Capcom: Street Fighter 4 is in the works.

[Error]

Alpha 2 was awesome. And what I want from the new one is some fighters that don't look fucking retarded. Well, that and a character to rival Ryu. With Ryu being the final boss.

[Johnny Undaunted]

Didn't one or both of them leave before Alpha even came out

Uhh, Funamizu produced Alpha and SF3 you know. And Okamoto didn't leave Capcom until 2003.

I want a Street Fighter 4 to not have ANY Shotokan characters...(well maybe Sean but I dont consider him to be a shoto) just to piss off all of the 'cheese' asian 12 year old's who only know how to play with them.

Ha! Keep dreaming.

That would be a beautiful thing.

Marvel vs. Capcom 2 and Street Fighter Alpha 3 is as good as Street Fighter (or any other fighting game) will ever get.

Hmmmm. No. Wrong.

CvsSNK2 , Third Strike and Alpha 2 are much better games.

Nah, don't blame that shit on me. I call it how I see it. MvC2 and the like are FUN. I've given Tekken, VF, and the such a chance. The only 3-D game I can enjoy is Soul Calibur. Anything else just doesn't seem enjoyable enough to continue playing.

Or maybe you simply don't enjoy learning a new style of play. i.e. Virtua Fighter 4 evo. Perhaps you should put some time into Virtua Fighter 4's tutorial mode and learn the game. Thats how I started. If only Capcom, SNK and Sammy would put tutorials into their games, maybe they would appeal to a broader audience.

You should play Guilty Gear xx Reload as well.

But look at the type of fighters that I think are fun to play. They are both totally different from each other. Each has a fighting engine that is fun to play. If Capcom can create another Street Fighter that's fun to play, I'd play it. The main point of a game isn't for it to be 2D or 3D, it's to be FUN. Why would I continue to play a game that is complete shit and a hassle to play?

Trust me, if you played some hardcore Marvel vs Capcom 2 players, you would not call it fun. You would call it a broken cheap piece of shit. The game is horribly unbalanced and the music is terrible. There are only a couple teams that can compete. Tiers suck badly.

Third Strike, Guilty Gear xx Reload ,and Virtua Fighter 4 evo are much better with balance and tiers. More characters can compete. People taking about the "holy trinity" in Third Strike can blow me.
More characters can compete than people think if played properly. Just about everyone in Virtua Fighter 4 can win. Virtua Fighter boggles my mind!

SF3: A New Generation did this in the beginning and no one played it. That's the only reason Ken and Ryu were added again. Later on we got Akuma and Chun-Li back.

CvsSNK2 , Third Strike and Alpha 2 are much better games.

CvS2 is a boring game that can easily be trimmed down to 4 top characters. Third Strike IS fun, but I don't think it's the best out there. Alpha 2 was fun for me until I played A3 which had a better custom combo system (lawls broken). A2 seemed too much of a Chun/Ken/Ryu/Rose game, but top tiers exist in each Capcom game so that's barely a platform for a complain.

I've had GGXX for months now. I've been playing the series since I played GGX for DC.

I play MvC2 at Chinatown Fair, so I know how it is to play the game in high level play. It's the first game that I ever played tournament-wise. The game has at least 10-12 top tier characters out of 56 or so. The game even has some mid tier characters that can compete if someone is good enough to use them.

Third Strike's "Holy Trinity" is quite true. While others such as Makoto(probably my best character next to Yun), Urien, and Yang are good characters, these characters are greatly outmatched by Chun-Li, Ken, and Yun. These three characters have what it takes to stuff out the rest of the cast.

I've only played GGXX#reload about three times and each time it wasn't enough to actually feel what was different in the game. What I do know is that in GGXX Sol Badguy was a dominating force. Slayer abused the shit out of the slide system. Seems to me that these two broke the game quite hard as it made the rest of the cast barely usable during tournament play.

To end this, I'm just gonna say eat me.

I don't care if it's 3D. Just don't make it look like shit. Look at Soul Calibur, then look at SF EX3. EX3 looks like shit. Don't do that. Keep the flow the same, too. EX feels VERY different from any of the other Street Fighters.

Keep the flow and make it look good, and I'd buy it. It's all about the gameplay, always has been, but no need to be embarassing like SNK.

For the record, my favorite SF games are 3rd Strike, Alpha 3, CvS2, and MvC. The first one.

I've tried Tekken, Soul Calibur, and Virtua Fighter. I bought the games, sat down and played, tried to learn some combos, just didn't like them.

To be fair, I DID like VF4 because the tutorial is so fantastic. It's something every fighting game should ever have, it's beautiful. I stopped playing because:

1) I got tired of playing with the PS2 pad and using the L1 and R1 buttons to substitute pressing 2 or 3 buttons at once... I still don't have a PS2 arcade stick, so I never went back to it.

2) I never met a single person who liked it, let alone was good at it.

and

3) Every person I played at the game button mashed and still beat me, so I just got frustrated with it.

I suck at 3D fighters, I don't understand why every character has 1000 useless moves and variations of moves when people use maybe 5 of them. I don't understand why there are no real jump ins, and I hate things that hit mid. Fuck mid.

You aren't trying to say that Ken and Ryu weren't originally in the game, are you? The only real difference was that Alex was considered the main character, but that sort of got lost over time.

I say make the main characters something like Sean and Sakura. Have two kinda, sorta but not really shotokan characters. I'd also like to see an older character or two brought back, but only the ones people wouldn't expect and that something interesting could be done with. I only say this, really, because I'd like to see Rose come back. *heh*

. . .yeah. From what I've heard, the first release of the game while it was in testing didn't have Ryu or Ken.
