View Full Version : Street Fighter IV
Quite suprised that nobody has made a topic about this already really.
So Capcom have announced it, and we all know it's been a long time since the last installment. If we're being technical, 1999. So nearly a decade between games, which means alot of people will be hopeful for some awesome things with the new technology.
I myself wouldn't mind if the in game art was something like the mini trailer, that would be enough "innovation" to suit me. Street Fighter is a truely great series, one of the few beat-em-ups without broken characters/stages, and hopefully will remain so.
I'd be a bit sketchy of it if it did make a foray into 3D, ala SF:EX. "Don't mess with the classics" is a philiosphy I agree with for the most part, and whilst I would have faith in Capcom to pull it off well, I feel it could be drastically different in terms of play. Which could be a bad thing for purists, even if the game comes out well.
If you get what I mean. Question of purity and all that.
Anyway, enough of my yammering. Links to the trailer and story from Gametrailers and Gamespot provided below:

Story (http://uk.gamespot.com/news/6181182.html?sid=6181182&part=rss&subj=6181182)
I'm excited.
Quite suprised that nobody has made a topic about this already really.
Actually I didn't even realize they were coming out with a new Street Fighter. Glad to see they finally made it past II. LOL
Well if they have a game engine like Virtua fighter and keep familiar Street Fighter style controls, I think I'd enjoy it. The trailer did get me wondering though... If the character styles (the way they are animated and drawn) where changed. Ken looked a little more Asian than I think he should look. -_-

I'm just hoping a bit that they'll stay with the 2D area, but with the 2d graphics and whatnot. Y'all can bet that Capcom might head back to 2D fighting. The trailer to me looked like a comic cell shaded graphics, which looked awesome by the way.
Not to get a bit off topic, but Capcom is also doing the Street Fighter 2 Turbo HD Remix as well.

I'm diggin the visual style. Can't wait to see how it turns out! Almost makes me think of the 300 movie.
Not to get a bit off topic, but Capcom is also doing the Street Fighter 2 Turbo HD Remix as well.
Aye. I'm hearing that it's being rated as generally underwhelming though. I don't expect a whole lot of difference from the SFII:Turbo to be honest.
They say if you analize the trailer hard enough you can find out what the game is going to be like. I do hope they keep the art style. I rather enjoyed it.
I'm thinking it's going to be something like 2.5D for actual fights.
Always enjoyed Street Fighter, one of the better games during the times before Virtua Fighter and the wait between releases. I really hope they don't use 3D, I always loved the 2D gameplay and the sprites, always held them up in high respects for keeping it solid. ^_^
Street Fighter should stay in 2D if they did SF4 in 3D it would kill it. But still I am looking forward to the game, however I'm not sure if they can better Street Fighter 3rd Strike since many of the people who worked on Street Fighter over the years have left Capcom. Still I am looking forward to seeing what they will be doing.
Street Fighter should stay 2D!! Remember the SF EX series with fear!
But I am really looking forward to this game and I don't think Capcom will disappoint us when they finally have decided to release a new game in the series!:)
I hope this comes out in the arcades then to consoles, the arcade is where Street Fighter was born so its only right the new SF comes out in the arcades first.
Other then that the is still the question, "What arcade hardware will the game be running on?" CVG said that its rumored to be running on Sammy's Atomiswave arcade board while I heard from somewhere (can't remember where) that SF4 will be running on Taito's Type X hardware.
Also take a look at this its a little analysis of the trailer with possible clues on what Capcom will be bringing to the game.

New trailer of Chun-Li fighting the new girl C. Viper.
http://www.gametrailers.com/player/31612.html
I know its not in game but Chun-Li looks fantastic.
I hope these trailers are gonna be on the console releases.
Also the new girl reminds me of Iori of the SNK fame.

It wasn't one I was having till you mentioned it.
You know I wouldn't mind seeing Gene from GOD HAND in this, the game is awesome :D
I've not played that but have seen it and looks awesome.
Anyways back on SF4 does anyone know what hardware the game is running on in the arcades? I heard it was running on Tatio's Type X2 arcade board.
The game runs on the Taito Type X2 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taito_Type_X#Taito_Type_X2) arcade board inside a Taito Viewlix (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Japanese_arcade_cabinets#Viewlix) cabinet, marking the first time that a roman numeral Street Fighter game will run on non Capcom-proprietary hardware. The arcade release will take advantage of the Type X2's network capabilities and will allow players in separate machines within the same LAN to fight each other.According to wikipedia that is correct.
Vega better come back, t'was my favourite Street Fighter character by far. It worries me he's not been announced yet.

