Housemates just bought it. Played versus for about a half hour and then got bored. Its a shame theres no multiplayer options aside from the standard really.

 

I'll be waiting for Tekken instead

 

It's got online multiplayer - what more do you want? Do you mean the lack of rooms to chat in while waiting for a match like in Tekken 5?

I never played the last tekken, infact I'm way behind with current fighting games but looking at much older games you have so many more multiplayer features such as Survival, time attack, tag etc etc. Its a good enough game for a few games with mates whilst you're having a few beers but I wouldn't go online with it as I'd just get roasted by fanboys who know the combo's off by heart.

Looks like Dhalsim...

played both SF4 and Tekken 6 in the arcades yesterday after not doing so in about 6 months. got my ass kicked in both games, straight sets. fucking otaku!

I have just this to say: Seth (besides being a ripoff of Dio from World Heroes II) is the cheapest boss ever. Try playing that mutherfucker on hardest difficulty and TRY getting one match won.

I had a lot of trouble on medium; I can't imagine trying arcade on hard, or even hardest.

It's almost to the point of controller throwing - damn fool can grab out out of an Ultra combo, and then do his Ultra Combo (which BTW, is hilarious)

Capcom's ball size seems to fluctuate significantly over time

they had HUGE fucking balls with Street Fighter 3 which they just called '3' by not including any characters in it from the previous games besides Ryu. They retracted their balls a tiny bit when they brought in chun li and ken in the later updates.

then Megaman 9 came out and their balls grew as large as the planet earth itself, bringing a new official megaman sequal out with NES graphics, sound and gameplay.

but Street fighter 4 feels like their balls deflated again to a much smaller size they wanted to do something really whitewashed and boring to suck people back into the franchise. and i guess they succeeded?

you are lucky that arcades still exist and competitive gaming you can still see the other person's face. im america everyone just plays games with headsets on in front of their TV screens

every single arcade in a 50 mile radius from where i live has been closed.

STFU, SF IV rocks harder than 3, nay, 2 and it's many variants ever did!

lol no fucking way. IV is boring as fuck. i get so tired of the stupid combo footage. gameplay isn't anywhere close to that of SFII

its

is joyrex claiming SF4 is better than SF2? :omg:

SF3 imo was probably the pinnacle of 2d sprite videogame animation besides maybe Guilty Gear X, that alone makes it a tasty fucking game

Sf4 was like 2 different developers were arguing what type of graphics it was going to have and decided on a horrible mixture of 3d sprites with half-assed unfinished looking outdated circa 2002 graphics cell shading

I'm convinced it's better - I went back to try and play 2 (granted, it was the HD Remix version, but gameplay is intact in that version), and it was just slow, and sort of painful to look at - besides, I've gotten more used to how Ryu controls in SFIV now, and I prefer the contact and 'weight' of the characters in IV. Plus, the Ultra Combos are just fun to pwn someone with when they connect fully.

SF3 did have very nice animation for a sprite-based game, I'll give you that.

there is no denying that Elena from '3' has one of the hottest stand still animations for a videogame character ever.

as well as Oro being massively bad ass

dude you beat me to it, i forgot the name of that character but i was just doing google searches for fatal fury to impress you of my game vernacular!

The pinnacle of street fighter I think is ALPHA 3 but I am having a blast in 4. It's hard to go back at this point really...
