Ah, me stupid.

Dial-a-combo? I think you confused SF4 with Killer Instinct... Eh, I suck at SF4. It's more a nostalgia fun for me. But a damn fun one at that.

The thing about 4 is that you can do most of the old combos just as you normally would in most fighting games with buffering. 4 is probably the most difficult fighter when it comes to the more complex combos that have to be cancelled at what seems like an EXACT frame. Of course this is only necessary for high level play but it makes some characters incredibly difficult to remain competitive with.

A nice example would be Akuma's hard punch > tatsumaki > shoryuken. The timing on that is ridiculously easy and anyone could do it. Now you take Sakura who is one of my mains and SECOND TO LAST in the current tiers and her best combos require insane timing to get anywhere near as much damage. I could go into sakura strategies and why I suck, but all I'm getting at is SF4 is both accessible to the nastalgia crowd and incredibly difficult for competitive players.

Some of the best matches have maybe 1 or 2 MAJOR combos in them. Of course, those might not be as exciting to watch.

Since you hate on MvC2, maybe the VERY similar game you bothered to import coming to the US will make you even madder... I have no clue what a tatsunoko even is.

oh so then you've played it? No I'll just assume you've READ that they are similar. Both games definately love supers but the fact that the game isnt quite as insanely fast and you cant completely destroy a support character with a couple supers goes a long way. With that said, I wasn't a huge fan of tatsunoko but I would definately play it over mvc2.

And to clarify, yes I was NOT happy to see it coming over here. Is nothing worth importing anymore?!

It's a VS game. At the end of the day they're all pretty much the same...

Nothing is worth paying more than 99 cents for... that's what the iPhone's taught me.

I've seen a "KING OF C0NN" on SF4 a couple times now. I've only been able to play him once, but when i joined his game, he immediately put on the laughing face icon. Conn has never talked about playing street fighter but I need clarification if this is indeed actually the Conn we all know.

Didnt I talk about playing it once in the arcade before it was released on consoles?
