3's Players: Why Aren't you Playing Street Fighter 4?

I’m not gonna hate until I try it, but…its not looking too good so far.

…

Dudley especially

Ibuki, I guess I could live with her from what I’ve seen even though it isn’t anywhere near the same thing.

when the trailer started playing dudley’s remixed theme, and the guy started saying “get on the dancefloor”, i wanted to shoot myself in the head.

seriously, fuck everything about this garbage ass game.

i think it would be better if when it launched ssf4 it said insert sf4 disc then scratched it up so it wouldnt work, then you put the ssf4 disc back in and it launched third strike… the perfect crime

This game looks a lot like 2nd impact as far as bgs and colors go.

System_1 · 2010-02-24T22:06:50.000Z

Lol this thread is so funny. Page after page of “Waahh, my game isn’t popular anymore!” and “everyone has moved on to the upgraded version what will we do! :(:(”. I chuckled heartily.

I don’t really see it as showing 3s players love as an easy grab at 3s players. Nobody continues playing 3s for years on end just because of some fanboy type admiration for the characters. The fact is, the mechanics of SF4 don’t facilitate the playstyle of Makoto and Dudley, and I’m not really sure Ibuki would work too well either. They will have the same moves of course, but they won’t play the same.

i got bored with SF4 quick but im really gonna dig into ssf4 to rep the 3s characters. Until the gods give me a 3s hd remix or something ill keep playing 3s for life and ill play with ssf4 till i get bored maybe around october lol

but you are right though…i dont feel them adding mak, duds or ibuki as a nod to the 3s faithful

i do hope that the current US 3s players get into the game and start beasting on people. i would find a lot of joy in that

snip.

The Third Strike characters are going to dominate in SSF4. They have so many tools…

Dudley is just going to roll over everyone especially.

i think dudley and ibuki will be good but makoto won’t be if block stun is still fucked up.

Wantonx · 2010-02-27T04:29:23.000Z

I really do think that dudley is going to be beastly as fuck. something about watching the way he moves and the moves that can connect without a good player behind the stick makes him seem that way to me. Imagine if there was someone who was damn good at the game and familiar with duds moves in control in some footage. I have a feeling he is going to be stupid good.

@OP’s question,

Only because I don’t have a next gen system and don’t plan on getting one anytime soon. I actually enjoy playing sf4 although it is very different than 3s and oftentimes I find myself pressing twd to “Focus” an attack. :lol:

Shin_Akuma · 2010-06-11T22:45:44.000Z

Daigo wants Urien and Yun in SSF4.

Fuck Seth!

pherai · 2010-06-11T22:51:39.000Z

seth is the worst character in sf history

Dander · 2010-06-11T23:45:41.000Z

Seth K Was also the worst thing to happen to sf.

I still think Hakan is the worst SF character ever, but Seth is pretty high up there…

Never thought so many people had such harsh opinions towards SFIV.
Saying it’s a shit game and it sucks is something I’d expect from FPS players or something. I’m kind of used to THAT, but ‘fellow’ SF-players.
I play like both and this is the first time I’m checking out this part of the forum.
I feel like this is another dimension in the shoryuken.com forum!

A lot of fighting game players have hated 3rd Strike for years, and still do. It only got popular in America based on a sheer miracle(…at the time, it was a miracle anyway), but once people got fed up with Chun mirrors at Evo they decided to move on.

And honestly, I can play ANY other fighting game and still have fun for the most part. Street Fighter 4 is the only thing that has made me mad at video games since GGPO.

My “next gen”/current gen console is a wii.

There’s little fellowship among people who play SF. ST players hate 3s, and 3s players hate SF4. And then some SF4 players start hating 3s to blend in with old school players.

Gaijinblaze · 2010-06-16T09:36:13.000Z

glad they didn’t listen to daigo and put urien in or i’d have some needless internal conflict. my 3S dudley is already bad enough thanks to super. i can’t wait until this whole sf4 fiasco is behind us and the giant new “community” can move on to something i actually feel good about playing. as good as mvc3 looks, i’m worthless at marvel in general so i probably won’t even be able to be a part of that. and i’m not expecting it to replace sf4 in any way, of course.

Louiscipher · 2010-06-16T10:29:59.000Z

Short answer: SF4 is a fighting game on training wheels, and the gameplay doesn’t appeal to me.

Long answer: They’re two entirely different games. 3S is more of a spin off than anything else, and if it weren’t called Street Fighter no one would compare it with ST or SF4. You may as well be comparing MVC 2 to Marvel Super Heroes. It all comes down to the gameplay and the comp. I love 3S for it’s unique gameplay, the parry system (love it or hate it some times), the mostly good comp, and everything else. SF4 isn’t a bad game, I think we can all agree that it’s not on par with shit like Ballz or Time Killers. But, it is dumbed down for the masses. As much as I enjoy the ST cast and new characters like Gouken, the gameplay is still dumbed down. There’s a fine line between being easy to pick up and difficult to master, and being made so retarded flipper-handed children can pull off SRK’s.
