Anyone here play the SF card game by Sabertooth games ? I picked up two packs yesterday . ( Ken and Ryu starter decks. )
It looks like a lot of fun.
I never had the chance to play the Mortal Kombat vs Street Fighter ones. But I don't care anymore , now that I have a Ryu starter deck ! Hopefully these do well enough , that we'll see more starter decks in the future !
^_^

yeah, i play the game.,,.
some good news, they are doing well and there will indeed be more expansions and starter decks... they plan to complete the rest of the SF2 cast in July and then continue with the Alpha characters and ultimately third strike in the more distant future...
as a side note, they got the licenses to KoF2006 and Samurai Shodown 5, with a projected, but not definite, release date in December...
gabrielzero,
you should pick up some boosters and try to get his Shoryuken and Tatsumaki,,. both are great moves....

Wow , thanks for the information man. I'm going over to Sabertooth's website to see if they have a checklist.
I just oredered a box of boosters from my comic store. The only bad news is that it's 65 dollars. But they said they'll give me a 10% discount.
you should check out ccgarmory.com
they have booster boxes @$49.99 and even singles if you don't want the whole box. They also have common and uncommon sets @$4.99 and $11.99 respectively...
Sabertooth's UFS site has a full text spoiler:
Sabertooth main site>UFS>Street Fighter/Soul Caliber/Penny Arcade>See cards>full text spoiler
or you can check out the Download section of each game's section for their particular check lists, which are arranged so that you'll know what cards are associated with their starters... it also lists the rarity... "D" means starter deck only

Here's an earlier thread (http://www.shoryuken.com/forums/showthread.php?t=112538) I tried to start on this topic.:arazz: I've been enjoying this CCG quite a bit -- it's been getting a decent turnout for Monday night mini-tournaments at a local comic shop here. Very much looking forward to future installments/updates to the game.
EDIT: btw, Gain -- thanks for costing me $200. :) I followed that link you provided to ccgarmory.com and wound up springing for 2 booster boxes each of SCIII and SF. Ordinarily, I'd skip the online retailer and just support the local comics/gaming shop, but the savings ccgarmory.com was offering was just too good to pass up. At $3.29 per booster pack, each box would've cost me $78.96 locally -- 4 boxes would've run me $340.32 (w/NV sales tax), but my bill at ccgarmory.com was just $212.86 (w/USPS Priority). A savings of $127.46 (37.45%). Thanks, man.

Ah crap, my love of all things Street Fighter is conflicting with my hatred of CCGs..
IM SO CONFLICTED!!
well maybe if the artwork is cool
and if there are Juli and Juni cards
and if ther cheap enough
and if I can find somepeople to paky with I guess that would help
youd be surprised how hard it is to find a game of anything in Massachusettes

The SF artwork is being done by Udon. For the most part, it's good, but every so often you run across a card that makes you wonder "how the hell did this crap illustration get approved?" The SCIII artwork is being handled by Imaginary Friends Studio, and (IMO) is of a more consistent (and high) quality, overall.
No Juli and Juni yet -- so far, Hibiki Dan is the only SFZero series character I can recall seeing on any of the SF cards. Sabertooth Games seems to be focused on getting the original 12 World Warriors established first. I haven't seen any announcements regarding The New Challengers or Gouki yet, let alone the SFZero and SFIII series.
The prices at ccgarmory.com are the cheapest I've seen so far.
The store-finder at sabertoothgames.com lists 2 stores in Massachusetts:
TJ Collectibles
160 Main St
Milford MA 01757
508-634-0343
Modern Myths, LLC
34 Bridge St #4
Northampton MA 01060
888-227-8844
You might try contacting them to see if either of those locations is hosting any local tournaments (or has a bulletin board where you could tack up a flyer indicating your interest in meeting other players).

I played the card game for the first time yesterday. It was a lot of fun. Is it just me or is the Ken starter deck way more poweful then the Ryu starter deck ?
i would say that the ken starter is better than the ryu starter because many of the cards that make ryu effective aren't in his starer deck... still, with his deck exclusive hadoken, yoga mastery and hopefully a random ring veteran, ryu can be just as good, if not better...
ken is very powerful in the game... especially when he uses this card called "Maelstrom Divide"... he can basically draw up to 28 cards and then play MD to kill the opponent in a few turns... there are many ways around this attack
Ryu is great too, especially against ken, since Ryu plays a very effective denial deck... with Yoga Mastery, he can cancel out MD's effect... and he has great moves too... they just don't come in his starter

The game is great. I placed 2nd last week at a local tournament (Dhalsim Deck)for it with about 12 person turnout. For the next sets I don't think they are going in any particular order for characters other than finishing the Super Turbo characters. The only reason I say this is because I've heard Ibuki is in the next set along with Akuma. Just give me Urien and I'll be happy.

the next set will have the characters that were available for promo, which are:
blanka, balrog, guile, e-honda, vega and m.bison
and for sc3:
setsuka, kilik, tira, zasalamel (sp?) and raphael
when the sabertooth staff visited a local card shop a few weeks ago, they said that they were going to finish the SF2 characters, then they were going to do Alpha and last SF3 characters...
some info about the next expansion from the sabertooth forums (http://sabertoothgames.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8760&PN=5)

It's fun.
In a different twist, SG puts out cards that are retarded powerful, for all characters. As opposed to something like MtG, where cards really only start getting powerful when combined with something.
It's taken some getting used to, seeing a card that seems too good to exist and such.
Just dropping in to say for all of you who thinks Ken is powerful, you should see Sagat.