I can't believe this thread isn't booming?
When I first saw SFIV I was extremely worried but having seen more footage of it and more of the classic characters I now can't wait for this! And there are rumours of Fei Long being a character for the console versions, that would just complete the game for meXD.

He is back in it. Apparently though he's not quite as fast as he used to be from what i've read.
It's a shame that there aren't some SFIII characters, I mean given the choice I'd have all the originals and no SFIII characters than only a few from each. But without them this kinda just feels like another Steet Fighter II version.

I take it you haven't played Gal's Fighters on the Neo Geo Pocket then.
I used to be a big fan of Street Fighter 3, now that my passion has waned over the years I'm only now interested in the inclusion of Dan for the 4th game. Maybe I'll get a bit more excited when the release date comes nearer or if, miracle of miracles, I find an arcade cab of it.
Street Fighter's the sort of game I'd like to play but can't..
DBZ? Yup, Naruto? Yup, Smash Bros? Yup
Street fighter, virtua fighter? God no >< I haven't got the patience or skill

Street Fighter IV is gonna kick ass!!!
I'm really not a SF fan, but the graphical style in the trailers sure is amazing. Too bad the in game graphics looks like any generic 3D fighter with a bit of stylish cell shading.
One of the main reason I didn't like SF3 was the character design. Aside from Ryu, Ken, Chun Li and Akuma, half of the crew looks generic and boring, while the other half looks like a bunch of ugly retards.
This seems to be the case in SF4 too. Just look at the newcomers.
Abel is a big, muscular, blonde guy in some edited karate gi and way too tight pants. I think he looks extremely boring and uninteresting.
El Fuerte is another spanish guy in a mask. His moves on Zangief seemed pretty cool, but he reminds me too much of Vega.
Rufus is fat and ugly. I can't see why anyone would want to play as him. He's the final result of extremely bad taste.
Can't say anything really bad about Crimson Viper, aside from a stipid name. And she looks like she's from Tekken rather than SF.
I sure hope capcom will change my oppinion with some new cool characters, but until then I feel more excited about BlazBlue.

Capcom have announced release dates for us! *Happy happy dance*
Great news everyone, today Capcom sent word that their upcoming Street Fighter IV has a release date.
Street Fighter IV will be coming to North American on February 17, 2008, and to Europe on February 20.
Are you ready?
I've been looking forward to this for a while now.
Thats good news looks like i'm gonna have to invest in an arcade stick just for this game. playing fighters with a 360 pad just does not feel right.

Too right, trying combos on that D-Pad is like trying to perform brain surgery with a flamethrower -_-"
There's a decent third party Hori stick (I think) with a few free arcade games...or if you want really professional ones, I'd look to play asia.

The full Hori Acrcade Pros are good, but this is a cut down smaller stick. It compares favourably to other smaller sticks Hori did from the last gen like the Hori Fight Stick on the PS2, but is still made of fairly cheap parts. The A button 'stuck' on mine after only a month or so for example. Unless you are a really harcore about your arcade sticks the performance probably won't bother you but the build quality still can't go unnoted. Wouldn't pay more than £25 for one whatever you do, might be better to splash out on one of those SF4 licensed sticks that are supposely coming out in the long run, I hear they have Sanwa parts in them.

Capcom Detail Street Fighter IV Collector's Edition for PAL Regions
Capcom today detailed their Street Fighter IV Collector's Edition for both European and Australian gamers. As well as the much anticipated game, the Collector's Edition will include the following:
Limited edition figurines of all time favourite character Ryu and the all new character Crimson Viper, positioned within the familiar settings of the 'crowded Chinese downtown'.
A bonus disc containing a feature length HD quality anime movie, created specially for the launch of Street Fighter IV and a selection of the best game trailers to date.
A mini strategy guide created in the style of a comic art book detailing the moves and biographies of four of the new characters to the series; Viper, Abel, El Fuerte and Rufus
Exclusive downloadable game content
No word on what the exclusive downloadable content is though ... What an intriguing announcement. Also no word on whether North America will get anything like this but as soon as we find out, we'll fill you in. I can't see North America missing out on the Street Fighter IV Collector's goodness though.
Street Fighter IV will be available February 17th in North America and February 20th in Europe.
I want that.
Exclusive downloadable game content, I wonder what it could be?

