All the ones released in Europe. I'm sans xbox atm so haven't played any for a while, thinking about going to more offline sessions when uni is over.

If you're a big stream monster the weekly GAF thread is worth taking a look at

(Fuck you ARC for not releasing Persona 4)

Used to play SFIV and later SSFIV. I totally adored SC4 and really liked SC5 (though the change in pace from 4 to 5 was not a good idea IMO)

I also have SFIV arcade edition on Steam, but haven't gotten the foundings yet to buy a controller. :(

SC5 is a great game. Still really popular in Europe when I last looked at tournament turn outs.

Also this needs to be in this thread

There are ways to play with a keyboard that actually aren't horrible. I actually prefer a HitBox-setup on a keyboard(that is, using Space as the Up-key) above a regular pad.
That, or a controller converter for a Xbox/PS3-pad doesn't cost much afaik.

I don't play that much SF4 myself though(prefer TTT2 and SFxT), and I'm fairly bad at it. I also get framedrops and stuff on PC. :V

If you like T3 I think you will really like Tag2, it's easily the best fighter out at the moment.

25 years however like I said before Japanese games were banned in Korea until 2004 and pro gaming is considered gambling in Japan and which also makes it illegal.

There's also a very little amount of products you can sell to console gamers compared to PC gamers so CPU companies, RAM companies etc. want to get in on the act for some advertising to help boost sales of their enthusiast products.

I wonder how big starcraft would have been had Japanese games not been banned in Korea for such a long time (up until 2004) As well as very few western publishers releasing games officially in Korea.

Another interesting point is that Pro Gaming is considered gambling in Japan and hence illegal. Where there is a crazy competitive arcade scene yet it can't really go far because of financial reasons.

25 year anniversary was recently.
The franchise you're accusing of dying were one of the big pioneers and innovators in fighting games, and then single-handedly revived the popularity of the genre back in 2009 with SF4(at which point fighting games really were dying)?

Can you go back to the other thread and be butthurt about dying games there instead? Nobody here's really all that interested in listening to you pulling dumb claims out of your ass.
