Reasoning? It seems like a very solid fighting game, and being someone who has rarely played SF games I've been thinking about picking it up so I can get some nice SF action.
Grab it Frozen. There is a lot of hours to be had just playing single player challenges and trials. They are all super challenging and will get you ready for playing some people online.

Just played a bit of this, and one thing that has pissed me off is the text. They shouldn't expect everyone to own HDTV's, I spent 5 minutes squinting at the commands list before turning it off, the text is so fucking small. I suppose I will just play it on the downstairs TV for now.
Now that I've had a chance to play and know the mechanics of this game better, check out my boy's video again.

Sinfulfate whopped my ass last night at a 3:1 clip. I need to practice. Someone should set up a tourney.

It's probably just me. Maybe I just don't like fighting games anymore. I just don't like having the scenario of 2D fighting with a small ass level with the same predictable moves.
I don't know. i enjoy playing it at times with my friend at his home, but I can't see my self actually going online to play others at my house with my own copy. To be honest, the second everyone else stops playing it, I'm sure I'll stop playing too. A game like that is funner with friends. I don't see this lasting that long. Or maybe I just want to invest my money in other things. I don't know.
But again, it's probably just me.
@Abe: That is BEASTY

Im down. I really wish SF 4 had tournament mode and 6 play support for player matches like HD remix.
How many people have SF 4 here?
I wouldn't be surprised if there was an tourney update at some point in the future.

Go into training mode and fight who you want, start on the easiest setting fighting the CPU, as you get better keep raising the difficulty and you should improve pretty quick.

I have practiced some of Ryu's moves, but when it comes to an actual fight, I can't manage to pull them off as I am in a rush to dodge the opponents attacks. I have to stop and concentrate on what the button combination is to pull off an upercut etc. It will probably come naturally over a while, but it's hard to grasp at the moment.
What made things worse was that I managed to get to Seth, but he is ridiculous, and sooo cheap. How am I supposed to attack him when he is constantly teleporting? lol

When they do that just focus cancel(charge focus really quick then cancel it so you can absorb an attack yet not be stuck in the whole animation, really useful against projectiles) to absorb the ground fireballs and dash forward to avoid the air ones. Make sure to be really aggressive against people who just try to spam fireballs. Start the battle out by jumping towards them doing a airborne Tatsumaki Senpukayku and if that hits then your set for the whole round since that will knock them down giving you the advantage to stay close to them.
He aint lyin'!

Thanks for the tip, i'll try this next time im in a fight.
edit: i love it when i use the focus move to knock someone out and then follow it up with a super or ultra combo.

The "Trial" mode under challenges is really good for learning characters and combos. The first part is pretty easy, but then it starts getting harder teaching you how to do 5+ hit combos and super moves into ultra moves etc....
