Street Fighter IV VS. Street Fighter Alpha 3

[Steroid]

Street Fighter 4 is better and here's why:

1. Graphics. I'm really impressed by how smooth and fast the game runs. They finally did a polygon streetfighter right. If your experiance with the EX games turned you off, get ready to be turned back on.

2. Online. The online is soooo much fun and the best part is you don't have to go searching for games you can just play the arcade mode and people will challenge you. I feel like I have an arcade machine in my house. I feel bad for the Arcade in chinatown now. Theres no reason for me to go there ever again. Also somthing I was worried about was that the Online would be gimped for PSN (As HD remix was). Awsomely it's smooth as butter. I only got lag once whil playing some dude who was using Wifi from antartica.

3. Balance. I wasn't excited for this game. I thought I was going to get hd-remix and that's it; but HD remix got gimped and all the changes they made just opened the door to more horrible exploits. The server support was horrid and they made cammy look like a drag queen. I can't belive how much better SF4 is then HD remix.

I gotta say SFA 3 was great. Really great. But not better (for the reasons above). As for mid air blocking I'm glad it's out as attacks from the air are harder to defend against and thus should be more of a risk to perform.

And none of the Charecters in SF4 are gimped but yes there are way less cheesebag combos to spam. This is a good thing imo.
