   The definitive version of the game. There really isn't any competition when it comes to deep, involved fighting mechanics. You aren't drownedThe definitive version of the game. There really isn't any competition when it comes to deep, involved fighting mechanics. You aren't drowned in a quandary of different systems and minutia. Everything simply works.
   
   The balance is also razor thin. The worst characters (when looking at a 10 point match up tier list) are only 20% below the best. The same can't be said for pretty much any fighting game aside from SF2. Using MVC3 as an example, the best character is actually close to 250% better than the worst (on a match up based tier list).
   
   You also don't have to sit there and watch the other person play while your character is endlessly juggled for half the match. Combos are there but they are swift and succinct. No more 15-20 second long combos of MVC3 and King of Fighters 13.
   
   The character variety is amazing. The inputs are tight and responsive while also demanding that you learn your character. There is no dial-a-combo system, so mistakes are still risky but not as risky as Street Fighter X Tekken where stray jabs lead to full out dial-a-combos.
   
   If you are new to fighting games this is absolutely, positively a 10. If you have the older versions of Street Fighter 4 then this is a 9, seeing as how you've tread this ground before.… Expand

   Fantastic upgrade to my favorite game of last generation. Endless depth and the online battles have always been epic. For people complainingFantastic upgrade to my favorite game of last generation. Endless depth and the online battles have always been epic. For people complaining about constant upgrades, just don't buy them and move on. For me, I Iove this game and I will certainly get well more than $15 of entertainment value out of the new characters and features. If you love Street Fighter than you will love this version as well. If you choose to give low scores because you protest Capcom's business model then that's your business. The rest of us will be having fun playing this game for years to come!… Expand

It includesThe final version of SF IV is perhaps the most definitive one. This is a culmination of every iteration that had come before it. It includes 44 fighters, over 100 costumes, extra modes and new gameplay mechanics. The original "Street Fighter IV" already had a deep fighting system. This one just builds on it extensively. So if you're a die hard fan, then "Ultra" is easily a must own. It's packed with plenty of content and options. I would rate it with a 9 out of 10.… Expand

   This game is like the Blink-182 of fighting games, it's cool when you are 13 years old, but hopefully you grow out of it and find out thereThis game is like the Blink-182 of fighting games, it's cool when you are 13 years old, but hopefully you grow out of it and find out there are much better things out there. The same generic Street Fighter formula is here, but this time, with art that looks like an ugly B-list comic book. I'm not sure why this game is so beloved by the competitive crowd, but flies flock in droves to a turd, except in this case people are the flies, and Street Fighter 4 is the you know, the turd. As for the arcade mode, I can't wait to see what adventures of Ryu and M Bison they will retcon this time! If you feel so compelled to spend money on this game, just think, you could donate that money to the homeless, buy quite a few sandwiches for yourself, or even burn it! All of the above are better alternatives to buying Street Fighter 4.… Expand
