Street Fighter IV Comments by Simon Parkin

Awesome game I agree with the Seth hating.
How dare they put someone hard to beat at the end of the game,
I tried to beat him with Ken yesterday the first round is tedious,
the second is furious and the third I get him down to the wire then he ultra fucks me James Blunt,
5 hours no win loser am I.

p.s wooped him with Ryu 3rd time.

I'm really enjoying this since i got this yesterday! Best thing since the last massive bone i dug up.

I do have a concern though that I hope someone might help me with. Can you have 2 profiles logged in for same-system versus play? It seems my partner isnt getting any Gs or anything, despite being signed in to her account (the main menu has my profile on it).

I have just made a purchase of SF4 based (almost) solely on this review. 'Almost', because I have played a few SF series' over the years going back to SF 2 SCE on the Sega Megadrive.

Am I stupid or something, making a purchase decision based on a single review, from a gaming site I have only just found? Perhaps. It is certainly not because I'm suckered over the massive 10/10 score, I don't trust games scores that much, especially after being a regular reader of Gamespot and IGN.

No, I made the decision based on two things:
1st - The authors' style, knowledgeable and seemingly honest discourse, was refreshing and at times humorous.
2nd - Via a Google search, I came across a blog, where some guy wrote a review for Eurogamer just to 'give the guys at Eurogamer a hand'. Now how many people do you know would do that for a bunch of people you don't know?

And this is my first comment on the site.

Seth is a twat of the highest order. Just not fun in any way to fight him.

Think I'll be unlocking everything on Easiest and then never touching Arcade Mode again.

IN-DE-STRUCTABLE!

Sorry I love the intro tune, it's very befitting to Street Fighter, a franchise that is cheesy in itself and Capcom aren't afraid to show it.

Listen to it a few times, it WILL grow on you!

seth was a really REALLY bad idea!
who the fuck came up with that?

@ tinners

"Yeah sorry well spotted I should of added "the HD treatment" in there! I also heard MvC2 is coming to live, whether it's spruced up or not I don't know tho"

Don't think so mate (MVC2) its prolly just gonna be smoothed over like most conversions etc. As for Third Strike if the net code is anything like HD Remix ill get it cos the x box version on live is laggy as hell. Providing capcom decide to release it again.

Still no stick, sources say June now, get ready for a butt fucking UK :(

@ tinners

'Still no stick, sources say June now'

Really? Where did you hear that???? Ive got mine on order too from that shag sack Dave at gameseek and got the same email as you..... Havent heard since.... Who told you June??

"How this game is praised so highly I will never know.

It doesn't even give you proper button lay outs, and keeps refering to soft kick, hard kick blah blah blah. Im not some hardcore fighting nerd, I just want to have fun and play a game without dedicating my life to reading the manual to pull off some cool moves. "

This.

+1 more to the Seth haters - they made the same mistake with DOA4. Stick a shiny end boss onto Arcade mode to really piss everyone off.

10/10 you must be joking. 6 or 7 from me. This game is so noob-unfriendly it's unreal, I've managed to do the first 3 challenges with about 4 of the characters...

Just got the game yesterday, and I'm mighty unimpressed.

New characters suck (except Gouken)
Gameplay is too slow...
Zangief's banishing flat takes too long to come out
Chun Li has been ruinned
Timing just seems way off...
Challenge ode is ridiculous (Strong punch to hadoken? I've done it a hundred times!!! why won't it count?)

It is growing on me, but to me, these are some serious flaws, I can see myself going back to HD Remid and Alpha 3

Has anyone noticed that when you fight Blanka in Street Fighte IV you're only fighting Brazilians? That's racist.

This game is very very good its my first time playing it completed it all ready 9/10

Worst Cammy since Super SF2.

Worst Cammy???? I love her in this!

Love the game, especially since the last update.

Seth is a (insert insult here) - agreed, however easy once you figure him out.

Online play rules!
