What made this game really special and stand out to me was because of the solid core gameplay and the passion and effort the fgc put into it (they really showed what sf4 was capable of/had to offer). Watching all those sf4 tournaments and high quality/level matches from top players from all over the world was a real treat as a fan of competitive fighting games.

I lost interest in SF5 a week or two after buying the game, went right back to SF4.

@Akumaa2000 3 года назад

Good point on the art style. Usually, games with distinct art styles like this do last the test of time.

Wind waker is another example that game will never be outdated due to it's unique art style.

My memories from arcades and SNES seem not so great anymore.. whenever I remember the SF4 online ranked grind, the endless lobbies with my online buddies, watching every night YogaFlames24 channel with replays from the best online players, practicing my plinking on Sakuras tatsu loops or my unblockable set ups and last but not least.. EVO tournament was hella hype, daigo, infiltration, mago, tokido, fuudo, haitani, uryo, poongko, gamerbee, PR balrog, Bonchan.. its been 10 years and I still remember everything like it was yesterday.. SF5.. I really tried, gave it plenty of chances, season 1, season 2 but game felt like snoozefest and very dumbed-down for my taste..

Far from odd, it was for the fans. 3 was not ported until early 2000s outside some DC releases. Which was a low selling console. EX was quite different and the old developers shooting for a 3d version and played much different. Alphas probably most popular but the Marvel games did the best.

It was pretty cool when I lived in Los Angeles in 2011 and one day thought 'are there any arcades around here?' - I used google maps and found one on Vermont called 'Family Arcade', and cycled there. Along with tons of retro games, they had SFIV and there was a big following. I got to verse a lot of people who were very skilled. Also at the time, there was 'Tokyo Arcade' in Little Tokyo, LA. I remember challenging a few people and beating them there. Yes, SFIV brought back the fans to the point that I could go somewhere and challenge them in person.

SF4 series was greatness. Not just the game itself, but the tournaments and highlights and RU-vid channels and shows that came along with it. SFV has become okay over the years but the hype isn't at SF4 levels.

@helloman3676 4 года назад

Because SF4 is gimmicky and flashy, whereas SF5 is solid and fundamentals. People like flashy stuff but as a game SF5 is the most balance fighting game ever made. Like 3rd strike, it has some of the greatest highlights of all time but compared to SFIV, it falls short of balance and solid fundamentals. Same thing can be said about 4 and 5. SFV looks boring but it will be better for the long terms of SF Franchise. Just look at how many young new champions we have been getting. Punk, Fujimura ect. But the greatest thing about SFV is the returning of old legends. Sako, Haitani, Ricky Ortiz, Tokido ect. All the pros agreed on one thing, SFV is what a street fighter game should be. Simple, Barebones with a little flash.

Battle Fantasia is one of the big reasons we have SFIV's "3D" look. Yoshinori Ono was inspired by how the game was made even though it was 2.5D. The dynamic camera in Battle Fantasia also had more of an influence than the EX series, which is why the camera zooms in for supers and ultras, and not just throws. SFIV is still a fun game.

Excellent coverage of "The SFIV saga". I totally understand there is a ton to cover, due to the variations in gameplay, structure, and design. IV to me definitely brought back that energy the series was missing. After Third Strike, it felt like an honest finality, similar to Garou Mark of the Wolves. In a sense Capcom & SNK still inspire one another. Even though both of their titles were a send off. Not knowing if there would be any more. I do love the IV saga. However I miss the ability to access unlockable art, cinematics, and music. Which is what the original IV contained. It was weird how all of that was gone after each iteration. It is a neat concept giving us fans more access to the game. Exploring the journey, it's growth, and evolution. I cannot wait to see what you cover next.

@rooneye 4 года назад

Man this game just came at the perfect time and re-ignited everything! A really important historical game. An actual genuine game changer. Loved this game to death when it came out, the only thing I found shit about it was the music lol the new music sucked IMO specially (at the time, but now it's nostaligic so I love it! :D) the "Indestructible" k-pop main theme song. It was so bad lol that they got rid of it after a while. Ohh and also Seth was such a shit underwhelming character for a boss. Apart from that everything was awesome. Then Madcatz came along and gave us the TE stick. Perfect arcade parts at home for pretty much the first time that you could just buy out of a shop.

