Welcome to the official NeoGAF Super Street Fighter 4 thread! I am your host, the fantastically scrubby Oichi, and with the help of iplaywinner.com's haunts and Raging Spaniard, we are happy to bring you a new thread to replace the official Street Fighter 4 thread, one of the most active threads on NeoGAF for the past year!

Super Street Fighter IV is an upgraded and souped-up version of the multi-million selling Street Fighter IV, released in 2009. Here is a rundown of what is new and improved in Super Street Fighter IV!

New Characters!
4537761669_0e799b5f9c_m.jpg

Ten new characters are rendered faithfully in 3D, with some coming from previous Street Fighter games, and others who are totally new! Did we mention that every character will be selectable from the start? No more having to play through Arcade Mode just to unlock characters!

New Ultras n' More!

Every character in the game now come equipped with two selectable Ultra combos, making it even more important to know your matchups. Some Ultra combos are great against projectile characters, while others are better suited against grapplers. Knowing your character and their strengths is more important than ever! In addition, all returning characters have been tweaked and balanced to make sure that everyone has a fighting chance! Vega players, your time has finally come! Guile players... sorry! Haha.

New Bonus Stages!
4537738165_051c877892_o.jpg

Bringing back one of the most nostalgic parts of Street Fighter are the bonus stages. There are two bonus stages, Barrel Buster and Car Smasher, which appear during Arcade Mode. In Car Smasher, players must destroy a car in the allotted time, while Barrel Buster tests the player's ability to smash as many barrels as possible.

New Online Modes!
4538369560_833cb2bc89_o.jpg

Improving on the 1 on 1 rooms of Street Fighter IV, Super IV introduces a wealth of online options, including Endless Battle (aka Quarter Matches), Team Battle and more! While Ranked Matches are still 1 on 1, every other mode can handle up to 8 players in a lobby at the same time! Also new to the game is the ability to save replays and then broadcast them via the Replay Channel!

PlayStation Official Magazine Australia: 100% -- "Amazing value for the money. This isn't so much SF5 as it is "Street Fighter 4.9". "

MEGamer: 96% -- "In a nutshell, Super Street Fighter 4 offers new characters, great gameplay, amazing value and best of all great replay value. This game is a must have. In the words of Street Fighter “A new Challenger has approached”."

Games TM: 90% -- "To put it bluntly, if you own and loved SFIV, then SSFIV is as important to your mental wellbeing as the oxygen in our atmosphere. This is the ultimate love letter from Capcom, and the perfect fuel to keep the Street Fighter passion alight. "

Official Xbox Magazine: 90% -- "Even though Super Street Fighter IV lacks the impact of its predecessor, it's still engrossing, enthralling, and plain ol' fun."

Game Informer: 90% -- "I put nearly 100 hours into IV, and I can easily see myself pumping dozens more into this update. If you haven't played IV at all, then $40 is an absolute steal for the ultimate version of the best fighting game in recent memory."

I agree. I really want to support this tourney and watch, but the commentators feel like they are dead. I know the can't get to rowdy because of the sponsors but they need to bring some kind of excitement to the matches. Hopefully it will improve when the actual tourney starts.

It's moments like this that remind me that haunts kind of has a point when he goes on about how important colour is to commentary.

Also, having the actual action shunted off to the side is not a good look.
 
Thinking maybe we should update the GT and PSN ID list since I'm sure there are people missing on it since it was last updated.

Cammy can still use her divekick like yun/yang, she just can't use it like rufus anymore, completely different type of divekick. Yun/Yang's divekick are nothing like cammy/rufus divekicks.

Whether it's a nerf or not (this will be determined by how good her new normals are) Cammy is essentially a different character since she won't be having a 50/50 mixup when she's in. She went from being a well-rounded Rufus to a more well rounded Balrog.

I still can't iterate enough how much I hate scrubs complaining about how SF4 is a turtle fest, but at the same time complain about cammy's divekick. Congrats, capcom listened!


Continuing this, yeah.. Yun and Yang do have different dive kicks from the instant ones that Rufus has / Cammy had, but if they're anything like the 3s ones (distance / arc varies by button) they'll still have more control over theirs with less effort than Cammy has to put in.

We'll see how the changes work out for Cammy, but I'm not really interested in a new play style for her.
 
OT3. This game has legs. The community, the rivalries, the one character specialists, the streams & their monsters, the commentary, pad vs stick, markman wuvs kadey, tier moaning, and lag. Can't wait to see what 2011 will bring for Street Fighter and fighters in general.

Missed the Sako-Momochi match.

Momo seemed to have an identity crisis, unless the Rose/Shoto/Viper matchup is that bad.

It'll be interesting to see who wins the free ticket.

Also, GJ to Gamerbee, he's been on a tear of late. Justin Wong, Alex Valle, Tokido, Mago, Sabin, etc are all accomplished players and from Evo to now, he's definitely made a name for himself. The only other player that's shot up so quick is Vangief.

Thanks for the shoutout, but there's an extra 's' on that last word. I'm the only one character specialist that matters.

Cheating? Bullocks. I have a 5 minute finish in Japan.

An Abel player on my FL did cheat every course the day it came out though. 49.54 seconds on each level.
