Fine, I lied. I didn't post for three days. I was sick. And I almost didn't post today too because I never thought about it. Oh well, lets talk about one reason why i am doing this blog: Street Fighter 4.
Street Fighter 4 was announced about...two weeks ago now I thinks? Well, it is big news to the video game and fighting community. This is the first new Street Fighter in a decade. The Shroyuken forums had a Street Fighter 4 section up within the second of the announcement, and after two seconds was clogged with bullshit that no one had any idea about but people asked anyway (2D? 3D? Characters? TIERS?? PARRIES?!?! DEVELOPMENT TEAMS!?!?!?!?). Everyone is happy that SF4 is really gonna happen, but there are obvious worries too. Will it suffer the same fate as KoF? I fucking hope not. On to my own speculations...
It was found out a few days after that Capcom Japan was working on SF4, despite Capcom USA owing the rights. This is great news. I think it gives SF4 a much better chance to be a great fighting game because UK and US developers don't know how to make a good fighting game.
I don't know what is going to happen when it comes down to gameplay. No one does. Anything I put in the next paragraph is speculation. I think is going to be 2D. When we were told by Sven to take a real close look a the trailer, I did and some things came out of it, not all gameplay tho. The big thing people are seeing, and being the most convincing evidence that it will be 2D, is that Ken and Ryu never move out of a 2D plane. People are also hoping for throw breaks, and I have to say I am too.
The art in the video is awesome. It reminds me of Okami, so I can only hope that Clover Studios is involved in making the game (lol). Actually, again, we don't know who is doing the art. Sadly UDON, who did SF2HD, isn't and neither are the guys who did SF3. Damn shame because both games are amazing looking. I hope that they can take the art style that they had in the trailer and put it into 2D. If not, I can settle with 2.5D, but SF in any kind of 3D is still something I am warry of.
People want characters. A lot of characters. I do to. I want to see Sakura come back. I want to see M. Bison, I want to see Vega, I want to see Cammy, I wanna see fucking DAN. Lets bring people back. This is the first game in a decade, I want to see some epic character lists. It is probably going to be released with updates once or twice, and that is cool. Maybe start out with a decent size list and throw in some extras each release. They have done it with every other SF.
That's all I got for SF4 speculation. I have high hopes for it. This is the first game that is going to be released where I am not walking into the scene solo, I am walking into it with everyone else.
