I'm actually looking forward to this game now after watching the trailer - initially from the screenshot, it looks abit weird but with actual gameplay looks, I'm convinced this is going to be great

Wii classic pad is by far the best for beat em ups when compared to the 360 and ps3 abominations.

I wouldn't say the ps3 pad is not suited to a beat-em up. The 360 yes, but the PS3 pad should hold it's own against the wii classic. Providing that you need not use the analogue triggers, which on SF4 you shouldn't need to.

You shouldn't have to buy a separate controller to the Wii's default one to have a playable game. Same for the 360, to a lesser extent. (It has all the buttons, and the layout, but the d-pad is criminal)

The original snes versus used the shoulder buttons so I'd imagine you might need them on Xbox or PS, you have 3 punch and 3 kick types and only 4 button without the shoulder buttons being used.

So this is what it really plays like:

ryu vs chun li from GDC

ryu vs ken from GDC (round 1)
http://www.gametrailers.com/player/usermovies/179666.html

ryu vs ken from GDC (round 2)
http://www.gametrailers.com/player/usermovies/179671.html

ryu vs ken from GDC (round 3)
http://www.gametrailers.com/player/usermovies/179686.html

Still looks good, but not as impressive as the trailers etc.

Well what do you expect, you're comparing a scripted demonstration designed to show the game at its very best and most dramatic, with a game of two human players who can't play the game very well. It's not going to look quite as impressive.

The characters look a bit overinflated. :eek:

The 4 button dpad is pretty poor.

It's not the end of the world, they're pretty cheap.

I got a PS3 anyway.

Just watched the gameplay trailers, I actually think it looks amazing, even better looking than Tekken 6. The style is there and it's extremely well presented and clean. It's progress in the series while sticking to its roots and remembering why it's the best fighter there is. Not every game series can say that.
