Street Fighter IV

[HAMMER FRENZY]

It was announced.

I don't really know what else to say.

[schild]

Love bubbles, George.

We've been waiting a third of our lives for this. Heh.

Now, who makes the game?

[HAMMER FRENZY]

either Capcom has a new group that will hit this hard, IE the US team. I believe Sirlin could do a fine job, OR Capcom gets Arc to do it, since they are working on the Basara X fighting game, (I wouldn't want this to happen)  Or some other company, like Dimps. ( this wont happen) I really hope Capcom does it, and it is 2d and it is fucking awesome. Who knows, maybe Capcom picked up some people from random Doujin groups and has them working on it. Maybe there is new fighting game talent at Capcom... hhmmmm

[HAMMER FRENZY]

Wow, I heard that Capcom might have some Dimps people on this... WTF... Rumble Fish was kinda muh....

[schild]

You can't trust anyone on this until the embargo completely drops on Friday.

I could say SNK is working on it and no one would have a choice but to Believe.

[Mrbloodworth]

I bet its going to be on the wii.

Didn't Street Fighter stop being relevant years ago?  I mean, isn't this like getting excited for another sequel to Doom?

Uh, what?

Now you've done it....

[Grand Design]

This is almost as good of news as the new Street Fighter Movie.




My sense of good judgment is having sympathy pains.

[Velorath]

Uh, what?

Um, they overdid their 2D formula with the endless revisions of II and III, the Alpha series, Darkstalkers and the Vs. series, and they've been completely unsuccessful at breaking into 3D fighting.  How is the annoucement of SF4 anything to get excited over, when all we have so far is a trailer with no gameplay footage?

[Salamok]

I believe the excitement is derived from the hope that that trailer was mostly game play footage.

You don't play fighting games.

[schild]

Unsuccessful at breaking into 3D fighting? Dunno about that, Powerstone did damn well on the Dreamcast enough to warrant a PSP release.

[Evildrider]

My first job was at an arcade.. during what I consider to be the "peak" of the fighting game era.  Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat, Killer Instinct.  I would seriously stay til like 4-5 in the morning, after closing at 10pm, playing constantly with co-workers.  For free mind you.

Street Fighter is my favorite fighting game of all time.

[Ragnoros]

Street Fighter will never be as fun as Powerstone. There I said it.

[stray]

I don't care if it's 3D (though this is a good time to finally match the 2D artwork, unlike other attempts). Perhaps they'll just make a more robust version of HD Remix?

Or if it is 3D, hopefully they still keep the cameras simple, like VF. Traditional SF mechanics still could work that way.

[Velorath]

Consequently, I was just thinking that I would have been more excited if they had announced a Powerstone sequel.  The Street Fighter EX games sucked compared to virtually every other 3D fighter out there.

Ha first of all a new SF is awesome, SF revitalized a dying arcade scene in its day and set a standard for vs fighting. It was the most important and successful step at actual 1 on 1 vs fighting and every subsequent entry made that interaction that much better. Also saying they killed the formula by making so many SF games is plain ignorant. Play more fighting games. Hyper Fighting, ST and all the Alpha games and SFIII games kept pushing what you could do with 2d fighters and competitive fighting games in general. SO a new SF is an awesome thing, whether it is 2d or 3d or whatever, it should be pretty good. You should be excited cause all SF is simply good game design minus all the game industry BS. No easy mode, no casual friendly crap.

LAST

The EX games didn't suck. You didn't like them but they were by no stretch of the imagination bad fighting games. They were fun, balanced, innovative entries to the SF franchise made by former SF designers to play more like technical SF. If you don't like it. That is cool, but get that bullshit mentality of "If I don't like it, then it must surely suck." crap out of here.

Street Fighter 3: Third Strike is the greatest fighting game of all time. I think it's still pretty relevant.

[Hutch]

If that was in-game footage, I hope my video here at work just couldn't handle it.

All I saw was Ryu and Neo Ken dancing in a puddle of ink. Seriously. If the figures look like that in-game, cool. If there's all that ink flying around, blech. Think up a way to show off your platform that doesn't obscure what's happening.

</if that>

greatest fighting game of all time

Marvel vs Capcom 2

Note the bolded part.  As for that no easy mode, no casual friendly crap, I'm going to have to reevaluate my opinion of you as some hardcore fighter nut, because Street Fighter II, and the X-men vs. Street Fighter/Marvel vs. Capcom stuff in particular are the epitome of easy mode/casual friendly.  Why do you think they were so popular?  8 year olds at fucking Round Table Pizza could get into it easily.  Sure, hardcore players could do all kinds of combos and shit, but Street Fighter's success is largely based on how accessible it is.  Not a bad thing by any stretch of the imagination.

That is cool, but get that bullshit mentality of "If I don't like it, then it must surely suck." crap out of here.

That's the kind of mentality this site is based on.  Regardless, even you know you can't argue that the Street Fighter EX series is anywhere near as well regarded as series like Virtua Fighter, Tekken, or Soul Calibur.  It's an also-ran.  It's a fucking footnote in the history of Street Fighter.  I don't think Street Fighter IV will be a bad game, but we're far from the days where the franchise was the king of the genre.  About 15 years have passed since SFII came out, and it's been about 8 years since the last version of SFIII.  To me, Doom is the perfect example of how making a sequel to a genre defining game years down the road doesn't always turn out well.  All I'm saying is that we have 0 information on how this game will even play, so people might want to just put their cocks back inside their pants before they start masturbating to a trailer that might as well be advertising Street Fighter anime since it doesn't actually tell you shit about the game.
