Im sorry that your reading comprehension isnt sufficient to correctly parse either your original post or my reply to it. You complained that the controls are really bad and expanded on that by conflating the controls with the 360 joypad. The controls are a factor of the game the controller an issue with microsoft. So yes it clearly is Microsoft's fault that their controller is crap, but in your original post you blamed (perhaps unintentionally) Capcom for it. If you dont want to be mis-understood perhaps you should be clearer in your attempts to communicate.
This comments shows a shocking level of ignorance surrounding the mechanics of mainstream 3d-fighters on both a casual and tournament level.
Cammy was included because a poll was held on which characters people want included and she received more votes than every other character combined. I imagine Fei Long also scored highly. Though I'd certainly like to see additional characters included as DLC. |

No offense, but you can throw all the "mechanics" and "depth" around that you want...something is seriously broken when some n00b can completely whoop a self-proclaimed "master" who's spent hours in practice mode perfecting his game by banging on the buttons at complete random. Street Fighter, thankfully, never degenerated to that.

You had to have seen that coming. Standard DVD's don't support HD. |

Only 5 new characters in SF4? I kinda thought Gouken was considered a new playable character...

Kind of reminds me of EGM's April Fool's where they said you could fight Sheng Long in Turbo, if I remember correctly. I can't help but feel Gouken's official design was partially inspired by the character seen in those (very convincingly) doctored shots. Still the BEST April Fool's prank they ever did, and it was one of the most controversial. Yeah, part of me does feel that the "asleep" thing was a cop-out, especially since, according to what canon there is for the characters, the Shun Goku Satsu IS fatal if used to its fullest extent, since it involves putting maximum pressure on all the pressure points or some such. I mean according to the official line apparently Akuma killed Bison's then-current body in Super Turbo...whatever, I don't make up the convoluted stories for these games. |

I'm already playing one "four", Persona 4, and will hopefully pick up a second "four" within the next week, Star Ocean 4, but I doubt I'll even bother renting Street Fighter IV as I don't have a proper arcade stick for my XBox 360 and I just honestly could never get the hang of playing fighting games with those teensy little analogue thumbsticks.
I've seen that someone's invented a converter to play the XBox 360 controller on the PS3; I wish someone could do likewise for playing XBox 360 fighting games with the SNES Advantage; now that was a damn fine stick, with the base being almost as big as the Super Nintendo itself and so heavy you had to rest it on your lap if you're a "floor player" like me, and it's still the only stick that makes me feel "at home" with fighters. |

Would it be so wrong to want Q to return? Freaky vaguely Kikaider-looking robotic dude of mysterious origin who walks kinda like a Frankenstein and wears a fedora and trenchcoat FTW.
EDIT: Does anyone else get a kick out of the look on a fighter's face when the other fighter is about to use a Super move on them? It's like, "Oh damn, I'm getting raped, aren't I?" |

So your argument is someone can say they're a "master" and then they loose to a button-masher? Well thats a well reasoned argument. I mean everything someone claims to be true must be true... |

I was thinking this myself. Technically he has been a character within the Street Fighter universe for quite some time now, but nobody had ever seen him or any kind of representation within any of the games up to this point. But, maybe the author could have worded it differently then. Instead of new characters, how about new fighters? That way Gouken can be included as well. But, I have no doubts in my mind that they will come out with SF4.219867405 soon

. And yes, it would be M$'s fault for constructing a bad joy pad. Why in the hell wouldn't it be? If it's poor to begin with, who else is to blame but the manufacturer and those who worked on the original concept design? Sure, they learned from the mistake of the first xbox's behemoth controller, but aside from how well the joysticks work, the controller still falls short in almost every other department, especially with its flimsy dpad.
