IS STREET FIGHTER 4 THE GOATED STREET FIGHTER GAME?! 

Imagine this gem got rollback…….

09’ers represent. SF4 was the first fighting game that I put serious time into and it’s always going to be a favorite.

One thing I miss from SF4 that the others never did. The "OH SHIT" face the characters make when you do an ultra.

Street fighter 4, marvel 3, tekken tag2, Kof13, & MK9 what a hype time in history

SF4 had the best memories ever. Like He-Poongko. Crazy Snake Eyes clutch Gief.

This is the last sf game that you could confidently ask "oh he got those?"

I miss SF IV. As someone who plays videogames for decades and plays SF since the world warrior in the 90's, to this day at least for me, SF IV is still the goat. I played (and still plays) a lot of fighting games like kof, GG, Tekken, MK, SF, Injustice...but SF IV will probably be the best of them all for me for many years.

Bro SF4 is what got me into viewing FGC content in general. I dont even play the games much. And of course the first show that comes to mind is The Excellent Adventures. 😢 I get flashbacks when I see specific characters. When I saw Gouken I remember the One Button Gouken episode. Time flies so quick man.

4 and 3S securely goat tier. The perfection of 4 was robbed of an optimal arcade scene/age. As much as i love the game, it's missing local, open arcade memories like that of 3S and MvC2. Players today will never know the subtle intricacies of lining up your tokens and counting who got next.

I can’t lie. SF4 aged the best. Going back to SF4 tournament matches are more hype than any other SF game. There is a lot of cope in the replies, but not a single person writing essays about “nostalgia” is naming an SF title that they believe aged the best as far as going back and watching tournament sets. Dialogue can be a two-way street.

Please give this game rollback!

Nothing will ever hit quite like hearing INDESTRUCTIBLE did.

its nice to hear guile say SONIC BOOM for once

sf4 is my personal favorite!

Of course it is. It has the heart of 2, and feels like a modern (for the time) remake. The slightly manga/anime-cartoonish art-style, the warm colours, the beefy announcer. the arcade-like music, and all the Street Fighter and Capcom fighters legacy being revived through it constitute a great Capcom fighting game - and my personal favourite. On the technical side, it has amazing depth, and is open to creativity; while the demanding execution is the ideal seal: if you can do it you can go that much further, if you can't you can still play very effectively in a simpler manner. And all the different playstyles, from neutral and footsies, to all-out aggression, or a solid defensive style; everything can work. Characters played uniquely, and players each had their own style. To me, a remake of IV, with ArcSys-style graphics, refined balance, and some tweaks here and there is a dream game; they could just keep adding characters for decades.

Man, i miss sf4

If you had an Xbox 360 and didn't own sf4 . You missed out 😂

Sf4s aesthetic and street fighter is the best so many hype moments great vibe and music it’s either 4 or third strike

SF4 will always be my personal favorite street fighter - it's where I got to know all my homies and spend way too much time duking it out. Still play this game a lot, just something about it. Just accessible enough that anyone can hop in and have a good time, and just broken enough that the lab monsters can have a field day.

I just love SF4 gameplay. It hasn't been the same ever since.

I still go back to watch all my fav matches to this day. The best, all-time, hands down and forever. The best part is the sheer amount of characters in every Top 8.

The game that revived the FGC. 🐐

Imagine going from SF4 to SF5. Yeag dark times.

I remember watching replays from years ago with Jyobin YOLO'ing Ryu DPs through his matches. It was hilarious XD

The only reason i still watch any sf footage is because I liked sf4 and I’m waiting for a game where combos are actually challenging again and gameplay sometimes showed you something exciting and new.

This is my favorite fighting game ever!

Yes it is, but people insist in d-riding 3S for some reason.

6 is great and 5 was cool by the end but 4 was by far the most hype

SF4 where some of the highest execusion combos exist before the simplify combos era, Mr Wong.

I'VE NEVER SEEN A COMBO THAT INTENSE!

C Viper was so much fun to play back in the day

SF4 is the game that exposed me to fighting games. It's my stomping grounds. I don't play it anymore because without rollback these games simply aren't fun online. SF4 needs it like no other game.

Yay Street Fighter IV content. I hope there is more to come.

SFxTK lets you be so much more creative with combos, and has so many great mechanics. It has the gameplay that SF4 should’ve had. I love SFxTK.

Street Fighter 4 will always be one of my favorite street fighter games I definitely love the newer street fighters, but something about 4 just makes me gravitate to it so much

Sf4 is my all time fav. So much character

to answer your question Justin. YES. I remember watching your tournament runs, but dear to my heart are the times you showed up on Excellent Adventures and smoked everyone with a single button. Me and my friend were just talking about SF4 and you drop this gem.

Oh my god that C Viper, how the fuck does he still have it like THAT

I only have a ps3 so I can play some of the best fighting games, games like kof (97 until 13), street fighter (2, 3 third strike, usf4, alpha 3, alpha 2, explus 1,2 and 3 etc...) But usf4 is my favorite fighting game so far, even without rollback kkkkkk Sorry for my English, I'm not a native speaker

Man, I miss playing this on my Xbox 360 in high school. Between SF4, MvC3, and KOF13 it was such a good time for fighting games.

I still have my copy of OG SF4 to this day.

This was a fantastic video. I really like how Justin will mix it up with different fighting games. Editor, I've been liking some of the slow-mo you're doing especially when Justin dropped the Ryu Ult 😂 Love me some PVP!

Dunno about best but EASILY the fighting game that had the biggest impact on me was SF4. Couple quality of life tweaks and rollback, and this game would stand toe to toe with just about any fighter today. It still feels crazy good to play

indestructable is the best intro song to any street fighter.

