Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix

[Talanvor]

Man that's a long name!

Anyway, I just picked this up for the PS3. I don't think anyone on my current friends list has it, so if anyone else wants to throw down I'm game.

Also, if you picked it up for the 360, feel free to show your interest here too.

Just curious...how does the game play with only 4 face buttons? Do you have trouble using the R and L buttons?

I picked it up for the PS3, feel free to toss me a friend request and I'll fight ya whenever. Need to warm up anyways for SF IV.

Not especially, but I do have an arcade stick for the PS3, so there's that. If I was using a pad I'd probably stick the middle attacks on the shoulder buttons, I just don't use them as much.

I do have a gripe about the control config though, for some reason the controls reset every time you start the game up again. So I need to remember to change them each time I begin playing, or else it gets really weird.

Woo! I'll toss you an invite in the morning. And that's exactly my reasons for picking this up, so I'm prepared for SFIV. I assume you're going to pick that up for the PS3 as well?

I grew up playing a ton of SF on the Genesis. I really wish I could find a decent pad for the 360 that had 6 face buttons.

That pad with the six buttons on the face was the shit! But I did get SF2 for the SNES, just because it played a little better. I did have MK for the Genesis though, just wasn't the same without the blood.

And hell I wish I could find a 360 controller with a decent d-pad!

[Mashidar]

Well I know when SF IV hits i'll end up getting it on my 360. For the most part because I have a Hori fighting stick for my 360 and I just got the system back the other day from the repair factory.

But I do enjoy the PS3 pad over the 360 controller 100 times over.

[Talanvor]

D'oh! I have the SCIV Hori stick for the PS3!

[DeathtollWRX]

I typically only use four buttons (jab fierce,medium and roundhouse)

It severly limits my options but I feel as it is a handicap as it makes it a fair fight for anyone battling me :)

I just picked up the SSF2THD on 360, and already have SFIV preordered, so go ahead and give me a shout on Xbox Live. Gamertag is Chibithulhu.

This is cool; you can view your win loss record with each character and other stats through Capcom's StreetFighter.com webpage. This is for 360 gamertags, I don't know if it supports PS3 players.

I'm 76W/86L for all time right now, although part of the reason is my amazingly abysmal 1W/11L record with Dhalsim. Holy crap, I used to be good with him. My weekly is better, at 63W/59L, showing that I'm getting back into my groove (and using Dhalsim less often.)

My mains are Zangief and Sagat, with whom I'm 24W/20L and 9W/5L respectively.

Talanvor: I should get paid soon and you've inspired me to get SSFIITHDR. I'll add you on PSN when I do.

SFII + Genesis = punch, punch, select, kick, kick

I might go 3rd party for my fighting stick. Everybody talks about this Hori stick. I'll look into it.

Damn that is cool. It doesn't look like it supports PS3 gamers, at least for right now anyway.

Edit: D'oh! Forgot to include pronounconnoun's post too.

Awesome! Glad to see more people.

You might want to check the MadCatz stick out too. Supposedly it's a good piece of kit, but it is quite expensive.

I bought it yesterday after too many beers. I want my money back. I don't like anything about it. I think it looks ugly, the characters looks like weak parody's of the original. The music is driving me insane with it's easy listening vibe (battles should fucking rock, not have the feel of a tea party, I know it's made by fans but most of it sucks balls compared to what I heard coming from SFIV). Grrrr. I hate myself for buying this.

[DeathtollWRX]

I have this for 360 and I will accept all challengers.

I tried to check my stats but it said server not responding. I've played over 500 matches.

You can turn the graphics and music to classic mode while still keeping the remixed gameplay. (The backgrounds cannot be toggled though.)

You can do that, as well as play with classic gameplay, which is straight-up SSF2T. I really like the remixed changes though.

I love it to death because it's a solid SF game with great netcode. There's no arcades here anymore, and my friends aren't good enough at SF to be any fun to play.

The server is excessively flaky. I haven't been able to get my updated stats since I originally posted my message in here. I'll make sure to friend you and see if I can hang with your beatdowns.

I just picked it up on PSN tonight, but I've got a ton of other demos dling right now, so I may not get hold of it right away.
Edit: Fuck PSN is slow.

Yeah, I hear you there. I was trying to download the Wipeout HD demo earlier and I gave up after seeing a 1% change in 10 minutes.

[DeathtollWRX]

I wish all the downloads on Xbox360 would show the download rate as well as the percentage completed. This is such a simple thing to do yet they do not do it.

Anyways I'll warm up Street Fighter again so add me if you guys want some friendly competition.
