Almighty Approved^© 9.7/10

If Soul Calibur IV is Kobe, than Street Fighter IV is Lebron. Easily top 5 fighters of all time, SFIV is surprisingly polished and well done. The game has a level of production never before seen in an SF game. It takes itself just as seriously as SC, but at the same time it doesn’t and that’s the great difference. It succeeds at simulating the fun and competition of the arcade as much as a console game can.

All the same moves and tactics are here, but the movements and controls are way crispier and move with a certain weight to them. Now there is more parity in the tiers and the roster is way more balanced than before. Unlike SC, where there is a major difference between higher and lower tired guys. So for the dudes like Good who use lower tiered characters like Blanka, you’ll realize that you’ll be way more effective than ever before (not against Almighty though).

Styles make fights and this is more apparent than ever, guys fight more toward they're respective discipline. Zangief forces you to fight from a distance, cause he gets reverses at will like a real wrestler. Balrog fights in short counter bursts and angles for position like a real boxer. This has always been the case, it’s just much more evident now. The new fighters are also well done, deep and look great (except for Nasty Rufus who is a total clown but fights well). They all fit in and fill the gaps left in the overall roster.

The AI is tough and smart this time around, BS’ing on the harder levels will get your ass handed to you with yams and greens!!! The trophies, custom soundtracks, full stat-tracking a video capturing is the cherry on top. All in all Capcom actually pulled it off and gave us a truly current-gen SF that delivers on every level and exceeded expectations. The game is flying off the shelves here and Japan so expect to see some more resurrected Capcom fighter in the future.

The game is awesome. Lee got OWNED tonight. Until he unlocked Cammy and then it went all downhill from there.

Question... did they have to make her half-naked??? And is it necessary that when you're fighting against her the first thing you see when the fight starts is her naked ass?? LMAO I couldn't stop laughing long enough to play.

How's the online play? Any lag...server issues?

~Goodz~

Not at all it even tells you how good a connection is

She just looks uncomfortable to me. That's why she kicks ass... she's in a rush to take that s*** off.

g-r-o-s-s you're vile...

I played last night...I brought out my old school favorites Blanka & Vega...

The graphics are clean and the movments are pretty crisp.

I like you can play your own music.

I'll play some more this weekend, to give my analysis.
