Why did SF4 have so much SOUL?

'09ers are hilarious lmao. And I say that as someone who played fighters casually until them myself.

SF4 was worse than 5 imo.

No idea. I love the stage music and gameplay over V. V isn't a bad game per say but it's not for me. I agree though that it feels that V has a better artstyle.

i barely see any blender/sfm porn of sf5 characters

>>better aesthetic
?????????
sf4 is ugly as shit

shame, the models are kino

it has more style and soul, the models are uglier but that wasn't my point.

Then why do I want to fuck every girl in 4

>it has more style and soul, the models are uglier but that wasn't my point.
?????????????????
models are trash and so are the animations
it doesnt even feel like your attacks hit most of the time
what is 'style and soul'????? better ui????? lmfaoooo

Responsiveness and lot of character specifics tech to unleash your autism upon in full potential. I would just spend hundreds of hours just in training room learning shit that I will never use successfully due to online lag but god if it wasn't fun

youtube.com/watch?v=nzYdGeVvRis just sakura alone had so much shit to learn and discover

I miss watching high level tourneys so much

People who make the issue that simple probably didn't play neither of them too much. SFV was a complete disaster at launch, it took them V years but it now has an impressive roster and is one of the most balanced fighting games. SFIV had favored execution in combos, which is good, but the balance was crap, what the fuck were they thinking with Elena for example and in the end the same strategies were applied in the meta, so there's more or less the same gameplay variety than in V.

BEST CHARACTER WHEN OILED

at least IV was a full game not some bullshit with only 5 characters where you had to grind to unlock the rest or pay jewbucks

I had to buy a new fucking game every year to keep playing nothing but gouken. Fuck that.

at least you can unlock characters without paying in v

Sf4 fucking sucked and most people who played only did so because it was the newest Sf

What are you blind she's right there next to Ibuki.

Just like Sf3 sucked.
Just like Alpha 3 sucked.
Just like Alpha 2 sucked.
Just like Super Turbo sucked. You know what? You're right. SF was never good.

sfiv sucks and i will never touch that game again
sfv is boring and i will probably never install that game again unless one of the five next characters is a cute waifu i like and then i will leave it uninstalled after i play it for a week because i hate sfv's 2000000 gb patches

The models are shit but all the other stuff is good. Really the only thing bad about models is the weird as fuck proportions. I would have liked to see them try the ink brush art style again for 5 with those proportions and models. 5 is just so bland and boring and everything looks like it's made of clay or plastic. 4 at least had a fun announcer, UI looked good, and the art style was unique.

>the other stuff is good
like what

Yeah it will take you years.

Hakan is probably the last super cool SF newcomer we got. G is cool but I personally think his allusions to being Q being so vague isn't really interesting and they should just confirm or deny already.

> simplified gameplay = more players meme that now every fighting game is adopting despite not being true
> simplified the gameplay in every update since the beta until the most recent version
> pc version installed a fucking rootkit
> dlc characters couldn't be feasibly unlocked with fight money because it took way too long to grind
> ass tier design and animation for some characters ( falke, ed, ken's face, etc)
> ass tier online, worst implementation of rollback ever seen. Even SF4 pc version had better netplay
> most of the dlc characters were shitty newcomers no one wanted or butchered returning characters, enjoy paying for their original non-shitty costume btw :P
> 8 frame launched input delay only reduced to like 5 frames later
> netcode only patched fucking 5 years after release and still plays worse than a fan patch made in 2 days
>sp content didn't come with the launch had to wait on story mode
> only a few characters get extra alt costumes (ryu chunli) while others only get the base 3
> killed SF4 at it's competetive peak
fuck SFV and anyone who still plays or defends that trash

SFIV was made because Ono wanted to prove Capcom wrong about fighting games being dead and so despite its faults it had a ton of effort put forth. He was literally laughed at by others in the company until the game became a huge hit and kickstarted a renaissance of fighting games that is still going on. SFV was made because Capcom wanted to capitalize on SFIV's popularity and get that eSports money.

