Anyone playing? I'm having lots of fun with it. I find it much more fun to play the SFIV. It's a beautiful game as well, some lovely animation. And this update is a real labour of love, its the complete package. Picked it up off PS+ for just over a tenner, bargain. Haven't touched Deus Ex cause of this game!

Add your live ids/psn nicks and we'll get some games going :D

    Been playing it on the PS3, but haven't taken it online yet though (gotta get my skills back to what they were!). You're absolutely right about it being a labor of love, the complete package they've put together here is spot on. As much as I love SS4, it's great to go back to this game, still plays amazing.

    360 add seforin. Prepare to get schooled by a gentleman with roses and class.

    Online is awesome here in Japan, tried playing a friend in the States and it suuuuuuuuucked. This is on 360, will be buying the PS3 version (More people). I really like the parry challenges, and they took care of the timing issues on HD TV's.

    PS3 = MegaLamont and yes, I'm using Ibuki or Ken.

    I should be getting the ps3 version soon, just sucks im going to have to get another arcade stick for it. The only one I have is for 360 but im tired of paying for live when I don't play online as much as I used to. Any suggestions for ps3 sticks? I was thinking of this one (I have a Hori ex 2 on 360 and that is my only experience with a console arcade stick.) http://www.play-asia.com/HORI_Fighting_Stick_V3/paOS-13-71-zl-49-en-70-49ov.html

    The game is good! With a proper setup it feels very smooth, yet I am pretty sure that the very nature of HDMI is laggy. Ill be hooking up my 360 to a Dell PC screen tonight using VGA to see if there is any difference. I do wish I had a decent CRT laying around for this game.

    As for the whole package, I was hoping for a liiiitle more. Especially more parry and combo challenges. I cannot believe there is only 10 parry practices - where is the EX air hurricane kick parry ? the Remy super blue disc thingie ? (tap-tap-tap, tap-tap-tap-tap). The list goes on. Same for the character move and combe practices, I was hoping for something akin to a full fledged strategy guide.

    It's good to see people giving up IV and picking up this slick piece of game again, thats for sure :) As for online, Im still on GGPO on the PC - much better for chat, I think.

    I sure hope for a lot more content through DLC.

    I added you Lamont: stereo-kid :)

    Anyone experiencing problems with it? It locked my PS3 twice today trying to boot it up, had to unplug the machine...
