    Looking to fight somebody from the forums. Going to monitor this thread for the next 10 or 15 minutes to see if somebody is game.

    After that time has passed this thread can still be used to add each others gamer tags so we can see if somebody is online by adding one another to the friends list.

    Just press the home key to bring up the game for windows live on screen display and then go to the friends tag.

    My name is ViciousXUSMC just like the forums.

    Why is that? the TE stick works on PC too, and I have my own home built setup.

    Tell me PC is pointless when it has higher graphics, and great mods that the systems do not have.

    Im rockin the goth chun li and hulk Hogan zangief. :p

    Sure I'll play, but i can't get on right now though.
    C2Q is my name.

    I just managed to pick up the game today and i had to set up my account and i just got a fightpad with the game, so i need quite a bit of practice with the controller lol.
    Going out soon, I'll be able to play at maybe 12 am est? or earlier hopefully.

    Ok I'll see if I am up that late tonight, I need practice too and have never played SF4 before so should be a good match(s)

    Edit: just sent you a friend request, you can confirm it when you get on later.

    I would love to see your setup. I would hate playing SF4 with no Tournament stick. If I had SF4 for pc and a Tourney stick, my Ryu would blast you. ;]

    My Setup:

    Im actually not good with a joystick, I am a controller person I built this for retro gaming, however I figure if I keep practicing with the joystick I will get good with it.

    I was never able to play in the arcades as a kid, no access to quarters :p

    SF 4 for the pc is pointless to me not because it is inherently inferior in anyway. Its just that the overwhelming majority of people are playing on the consoles. Also, The simple fact that a lot of people are playing on a keyboard also ostensibly changes the game play by making charges moves much easier to execute.

    I also only have a laptop currently and 15.4" screens are just not conducive in getting my roommates to try this game.

    There seems to be a lot of people on PC, at any given time if I start arcade mode with open invitations turned on somebody joins my game to fight me before I can even get into the first round with the computer.

    I dont even know how they find/join my game so fast because its faster than I can go search for a game, unless they are using quick search and just joining the first game they see.

    Steam for me.

    I got it with the 10% off pre-order deal. Really cheap for a good game. and the PC version was already $10 less than the console version.

    I'll buy this sometime next month when I have money for the game and most likely a SF4 gamepad.

    Hello fellow PC Street Fighters. My gamertag is "Shinkansen N700" if anyone wants to game on.

    We should have a NBR match up or something. Or make a league of some sort. Anyway, looking forward to meeting some of you guys in the game.
