AE on PC is amazing. I like the PC version much more than the console versions. The console versions have a stronger play base though (I assume). I imagine the highest level of competition would be on the ps3 version.
quite the contrary:
The competition level I've seen is better on XBL. I played both PSN and XBL. You will find great players on PSN no doubt but I find it difficult to find good players on PSN then XBL (usually more consistent.)
Though this is my opinion. I'm on PSN mostly now (no more xbox :c)

Yes, that is correct. Keep in mind though, the online population on PC isn't particularly high.
Also, you can save a couple of bucks by buying it here: http://www.onlinekeystore.com/Super-Street-Fighter-IV-Arcade-Edition-CD-KEY-Direct-Download.html

Supposedly this month, but I don't think there's been an official announcement yet.

Ordered SSF4AE and pad after watching SSF4AE at evo, looking forward to play my first fighting game since 2002 or something.
|
When I get this game for pc, should I get some gamepad as well?
|
Get stick if you want to play seriously.
|
You dont have to get a stick or a pad when playing this game. I use my normal Keyboard and it works pretty good.
The layout for keys I use are very similar to the layout that a stickless stick uses, Like this :hitbox layout,
Tho if you plan to be competitive you should definatly get a stick.

You don't necessarily have to get one right away. It does limit which characters you can fully utilize, however, since some things are nearly impossible to execute with a keyboard.
With a pad there's barely any limitations and you should be fine in 90% of the cases. Unless you want to play E. Honda, Gen, Chun Li or Blanka on a decent level it will perform nearly as well as a stick.
If you choose to stick to a keyboard for now make sure you remap your buttons so that you input the directions with your left hand and the kicks/punches with your right hand. This will make transitioning off of it easier.

It's like gearing up for SC2; if you're "serious" about it you'll probably put some money into a decent gaming mouse and mousemat. Arcade stick is a similar investment for fighting games. You can get by and play on a high level with a gamepad, but a stick is pretty much the norm for competitive players.

It was pretty funny to see a guy playing at evo with a keyboard though. XD

Ridiculous advice. Tell this to Wolfkrone though, he obviously needs the help.

Some questions:
Xbox 360 or PS3?
What's the cheapest high-quality stick I can get? If I need to make it myself, where can i buy the parts in europe? I wouldn't mind if it was just an ugly box with nothing but black buttons, only needs to function as well as possible

This argument is pretty weak, I could say that Wolfkrone would do even better if he learned to use a stick instead, as in, he does so well -despite- a pad, not -because- of it

Pad or stick are both fine and perfectly usable. It is down to personal preference. At the end of the day, if you are more practiced with a pad you will do better than with a stick and vice versa

Well personally when I played GGXX alot my thumb would become really hot / sore / skin coming off after just an hour or two of gameplay. Maybe SF4 has a slower tempo but it's still just not comfortable at all for me

Anyone arguing that you need a stick to do well doesn't know what they're talking about. For SF4 I can count on one hand the combos or inputs which would be borderline impossible to execute on a pad.
In the end it comes down to personal preference.

Not even an issue of which is better, he said "Get a stick if you want to play seriously", but it is obvious that you do not require a stick to play at even the highest level, let alone random XBL matches. I think using a stick for someone who didn't grow up in arcades is just going to make the learning curve steeper, not easier.

The obvious solution is to try out both and see, there's very little reason to think starting on sticks would make things any harder. Who knows, he might be a natural arcade warrior!

I found the only things that are very hard to do on keyboard are 360s, 720s and Guile's Ultra move. Mind you, I find them difficult enough to do consistently on a joystick (im a noob), but on the keyboard it's nigh impossible since you have to do down and up with the same finger. Maybe you can remap the keys to simulate the Hit Box controller to make it easier though.

Krone hasn't used a pad for like a year though. Not that the stick made him any better or worse, but even he decided to switch eventually :>

It has nothing to do with YOUR preference. If you want to be serious about fighting games you need a stick, and there is zero debate. The reason is because all tournaments use sticks and many tournaments will not accommodate your pad. Using a pad also prevents you from playing your best in arcades, which will usually offer better competition.
It's also a matter of future proofing your time investment. Are you willing to spend thousands of hours practicing on a pad only to have a new game or console come out and wipe out your skills? Fighting sticks are unlikely to change anytime soon (they haven't for decades)
