It's by no means an exaggeration to suggest that this is up there with the greatest fighters ever made. It's not in the slightest button-mashy like Soul Calibur, it doesn't require the colossal 20 button commands from the likes of Dead or Alive and instead focuses on what's important – simplicity, strategy and fun. Exactly what you need before you begin to master its hidden intricacies.
The Street Fighter series has a long history, but which are the seven best games the franchise has yet offered to gamers?
After Street Fighter II released in in 1991, it caused a fighting game explosion, both in arcades and in home consoles. But, as the decade ended, and arcades were failing, so too were 2D Fighting games. This is how Street Fighter IV completely revitalized the genre.
I'd say Blazblue helped too. Didn't care for Street Fighter 4, but Blazblue was amazing during that time. Sad that the series kind of went downhill after the first 2 or 3 games though.
BlazBlue was the much better, more technical game..and a real 2D Fighting Game after all. But yes, since it was a big name..the characters were still popular and the game itself was good, SFIV indeed helped a lot. However, I am pretty sure the much better-selling Mortal Kombat 9 would have been done without SFIV as well..and that one truly helped to make the fighting game genre in general more popular again.
eyyy max xD
one of the very few streamers i can actually watch without it being cringe and awful ha.
The content of IV was severely lacking when it launched. It got better over time.
In the same interview at EGX 2019 recently, Capcom and Street Fighter producer Yoshinori Ono responded to a fan question asking if there were any plans to bring the fourth or fifth entries in the series to the Nintendo Switch.
they botched SFV so bad, just start over, make a new version with proper single player mode and fully fleshed out with support for all of the consoles this time.
Did you see how Ultra and the Collection sold? We don't need to convince Nintendo of anything. Just put it on the console.PHYSICALLY.
You’re not seeing Street Fighter V come to other platforms besides PC because Sony helped co-fund the game so it’s staying only on PS4 & PC
That doesn't makes sense. Is Nintendo saying that Capcom can't publish the game on the system because it's users don't want the game? if so, that's really stupid of them, because why should they care?
Nintendo isn't saying such things of course.
Capcom shouldn't pass the buck. If they don't want to make more SF games on the Switch, then just say so, and say why.
If they want Nintendo to fund the project, then they are the ones that need to convince Nintendo to give them money.
sweet
Its already coming out?
Yes. Great review, and Cammy's finally back. Day 1 buy.
when is this out????
Edge also reviewed the Arcade version of this game awhile back and gave it a 9/10. In fact, they also said it could very well be one of the finest fighting games ever made! :)
This is my MAG (Most Anticipated Game) and I'm very pleased to hear that it's mostly praise by those who've had plenty of hands-on experience with the game.
