Street Fighter is one of the best known and easily identifiable franchises in the gaming industry, let alone for fighting games. It holds history as one of the first major arcade fighting-game successes, has a main character about as identifiable as Mario or Master Chief, and boasts an absolutely terrible movie featuring Raul Julia (who was awesome). It's for all those reasons and more that Super Street Fighter 4 is a necessity for the gaming industry, let alone mainstream gamers.
Fighting games are a damn tough genre to break into, so much to learn from characters and combo systems to the small intricate details of each title. It can all be a bit overwhelming so I am here to help you to get gud at fighting games!
Actually, the article is pretty good (IMHO) although I personally have never really liked pure fighting games. I do however like the Souls and Bloodborne series and am quite reasonable playing them although I could "git bttr". 😉
I swear by Injustice being the most accessible fighting game out there. Play Injustice!
Injustice is a very accessible fighting game, It takes the mechanics of MK9 and expands on them in interesting ways. I would say Injustice and Mortal Kombat are among the more accessible.
Yyyyyyyyyyyyyyeeah. I need to do ALL THE THINGS on here lol Minus the salty, I've never been that guy when it comes to video games.
Maybe these myths are a way of injecting some mystery and fascination into games that we’ve become so familiar with. Perhaps we’re desperate to recapture how we once felt when first playing through them; deluding ourselves into believing that there’s more to experience – even though deep down we know we’ve seen it all.
Alternatively, there’s the reality that growing up, we were just a lot more susceptible to rumours and hoaxes than we are now. Yeah, that’s probably it – there’s no way these things would fly today. Everyone knows the alien in GTA V’s forest is real anyway.
Over the years, the Street Fighter series has introduced some great characters to it's collection of fighters. Here are some of Street Fighter's best characters.
I wish most of the games I played were given as good a treatment as SSF4 seems to be getting.
Kinda interesting take on it.
This series has always gotten too much of a free pass over the years, IMO. Flowchart Kens still doing the same moves from the same unbalanced move set from 20 years ago is not my idea of a good time, or something that deserves its legendary "God's gift to fighting games" status. I'm sure I'll get pummeled with disagrees for saying that, but whatever. It is what it is.
Guilty Gear > Street Fighter all day long.
Don't want to argue with that statement, but I would bet more people have heard of Mortal Kombat than Street Fighter. Only because of the controversy that surrounded that title. I mean, it is the reason the ESRB was formed in the first place. That is a huge deal. Probably the biggest impact a game could ever claim. And Ryu or Ken, Guile, whoever, is nowhere near as identifiable as Mario. I will argue that all day long.
