Capcom making Street Fighter easier to play

Pro-G report that SFII's special moves will be dumbed down to attract new players. This story is based on a blog entry by one of the developers.

David Sirlin, who is overseeing the design and gameplay on Super Street Fighter 2 HD Remix, revealed that many potential players are locked out of experiencing the classic beat-em-up because they "can't Dragon Punch or do Fei Long's flying kicks".

Hopefully they'll just stick in an Easy Mode so that you can choose whether or not you want to play against the kid who has "Press down on the right analogue stick to perform the Final Atomic Buster"

I can agree with ya on that one, but mostly about the part about being able to select an "easy" mode, only because despite as easy as it'll be, I'd never get into it since I'm so used to the classic "REAL" controls. If they don't have that, they might as well call it street fighter for kids and use the puzzle fighter characters instead. Honestly, if you over five years old and can't memorize a couple, even a few small control moves and buttons, you probably will suck at this game anyways.

And that's what SKILL is for, have we all forgot about that already? I remember kids at the arcade that were considered masters of the game since they can play as any character, and know all their moves and combos, and then there's a newb who only picks Ryu and does fireballs all day. Want to play like the master? Well that takes practice, but obviously whining can do it for ya too. Might as well press one button FTW, game over!

defeats the object of the game in my opinion. I've played a few versions with easy special and super moves and the satisfaction in playing is nowhere near as much as learning how to do the moves and executing them while under pressure.

It's not hard to learn, just takes a little bit of dedication. I still have problems performing the double 360 moves but when I do pull em out they give you a feeling of achievment at least.

If it's being done because of either machines controller I'm surprised to say the least. I would have expected Capcom (CHA CHING!) to bring out new pads designed specially for the game like in the past.

the only move what needs to be changed is zangiefs pile-driver which is f**king impossible cant even do one, but my friend can do it about 50% of the time

Enigma_20996429d ago

My brother can COMBO into the Final Atomic Buster!!! Trying to combo him has a 80% risk of getting dropped on your head!!!

donscrillinger6429d ago

HOLD UP CAPCOM THATS HELLA WACK .

Enigma_20996429d ago

I have officially lost ALL interest in this game.

Pffft. What desperate articles

I played street fighter 2 for years on my SNES even after I got my N64. It was just relaxing the way you could beat the snot out of such iconic characters.

Great news for all PS3 fans (blasphemyyyyyyyy, how can a PC gaming site talk about PS3 fans, how, HOW, HOOOOOOWWWWW) as RPCS3 is making a lot of progress. Since the launch of a Patreon campaign, its author has been working hard on it and it appears that its latest version can run a couple of games.

If they had more PS4 games I would've taken advantage of this.

triverse3209d ago

I have to agree. I wish companies would do more porting of their previous digital only games such as Final Fight Double Impact over to the PS4. I want to get a Playstation but 3 seems on the way out and 4 is still too new for a lot of what I am interested in.

NapalmSanctuary3209d ago (Edited 3209d ago )

I wish they would port their full classic line brawlers from the 90s. Man, they made some good games back then.

triverse3209d ago

Napalm, check out their PSP Reloaded and Remixed collections. Great value for the money and full of their core retro games. I am not sure what consoles they released those collections on but I am sure PS3 and Xbox 360 were in there.

just-joe3209d ago

Or say if the PS4 was backwards compatible.

triverse3209d ago

Well, we know that is not going to happen anytime soon, at least not till people stop buying PS3 games and such. Sad. I wish it was backwards compatible too- I would buy a PS4 immediately if it worked with at least the digital stuff from the PS3.

DivineAssault 3209d ago

I wish Sony would get the licenses for all the classic arcade games from the 80s and 90s for the PS4.. I dont see why they wouldnt want to make money? I miss those brawlers like xmen, tmnt, etc.. So many great games people are forced to play on mame

triverse3209d ago

The problem with that idea is that a lot of those companies are now defunct and no one really knows who owns the rights to what game. Then in cases like X-Men, it is multiple companies involved (the engine would be Konami's while the actual X-Men license would be Marvel's) and sometimes none of the companies involved are interested in working together again for whatever reason.

I wish it would happen too though.
