Dudley is Very interesting and so far my only problem is his voice...It should be a little deeper, but i'm fine with it unless they decide to make it more funny.
Why couldn't they bring Q back in some kind of downloadable content cause he would be an interesting addition to the game. At this point they are trying to bring characters in that would fit in the time period, but the could have Q just not have a story and just be playable...
Whats the betting capcom decide to make a third incarnation of street fighter 4?

@669 I don't think there would(atleast not in a years time) but considering all the titles of SFII who knows. They just might. If they did they better be adding a crap load more stuff. Even More then just what SSFIV is gonna be.
If Capcom really loves us they will implement an option to turn off the announcers voice only, and keep all the other voices on. amirite?

hi... am new in this forum so..i have a problem...i cant win the storied reputation achivemente. I've played in normal mode in 1 or 3 rounds with 60 secs, i heard i must win until agains seth..so i must lose with seth and the last fighter get win to him? sorry if is a confusion..thx a lot
hmm, i think to get storied reputation, you have to beat arcade mode on medium(or higher difficulty) with every single character. I dunno what u mean with seth, but you have to beat him with everyone.

I think SF4 is a game where you have to dedicate yourself to to get good. I let my friend borrow my copy and 3 weeks later when i played it again i lost my timing for all of combos with abel. You don't need over complicated motions or fancy air combos, you need timing. Simple, yet hard. I think thats why im a fan ;P

Hey guys. Some of you know this but, DarksydePhil, a pro SF player, had a Youtube channel filled with a ton of game relayed stuff (playthroughs, SF online matches, etc.) and he's really funny. Unfortunately, it was just taken down because of "BS" copy right claims, and I'm upset because I'm a big fan of his. So now he's going to be opening up two new channels, one for game playthroughs and another for Street Fighter relayed stuff. He wants the word spread out, and seeing has this is a SF related site, I want to let you guys know about his new channel, DSPStreetFighter. It'll have a bunch of Super SF4 game footage when it comes out and other Street Fighter related stuff, so if you've never heard of him and/or want to check out good SF gameplay, look him up. Peace.

DarkBurial I agree, Hugo would have been AWESOME. Studley Dudley, I agree, Dudley's voice lacks testosterone. But there will always be characters we wish we had, or minor tweaks here and there. Other than that though, I CANT WAIT to get this tomorrow. I'm really exited about it!
Goin to get it today!! Even if this game was a full price game I still would buy it hands down.

So I've been playing SFIV since launch, dabbled in 3rd strike a bit as well, but definitely no pro... and I just found out about OPTION SELECTS as playing strategies... how the hell did I miss this?!! Anyway, not sure if this is the place to post suggestions but please add an area for this strategy, which apparently all the pros know about... please think about the noobs.

The 3 characters I would have loved to see Dudley, Hugo, and Haggar. One out of three aint bad. Plus Hakan seems like a really cool alternative to Haggar anyway. Can't wait to pick this up. I agree w' 32, it would have been worth full price! Prepare to run into me on ps3 with a pretty decent Dudley!

Put in a couple hours on SSF4 yesterday. GREAT GAME. Definately would have been worth 60 bucks but thanks Capcom for the low price! I like just about every tweak they made to this new version! They even took out things that were annoying/unnecessary like the pop song at the beginning,time attack and survival challenges (which i never cared about), but kept and enhanced the trial challange (the only one I thought was worth playing anyway) so it's got cool techno music during the trials and aslo a better menu display. Everything down to the title menu's and character select screens look way cooler, loading times (on ps3...with game installed) are ridiculously fast compared to 4's. As is the online play. It all runs much smoother. Haven't had a single game where the connection wasn't good so far. Not a hint of slowdown or connection breaks. This title has my vote for game of the year 2010.

Ok, here's what I think about the new guys. So far, I'm liking them, no one seems overpowered, nor do I think any of them are terrible. However, I do have some issues with them. Don't get me wrong, Guy and Juri are really good I think. Guy I think is the best out of them all, he's fast and a really good mix up game, and Juri is really balance (she can be played offensively and defensively). But the other 8 have issues;
Cody has a good offensive game, but doesn't have a good reversal. Adon barely has any good combos. Hakan is only good when he's oiled up. Dee Jay has good combos, but can barely combo into his ultras. T.Hawk looks like he'll have really bad match ups. Ibuki has a high learning curve. Makoto plays like Allen Iverson. And Dudley needs to be in-your-face to any real damage.
Any other thoughts anyone?

@ 41 Where to start...I don't have extensive experience with any newcomer other than Guy but what I've seen suggests that T.Hawk, Cody, and Dudley will be formidable. Guy and Ibuki have potential but come with high learning curves. I have no idea what your Makoto/Iverson analogy is referring to and I'm from the Philadelphia area. (All or nothing?)
Anyone else HATE Juri? Her attacks are so high priority, quick, and damaging. Juri is the New Sagat, but faster and more annoying...oh, and uglier too.
@Patrick, high priority? you can grab her out of her pin wheel and ex pinwheel. and her dive kick move is extremely punishable. she is no where near to the next sagat. i main ibuki now, and i think dee jay is becoming a pain in the ass to me.

Yeah, I've given it some practice and I agree with you guys. It just took me a while to realize that I need to block/punish her moves and now she's not nearly as frustrating to play against. On another note...do any of you miss having the option to fight unranked matches online? I do, It's nice sometimes to practice some of the fun characters without having to take a loss when you lose. Having it all ranked keeps me from doing that. I always just play as my main so I can have a fighting chance everytime. I wish they would bring back that option in a patch.

@Patrick - I think you answered your own question. You shouldn't be allowed to raise your rank pounding on noobs, it defeats the purpose. Practice with other characters in endless mode, that's what it's there for.
Thanks Existent. That's kind of what I figured. Oh well. Its not a big deal. I've actually been playing around with a few other characters other than my main today and doing pretty well online.
eventhubs im a ssf4 player who is loving this and striving 2 get better i main ryu rufus bison but play all characters if anyone owns a 360 and wanna play a decent player let me know
im a little upset with this game. cant watch the story unless your doin the story mode, theres no survival or time mode (which helped me stay playin the game) but they kept trial (which is lame), and the rival match had the same video which really killed it for me. o and one more thing. it sucks having easy access to unlock colors, especially when the colors to the old cast are the same. without online, this game gets old pretty quick. i really hope they put survival and time mode back in, change the rival videos, and let me work for different colors one the next one. dont forget about karin this time either.
i hate all shoto user's online i hope they all F$%^& die....it's so f%^&ing easy to use ryu ken ect ...i know because ken was my main for many years...i have been trying to master makoto for some time and i have lost so fu$%^ing much to these cheap SOB's everything is a combo with this characters ever wake up and dragon punch has frame advantage...i can't stand these characters.....this has led me to break my SSF4 disc and my 140 arcade sticks which now in reflection i regret doing..... so either i have PTSD from my 3 tours to afghanstan or getting beaten by scrubs who use bullsh$#%^ zoning rushdowns is driving me insane
@ xxjcblackheartxx well...from the things you said, it does seems like you have some sort of psychological issue, which may make you a danger to yourself, or others. 3 tours to Afghanistan? I can't even begin to imagine what that's like. But regardless, I can only hope, that you seek help for your mental health issues.
However, you may also simply be a liar. 140 arcade sticks... Impossible? no. improbable? definitely. Maybe the whole Afghanistan thing is true... Then again, Maybe I'm Benjamin Franklin. Or am I Ziggy Stardust?
Either way, I feel pity for you.

