Forums - Sony - Street Fighter IV VS. Street Fighter Alpha 3

I have no problems beating Sagat. Might have lost 1-2 times against good Sagat players. I`ve played about 500 online matches last time I checked.

SFA3 was faster and you have to have a better reaction skill than Street Fighter IV. Air blocking is essential for me. It makes a fight 100% more strategic. And the lovely customisation made the lasting appeal five times longer than SFIV, except there`s no online.

I like two super/ultra combo options in SFIV. Fokus attack should`ve been left out. Throwing is broken. Zangief is definitly broken. Chun-Li is useless. But finally you can use Blanka and E.Honda. The game is just plain cool. Graphics are lovely. Really fresh game.

But still SFA3 is for the pros in my opinion. I was unbeatable with customized Ruy to brag a little :)

SFIV rules!

I like the AI... I won Seth in "Super-Hard". It was easier than in the normal mode... it's funny ^^

SFII Turbo is still the best for me.

Off-topic again...sigh.

 

How about Virtua Fighter?

 



IV hands down....I hated Alpha.



If it was SF IV vs SFA1..........

I would go with alpha 1.....

You could do the old soft kick, meduim kick, hard kick sweep combo and it registered as 3 hits because of its fluidity.........

Why did they take the fluid combo system out of SFA1 and not have it in SFA2?

SFA1 combo....... Jumping hard kick, soft low kick, medium low kick and fireball

SFA2 combo..... Jumping hard kick, medium low kick and fireball..... see somthing missing?

So out of SF IV and SFA3 i go with SF IV......... SFA went downhill after SFA1 for me.........

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.



Alpha 3 is my all time favourite. World tour was excellent with the extras for the DC version (lvl 32 stages 2 infinite super bisons!!). Vism added a whole extra lvl to the multiplayer. Ryus infinite crouch cancel combo anyone?
