Just received SSF4 yesterday. Haven’t had much time with it yet, but here are a few random thoughts.

Overall the game is awesome. The graphics, engine, and characters are awesome.
The graphics are great, but when will we have mouths that sync up with voices?
It’s funny, even though I only recently converted to a stick and, in some ways, I’m still better on the pad, I find pads to be borderline unusable. I will probably buy a TE stick in the very near future.
I’ve really been spending a lot of money lately.
This has gotta help Mad Catz’s stock… right?
MS are a bunch of assholes. I’d love to hop online right now, but since it’s a monthly fee, I think I’ll wait like a month for some training before I take the plunge. Annoying. Also, encrypted controller ports: VERY annoying!
I never really played SF3, but I can see why everyone loves Dudley (as a character)
I am like 2 years behind in this game. I basically never played SF4 so everything is new to me. It’s a bit intimidating in a way. No matter how much I play, I’ll always have 2 years less experience than most serious players. BUT. Let’s be honest, it’s not like I was gonna turn pro. I’m sure there’s a good handful of noobs that I could already easily beat and I will just keep moving forward.
Excessive TvC playing has left my hand a bit sore. It’s from resting my hand on the buttons at a little bit of an awkward angle. The good thing is that now I’ll be playing SSF4 on a pad for a bit, so it should heal, but this will probably come up again…