To Oculus_Orbus...He probably meant $140 arcade stick instead of what he actually typed. And ptsd is a very real thing, so if he has it, give the guy a break.
To xxjcblackheartxx: Sorry to hear that you broke your disc and controller(s). We've all had losing streaks and been angry at the game before, you aren't alone. Hang in there, and if you ever do get into SSF4 again, give Blanka a try. He's got a thousand and one way's to punish shotos. Sometimes just switching characters can get you out of the rut. Oh, Bison can give the shoto's hell too. Anyway, good luck.

I wish you could start a game lobby that lets you restrict the use of certain characters. Could you imagine how fun this game would be on line if you didn't have to fight an endless stream of Ryu/ken/akumas? Imagine actually learning one of the other 32 characters. Go out on a limb (no pun intended) and learn Dhalsim. He's fun to use once in a while. you'll probably lose 15 matches in a row to ryu/ken/akuma, but at least you're playing a different character. It's worst for average players like me. Once you start getting really good, everyone's fun to use, and ryu/ken/akuma is just boring.

Jungle Man...I'm pretty sure a cheap win is when you score the final attack with chip damage. As in, the apponent is knocked down with almost an empty health bar and you toss a fireball their way as they're getting up.
Mad Catz tournment additional stick win i bought it was 139.99 at gamestop.... i have since brought a new game and stick much to mydismay.....maybe you could call it a tantrum but frustration levels also coupled with jack led to bad decsions....ptsd does f#$%king suck shooting people in teh face kinda sticks with you for a little while anyway i have given up on makoto and i am trying to make cody my main...which is going a little better than makoto also it would be nice to not fight 29 ryu's in a row....i mean i have pretty much mastered ken...i have been playing street figher since i was very young and even then shoto characters were so easy to master....not to say that all players who use them are bad or good player's daigo uses ryu....but to advance as a better player i figure i would try a harder character to master...i guess this is a true test to see how good you are at the game...ohh well...anyway sorry for the rant...anyone who plays cody wanna give me tips i play on PS3 name is my user name

@65 If you want to consistently play skilled players it would be best to add a few as friends that don't mind playing 10 or more matches in a sitting with you.Find someone unequivocally better than you and play them until you're forced to become better.

DanielQ94, Personally I never pick girls in video games, so I don't like any girl characters other than maybe chun li since she's been around for so long, i can live with her. But to each his own. I know alot of players like the girls in fighting game. But i'm just throwing in my two cents bc you asked. But who I wuold like to see is Hugo, Birdie, and maybe another boxer (i know we already got 2 but we have 3 wrestlers, Oh, Haggar would be interesting. He could be Cody's new rival since cody used to date his daughter and now Cody's a bad guy.
Personally, I really wouldn't mind the girl characters if they didn't dress like they work at a brothel. Why can't they dress with some self respect? It actually really annoys me. Makoto is the only one that seems to have even a shred of decency.

Many of the male characters in this game have costumes blatantly designed more to show off their extremely (over)developed bodies than to be believable. You think karate gis are worn like that in real life? Is it common in the US Air Force to wear a vest with nothing under it? M. Bison's alt 1 just "coincidentally" got damaged in such a way that it exposes most of his chest, huh? Or what about Fei Long's booty shorts (which come in tighty whitey and pink variations, FYI)? And Abel's alt 1 is so incredibly exploitative that it literally left me speechless when I first saw it. Yet none of *them* lack self-respect, only a *woman* is a hooker when she dresses for sex appeal. Yeah, sure, that's not sexist at all.
Good point, except for Abel. His alt costume is a wrestling singlet, I used to wrestle and that is exactly what I used to wear, just a different color. Cammytoe, on the other hand, has no excuse.

I'm surprised to hear the comments about the girls looking slutty. I thought SSF4 was actually fairly tame compared to other fighters out there. Makoto, Chun Li, Sakura, and Rose don't strike me as brothel girls at all.
Maybe I'm biased because I'm a Chunner, but this definitely is a far cry from Dead or Alive.
True, the other fighting games make ssf4 girls look like nuns.

True and true, though I can't help but feel almost offended in a comical way. I main with Ryu, but mainly because I prefer balanced characters. I don't think it should be a crime to use shoto characters, but to hit a different side of the spectrum, I use Cammy quite often as well. I'm a BIG fan of her CQC Ultra, it is just a shame that it is practically impossible to hit the AI opponents with it because the moment I activate it, even if they are in mid-swing, they will stop and either projectile spam me or just throw me. Then there is Sagat... I like Sagat's reach. Not referring to projectiles, I mean his punches and kicks. It really pays off being like nine feet tall. :D

I don't think Cammy looks slutty either. I mean just her ass is showing a little bit, but come on, that's pg-rated material. Girls on the beach show off a lot more than that.
Hey if anybody is up for some extraordinarily mediocre SSF4 feel free to add me on psn. ExclusiveOrGate. Just say eventhubs or something in the message so I know where you got it. Be prepared to win.
Dhalsim player here and im SICK of fighting nothing but shoto characters online ... i can beat them more often than not but thats not the point. I have not seen a single Hakan, Gen or Makoto player online yet and its actualy quite upsetting. Its making me want to play as them just to let people know they exist .....
If it makes you feel better, I play with Hakan and Gen.
When I play endless battle I try to avoid playing the same character twice in a row, so I rotate through everybody except for Ken and Ryu, I never play them lol. I do use Gouken on occasion though. Add me on PSN if you ever need more people to play with. Same ID as my eventhubs name.
If I feel like winning though I will play Blanka and/or El Fuerte, not that I will win, but at least I have a fighting chance with Blanka.