Yeah, me and my friend played in a tourney today and he played Zangief and I played Sagat.
3 Rounds of Swiss with best 2 out of 3 matches for each round.
My Sagat deck didn't lose a single match.

Hey guys, I never knew there was a thread for this cool game here on srk. I'm glad this thread isn't in troll city (general discussion). But I'll post up a nice big long post on my next post(s). This game is only getting better with all the new stuff being put out by sabertooth.

Yeah, I did, and I got lucky. The closest was only 30 minutes away from my place so it was all cool I picked up a Chun starter, 3 WW packs, and 8 SC3 packs. Can't wait till SS and KoF come in!

You guys wanna see my guile deck that I'm using now? I think it's a pretty sweet deck.
Sure, go ahead and post the list up, I hear a good Guile's pretty expensive to make.
Some Gencon spoilers via members on STG that went:
Akuma, Ryu(Evil), and Cammy are confirmed future promos. Cammy will be awarded via the teach a buddy program.
There will be a SC3 Battle Box, Siegfried and a girl(I think Sophita) will be the focus.
The next SF set is gonna be really small <_<, with only 4 new chars(which I'm gonna speculate will be called "The New challengers" :P)
SS and KOF should be out by Dec. 1st.

Tell me what you guys think of it. And yes I'm willing to bet that the new street fighter expansion is gonna have fei long, dee jay, cammy and t hawk. Should be really awesome when it comes out. Also the soul calibur battle box is gonna have siegfried and sophitia.
Seems to be a really decent Guile you got there Kunio(sorry for the late response) my opinion is to main deck the dog tags(there's a wicked combo on the official ufs forums with the tags, which could work much better for your deck)

So this game is a combinatin of SF and sc? it looks really cool and i'm taking a hiatus from magic so what should i start out with?
Also i'm a lil confused as to how connected sc and sf are. Like are they 2 seperate card games or all part of the same game so u can mix n match sf cards with sc cards in the same deck?
How do i get ahold of some Guile cards? Someone mentioned that he was a promo? Was it packaged in a magazine or something?
What's the difference between Guile 55 and Guile 56? Looks like the same card with different artwork.
O.Zoolander: Think of it as Vs. Different Franchises, one central game system. Get a starter and a couple of boosters, mostly everyone's really decent, just avoid the Ryu and Chun Li starters for now, Chun's really weak, and Ryu's just average right now. Starter Ken used to be uber cheese with his Maelstrom Divide combo, but he's been neutered(they still haven't taken care of promo Zasalamel >_>)
Majestros: Guile and his attacks can be found in the World Warriors expansion. But for the promo Guile, just attend a tourney at your local card store, he's one of 12 promos randomly given out as prizes.

ufscards.com has sneak peeks (http://www.ufscards.com/component/option,com_facileforms/Itemid,32/lang,en_us/) of the new promo character cards for: Ibuki, Haohmaru, Twelve, Dee Jay, Sakura, Hanzo, Cody, Sagat, Ryu, Rose, Fei Long, Dhalsim, Charlie, Ken, Adon, and Zangief.
Cardboard Dojo has a promo previews page (http://cbdojo.navistudios.net/index.php?content=op) featuring the new promo character cards for: Xianghua, Kyo, Nightmare, Mai, Siegfried, Nagase, Sophitia, Athena, Mitsurugi, Iori, Taki, Lien, Astaroth, and Terry.
EDIT: according to a post in this thread (http://www.sabertoothgames.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11664&PN=1) at the Sabertooth Games forums, the SNK expansion for UFS will have some of the characters in dedicated Starter Decks and some available only in Booster Packs (similar to the way the 1st installments of SF and SCIII were handled when UFS launched):
** Starter Decks **
Terry Bogard
Mai Shiranui
Haohmaru
Ukyo Tachibana
** Booster Characters **
Iori Yagami
Kyo Kusanagi
Nagase
Lien Neville
Athena Asamiya
Alba Meira
Yoshitora
Charlotte
Gaira
Hanzo
Nakoruru
Galford
Good choices for the Starter Decks, IMO, with STG going for 2 of the most recognized characters from KOF and SS. Booster sales should be decent, too, with other popular characters (Iori, Kyo, Hanzo, Nakoruru) pushing them.
EDIT: ufscards.com updated today with the sneak peek of Hugo (http://www.ufscards.com/content/view/183/32/lang,en_us/).
