Other inclusions of note are online training rooms and team battle mode. Additionally, you can absorb more attacks, giving characters a defensive boost. Red focus cancels moves that you normally could not, creating more aggressive playstyles. The most interesting of the mechanic additions is the implementation of red focus – a souped up version of a regular focus attack. A much-needed delayed standing mechanic gives you the option of changing the timing of your standing animation, reducing the effectiveness of opponents that lock you into an annoying vortex. With both unlocked, character versatility increases. In previous editions, you were forced to choose only one, limiting your options and perhaps telegraphing your strategy. You are now able to use both of your Ultra Combos during a match (albeit with a damage decrease). Overall, the new characters fit right in with the existing ones.Ĭharacter imports aside, Street Fighter veterans will welcome the significant changes made to the mechanics and balancing of the engine. Thankfully, the similarities are only skin-deep, since Decapre’s charge move gameplay is vastly different than her counterpart’s directional motions. The only newcomer to the series is Decapre, who (according to Street Fighter lore) is literally a clone of another character: Cammy. Their character models and movesets are virtually identical to their SFxT counterparts, but their gameplay has been changed to match the slower paced SFIV. More recently, all of these fighters were in Capcom’s Street Fighter X Tekken series. Four of these “new” characters are familiar faces in the Capcom universe Hugo, Rolento, and Poison first made appearances in the Final Fight series, while Elena’s first time on the scene was back in Street Fighter III. Ultra Street Fighter IV is the latest iteration in this incremental approach.įive new characters join the roster, bringing the total fighter count up to 44. Rather than re-inventing the engine, Capcom has released several updates containing new characters, modes, and balance tweaks to keep SFIV fresh. How does a series stay on top for so long? By keeping itself relevant. Several other competitors have followed in its wake, but few are able to match the popularity Street Fighter IV. 9.Five years ago, Capcom’s Street Fighter IV single-handedly revitalized the fighting genre it helped create. All I gotta say is: It's Street Fighter who wouldn't like one game (Except the SFEX series and the game based on the *beep* 1994 movie). Anyways SFIV brings the series to its roots and brings pros and casual players to play together. You might want to change the language to Japanese. Well he's the boss, and bosses are usually cheap. Yeah he's easy in the first round, but when it comes to the second round he will get your handed to you.
The removal of parrying from SF3 was a disappointment. The gameplay combined elements of SF2, SFA, & SF3 except introduction to the focus attacks and ultra moves. All original 12 fighters return as well as new ones and from SSF2 and SFA. First off the graphics will just blow your mind. Many hated this when they first saw the gameplay, but in the final product, it was outstanding. However Street Fighter IV is just a prequel to SF2 and SF3 which some fans didn't hope to expect. How long has it been to wait for a Street Fighter sequel? Well we got our prayers answered. The SF series just keeps getting better with age, and this is as close to the perfection of the fantastic 1991 Street Fighter II original. Nevertheless, the game is still a huge winner, and easily a top contender for one of the top games of 2009, proof that when it comes to fighting games, Capcom will never be beaten. Like most fighting games however, it's the arcade mode's final boss that sticks out like a sore thumb as the worst character in the game. 4 new characters are introduced and it's tough to adapt to their command lists and fighting styles at first, but the training and challenge are a huge help in helping the player master characters' abilities. The choice of characters receives a mixed reception from the fans, with huge favourites from the classic series returning, including 14 of the original 16 SFII characters and 5 from the Street Fighter Alpha series. The voice actors are in good form, but it's really the dialogue in cutscenes that are the poor point. Updated takes on the classic character's theme music tracks are also a winner as well as the amazing Japanese dub voices, but unfortunately it's the English dub that once again lets it down. Taking the classic fighting system from the SF series and combining it with crisp, state of the art 3D character designs and 2D/3D backgrounds for fighting designs is probably the main selling point for this game, and the main reason why it's such a fantastic game. The eagerly anticipated Street Fighter IV was finally released, and it was well worth the wait. On February 20th 2009, the wait was over.
