Got it. Played it. Already unlocked Rose, Cammy and Gen. As always, Vega is the best. I'm still very strongly convinced the Aniverse's own adored-by-me 'pretty boy' Deadeye Duck stole his wall-climb move in the BOH NES game from him ;D I don't think my family could afford a Live account though, so no I haven't downloaded the alternate costumes. However, my mom has agreed to make Vega's alternative outfit for one of my 20 -yes, 20- Vega figures, and yes I plan to have some photographs taken so if anyone wants to see then please let me know! Another of my Vega figures wears his matador uniform (as seen in the V series), plus a matching cape like the one he wears in some very rare comics. And of course I have some of the Street Fighter 4 merchandise. I have all four T-shirts, all three action figures (Ryu, Ken, Crimson Viper), the XBox 360 and PS3 skins, the PS3 controller skin, the XBox 360 arcade stick, two copies of the first issue of the comic, the published guide and as I chose the limited edition copy of both versions of the game yes I have the Crimson Viper and Ryu figurines, the DVD and the comic-style move guide for the new characters. I pre-ordered the game at my local GameStation, but because my reputation as a gamer has become so well-known the manager at my local game was nice enough to give me one of the leftover Chun Li figurines you get if you pre-order there. Awwww! Oh yes, and did I forget to mention? As well as the aforementioned merchandise... the UK received an even bigger bonus: guess which Jean-Claude Van Damme movie came on TV on the day after Street Fighter 4 was released over here! In fact I hope mom makes the outfit for my Vega figure in time for March 23 because it's Jay Tavare's (Vega from the movie) birthday and I'd like to show him the photos as a birthday present  |

LOL no they don't, I've managed to collect 20 - three ReSaurus ones (one of which I won on an EBay auction all the way in Raul Julia and our very own Mad Cat's fair homeland of Puerto Rico!), one GI Joe one and the rest are all the SOTA version. And before you ask, it's one of the ReSaurus ones which wears the matador uniform and the cape, and another of the same version which will wear the outfit my mom is making. And no, Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun Li is yet to be released in the UK so I haven't seen it yet. I have seen a few clips of it on YouTube though, it looks pretty good... but... to put it politely, being a Vega fan I'd say the REAL villain in the movie isn't M Bison, it's Chun Li herself! Also if any of the Soul Calibur 3, Soul Calibur 4 and Mortal Kombat: Armageddon players are interested, I have created some of the live-action movie cast members in those games. You can't have kustom-on-kustom fights in Mortal Kombat: Armageddon... but in SC3 and 4 maybe you can have the Vega actors to exact their revenge on their 'assailants'! ;D I haven't created Byron Mann (Ryu in Van Damme's Street Fighter) yet, and Kristin Kreuk (Chun Li in the new movie) is still a work in progress but I'll let y'all know if I do create them! But please let me know if you want any of my current creations  Jay Tavare - created in all three games. Uses the Cat Claws (Voldo) in Soul Calibur 3 and 4 Taboo (Vega in the new movie) - created in all three games. Uses the Cat Claws (Voldo) in Soul Calibur 3 and 4 Neal McDonough (M Bison in the new movie) - Mortal Kombat: Armageddon, Soul Calibur 4. Uses any of Raphael's weapons in Soul Calibur 4 Raul Julia (may he rest in peace) (M Bison in Van Damme's Street Fighter) - Soul Calibur 4 only. Uses any of Raphael's weapons, or the 18th Hole (Hilde) |

Oh yes, yes I looked it up. Heh no wonder Taboo is so handsome ;D. Neal McDonough (M Bison) could never be as magnificent as Raul Julia was though. He was so charming, so suave - and don't get me started on when he flicked the cape back! *drool* I'm a sucker for capes, which yes is why I suggested Nottsoperfect draw Komplex wearing one ;D Also yes I still cry for Raul sometimes, I can't believe he's gone  So why you selling the game anyway, Wild Goose? Had any trouble with it huh?  |

Awwww bless! Well I too am oldschool, I'm a sucker for the classics like Gauntlet or Final Fantasy. Heck a few years ago I was in a second-hand games shop, and I bought the SNES game 'Plok'... and a couple of guys also in the shop were like, "Oh boy we have an oldschool gamer here!" But I have played one or two modern greats, some of the new moves may often be hard to perform but I'm pretty good at button-mashing with the old classic moves... but still, never without some form of strategy. Vega, for example. Try repeatedly sliding and/or fierce slashing the opponent... then once the opponent is dizzy go for another slide and/or fierce slash and keep doing so if you're skilled enough - don't give the opponent a chance to attack! But being a Vega fan, if I'm fighting against him I usually have the good manners to let the CPU Vega retrieve his claws and mask if they get knocked off 0:-) |

Yes I have, unfortunately I don't have a live account so no I can't download the HD Street Fighter. But what a delight about the movie coming on again huh? I'd just gotten over the excitement of the two airings in February, then another one is announced |

For you, the airing will be one of the greatest moments of your life. For me, it'll be Monday.  |

Awwww Toadborg, how thoughtful of you to so nicely 'parody' a line from the movie! You are such a gentleman ;D Yes the airing will indeed be one of the greatest moments of my life, after all surely anyone would want to somewhat recreate their most precious happy memories and especially because, like I told you on Facebook, channel Five's annual single airing for 2004 was timed very Righteously! Said airing was also the first time I ever experienced an airing in the merry month of December (I later had two in December 2007). It even turns out my cat Raul (named after Raul Julia, not after one board visitor here [you know who you are ] who Emailed me admitting your real name is 'Raul' and you asked if I'd named the cat after you) was born 12 days after Five's annual airing for 2003! And Wild Goose, I forgot to mention I too have the Sega Mega Drive collection, of course I love classics like Sonic and Golden Axe but I mainly got it because it has one of my favorite Mega Drive games on it: COLUMNS!!! |

No it's not difficult it's very easy for me, I'm a fast learner when it comes to games especially ones I really enjoy ;D In fact has anyone here ever played the PS2 game Shin Megami Tensei: Lucifer's Call (AKA Nocturne)? In one area you have to fight three specific bosses in no order other than Clotho, Lathesis and finally Atropos - I figured this out because this is the order of the three themes' listing in Columns! Anyway... yes I have seen the commercial for Street Fighter 4. How DAMME appropriate I have first seen the commercial since I received my happy news |
