I know that I am totally going to get backlash from this, but Snake you are constantly bashing street fighter IV and now you are already starting on this. Some of us have played since the arcade days of Street Fighter 2 and we are still playing today. I don't know about anyone else but I personally love Street Fighter IV and have been playing every iteration of it since its launch. I still am playing it until this day. It doesn't look exactly like IV, but seeing as how you do not play IV you wouldn't know anyway. It looks like a mixture of a few Street Fighter games with the inspiration being drawn in many different areas. If you don't like it, don't play it, but please stop bashing the game because it doesn't look like a particular style that you enjoy. I personally think it looks amazing and the art style looks a good bit different then IV. It looks much more realistic, but retains the style of the series. If you want something ultra realistic there are plenty of 3d fighting games out there for you to play.
End Rant.
