Street Fighter IV

[PTAhole]

Anyone else pissing themselves for this game? I hope there's the arcade deck somewhere in Erie, because I haven't played Street Fighter in the arcade in about ten years. I'm ridiculously excited.

I'm really excited too. Let me know if you find anywhere that has this game because I don't have a 360

My brother told me about how this one arcade smuggled a copy of SF4 about two or three months before the game was officially released. He said it looked like a custom arcade cabinet and that they were charging $1 per play and it was drawing big crowds.

I checked it out about a week ago, the price is now $0.75 per, but it's still getting some attention. I played as both of my favorites, E. Honda and Blanka. It was kind of cool, but it didn't interest me enough to want to play it any more than twice.

I played this a little bit at a friends house and it got me really excited to go out and buy the game. Too bad I can't. I really wish there was somewhere here where I could play it in an arcade...

[PTAhole]

Yeah, I went to a friend's house and played this for about three hours. I had a great time with it. I should probably try to get a copy. I need to get a 360 or a PS3 first, though. I, too am upset that there is no arcade in Erie that has the game. There aren't any real arcades around here anyway, but you'd think that the movie theater would want to get it.

They didn't really market Street Fighter IV that well.

It should have been like this:

- Hype it
- Let a couple black market cabinets slip through
- Release the arcade cabinets FULL FORCE into arcades
- Release the game

But they only did the second and fourth, because there are no more stand-alone arcades.

Try bowling alleys. That's where my brother goes to get his arcade on.

All we have in our bowling alleys are bowling video games