It'll be costumes, or maybe an extra stage.
Chances of it being an extra fighter are really, really low, what with 4 new ones already...they may bring other characters in, but wouldn't miss the chance to charge you for them :P

Largely depends on the players. Once the hype dies down it'll be hardcore which is great if you've been playing every game for the past ten years but to SF n00bs it sucks.
Also depends on LAG ¬_¬ and overall balance, there's got to be one character that has one move that can be used over and over to spam victory, otherwise it wouldn't be a fighter

Street Fighter is pretty noob friendly though. Hopefully they pull the same thing as SFIITHD which is meant to be lag free.
Killer French Bread
04-01-2009, 11:17
I haven't played SF2HD, but until I do I'm dubious as to how lag free it is. Maybe I'm wrong, but I remember playing DOA4 online and it was horrible because of even the slightest lag messing up your timing. It was a totally different game online to off.
I watched a review of SSF2THD and they said that online games were very good.
As for which version i'm getting well i'll have to stick with the 360 version, yes i know the d-pad is shit but its Street Fighter the only real way to play it is with an arcade stick.

I use d-pads for fighters always as the sticks you can buy are nowhere near the quality of an arcade stick.
For some reason the d-pad on 360 seems to work for Virtua Fighter 5 pretty damn well. I am a hardcore VF player and have yet to miss time a move at all on the 360 version.

Something that used to make me laugh was in the pads they made there always used to be one of those ubiquitous mailing cards that has various questions on it for their marketing and what not. One of them was 'Why did you purchase this controller?', or something to that effect, and amongst the usual answers like 'The price' and 'The quality', there was a, now sarcastically notorious amongst my friends, option of 'The Mad Catz reputation'. I wonder how many people ticked that box.

It probably helps that Street Fighter is incredibly popular, constantly good and finally getting the sequal it deserves.
Like if Sonic Adventure 1 was the last proper Sonic game and SEGA announced a sequal in the works, it would have go the same result.

Maybe Street Fighter is *that* game, you know *that* game. The one that's a genre you generally don't like but really enjoy *that* particular game.

Why? Isn't that attitude the reason so many games are creatively going nowhere these days and developers never take risks? The SF3 cast was slagged off by every man and his dog when it came out (even though I loved the overdue drastic roster changes myself), asking Capcom to recycle that line up too is worshipping at the altar of the cult of personality a bit too much if you ask me.

Meh, Street Fighter III had no really memorable character. Maybe Ibuki, but eh...
The most memorable characters from the Alpha/Zero subseries are already in (Rose, Sakura, Gen, Dan - all others are shovelware characters, too), and the only thing which are kinda missing are actually those two characters from Super SF II - T. Hawk and Dee Jay.
I'd only want T. Hawk, though. Dee Jay kinda sucked. And the roster is darn big as it is, anyway. They should have included T. Hawk instead of Fei Long.

Whilst I'm on the subject of characters, I still do not understand Rose and Bison being on the roster since they both are meant to be dead. Guess this game is non-canon or I guess it's not meant to be thought about.
Anyways, how do the new characters play? EL Blaze, sorry, Fuerte looks like a laugh riot.

Bison's body was destroyed several times during the games, and IV takes place after Alpha 3, in which he got a new one after possessing Rose's body. She has survived the possession and remembers nothing of it by the start of SFIV according to its game guide.

It wasn't bad at all, it was great in fact, but you have obviously missed the point if you ask because I'm trying to say I want new characters and not old ones recycled in future.
I don't mind them bringing back the old cast this once, but I absolutely loved it when I first fired up SF3 Double Impact on my Dreamcast all those years ago and got stuck into the new roster. I'll probabably never play another game like it now though because of the curent trend to yearn for the familiar. If you haven't played any Capcom fighting games recently them it probably does seem great to see the old guys you knew when you were a kid, but I've been playing SF games for about 15 years on and off now and would like a bit of a change please Capcom.*
*Yeah I know there is zero chance of this as SF4 will no doubt sell a grillion copies on the back of it's well known characters.

I was under the impression that IV came between II and III and the Alphas came between the original and II.

More new ones would have been nice but we know a lot of the world work on an "If it ain't broke don't fix it" mentality, which is a shame, more characters is rarely a bad thing.

I don't mean to sound like I'm picking on you, but I would actually disagree with that. Just throwing in a load of ill-balanced characters into a fighting game is a lazy way to give it an illusion of depth and variety.

Don't worry about it, you're just being you. To be honest I've never really noticed character balance much; I'm a fighting game noob.

*Nod* That's a good idea, or gather them together and force them to battle in person. (But your idea's probably a lot easier)
It's also a lot cheaper as you don't have to factor in travel expenses and the like.

Keep your distance from him and instantly jump away the moment you have hit an attack..... You have to attack him in bursts and constantly be moving , never stand still.

