The urge i have to play some SF is killing me but i have to wait to get a ps3 and sell my 360.
-
No further changes to gouken, I'll probably still play the old man as this will likely be the best version of him yet. Tier list should be condensed a great deal, but I'm interested in other characters as wel. I already play gouken and dudley, will probably mess around with fei, yun, akuma. I like being able to bulldog my opponent, I like walking forward and pressing buttons. Gouken can't do that, and dudley has t-rex arms.The urge i have to play some SF is killing me but i have to wait to get a ps3 and sell my 360.
Why not just play it on 360? -

Have a stack of PS2 games i still have love for DQ 8, FFX,Persona FES 3, FF12,San Andreas etc. Plus there's no 360 exclusives that draw me in like PS does should have stuck with my roots and went and got the 60gb PS3 when it came out..
Hopefully now i can get one within the 160-200$ price range and sell my 360 and its games. -

Hidden buffs and nerfs in SSF4 AE v2012? Kim1234 says yes
Hidden buffs and nerfs in SSF4 AE v2012? Kim1234 says yes There may be unreported buffs and nerfs in version 2012 of Super Street Fighter 4 Arcade Edition, according to eLive Pro's Kim1234. A well respect player in the community, he recently tweeted these thoughts after playing the latest release of the game.

Updated: Seth confirms undocumented changes to SSF4 AE v2012
Posted by Catalyst on Dec. 3, 2011 at 3:14 p.m.
Updated: Seth confirms undocumented changes to SSF4 AE v2012 Updated: Seth Killian confirmed on Twitter that there indeed are undocumented changes to v2012 of Super Street Fighter 4 Arcade Edition. He also discussed the matter with other community members. Here's a run down.
Hit the jump for more details.
Seth Killian: Yes, there are still things to discover and learn in AE 2012, a brand new game. Happy to hear to why some feel that's a bad thing.
Frame & move properties = rules in strategy game. Strategic play needs knowledge of rules but gotta waste time finding them first. — UltraDavid
Seth Killian: Changelogs are a new direction and more info = better but my question was not rhetorical -- I did want to hear people's thoughts.
Probably too big for Twitter but also I think reasonable people can disagree about the role of discovery vs. creator tells all.
I know some people love not knowing, but those can just not look at the log. To the rest of us digging through everything is just an unnecessary waste of time that could be used developing new tech / honing your skills. — ProxyDamage
Seth Killian: What if a closer understanding of the system that you figured out yourself is part of the skill? Historically it has been.
For what it's worth, I am genuinely curious to hear people's thoughts on this. It's close to my heart and I've been a big advocate of more transparency.
Discovery is nice but we are now in the 4th iteration of the game, we want real change logs now. — Mike3640
Seth Killian: This seems like a stronger point to me than general claim that all info must be given vs. learned.
Great topic, lots of good points on all sides. For the record, Capcom's position is not necessarily my own, nor vice versa. Thanks to all for thoughts.

Uryo's thoughts on Super Street Fighter 4 Arcade Edition v2012
Uryo's thoughts on Super Street Fighter 4 Arcade Edition v2012 Uryo posted on his blog about Super Street Fighter 4 Arcade Edition v2012 talking about the information from the change lists and his thoughts on it.
There are not many changes since the announcement of the first change list from a few months ago. At first glance, Akuma, Abel and Seth seem strongest in this version.
On tournaments he adds:
All characters have a bad match up. This will make the team tournament much more interesting. On the other side solo tournaments will be less interesting.
Ryu has been improved which is good. Beginners will naturally turn to it (as iconic character in the series), it is normal that it is not too low. But the character is hard to play, not everyone will master the distance to throw fireballs like Momochi and Daigo have.
The character has a class act when I see the hands of Daigo Umehara or to Momochi . Strangely when I'm playing it, it looks like nothing at all!
I would like to test Yun and Yang, they may please me with all the changes they have undergone. -
Super Street Fighter 4 Arcade Edition 2012 launches tomorrow
As a general reminder to everyone reading the front page today, the patch for version 2012 of SSF4 AE drops tomorrow on PSN and Xbox Live. The PC version of the patch is not coming out the same day but will come out later.
To recap, you can read the official change notes which were transcribed here on EventHubs. These notes include all of the changes, including the fixes that were made in the Alpha and Beta lists along with their subsequent revisions.
It was also confirmed that there are several undocumented changes in 2012, so it's recommended that you do a quick rundown of your main character(s) to ensure that nothing has been changed bizarrely without your notice.
Arcade Edition DLC was put up on the networks in early morning EST last time, but it's unknown if version 2012 will be uploaded at the same time. Feel free to leave your feedback about changes now or about how Capcom is going about delivering this update. -
