Get your hands on Street Fighter IV early (if you are in Las Vegas)

Street Fighter IV won’t be out for another month, but if you are in Las Vegas later this week I’ve got some great news for you. Capcom is giving you, well twenty of you, a chance to get your hands on it early. As in way early…as in this week. In addition, we’ll take the best SF IV player and put you up against the best Playstation Blog SF IV player. It’s a cross platform Battle Royale. Interested in defending our honor? If you are 18 years of age or older, and you are in the greater Las Vegas area send me an email (Major at Xbox dot com) with your Gamertag, your real name and why you deserve to be in on the action. Only 20 players can represent Xbox 360 since it will be a tight fit in the Capcom suite. Head over to the Capcom blog  for more details and I’ll see some of you on Thursday.

    I love these kinds of events – except when they’re halfway across the country. Any plans on bringing some of these to the east coast?

    Go Team 360. Erm, Major, I know that Glasgow, UK, does not sound as glamorous as Las Vegas, but if you ever fancy hosting an event in a place where the sun never shines, the locals are rude, the gas expensive and 3G coverage is patchy, well, then come to my home town.

    We have a serious disadvantage if they end up using console controllers as the PS3 D-Pad is waaaaaaayy precise and better than the xbox’s D-pad.

    Does this mean there will be no reader meetup this time? (or has that yet to be announced)

    FunkyCD, have you seen this? http://store.gameshark.net/sfiv/sfiv_fp_xbox_ryu.htm
    The new MadCatz control pad for 360? The site is for the UK, but I am sure a little bit of googling will find you a canadian retailer.

    Wow, FunkyCD and Anon 5, you sad a mouth full that made me literally cry once, but I don’t care any more. I’ll skip out on this and nominate: Bushi no Eire; Mister Chief 13; MKVSSF; Shadow Kisuragi; shutyrum; The AWI; TUBBY1313 (not in that order – but worthy opponents by all means). They seem to have a handle on that D-Pad and the arcadesticks. It sucks a ‘warrior’ is defeated by a lame D-Pad. google: kgr top 10 This topic never gets old and we wonder if companies (Capcom and Microsoft) will ever follow: http://www.flickr.com/photos/28850631@N05/2695194250/ . The standard xbox360 D-Pad controller hurts your (my) thumb after minutes of continuous play. That’s not including loads of unintended commands – even when I win! I used to play the SNES and PS1 versionS from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. every Saturday for months – no pain whatsoever or mistaken moves executed no where as near as on a default Xbox360 controller. The MadCatz helps a lot, but not the same. Thanks Maj, I’m going to sit this one out. Though I WILL want to see some video footage of the fights. They sure to be hot and aggressive and not people just hoping around in previous pre-plays.

    From the PlayStation.Blog wrt which console the final will be played on:

    “Like you said, a round on each. If it goes to 3 rounds, probably a coin flip.”

    I agree with most of you guys… GO TEAM 360!!

    I am envious of the 20 guys that will be going, and now I have another question. Will it be possible to play in the net against PS3’s? If it is, way awesome! If not, duh… to bad.

    I live in vegas and would love to represent 360. My history with SF goes back to 1987 and was into the tourneys in the mid 90’s. Let me know if you can use me.
