I'm was thinking of attempting to make this game my new competitive game, but holy balls. The fight sticks cost like 80 bucks.

$150 -- That's what it will cost you to buy the officially licensed, Mad Catz-produced, S-kill and MarkMan-designed, Sanwa-inclusive, Capcom-approved "Street Fighter IV FightStick Tournament Edition" controller you see immediately above, on February 20th, 2009.
The gamepads are around $60-70 I believe.

Yep, the last boss of SF IV is named after Seth Killian himself.
I heard Capcom producer Ono-san said that Seth was originally to be named Cain as in Cain and Abel, but that name was already taken by another last boss. They decided on changing it to Seth due to his relationship with Abel and to keep the name thing going.


" in the Book of Genesis of the Hebrew Bible, is the third listed son of Adam and Eve and brother of Cain and Abel and is the only other son mentioned by name. According to Genesis 4:25, Seth was born after the slaying of Abel by Cain, and Eve believed God had appointed him as "replacement" for Abel "because Cain killed him." "

That could be true.
If what you say is the real reason why he's named Seth, then Seth Killian lied.:mad:
Doesn't matter though in the end.

Oh, and only 3 or 4 more days until my TE stick comes in.
FYI, if anyone's interested in the pads, they're actually 40 dollars.

You know they make this thing that's kind of like a PS3, but it's cheaper, and has more good games on it.
I think it's called a 360?

My PS3 is a Blu-ray player atm.

It seems I was mistaken about the pricing on the accessories from Mad Catz. The standard fight sticks are $70-80. >_>

I get to pick up my TE stick on Wednesday and SF IV next week. So psyched.

I went to my local Gamestop today to check up on some things. I also signed up for their tourney today. I was the first one to sign up since the sign up sheet was barely out today. I don't think there are that many SF fans in my area so I might just walk out with a free headband. If I do get to play someone, I better not lose because of that crappy 360 pad. I'd rather lose to someone better than me.

I signed up for the tourny to. If everything goes well, I can win me the new game pad, if not I'll buy it afterwards. There were quite alot of sign ups when I went in today, but it's always like that down here then half the people show on game day.

Alot of eastern Street Fighter fans eh. Hope to see you guys online after the launch of the game. I still can't seem to stand still knowing it's so close to release already.

All of Florida apperantly. I think it's cool how they are holding it after the release of the game, unlike the midnight launch tourny for Brawl with the Nunchuk remote only rule in play. I really want to either practice as Abel or El Fuerte for the tourny.

I should be picking up my TE FightStick tomorrow. It better not be damaged or screwed up.

As for the GS tourney, I'm not sure who I'll actually use.
I'll probably just pick Bison (Dictator). Charge characters are still easy with the 360 controller. Not to mention, a lot of people won't be able to anti-air me so easily with that crappy d-pad. I suppose they could still use down fierce...

I'm super puzzled at C. Viper being that high seriously, she's a super gimmicky character in this game, and alot of her stuff can get randomly snuffed out. Even Kunai who has one of the best C. Vipers in the world says she's super gimmicky and has to really work for her openings and damage.

Honestly, I don't believe C. Viper is that high, played to her potential, Mid, but Top-Tier? Right under Sagat at that? I don't believe it until I see more consistency with her.

The game leaked yesterday (XBOX 360) and I just have to say that it's pretty awesome.

That is all.

My boy Gief is S+, too good!

I'm surprised Claw and Sim are so low.

Yeah, I remember reading the new tier list from that magazine on SRK.
Viper deserved a boost, but not that high!

I wouldn't be surprised to see her drop a little again.
