From what Ive heard, Capcom really dropped the ball with SF4, that it hasn't lived up to expectations of gamers. Maybe the Soul Caliber games have just pushed the ticket too far for Capcom to make a good fighter anymore. Either that or they tried to make SF4 too serious, where it used to be kinda funny.

I don't know where you heard this. You are severely misinformed. Especially in regard to Soul Calibur 4. That Soul Calibur series doesn't touch the top of the genre. Soul Calibur was excellent. Soul Calibur 2 was very good. Soul Calibur 3 was the worst in the series and SC4, while better than 3 is hardly more than above average. I own SC4, after about two weeks. No one of my friends list, myself included was playing the game. It was severely lacking. If there is a Soul Calibur 5, Namco needs to go back to the drawing board. They seemed to have forgotten the magic that made SC1 and SC2 so enjoyable.

Despite all of the complaining about the slighting of Street Fighter 3 and its cast. Even the majority SF3 fans, myself included enjoy Street Fighter IV. My roommate hasn't bought a Street Fighter game since Special Championship Edition on Sega Genesis and he bought the game. Street Fighter IV isn't perfect but its damned good. The game has great balance. If you know a character well enough you can win. Even Dan is useful in SFIV.

The only real issue I have is that they should adopt some of HD Remix's online feature. Not being able to see who your opponent is selecting, being able to have more than 2 people in your lobby, and penalizing people who disconnect. I've only had that happen to me a few times, I hear others have been less fortunate with disconnects.

 

your friends are a lot different from mine. Till today, at least one of my friends is playing sc4 when I log on to the psn. SF4 has its flaws as well i.e LACK OF A LOBBY SYSTEM and no penalty for disconnects. Add some of the most overpriced dlc to ship on the disc ever and you have the full picture. I still love the game but I think I actually prefer sc4. I have logged on over a month of sc4 online and I'm already tired of playing sf4 after only about 64 online matches. It could also be the times when each game came out since when I was playing sc4 the only other online game I was playing was cod4 but it was already aging but as soon as kz2 released, I haven't played sf4 since.
