Forums - Gaming - Street Fighter IV: best fighter this gen, maybe ever?

Oh, SCIV wasn't that great IMO. I think the 2nd best fighter behind SF4 this generation would be Dead or Alive 4. I consider Dead or Alive to be the best 3dD fighting series.

I want a new DarkStalkers from Capcom to go along with SF4 and KOF12. That would be heaven.

 

sciv was horrible imo, i bought it and sold it in the same week. i want to see a new rival schools game...

Samurai Shodown will forever be the tops. SF characters kinda died for me back in 97.

DOA4 is better than Soul cal4 for sure, even if it does come down to rock paper siccorss(Counter punch throw). However Soul Cal has more features, play modes...than all other fighting games combined.

Yeah have to agree with you on that Disolitude. I like Siegfried and for a guy with such a massive weapon he attacks and moves with a too much speed imo. Outside of Soul Calibur 1 and 2, that entire series has been a wash. It's a shame. I've played it since the Soul Edge/Blade days and I can't see myself buying another game in the series at this point.

 



Yes Tekken 6 will be the best fighter ever.



My take, for what it is worth. I, as probably most videogame people out there, have fond memories of Street Fighter in its various forums. I can't say I am hardcore into it. I didn't get into Street Fighter 3, and so on. I played them, but can't tell the nuances. I prefer Street Fighter over Mortal Kombat. I am so-so at playing. I set AI on easy and so on, and try to unlock stuff. Consider me a more casual player who has has had a long track record with videogames. Ok, onto my opinion:
1. Street Fighter FINALLY enters the world of polygons with a gorgeous game. It feels comfortable for me to pick up M. Bison again and play. It is fun, and almost all the time the polygons and 3D work. I look forward to see how Capcom and do revisions and tweaks on it.
2. I find the song "Indestructable", which is its theme song, is awesome. Not sure what the name is.
3. To repeat, the game is gorgeous.
4. For those returning, it has a solid comfort level.

5. The game seeks out people to play online, so one shouldn't be lacking for human opponents online.


So, to sum up, I don't want to overhype it. But would say anyone waiting for Street Fighter to finally enter the modern era, and get out of 2D Sprites, this is where it begins. My feeling is the game should also have legs to it also, with people 10 years or more from now, still be able to play it, and enjoy it.

Best fighter ever? I won't go there, but Street Fighter finally gets in the modern era with polygons. By the way, did I tell you the game is gorgeous?



Around the Network

Over 40 reviews are in for both X360 and PS3 and both versions are sitting on 94 on Metacritic.

Street Fighter IV must be the Fighter game of the year based on these high scores. I do not believe Tekken 6 could beat 94's.

IMO: The art style and the classic fighters in SF IV makes it look better than Tekken 6

 



i feel like SF has more "personality" than tekken
