For the people with nothing better to do with their Saturday night (me), Give some support to Montreal Annual Tournament 8 being streamed here: http://www.justin.tv/eschamptv#/w/1292599840

Only 844 viewers at the minute. Currently doing SSF4 groups, followed by MvC3 in about 3 hours, followed by MK9 later on.

The bastards have broken the online! I was just starting to play well too.

Dreddybajs · 06-06-2011 10:39am

SSF4 just updated on 360, now on the main menu it says the Update Kit and AE are available from the Marketplace, but they're not. :pac:

If AE now gets delayed by at least 6-7 months the feeling will be spot on. :pac:

Placebo · 06-06-2011 12:12pm

how many points do i need?
will we see this after midnight ? 8 hours before USA, in their face.

Orim · 06-06-2011 12:15pm

1200 afaik

I don't think we'll get it at midnight. They generally update marketplace during the day. Between about 10 and 2ish

Ken B · 06-06-2011 12:20pm

Oh my god, Oh my god.......this is the most excited I've been since cubs.

Placebo · 06-06-2011 12:25pm

whens E3? im more excited about 3S:OE news

Yreval · 06-06-2011 1:13pm

Marketplace updates generally take place around 1am US West Coast time, so about 9am here.

J0hnick · 06-06-2011 1:22pm

Bad news for anyone wanting to get some last minute practice in tonight on X-Box Live

http://www.eventhubs.com/news/2011/jun/06/super-street-fighter-4-update-temporarily-breaks-online-play/

Seems the update went out too quick, cant play online till AE goes live.

Placebo · 06-06-2011 1:35pm

they should compensate us by releasing it early.
In fairness from a business perspective, thats a bobo at their end

Cant play online without the update either so your screwed either way, hope this means a midnight release though :-)

ayjayirl · 06-06-2011 1:55pm

someone pm them, let them know

Azza · 06-06-2011 1:58pm

I doubt they can roll this back even if they wanted to. Make sense just to release it early. Or even just the second title update if that gives back online play.

Monkeyto · 06-06-2011 2:43pm

stev0knev022 · 06-06-2011 2:52pm

You bitches got baited.

Placebo · 06-06-2011 3:03pm

apparently ppl who got baited now get the DLC for free

this is not true

Where in the wide world of sports did my Juri points go!?

Is AE up now?

Neeknak · 06-06-2011 4:57pm

I don't think so. I have about 1000 each for 8 - 10 characters, 4800 with Juri and 8150 with Rose. Juri now shows up as Rank D instead of B and I have 66 points after winning one match. I daren't pick Rose in case she gets reset too.

The text used to display in game BP is definitely different now. And on replay channel it has a silver SSF4 logo beside each replay in my battle log.

I want my points back dammit!

Sairus · 06-06-2011 5:01pm

They announced a while back that all the points were being reset, so I'm afraid you're out of luck unless you want to abandon using Rose.

J0hnick · 06-06-2011 5:05pm

My save died on me a while ago and I lost almost everything, all the costumes I unlocked, all the stuff I did in Trials ... the lot :mad:.

My first fight online said I had 0bp when I had around 2100 previously, 1 ranked match later and my points went back to normal so they must have been stored on Capcoms end, guess you'll just have to wait until AE goes live tommorow and play one last game of regular SSF4 to get your points back

.

Neeknak · 06-06-2011 5:06pm

Not dropping her but to the best of my understanding, when you select AE everyone is back to 0 points but if you select super, all your old points stayed the way they were.

When was this ?, afaik they you'll have two sets of points, your SSF4 points wont transfer over to AE but they'll still be there in regular SSF4.

Or am I wrong ?

Yep that should be right your points should stay the same on SSF4 but you should start on zero on AE.As someone said hopefully it's only a server issue.

Sairus · 06-06-2011 8:34pm

Ah right, that does sound like it makes some kind of sense.

liamnojo92 · 07-06-2011 9:11am

Anyone know what time It's out I thought 9am .

Generic_name01 · 07-06-2011 10:46am

Its up now. Cant get it on marketplace but if you go into the game and access marketplace from there, its up.

Great! What size is the file?

Generic_name01 · 07-06-2011 11:02am

672 MB. Thought it would be bigger all things considering. Ugh its taking so long to download... Cant wait to see how fast oiling up is.

