I want to say that this should be a sequel to the latest EX, not the true Street Fighter series, but I won't. I liked EX, it was just a very different feeling game from the 2D Street Fighter games. But to be fair, Street Fighter III was also a very different feeling game from the rest of the series.
The culprit with SFIII and EX was too many frames of animation in between moves, which slowed things up a bit in my opinion. But I guess that is unavoidable now. Making less frames of animation in order to preserve the feel of an almost 20 year old game in this day and age is unacceptable, and us old school SFII gamers just need to accept this.
Like my dad (or whoever) accepting that the frame of my 2006 Mustang isn't made out of pure steel and iron like his 1967 Mustang. Being made out of fiberglass bring a whole new element to the car, good and bad, and that's just the way it is. Times are a changin'. At least we have the HD 2D version of SFII coming out soon. I'll still play and enjoy SFIV as well though.

Character art's a little screwy, but the action looks good.

Damn, has it been that long. I must still have the VHS one and 2 dvd's of the movie, one of them the latest that has came out, the Uncut, Uncensored, Unleashed dvd.Kintaro said:
And the SFII V series I did not like, I mean, Ryu and Sagat, buttbuddies in jail, that's just wrong.
I think it still holds up to the other anime/cartoons that are outthere.jett said:

That and create a fighter/character is enough to waste a couple of hours on it.

One thought: after considering it a while, I think a lot of people might be misreading Ono's comments about fan base. I suspect he is not reiterating over and over that he wants to make SFIV purely for the old fans of SF2 from its heyday. There's a subtle difference; he keeps saying he wants to get back to /what made/ SF2 popular in the first place. While that might automatically draw some old fans back in, should he succeed, I get the idea that the thought is to make a contemporary game that puts old fundamentals front and center to reintroduce them to the world at large.
Which is not to say that it's going to work out for certain; I merely think that's probably what the guy is trying to get at. People like Ono and Capcom USA have got to obviously realize the arcade scene is not what it used to be, what effect the old environment had on SF2's popularity, etc. I don't really think they'd go around believing they can turn gaming back to 1992 with the release of SFIV.

Jirotrom said:look at this... Ken starts a fireball but its blocked so he cancels it before leaving himself open for punishment... excitement level just rose a couple notches
I did like that--it reminds me of Makoto canceling her Hayate to fake people out. Wonder if it's that easy to do in SFIV.
Footage looks nice and vibrant like old SF. I just hope they keep working on the animation to make it smoother/more fluid.

I've watched the show now a couple times.
Here's why I have faith :
- Capcom isn't stupid. They know they have the opportunity to re-birth Street Fighter to a new generation. Us 20-30 yrs that grew up in the arcades with quarters on the machine waiting our turn want something that takes into account our dedication to the game at that time and now. I think they're addressing that by tweaking the reversals that IMO got out of hand in SF 3rd Strike.
- The Art. While I don't so much care for the rough edges of the art at this time, it's a bold step in taking fighting games to the next level. I think the character design is a bit more understated than in previous games and hopefully by the release they'll have proportions of the characters are done right. Mind you the game is probably at least 9-12 months from being released so they still have a lot of work to do. Also 3D environments is about the only thing that SF4 and EX have in common. I agree with the comments of EX style of gameplay and it need not apply here. Bits and pieces... maybe... and that's being nice. I'm hoping though for some interaction with the environment as well but we'll see.
- The gameplay. Old school Street Fighter meets new day ideas. I can honestly say I cannot wait to play the demo, beta, final game because it just looks fun. I popped my SF annv. game in last night and played around with both versions and I actually didn't like it after seeing what's coming up in SF4. The ideas of canceling a move and changing up the gameplay is a brilliant idea that if done right is going to make for some very interesting matches both offline and online.
- Online. I think Capcom is going to blow the lid off the gaming world by introducing some revolutionary ideas such as : Create a tournament (IE World Warrior Tournaments) both gamer created and Capcom created, pick your rank (meaning if you're a n00b, you can play in the n00b arena, if you're godlike you can play in the expert zone... etc) or played non-ranked matches or ranked matches depending on your mood. I believe they will add bonus outfits, costumes, stages etc. all tied to online play vs. microtransactions to encourage people to play online; They most likely will have something like Gotham TV where you can hop on and watch the current top fighters battle it out, I also expect lobbies and custom game types (possibly) to be a big draw. Basically everything that we can expect, Capcom is thinking of integrating into this product and will most likely support the product long after it's release on the consoles.
So there's my 2 bits. can't wait to see more!
