Opinions are so polarized. The last games I played hard were Sf2, ssf2 and Snk’s samurai shodown (all 5) and last blade. I came back 15 years later to play USF4 and the game seems very good to me.
Pardon my ignorance, but what’s the problem with USF4?
I’ve heard people complaining about focus, fadc, 1 frame, os and too many chars (!?). Is that it?
I’ve never really had a problem with the game. Every strategy seems to have a counter (though OS and fa cancelling invincible reversals are strong, but not game breaking). It was way worse when unblockabkes were everywhere. Most matchups can be compared to other matchups in terms of how moves are supposed to be punished and what you’re supposed to do on wake-up with some exceptions of course, so having too many characters isn’t an issue for me.
The only thing I would change would be to reduce the input window slightly, and add some sort of alpha counter move. Then finish out the roster with the rest of the alpha and 3S characters, and maybe add the SF1 characters. Then let the game stew for another 5 years.
Good bye to your shitty ass mechanics, scrub helping bullshit that is SF4. Im never ever going back.
