Street Fighter 4 Farewell Thread

Good Riddance.

I liked Vanilla a lot, but man did the game get old for me quickly. Stopped playing around 2011. Too many updates, too many new characters, too many changes couldn’t keep up with it plus the core game just didn’t have lasting power with me the way ST, A2, and 3S did.

V looks amazing and I can’t wait. Played it and it’s a huge step in the right direction. Before people get mad: opinions.

I will never miss this peace of trash called SFIV.

SFV can’t come fast enough.

ultra tried to make 4 accessible to everybody and basically pissed off everybody.

Only memory I have of this game is that I got into it way too late.

Still, it should make for decent practice on my Hori RAP4…

mvc2 dieing was so…oh my god.

Marvel 3 ain’t in a healthy state. The marvel board is dead outside of a handful of threads and tourney numbers been dropping.

Yea, but they have had success with crowd funding pots bonuses to get people to still travel and compete. The current one for Teespring isn’t bad either, I think I might cop cuz the Tee is dope.

If this was 2007 Marvel’s numbers would still be great. I think Marvel 2 was already starting to get only barely above 100 people at Evo around that time.

It won’t really die since it’s America’s anime game and nothing else is quite as crazy as Marvel. It has a charm and identity that people will hold onto until the next one.

mvc2 seemed like it was the epitome of hype till it evolved into only touching 6 characters.
And that’s why I do not believe tier lists. The worst character ended up being the one everybody used in evo.

Sentinel used to be below SHUMA ffs lol

Tier lists change, they’re never supposed to be seen as absolute. They only reflect how powerful a character is according to the current understanding of said character’s abilities, because what else could you judge it on? The newer the game is, the more inaccurate it will be.

SF5 cruelly omitted Rose, so as long as she doesn’t make it SF5, I won’t stop playing SF4.

This might belong in another thread. But SFV will need to prove it can replace USFIV before its phased out of major Tournaments.

As of 1/9 USFIV is one of the 2016 tournament main games for:
-Hypespotting - Regional
-CannesWinterClash - Regional
-Final Round - Premier
-Westcoast Warzone - Regional
-CEO - Premier

The question remains to be seen. Is it before or after UMVC3 in terms of stream time.

dudley’s swerve will be missed. makoto’s everything will be missed hugo’s clap will be missed. Although alex and this urien get some spotlight this time. Uh… if hugo doesn’t get in, there is still room for season 2 Q.

That was before stuff like fast fly was discovered and he suddenly became the fastest character in the game.

To quote fanatiq.

I do not know why I’m not fond of sentinel when I like painwheel.
All I know is that I just can’t when it comes to mvc sentinels.

I do not know the terms for such but I immediately feel the sour when sentinel involved.

nice!!!

Goodbye SF4. You got me into the wider fighting game community and led me to ST and third strike. You were decent for a time but you don’t have the staying power of the classics.

I’m picking up Street Fighter, and since my PC doesn’t run Street Fighter V and I don’t have a PS4, I’ll be playing USFIV.

By the end of its lifespan, the game had almost every character I ever wanted.

Damn, I remember hearing Indestructible for the first time and laughing my ass off… lol
