We thought Street Fighter IV was it. We thought it couldn't get any better. We thought wrong. The greatest fighting game ever just got better, and kicks its former self's ass. It feels complete, and the fact that we weren't really missing anything last time around says it all. Farmer Capcom has gotten better at milking the Street Fighter cow, adding nutrients and flavor to an already delicious dairy product. Yes Capcom, we forgive you…this time.

Super Street Fighter IV's most promising feature is Tournament mode, available as a free downloadable update June 15th. For the first time in the series, players will be able to host four or eight person competitions, either as a participant or the host.

If this game was full price, i would still give it a 10. I have put 8 hours into it already, and i can't say that i am or ever will get bored of it (especially since i played SF4 for over 100 hours). The online modes were the worst part of the original, and Capcom have enhanced it very well. The new modes are incredibly addictive, and the ability to spectate the match when it is not your turn is great (good time to cheer, or take a piss etc). The new balancing is working great from what i can tell so far. Guile is no longer the weakest link, and Sagat and Zangief are no longer as strong as fucking God of War bosses. Even Chun Li is pretty kick ass now too. I have only tried a few of the new characters: Juri, Guy, Deejay and Cody, and my favorite is BY FAR Juri. She has visually striking attacks, and possibly my favorite Ultra in the game. Ah yes...the new ultras are awesome too. But Gen's four Ultras are very similar in my opinion. However, the cutscenes are SLIGHTLY improved, but the dubbing is still pretty awful and the stories just simply suck. But they are still better than the orignial ones (which made me cringe more than one lol). I would recommend this to any fighting game fan- no, i would recommend it to ANYBODY. It is easy to pick up, difficult to master, and an absoulute blast when playing with a friend on the same couch.… Expand

Hmm - I really want to like this game, but it's not balanced for online play at all and lets face it - you didn't buy this to play through the single player arcade mode. After you reach just a modest rank online (rank C) every match degenerates into the same old safe block strings and throws from flow-chart Ken and Ryu - there's so little imagination out there. Lag prevents countering throws with technicals and prevents specials coming out as and when you want them to. The shortcut input commands are really frustrating and result in the wrong move coming out all the time, too. Player match is gone, so you're left with ranked, or the useless endless and team battle modes which have you watching other people fight 90% of the time and then you're kicked by the host if you start winning. It's not all bad - this game is great if you a friend who's interested in trying out new things and new characters for some 2P - but, sadly, online is a total wash out.… Expand
