A brand new thread for you all to complain about Seth and Ken players online!
(Old thread over here.)

Why are all these Streets Fighting and since when was there four of them?
Street Fighter IV(SF4) is the first numerical sequel of Capcom's iconic fighting game since 1997. If for some reason you've never played Fighting games before it's pretty simple. You and your opponent select a character and try to knock out the other using a variety of moves.
Of course I know that! Give me more details!
The design of the game is very similar to Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo and is intended to allow gamers who played SF2 in the arcades or the consoles to jump right back in and use most of the same mechanics and controls with some additions from SF3. Of course theres also plenty of new stuff.
-Focus Attacks replace the parry system from Street Fighter 3. A player can hold down the medium punch and kick button, which allows the player to absorb one attack from the enemy. Once the buttons are released the attack is made with it's power being dependent on how long the buttons were held. Theres plenty of canceling shenanigans you can do with these attacks and are intended to be an important aspect of SF4's gameplay.
-Ultra Combos Super attacks and EX specials make a return along with new Ultra Combos. As your character gets beaten up during the fight their Ultra or Revenge meter builds up. Once it reaches a certain point your character can then use a high damaging over the top cinematic special attack.

-It's pretty! This isn't Street Fighter EX we're talking about. The graphics in this game are possibly the most stylish in any fighting game to date and it looks amazing in motion with impressive animations.

CHARACTERS
Returning Fighters (Arcade Characters)
Ryu: Well...he's Ryu. The most iconic fighting character there is returns and still knows how to throw a Hadouken.
Ken: Ryu's color swap and training partner might share moves with Ryu but he's more likely to send you flying with a flaming Shoryuken.
Chun-Li: She might be a woman but she can still kick your ass with her trademark thunder thighs.
Guile: Possibly the most patriotic man alive, Guile Sonic Booms everyone until they become family men.
E. Honda: A sumo wrestler who can fly like a bullet which makes perfect sense in any sort of context.
Dhalsim: An Indian mystic who shows people enlightenment by punching them with stretchy arms and setting them on fire.
Zangief: The 'Gief' is a muscle bound stereotypical Russian wrestler who Spinning Pile Drives bears and anyone else he can grab on a regular basis.
Blanka: A Brazilian who grew up in the rain forest turning his skin green and making him able to expel electricity. Guess scientists haven't discovered those plants yet.
M. Bison(Dictator): A new Street Fighter may be the most important day of your life, but for him it's Tuesday.
Sagat: The Muay Thai fighter still wants revenges for the scar on his chest and will use any Tiger related powers to do it.
Vega(Claw): He might be a narcissistic pretty boy but his claw and wall jumping shenanigans are quite deadly.
Balrog(Boxer): An American boxer with no connection whatsoever with Mike Tyson who enjoys headbutting people in the face.
New Characters
Crimson Viper: An American spy who uses flame boots and thunder gloves to even the match up.
Abel: A French mixed martial artist with amnesia looking to defeat the remaining members of Shadaloo.
El Fuerte: Street Fighter jumps on the luchador bandwagon with a lucha libre fighter who cooks as a hobby.
Rufus: A big fatty America taking full use of animation physics. He has quite a overconfident view of himself and wishes to defeat Ken to become America's greatest fighter.
Console Exclusive
Akuma: He might be balanced but this demon is just as scary as ever.
Gouken: The trainer of Ryu and Ken and the closest your ever going to get to having Sheng Long.
Cammy: Every 12 year old boy's favorite character who was doing ass shots before they where cool. Is in the game thanks to a online Capcom poll.
Sakura: A high school outfit wearing Ryu fan girl who seems to love ripping off his moves.
Dan: Street Fighter's joke character. He intentionally sucks but everyone loves him.
Fei-Long: He's pretty much a Bruce Lee that can set his legs on fire. Which is just fine with most people.
Rose: An Italian fortune teller who shares Bison's soul or something. She has a pretty scarf which functions as a weapon and a sham-wow.
Gen: The only Street Fighter with multiple fighting styles, Gen is intended for Street Fighter veterans who like beating people up with old Chinese men.
Seth: The boss character of SF4. He uses the moves of other characters and his belly serves as a vacuum for the oddest Ultra Combo there is.
HOW TO UNLOCK CHARACTERS
Not to worry as several controllers have been made especially for the game.
Your options are:
The Fightpad($30USD)
Based off the Sega Saturn controller it features a nice floatly D-Pad and a 6 face button set-up along with turbo options. Great for those who want to be good but don't want to break the bank either.
The Fight Stick($70 PS3,$80 360 USD)
The standard fight stick featuring a eight button layout with start and back on the side. Has turbo options as well as a disabler so you don't accidentally hit the home button during a fight. Is easily customizable and a fine entry stick.
The Tournament Fight Stick($150USD)
This super fancy one is literally all the parts straight from the original arcade cabinet at a hefty 6lbs. It has all the features from the standard plus extras including being able to screw it right to a table. Right now they're pretty much sold out everywhere until a new production is made so best of luck finding one.
All reviews so far have been very positive and they look to be great products. However at this time pretty much all of them are a pain in the butt to find.
Of course there's plenty of other options for sticks such as Hori sticks or customs.
Hows the online?
The online is very good even after the main release! However how good it is may of course vary depending on your connection.
PRO TIP: Playing arcade while accepting online matches is much more effective than searching for other players and you'll get plenty of challengers.

