Street Fighter: A Learning Experience
www.pushingplay.com writes "When was the last time you learned to play a game? Think about it. I don’t mean how you picked up Killzone 2 last week and had to get used to its slightly different controls, or learn the multiplayer maps. I’m talking about something entirely new to you. When did you learn to control a first person game? Or learn to navigate arcane menu systems in an RPG? It’s probably been a while.
Fighting games have always been a bit of an enigma to me. Blocking, combos, hit boxes, frame counting? What!? When Street Fighter IV was announced my reaction was unenthusiastic. "That’s a cool trailer… Ink looks pretty" I thought. I never imagined I’d have any interest in it. As its release approached hype started to build. It was being called a return to some sort of classic fighting game world that everyone seemed to know."
