Speculation thread #4,852: Number of buttons

[f_man]

so does everyone think this is going to be 6 button'd?

it could very easily be 4 button'd like kof

or 4 button'd + 2 button assist like mvc2

or it could be like virtua fighter and have 3 buttons

or it could be 5 button'd like guilty gear

maybe 2 button'd like karate champ

perhaps theyll be innovative and have 8 buttons- a button for throw and a button for universal overhead, or maybe buttons for special attacks

COME ON LETS KEEP SPECULATING WE ONLY HAVE MORE THAN A YEAR REMAINING

[ObsidianZ]

Why have separate buttons for throw and UOH when the 3s system worked fine?

SFIV will not turn into a tag-team style fighter, ergo no assists.

*ObZ

[Dai_]

It's going to have just 2 buttons, "taunt" and "win".

[Corner-Trap]

I say the game should only have one button "auto-win"

[Mariodood]

If this game doesnt have six buttons im gonna be fucking disappointed. I love having lots of buttons because if I feel like im pushing one too much I can start mashing on another. That's called mixups. :rofl:

[TaiPing]

I actually saw the blue print of SF4. A naked guy was running in town with it. It is going to have 10 buttons.

Jab/Strong/Fierce/Assist-1/Game-Freeze
Short/Forward/Roundhouse/Assist-2/Hentai

I like the hentai button the most but the game-freeze button looks welcoming as well.

[Dai_]

How about Game-Freeze>Hentai? You know, on those lonely nights when no one is near and the xb live is alone.

[SuicidalGrandpa]

It will have 4 buttons:

1. Taunt
2. Parry (Mash to achieve Daigo-like Super Parrying)
3. Meter Build (mash repeatedly to gain super)
4. SA I/II/III

The game will sell billions, I tell you.

[wakeupsweep]

A friend of a friend of a relative who knows someone who works as a charwoman at Capcom said the layout has already been decided: it's gonna be 87 buttons and 2 pedals.

[TaiPing]

The naked guy's blue print was a fake. The real controller looks like this: http://joypadgame.com/images/xbox/sb.jpg
And here I thought there would be a hentai button. Dreams can never happen. :(

[specs]

Eleventy billion buttons.

* OR *

Button count doesn't matter. What matters is that the game is designed for, and plays well with, however many buttons it uses, whether it be 6, or 4, or 3, or whatever.

[TaiPing]

... so, just fierce and roundhouse? Sounds good to me.

It's only been a week and I'm tired of speculating. I think it's more important to leave it up to the people that are making the game themselves. If they really care about SF and the fans as much as they should...it'll work out.

Oh and yes...this game will be six god damned buttons. They tried 4 with CVS1 and that shit obviously didn't happen again in CVS2. It's not even a matter of the fact that they could make a game with 4 buttons. Not every character even really needs to use every one of their normals in most SF games outside of variety and mix ups. You dont see people throwing Zangief's s.HK or Rose's s.LP all over the place. They dont really need those normals much at all. Outside of just to give them an animation for when you hit that button there's maybe one or 2 situations where those normals are actually useful for them.

When it comes down to it though...Capcom introduced 6 buttons not just to fighting games...but the arcade scene in general and if that's how SF has been and that's what has pleased nearly all of the fans...it's something they should strive to keep.

[Rob2_0]

heres my button settup

bison button: you press the bison button and bison pops out, he does a psycho clutcher and then leaves

gill button: when you die hit the gill button and< RESURRECT!

Edit the controls mentioned here are fine too
http://uncyclopedia.org/wiki/Street_fighter

[jsheppar]

given the success of ddr, capcom will attempt to bring in more money at arcades by implementing a dancepad instead of a joystick.

[Shin Sho-oh-ken]

Wow... The jokes in this thread are horrible.

Anyways, I hope they stick to the traditional 6 button layout.

[Hellion]

I hate to break it to all of you, but there will be only 1 button:

[GosBroDansFan]

2 pressure sensitive buttons. Just like Street Fighter was originally built for.

[hanz0]

so sensitive that you could not pull off moves unless they where perfectly executed:annoy: damm you SF1 damm you to hell:annoy:

[Silks]

it'll have 37 buttons

edit: haha, shove that negative rep up your asshole and spin on it

[specs]

it'll have 37 buttons

The Raging Demon now takes about 10 seconds to input. :rofl:

[NeoBlood]

0 buttons, waggle confirmed!

