If someone were to walk up to me and ask what fighting game they should buy, my answer would be Super Street Fighter IV. In standard Capcom fashion, the company has updated a celebrated fighter, in this case Street Fighter IV, and added a whole pile of features and playable characters to make a improved product. With a bigger online suite and a bunch of other tweaks, this is the better version of Street Fighter IV, meaning it's one of the best fighters around. Because Street Fighter IV's mechanics are well known at this point, the question of whether or not you really want to pick this up comes down to the new content it offers. There aren't any major changes to the basic fighting system. There's still the Super Combo Gauge that lets you pull off EX moves and supers. The Revenge Gauge lets you smack opponents with Ultras, of which there are now two per character. These give you more of a reason to go back and test out the original 25-member cast of Street Fighter IV (all included here), because Abel now has a delayable grapple Ultra and Guile can toss a gigantic Sonic Hurricane.Read full review
I was excited to get this game due to the mix of fighters from the Alpha, II, III series as well as a few new characters. The flashiness of the Ultra combos is quite nice and the 3D rendering of the characters is quite detailed. The controls are classic Street Fighter. They say Super Street Fighter IV has fixed the a lot of the imbalances from Street Fighter IV but it seems to me that there still are some inbalances yet to be corrected. Overall I'm enjoying the experience with old faves and look forward to loving the new additions.
Already strong in the fighting genre, Capcom creates yet another fantastic game in the Street Fighter series. Like every game from before, SFIV has some old favorites as well as some cool new characters in the roster each with their own story, personality and of course their own style of combat and techniques. The SUPER edition has greatly improved on the online feature and certainly improves many more things in the game. Capcom just doesn't know how to make a bad game.
If you’re like me, the moment the announcement of Super Street Fighter IV came out, you had a mix of excitement and concern. The excitement came at the possibility of a great game getting some tweaks and bonuses and being even better. The concern was mostly from those who grew up in the 90’s playing one new edition of Street Fighter II after another. Back then, tacking on “Super” and adding a couple characters warranted another release. Thankfully it’s not the 90’s and this new “Super” edition of Street Fighter IV goes much further to advance the series than adding a couple characters. For those who picked up the original Street Fighter IV last year, the biggest issue was the online component. Everything else was solid. The graphics were great and showed innovative artistic direction. Chun Li’s thighs were considered especially artistic by many fans. Most importantly, SFIV hit consoles with a solid combat engine. So what’s in place here and what has been fixed? Also, is it worth forking over another forty bucks? SSFIV brings a lot to the table including ten new fighters which rounds the grand total of combatants up to thirty-five. Another benefit of these fighters (old and new) is that they’re all available right from the start. So don’t think you’ll have to start from scratch and endure hours of play to make everyone available. They’re yours to choose from right away. The new characters come in a nice and balanced variety as well. Fans of the series will love heading into battle with classic fighters like the speedy Ibuki from SFIII and tough and bulky T. Hawk from SFII as much as new entries like Juri and the oil-bandit himself Hakan. In addition to the new (and reintroduced) characters, the original lineup from Street Fighter IV has been tweaked a little to offer some better balance to each of them in SSFIV. Some of the characters might feel a little weaker in their attacks, but move slightly faster, or the complete opposite. Despite these tweaks, everything feels “right”. That is to say that while the gameplay in the original SFIV felt great, this time around does feel more balance. Speaking of gameplay, that’s been tweaked as well as to accompany the upgrades to the characters. Players now have an additional Ultra attack to choose from which delivers that devastating blow to finish off your opponent. Needless to say, if you liked the way the original felt, you’re going to feel right at home with the upgrades and find them to be welcome additions instead thinking they’re pointless. Besides some old characters coming back, another popular Street Fighter feature has returned – Bonus Stages! Once again you get to beat the hell out of a parked car as the timer ticks away. The classic falling barrels stage is also back and both are an absolute blast. Challenge and Training also return, but as you can tell, we’re most excited about punching cars. There’s just something so appealing about that. The biggest change, and one that’s gotten the most buzz, is of course the new multiplayer modes. While new characters and gameplay tweaks are nice, the new multiplayer component makes Super Street Fighter IV worth buying. Endless Battle and Team Battles both bring a lot to the table. You can play as a team of up to 4 players each and compete for a trophy in Team Battles which is pretty cool. The most impressive mode however, is the Endless Battle mode which basically puts you right into an arcade in the 90s. with all these options, PICK IT UP!!!Read full review
With all the acclaim out there, there isn't much more I can say that will do this game justice. For all the reviews that gave this game a 9 or more, they were right. I Loved it. Can’t wait to play Super Street Fighter IV this coming spring. The game also let's you prioritize whether or not you want it to look for the most stable connection for those jump in matches, which makes the online great. In the end, great job Capcom. As you get into the game. It's it truly worth the money, I can't up it down. If you like Street Fighter or fighting games in general, get this game. Even if you don't care for the series or the genre, this time around, you are more than likely to find something you like about this game that will make invest serious hours into it.
