Also, any major differences between the Hori Fighting Commander 4 and the official Street fighter v fight pad? I know they look very similar, but I love the white and black Ryu one they have at Game. 

In SFIV, my mains were Fei Long, Guile, Blanka, Cammy, Chun Li, E. Honda, Elena, and Poison.

Right now, I think it's going to be Cammy, Nash, and Chun Li.

I have the Street Fighter Fight Pad for Xbox 360 and I thought it was excellent.  The Hori pad has a lot more options and is supposed to be much more precise and comfortable according to reviews It has diagonal sensitivity, a rotating d-pad, you can swap your bumpers, or L3/R3, and it's supposed to feel really solid.

Haven't fired it up yet. Can't actually play it until tomorrow. I just got home from work and bedtime is in one hour!

Wow I'm having a bad day on it today, started the day with 1040lp now on 888lp with a 5 loss streak. Practicing hasn't helped lol.

Yeah, my day started like that yesterday, but then it got better. I'm struggling against Laura's, Cammy's and Ryu's. Need to really start learning combos. 

I like Nash. Prefer him to to guile as his moves are easier to pull as off as they don't need charging. I'm struggling with his flash kick timing as it has a slight delay. 

I would like to be better with my Cammy. My mate always plays as Ken and he struggles against my Cammy. 

Anyone find any good level transitions? I've come across the bus and wall break in the bustling Street stage.

I think those are the only ones at the moment which really gives us a good perspective how unfinished SFV is currently.

Yup, you go from one stage having 3 transitions to the rest having non. 

Holy poop, I've lost 6 fights in a row. 5 against Ryu's and one against Bison. I'm getting the shit kicked out of me lol

Ugh, I hate Survival mode. Yesterday, I made it all the way to stage 28 with Chun-Li badly needing health after taking a beating-completely understandable considering where I was, and it screws me over with a low health supplement. I go into stage 28 with about 1/8 of my health bar intact and, against insurmountable odds, I miraculously pull off the W, and keep in mind, stage 26 onwards is when it goes into God Mode AKA Block And Counter Everything Mode on Normal. So then, after dodging a bullet, it screws me over AGAIN by giving me ANOTHER low health bonus for all the sh** I had to deal with and I go into stage 29 with even LESS health than before (about 1/10 of my health meter) and get KOed easily by the CPU. I literally stood no chance.

Such BS. I believe I've EARNED a BIG, if not FULL health bonus for what I had to go through on stage 28. With FM on the line, I should be rewarded for pulling off such astounding upsets especially this late in the game. 30 stages is a betch to go through.
