Super Street Fighter IV and its Past

Occasional Pre-Show
Okay, so here we go again with CAPCOM redoing games from the Street Fighter series. Street Fighter II, Street Fighter II Champion Edition, Street Fighter Hyper Fighting Turbo [Or whatever it was called, I always forget really. I have the Anniversary Collection for PS2 so thats what I always see.], Street Fighter Alpha, 2, Alpha GOLD, Alpha 3, Alpha 3 MAX [Personal Favorite.], Street Fighter III, 2nd Impact, and 3rd Strike.

[Quick History Lesson Here, feel free to comment on this as well.]

Now back in those days, we HAD to have remakes due to no DLC. I believe they were all necessary as well. Without TURBO, we would not have Akuma. [All bow to Satsui no Hadou or fuckin' die via ShunGokuSatsu-- Fuck all you people who call it Raging Demon.] We wouldn't have Cammy, Deejay, Fei Long, or T.Hawk either. Plus the remakes on SFII, they eventually added Super Combos as well. So all that was necessary IMO.

Street Fighter III came out around the time where arcade games were fallin' off, as well as 2D fighters. [Thanks Tekken. LMAO. I love Tekken don't get me wrong.] If I remember right, they only had Ryu & Ken from the originals. Then in 2nd Impact they eventually added Akuma, Chun-Li and THATS all. The new additions (worth mentioning) were Sean, Makoto, Ibuki, Alex, and Remy. 3rd Strike, I don't really know WHAT they added. Because that's the only one I ever played really. So I'll just state what's known. THey had parrying (Great Technique required.), 3 Different Supers (5 for Akuma; ShunGokuSatsu and his Energy Fist Pound -Cant remember the name, its better then ShunGoku.) and the System that allowed you to make your own "Fighting Style" or whatever. (Sorry I forgot, but it's somethin' with "System" in the name.)

Then Street Fighter IV came out last year. The long awaited return of my favorite fighting game. They added all the classics from the SF2 series as well as several new characters, including Seth... who is on the level of Rugal Bernstein from King of Fighter '94 (Who to THIS DAY I cannot beat.). The game was absolutely spectacular. I can't say enough about it, other then I played it for a year straight and had over 600 wins and only 40 losses. Not to brag, just to be like "Tee-he".

So after THAT, now we have Super Street Fighter IV. Came out today, and I was first in line for in this morning. (Got the SF4 Special Edition Ken Fight Pad as well. Bad ass might I add.) All day, I've played it. Everything about it was well done. The new characters from old games added are great. Makoto, Ibuki, Adon, T.Hawk (Sucks), Dudley(Sucks), Deejay(Meh), Guy & Cody from Final Fight (Meh-Meh). The new characters are 50/50. Hakan, the guy with Oil, sucks major ass. Maybe for some people he'll be good, but not I. Juri however, is the Anti-Cammy (Cammy user here, so I know a counterer when I see one.) and she is badass. I personally will use her all day.

The additions of Online Character Rankings are awesome, whereas last time, you just played with the people and you guessed you were good/great/bad. Now we have rankings for EACH character we use. Awesome.

The mini-games, not a fan, but hey something to do.

Other modes, are the EASIER trials modes. The previous SF4 trials were RIDICULOUSLY HARD FOR NO REASON. But this ones trials, are a bit easier. (Especially with a Tournament Issue Controller.) Some are the same from the previous game, but they're just a TAD easier; still difficult though. Don't get me wrong. There's team battle, and Endless Battle also, I've yet to do either so I'm not sure. Also, they lowered Seth's "Cheat" shit down a bit (Still annoying though.)

So basically, let's hear thoughts? About ANYTHING from ANYTHING I listed. You can mention any Street Fighter I mentioned. Past or present.

Did you like any of the old ones?
-If so, which character? Why?

SFIII: 3rd Strike- Mainly because it had all my favorites, Ken, Akuma, and Ryu. And Sean and Makoto who were my two faves from the game. Gill was a pretty hard boss too, presented a real challenge as well.

Did you enjoy any new characters in the SF4's?
-Who and Why?

Juri: Like I said, she's an Anti-Cammy (Crimson viper was SUPPOSED to be that, but She's not. She's not bad, but I don't prefer her.)

Do you play on gettin' down on Super SFIV?
-If you've already hit it up, who do you enjoy playing as? Any new characters?

Obviously I do since I have it. Characters- Cammy, Akuma, Ken, Juri, Blanka, Bison. Why do I play as these? Too many reasons. They're just my people. lol

Favorite Supers/Ultras? ((I'm just gonna name the ones from the new game.))

-Metsu Shoryuken by RYU- Just WATCH as Ryu takes this fools chin off. Dear God. This is the same move Ryu gave Sagat his scar with. When you see how he does it, you won't be surprised.-

-ShunGokuSatsu by AKUMA- 4 Words; Die One Thousand Deaths. ((Akuma's NEW Ultra in SSFIV SUCKS. A fucking... Helicopter Kick from Hell.))

-CQC ((Cammy Quick Combo)) by CAMMY- A counter Ultra. Meaning, you hit me when I activate this. Cammy's gonna be the Female of 1001 Holds, when she snaps your neck in the end. Very awesome, Very Graphic.

[ I feel like I'm spamming with this, mainly cuz it's 2am, I feel like I'm not givin' enough info, and I just did this cuz I forgot to earlier. So if I am, sorry. So if any of that mentioned is true, my fault. Lol]

So, let's hear from you guys... God I hope I didn't type all this for nothing. LMFAO4REAL!

---Also, if you got 360, Super SFIV, and you wanna fight someone who on his FIRST arcade run beat Gouken on Hardest mode with Cammy, thus earning 4 Achievements for 90GS [Meaning I got all the hardest Arcade achievements in 4 minutes.] Send me you gamertag, always up for a challenge. And no, I'm not really this cocky, I'm just screwin' around with it. Lol---

I loved the Street Fighter 2 series. I ended up getting attached to every single character. That's saying a lot for a fighting game. However, I stopped playing the Street Fighter games after 3. Where were the characters I had played ever since I was a little kid? The only new guy I liked was Alex, other than that I missed the characters from SF2 and Super SF2. SF4 was the "true sequel" I had been looking for because a bunch of the SF2 characters, and a few others such as Dan who came along the way in SF3 and SFA were there as well.

-Who and Why?

I like all of the new characters except for Rufus because his appearance is disturbing and I just do not care for him.

Absolutely. I do not own a PS3 or a 360 yet, but I do plan on playing my friends' copies of it! I tend to play as just about anybody although Ken and Guile were always my favorites. I often just play as someone random, it's fun to mix it up and try out every character at least once.

Favorite Supers/Ultras? ((I'm just gonna name the ones from the new game.))

I don't really have a favorite due to none really sticking out as being more awesome than the others. The Supers are ALL are rather awesome to me.