Never stand still! You have to constantly be jumping away from him to avoid him grabbing you.
If he blocks you move, the moment you realise you have been blocked, track and field the light kick button so you basically stop him grabbing you again.
EX moves seems to work well against him too. He gets easier after you find your groove.

20-03-2009, 02:07
Beating Seth is all about timing & countering at the right moment. I always wait until Seth throws a Sonic Boom or stretch arms attacks like Dhalsim and then boom I attack with a jumping forward high kick & a high kick sweep. Repeat what I said and you will have no problem with Seth. Also when Seth teleports don't go straight at him or you will pay the price just wait for the counter. Just don't go straight at him at all he's a cheap M.F.
Who will win in a battle between SFIV's Seth vs. SFIII's Gill. I'll say Gill, to me he was a lot tougher than Seth but still it will be a good match.

I left some until later on too. Dhalsim was pretty tough, I'm ashamed to say that while clearing it with him I had to regretfully turn to mainly spamming his stretchy heavy punch. On the other hand it was a nice way to try each of the characters: Rufus is actually pretty good, like a quicker, close-combat version of Ryu. And he jiggles like jelly.
I think I unlocked Sakura and Gen very quickly, from there I unlocked Dan and didn't bother with anyone else :P
I generally don't have trouble with a character, just when it comes so specials, supers and ultras. It's sometimes easier to win if you ignore them alltogether.
One character I've wanted to use is Vega, he's pretty awesome. Too complex for my small mind to comprehend though.

Most of them are okay if you ask me: The majority of the character's super/ultra combos fall either into "Double-Lower-Quarter-Circle then Attack" or "Charge...one-two-three go!". The only ones I've had trouble with are Zangeif, Guile, Vega and Akuma.

Actually, he's pretty easy to use if you ask me; it just looks hard. The only thing people (including myself) have trouble with is his super/ultra combo. But, if you do pull it off, it is pretty spectacular.

I would say the same thing about every character's ending, the stories are so poorly fleshed out I just guess the ending.
Gundam 2 is faster, streamlined and adds massive gundam that spam you to death.

What's with the random kid with the glowing forehead in Shadoloo's base?
That movie that comes with the collectors edition does nothing to help either.

All of which are awesome.
Thank you Ken :D if I'm really addicted I'll have Seth by the end of the night, I'm just doing it for bragging rights. Did anyone find Seth even more nuts than usual when using Guile?
The random kid had that glowy red thing that Ryu has? At least that's what I figured...what I find annoying is that the stories are sort of...half there...but they never let you see enough to let you really know or care about what's going on. Particuarly with Akuma and Gouken, I want to see a laaaarge fight scene.
And true about Gundam, essentially if you love Gundam, you'll love it. If you had the previous one, you'll love 2 even more.

Anyone who shouts the things El Fuerte shouts is automatically awesome.
His confrontation with Zangief is by far one of the best scenes in the game.

There are always going to be rumours; whether they have any basis or not is a different matter. Although, Yun & Yang appear in Chun-Li's opening and Adon is Sagat's so they might get chucked in. And there are the old T.Hawk & Dee Jay rumours.
I'd like to see Eagle and Birdie though. Or R. Mika. Or Dudley. Or D. Dark.

It's fun to win with Dan. In the hands of a master, Dan can be very destructive. Too many people discount him as 'useless'.
The one advantage of doing all these stories is getting to use every character, Gen and Rose are both fantastic :O Gen has practically no specials which is fun and Rose is very easy to use

If Capcom want to go down the 'new' character route I'd rather they did it in a seperate release. Would be crap with half the people on line having different rosters to the rest.

Never been waiting around for Capcom's Street Fighter 'sequels' before then? I remember paying a sizeable chunk of money just for the privelage of being able to play (in 2 player only) as Cammy in Street Fighter 2 Gold. And I think you only got 4 new characters in 3rd Strike, one being Chun Li. Oh, and not forgetting of course the genrosity of Turbo mode and playable bosses in SF2 Turbo.
In fairness to Capcom they have toned it down abit, though that might be due to their DLC scam.
Thinking about DLC characters, would they need to add anime openings and endings too?
Oh, does anyone have this on PSN? I'd love to do some player matches tonight :D

My package for Street Fighter IV has come, though I can only get it on Tuesday. Then I will share my thoughts! :O
Or D. Dark.
Yea. EX gets neglected so heavily by Capcom it's awful. :[
I'd also love to see Pullum, Skullomania and Area return. A girl with a missile launcher as arm? Fuck yea!
I found the EX characters really interesting, to be honest. They were extremely creative in terms of design and gameplay without being bizarre like Necro or Q from III.
I really am curious about if that rumour about Street Fighter IV Dash is true:

I heard that rumour a few days ago. I think something would have turned up at the TGS if there was much too it, but we'll see.
It's lot of characters to add, sounds like a fan boy's list of requests. At least the best Street Fighter characters ever are on there: Dudley and Adon.

