Gamekyo.com has posted some great new scans of Fei Long and Dan from SF4. People are saying (purely from these still pictures) that “Dan may be viable in SF4!”. It also appears that Fei has a command throw that works very similarly to Yun’s, which should make a lot of you very excited. Personally, it makes me terrified. Check out the scans here and here.
Day one of online play around the nation for both Xbox 360 and PS3 owners is in the books. I talked to a lot of people yesterday with wildly different opinions on which characters are strong and which are weaker now, thanks to the changes. I even went on Alphaism Radio for a few hours to talk about how I feel about the game. I am a bit of a critic, but when its all said and done, I did spend 16 hours online playing it yesterday (yes, I had a day off work!). Its amazing how a list of changes so small that most casual players won’t even be able to tell the difference has given the game new life on this level. The excitement surrounding this historic release is just amazing. HD Remix really marks the first time that a developer spent absurd amounts of money giving the hardcore fans what they asked for. It took a long time, but its here, and at 15 US Dollars, its a steal.
