Street Fighter IV

**johnhughthom** · 07-15-2009, 01:36

It was out on consoles a good while ago, February I think. Got my ass kicked too often online, haven't played in ages. Still a good game, normally I hate fighting games and only got this out of Streetfighter 2 SNES nostalgia, but I enjoyed it a lot. My lack of reflexes show through on it though, I only ever really play EB and rpgs so no lightning fast reactions from me.

I was feeling the same and was sorely tempted to buy SF4, but then i found my old SNES in storage and after a little tinkering/cleaning I got the thing up and running. I satisfied my nostalgia the old fashioned way.

A friend has his SNES tucked away somewhere and it gets wheeled out periodically for a Super Tennis session, still the best two player game ever in my view.

I can't deal with SF2 or any of its varients. It has to be at least SF3: 3rd strike.

I'll give you a hoot when I've got the game john, we can throw weak punches and be slow together.

And it will have nothing at all to do with mounting camels...

I thought about getting the game but then decided to just stick with my copy of the Anniversary edition that came out ages ago for the Xbox. Something I didn't like about SF IV was the complete lack of SF III characters, I know that game wasn't popular, but still it would of been cool to see somebody from that game into 3D.

What I am going to buy though is Marvel vs. Capcom II which is comming out at the end of the month via Xbox Live and the Playstation network.

In a related story i just picked up SF4 for PC. gamertag is in my sig so hit me up if you wanna do some games, I gotta warn you though i'm not that great at this game. The timing for the Ultra combos completely eludes me, sometimes i hit it like a pro and other times i just fidget around as if I'm having a psychotic episode.

Oh. And C.Viper is a cheap

Haha.

My friend got back yesterday, hit somewhere between 15th and 30th in the nation. 4 wins and two losses.

You gotta think of it like a joystick. I have my xbox controller hooked up via USB, its a lot easier to get the rotation on a stick than a keypad, but I can't hit it on a stick, but its easy as pie on a xbox controller.
