WOW !!!!
GEM system: Next thing I liked is simplifying the controls (through gems) for beginners, or for ppl who tend to hurt their finger tips a little after 5 hours play :D ... but its not for free coz using a gem sacrifices other stuff... so basically the GEM system is what I like here delivering a FAIR play experience to all players + aiding you during hardcore fights, etc ... maybe a bit complicated for starters but eventually u get the hang of it...
TAG-Team: up is definitely something a street fighter game needed but I never thought it would be that intuitive... tag team simply raises a fight rating 10 fold ... it gives u 10 fold what SF IV has ever done with u but this time with TEKKEN CHARACTERS !!!!!!!!!! How awesome can this get now?!!!
The clashin, dashin, and smackin that occurs through tag team combos etc... reminds me of GOW to be honest :D ... such an EPIC experience that gets ur heart pumping adrenaline out of your eyes !!!!!!!!!
Online play: is smooth no probs. ... with a nice connection its exactly the same as an offline fight (like SF IV) .. but here again the developers are sending a message .. it is a WELL DONE game so... I never saw a game with ONLINE PRACTICING MODE !!!! ... I'm not overdoing it here, but really, every aspect and corner of this game has been thought of putting FANS in front !! and JUST FANS !!
For me, this game is gonna be inside the drive for some time to come... it is highly addictive for me...
It is highly recommended to anyone tried SF IV and enjoyed it... I'm not worried about a newer version (excluding the vita of course which has the same game) coming out soon like super street fighter as this game doesn't leave a character gap with 55 characters !!! Which means its gonna b a fighter to play for some time to come . . .
