This is the year of streetfighter, this game will only get better with downloadable content. What more can i say.
Gameplay: Ex focus moves,Combos, cancel moves, all your characters are back, the new characters add a nice feel, training mode, challenge mode, shietons of unlockables, online play, incoming downloadable expansions, tournaments, competition,etc etc etc
Music: I love the remix of all the rounds, They need to add more.
Graphics: 3d Anime style, flashy, awsome super move animations and camera effects to let you know your opponent got owned hard.
Controls: the game can be easy, once you do challenges you start learning that this game can get more and more complicating to chain combos. Your fingers will feel as if you are mashing but you are not because the moves get that complicating you cannot afford a 1 second delay. once you get it down welcome to advance. You will probably spend hours on the training mode.
Story: game comes with in game anime, what more can you ask for a prologue and an ending to tell the story. THIS IS THE WAY FIGHTING GAMES SHOULD BE NOW NOT Drawings with words.
p.s: seth is not overpowered like one of the reviewers says, i beaten him on hardest mode, and I also beaten players who use him. The kid is just bad
Heres the thing about street fighter online. Theres tons and tons of different players out there who play thier style
-Mashers: you cannot tell wtf is going to happen, unpredictable offensive
-Offensive players: they lack defense
-Jumpers- They jump and attack your ass nonstop
-Combo Executioner- They kick your ass, with style
-Balancers: thier defense and offensive are evened out, a potential threat.
-Ex move freaks, They spam ex after kicking your ass over and over
-Special move freaks They take hits just to pull special moves on you and unleash thier true fury afterwords.
-Turtlers- They spend thier skills in blocking ALL YOUR MOVES.
-Cheesers/only cares about rank/ nonskills: they rig thier games for 30 seconds, 1 round, give you a couple of hits, and this adds to thier Battlepoints, or they disconnect on you if they are losing since the rank they have is as important as their genital, Avoid these players.
Beginners: you can cheese simple moves with timing, and kick ass
Advance: you can cheese some, pro some, kick some ass
Pros: your hand, thumbs, fingers are sore like you had some happy hours way too long, but you can kick anyone ass and only the ones who are at your level can beat you, a beginner can sometimes luck it and cheese you if they try really hard while an advance player will scratch you.
(Note) this is all i have for now, THERE IS A TON MORE STYLE OUT THERE WHICH IS WHY IT MAKES THIS GAME SO DIVERSE AND COMPETITIVE, YOU MUST HAVE THIS, I NEVER SPENT SO MUCH EFFORT ON A STREET FIGHTER GAME SUCH AS THIS, THERE ARE TONS OF TOURNAMENTS OUT THERE TOO,
STREET FIGHTER HAS LIVED UP TO ITS HYPE.
