The urge i have to play some SF is killing me but i have to wait to get a ps3 and sell my 360.

 

[imm0rt4l]

No further changes to gouken, I'll probably still play the old man as this will likely be the best version of him yet. Tier list should be condensed a great deal, but I'm interested in other characters as wel. I already play gouken and dudley, will probably mess around with fei, yun, akuma. I like being able to bulldog my opponent, I like walking forward and pressing buttons. Gouken can't do that, and dudley has t-rex arms.

Why not just play it on 360?

Have a stack of PS2 games i still have love for DQ 8, FFX,Persona FES 3, FF12,San Andreas etc. Plus there's no 360 exclusives that draw me in like PS does should have stuck with my roots and went and got the 60gb PS3 when it came out..

Hopefully now i can get one within the 160-200$ price range and sell my 360 and its games.
