C'mon do you think it's really that much of a difference? Plenty of good players play SFIV on pad and hit links all day long.. you don't need a top of the range arcade stick for it, though I won't say it won't help your game out.. it definately feels more 'right' to me to play that way.

If you watched alot of the gameplay over the week from Cross Assault, it looks like most bread and butter combos will be 1/2 links into a chain into an EX and so on, which is far less punishing then pulling off for example Cammy combos in SFIV, I think the game will be accessable for casuals as you put it, it really doesn't look anywhere near as execution heavy as SFIV

you can definately buffer moves in this game, for example with Ryu you can do crouching light and hit medium punch like a plink.. if they block all you will get is the crouching light, if it connects you will get the string of crouching punch into medium

As in SF4, you can only cancel linked moves into specials. But in this game you can also cancel chain combos into EX specials, or just chain combo into the launcher, so you don't absolutely need links. They're still very useful, but you can get by without them in lower level play.

thats nice to hear, at least for a noob like me

also i am just talking about 1frame links. i feel like 2 frame links you can get to 80+% success with just practicing enough even without plinking/double tabbing.
... but what is a launcher?

I guess neither of them will come out for pc

It's a pity since I really enjoyed playing Tekken and SF is kinda decent, too

Pretty sure they said awhile back they were bringing SFxT to PC, though I could be mis-remembering.

I'm happy they do at least port there stuff to PC, some of my friends only play SFIV on PC ... so I guess it's a fighting game reaching a little further then normal

Man, this is a horrible finals. =\

I wish the format were a little more fair, Sub vs Josh would be much more interesting.
