Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition for PC

Hi all,

What a relief! After skipping Super Street Fighter IV for the PC (consoles only). Capcom has smelled the coffee and really listened to their fans for a PC version. Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition came out yesterday, 7/4/2011. Retailing at $40 it is quite a bargain. So far so good. Looks like Capcom finally did their homework. The game is very cabinet friendly. The problems that plagued the original Street Fighter IV PC release are gone. Namely, the lack of multi-keyboard support as noted in this workaround post: http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=96377.0 which made it impossible to play with 2 players with one keyboard encoder on a cabinet (until we patched it of course). Also, they got rid of the loader menu that used to pop in in the original SFIV, where you had to click on Launch to get it to run. Now, the game simply launches from the icon on your desktop right into the game. Perfect!

Also, from what I've noticed so far, the game looks very polished. Menus are easier to access and have many options. I'm still messing around with it, but figured I'd post my findings here. Feel free to add comments if you own the game as well.

One other note: I advise that everyone purchase the digital version (downloadable) so that no cd will be required after installation.

Ohhh man! I'm all over this one! Thanks Ben!!!

.:EDIT:. Holy crap! It's almost 8 GB!!! Nearly 4 hours download estimate from Amazon! Guess I'll go play some games (and uninstall Street Fighter IV from the cab) as I wait!

.:EDIT #2:. Man, I can't use XBOX Live and my PC Live signin at the same time? Damn you Microsoft! Damn you!!! Guess it's time I gave the cab it's own Live ID anyways, I ain't payin for another Live account just for a few games! Feel free to add me if you play!

Am I the only one that feels like the balance of power has been down shifted a great deal on this revision? The twins are freaking hard to beat on normal mode! Maybe I just suck!

yea they messed the balance up big time.what better excuse for another version of SF4! seriously capcom is the KING of milking its customers.

A quick tip: try using T Hawk,Zangief Sagat,or Evil Ryu.those 4 can handle the twins with ease,especially T Hawk,he can maul them.

THawk?

You sure about that? Last I heard THawk is still bottom tier and twins are top
