4th Loketest?

[Tizoc]

Clue from the 3rd Loketest thread, mentioned a Loketest to take place at the 8th this month; can someone confirm this?

[fallot]

I thought the mention of the test being on the 8th from Kunai(?) was confirmation enough.

[Kunai]

Yes, on April 8th, the Japanese Capcom blog for SFIV will notify the public about the next location and dates for the next loketest. It's been confirmed by several people already.

Does anyone know if SF4 is getting more tests than a usual fighting game release? Or is it just that these tests are more publicized? :D

[DragonPunchPimP]

i hope the new fighter plays good he looks funny

They're more publicyed due the huge hype. BTW, the next loke will be in a couple of weeks (no details announced).

[ElderGOD]

Anyone know when previous SF games were released what the location test sites were?

Maybe they repeat.

I saw some HD vid and it looked a lot better than the stuff I have seen so far so I would love to see the game in person.

Don't know if it was linked here or not.

Don't remember original link but this guy has vid and it's also in HD.
Not sure if lowered quality but much higher quality then the vids I saw linked at SRK.

On the SF4 dev blog they stated that they were going to announce the next location test date, but because they're facing a "critical turning point", and they are really in the final push of the development of the game, so they're asking fans to wait just a little bit for a future announcement. In the mean time they got Daigo Ikeno to provide some sketches of C. Viper and her attacks, and they into detail about how she performs her moves. She's got jet boosters in her boots and her metal knucks emit electricity and all that.

The attack in the sketch is called the "Capital Punishment Combo", but how they're going to put it into the game, they don't know, but they were able to create such moves for SF4.

Damn, that looks painful. They should make THAT into her Ultra when the game's released.

How would it work? When she activates, she flashes and they get scared expecting a high/mid attack. But she slides underneath their legs (has to be blocked low), they turn around going "WTF?," and then it starts.

info confirmed

new loc test this weekend in osaka

el fuerte playable

[Reno]

oh FUCK it's on! I'm there!

[Azrael]

This weekend. THIS WEEKEND?!

Well gentlemen, see you there.

[AdverseSolutions]

dude, kunai's gotta defend the title!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Azrael]

Will our ID cards from before work? Fuck, I'm pumped now. I just hope someone can get video this time. The comp was way too good last time, and it'd be great if people over the net could see what we saw.

[BadMojo]

Looking forward to more impressions from you guys.

I don't suppose you could bug the Capcom reps there for some hints regarding more characters appearing in the game? Be it new or returning ones.

[Reno]

yeah the cards are good even when the final version comes out, they stated so when the cards were first issued. For this loketest it seems that only Ryu and Ken cards are available, but the downloadable wallpaper is Honda lol.

KUNAI WHERE ARE YOU. COME ON DUDE COME DOWN!

BadMojo: Even if there were reps there, I doubt they would even say anything to us.

[Azrael]

Well, I'm gonna wear my SF t-shirt this time around. Some dude wearing a shoryuken t-shirt seems to have impressed the blog girl, and if she is who I think she is, she's pretty damn cute, so I figure eh, what the heck.

I'll try to go Friday night after work and Saturday morning/afternoon again.

[AdverseSolutions]

sonic spin dash

VLI trademark

[Reno]

Azrael: cool. I'll join you on Friday night cuz all I was gonna do was go to the gym lol. I'll go on Sat afternoon cuz some friends from work wanna go too. Dunno about Sunday... if Kunai goes I'll go all three days lol.

[Azrael]

Addy: Oh yeah. Although, I'm not sure - I think the blog girl might be the one who gave me back my ID card when I forgot it. Either way, they're both worthy and deserving of sonic spin dashes.

Reno: Cool, I should get there around 6:30 if I can get out of work on time *crosses fingers*. I'd love to go Sunday too, but I dunno if the missus will approve.

[Kunai]

After work, I will catch the first train down to Osaka. I'll have to figure out a place to stay... maybe capsule inn again. :P

But yeah man, I'm there.

And PLEASE hook me up with some hot Capcom girls *LOL*

[EDIT] I will test out several things during this upcoming loketest, and I will try to sneak in some video if possible. If you have anything legitimate that you want me to try, that I am skilled enough to do, I will do my best to try it out for you.

The things I will try out during the loketest:
[List will continually update]

Tons of El Fuerte play, dashed in with more C.Viper play
Will research properties of Saving Attacks with different characters (to see if there are any differences in hi-mid-low ranges)
Will confirm to see if fully-charged Saving Attack is ALWAYS unblockable
Will try to see if you can still do Saving Attack Stun -> Saving Attack Dash Cancel -> Ultra
Will try to utilize Negative Edge more (both the "piano method" and holding button then releasing)
