GameSpot hands on with SF4 and screenshots

When playing the game for the first time, it's easy to draw comparisons between it and the Street Fighter III line of games, and the Street Fighter EX line of games.

The game's pacing seems to resemble a cross between the later EX games and a slightly slower version of the Street Fighter III series (namely the last one, Third Strike), while it also has forward dashes that move a pre-set distance (rather than free-running) and uses counter-able two-button throws using the jab (light punch) and short (light kick) buttons, like Third Strike.
