Hopefully Chun Li is more like her original self and not the disfigured mess she was in SFIII.

Man I suck at this. What happened to combos?!


Are you thinking of MvC or something? "Combos" in the true street fighter games were more about linking up 2-3 hits to a special or super, never the ridiculous 50 hit stuff.

Edit: Also zangief's model and rushing moves cover the whole screen now, it's ridiculous.

No, it's gotten worse actually. She looks weirder than ever. Her legs have been getting bigger with every SF installment, and now they could register for their own zip code.

Now that really stinks. Why did they have to do that to Chun Li. How are her moves?

I haven't even seen the game, however I like the catchy tune of Cammy's theme. wink.gif

I just have these vague memories of the old SF2 where I could hit someone, and then on block immediately throw out another command for mixup instead of just sitting there hoping they can't poke me. I guess I'm just used to GGXX where if I hit with some random punt I can combo them out for a bit if my dex is good enough (and just as importantly, roll out of prone or do good wakeup attacks, as well as air tech on defensive.)

EDIT: Oh yeah, and everyone had more than like 3 moves total.

Also, I need a HDTV so I can actually read the text, ow.

Feels more like traditional street fighter than the trumped up editions that tried to mimic some of the later cartoon fighting games. Moved into the top 4500 with yesterday's play. Now is the fun part where people think they "care" about ranking and start sending nasty messages every time you beat them.

Edit: And I'm getting pretty sick of the matchmaking system. I set it to "Higher Skilled" to take on my rank or higher, but I still end up losing 75 points or winning 40-50, doesn't make much sense considering they are winning 75+ off me. Going say, 10-3 nets me barely half the gain of the wins.
