]]> <![CDATA[Street Fighter IV - Shadaloo Represent!]]> @UmeShoryu: Wow, thanks! Sagat's been one of my faves ever since I played as him in SFA2. I was blown away by the fact that his Tiger Blow was now a 7-hit special move (with Fierce, anyway), as I hadn't played anything newer than SSFII at that point.

It's nice to know that Tiger Genocide is in. :)

]]> <![CDATA[Street Fighter IV - Shadaloo Represent!]]> @UmeShoryu: I care. Ever paid any attention to Soul Calibur and Darkstalkers storylines? Sure Darkstalkers you have to dig for information on the story but once you find out what the heck is going on it seems pretty awesome, in a creepy kind of way. I will agree with you on Dead or Alive storyline though because it's normal until you face the final boss and you're saying "WHAT THE HELL IS THAT SUPPOSE TO BE?!"

]]> <![CDATA[Street Fighter IV - Shadaloo Represent!]]> @UmeShoryu:

The part at the end of the video where Sagat picks up the guy by his head and gives him a couple of knees to the body is oh so classic.

I have a feeling that Akuma and the new challengers will be making an appearance in a play test soon. Any other new characters will probably come out when the "Super" or "Turbo" version of SF4 comes out. You know how Capcom does it.

]]> <![CDATA[Street Fighter IV - Shadaloo Represent!]]> Are you tired of having your "Tiger Knee" stuffed? Is your "Tiger Uppercut" just not 'cutting' it? Try following the lead of Muy Thai master Sagat and switch to "Tiger" brand fighting shorts - the brand with "Tiger" on the band - and unleash your, well, you know.

]]> <![CDATA[Street Fighter IV - Shadaloo Represent!]]> Who cares about storyline in fighting games? Brawl's Subspace Emissary storyline was horrible but people still bought it. This isn't a JPRG where a strong storyline tends to make up for turn-based menu driven gameplay.

I've said it before, the cover art for fighters sell more copies than whatever storyline is featured in it.

I don't see complaints that Tekken 6 is a rehash of Tekken 5. Same for Dead or Alive, or King of Fighters, or Soul Calibur.

The bosses from SF2 are back because they're iconic. Not including them is like not putting Mario or Link in Smash Bros. Ask any casual gamer if they remember Ryu, Guile and M. Bison. Then ask them if they know who Gill, Rose and Necro is.

The fact that SF4 uses EX attacks, dashing, two button throws, revenge meter and saving attack separates it from SF2. According to testers, the game plays closer to SF3 minus parries, and even that statement isn't entirely accurate.

]]> <![CDATA[Street Fighter IV - Shadaloo Represent!]]> Super Street Fighter II Turbo 3D Remix.

yeah, theyre going to add the "new challengers" from super, and the demon from super turbo and call it a day. so far, the new folk have failed to impress (although i will of course
reserve final judgment until i get a hand on), and i wasnt a big enough fan of II to get extremely excited about seeing them in 3D, especially with these horrible faces theyre giving them. They should have outsourced the game to gamer republic, not dimps, and hired Akiman to do the charac designs.

oh and just as the fellow sf nerds mentioned, vega died 14 years ago.

]]> <![CDATA[Street Fighter IV - Shadaloo Represent!]]> I see fellow nerds that know way too much about SF are wondering why Bison is shown alive.

]]> <![CDATA[Street Fighter IV - Shadaloo Represent!]]> i agree with you nac honestly i wish it was going more of the anime style i loved from the vs and alpha series. i am done with the street fighter 2 look. but most people dont want change most people will accuse capcom of being to this or that either way they go. the only thing they can do is just make street fighter 2 world warrior, champions, turbo, hyper,dash ,grand master, challenge x upper the 3d edition.
I have been extremely but the truth is street fighter 2 sold better the alpha capcom is allowing sales to dictate gameplay and art direcion.

dozogovi

]]> <![CDATA[Street Fighter IV - Shadaloo Represent!]]> I would love to see Akuma in this new style. very menacing would be my guess.

yojimbo32

]]> <![CDATA[Street Fighter IV - Shadaloo Represent!]]> I thought I left a comment earlier, but I guess it didn't go through... so here it is again incase anybody cares...

Honestly, I can't see why Capcom is throwing on the number four onto this Street Fighter. Aside from the new visual style, this game looks like a huge step backwards in terms of Third Strike. I know i'm not the only one that thought there might actually be story progression in 4. I seriously couldn't wait to see a whole new roster, full of whole new original chracters. Third Strike also set us up for character development past Third Strike. I know I was completely excited to see what Ryu was gonna be like after Oro's ending.

And c'mon, Capcom as far as i'm concerned went leaps and bounds to aplogize for M.Bison/Balrog by giving us Dudley! IMO, Dudley was the best addition to SF3, and there was nothing like him in terms of boxers in fighting games. And now we got Vega/M.Bison again... After seeing Gill in Third Strike, I was almost afraid to think of how orignal and impossible to beat the new SF4 boss would be... I am seriously hoping that Vega/M.Bison is just some kind of midboss, or less.

So yea, I guess i'm currently a little excited for Street Fighter EX4, but I'm drooling over KoF XII.

IDS3

]]> <![CDATA[Street Fighter IV - Shadaloo Represent!]]> Sorry, but after seeing the screenshots of Bison/Vega, I had to make an account and say something about this... not that anyone cares...

After playing Third Strike and hearing about the 4th SF finally coming out, I was hoping to see a totally new experience, and hopefully progress the street fighter story a little bit. After playing third strike, I was seriously expecting Ryu to have some kind of new play style, because of his supposed training with Oro. I couldn't wait to see more of Alex, a whole new original character that totally didn't suck.