@ DuckWithAGun
Hakan is, even said by the top players, bad. Really bad. If you haven't seen the clip. Makoto is way to technical and may (or is?) quite stale compared to the rest of the cast, at first glance. And Gen being ridiculously complicated to play. yeah yeah, "he's not that difficult", can already feel the hate from that line. But really, compared to the rest you have to agree?
Anyway, I'd like to see a decrease of Blanka roll wh**es, Dhalsim pokers and Juri players who thinks that her Dive Kick is a invincible "way to win" move...
I'm suprised by the giant lack of Sagat and Cody players. Or did people stop play Sagat because he "isn't" god tier anymore? Pathetic? Little? In my eyes Cody is a terrific character, popular by many for his attitude and is insanely easy to combo with, also having tons of varieties for them.
Me? I'm like ExclusiveOrGate, I play just about every character, except Ryu or Ken, especially Ryu.

I hate ryu personally i would like them to make just 1 sf game without him or ken. It must be so boring playing as ryu and playing against ryu or ken almost every match. I play nearly every character as well, i just think it's a waste of money to buy a game and just keep being ryu or ken all the time. Perhaps it's because their simple characters to play decently, oh well...

Wow it doesn't matter which character is said to be good or not it is always up to the player how good or bad a character is.
And Ryu is the most played character out there...Ken has declined...I see more Blanka's and other characters then Ken online or in tournaments.
I have a cool story. One time I lost a ranked match (I know it's hard to believe) and it was being recorded. Immediately I thought "there goes my reputation, I'll never be respected again". Then I realized that nobody watches the recorded matches because you can't even select a specific character you want to watch, only a group of characters. True story, crazy!!!
Random advice that there doesn't seem to be a more appropriate place for: if you haven't yet, especially if you have trouble doing bread and butter combos (but it can help anyone), do the combo trials. For every character, not just your mains or the ones you want the titles/icons for. You might think it's just a troublesome waste of time, but it really will make you a better player, and I'm not even talking about using the combos for real (although some of them are actually practical, or close enough to adapt). Just reaching that level of execution *once* improves your game, and can almost magically make you capable of things you weren't before. And don't be afraid to go to another character's trials if you get stuck, because skills you practice/learn in one set of trials can frequently be applied to other sets.
A word of warning though, while all of the trials are possible, there's no guarantee that you can do them the way the instructions say they should be done. Consult a guide if something seems impossible for reasons beyond just strict timing, it may require a more creative approach.
I totally agree with CONSTvariable23- I have found just playing with all the characters has really helped my execution. I haven't done all the combo's (its around 88% at the moment, 15 fin.) but I keep going back through and finishing off where I was stuck before, and its great when you manage one you tried for ages.
And also @#90 If you do wanna look at specific replays there is a "New Replays" channel. I also shows you the grades of the characters involved and the view win/loss status is optional.
wow this game is fvkn garbage u need to hav no life to be actually good at it so sad

Lol at #94; All GOOD games are hard and require skill to play. I bet everyone else on this forum agrees with me.
#97; Yer they probably will put it on PC, though I'm not sure. They are not a company to miss an oppertunity to make some more money. Super hyper elite street fighter turbo max platinum... Capcom we love you. Lol.
People seem to think juri players only spam dive kick and pinwheels, I find her stored fireballs much more useful, for keep-aways and combo. I only use dive kicks when I'm trying to get in on someone spamming fireballs and/or backing away, and I use EX pinwheels for wake-up.

characters i want to see as dlc on super street fighter 4 is evil ryu, yun, hugo, birdy, alex, ingrid, and a separate character of rufus but the way he was suppose to look like on the character art of vanilla street fighter 4
Has anyone unlocked the street fighter. com icon in ssf4 who can tell me how to get it? It's 1 of my last 2 (other one it the 30 cheap wins one). I've beaten arcade with all characters on hardest (including alternate and vanilla rivals for those who have 2), and finished all combo challenges with all characters... Does any1 know the requirement to get it?
ok really need advice i am tempted to buy a stick and would like to know the best ones for a small budget so nothing over £60 i need something comfortable and reliable so any advice would be helpful.
Drippy nozzle: unlock every other icon i think, so u have to get the other one that u are missing (30 cheap wins online). Ive unlocked it, it was the same with me except i was missing a different one (win by judgement). after i got that one, i unlocked street fighter. com as well
Thanks alot! I will get on it... Got all titles now too except merciless... 16 more chip wins to go and i'll hopefully have 100%.

this is not really a helpfull chart, i reflects well, bison, vega or gief who dont "combo" that much, now take ryu or chun-li for exemple, their light punch doesn't cause 30 damage, it opens the way for an ultra, now replace the moves damage with the guaranteed damage it opens the way for and you'll have a much more intresting chart where ryu is not abysmal but holds a place closer to his own.
even then it would not reflect how godlike it is to have your opponent having to guess whether you laucnh a meaty lariat, or a meaty undodgable command SPD, that is just an example among a lot of others. this game is deeper thean just comparing strengh of a few moves.

I would love if you could pick both ultras in this game it would make it better FOR ME.... Ultra 1 + Ultra 2 in 1 fight = more fun!
I hope CAPCOM thinks about it

NO!! Some characters have ultras that would be too all-embracing if they were put together!
True, it would be cool to have both ultras at the same time - you could sometimes see moves like Ryu's ultra2 that nobody uses in a competitive play - but the game would have to be designed for that from the beginning.

@the_frog_splash_lives
I recently bought Madcatz TE stick for $90 and I love it! (I broke couple of fightpads earlier and got pretty pissed off). The TE (Tournament Edition) uses original sanwa parts (that are used in SF arcade cabinets), so it should be very durable. You gotta wait for a deal though... cause normally TE costs around $140!
There are cheaper sticks too. There is a MadcatzSE edition and Haori - they shouldn't cost more than $50-70. I also heard of Peawang Evolution that supposedly works on PS3/XBOX360 and PC and costs about the same. I don't know how good they are though...
Did you check the section on sticks here at eventhubs? You should find good info there! Cheers!!

ssf4 is a great game. It has the good stuff from sf4 + improvements. The only thing i think is wrong with ssf4 is that you cant hit them after KO, lol. it was fun pounding some opponents after KO..
Also, is there an option to put on handicap settings in endless? it seems like you cant...
@ chickenwings u are a smart man... that would make this game so much better in many ways as long as they varied the amount of guard meter the characters had, kinda like stamina variations. I cant believe i havent heard someone say that yet. Regardless this game is still amazing just a guard meter would do wonders for this game.

mmm maybe not a great idea a guard meter, can you imagine rufus and hes dive kick?? or cammy??, maybe guard meter but this game seriously need to dont have those safe moves like
I use a stick, personally. I got one recently and have grown so used to it that it feels weird to play any game moving around with the 360 controller's joystick. And well, the 360 controller has a garbage d-pad. I feel quite comfortable using the PS2/3 d-pad for Soul Calibur and the like.
Incidentally, I love Galaga. Wahahahaha.

@Meety If you're at the stage where you honestly believe in what you call "spamming" then you need to learn how projectiles operate in the game. A challenging player will use whatever works, if you can't get around fireballs they won't handicap themselves for you.

