i have it on PS3... if you have the PS3's language set to Japanese from the main menu of the PS3 (not the game's) it puts the entire game in Japanese, not only the voices but the text and the subtitles in Japanese as well... it's pretty frickin' awesome

Have it on my 360 but I hate playing Street Fighter with the 360 control so I doubt I'll be online to meet anyone

this game is the shit! I was up pretty late last night playing it.  Anybody think Seth is more annoying final boss than M. Bison or is it just me.  That guy is a pain in the butt!

Have any of you guys gotten the guide book for this game yet...i am thinking about picking it up from Tsutaya in 渋谷 tonight (if it's there).

Also...have you guys been going through the trial modes...wow those upper level combos are so hard to pull off!

So you are Fei Long..i am the typical ryu fireball spammer lol. i want to try and go through them all...i want to know how all the characters operate so that i be a better fighter..

wow i think i am taking this too seriously lol

Yeah lately i have still been stuck trying to finish off ryu's hard trial mode combos lol.
After that I want to start unlocking characters. 
Hey have you gotten the extra costumes? It sucks that you have to pay for them...i bit the bullet and payed for the ryu and ken pack though...ryu's extra outfit is so bad a$$!

Yeah, those are probably the same people who single-handedly make profit for Capcom at the arcades, lol. I'm not good with a stick anyway. I've had few opportunities to use a stick and the few times I did they were half broken.

On the challenge mode... I would just recommend practicing focus/dashing over and over. Do it until it becomes second nature. Then you'll be able to do whatever move you want after. One thing I did with Fei Long was Fierce Punch -> Burning Kick (rekka something) -> focus cancel -> dash.... over and over.

Once I got that down. I just did the entire combo whether it connected or not. I found that if I waited for hit confirmation on combos that require perfect timing, as opposed to feeling, I just missed the opportunity to finish the combo when it came up. I call it plowing. Even if the dummy (dan) starts blocking keep doing the combo. Otherwise you'll end up in a situation where you keep missing the very last hit.

Also, looking away from the screen from time to time helps to. Try to do the combo with your eyes closed, lol. It's sounds silly, but it I do it. I try go by sound alone. If nothing, it helps rid you of the need for visual confirmation. It's either about feeling or timing.

It took me about 4 hours total, with a break in between, to do Fei Long entire hard trial. Then I went through it again finished in under 30 minutes. I also use a 3 punch button. There's no way in hell I would even consider doing 3 punches on an Xbox controller, lol.

*youtubes ダイゴ*

Guys got skillz.

For ryu, I guess try Fierce Punch (or strong punch... I'm more a ken guy ) -> Dragon Punch -> focus dash over and over. Make sure to jump over the dummy and practice on the other side as well.

If you're just having trouble doing his ultra alone I would recommend doing the Hadoken input over and over but not pressing punch. Then input the ultra command slowly. Repeat on both sides. Even the best (excluding robots who have honed their skill playing SFA/SFEX nonstop for the last 10 years) have trouble inputing the qcfx2 motion... sometimes.

If you haven't been hammering at SF for last few years the best advice I could give to you is to give it time and take breaks every few minutes (to let things soak). I wonder if anki works for Street Fighter.

Edit: Damn this post didn't seem that long when I was typing it.