Then I salute you. I had it on xbox and couldn't play it. For a quick bash fair enough but when it came to playing against the boss or on any harder settings, I just couldn't physically do any moves with that pad.
I agree with Dudley, but I don't really like Adon. :[
Adon is pretty cool. Though me and my mates always had trouble getting past him on Dramatic Mode on SF: A3 on the Dreamcast.
A Dramatic Mode on IV would be pretty cool.

They brought him back because for completion's sake. With Dee Jay, the whole Street Fighter II lineup is in the game now, all 17 (the original 8, the 4 from SSFII, the 4 World Warriors and Akuma).
Furthermore, the producer said they wanted to add in 8-ish characters, among them many that the fans wanted to be in, so there's still chances of TS-characters to be added (Go Dudley!).

I just had a brainwave: Adon and one (or both) of the twins (Yun & Yang) might be likely candidates to be in Super SFIV as they appear in cut scenes in SFIV. Adon in Sagat's opening and the twins in Chun-Li's.

Charlie also is mentioned in Guile's opening, and Guile's alternative costume is the jacket Charlie wears. So perhaps.

Ahh, that's true; and it's hinted that Abel has met Charlie before now: When Abel encounters Guile he mentions having seen Guile's sonic boom before and the only other known character that can do it is Charlie.
I do hope Dudley gets included, though.
I think quite a few people are, I'd rank him as being pretty likely as a SF:III entrant, along with Ibuki.
Also, I'm liking the look of Juri a lot~
I got SFIV some weeks ago.... at first when I knew there was going to be a SFIV Champions Edition I got a bit mad,
But thinking about it it may not hit Steam until 2011 so, I still have plenty of fun left before I have to trigger some greenies.
And the game itself it's great, plays exactly as SF II Turbo but with Focus, EX and Ultra, most popular characters are there (maybe the fault at SFIII, though I loved Third Strike and I still have like 5 replays on my memory card) and graphically it's beautiful with nice adds for the PC power of each person.

Uh... Seth? o_o
Click the spoiler for my thoughts on why Abel knows the Sonic Boom - as it contains spoilers:
It's also hinted a far more lot that Abel is a clone of Seth. Look at his face (it strikes a big resemblance to Seth's), how his eyes go glowy when he uses his Ultra, his dialogue with Seth (that Abel is a failure and such), and the dialogue of the Seth mirror when playing through Arcade with Seth (as there ARE clones of him, and quite a bunch too). Not to mention that in the Bible, Seth is a brother of Abel. So even the names make sense.
Though it might be that he met Charlie before, that's the assumption Guile actually makes, and there's no actual other evidence hinting at that, while the "Abel is related to Seth"-thing is far more apparent. And Seth uses Sonic Boom, too. So it sounds far more logical for Abel to have seen the Sonic Boom from Seth.
@Leox:
I got it only like 10 days ago, myself. It's definitely worth it, though, especially cause there's a rumour of the people owning the original game getting some special things, as Yoshinoro Ono said that those who bought SFIV definitely should keep it. :>

...Oh yeah. But Seth must have learned it from somewhere and my guess is that when Charlie didn't re-appear from the Shadowloo HQ in Alpha 3 he was captured and his move data was used for Seth.

Yes.
And I don't think that you can have the bonus stuff on different consoles. The game can't detect a SFIV disc for you if you have it in the same room or something. =P
I wouldn't expect anything huge anyway, probably those DLC costumes already unlocked or something.

Well.
I don't mean in the original version.
My theory is that you will either get the DLC extra costumes for free on SSFIV (probable, either one pack like in SFIV's Collector's Edition or the whole set for each character), especially if they go with new ones, OR that those costumes you have downloaded for SFIV are transmitted to SSFIV (less likely, imo).
That is, if it IS indeed DLC costumes. I rather said that it's a high chance it will be something like that. Could also be some extra music or stages.

Currently, Seth is like... Mid Tier in the game. So, it's not like he's already cheap and gonna easily be in Top Tier. It's just his AI which is so strong and reads your button inputs that makes him so cheap. I don't think they'll make the character broken overall.
