Streetfighter IV

Have not played it properly yet, just a quick run through.

I predict I will have sore thumbs by the end of this weekend though, just like old times.

Street fighter at it's best, arcade mode good, but really short, but can go through with every character. Fairly difficult. Online doesn't work for me at the moment :confused:

Thanks for that. Was in a Game store today, really tempted to buy it but wasn't sure.

Might give it a go some time down the line.

To be fair, I'm really shit at it, managed to complete arcade mode on the default difficulty, which was pretty hard :lol:.

The only reason I got it today was because it was an early birthday present, I wouldn't have bought it on release day personally, Maybe wait a month or so, the price should have dropped by then :)

Is it worth buying?

If you're good at SF, then yes

If you aren't brilliant at these types of game, then it's worth a buy, but probably not just yet

The only reason I wanted this game is to bring back memories of SFII on Megadrive, and it did just that, I was taken back 10 or so years to playing on my brothers megadrive against my brother, and fighting as the "green guy" or the "Fat guy" because they looked dead cool. My brother was obviously the best characters (Sagat, Ryu). I put SFIV Into my 360, see the green guy and fat guy, and I get excited :lol:

Arcade mode is allright.. no real story behind it, other than the first movie which shows you why they're fighting, and the end movie when it shows what happens as a result. You face around 5(?) other fighters before you face your rival. The first 5(?) are quite easy, the rival fight gets quite hard. After you fight your rival you face Seth. Now this guy is difficult. Even on Easiest difficulty, it's still quite a fight. I managed to do it, but my god it was hard to do. Personally, I'm not that good at these sorta games, you go onto arcade mode, the default setting is "Easy", let me tell you, there is nothing easy about it, well not for me anyways. When I first went onto arcade mode, I went for my old pal green guy, on default difficulty, and get absaloutely raped. I decided thats because he's shit, so go and pick fat guy. I won the first fight, but got raped in second fight. Eventually I go through loads of characters untill I found one that suits me, Balrog. I put difficulty onto "Very easy" and it was just right for me, losing some fights etc, but finally I face seth and beat him after about 7 attempts.

Online mode, so many people playing, so little availible games. Make your own match! people join quickly, your sorted. Now let me warn you, online mode is fecking well hard. I've won 5 of 23 fights. So yeah, it's hard. However, it is good. You unlock different "Titles" that you can use to put above your name, you unlock better ones with the more fights you win, or the more times you do certain things. You also unlock "Icons" which follows the same format.

Challenge mode, I've not really started yet.

Overall, its only probably worth picking up, allthough it is hard, and best suited to those who are brilliant, it's still a kick-ass game, and fun as hell.

Plus, it is fecking STREET FIGHTER!

So why didn't you simply buy the HD remix?

Better, In my opinion, but that's probably just with the new graphics

Aye, not sure if the novelty will wear off, but little details such as the dust on the floor look good. The controls feel more responsive as well especially the special attacks etc and characters obviously move smoother on the PS3. Seems it will take a little while to master any individual characters particular moves. Not too impressed with Crimson Viper, el Fuerte or the other new characters initially but yet to do much with them. Crimson should have bigger tits in my opinion, I like tits.

I completed arcade with Crimson, I think shes got quite a good move set. Plus, she has tits, not big tits, not small tits either, but they still are tits.
 
I've finished arcade mode on medium! I'm well pleased :D

I didn't even think about changing the difficulty on my first play through, I just kept it on Medium and figured how hard can it be? 40 minutes later and about my 10th attempt at beating Seth I realised!

Most annoying boss I've ever fought. I'm sticking the game on Easiest now to unlock the rest of the characters :lol:
 
Is Ken supposed to be a blank? I finished the arcade mode on easiest with him but didn't unlock anyone with him, although I did with Ryu.
 
i paid £28.99 i think from shopto

i wish you could save during arcade mode, i cant beat sagat at the moment
 
what the hell is wrong? I finish the arcade mode but it won't unlock other characters? maybe you have to play medium?
 
Only certain characters unlock the hidden characters. So far I've unlocked Sakura with Ryu, Cammy with C. Viper and Fei Long with Abel.

I love playing as Cammy, I tend to do well using her against the endless Ken/Ryu/Akuma players you come up against online.

The default difficulty is easy, you have to turn it up for medium :D
 
Unlocking characters:

1. Akuma: After unlocking Sakura Kasugano, Dan Hibiki, Cammy White, Fei Long, Gen, and Rose. First finish the arcade mode (on any difficulty) with a character. Then fight Akuma on arcade mode, to do that get at least 2 perfects, 2 ultra combo finishes (no more) before defeating Seth, and you can’t lose any matches nor use a continue when you die. Beating Akuma will unlock him.
2. Cammy White: Finish the arcade mode with Crimson Viper. That will unlock her.
3. Dan Hibiki: Finish the arcade mode with Sakura Kasugano. That will unlock him.
4. Fei Long: Finish the arcade mode with Abel. That will unlock him.
5. Gen: Finish the arcade mode with Chun-Li. That will unlock him.
6. Gouken: After unlocking Akuma, Sakura Kasugano, Dan Hibiki, Cammy White, Fei Long, Gen, and Rose. First finish the arcade mode (on any difficulty) with Akuma (and some say Ryu as well). Then fight Gouken on arcade mode, to do that, get at least 2 perfects and 3 ultra combo finishes before defeating Seth, and you can’t lose any matches nor use a continue when you die. Beating Gouken will unlock him.
7. Rose: Finish the arcade mode with M. Bison. That will unlock her.
8. Sakura Kasugano: Finish the arcade mode with Ryu. That will unlock her.
9. Seth: Finish the arcade mode with all the other characters. That will unlock him.

You sure? Could have sworn I left it as is. It was Medium I played either way as I got the trophy for it, I won't be playing it on anything higher than Easy for a while now after that torture! Seth is a dick.
 
Just played this a few hours ago. What an absolutely nostalgic game. Really brought back some good memories. Its the same gameplay as SF II, but the graphics are absolutely stunning. If you grew up playing this game, it is a must buy.

Old characters not in it? I don't get what you mean, but the old characters from the original SF that ARE in SF IV are as follows:

Ryu
Ken
ChunLi
Guile
Zangief
Sagat
Bison
Vega
E.Honda
Blanka

I'm sure there are a few more that I'm forgetting, but yea most of them are in this game. Fantastic game this.

Out of interest, does anyone actually use Zangief?
