Street Fighter IV

Street Fighter IV brings the legendary fighting series back to its roots by taking the beloved fighting moves and techniques of the original Street Fighter II, and infusing them with Capcomís latest advancements in next generation technology to create a truly extraordinary experience that will re-introduce the world to the time-honored art of virtual martial arts

Everything that made the legendary Street Fighter II a hit in the arcades, living rooms and dormitories across the globe has been brought back in Street Fighter IV. Players will be able to play their favorite classic characters, such as Ryu, Ken, Chun-Li and Guile, along with new characters, including Crimson Viper, Abel, El Fuerte, and Rufus. Characters and environments are rendered in stylized 3D, while the game is played in the classic Street Fighter 2D perspective with additional 3D camera flourishes. Six-button controls for the game return, with a host of new special moves and features integrated into the gameplay system. Street Fighter IV brings a brand new fighting game to fans the world over.

While Street Fighter IV features models and backgrounds rendered in 3D, the gameplay remains on a traditional 2D plane. Producer Yoshinori Ono has stated that he wanted to keep the game closer to Street Fighter II. A new system called “Focus Attacks” (“Saving Attack” for the Japanese version) has been introduced, as well as Ultra moves. The traditional six-button control scheme returns, with new features and special moves integrated into the input system, mixing classic gameplay with additional innovations

Player Reviews

got this on the day of the release. I was a huge Street Fighter II fan back on the Super NES. This game is simply superb. The graphics and gameplay are top notch, and offers endless hours of gameplay. I love the online matches; there is no lag!

I would DEFINITELY get an arcade stick. The PS3’s dualshock controller is cumbersome to use (the heavy punch and kick are set to R2 and R3). I just ordered a Hori Real Arcade Pro stick; it has a Sanwa stick. I also ordered Sanwa buttons separately and will replace the Hori buttons. Get a good stick ASAP; they are selling out quickly.

I have both system and i bought both versions of streetfighter 4, but first i have to say i bought both systems because i love video games and i try not to sound or be bias in anyway for the videogame community.Ok let’s start.. the first thing i noticed between the PS3 and the 360 is the PS3 loading time in between fights is about 10 to 11 seconds(I based the loading time on counting the blinking “Player 2″ sign on the upper right corner) it maybe sounding nit picking but 10 to 11 seconds for a fighting game(especially streetfighter) is kind of long(i didn’t say “way” long). im not a fanboy and im trying to be unbias as possible. i am just trying to inform the game community about the differences between the PS3 and the 360 streetfighter 4 versions. 360 loading time (in comparison to the PS3) is about half the time 5 to 6 seconds faster. good luck gamers i hope my review helps others (and like me who has both systems).

In my opinion, this is not only the best Street Fighter game but it is perhaps the best Capcom fighting game ever made and that is saying a lot because Capcom has probably made more fighting games than any other video game company (SNK is an exception). I think that this game is better than Street Fighter 2 because it improves on it in every way. It has 3D backgrounds and characters and 2D gameplay. You even have lots of spoken character diologue which is missing from any other street fighter game that I’ve ever played. I like the addition of EX Special moves which are actually pretty easy to pull off. Super combos are nothing new but the Ultra combos look very cool and powerful; this is one of the greatest new features that the game offers. The many different game modes are interesting, especially the versus mode. Versus Mode is a one player friendly mode because you don’t need two people to play the mode. You can actually pick who you want to fight against at any time just like in Soul Calibur 4 versus mode. This is great for when you get tired of playing the arcade mode, don’t have anybody to play with, or simply don’t want to play it because of the final boss Seth. He can become a major headache and he is very cheap but still an interesting boss. He actually gets a lot harder if you manage to beat him in a round. In the next round after you beat him he has a whole new more powerful moves list so anybody playing against him better be careful. The Trial mode can also be hard because many of the moves that you have to do are hard to pull off with the standard controller. Custom configuration is a great thing that was added to this game and it makes some moves easier to do. Street Fighter 3, Street Fighter Alpha games, Marvel vs. Capcom games and Capcom vs. SNK games have nothing on SF4 either. This is defenantly one of the best fighting games of the current consoles

the game looks great the charaters are all georgous the facial expression they make when the other fighter does a super combo is classic. online and battle points really make you want to step your skills up and be the best. the story lines could have been a bit better but its got such solid gameplay i dont think about it much. some people may think the theme song gets annoying but i like it. they say 2d fighting games as a genre was dying people love beat em up fighting games we grew up with these but if your gonna pay 60 bucks for a fighting game it needs to be of this caliber. i actually got that same warm fuzzy feeling i got while playing street fighter 2 if you dont have this game yet you need to get it its an addictive awsome game.
