"Back in the heyday of Street Fighter, the joke was that Capcom couldn't count to three. The seemingly endless string of updates to Street Fighter II established the tradition of not renumbering a Street Fighter game until substantial changes and improvements were made to the game. After many years of silence on the Street Fighter front, Street Fighter IV is perhaps the greatest leap the series has made between iterations."
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 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.
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.
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.
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
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.
A great game, however its taking a litle to get used to the in-game models, but he cut scenes are amazing. I also realized that I suck at fighting games, anyone have any advice on how to improve?
DAMN!!!, i was gonna wait to pick up this game after KZ2 because $ is tight but this game is getting high scores all over the place and it looks amazing; i may have to trade in some games to afford 2 games this month............ DAMN ECONOMY !!
This is the most fun I have ever had playing a fighting game. I also agree with their only gripes (no demo of combos in training/trial mode and the final boss name).
It is cumbersome trying to find the timing of some of the advanced combos in trial mode and when I made it to the boss character the first thing I thought to myself is what kind of name is Seth for a boss? ;)
i dont care about his name i care that on the harder levels it took me FOREVER to beat him lol.
ah boo i didnt want to buy this..... but im going to have to :( lol and try and find a stupid madcatz controller....somewhere lol