FutureGuy · 07-06-2011 11:17am

Anyone considering changing main for AE? I'm sticking with DeeJay (alll the "buffs" and still C tier!) but will probably work with one of the twins to see what the fuss is about.

liamnojo92 · 07-06-2011 11:25am

Around 700mb
Edit:boards didn't skip the last page

I think I'll try yang rather than yun just because he looks cooler lol

Placebo · 07-06-2011 11:32am

liamnojo92 · 07-06-2011 12:15pm

Oh boy Yang is so ****ing good and a lot of his combos are easier than fei's.

chopperbyrne · 07-06-2011 12:45pm

Brought my console to work and downloaded the AE update.

Playing on Pal 50 composite using a pad is not how this game should be played.

Im stickin with Guy, hes gone from being the joint 4th worst character in the game (tied with Gen) to C tier. Hes also traded having 7:3 matchups against him with Balrog, Honda and Rose to getting raped by AE Fei and being one of the worst characters you can use to fight against the twins.

So whilst I wont be switching mains, Ill probably have to pickup a secondary character who matches up well against the Twins and Fei, I was messin with Sagat but he matchs up bad enough against Fei in regular SSF4 as it is, so might give Yang a try (I liked him in 3S)

mackg · 07-06-2011 1:31pm

If you want a character for the twins and Fei why not give Zangief a go.

I'm sticking with Fei, virtually unchanged and everyone else got nerfed. HK chickenwing invincibility will be missed. Interested to see how much easier its going to be to go through fireballs with ex-rekkas.

I feel obligated to stick with hakan since they gave him everything I asked for bar the overhead. Game feels weird to me at the mo. Gonna have to get used to actually being able to be oiled for the entire fight. Was messing with gief too and hitting someone with EX B.Flat and to have them still standing hurts my brain.

Prob gonna mess with yang and oni. Both characters just look really fun to play as.

Placebo · 07-06-2011 1:39pm

anyone that has not played 3S or is not a fan of 3S
cant actually pick the twins.

its the rule of thumb
technically you shouldnt even be doing ex moves but we will let you away with that

Sagat06 · 07-06-2011 2:22pm

had about 15 minutes in the training room there... oni feels like a mix up players dream, tier lists be damned! Now what you can figure out in 15 minutes playing with 4 chars couldnt be written on the back of a fag packet!

Ramza · 07-06-2011 4:37pm

I only had about an hour with the game, since I had to leave. Loving Yun, although he's a bit clunky at the moment.

Neeknak · 07-06-2011 5:09pm

Ranked has turned into Twin Fighter IV: AE. Haven't lost to one with Rose yet though so it's good practice for when I meet a decent one.

Enjoying Juri's changes a lot. Her new walk speed along with combo fireball store>release are sweet.

Of the new 4 I think I'll be adding Evil Ryu to my rotation. Rose - Juri - E. Ryu.

Azure_sky · 07-06-2011 8:04pm

Is it just me but does the vs screen for AE take far longer to load than it's SSFIV counter part?

Misty Chaos · 07-06-2011 11:28pm

Well seeing that I'm about to clock off for bed ( I'm exhausted, with less than 2 hours sleep in the 24 hours. ) I might as well as give my first impressions of AE.

I quite like what they've done. Maybe I was playing crap players in ranked today but my Juri seems to be able to cope just fine against Yun so I don't really see him as that threatening. Brain dead, yeah but not THAT threatening.

Oni is way too much fun to play as, another Secondary to add to my list along with Bison, Ken and Dan. He was definitely better than I was expecting. Also, Hulk Oni ftw!

Its kind of funny, just starting to play ranked today and I come across a Makoto, laugh it off for a second than realise ' Ah crap, she's gotten buffed big time in AE! ' Small things like that I'll need to get used to.

The new themes are nice as well.

Despite the obvious trumpet blowing over balance issues, I like this, its not as snow or as annoying as Super but what IS annoying here probably turn out to be fun in the long run. We'll see.

Placebo · 08-06-2011 12:08am

The day you'll play a good yun. You will cry in the corner of your bath tub and then u'll donate your xbox to charity.

This sums up quite well what I think about AE so far. It's not as "dry" as SSF4, and that's more important than the balance from my point of view.

albel nox · 08-06-2011 1:41am

I am pretty disappointed overall by AE its a shame that 2 of the four new guys are just evil and more evil versions of current characters. Alot of the new balancing things are good some are bad as is the way with fighting games.
Capcom have made some mistake as they have in the past and will continue in the future but fighting games are hard to balance in there very nature ( i personally feel that there has been few)

I personally think balance is more important but i understand that a game has to be fun, i just think that you shudn't be punished because you are not playing with a certain character.
