Can`t see this yet so here goes. Only had a little go and don`t currently have an Arcade stick. Already you can see it has a lot over the Arcade version. With moving animations for ending movies and more interaction with rival characters, along with the extra characters makes it a decent buy. In Japan we got a free animation movie disc without the version me or my mate bought being limited 360 and PS3 versions! The game in my opinion looks better in HD than in the Arcade. I am not a massively deep SF player so I can`t say so much about it gameplay wise, and I`m sure many people on here already know the way it plays. I`m gonna play more soon maybe not tonight prob tmrw if I get chance.
I`m sure someone else can add more impressions. The new characters Dan etc need to be unlocked which may be a bit of a ball ache as my mate informs me it is a lot harder in Arcade mode even on easy than the Arcade machine. Seth is apparently a bit cheap which is not good to hear as I found him rather easy on the Arcade. The training is very good and good for practicing not had chance to try online yet will give more details later. Sorry for only glossing over the surface, there are more modes but not investigated yet. Plus game seems region free 360 version displays in English too I`m sure people already know this though.
Update
Not tried Challenge mode but I am guessin this is like in the Arcade game where you earn points for doing tasks like throw opponent 35 times etc. Played Arcade mode it is good animation intros and endings are excellent I was C.Viper, but Seth is very very cheap even on the easiest mode he was annoying as... Unlocked Cammy and can now use her online. Played about 10 matches online no lag at all. I hosted most games as my net is fastish I think (Some peeps had no signal too, still no lag only a slight pause at the start of one match when I played someone who was Blanka). The people I played were very average nowhere near the standard I play in Japan I am still rubbish though
. I got beat a lot not hammered as in Japan though.
The pad is good but specials especially ultras are hard to pull off compared with a stick even if you set one button to all punch or kick. Most people were picking random type characters online, in Japan the most poular characters seem to be Sagat, Zangief, Ryu, Ken, Gouki (Akuma) and M.Bison (Balrog). People used Chun Li, Rufus etc at first not anymore from what I see in my local Arcade and when I`m in Tokyo.
You can picked ranked matches online or player match or create a match, quick match etc. You can also choose a picture and some text you earn from beating the game in Arcade mode. Mine says Wind,Tree,Water,Moutain I think many cool ones with Kanji I cannot read though
. Some funny pictures too of Dan etc. Loading is quick online and in game, waiting only a few seconds till your playing (I don`T have HD install on). Hope that helps not sure if I can add more any questions I`ll try my best to answer them.
