By default Street Fighter IV makes you available to play online, all the time. People can interrupt your single player game with a match request, like putting a quarter in the machine. Coupled with the fact that your losses are not displayed online makes Capcom look like revolutionary geniuses. See, someone with SF skills that don't measure up online, like myself, is hesitant to start an online match and begin their career in the hole. I want to play a million hours first and THEN start playing online with the confidence that I might win 10% of my matches. There are surely lots of people like me, and now in SFIV we're playing online CONSTANTLY because the game forces it on you and doesn't punish you for losing. Just get in there! I played 50 online matches yesterday alone, and you better believe I had a 65% win record! It was awesome.
Of course, I then realized that all the pros were hanging out in the RANKED matches area, and that's where I resumed my 10% win ratio. Still, I remain confident that with so much practice I'm sure to gain ground in that area too.
The move windows in SFIV are so lax, I can now do reversals 100% of the time with any shotokan character. 100%! That's an increase of like 95%. Counter-intuitively, though, I'm now having extra trouble with the Super and Ultra motions (double quarter circles). Normal dragon punches usually come out instead, and I can't figure out why at all.
How does a charging character do the Super/Ultra move? I find that shit impossible.
I haven't seen anyone choose Dhalism, Gen or Dan yet.
Seth's Ultra move where he sucks you into his stomach and ejaculates you onto the camera makes me uncomfortable.
The presentation is awesome. The gay 80s rock song intro, the ink splatter design, the fire everywhere, the announcer... I get so pumped.
My girlfriend thought Hadoken sounded like "Hellooooo Ken!" which is certainly better than thinking it was "Huuuuuge clit!" as we did with SF2 back in the day.
My favourite background person is the guy on the far right of the distillery, screaming into his giant walkie talkie. |

I'm only able to win with Saget. by Quétinbec 02/28/2009, 1:22am PST 
You could pick Ken and you'll still win and be instantly more contemptible NT by It's Magic 02/28/2009, 11:13am PST

After some time with this: It's really cool, but it's still just Street Fighter. by bink 03/29/2009, 5:52am PDT
