I just hate it when people say things like “Shit Fighter IV” or “Super Turtle Fighter IV” it implies that the three games prior to SFIV’s release are cut from the same troll stained jizzy Ono cloth.
it’s shit like this that will keep this stupid war about which fighting game is “best” going forever here on shitrk. i played sf2:ww, alpha, and ST waaaaaaay before i played 3s. ST did not make me realize how much 3s sucks. sf4 did not make me realize that 3s is superior. it’s all in your heads. stop fueling the fires here.
I play Ken.
If there’s actually a good port of Super Turbo, it may reignite the scene a bit, but that’s never happened.
The only reason they made SF4 take place before 3 was to continue the story from SF2 and keep all the characters from SF2 and bring in a ton of people who would have nostalgia for the old cast. You sound like you wear a tinfoil hat.
are you gonna be a man if we invite you to a lobby tonight. im pretty sure WC to EC is hella good on ggpo. right? right?
also yo why did you right align your sig? think you’re a website scripter-promgrammer or something?
Im surprised no one has pulled out the Guilty Gear trump card in this thread yet.
Daisuke thinks Third Strike is the best fighting game of all time.
so you’re saying that they couldn’t have made the story follow street fighter 3, and continue the story of a character like guile? the thing is, they most certainly could have, but why would they have a more casual (and sf4 had to be casual friendly because third strike failed financially) friendly game follow the most complex game in the series? that’d be going backwards. that’d be like the nba getting rid of the 3 point line and dunking. also, why wait until after sf4/and ssf4 to release their most complex game(third strike)? they could’ve released third strike in 2007,8,9,10… why release third strike at all since it is a very tough game to get into, and it might not even sell well? i’m wearing a tin foil hat, and you’re saying it’s totally implausible that maybe–just maybe, capcom understood that “oh crap, we got too complex and strange with third strike, despite some of the really wonderful things that it offers”.? hell! their initial idea for street fighter 3 was to not even have ken and ryu in the damn game at all, so yeah, they wanted a re-do with sf4, but they also didn’t want to totally dismiss street fighter 3’s bright points.
sorry if i don’t think it was a coincidence, and instead believe that it was their intent to bring back new and old players into the street fighter series with a simpler game like sf4/ssf4, and then re-introduce them to third strike, because they want to be able to reintroduce some of third strike’s mechanics at a later time . ask yourself this, if they had said “why don’t we just forget third strike, it’s not as popular as ssf4, it was a financial failure, and fans really bought into the sf4 gameplay?”, where would they go? the way they’ve done it, it would be perfectly reasonable for them to expect that MORE fans have now become accustomed to the focus attack (as a strategic concept and a precursor to parrying), and cancelling, and parrying (thanks to third strike’s re-release), so now they can move forward with the evolution of the series. business-wise it would’ve been easier to just ditch third strike altogether, and just keep making easily accessible, casual friendly games like street fighter 4.
but yeah, you’re right, they totally just made sf4 precede third strike because it was impossible to explain blanka in the game after third strike.
I didn’t say anything about SF4 not being more casual than SF3 or whatever. I just said that they wanted to return all of the old WW characters and that set off another stream of consciousness tirade because you’re crazy or something. Enjoy spontaneously combusting in front of your computer.
nothing wrong with street farter 4 just get rid off, of some of the shitty mechanics (huge frame reversal window, shortcuts derp and backdash invul, gay long) in sf4 and also make the stages a little more compact instead of these huge stages we have right now and speed up the game a little
wow what a game sf4 would be
for fucks sake 3s has shortcuts. god dammit why don’t people know anything about this game.
because they like to parrot things they’re not sure about?
that’s what I heard anyway.
they do but not like :d::d::ub: srk
Hating SF4 more and more is the cool thing to do nowadays, it seems.
That really makes me wanna try out 3s. There are so many things that piss me off about SF4 and I have nothing much to compare it with lol. I played the crap out of the demo of 3s though and it feels really good, everything I wanted to do just transitioned fluidly. But I dont want to practice another fighter as im already playing like 5 or something.
If only it came out now so id be sure everyone plays lol. One thing that hypes me up is that mashing apparently is not as insanely effective!! :o
i’d say ST is vaginal. sf3 would be like oral. sf4? congratulations, you got a handjob. nothing to brag about but you wouldn’t turn it down if the other two were out of the question.
What about super jab fighter 4? or Street fighter 4 Dive kick edition? or even Shoto fighter 4? Or how about Street fighter 4 jump in and randomly ultra and get punished and lose and cry saying the opposing character is op? Or super scrub fighter 4? how about Street fighter 4: RUSH DAT SHIT DOWN edition? Do these not please you?
But people in here arent discussing, they are stating as if their opinion is fact.
Don’t over dramatize it. You’ll just lose any credibility your argument had to start with…if you cleanly do that motion you will not get a DP lol
