I don't want this to turn into a debate, but I have to ask.

Are both versions equivalent?

Since the patch is coming, it seems to be the case, but you can install the 360 version to make the load times even faster, and the PS3 controller is faaaaaar better than the 360 controller is if you're using stock pads.
 
I am a bit torn between using the Dual Shock and my ( awful ) MayFlash Arcade Stick. I bought the stick because it was cheap, and I thought about upgrading the stick and the buttons ( to sanwa ), but never got around to ordering the parts.

In that regard, I know that this isn't the official NeoGaf Arcade stick -thread, but do any of you guys have hands-on experience with, say, the regular ( not the TE -version ) MadCatz SFIV stick? How does it perform?

No install option for the PS3? Strange, if so.

Oh well. I only install stuff on the Xbox 360 because the thing sounds like a freaking jet when the disc drive is spinning. Not really the case on the PS3.

Non-issue, I guess.

I haven't heard very good things about the regular SF4 stick, namely that the stick seems to have a tendency to "stick" in one direction. That was from the first run, though, when retailers were still running out of them very quickly, so that may have been fixed.

But anyway, buyer beware; for a stick that sticks is no stick for sticking it to GAF opponents. *nods wisely*

Your first post since Nov. 2007 just to tell us that.

Thanks much and great job!

I lurk in the shadows to give you good news. Yeah, as you can tell I'm not really active on GAF or any boards for that matter. Just too busy getting BlazBlue into the hands of you good people.

And for that we love you >.>
 
Just got it for 360 and it's awesome. Looks great even in SD. I'm even more pissed that my plasma broke last month now. Add me for some matches tonight. GT is Danmagz. I will be playing around 10 pm est.

How is this game? I'm a HUGE guilty gear fan, but I don't have any of the consoles at the moment and haven't seen this in arcade. If this is good, like guilty gear good, I'll likely buy a new console in the near future for it.

You guys wouldn't happen to have a tracklist for the soundtrack now would you?

Have you checked the manual to see if it mentions an installation yet? Sometimes they put them in the strangest places.

KanedaGS from Aksys here... I thought I'd just chime in here to say that a patch is coming for the PS3 which will address the online issues some of you may have experienced, we're just waiting on the requisite approvals. Also, some localization issues were fixed as well as the addtion of double-blind selection in ranked matches. Oh, and for you rage quitters, if you do it enough times you'll get a redflag on your PSN name in the game. You may now go about your business.

Just ordered this game. It's been a long, long time since I bought a fighting game, and a limited edition for that matter... That's how much I am impressed from all the videos, art style, and impressions from gafers in this thread. :D

Noel seems like the beginner character. People spam the shit out of D online. :lol

Bah that's the character I was eyeing. I'll have to break this cycle. Though god I hope she isn't boring, or it's litchi for me.

Our first retail artbook sighting! Very exciting. More pics please! Unwrapping pics, mebbe?

I should be getting my package tomorrow, based on UPS tracking, but I might not be able to play until next week. :-(

How do you get the other characters' astral finishes, anyway? I've only been playing online since I got the game and have no idea. Is it just from clearing arcade mode once?

You have to vary up the combos involving D or predictability will get you owned. I prefer Litchi to her (Litchi IMO is one of the most unique characters out there because of the way her staff works), but there are no real boring characters in this game.

You answered your own question! :D

The most "flowchart" kind of character I've come across have been Jin users.
 
CcrooK said:
Well. We have our "Ken" of BB. And it's a chick!

I never understood the "flowchart Ken/Ryu" term; does it refer to players who stick to the strategy of "spam fireball until player 2 jumps towards, then.. SHOOOORYUKEN"? :lol If so, I love facing those online. I main Chun Li, and those types INVARIABLY continue to fireball even when my Ultra is full, and then they eat my toe-cheese. :p

It's a shame about Noel, since I was looking to her for one my first choices. I want to give Tao a try, too. Well, GAF, let's give it a whirl. One hour and I'll be hooooome

If you're looking for "flowchart/spammy" players, wait until you guys come up against V-13, Arakune, and Rachel players. :lol

KanedaGS, what are Aksys' sales projections for this game? Are they meeting/exceding expectations?

ALOT... I hope. :p I can't tell you exact numbers, but pre-order numbers were very good for us. Though, I'm not sure why end users are concerned with how many did X game sell. One thing I will say is that sell-in is very different from sell-through and we won't know that for another week or two. We're more concerned with the latter... Because you could sell-in a bazillion copies but if they don't sell-through, guess who eats it?

Anyone else notice the IGN logo on the back of the bonus disk case hmmmmm :lol Can't wait to pop this in though.

IGN provided the introduction and Jessica Chobot's VO for the basic mechanics. The actual content was handled by Aksys and some peeps from Dustloop and SRK.
