    I was just going through some of my old posts and came across this:
    (I don't think you'll be seeing Kazuya vs Lili in SF anytime soon, haha).

    I'd be tempted to go to that Italian tournament just so I could thump Ono and steal that damn Blanka toy.

    I'm not quite sold on this game yet, but I gotta admit, SSFIV has absolutely nothing on a huge T-Rex lumbering past in the background.

    Also the hippos actually do certain actions depending on the fight; IIRC they wiggle their ears with every throw.

    Isn't Alex in this game?


    Hyped to see that Vega is included, I'm also crossing every extremity on my body that Hugo and Alex make the cut, assuming that this info is true, the lack of info on our favourite/least favourite the dino-dude makes me wonder....................

    Some of the stuff on there sounds really daft, though the leaks have been shockingly accurate of late. :(

    Some interesting things going on here, such as the special move charge mechanic.

    Indeed, some interesting stuff in that. I definitely recommend y'all reading it.
    For ye lazy ***** who wont, some of the main points:


    Buttons follow SF standard. 3 kicks, 3 punches.
    LK+LP - Throw
    MK+MP - Tag
    HK+HP - Launcher (Not clear what this is. Seems to be a powerful, large ranged uppercut with a large startup.)

    Each character on your team has a health bar which does not regenerate when they're tagged out. If either character runs out of health you lose the round.

    The Super meter is made up of 3 chunks. Moves can be Exed for one chunk, tagging out a character mid combo costs one chunk and Supers cost 2 chunks.
    If you're knocked on the ground you can also use one chunk to tag out before standing up.

    Some moves can now be charged by holding down the button like a focus attack. Ryu's Hadouken can be fired normally, or it can be charged one level to become an EX Hadouken, or it can be fully charged to become a free Super.
    The author of the Play article says it was unfeasable to charge to level 3 in that build. Time will tell and whatnot.

    Finally the main difference of the game seems to be its juggling. Any hit on an airborne opponent puts them into a juggle state for any other attack instead of just knocking them to the ground. An example he gave was with Ryu. Air HP > cr.MP > EX.Joudan Kick (the wall bounce yoke) > cr.MP > Ex.Joudan Kick etc.
    He also said there was some sort of limiter in place as after a few repetitions, the opponent just fell out of his combos.

    Bonus point: Chun's Lightning Legs are now a half circle forward. :pac:

    If either character is KO'd you lose the round?

    So lame, we want crazy one character comebacks.

    It was like that in Tekken Tag as well.

    Even though I've never given a rat's arse about Tekken I like the look of this. Seems to be a tag game that's less manic than MvC.

    Bob puzzles me. He seems to be identical to Rufus. Which came first? Surely I'd have heard of him if Rufus was based on him.

    BlazBlue might also still be around. And yeah, it really is uncanny how the genre has advanced since the pre-SFIV days.

    He debuted in Tekken 6 - eight months before Street Fighter 4 hit the arcades.
    He's also awesome.

    I laughed when Guile was introduced with his air throw. It was like they were saying "Yeah, he's in here and he's still got this."

    I'm really hype for this right now but I can't shake the feeling they might throw it out half finished like they did with MvC3.

    Also hope they touch up the SF models a bit more - the Tekken characters just look way better ATM.

    It's kind of odd how they left out assist ultras from all the videos this time. I wonder were they removed from the game since the last build?