@ Odin grabs are set up by being close actually. Take Abel for example his rolls may not cross up but it does confuses to place him right in your face at all times for a grab. Zangief cross up command grab is only for mix ups similiar to Able u can walk up and do 360's with him for a grab. To set it up is to hide it anyway you can by dashing in empty jumps and so on it all on your for every character...even tick throws i.e cr.lp into normal grab can be switched with cr.lp into Able TT ya get it?

I hope Alex gets in this game, just think of the the mix up pontential, it would be similar to abels, although i don't main abel i like his stratergies, it was his look and personality that put me off so i didnt really use him much. I'd imagine Alex would have to lose atleast 1 special move like spiral d.d.t because that was barely useful and he'd have to move a little like abel (movement speed) and have good pokes, I don't really mind if he doesn't have much combos as he's most likey going to do a good amount of damage just from his specials and normals ..... anywho this is just what i hope from Alex if he is put in the ssf4 cast

@165 Yun and Yang lacking pages makes SOME sense for now, since they're not available anywhere besides testing areas (or so it seems)
but i want that re-vamped page for the other characters that have been around for a while. idk why they even started with Adon, nothing against him, i like him and use him as an alternate to my main... but it would be nice to see that re-vamped Vega (my main) page lol. of course certain characters should have had them too (although idk if they actually do have it yet), like ryu, ken, chun li, etc.
but to be honest, the entire sf4 could and should be redone for ssf4, in that "re-vamped" way, IMO.

Existent is right #154, using the term spam as an excuse for your inability to deal with a players repeat usage of a particular move or technique clearly means that you lack/undestand key elements of the game.
Each character has strengths, these stregths must be used so you can attain victory, Sagat wasn't given a fireball so you can stand there and Jab on the spot all day. He has the fastest fireball in the game, its supposed to be used to overwhelm your opponent, to trap them in the position you want, whilst his fireball is faster than others, his weakness lies in the fact that he is quite a large character and when performing a fireball a large portion of his body (his arms) are exposed, making it easy to hit him from a distance if you successfully jump the fireball.
If you lose to the repeat use of a move or technique, study it's properties, understand its priorities and then find moves with your character that can be used to counter/defeat your opponents moves, this is a fundamental of any good fighting game.
If you're playing a shooter and you repeatedly get shot in the head and killed, you don't say " he's spamming me with head shots" because your opponent is doing what is required (and expected) to defeat you and is doing it in an effective and efficient way that requires skill, the same rule applies in a fighting game.
You may argue that performing a fireball does not require much skill, and this would be correct, knowing when to alternate the speed of the fireball, judging the perfect range at which you should be when throwing the fireball and simply knowing when NOT to use a fireball does however require skill and knowledge. So chances are if you are defeated by someone "spamming" fireballs they are doing all of the above to keep you at bay.......or it simply could be that you are crap
I love how people underestimate Zangief's and yet do not have the slightest clue how to use him to his highest potential.

Good lord this game is difficult. It seems like people do this for a living because I keep getting my ass handed to me. I simply don't understand how to do stuff like cancelling, or how to use the dash or focus attack. Is there a SSF4 for retards somewhere where I can try to get some of this stuff?
Try doing the challenge trials with all the characters to help you with learning the moves, and train yourself not to mash. Also watch the streetfighter tutorial on vesperarcade's youtube channel- it explains how to use complicated features in the game such as focus attacks, dashing and cancelling.

Fireballs should be useless just like in the perfect game that is SF3. Don't dare speak against SF3 because it's better in every way than every game because it's so 1337. SF4 is mainstream corporate garbage that everyone likes so I automatically hate it. Capcom used to be cool and only make 2D (i.e. SUPERIOR) games just like SF3 when they were just a small company of 5 people.
What? Capcom was a large company when SF3 was released? I didn't hear that and you can't make me. Everything was better before now and nothing will ever change the fact that video games are abominations now and everybody thinks so. What? HOW many people bought Street Fighter 4? They don't count.
ANYWAY as I was saying, everybody obviously agrees with me (not that I can find any examples right now), so stop being horrible Capcom and put a REAL fan in charge as CEO. I know exactly what to do: Re-release SF3. What? They're already doing that? HOW DARE THEY RUIN THAT GAME WITH THEIR FILTHY--

???? @ Shareware
Why would you want fireballs to be useless, this isn't Tekken or Soul Calibur, or Dead or Alive, since the dawn of Streetfighter fireballs have been a primary part of the games mechanics and players tactics, if you want to profess that you think Capcom was 'cool' when they only made 2d games why don't you refer to the original games that started it all.......like SF 2 World Warrior and Turbo and Super and Super Turbo, these were the classics, these were the games that started a generation of fighters.
So if you want to get real technical, SF 4 and SSF 4 are the closest the game has been to its original roots in a long time, i'm not knocking SF 3, but it was a different game, it played much differently.
Certainly there are people who jump on the band wagon and 'like' SF 4 just because everyone else does, which is crap, but as someone who has played the series since World Warrior,(which i suspect you never have)i am of the opinion that SF 4 has been Capcoms best release since Turbo(highly regarded as the best fighting game of the period and one of the best fighting games of all time.
So i'm pretty sure any other player out there who has played the series from its dawn would agree with me.
I've followed the series through all its changes from Alpha to EX (the rather crappy 3d version)to 3rd strike and enjoyed all of the games, but somewhere along that journey Capcom lost sight of the ball and streetfighter lost its essence, but it has been re-born and brought back with it that 'classic' feel and a dash of new age completing the package.
So before you disregard a fundamental feature of the game that has played a major role since its creation i recommend you consider how you view the game, because clearly you don't seem to have an understanding of what made the game what it is today......... but i'm just old school so don't take offence to this.
any advice for elf ? tried the character boards but can't post for some reason . am b ranked but have hit a plateau so am looking for any advice / mentoring. much appreciated if any of you guys can help.

I'll let you in on this one:
My entire post was sarcastic. I was poking fun at 3rd Strike elitists with a rather LARGE dose of cheekiness. Don't worry, I'm not insane. In fact, I think a lot like you do, and have been playing just as long. Hell, call me crazy, but I even found the EX series somewhat TOLERABLE.

#166
ahhh i do apologise, it can be somewhat hard to spot sarcasm in text form.
I get quite wroked up over the whole fireball thing! ever since Alpha i was mortified at how useless fireballs became, being hit by a fireball had the same value as blocking one in the past games, coupled with the fact that you could air block them aswell it made fireballs nothing more than a defensive keep away tool, to me it changed the game too much, people could jump around like monkeys without a worry in the world and if heaven forbid they landed on a fireball and didn't happen to air block, the damage was so ridiculously minimal they didn't care. There was a very satisfying factor to tricking your opponent into landing on a fireball through varying speeds and what not, for a long time it has been absent from the series, so i'm happy fireballs have atleast regained some of there usefullness again. i again apologise for mistaking you for an emo deusch bag with no understanding of the game hahahah

Here's an idea for DLC to SSFIV:
Each console stores the number times you've played against an online opponent. Then, on the screen that says, "Which of these two will walk away a champion," it could display how many times you've defeated and lost to the online opponent. Good idea?

