wish capcom would had held this and released it a couple months after ultra was out. a nice extra once the initial buzz was gone.

Honestly, if it wasn't, it would kill Ultra Street Fighter IV for me.
I might watch it for the lulz, but I would never take another major seriously again.

Edition select as the main tournament would be alright if SF was a game about characters instead of about matchups. As is I think I'd rather have a well-designed and interesting set of matchups (yes, it's Capcom, I know) instead of just the most broken/powerful version of every character. Mike Ross counterpicking vanilla Sagat against Gamerbee's vanilla Sagat is funny the first time, but I don't think people will be as entertained by that when it happens constantly. The problem isn't that it'll be broken (it definitely will be), but because it's a basically un-designed version of the game.
That said, I think it'll be great for side tournaments. Players already have a certain investment because they're attached to their favorite versions of their characters, and they won't need to necessarily dedicate extra time into practicing for it because they've already put years of practice into whichever version of their character.

Will this mode even be in the arcades? I could see this being console-only, and I really don't think it will become tourney standard.
To me this is two different games.

if its only in the home versions...that about wraps up the argument for it as tourney standard...
however, instead of these bullshit team tourneys we can have some sick side tourneys now

I like USF4's selectable character versions ala Hyper SF2 X. They should also include system direction like 3S had on gen 6 consoles.
Everyone just use the honor system in tourneys
Everyone just use the honor system in tourneys
Sucks, they should include it in endless as an option you can enable and search by and then just have regular ultra only in ranked.

As salty as I still am about my performances this weekend overall I had a lot of fun and was able to meet some cool people!
It's actually pretty plausible, the data is indeed bigger than a DVD. Tons of voice clips can do that.
Yes, and I wish this is the way that it could be. It would breathe even more life into the game than Ultra is doing already and make the game extremely viable for much longer than Ultra on its own would.
There's nothing wrong with having the meta settle in later than sooner. If anything, it would help the scene out tremendously if this was the case as you'd have greater retention of the more casual players and that would possibly translate into more people sticking around in the FGC.
And IMO, unfortunately, the arcade is Ultra-only.
I suspect this has something to do with wanting to get the game on the NESiCA platform ASAP.
Akuma has been banned in anything ST for about 20 years now.
I suspect the same. From the same article:
I find it extremely difficult to believe that he couldn't do something as simple as a Google search to find out when it's being released.

Since PS3 discs have been out for a while, it wouldn't be too hard to check.
I'm guessing it's at best a half-truth; technically true, but they are capable of figuring out a solution and really won't because a 360-ver. isn't worth their time.

I think he probably means from a standpoint of speaking to vendors.