Compare MvC3 to MvC Infinite for a MUCH more extreme example of this.

you cant unlock anything for free in iv
in fact you have to keep buying new versions to play multiplayer lmao

fuck sfiv for pretending it "revived fighting games"

Because SF4 made fighting games mainstream again, people who bought an Xbox 360 for Halo 3 and Gears ended up getting SFIV because it was popular

SFV is fun but I wouldnt place it higher than USFIV

Either you grew up playing it or you played it when you were in a better moment in your life

thats what you deserve for pretending sf4 was worth playing at all

look at tournament entries, online viewership, and general fighting game sales or basically any relevant metric and you'll see that SF4 put fighting games back on the map, don't be an idiot revisionist just cuz you don't like the game.

UMvC3 did that

When SFV was the main SF game, this thread use to say the same about Third Strike.

Take your nostalgia goggles off, user.

The new characters they made for V weren't as interesting as the ones they did for IV.

Hakan is my favorite traditional grappler but SFV has more hits than misses in terms of newcomers. G, Menat, Zeku, Rashid, Abigail, Lucia, FANG, Ed, Laura, to a lesser extent Kolin. Falke & Necalli are kind of boring and Kage is just Eviler Ryu. You can basically count Seth as a newcomer in all ways but name/voice too.

It took years to get good, same as SFV

>implying i did that
you're a moron
that's not reviving fighting games idiot
that's reviving major interest in such
no

best character select of all time
look harder.

Capcom cut the roster to a 1/4 of 4 then decided that anyone that wants to play their favorite fighters would have to pay for the season pass. Several modes are nonexistent at launch. At least DOA and Tekken don't reduce roster for profit. People want their fighters, but they also want cosmetics. They even kept their arcade modes, tutorials, combo challenge and command training.

yeah interesting characters like Rufus

Its been said already but
>sf4
>soul
Sf4 was soulless as fuck man.
2000s Nostalgia is one hell of a drug man, you cannot seriously defend those models.
I dislike SFV too but SF4? Nigga please dont get me started, it was the beginning of the end
Soul my God damn ass
Now SF3 and before? Thats Soul

In what way?

It was soulless. Fucking ugly ass art, trite gameplay and a roster that was literally just Super Street Fighter 2

I miss sf4 Juri..she’s still my main but she used to be way funner

Rufus was a comedic character who did his job well.

SFV's launch roster was literally the characters people kept asking for in SFIV (Karin, R.Mika, Birdie)

> At least DOA and Tekken don't reduce roster for profit
Both Tekken and DOA wanted to do the same but didn't get away with it either

As much as I prefer 4 over 5, I hope Hakan makes it into SF5 still. His weird playstyle and super hot wife don't deserves to be abandoned forever.

I love SF 4 and it's maybe my favourite game ever, but this is just off base.

I bought 4 and most complained it was incomplete, so they added more trials, more training options more single player and multiplayer modes. when 5 came out, it was stripped bare, but it wasn't terribly far off of what 4 was at launch.

>but SFV has more hits than misses in terms of newcomers
I can agree I don't really hate any newcomers like I do some of the IVs newcomers it's just that while V's don't miss as hard for me they also don't hit as hard. Less bad but also less good. Menat is cute though and I like FANG enough too so not like its a complete failure.

So much was in Falke's favor until her moveset got revealed to be like Ed's.

>Vague
>All the fucking normals and specials are the same animations (only degraded once he becomes Q)
>Has a alt costume that's juts Q, even with color 14 being Q exactly.

What more do you fucking want?

Base roster of the home console version is 25, but nice try being indigenous
Vanilla 4 is the only one with unlockable characters

one flubbed character isn't as bad as all the dogshit newcomers from 5. ed,falke,fang, abigail,Kahgay, and the blond cop who's name I can't remember she's so boring.

Ed and Falke are practically wasted potential.

>SFV combo guide

wow i have mastered the character.

I really liked Rashid, hope he and Menat come back. Ed only if they take a few steps back and make him slimmer like how he's supposed to look

>sony

sf5 is just ugly fat people

Reminder that everybody hated SF4 when it was the newest one, and people complained about how different it was from 3rd strike

They rushed development of SFV so that it could be out in time for that years EVO. It's been on DLC life support ever since.

Proof that tourneyfags have ruined the fighting genre.

sfiv cut the roster of alpha3 and sf3 before it also went into upgrades, how about stating that too

lmao no one cared about street fighter 3 when 4 released

sf3 sucks, flopped and it's the worst fighting game of all time

Sf5 suffers more from them being boring, not too bad but not good.
Sf4 still has more misses though
Abel is boring, Rufus and El Fuetre are annoying, C. VIPER is ok but she doesn't really fit. Seth was generic
