Mr. Rob, Capcom shipped 2 million, not sold, as far as I'm aware.

Exactly it may have only sold half of that - btw if anyone is thinking of buying the collector's edition, don't its a load of rubbish - as an avid SF fan feel like I've been duped into buying junk they couldn't shift outside of it, the feature is cheap, almost flash animation with very little movement.

Why does everyone only use Ryu or Ken?
Is there balance issues with the character roster?

I think its more efficient to learn how to play as Ken and Ryu since you have so many similar Shoto characters. That's my reason anyway, I've always used Ken since I was a wee lad, which is another reason. Too set in my ways now to learn how to use all these charge type characters...

While I agree it is a shame that more of the character roster isn't utilised much at the moment, you can hardly blame people for learning the ropes with the Shoto characters. The moves are easier to do and the tactics needed to be half way competent are easy to pick up, especially when you compare them to the charge characters, who to a new starter, are phenomenally difficult to use effectively.

I haven't got SF4 yet, it has been despatched. However, based on my experience with SF2 HDR I will always be at the level of what is widely considered to other gamers as "new starter" with these games.
I'm just as incompetent now as I've ever been, had SF games on megadrive and saturn too...

I'm hoping the training this game gives will give me enough ability to do things like, I don't know, block attacks without getting hit straight afterwards with another attack. And one day I'm hoping to get the Akuma acheivement on easy for SF2HDR, the standard I am now I can't even get to fight him.

It's taking the piss how many times I have to fight Ken online. At least I took the high ground from the start and learnt how to use Cammy and Crimson Viper before I went online so I could mix it up a bit.

Shop around for the best prices here because I'm sure they were supposed to release it at £29.99 and then it got jacked up to £34.99.

Gamestation sell it for £29.99 online with free delivery.

I got mine at HMV paid £34.99 but got a nice embossed slip case/box with it.

How tough is Seth? It's very difficult on medium difficulty but just about possible with some crafty strategy. But I would wop the level down to easiest to unlock the characters - stops the big headache against Seth.

At least in this version you can see what the opponent is using before you fight.

In SS2HDR you can only hear the selection - but you can tell if they use Ken or Ryu how many times they go down.

I like kicking the butt of Ken and Ryu players with my fave Vega. It's nice to learn what the newer characters can do.

One more important thing:

You must know how to use the Ultra/Revenge move and assign a 3xpunch & 3xkick to R1 & R2 shoulder buttons. It's essential when your playing online!!!!

Plus the EX moves are great to mix things up a bit!

Yeah Akuma comes under the same label as Ryu and Ken.

And whilst I beat most, if I lose to one more underplayed Kentard online I'll cry a little.

I'm so terribly crap at this game its depressing :/

Getting repeatedly ganked by Seth on ez-mode on Ryu, Viper, Blanka etc = epic fail

Spamming Sagat's tiger uppercut to flid my way thru = even more epic fail

I Ken understand the need to play with shoto characters since they're easy to use and all. Guile just stick to my charge characters though, thank Ryu very much.
Good Zangief, I'm fed up with noobs online! Dhalsim you that letter tomorrow, if I'm Abel. It's very good, Seth for the part about the car. I Honda hand it to you though, you did a good job.
El Fuerte you had the keys with you? Vega-way, you can let me Balrog it later. Hello? Are you there? Don't Blanka me!

I have been playing this game pretty solidly since release, there are a fair amount of ryu / ken players, but plenty of people are using the other characters too. I am now seeing loads of people using Gouken and Seth since they unlocked them, what they have to remember though is that these characters are not instant win, they are all banlanced and every character can be lethal in the right hands. My particular favourite at the moment is Rose, who just plucks jumping adversaries out of the air and throws them back down.

Amazing game, I have a few mates that arent getting it, and now I'm questioning why I hang out with these morons.

For some reason new fighters always tempt me. I almost never buy one but when I do (Tekken 3, GG X, Soul Calibur 2, Tekken 5 from PSN) I never play them. I just don't have the patience to learn ridiculously convoluted control schemes.

I get bored from most other stuff very quickly as well but fighters really are in a class of their own.