Gouken: Unlock Akuma and beat the game with him. Then beat the game again by winning the matches in the following ways...
1 Perfect
3 Ultra

HOW TO USE CHARGE MOVES
[Can unlock with one-round matches on the lowest difficulty level]
Cammy: Beat Arcade Mode with Crimson Viper.
Fei Long: Beat Arcade Mode with Abel.
Gen: Beat Arcade Mode with Chun Li.
Rose: Beat Arcade Mode with M. Bison (Dictator).
Sakura: Beat Arcade Mode with Ryu.
Dan: Beat Arcade Mode with Sakura.
Akuma: Unlock Cammy, Dan, Fei Long, Gen, Rose and Sakura. Beat the game again — but use a character you've beat the game with before. You cannot continue and must win 1 round by a perfect victory.

Simply hold towards the direction for about 2 seconds and then do the next commands. For example Chun-Li's fireball would have you holding back for 2 seconds and then pushing forward while pressing a punch button. It is best to use Down-Back for charge characters.

Also: Got my Battlepoints over 1000 tonight. Haven't taken any tough losses but now that I'm learning the system it's starting to really come together.
Libthorne: We have to get some games in when our latency matches up haha

I've either gotten REALLY good lately, or everyone else sucks...
I got 10 consecutive wins in Ranked when in HDR I could barely net 3...
Most of those wins came from random too...
I'm thoroughly freaked out now.
Gief'd.
And I'm slowly getting the goddamned loop down. I've gotten 3 max, get 2 about 20% of the time.
also, hey makeshift lobby is party chat and we just switch after every bout or stay a bit longer if it's a particularly good match. we just did that over at 360arcadians and it turned out pretty well
Exceedingly fun.
Also, PSN finally got the Brawler Pack loaded, so the CE code for that works now.
There's a fairly good chance that everyone sucks. A lot of people bought this game compared to HDRemix. I had 9 straight wins just by baiting people to SRK and punishing. A lot of people cant't seem to wake up either, so I could jump in with no fear.
On a lighter note, I've never made so many people rage quit before. It brings a special kind of joy to my heart.
Zangief isn't as bad, but god his throws do so much damage, and take so little to actually pull off.
Also i really hate playing on the right side, I think the left half of my ex2 is going bad. I'm gonna have to start hosting games, so I'm always on the left. -_-
All I did to him was throw him to death. (playing Gen)
And is it me, or is CPU Cammy harder then Seth? She just stuffs anything I can do with Cannon Spikes or her Ultra.

Edit: Also, how necessary is it to get a fightpad or fightstick? Would I be at a big disadvantage with a regular PS3 controller?
I actually had to get two perfects, then three ultras to unlock gouken. Did it 3 times with 1 perfect and 3 ultras, and kept getting akuma.
same
I had like 3 perfects and 2 Ultras I think.
It could have been 3 ultras.
Or 4...
hmmm.
1 Perf and 3 Ultras didn't work for me on my second playthrough with akuma. On the third I had 2 perfects and 3 ultras I believe.(hmm maybe 2 ultras?)
Edit: Yeah, sorry, Ultra Finishers.

edit- ranked is a lot worse today for me than it was yesterday
The (jump + heavy punch -> heavy kick -> super hadouken) has cost me over an hour of my life and i just cannot do it
