Many fans worry about the future of 2D fighting games. 2D fighting games have evolved in popularity since the appearance of amazing games such as GTA and Metal Gear Solid.
(But Capcom knows what fighting gamers want by publishing Street Fighter 4)
Street Fighter is back, with new graphics, new combos, new characters, and much more that will get the fans exited.
Story
The story takes place between SF 2 and SF 3. Here is the story detail i took from capcom-unity.com: "The year after the legendary World Warrior Championship (SF2) it silently begins. Suspicious incidents occur, and behind it a mystic organization is on the move in the shadows. Those chasing and being chased in the complicated middle of friendship and betrayal. Now, the curtain rises and a new fight begins."
Each character has his/her own rival. Example, Guile once again will fight against Bison and Ken gets a new rival named Rufus.
Gameplay
It's all about how to defeat your opponent. Not much changed from previous series, you can defeat your opponent by using mild, medium and strong punch/kick button.
In this game Capcom has added new extra combos, focus attacks and ultra combos.
*Focus attacks
If successful, you can drop your opponent to the ground by using this powerful attack.
*Ultra combos
If your rage meter (located near the life bar) is full, you can unleash a very powerful combo that can kill your opponent in a second.
New Characters
Beside old characters such as Ken, and Ryu, Capcom has added some new playable characters:
-Crimson Viper the secret agent from USA. She wears sunglasses as her identity and her ultimate combo is a big lightning ball.
-Rufus: an overweight fighter who has dream to beat ken and become the number one fighter in USA.
-Able, a martial artist from France. He is also called with "a man with no past". His mission is to kill the rest of shadaloo members, a crime organization founded by M. Bison.
-El Fuerte: his real job is an aspiring gourmet chef. El Fuerte itself means " the strong one".
Hidden Characters
-Seth, the new boss in this game. He has transformed his body into a big blue robot. It's very hard to fight this boss, since he can copy any combos from other characters.
Sound
*This game has great sound, from Chun Li's hurricane kick to Ryu's dragon punch.
*The music is pretty good and suits perfectly into the game.
Buy or Rent
As a Street Fighter fans, you must buy this game.
