It's fun though - at least that's what counts.

ProA0075140d ago

doubt it'll be much fun getting frustrated at the 360's dpad

AridSpider5140d ago

Yeah but after the beautiful art style that is Street Fighter IV, anything less is just...meh. Of course, that's just my opinion

dangert125140d ago

with the 360 dpad and beat em ups?
i love virtua fighter and don't have any problems :S

Krimmson5137d ago

Seeing that you called fighting games Beat 'em Ups, I'm going to assume that you're possibly from the UK.
Now I obviously could be wrong about where you live, but if you are from the UK then there's a chance you might have the updated European 360 controller, which is almost identical. to the US 360 controller. Almost.

The one difference is that the d-pad for Europe has been updated to respond a lot better in terms of diagonals and better input.

Now of coarse there's the highly likely chance that you don't have one and just feel comfortable with the 360 controller and resulting in me looking like a jackass.

Online is a ghost town currently though

JasonXE5140d ago

Well it isn't out yet. So all you got to go against are people oversees.

ProA0075140d ago

wish this was coming out on PS3 - can't wait fighting games with that awful dpad the 360 controller uses.

JasonXE5140d ago

that street fighter stick by Madcatz isn't bad at all. I'd suggest getting one of those if you game on the 360

boodybandit5140d ago

I have a Madcatz TE stick for both consoles and never had a problem with them. Even if I run into one all the parts are replaceable.
You can get replacement parts from http://www.lizardlickamusem...

put your money wjere your mouth is ...i get sick of hearing people complaining about there d pads on line when i kick there whiney *sses!
the ps3 pad aint no better.I have an akuma sf4 pad and a hori HRAP witch ive had customized with some m.bison art work. Ive also changed the buttons and stick to superior equivalent parts.Its really east to do...

http://forums.shoryuken.com...

even the art work part is easy to do you just need to do some basic diy

http://www.shoryuken.com/sh...

this goes for those of you that own ps3s aswell, rember my hrap is for my ps3 though i will be getting one for my 360 as i can swap out parts to make it make it respond better than my TE

oh for parts:

http://www.gremlinsolutions...

stick with sanwa and seimitsu parts as the parts are generally just plug and play.

im gonna make another one for my 360 as my hrap actually feels more precise than my TE...im thinking of using transformers as the inspiration...hmmm..im gonna share this with you guys ....tell me what you think. decepticon theme with black a purple ball on the stick ,grey buttons with purple ringlets around them on the top row of buttons . purple buttons with black ringlets around them for the bottom row. the art work woul have a white background with a decepticon logo and megatron posing..bad*ss! i better to get to work on it..

sorry for the long post folks. fighting games always get me talking.i just love the competetive nature of them coupled with depth and the steep learning curves. They punish the undiciplined and reward those who persivere with awsome reflexes and speed of thought.throw a punch at me on virtua fighter and ill have a counter or parry waiting for you, not a passive block!

I hope my post was useful for any of you guys thats interested in modding joysticks or just want use something better than the 360 pad . i dont think i would have beaten megaman 9 with out my TE. the 360 pads awful as ya`ll know.

jetlian5140d ago

been dude!!! fatal fury mark of the wolves has been on live since last summer with kof 98 um!!!! kof 2002 um is coming this year

Five Fighting Game Series That Hopefully Never Get Sequels

GPT: "Ever since I first played games like Street Fighter II and Mortal Kombat 3 back on the SNES I've considered fighters my favorite genre. Playing just about everything from Bloody Road to Primal Rage I definitely could tell the difference between what made good and bad fighting games. Luckily in today's gaming market developers can't cash in on the popularity of blockbuster games and be lazy; only the seasoned veterans truly remain amidst this genre. Today I'm taking a look back at some of the worst fighting game series to ever exist."

Caly Fighter was the best they need a sequel for that

charlescox44725d ago

I'd actually like to see a sequel to Clay Fighter.

BeaRye4725d ago

How can you hate on Clay Fighter? I'd take that over DoA or KI.

SquareEnixFan4725d ago

I would play a new Clay Fighter or Street Fighter EX game.

vgchica4725d ago

Rumble Roses gets a bad rep because of the character design. The fighting is actually good.

VG_Releaser4725d ago

I'm a fan of Cammy myself. Wouldn't mind her making a cameo in RR!

topgun334725d ago

I loved Rumble Roses although I wish they could have had a code to unlock all the characters or go the super street fighter route and have everyone available when you load the disc

jacksonmichael4725d ago

I thought it was weird for Super Street Fighter to do that. It almost felt like there wasn't a reason to play...

Neko_Mega4725d ago

Fighter Maker would be better if they put alot of work into it, I think if we see it using all over the power of PS3.

Well I think it would be alot better then the last two, the 2nd one wasn't to bad but outfits and characters for you to fight were really limited.

Hmm...but not on the Wii?

Thumbs down!

jbiz3204771d ago

THIS is a game that deserves a proper remake a la Mortal Kombat.
