"With the console release date of Street Fighter 4 finally being announced, I'm sure there are a lot of players out there that have been waiting for it to come out on console to really start learning the game. Yeah I know there are plenty of who would be playing everyday if they didn't live six hours away from the nearest machine, so this article is not for you guys. This is for the players who do live relatively close to a SF4 machine, but are not taking advantage of this huge opportunity to get a jump on the competition."
The Street Fighter series has a long history, but which are the seven best games the franchise has yet offered to gamers?
After Street Fighter II released in in 1991, it caused a fighting game explosion, both in arcades and in home consoles. But, as the decade ended, and arcades were failing, so too were 2D Fighting games. This is how Street Fighter IV completely revitalized the genre.
I'd say Blazblue helped too. Didn't care for Street Fighter 4, but Blazblue was amazing during that time. Sad that the series kind of went downhill after the first 2 or 3 games though.
BlazBlue was phenomenal. Platinum'd Calamity Trigger because I loved it so much. I remember buying Continuum Shift back in the day at launch for like $40. They did have DLC characters (Valkenhayne, Makoto, and Platinum at the time) and it came out to just a tad more than it would at full price. Didn't mind at all.
Great fighting game.
Continuum Shift was definitely my favorite. Spent way too many hours on that game, haha... Had the counters for days with Hakumen.
BlazBlue was the much better, more technical game..and a real 2D Fighting Game after all. But yes, since it was a big name..the characters were still popular and the game itself was good, SFIV indeed helped a lot. However, I am pretty sure the much better-selling Mortal Kombat 9 would have been done without SFIV as well..and that one truly helped to make the fighting game genre in general more popular again.
You’re sound dumb. Blazblue was not better than sf4. You’re just saying that because you’re a street fighter hater.
eyyy max xD
one of the very few streamers i can actually watch without it being cringe and awful ha.
The content of IV was severely lacking when it launched. It got better over time.
In the same interview at EGX 2019 recently, Capcom and Street Fighter producer Yoshinori Ono responded to a fan question asking if there were any plans to bring the fourth or fifth entries in the series to the Nintendo Switch.
they botched SFV so bad, just start over, make a new version with proper single player mode and fully fleshed out with support for all of the consoles this time.
Gamer7804@ they already did kinda it call sf5ae it help sf5 sell like another 2 million copies.
SFV is actually great now. Bunch of modes, bunch of characters, alot of stages, not sure what else there is to even complain about. Costume MTX? Not a issue imo, I don't get what I don't want anyways
botched launch, and they launched only on one console and currently after a long time still on one console.
Did you see how Ultra and the Collection sold? We don't need to convince Nintendo of anything. Just put it on the console.PHYSICALLY.
Enigma_2099@ they probably have to make a new sf game just for the switch they probably will need Nintendo to help fund it just like sony help fund sf5.
You’re not seeing Street Fighter V come to other platforms besides PC because Sony helped co-fund the game so it’s staying only on PS4 & PC
Don't know why anybody would want SF5 on Switch. Especially if they owned a Switch.
That doesn't makes sense. Is Nintendo saying that Capcom can't publish the game on the system because it's users don't want the game? if so, that's really stupid of them, because why should they care?
Nintendo isn't saying such things of course.
Capcom shouldn't pass the buck. If they don't want to make more SF games on the Switch, then just say so, and say why.
If they want Nintendo to fund the project, then they are the ones that need to convince Nintendo to give them money.
Anyway, this SF IV is going to be a regression ! Gameplay is an old one, Parry from SF III third strike have disappeared : SO GAMEPLAY WILL SUCKS !
The best game ever in fighting 2D is KOF 98 UM !
More wainting for KOF 2002 UM (66 characters) than this SFIV shiit !
Even KOF XII will be better (but a regression too : KOF 94 next gen)
lol ! Real players only play KOF ! SF were great at 16 bits time (snes). and i like the third strike but it is far away from the KOF gameplay.
I have not played a Streetfighter game since Uni (16yrs ago), we had a winner stays on rule back then. I was there for like 2hrs sometimes lol, looking forward to the release though.