[Feint]

i think its gonna be a racing game.

[starlegions]

i think its gonna be a racing game.

Turns the Wheel + Gas Pedal = Hadoken!

Joystick and 6 buttons just fine.

[Silks]

maybe they'll go old school and put in a trackball. Spin that fucker!

[Shin00bi]

6 Buttons+DDR Pad, W/O A/D FTW!

Shooooouryuken--dddddaadadaDANCE.

just wait til you see the command for akuma's new raging demon :confused:

[Renesis_13]

I guess you just need the following buttons:

Start
Continue
Continue when the timer is a 0
Run
Dash
Blue Dash
Grab
Throw
Jump
Jump higher
Short Jump
Super Jump
Double jump
Side step
Back-step
Block
Low Block
Air Block
Parry
Low Parry
Air Parry
Taunt
Super Taunt (for dan players)
Jab punch
medium punch
Strong Punch
Stronger punch
Dual punch
Walking stronger punch
Middle finger button
Short kick
Long kick
medium kick
Roundhouse kick
running towards then small jump into dual kick button
KO button
TKO button
Win button
Kill button
Power button right next to the joystick so that you can "accidentally" turn off the machine.
Whining button

And I guess those are just the basic buttons, then you'll need one button for every single special and super art move in the game and properly labeled.

[spudlyff8fan]

Capcom already announced that it would only have two buttons.

Stun and Kill.

[ringopan]

I guess you just need the following buttons:




dont forget the "RUN IT BACK" button

[f_man]

LOL i thought this was gonna be a spam thread the direction this was going.

i miss the crate thread though.

[Sasmasta]

[Shungokustasu]

:rofl: don't temp them. Also, I want tag-team action in SF4, but not as the Main game, just an option.

[KORYNTHYAN]

One of the newer buttons I heard it will have is a 'belly button.'

~K.

[Hoonyo]

one self-destruct button

[GosBroDansFan]

It should have a full keyboard on it and you have to type in moves King's Quest style.

:FIERCE PUNCH
'There is nothing to drink in this room'
:SHORYUKEN
'Noyuken't'

[No Limitz]

The only move in this game is hadouken and you use a light gun.
Shoot off the screen to reload.

[f_man]

It should have a full keyboard on it and you have to type in moves King's Quest style.

you've won this thread.

[GouShRyuKen]

1 button that you mash and the character do a corigraphed match, the faster you mash the better your character fights :)

[n8archer_XI]

6 buttons; no reason it would change...

[Ultima]

For some reason, I suspect a radical new control scheme. I'm thinking something simple like Smash Bros or Gem Fighter, like Punck, Kick, Special. :(

[Humbag]

There will be so many fucking buttons that God will have a hard time playing this game.

And not only the buttons, there will be 1 joystick for every direction.

SO like 8 joysticks and a shit load of buttons in like a circle.

[PsychoSquall]

:rofl:

[Sasmasta]

LoL.

Gawth dayum...

[two2tone]

1 button for each move...

that way i can finally feel how Super Turbo Guile can do a Flash kick without charging...

sonic boom! sonic boom! opponent jumps in... FLASH KICK!!! JIGGAAA!!!!

[Silks]

:rofl:

LOL whoever put together that pic is my hero for the day

[Rioting Soul]

It should have a full keyboard on it and you have to type in moves King's Quest style.

:FIERCE PUNCH
'There is nothing to drink in this room'
:SHORYUKEN
'Noyuken't'

Good one.

------------------

6 buttons seems so obvious but Capcom just might go with 4 buttons to further entice the mainstream(console) players.

[r3ko]

All I need is 2 buttons, 1 for tap and 1 for throw. Maybe bundled together in 1 button. Now thats convenience.

4 Buttons isn't realy a problem, easily make up the difference with command normals, or is that too SNK for everyone.

[Hellion]

Cabinet Pic

Button Mashers unite.

[Rioting Soul]

4 Buttons isn't realy a problem, easily make up the difference with command normals, or is that too SNK for everyone.

Not for me but probably for a lot of ppl here.

[whitecrowz]

it should be 6 buttons, that's Capcom/SF trademark and I think everybody's used to 6 buttons for SF (at least I am); and 4 buttons is why I didn't spend time on CvS1 though I liked the game.
I'm used to 4 buttons for Kof/Tekken, but not SF; SF is 6

[hellhound]

I'd like to see some traditions passed down from each game so it should be 6 buttons.
