Yeah, online will be heaving with Oni Akumas.

I'm not sure whether I'll get that DLC, it depends on how much it costs. The new replay features sound interesting, and it will definitely be a lot easier to pick up tips from pro players in the Elite Channel.

What kinds of nerfs are we talking about for Cammy, Derock?

The same when it came out in the arcades: no instant-air regular Cannon Strikes for new mix-up strategies; Cannon Spike and Spiral Arrow damages are dropped again; and I do recall some of her normal attacks will give her advantages.

Eventhubs.com have a whole list of the buffs and nerfs for all the characters.

EDIT:

Look what I came across: a preview look of the beta arcade version of Street Fighter IV. Notice the differences from the beta and the final includes the portraits of Ryu and Ken and C. Viper's boobs are bigger.

Arcade Edition DLC will be release for PS3 and 360 on June 7th and will be priced at $14.99.

Also, PC version is indeed announced.

Also, for those who doesn't have Super on the consoles and will like to buy the Super IV Arcade Edition, Capcom will release a retail disc which cost $40 at Amazon.

Hmm, sounds like they're rebalancing Cammy. I'm not worried about the no instant-air regular Strikes as I rarely use them, and it's good that the EX instant-airs are still in. If they had also been taken out, that would have broken one of the combo exercises in Cammy's Challenge Mode! Better normal attacks sound good, hopefully they'll expand her options in combat.

1200 points, huh? A little dearer than I would have liked, but it's still reasonable. I've pencilled the date down on my calendar!

Thanks for the info, Derock.

Is anyone up for a session of SSF4 on Xbox Live this weekend?

I'm up for it.

[Smiter]

I'm up for it.

OK! When's a good time? I should be free for Saturday or Sunday night, which would be afternoon/evening for you.

[Smiter]

I'm online right now, if anyone wants to notch up some easy wins.

EDIT: I'm off for the night now, but will be back tomorrow night, probably from 7-8pm BST.

Thanks for the fights, Derock.

Major UPDATE:

Arcade Edition DLCs are out today!!! Grab them people and play!! The retail version, along with the PC version, will come out very soon!

[Smiter]

Got mine.

I have to say I really like how Yun plays, he has a lot of mix-up options. The replay channels are slightly improved, but I wish there was an option to search for replays featuring certain characters. It would be nice to quickly find Cammy/Yun replays instead of having to sit through a channel or browse the list of the most recent replays.

Still, there's always Youtube!

UPDATE:

We're going to have a Major Balance Patch called Arcade Edition 2012, release for free around the fall/winter season. Looks like we're definitely get to see the twins' power dying down.

I don't know... Soon, my friends from a neighboring college will be hosting a tournament in the next 2 weeks. Super IV, Marvel, Naruto, Tekken and Brawl are the games we're going to play. Maybe I'll try to get online around Friday evening.

no rush, derock. I was hoping around christmas time anyway XD

[Smiter]

I'll probably end up getting my own butt whooped. XD; I haven't played SSF4 for months due to other games.

If we can catch each other during a weekend, we can have some games.

[Derock]

I'm not sure about this Saturday (and this weekend is birthday weekend)... now I found out my school is doing a tournament on Saturday! Yeah, not sure how far I will fare this time. But we'll see...

[JoHamSandwich]

I'm busy the next two weekends.

So yeah, Christmas Eve is probably the next open time we can play

[Smiter]

Sounds good. I should be free on Christmas Eve, hopefully I can get some training in before then.