That is a pretty cool idea. Set up mind games before the match even begins. "He beat me 7 times? I'M A WORTHLESS PIECE OF **** AND NO ONE LIKES ME!!!!" then BAM... cancer.
Got AE yesterday, gotta say I'm pretty disappointed. Basically in online you end up playing only Yun and Fei players, who I can now officially say are OP. The lower tiered characters I play with (Vega and Juri) didn't really get much out of the balancing and Surprise surprise, get rammed pretty by the S tier guys. Vanilla was great, Super was ok, AE is not so good.

@ yun1989 #187 Do they really need to release AE on the 3DS? There's always Super Street Fighters IV. Infact,if AE was coming up,they might as well release that one INSTEAD of Super Street Fighter IV. That and personally. That game make Charge characters cheap. All I see is Guiles,Blankas,And E-Hondas.

I think SF4 is a game where you have to dedicate yourself to to get good. I let my friend borrow my copy and 3 weeks later when i played it again i lost my timing for all of combos with abel. You don't need over complicated motions or fancy air combos, you need timing. Simple, yet hard. I think thats why im a fan ;P

Hey guys. Some of you know this but, DarksydePhil, a pro SF player, had a Youtube channel filled with a ton of game relayed stuff (playthroughs, SF online matches, etc.) and he's really funny. Unfortunately, it was just taken down because of "BS" copy right claims, and I'm upset because I'm a big fan of his. So now he's going to be opening up two new channels, one for game playthroughs and another for Street Fighter relayed stuff. He wants the word spread out, and seeing has this is a SF related site, I want to let you guys know about his new channel, DSPStreetFighter. It'll have a bunch of Super SF4 game footage when it comes out and other Street Fighter related stuff, so if you've never heard of him and/or want to check out good SF gameplay, look him up. Peace.

Posted by guarddt on April 27, 2010 at 9:01 a.m. #33
So I've been playing SFIV since launch, dabbled in 3rd strike a bit as well, but definitely no pro... and I just found out about OPTION SELECTS as playing strategies... how the hell did I miss this?!! Anyway, not sure if this is the place to post suggestions but please add an area for this strategy, which apparently all the pros know about... please think about the noobs.

The 3 characters I would have loved to see Dudley, Hugo, and Haggar. One out of three aint bad. Plus Hakan seems like a really cool alternative to Haggar anyway. Can't wait to pick this up. I agree w' 32, it would have been worth full price! Prepare to run into me on ps3 with a pretty decent Dudley!

Put in a couple hours on SSF4 yesterday. GREAT GAME. Definately would have been worth 60 bucks but thanks Capcom for the low price! I like just about every tweak they made to this new version! They even took out things that were annoying/unnecessary like the pop song at the beginning,time attack and survival challenges (which i never cared about), but kept and enhanced the trial challange (the only one I thought was worth playing anyway) so it's got cool techno music during the trials and aslo a better menu display. Everything down to the title menu's and character select screens look way cooler, loading times (on ps3...with game installed) are ridiculously fast compared to 4's. As is the online play. It all runs much smoother. Haven't had a single game where the connection wasn't good so far. Not a hint of slowdown or connection breaks. This title has my vote for game of the year 2010.

Ok, here's what I think about the new guys. So far, I'm liking them, no one seems overpowered, nor do I think any of them are terrible. However, I do have some issues with them. Don't get me wrong, Guy and Juri are really good I think. Guy I think is the best out of them all, he's fast and a really good mix up game, and Juri is really balance (she can be played offensively and defensively). But the other 8 have issues;
Cody has a good offensive game, but doesn't have a good reversal.
Adon barely has any good combos.
Hakan is only good when he's oiled up.
Dee Jay has good combos, but can barely combo into his ultras.
T.Hawk looks like he'll have really bad match ups.
Ibuki has a high learning curve.
Makoto plays like Allen Iverson.
And Dudley needs to be in-your-face to any real damage.
Any other thoughts anyone?
Posted by Existent on May 2, 2010 at 4:57 p.m. #42
@ 41 Where to start...I don't have extensive experience with any newcomer other than Guy but what I've seen suggests that T.Hawk, Cody, and Dudley will be formidable. Guy and Ibuki have potential but come with high learning curves. I have no idea what your Makoto/Iverson analogy is referring to and I'm from the Philadelphia area.
(All or nothing?)

Posted by Ssaico on May 4, 2010 at 12:10 p.m. #46
@Patrick, high priority? you can grab her out of her pin wheel and ex pinwheel. and her dive kick move is extremely punishable. she is no where near to the next sagat. i main ibuki now, and i think dee jay is becoming a pain in the ass to me.
Posted by Danielq94 on May 5, 2010 at 12:11 p.m. #47
Juri's good but she's no sagat
- her defense is lower
- her fireball is crapper
- Pinwheel is ultra punishable
- feng shui engine is only good if u know what youre doing with it
- Oh and i hate her voice
Posted by Patrick on May 6, 2010 at 11:06 a.m. #48
Yeah, I've given it some practice and I agree with you guys. It just took me a while to realize that I need to block/punish her moves and now she's not nearly as frustrating to play against. On another note...do any of you miss having the option to fight unranked matches online? I do, It's nice sometimes to practice some of the fun characters without having to take a loss when you lose. Having it all ranked keeps me from doing that. I always just play as my main so I can have a fighting chance everytime. I wish they would bring back that option in a patch.

Posted by Deeweromekoms on May 7, 2010 at 5:05 a.m. #50
@Patrick - I think you answered your own question. You shouldn't be allowed to raise your rank pounding on noobs, it defeats the purpose. Practice with other characters in endless mode, that's what it's there for.
Posted by Patrick on May 7, 2010 at 6:24 a.m. #51
So endless mode doesn't effect player points? I haven't tried it yet. It that's the case than great!

