SF4 looks awesome, but no.
Capcom should make a new Street Fighter/Darkstalkers sequel with TVC’s graphics.
i second this
and yes it should be used for future games but dont forget to add more to it not just new graphics
My short answer, no.
I’ve never seen a SF game de-emphasize movement to such a degree before. Some characters like Sagat walk like they’ve got two gimp legs – makes A3 'Gief look like he’s going at warp speed. The hitboxes in this game are really awkward too. A lot of stuff extends far less than the actual limb does. How many times have you seen your c. LK go right through someone’s legs and not hit them? There’s way too much disadvantage on everything for my tastes as well. Never seen a game where a blocked close fierce was punishable.
I mean, I like the game; it’s something radically different from past Street Fighters, and that’s fine, but I don’t think I want them all to be like this.
I don’t make a career out of the tourny circuit, its something I do when I have the time and personally Im just gratful Im good enough to compete competently agaisnt the very best in the world.
I’ve noticed this in many 2D fighters. So many that I have come to expect it happening in every 2D fighter.
If you mean 3D models restricted to 2D plains for the most part, that isn’t new. In fact its like nearly a decade old.
If you are saying improve on the engine later on for a future Capcom fighting game, I am down for that.
How about the fluid animation of Street Fighter III with the High res style of HD Remix.
That would be freaking awesome.
Why is the animation so bad in HD Remix though? Would it change the timing?
the game is nothing revolutionary really, sf2 same old same old
I had fun though
even though the art sucks balls the graphics are great and shiny, I guess that kept me on playing it.
"Should Street Fighter IV be used as a template for future fighters? "
God no
No other fighting games will be sucessful, really 2d is impossible to sell statewide, even a beautiful game like kof 12.
Lol at you guys hating on sf4. u mad.
SF4 is a a different beast than any sf games.
I dont know what with this obsession to stick with sprites comes from; it is idiotic if you want to see new fighting games do well over here.
I cant understand some of the sentiments from people concerning SF3/3S and SF4. SF3 SF4 hate?? it still puzzles me. Im not sure if its down to nitpicking… Maybe i should ask the question: How would you improve SF4? or that a bit cliche?
im glad that i dont live in usa, where if is not in 3d it doesnt sell (or is it if its not sf doesnt sell?), i bet my life that if sf was a 2d fighter you wouldnt be saying that fool statement and everyone wold be saying that capcom is proving that 2d its not dead. 
2D FOREVER :rock:
Technically, Capcom’s proving that 2D-styled fighting games will never die.
Yes, the graphics are 3D but that’s it really. Other than that, the gameplay is tried and true 2D goodness.
That said, yes and no. I like the direction but there’s still room for improvement.
3D modeled fighters are just plain smart, despite what style they play.
you know what i mean 
, real 2d not 2.5d, i like sf4, but i preffer some 2d in my games
Ah yes. Keep in mind that I would have loved SF4 with HD sprites too. 
That said, I hope KOF12 does well. We need more 2D goodness.
Edit: Oh yes. I hope I can try out BlazBlue in the future.
I say “Nah” - not as a template. I like variety, and different fighter game styles = more fun. I like SF4, but 90% of why I like it is nostalgia. I don’t think it’d be cool if suddenly EVERYTHING was like SF4… that’s what we had back when SF2 was around, along with AoF, KoF, World Heroes, etc etc. Remember those days? Where EVERYTHING was “kinda like Street Fighter”? I wouldn’t want to go back to that.
Template for other Street Fighters? Maybe. But for fighting games in general? Nah.
I’d give it a lobby in Player Matches so 6 buddies could hang out and all play and watch the fights, etc 
I second lobbies with more players, but I would cap it at 4 players, six is obnoxious.
Replay Mode with the option to add Pop-Up Video like commentary on screen (like what YouTube is doing now) would be incredible.
dont forget BlazBlue bro
