Why's that collectors edition worth the extra dollars? It should come with the arcade stick or something...

Anime movie (bluray/360 disc)
2 figurines (ryu, c.viper)
Little booklet tip guide thing
5 alternate costumes (brawler pack)

For $60 more than the standard edition (at NZ prices) it wasn't too bad.

Surely the alternate costumes will be availible off XBL at some stage? Ryu and Balrog look sweet.

The CE costumes aren't exclusive, no. The costume packs come out in lots of 5 chars, CE just gets the first one (brawlers) free.

was hoping JBHiFi were going to do a trade-in deal

Will most likely wait untill i can comfortably buy it.

Someone explain to me what this Ultra meter is.
Everyone seems to think the tekken "Rage" system they're bringing in is a joke, when your down to very little health, you have a kind of focused attack, with more power.


But doesn't SF4 have a meter where when youre getting your ass-whipped
you get to build your ultra meter, and from the looks of it those ultra moves are easily the most damaging, is that so different?

You build up ultra meter by taking damage (including damage absorbed by focus attacks that gets recovered). You don't necessarily have to be getting your ass whipped to get Ultra, however usually once you've got it you'll be down to 1/2 health.

Ultra meter is used for ultra attacks, which can pretty much only be comboed as juggles (in which case they do less damage due to scaling).

From what I understand of the 'rage' system, it's a passive ability that means you just are more powerful when you're near dead. The ultra meter gives no advantage other than a new move you can do, but have to actually do some work to hit it. So yeah, it is actually quite different.

FOCUS ATTACK

FOCUS ATTACK - MEDIUM PUNCH + MEDIUM KICK
Also known as Saving Attack


The Focus Attack is a system introduced in Street Fighter 4 that allows you to absorb a hit and counter attack which can lead to multiple out comes such as a stagger hit or a crumple state. It can also be used to absorb fireballs and other hits (much like a Street Fighter III Parry), as well as "Dash Cancel" within combo sequences to increase hits and damage.

You can execute the Focus Attack by pressing medium punch and medium kick at the same time. You can hold it down for a set time to obtain three different levels. You can dash forward or back at anytime to cancel this charge.


The three level properties are as follows:

The Focus Attack must be a counter hit to crumple otherwise it will just stagger the opponent on hit.
The Focus Attack will cause a crumple state on normal hit where one can follow up with a combo.
The Focus Attack becomes unblockable and leads to a crumple state on hit.
To absorb a non-armor breaking attack, simply hold the Focus Attack and you will absorb one hit. This will take away a portion of your life bar which is recoverable over time, unless you are hit in which you will lose it permanently. You can also dash back or forward upon impact of the attack to either back away from your opponent or dash through the attack to pressure your opponent. This method is useful for dashing through projectiles to lessen the distance between you and your opponent.

To Focus Attack Dash Cancel (FADC) a special move of your own, upon impact of the special move, hold the Focus Attack down and dash forward or backwards. Doing this will use up two stocks of your Super Meter but will allow you to cancel out of your special move and recover much quicker than your opponent. This can lead to some devastating combos if used correctly and also allow you safely dash out of your special moves if the other player ends up blocking it.
