Friday got the word that TNJ in kaimuki would have ssf4 and on top of that for sale! Rode over asap. Paid and the clerk told me I was the first person to get it :D!!! The hawaii SRK thread later reported that the 360 version was the first to sell all 40 copies in about an hour,m soon after the PS3 version sold out all the same.
First Impressions of the game.
First thing I tackled was Honda’s Trials. Only one that gave me a problem was the forsaken butt-slam to ultra juggle :/ Immediately you could feel that most of the normals for each character was faster, esp the medium to hard versions. Slight timing adjustment for a few links but for the most part 1-frame links seem a tad easier than before. The game FEELS faster but it said to be the same speed as vanilla version.
Colors and Taunts are mostly unlocked based on time played as far as i can judge right now.
Trials should be a breeze for anyone who has completed them before in vanilla. Juri’s trial with her Feng Shui Engine is REALLY fun. turns all her normals into target combo-like quickness with great potential for mix-up esp if you have your opponent cornered.
Currently thinking about learning Juri and Cody. Keeping with Honda though, as EVO is just a few months away.

Awesome Wray! I’m gonna have T-shirts made with your face HUGE on the front for EVO. No doubt!
Update your website! It’s July already!
Convince me to stop playing Gears of War 2 so I can whup your ass on SF4.
