Well, there's always 3rd Strike.

No parry in IV.

Look at that screenshot, man. Parrying is the least of my worries about this game.

This is sort of worse than Wallguy.

I'm glad the parry stuff is gone.... I liked 3rd strike ect but never was crazy over parry. Just hope some crap like vism custom combo crap doesn't replace it.

It looks good, but I'm sure the final version will be better. The screen shots are hella scaled down (surely, the real deal will be 720p).

Hopefully there won't be dynamic camera angles during matches- though this would be allright for replays.

You've got to be shitting me if you think this looks good.

It looks like otherworldly terrible fanart.

I think it looks great. Real solid.

What do you guys mean it's 2d? Everything here looks like a 3d fighter...

you're being a bit overzealous in you preserve all 2D gaming crusade.
yeah it's 3D, but it's not ugly 3D..... EX now that was ugly.

JoshF · Post by **JoshF** » Fri Dec 07, 2007 4:13 am

Parrying most likely had to be removed because of the 3D character models. Without 2D hit planes you lose a lot of the precision. Of course, I'm sure Capcom USA PR already has the alibi.

People who are "It's not 2D it sucks" can fuck off really. Welcome to a world where big budget games are 3D (graphically). So sorry you missed the last 5 fucking years. How was that coma?

JBC · Post by **JBC** » Fri Dec 07, 2007 6:44 am

It is kind of sad to see people from my generation gaining the same mentality our elders had that we used to despise. Remember when heavy metal was crap compared to the Beach Boys?

Just because it's new and different doesn't mean it sucks. Street Fighter IV is going to rock yall's damn face.

it290 · Post by **it290** » Fri Dec 07, 2007 6:52 am

This is Street Fighter fucking Four. Only old farts and weirdos like the lot of us really care about it anyway. We're precisely the ones who want it in 2d and in my opinion are a larger demographic than anyone else who might just happen to buy the game. There are a lot of Street Fighter fans out there.

That aside, saying "big budget games are 3D, get with the program" just serves as an example to show how immature video games are in terms of taking themselves seriously. It's like saying "all big budget movies are in color" -- yeah, the vast majority of them are, but sometimes making a film in black and white just makes more sense. I think that's the case here.

Doesn't it cost more to make 2-D hand drawn sprites then 3-D models anyway?

The Beach Boys are awesome.

I had this wonderful dream. I was playing Street Fighter, but the animation was so fluid I thought I was playing a living cartoon. The hit detection was perfect, and all of the original new characters made the most colorful cast in history.

I loved Street fighter 3 when everyone I knew was hating it and banging on about zero. I will have to just wait and see how 4 plays.
but I can tell you now. Im not a tekken fan I am ok with Virtuafighter. So this as a whole does not sit well with me. Yeah its new and we should give it a chance but im entitled to my aprehensions becuase history speaks volumes!!! But oh god please can you not call this SF4 can you not call call it something like Street fighter EX'majigger because I really just want to play a good 2D fighter. Looks like im going to be importing a few JP exclusive 2D fighters in the furure then

Is it me or do games not port well to and from 2D and 3D
Virtua fighter on the megadrive anyone?

sven666 · Post by **sven666** » Fri Dec 07, 2007 5:39 pm

so far it looks like shite, plain and simple.. but we all know its all in the gameplay (zomg just like shmups!!) when it comes to SF titles, thusly the verdict is still undecided.

Strider77 · Post by **Strider77** » Fri Dec 07, 2007 6:25 pm

Contra, Ninja Gaiden, Gradius 5, Mario Galaxy (just the 1st things that popped into my head) are a few that did fine with the switch over, to me anyway.

Believe it or not it can be done, now will it with SF 4? I dunno, but considering this is the only hope I have in the pipeline for new street fighter, I'll sit back and wait till I give it a spin.

People are calling it shit all ready based on 2, count them, 2 pictures. We know nothing about gameplay except the good news that it's 6 button. Plus we haven't seen it moving.

I've been noticing on here and also with a new crowd of local gamers I've been hanging with... that it's either more fun to hate or diss a game than it is to give it a shot or much less PLAY it. Some in that crowd bitched about how much Ninja Gaiden sucked and I was ok with that till they said it was just a button masher. Then I got hot b/c after that statement I knew they had never played it. Button mashing will KILL you in that game.

Now I understand the hesitation on SF going 3D, I was a bit let down when I 1st heard it. But I know way to little right now to say it sucks. I love SF and want a new game that plays like the others, so I'm hoping something good will come of this since it's being handled by capcom themselves. Maybe they'll do what they've done before, reinvent something to a degree that works very well and makes it popular again. SF1 sucked ass and then part 2 started a whole new genre in a BIG way. Now do i really think 4 is gonna do that again.... no. But I'm hoping it'll be fun to play and it might be easier to find new players to join in on it.

There's really nothing in the shots to back that up, but 1up has (supposedly) confirmed from Capcom that it is going to be 2D. Supposedly Chun-Li and Dhalsim have been confirmed as characters. I swear to God if the character roster is just some lame rehash of SF2 I'm going to kill someone.

Kotaku via that Brazlian Mag wrote:Gone is the parry system, they say, as it will be replaced by a canceling system dubbed either "Saving" or "Revenge." On the offensive side, an "Ultra" move will be available as well as the "Super" moves in the style of Super Street Fighter II.

So long parrying, I guess you were too good to warrant another appearance.

I'm reserving all judgment on the visuals till I see some gameplay vids.

Strider77 · Post by **Strider77** » Fri Dec 07, 2007 8:08 pm

I haven't seen anywhere saying this is 2D, all have said 3D with 2D GAMEPLAY.......

It just wouldn't work in 3D. Imagine some side swiping attack where the moment it contacts you is obstructed, and it would contact at different times for different characters (later on a skinny character, sooner on some muscle bulge of a bigger character.) It would just create imbalance. So listen up scrubs, Street Fighter fans have a right to question what they're seeing.