@52 All wins and losses are counted as player data however there is a separate log for ranked match records.
Posted by Patrick on May 7, 2010 at 6:16 p.m. #54
Thanks Existent. That's kind of what I figured. Oh well. Its not a big deal. I've actually been playing around with a few other characters other than my main today and doing pretty well online.

im a little upset with this game. cant watch the story unless your doin the story mode, theres no survival or time mode (which helped me stay playin the game) but they kept trial (which is lame), and the rival match had the same video which really killed it for me. o and one more thing. it sucks having easy access to unlock colors, especially when the colors to the old cast are the same. without online, this game gets old pretty quick. i really hope they put survival and time mode back in, change the rival videos, and let me work for different colors one the next one. dont forget about karin this time either.

so either i have PTSD from my 3 tours to afghanstan or getting beaten by scrubs who use bullsh$#%^ zoning rushdowns is driving me insane
Posted by Oculus_Orbis on May 13, 2010 at 2:04 a.m. #59
@ xxjcblackheartxx
well...from the things you said, it does seems like you have some sort of psychological issue, which may make you a danger to yourself, or others. 3 tours to Afghanistan? I can't even begin to imagine what that's like. But regardless, I can only hope, that you seek help for your mental health issues.
However, you may also simply be a liar.
140 arcade sticks...
Impossible? no.
improbable? definitely.
Maybe the whole Afghanistan thing is true...
Then again, Maybe I'm Benjamin Franklin.
Or am I Ziggy Stardust?
Either way, I feel pity for you.
Posted by Patrick on May 13, 2010 at 7:18 a.m. #60
To Oculus_Orbus...He probably meant $140 arcade stick instead of what he actually typed. And ptsd is a very real thing, so if he has it, give the guy a break.
To xxjcblackheartxx: Sorry to hear that you broke your disc and controller(s). We've all had losing streaks and been angry at the game before, you aren't alone. Hang in there, and if you ever do get into SSF4 again, give Blanka a try. He's got a thousand and one way's to punish shotos. Sometimes just switching characters can get you out of the rut. Oh, Bison can give the shoto's hell too. Anyway, good luck.
Posted by Danielq94 on May 13, 2010 at 1:54 p.m. #61
@ xxcjcblackheartxx how can you get that angry at a fighting game? so u got beat a few times, was it worth trashing your disc and arcade stick, perhaps u should try get better with makoto, switch back to ken or try a new character and stop throwing tantrums just because u lost
Posted by JungleMan on May 13, 2010 at 2:44 p.m. #62
I wish you could start a game lobby that lets you restrict the use of certain characters. Could you imagine how fun this game would be on line if you didn't have to fight an endless stream of Ryu/ken/akumas? Imagine actually learning one of the other 32 characters. Go out on a limb (no pun intended) and learn Dhalsim. He's fun to use once in a while. you'll probably lose 15 matches in a row to ryu/ken/akuma, but at least you're playing a different character. It's worst for average players like me. Once you start getting really good, everyone's fun to use, and ryu/ken/akuma is just boring.

what is a "cheap win" on the player data of SSFiv?
Posted by Patrick on May 13, 2010 at 6:46 p.m. #64
Jungle Man...I'm pretty sure a cheap win is when you score the final attack with chip damage. As in, the apponent is knocked down with almost an empty health bar and you toss a fireball their way as they're getting up.

@65 If you want to consistently play skilled players it would be best to add a few as friends that don't mind playing 10 or more matches in a sitting with you.Find someone unequivocally better than you and play them until you're forced to become better.

DanielQ94, Personally I never pick girls in video games, so I don't like any girl characters other than maybe chun li since she's been around for so long, i can live with her. But to each his own. I know alot of players like the girls in fighting game. But i'm just throwing in my two cents bc you asked. But who I wuold like to see is Hugo, Birdie, and maybe another boxer (i know we already got 2 but we have 3 wrestlers, Oh, Haggar would be interesting. He could be Cody's new rival since cody used to date his daughter and now Cody's a bad guy.
Posted by ExclusiveOrGate on May 25, 2010 at 2:41 p.m. #73
@72 (Patrick)
Personally, I really wouldn't mind the girl characters if they didn't dress like they work at a brothel. Why can't they dress with some self respect? It actually really annoys me. Makoto is the only one that seems to have even a shred of decency.
Posted by Patrick on May 26, 2010 at 8:57 a.m. #74
exclusiveorGate, I agree 100 percent.
Posted by CONSTvariable23 on May 26, 2010 at 12:42 p.m. #75
Many of the male characters in this game have costumes blatantly designed more to show off their extremely (over)developed bodies than to be believable. You think karate gis are worn like that in real life? Is it common in the US Air Force to wear a vest with nothing under it? M. Bison's alt 1 just "coincidentally" got damaged in such a way that it exposes most of his chest, huh? Or what about Fei Long's booty shorts (which come in tighty whitey and pink variations, FYI)? And Abel's alt 1 is so incredibly exploitative that it literally left me speechless when I first saw it. Yet none of *them* lack self-respect, only a *woman* is a hooker when she dresses for sex appeal. Yeah, sure, that's not sexist at all.
Posted by ExclusiveOrGate on May 26, 2010 at 5:56 p.m. #76
@ CONSTvariable23
Good point, except for Abel. His alt costume is a wrestling singlet, I used to wrestle and that is exactly what I used to wear, just a different color. Cammytoe, on the other hand, has no excuse.
Posted by chirpie on May 27, 2010 at 7:59 a.m. #77
I'm surprised to hear the comments about the girls looking slutty. I thought SSF4 was actually fairly tame compared to other fighters out there. Makoto, Chun Li, Sakura, and Rose don't strike me as brothel girls at all.
Maybe I'm biased because I'm a Chunner, but this definitely is a far cry from Dead or Alive.
Posted by ExclusiveOrGate on May 27, 2010 at 8:38 a.m. #78
True, the other fighting games make ssf4 girls look like nuns.
Posted by ChiroMagi on May 27, 2010 at 4:02 p.m. #79
True and true, though I can't help but feel almost offended in a comical way. I main with Ryu, but mainly because I prefer balanced characters. I don't think it should be a crime to use shoto characters, but to hit a different side of the spectrum, I use Cammy quite often as well. I'm a BIG fan of her CQC Ultra, it is just a shame that it is practically impossible to hit the AI opponents with it because the moment I activate it, even if they are in mid-swing, they will stop and either projectile spam me or just throw me. Then there is Sagat... I like Sagat's reach. Not referring to projectiles, I mean his punches and kicks. It really pays off being like nine feet tall. :D
Posted by TragicHero on May 28, 2010 at 7:18 p.m. #80
I don't think Cammy looks slutty either. I mean just her ass is showing a little bit, but come on, that's pg-rated material. Girls on the beach show off a lot more than that.