When there was a big sale going on for Street Fighter games on steam I managed to buy Ultra Street Fighter 4 for around 4 dollars

some 10 yrs ago in malaysia they did a private tournament and played ultra sf4 in a freakin cinema screen

Great video like always!

damn, the nostalgia really hit when seth said stinkyboob

2:59 that Mario Woohoo is so funny ! and after that Ultra instinct funny

The amount of character variety there was made it one of the best SFs.

WoW! It's been ages sense I've seen Justin in SF4! That's the game where Justin got his rep and money from 😁!

This game is still so incredibly hype to watch. I wasn't tired of watching it even with SF5 around the corner. I hope it makes a comeback in the near future.

SF4 was such a great game. Too bad netcode was bad. But with friends... such a great time !

Sf4 and third strikenare amongst the most hypest and most memorable fighting games

SF4 and 3s will always be my favorite

It's a war crime that Viper, Rufus, and Hakan never returned and all we got from 4 was Juri and Seth.

1:59 the sheer TERROR on Ryu's face is immaculate and something i haven't seen in a long time. God ufs4 was too good

that "on line to ny" sent me BACKKKKKKKK! i love seth in sf4

I remember all the hype when SF4 first came out and all the people on RU-vid that were uploading gameplay videos at the time. It’s cool to see that it still has a pretty big following after all these years

3:03 - he really has Basara's laugh from Samsho III

Good stuff. Need more of this 😊

When Sim still stood like a normal person... Goofy ducks, thou 🤣🤣

I took a break from fighting games since SFV launch up until a couple of months ago. I picked up SF6 and liked it more than I expected to, but I was pining for the old days of SFIV.. To my delight I have managed to find a solid group of people still playing regularly, the game holds up so well and im down the rabbit hole of re watching tournaments and content from the SFIV days. It was truely a golden age!

Justin will never forget that SF4 lesson I got with you showing me the way with Rufus

15:04 i cant be the only one that same exact reaction as justin lmaoooo

Sf4 was the first game I’ve ever played as little kid, still play it to this day 😁

2:59 yahoooo 😂😂😂

I love how it looked, but I never really could get into it.

Can't Lie, this version of the game is up ther with the stars and we saw it evolve into this. that made it satisfing. I love street fighter 6 and dont expect the same game but hopeful we can see this level of blossom and roaster

There's something about the SF4 sfx that just hits the right spot in my brain for some reason

woah you now how to do a combo? that's crazy man

SF4 still the best tournament videos of the FGC on RU-vid, no SF gets Hyper than NLBC Dr smuggles duff city 😂 Santhrax salt and all that good stuff.

Shinjoni the professional masher 😆 love the dude

My favorite channel!

SF4 has so much dynamism in its gameplay. It was just as much fun to watch as it was to play, certainly at tournaments but especially the good ol Excellent Adventures. I feel like theres still a lot of potential in the game that never got truly realized. I wouldnt be opposed to the next SF being a 4 remaster.

10:45 Shoutout to the Guard Crush Special still hitting in 2024 😂😂

That Gief Ultra is godlike xD

Bro. The "Online Tony" took me back.

Do a mini guide for each character ❤❤❤

Seeing those missed Gouken combos broke my heart. Still love this game so damn much.

Damn, you are good at these games!

Ultra Street Fighter IV made me a Street Fighter fan I ended up really loving many of the characters and world, when the SF 30th Anniversary Collection was announced I was excited as it was my chance to play the games I missed out on, really loving Alpha 2 and Third Strike especially. Though if I’m going back to Third Strike today, I’m playing Online Edition on my PS3, and I’m playing Super Turbo via Ultra Street Fighter II on Switch.

I kinda wanna learn and play this game but idk how good the online is SF6 already has one of the best online in any FG and that game *still* gives me problems (matchmaking, random disconnects, constantly giving me the same five ppl from China) so I'm scared how this game would be

I really like the announcer for this game

9:02 Wong is real for this. Saw his man getting washed, and immediately came In and destroyed homeboys laundromat 😂😂😂😂😂😂 spin cycle to victory 😂😂😂... bro is on point when showcasing power 🎉🎉

didnt know wong had the fierce feint fierce with viper

SF4 is like that very simple game but the focus attack mechanics make it so complicated, I'm sure if this game didn't correct the inputs to roll specials it would be one of the most difficult games in history

I'm not even trying to play SF6 until they add Hibiki; it'd be interesting to see them try using Go Hibiki. Nice to see you on my suggestions, man! Still waiting on Ranbat hahaha

11:24 Daaaaamn, that takes me back like a decade, the peak of FGC weeklies IMO. R.I.P. WNF and Big Two 🫡😩

You’re right. It aged great. Visuals, animations, supers. So good

bro you really dont need to zoom in every time justin says something lol

As a 09er sf4 was basically my sf 2.

Shout outs to the Online Tony chant

Where was this recorded? It's the same place from that old chun li rollback parry clip

I went from Alpha 3 on PS1 to SFIV on Xbox 360. It felt amazing to finally get back into SF - I ended up buying every iteration of it. I was utterly hooked on playing it online, even if I was far from being a good player 😅. Towards the end, I was more than happy if I could maintain a 50% win rate..

I wasnt a gamer when SF4 came out. That line up...its so good. I see all my fav SFA3 character in there...I think i want to buy it....

like fine wine

Ya gotta do the Snackish Special

Rolento is so hype, loved him in SF4 and miss him in SF6

Watching J.Wong Rufus is NOSTALGIC
