Street Fighter IV

Started by searching......145 pages

Fighting versus games are all about a simple control scheme and pulling off different button combinations quickly and easily. Unless you have a game controller for the PC, the keyboard/mouse setup doesn't allow for that, and the controls don't come as naturally to you as an actual game controller would.

You elaborate.

You made the claim, you justify it.

I just did.

You can hook up controllers from the consoles. It's a "Game for Windows" title, so they should work perfectly fine.

The simple manner in which you hold a controller provides easy and natural access to the different buttons available. The keyboard provides a far more awkward setup.

Still the worst platform for it seeing that not every single consumer is necessarily going to have access to one.

The PC is not a console 😛

But yeah, I know what you're saying. These games are made to be played with a joystick/controller, but I've played games that are made for a controller on a keyboard and once I managed to set up a control scheme I liked, and got used to it, it wasn't bad at all.

I think anyone can go out and buy a controller, it's just that not everyone can be arsed. Like me. I'm not going to re-learn how to use one just for one game. It's been literally 10 years since I last handled a joystick.

What was that? 😄

Wrongly quoting someone is a very serious offence I'll have you know.

Not making any sense is even a worse offense, you know.

Street Fighter IV > All other current fighting games, to compete you'd have to go back to Street Fighter III Third Strike.

Having more characters, and having more moves ie Tekken, isn't what makes a more advanced game. Thats like saying Ridge Racer > Mario Kart because it has better graffix!!!!.

SF > Tekken all day long
SF >>>> MK all day long.

Street Fighter is for Men, Tekken is for Boys who think Graphical realism makes a better game, lol, and Mortal Wombat is for Kids.

And the poster above, Go get your Tekken, and leave the SF to the real fighting game Enthusiasts.

Wow.. I think you should step back and look over this post lol.. theres nothing put pointless bashing, and your opinions being played as facts in its entirety

3rd strike will 'only' help you with kara.. thats about it

I've been a fighting enthusiast since shit like karate champ.. and while SF is a good series.. its far from "the manly choice" that you make it out to be

if you want to get down to the nitty gritty of advanced systems.. then you should probably check out guilty gear accent core, or blazblue.. both of these have street fighter beat by a looooooooong shot

-----------------------------

Also... I dont see whats wrong with PC as a platform... the only thing that could go wrong is that you dont have a strong enough GPU/CPU to run it smoothly

sf4 fails at basics now eh?

It's the awkwardness of the keyboard/mouse setup. It forces your hands to be upturned, and the keys aren't located in an as naturally and easily reachable position.

Hahahaha yes it is.

Guilty Gear practically shits on SF and just about any other fighting game.

The gameplay is more advanced than SF, the plot is better, and the characters are waaaaay better.

hmm...lets see a game that has an average of 4 moves per characters, no ground breaking, chain throws, chain moves, no interactive stages, almost no juggles and a roaster of an about 15-20 versus a game that has an average of 60+ moves per charcter, chain throws, chain moves, interactive stages, juggles, a roaster of atleast 20+ characters AND a game that is the highest grossing fighting game franchise of all time.
to say SF s more advanced than Tekken is the sickest, fanboyism i've seen to date.

just keep your tail between your legs and stay lost, Trickster 😬

~Sado

You have absolutely no concept of game mechanics. Interactive stages? Unless this is smash bros, it's entirely irrelevant to whether a game is good or not. Juggles? Really iffy, considering that it's very easy to destroy the balance with that or worse, create infinites. Chain moves/throws? Tekken is hardly the first, nor is it the best. Street Fighter, KOF and the vs. series all have used chain moves and were much better at executing that.

Tekken does not have the depth, simply because there are limits to what you can do. With 90% of the characters, you have to get close to someone and attack. There is no distance game. 20+ characters? Very nice. But......how many of them are really balanced? T4 Jin anyone? 😄 Tekken has a problem with making characters slightly unbalanced and creating guys like Jin or Eddie who are a bit too far above the compedition. Take Steve Fox for example. Against several people in this game, he's garbage. Balrog is how you do a boxer right. Despite using only his fists for the most part, he is still viable at the highest levels.

4 moves? So you don't acknowledge the fact that every move has 3 variations, when half of your 60+ move list is just standard moves, like mid kick, high kick, low punch, etc. Street Fighter is far from a 4 move game. Ryu has 3 variations of each of his "4" moves, and 1 more for each with the EX versions. And I'm not even counting the unique attacks or the chain link ups for combos.

Let's list the game mechanics that show off the compeditive balance in SF: Invincibility frames, hyper armor, focus attacks, cancels, counter attacks, kara moves, stun gauges, the whole revenge gauge system, the super gauge system, and of course, the fact that every single character is viable and nobody is broken. Not even Sagat, Ryu and 'Gief are broken or overpowered. Can Tekken claim to have a system that tight?

Highest grossing game? So ****ing what? Consumer buying power has NEVER equaled quality. And I really don't expect most gamers or even reviewers to acknowledge the high level applications and tournament viability of a game. Tekken doesn't have a tournament scene. Not the way SF or KOF do. Think about that for a minute.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: You are NOT a tournament level player, simply because you do not understand game mechanics or why some games are inferior in depth.

so you stay lost, Sado. Your kind of gamer is a disgrace to this board. dopedfu

close. 😂

Don't get me started on broken T4 Jin, TP.

Steve was nasty in T4 too, but Jin took the cake.