Dhalsim player here and im SICK of fighting nothing but shoto characters online ... i can beat them more often than not but thats not the point. I have not seen a single Hakan, Gen or Makoto player online yet and its actualy quite upsetting. Its making me want to play as them just to let people know they exist .....
Posted by ExclusiveOrGate on June 4, 2010 at 10:42 a.m. #86
@ DuckWithAGun
If it makes you feel better, I play with Hakan and Gen.
When I play endless battle I try to avoid playing the same character twice in a row, so I rotate through everybody except for Ken and Ryu, I never play them lol. I do use Gouken on occasion though. Add me on PSN if you ever need more people to play with. Same ID as my eventhubs name.
If I feel like winning though I will play Blanka and/or El Fuerte, not that I will win, but at least I have a fighting chance with Blanka.
Posted by Troppop on June 4, 2010 at 12:57 p.m. #87
@ DuckWithAGun
Hakan is, even said by the top players, bad. Really bad.
If you haven't seen the clip.
Makoto is way to technical and may (or is?) quite stale compared to the rest of the cast, at first glance.
And Gen being ridiculously complicated to play.
yeah yeah, "he's not that difficult", can already feel the hate from that line. But really, compared to the rest you have to agree?
Anyway, I'd like to see a decrease of Blanka roll wh**es, Dhalsim pokers and Juri players who thinks that her Dive Kick is a invincible "way to win" move...
I'm suprised by the giant lack of Sagat and Cody players.
Or did people stop play Sagat because he "isn't" god tier anymore? Pathetic? Little?
In my eyes Cody is a terrific character, popular by many for his attitude and is insanely easy to combo with, also having tons of varieties for them.
Me? I'm like ExclusiveOrGate, I play just about every character, except Ryu or Ken, especially Ryu.
Posted by Danielq94 on June 5, 2010 at 7:19 a.m. #88
I hate ryu personally i would like them to make just 1 sf game without him or ken. It must be so boring playing as ryu and playing against ryu or ken almost every match. I play nearly every character as well, i just think it's a waste of money to buy a game and just keep being ryu or ken all the time. Perhaps it's because their simple characters to play decently, oh well...
Posted by Hitstick on June 6, 2010 at 3:33 p.m. #89
Wow it doesn't matter which character is said to be good or not it is always up to the player how good or bad a character is.
And Ryu is the most played character out there...Ken has declined...I see more Blanka's and other characters then Ken online or in tournaments.
Posted by ExclusiveOrGate on June 6, 2010 at 11:03 p.m. #90
I have a cool story. One time I lost a ranked match (I know it's hard to believe) and it was being recorded. Immediately I thought "there goes my reputation, I'll never be respected again". Then I realized that nobody watches the recorded matches because you can't even select a specific character you want to watch, only a group of characters. True story, crazy!!!

Posted by CONSTvariable23 on June 7, 2010 at 7:34 p.m. #92
Random advice that there doesn't seem to be a more appropriate place for: if you haven't yet, especially if you have trouble doing bread and butter combos (but it can help anyone), do the combo trials. For every character, not just your mains or the ones you want the titles/icons for. You might think it's just a troublesome waste of time, but it really will make you a better player, and I'm not even talking about using the combos for real (although some of them are actually practical, or close enough to adapt). Just reaching that level of execution *once* improves your game, and can almost magically make you capable of things you weren't before. And don't be afraid to go to another character's trials if you get stuck, because skills you practice/learn in one set of trials can frequently be applied to other sets.
A word of warning though, while all of the trials are possible, there's no guarantee that you can do them the way the instructions say they should be done. Consult a guide if something seems impossible for reasons beyond just strict timing, it may require a more creative approach.
Posted by Drippy_Nozzle on June 8, 2010 at 12:52 a.m. #93
I totally agree with CONSTvariable23-
I have found just playing with all the characters has really helped my execution. I haven't done all the combo's (its around 88% at the moment, 15 fin.) but I keep going back through and finishing off where I was stuck before, and its great when you manage one you tried for ages.
And also @#90
If you do wanna look at specific replays there is a "New Replays" channel. I also shows you the grades of the characters involved and the view win/loss status is optional.

People seem to think juri players only spam dive kick and pinwheels, I find her stored fireballs much more useful, for keep-aways and combo. I only use dive kicks when I'm trying to get in on someone spamming fireballs and/or backing away, and I use EX pinwheels for wake-up.

this is not really a helpfull chart, i reflects well, bison, vega or gief who dont "combo" that much, now take ryu or chun-li for exemple, their light punch doesn't cause 30 damage, it opens the way for an ultra, now replace the moves damage with the guaranteed damage it opens the way for and you'll have a much more intresting chart where ryu is not abysmal but holds a place closer to his own.
even then it would not reflect how godlike it is to have your opponent having to guess whether you laucnh a meaty lariat, or a meaty undodgable command SPD, that is just an example among a lot of others. this game is deeper thean just comparing strengh of a few moves.

I would love if you could pick both ultras in this game it would make it better FOR ME....
Ultra 1 + Ultra 2 in 1 fight = more fun!
I hope CAPCOM thinks about it

NO!! Some characters have ultras that would be too all-embracing if they were put together!
True, it would be cool to have both ultras at the same time - you could sometimes see moves like Ryu's ultra2 that nobody uses in a competitive play - but the game would have to be designed for that from the beginning.

@the_frog_splash_lives
I recently bought Madcatz TE stick for $90 and I love it! (I broke couple of fightpads earlier and got pretty pissed off). The TE (Tournament Edition) uses original sanwa parts (that are used in SF arcade cabinets), so it should be very durable. You gotta wait for a deal though... cause normally TE costs around $140!
There are cheaper sticks too. There is a MadcatzSE edition and Haori - they shouldn't cost more than $50-70. I also heard of Peawang Evolution that supposedly works on PS3/XBOX360 and PC and costs about the same. I don't know how good they are though...
Did you check the section on sticks here at eventhubs? You should find good info there! Cheers!!

Also, is there an option to put on handicap settings in endless? it seems like you cant...

Posted by canabalistic999 on August 15, 2010 at 9:50 p.m. #125
@ chickenwings u are a smart man... that would make this game so much better in many ways as long as they varied the amount of guard meter the characters had, kinda like stamina variations. I cant believe i havent heard someone say that yet. Regardless this game is still amazing just a guard meter would do wonders for this game.

@Meety If you're at the stage where you honestly believe in what you call "spamming" then you need to learn how projectiles operate in the game. A challenging player will use whatever works, if you can't get around fireballs they won't handicap themselves for you.

@ Odin grabs are set up by being close actually. Take Abel for example his rolls may not cross up but it does confuses to place him right in your face at all times for a grab. Zangief cross up command grab is only for mix ups similiar to Able u can walk up and do 360's with him for a grab. To set it up is to hide it anyway you can by dashing in empty jumps and so on it all on your for every character...even tick throws i.e cr.lp into normal grab can be switched with cr.lp into Able TT ya get it?

