... are, unfortunatly, reaching their end.

But it was awesome while it lasted, and the big surprise is... I didn't play as much as usual

The reason? uuuu thats a secret for now...

Anyway it took much of my holidays and it was awesome!!!

But getting back to gaming update... I was planing on playing MotorStorm: Pacific Rift (already had 44 of the 96 races completed with gold medal) but something happened...

My older bro bought Street Fighter IV Special Edition!!!

It's a must buy (the game! SE is for fans...)! If you don't have it yet... you suck... unless you buy it till the end of the week


Street Fighter IV

Characters:

(old ones)

  • Ryu (It's the main character, always walking around to improve his skills)
  • Ken (One of the favorites in the online... i hate him so much... ryu kicks his ass!!!)
  • Chun Li (nice legs... lol the always cute but rough fighter)
  • Guile (the guy with strange but awesome hair)
  • Dhalsim (YOGA!!!)
  • Blanka (SSFIITHDR version is better...)
  • Zangief (the most annoying one...)
  • E.Honda (fat badass japanese sumo wrestler)
  • M.Bison (One of my favorite characters. His laughs make the victory even more delicious)
  • Sagat (TIGER!)
  • Vega (the sexy-arrogant-spanish-assassin isn't has strong as the older version sinse this game is slower...)
  • Balrog (the one that doesn't know how to throw a kick... he sucks as always...)

(new ones)

  • Abel (the only awesome fighter among the new ones...)
  • Rufus (fat, strange, bouncing, irritating)
  • C.Viper (She has a tie? where? )
  • El-Fuerte (Mexican wrestler chef... always jumping... irritating as well...)

(unlockable ones)

  • Fei Long (too awesome)
  • Camy (cute a$$)
  • Dan (the funniest character )
  • Sakura (n00b)
  • Rose (wth!? why this character? where's T.Hawk?)
  • Gen (another wierd character from the alpha series...)
  • Gouki (aka Akuma) (Don't have him yet... he's my fav character...)
  • Gouken (Ryu's and Ken's Master and Akuma's bro)
  • Seth (Annoyin... M.Bison is much cooler has final boss)

(I've completed the arcade mode only with the ones in bold...)

Story: ... well... what to say... its better than the previous games since it has videos.But it doesn't tell you much... Thats why there is a anime that comes with the SE pack

Game Modes:

  • Arcade (Story mode... you fight less than 10 characters being the last 2 the important ones... your rival, and Seth)
  • VS (Fight against a friend or CPU or watch a useless cpu vs cpu fight)
  • Online battle (Fight strangers from all arround the globe)
  • Chalenge mode (What makes the game big)
    • Trial (Teachs you the basics and the pro combos)
    • Time attack (defeat a number of characters within the time limit)
    • Survival (defeat a number of enemies with some restritions)
  • Training (useless mode... if you want to train go to trial mode)



Gameplay: It's pretty cool but it requires skills! The special moves are the same in most cases with some changes here and there.

The game isn't as fast as SSFIITHDR but still fast! It has some good looking Ultra moves that'll put your oponent in the line as well as the super moves. The ultra move requires the revenge gauge full or almost full... this gauge increases with the beating you get, so if you are going for the perfect you won't be making any ultra move (metsu hadouken for example...) but the super combo will be available if you do lots of special moves! Making this special moves (hadouken or shoryuken for example...) will increase your EX gauge that can be used for super moves (shinku hadouken in ryu's case) or EX-special moves (fired hadouken is a EX-special move). This moves already existed in the Street fighter 3 games - its exactly the same as the special moves but faster and stronger. You'll know you used one when your character is glowing yellow...

The new thing in this game besisdes the ultra move is the focus attack. The focus attack is a chargable attack that can take up to one hit from the enemy. This attack is usefull to create counter attacks.

Online: Almost doens't have lag! It's awesome!! There are pretty good fighter online, be aware! Train hard!

Kinda bored right now... i may have missed something on this S**ty-review... be free to make suggestions



Today I downloaded the Resistance: retribution demo... here's a small and incomplete Hands-on:

Resistance Retribution

First of all... The demo is too small, so most of the things I say here may be untrue... but this is the idea i had about the game.

The graphics were ok for a psp game (it doens't hurt your eyes) obviously nothing like the ps3 games... OBVIOUS

anyway the controls feel natural nothing too complex: Analog stick to walk; square, circle, triangle and X to aim (since it doesn't have a right analog... which sucks btw...); R to fire your weapon, L for secundary fire; left arrow to reload; right to change weapon; up to zoom (auto-aim turned off)

Yes the game has auto-aim, which is a wise decision since you don't have much precision with the 4 right buttons...

The best thing in the gameplay is the covering system. It's simple... you just press against the wall one time and your under cover (only works while having enemies near you). When you fire, you'll pop up to kill your enemies. to get down to cover again you just need to release the fire button.

I'm still playing the demo over and over, skiping the videos since they suck... why do they suck? well, the dialog is lame! seriously... WTH?

Go watch some vids and you know what I'm talking about...

Thats it for today, sorry for the long blog.

I love Street Fighter 4. Got it yesterday evening and only stopped playing it at 4 am! I played around 8 hours of it. Unlocked all characters, with the exception of Seth, i'm still working on that.
Enjoy what's left of your holidays, buddy.

My favorite characters:
- Sagat - Really powerful character;
- Ryu - Well, it's Ryu;
- Sakura - I like girls in school uniform and she can kick some b*** too;
- Akuma - He's bada$$. What else is to be said?

I need to get Street Fighter 4!
Ryu and Ken are my favourites!
I prefer more Ryu then Ken, if we put them as a team they're unstoppable!

I bet you have a girlfriend, or maybe you killed your console. Yeah, Rufus is horrible, at least Honda's belly doesn't goes BOING! every time he moves. I hope they sell new characters as DLC, like Yun, Q, that weird guy from street fighter 3 that had a big nose.

I didn't like most of the SFIII characters since most of them (if not all) are copies of previous characters...
I miss T.Hawk lol