@andrealves3104 2 года назад

Feel exactly the same about SFIV iterations. I kinda have a grudge with its completely gimmicky OST, finding the OG remixed tracks being way too generic (altough I can totally see they were going for a retro comeback/tribute way of thinking). However, I believe this is my only complaint about this game (I can even tolerate Seth as the final Boss, LOL). Everything else about this game was just tuned to perfection, and the wait was totally worth it. My overall feeling with this game is that of being thankful to it. It was such a breeze to have a competitive action packed vibrant fighting game in an era where games got used to be plain and repetitive, both on gameplay and on aesthetics design.

I remember playing Street Fighter IV at a friend's. It was an okay experience, but annoying for me personally just because like in Street Fighter III, I fared way better with Ryu than with Ken (and Ken has been my mainstay since Super Street Fighter II on the Super Nintendo). I have the 3DS & mobile ports, and while I don't play them as much, I definitely enjoy them when I do. Hopefully you'll cover those two when you dive into the home versions of SF4.

Don't let anyone give you crap about using a SFV image of Chun-li in your SFIV thumbnail ..... definitely a beautiful thumbnail regardless ❤️

@@nateword nah your wrong too man. It is pronounced more like: RyOO . ROO with a barely pronounced Y after the R. Wierd tongue flicking motion that is a Japanese thing in their language I guess.

Capcom should use SF4 engine and develop (CvS2) using capcom characters only. Capcom Fighting Circuit, by bringing Darkstalkers series / CPS1 series characters.

Only thing I hate about SF4 and SFV is that Sean isn't a playable character in each game. Capcom just ruined him as a character instead...

@janraymondjulian1273 4 года назад

I played 2 in the arcades got an Xbox360 just for Street fighter 4. Street Fighter 2 ,4 and 5 that's the best.Although Street fighter 2 champion edition will always be the greatest and the best.

As great as this new game was, the new characters were so lame. No wonder barely any of them made a return in SFV.

@dante7457 4 года назад

There are 8 different street fighter 4 versions: vanilla, super, super arcade edition, super 3D edition, ultra, vanilla mobile, volt, and champion edition. Correct me if I’m wrong

@emanatingf 4 года назад

@Dante You're point is very correct. It's VERY Overwhelming to get into and understand. However the Super & Super Arcade are the same Iteration. The name follows, edition & I don't believe.. a Champion one exists. They all have the same Core gameplay, Feel & fighting Seth as the end Boss Correct my incomplete know-how if I fell short. I gave it a try! :) Super SfighterIV would be my recommendation; for a *middle* ground.

@dante7457 4 года назад

Emanating Faucet there was a champion edition but it doesn’t really have the same gameplay. It’s a mobile version that uses pixelated sprite versions of the sfiv fighter models. And you can consider arcade ed to be it’s own iteration because it brought along some new characters just like ultra.

What i think about the reason on why SFV feels eh Is because to me it doesn't seem like it got as much blood and sweat as SFIV since they knew it would sell because it's street fighter and it's the modern day The first time i played it just felt really eh and didn't pull me in like SFIV did SFIV was my first ever street fighter game AND the first time i learned about tournament level play It also holds some of my most favorite music tracks I was NINE when i my uncle let us have some games for our 360 and we got this gem I remember losing to Gouken and because of that i didn't unlock him I also didn't have access to Internet back then so i had no idea how to unlock characters other than to play He was the only one i needed to unlock and it still haunts me till this day This game just holds a special place in my heart Made me love the fighting game genre Too bad im not good at them

@MichaelHarto 4 года назад

i totally missed SF IV era since i was so busy working. The last SF i played was SF 2 Turbo. SF V which looks like an improved SF IV really tickled my interest to get back into SF series recently, I even bought a fight stick to try to start playing it seriously.
