Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition

Re: Super Street Fighter IV confirmed

actually, SFIV is supposed to occur between SFII and III (don't ask me why)

But regardless, I stand firm on the fact that jailbird Cody has been, and always will be, ridiculous.

Yeah, after I posted that I looked up the timeline and saw that. I guess that makes sense, since Bison is in SFIV and not in SFIII. But, it doesn't really make sense storyline wise. Now, I have to find a plot summary of the Street Fighter series and try to make sense of it all.

Glad they're adding more stages. The India stage is looking good, and I like what I see of the NYC stage.

I'm pretty sure I mentioned this in an earlier post (but I'm not going to bother to check) but I REALLY want some completely revamped music, as the soundtrack to SFIV was probably the weakest aspect of the game. I actually downloaded the SF Alpha 3 soundtrack the other day, and I forgot how awesome it was. SSFIV needs more upbeat tracks like The Road (Ryu's theme) and Prismatic Stars (R. Mika's theme).

I would agree about better music. The really good news is that, "Indestructible" is going bye bye!

I also think the most unfitting music compared to the stage is the Drive In stage.

Are you guys kidding? I think SFIV's soundtrack is the best since the SFII series'. I listen to it on my iphone regularly and I feel the techno/orchestral remixes of the classic themes, as well as the new character themes are spot-on and great to listen to (my only nitpick is that they are reserved only for the "Fight Your Rival" stages.) The regular stage music can be a little generic, but IMO they along with "Indestructible" still blow the unmemorable SFIII's soundtrack out of the water.

I do however agree character specific stages would be great, as long as they have their accompanying themes. Hopefully ???asawa the composer will return to redo the new characters' music. That along with new anime cutscenes, and hopefully a more fleshed-out storyline would make Super SFIV the definitive version; But knowing Capcom, that probably won't happen for at least two more upgraded installments.

BTW, what are our chances for another "Collector's Edition" box set?

No, are YOU kidding?! Indestructible is the gayest song ever to be implemented in a fighting game! The second half of that song is what the theme music SHOULD have been. Not a Japanese boy-band trying to sing tough lyrics with a high pitched voice to a soft beat. I'm surprised Capcom didn't license Justin Timberlake to make a song for the end credits.

I think the chances for another Collectors Edition is very likely. I hope they include a Juri figurine. Of course a complete soundtrack would be nice as well.

Re: Super Street Fighter IV confirmed

I agree in that I thought the same thing about Indestructible the first time I heard it, but I play the game so much, it's actually grown on me. I also like the music-only version that plays during the character select screen. That being said, while I don't think it's all that great to begin with, it's still better than the music in SFIII which wasn't very good.

Re: Super Street Fighter IV confirmed

I wasn't referring to the remix themes on the Special Edition soundtrack disk/"fight your rival" stages; only the standard stage music. I do like the remixed character themes (especially Guile's, Cammy's and Sakura's), but since I only play the online modes now, I rarely get to hear them in battle.

Overall, the stage music is too bland for a fighting game, which was what plagued SFIII. I do think it's better than the SFIII games, but not by much. I really just want a total redo of the music to keep it more upbeat, which should really intensify the fights.

I actually switched Indestructible to its Japanese counterpart so it would sound more like noise, rather than hearing lyrics for that out of place song.

Re: Super Street Fighter IV confirmed

I've haven't been into gaming for the last few years until I got my PS3. Before that, the last system I played regularly (when I was a younger kid) was the Dreamcast. My favorite video game franchise has always been Street Fighter/Capcom fighting games by far, and I own most of the games in some incarnation released between Super Nintendo and PS3.

I used to think I was half-way decent at them too; I've always been pretty successful at the arcade mode, and I beat my friends in versus matches in no time... then I discovered online play for the first time, and realized how utterly horrible I am. I love me some SF, but don't have the time or effort to invest in being that good

I'm just like that. I got to G1 about 2 months back, and I keep getting my butt kicked. Its ridiculous how good come people are. But it's not like I can't anticipate how people are going to play... I know exactly what they're going to do after the first round (whether I win or lose). it's just I don't have the reflexes to react properly.

Re: Super Street Fighter IV confirmed

played tekken 6, king of fighters XII and all seemed stagnant, tame, boring and the same thing as the 1st games years ago

SF4 really put new life into the series and is now unrivalled


ps. tekken 6 was a major disappointment imo

Re: Super Street Fighter IV confirmed

That video showing the new characters was off the hook! Can the excitement get any higher?!!!

Capcom is going to hit a Grand Slam with this one! Hopefully sales will exceed Street Fighter IV.

I wonder how many people that it was going to be Rolento. I know I did.

Re: Super Street Fighter IV confirmed

The video for it was pretty damn cool. Glad I didnt get SF 4 for the PS3. Guy looks awesome and Juri's Ultimate move is nice.

Re: Super Street Fighter IV confirmed

wow that's a lot more new characters than I was expecting. too f'n cool! My SF4 is pretty rusty but will be worked back into form by the time this comes out.

I had a feeling it wasn't going to be Rolento. I mean, who's a Rolento fan nowadays?

Personally I would have liked Rolento over Adon. I think Adon is cool, but Rolento is such a unique character. It would have been nice to see him in 3D.

Re: Super Street Fighter IV confirmed

Im happy guy made it into the game, but codys outfit has to go. Doesnt work for the 3D look. Adon is perfect for the game since sagat is a damn beast!!!!

Rose is my main (akuma second) and love how plays in this game. Hope they give her a nice wake up game in Super, she is sorely lacking it now.

Hopefully Cody's alternate will be his outfit from Final Fight!