I mean c'mon, Third Strike gave us Dudley! The ultimate apology for the tragedy that was M.Bison/Balrog. And most importantly, I wanted to see a final boss that would be more rediculous than Gill.

After brining back so many of the primary characters from SF II, I can't really believe that capcom is even naming this game SF 4. Aside from the new 3D modeling and all that, there doesn't seem to be anything that warrents this game be given a number beyond 3.

KoF XII however... can't wait!

IDS3

]]> <![CDATA[Street Fighter IV - Shadaloo Represent!]]> I just would like to say.

PSYCHO CRUSHER!!!!!!!

God I cant wait for this to drop on my PS3. I miss the days of standing infront of the television too damned excited cause I was about to beat Bison with all the stars maxed out on difficulty. Glory Days Gaming for the Win.

Derigor

]]> <![CDATA[Street Fighter IV - Shadaloo Represent!]]> @Sinharvest: Agreed. If they add tose two to the mix then I think the roster is solid.

Akuma is the final boss and Dan is a hidden character, like reptile used to be.

yashichi8bit

]]> <![CDATA[Street Fighter IV - Shadaloo Represent!]]> @Dang-fuzz: You sir, are right on the money. Capcom's playing it TOO safe.
I just want to see it go in a different direction - at least artistically. If the gameplay is going to be largely the same with a few new moves thrown in, which is what Capcom has been saying, I'd like to see the characters at least change and grow since the last game. Otherwise it really IS just another Street Figher EX. Throwing in new characters won't stop the general stale feeling these images are giving to the public.

I loved Chun Li's track outfit in Alpha,for example, and it gave us a good sense of story progression when we compared her to what she would then look like in SF2. [img401.imageshack.us]

She still played like Chun Li. You could still identify her as the same character. But visually you could tell that something happened between this game as the last.
Yes, the characters are iconic. But it is BECAUSE they are iconic that it's very very easy to change the subtleties of their look and still be instantly recognizable. Hell, Mickey Mouse's design has changed an almost countless number of times, and he remains one of the most recognized characters world-wide. I don't see why Capcom is so stubborn. I think a HUGE factor is the company being terribly wary of the reactions of it's fans, and believing that replicating Street Fighter 2 on modern hardware and a few new characters thrown in will be good enough.

I wanna see Guile in some Urban camo BDUs. Maybe with the new digital design they've got going now. If Zangief's a professional wrestler, I want to see him in some outrageous pro-wrestling getup (I mean he IS gay, right?), or something you'd see a modern WWE star wear. Give Dhalsim some new designs painted on his head. Vega can keep the same mask and have new pants with an elaborate Spanish pattern. You don't need MUCH.

sascha23

]]> <![CDATA[Street Fighter IV - Shadaloo Represent!]]> Capcom needs to step up even more. Is it too much to ask for new costumes for these decade old characters? For Christ's sake.
And if this story is between 2 and 3, then who won the 2nd tournament? Why is Bison back? Didn't he get killed by Akuma? Didn't Sagat and Ryu have there final duel in 2? Why am I asking you guys?

futurebiblehero

]]> <![CDATA[Street Fighter IV - Shadaloo Represent!]]> @Dang-fuzz: That, on the other hand, I agree with. While I pretty much dedicated my entire life to SF2 in fifth grade, I somewhat wish they would've moved a little forward in that regard. SF3 was excellent, arguably the best 2D fighter ever made, and in some ways this is yet another instance of it not receiving the credit it's due.

Jnas

]]> <![CDATA[Street Fighter IV - Shadaloo Represent!]]> Absolutely gorgeous. Those professing their disgust are generally either not familiar with the Street Fighter art of the past (they've always had crazy proportions) or just being a curmudgeon and angry that it's not 2D.

I think the animation has looked a bit stiff so far, but they've nailed the models. That's the best transition from 2D to 3D we'll likely see for some time.

futurebiblehero

]]> <![CDATA[Street Fighter IV - Shadaloo Represent!]]> @Dang-fuzz:

I think most people prefer it if the characters stayed closed to their SFII roots, myself included.

LittleBigPlaneteer

]]> <![CDATA[Street Fighter IV - Shadaloo Represent!]]> I thought Bison died in Street Fighter 2...why is he back now?

I mean, if he's just an unlockable character, okay, that's fine, but they can't just resurrect him after his stated canon perma-death without a damn, damn good reason.

]]> <![CDATA[Street Fighter IV - Shadaloo Represent!]]> I like that they're bringing everyone back from SF2, but why do they look EXACTLY like they did in SFII? Seriously, between all the SF games there have been pretty serious changes in custumes, hair, whatever. But everyone here is just a 3D carbon copy from an ancient game. Why so boring?

Dang-fuzz

]]> <![CDATA[Street Fighter IV - Shadaloo Represent!]]> Yeah, what's up with some pics not being cell shaded? This art style works a lot better with those outlines... I assume it's just because it's a work in progress, but I'm not sure why they would release them like that.

]]> <![CDATA[Street Fighter IV - Shadaloo Represent!]]> I'm sorry but Raul Julia did the best job in the entire movie. Remember, to him, it was a Tuesday. Anyway, for a movie that bad, he pretty much shone the whole way through

And in regards to this game, this is just Capcom pushing street fighter II and it's characters down my throat again. I very much prefered the Street Fighter III cast and gameplay mechanics. I'm very disappointed to see that there is no effort put into mentioning anything about that game, and that this is just Street Fighter II-2