And lord only knows when Yun and Yang will get pages.
Posted by GUNNAH_MAN on September 22, 2010 at 9:38 a.m. #145
I hope Alex gets in this game, just think of the the mix up pontential, it would be similar to abels, although i don't main abel i like his stratergies, it was his look and personality that put me off so i didnt really use him much. I'd imagine Alex would have to lose atleast 1 special move like spiral d.d.t because that was barely useful and he'd have to move a little like abel (movement speed) and have good pokes, I don't really mind if he doesn't have much combos as he's most likey going to do a good amount of damage just from his specials and normals ..... anywho this is just what i hope from Alex if he is put in the ssf4 cast

@165
Yun and Yang lacking pages makes SOME sense for now, since they're not available anywhere besides testing areas (or so it seems)
but i want that re-vamped page for the other characters that have been around for a while. idk why they even started with Adon, nothing against him, i like him and use him as an alternate to my main... but it would be nice to see that re-vamped Vega (my main) page lol. of course certain characters should have had them too (although idk if they actually do have it yet), like ryu, ken, chun li, etc.
but to be honest, the entire sf4 could and should be redone for ssf4, in that "re-vamped" way, IMO.

Existent is right #154, using the term spam as an excuse for your inability to deal with a players repeat usage of a particular move or technique clearly means that you lack/undestand key elements of the game.
Each character has strengths, these stregths must be used so you can attain victory, Sagat wasn't given a fireball so you can stand there and Jab on the spot all day. He has the fastest fireball in the game, its supposed to be used to overwhelm your opponent, to trap them in the position you want, whilst his fireball is faster than others, his weakness lies in the fact that he is quite a large character and when performing a fireball a large portion of his body (his arms) are exposed, making it easy to hit him from a distance if you successfully jump the fireball.
If you lose to the repeat use of a move or technique, study it's properties, understand its priorities and then find moves with your character that can be used to counter/defeat your opponents moves, this is a fundamental of any good fighting game.
If you're playing a shooter and you repeatedly get shot in the head and killed, you don't say " he's spamming me with head shots" because your opponent is doing what is required (and expected) to defeat you and is doing it in an effective and efficient way that requires skill, the same rule applies in a fighting game.
You may argue that performing a fireball does not require much skill, and this would be correct, knowing when to alternate the speed of the fireball, judging the perfect range at which you should be when throwing the fireball and simply knowing when NOT to use a fireball does however require skill and knowledge. So chances are if you are defeated by someone "spamming" fireballs they are doing all of the above to keep you at bay.......or it simply could be that you are crap

Try doing the challenge trials with all the characters to help you with learning the moves, and train yourself not to mash. Also watch the streetfighter tutorial on vesperarcade's youtube channel- it explains how to use complicated features in the game such as focus attacks, dashing and cancelling.

Fireballs should be useless just like in the perfect game that is SF3. Don't dare speak against SF3 because it's better in every way than every game because it's so 1337. SF4 is mainstream corporate garbage that everyone likes so I automatically hate it. Capcom used to be cool and only make 2D (i.e. SUPERIOR) games just like SF3 when they were just a small company of 5 people.
What? Capcom was a large company when SF3 was released? I didn't hear that and you can't make me. Everything was better before now and nothing will ever change the fact that video games are abominations now and everybody thinks so. What? HOW many people bought Street Fighter 4? They don't count.
ANYWAY as I was saying, everybody obviously agrees with me (not that I can find any examples right now), so stop being horrible Capcom and put a REAL fan in charge as CEO. I know exactly what to do: Re-release SF3. What? They're already doing that? HOW DARE THEY RUIN THAT GAME WITH THEIR FILTHY--
Posted by Ghost83 on November 30, 2010 at 4:03 p.m. #163
???? @ Shareware
Why would you want fireballs to be useless, this isn't Tekken or Soul Calibur, or Dead or Alive, since the dawn of Streetfighter fireballs have been a primary part of the games mechanics and players tactics, if you want to profess that you think Capcom was 'cool' when they only made 2d games why don't you refer to the original games that started it all.......like SF 2 World Warrior and Turbo and Super and Super Turbo, these were the classics, these were the games that started a generation of fighters.
So if you want to get real technical, SF 4 and SSF 4 are the closest the game has been to its original roots in a long time, i'm not knocking SF 3, but it was a different game, it played much differently.
Certainly there are people who jump on the band wagon and 'like' SF 4 just because everyone else does, which is crap, but as someone who has played the series since World Warrior,(which i suspect you never have)i am of the opinion that SF 4 has been Capcoms best release since Turbo(highly regarded as the best fighting game of the period and one of the best fighting games of all time.
So i'm pretty sure any other player out there who has played the series from its dawn would agree with me.
I've followed the series through all its changes from Alpha to EX (the rather crappy 3d version)to 3rd strike and enjoyed all of the games, but somewhere along that journey Capcom lost sight of the ball and streetfighter lost its essence, but it has been re-born and brought back with it that 'classic' feel and a dash of new age completing the package.
So before you disregard a fundamental feature of the game that has played a major role since its creation i recommend you consider how you view the game, because clearly you don't seem to have an understanding of what made the game what it is today......... but i'm just old school so don't take offence to this.

@190
I'll let you in on this one:
My entire post was sarcastic. I was poking fun at 3rd Strike elitists with a rather LARGE dose of cheekiness. Don't worry, I'm not insane. In fact, I think a lot like you do, and have been playing just as long. Hell, call me crazy, but I even found the EX series somewhat TOLERABLE.
Posted by Ghost83 on December 6, 2010 at 6:47 p.m. #166
ahhh i do apologise, it can be somewhat hard to spot sarcasm in text form.
I get quite wroked up over the whole fireball thing! ever since Alpha i was mortified at how useless fireballs became, being hit by a fireball had the same value as blocking one in the past games, coupled with the fact that you could air block them aswell it made fireballs nothing more than a defensive keep away tool, to me it changed the game too much, people could jump around like monkeys without a worry in the world and if heaven forbid they landed on a fireball and didn't happen to air block, the damage was so ridiculously minimal they didn't care.
There was a very satisfying factor to tricking your opponent into landing on a fireball through varying speeds and what not, for a long time it has been absent from the series, so i'm happy fireballs have atleast regained some of there usefullness again.
i again apologise for mistaking you for an emo deusch bag with no understanding of the game hahahah

Each console stores the number times you've played against an online opponent. Then, on the screen that says, "Which of these two will walk away a champion," it could display how many times you've defeated and lost to the online opponent. Good idea?

Got AE yesterday, gotta say I'm pretty disappointed. Basically in online you end up playing only Yun and Fei players, who I can now officially say are OP. The lower tiered characters I play with (Vega and Juri) didn't really get much out of the balancing and Surprise surprise, get rammed pretty by the S tier guys. Vanilla was great, Super was ok, AE is not so good.

@Dark_Fantom #214, dude what are you talking about? I get rammed by a lot of other characters! :) no seriously, characters of all kinds are all over the place, AE is wonderful. You should go to challenge mode and execute all the combos from there, you should get better after finishing those.
