The super moves look cool. However that's the only entertaining thing I watched in the game play footage. It'll never beat Mortal Kombat or Soul Calibur...

I think the developers are stuck in a bind, but hopefully, they can get themselves out.

Capcom faces a dilemma because these are the 3 main groups they need to appease:

1.hardcore fighting game players. Consists of people who play competitively and will know who Daigo is the moment you drop his name. To appeal to this group, Capcom will need to have a balanced game while keeping the characters diverse and have some advanced tactics to learn. Avoid having a god tier consisting of 4 characters in a 50+ character roster.

2.veterans of the old Street Fighters, but as time went on, they moved onto other things as the fighting game genre began to lose its popularity. In order to appeal to this group, they need to get these players feeling comfortable again. Make 'em go, oh yea, I remembered how to do that! Keep in a good list of familiar characters, but add in some new things so the experience is fresh. Have new characters, old favorites, easy to pick up and learn again controls in order to win this group over.

3. Newcomers to the series. I'd say this group consists of younger people who weren't around when arcade games were a big hit, and thus, won't be familiar with Street Fighter. In order to prevent a genre from stagnating, new fans need to be brought in periodically, so this group will player an important role in the future of Street Fighter. To appeal to this group, we need awesome character designs, flashy specials/supers, and a fair level of difficulty. Too easy, and they'll be done in 5 minutes. Too hard, and they'll be throwing their controllers at the TV screen.

lets hope it they can at least fufill two of their troubles fighting games arent what they use to be let prey they dont make another sf ex hopefully capcom learned something from they previous mistakes

[distractxfer]

idc what people say. Street Fighter (to me) is the all time #1 fighter. Grew up with it on my SNES and in arcades. After watching the SF4 trailer and gameplay footage, i just wanted to yell out HADOKEN (which i did) at any person. People on my vent got quite annoyed after the first couple random hadokens :p.

Capcom didn't make it, but they had incentive to give creative license to see SF in 3D. The EX series was also the basis for many capcom in-game mechanics like super cancels, etc.

SF4 looks at the moment to be a more balanced SF2/SFEX hybrid with correct attack animation, better graphics, and art style. As an art and SF fan, I am impressed with the art style, frame rate, and guard crush parry/cancel. However, SF4 doesn't seem to be doing anything else new which is a failboat in intellectual design. All the "new" characters have been done already and the old characters have a very, very stale moveset.

If KOF XII has loc tests, and the roster can be balanced...........

i have to say capcom is doing a good job with sf4 but most the ppl here already know it cant be compared to calibur 4 but still i have to give capcom some credit for make looking good

[kaosoul]

I'm looking forward to this I hope it breathes new life into the series.
