MK vs DC is going to outsell SFIV, regardless of how god-awful it is. I know it, you know it.

[Arsenal]

MK is one of the best selling "fighting" games to date, isn't it? Even without DC, I suspect MK would still outsell SF4.

[BigMex]

I'd been ranting about the development of SF IV for a while now on my blog... bigmex.1up.com

When the new issue of EGM (#229) with Rick from Splatterhouse on the cover came out it listed DIMPS as a co-developer. I compared two characters from Rumble Fish 2 to the two new characters in SF IV.

They must have really thought highly of their fat character Boyd because he was the only character in the game with his own special meter, with a little scorpion character on it. It might be a coincidence or they (DIMPS) might be referencing their own fighting legacy rather than Capcom's. You tell me.

It isn't. Tekken, DOA, and SC have all outsold it at one point or another.

Also just for fun. Street Fighter outsold UMK3 on Xbox live.

[Tizoc]

Dictator is a Skrull in this game, hence why he is still alive.

[Kyokuji]

I have to say, I'm not feeling any of the new character designs for this game. They remind me of something you'd see out of an early '90s ADK game.

I'm pretty sure Deception and Armageddon sold incredibly well-- remember that both of those games were on all 3 platforms. And Armageddon was on the Wii as well. DOA has been an exclusive title, so I doubt their sales are at the level of MK's.

Frankfurt dude! wtf.... street fighter series has taken more money in the arcades world wide than any other beat em up has FACT!!! also its japanese and is still one of the most played game in japan arcade and they dnt even have mortal kombat hardly anywhere because main reason its shit and made in the US lol honestly dude learn the facts before you start saying mk is better or sold more.... even tekken has not outsold it including console versions or arcade.

Sadly, this is true. Crapmageddon sold millions of copies, and Midway gambled on exclusive special collector covers for multiple stores which sold well. Only positive aspect of Armageddon was it's massive roster. But lets be frank, Only reason people buy this game/series still is for the fatalities.

That interview seemed kinda stuffy, but nonetheless--thanks for posting it. Much like anyone else here--I really want in-depth feedback from competitive players in the US. I appreciate "Team SRK" 's generous efforts I just want more of that.

The only thing I agree with in the 1up interview is that a little sumi-e wouldn't have hurt--not as much as that Guile vs Abel trailer 80% of that is intangible.

I'd like to see this animated short thats been created for a few heads to see.

[Gaijinblaze]

What I don't like:
-the concept of 3D hit detection in SF
-art direction and certain details on some of the character models
-emphasis on SF2 characters

...

In creating a 3D game with enforced 2D gameplay, the team had implemented a 3D hit-detection system that allowed for pinpoint-perfect hit-detection accuracy. But as it turns out, that just feels wrong if you're accustomed to classic Street Fighter. Luckily, switching the hit detection back to the old-fashioned 2D method has magically fixed everything -- now, when you jump in and "cross someone up" with close-in strikes, it feels just right.
One down, a lot more to go. I should've had single stock super system on that list.

yeah i quoted myself from four months ago, you got a problem with that

[NG1313]

No problem here. Is that photo from around the same time? :bgrin:

That's good to hear that the problem was addressed and it now perfectly emulates its 2D counterparts... Game looks really great.

[COUM]

its pretty lol that they ever thought 3d hit detection was a good idea

[SN3S]

True; but now it'll have that feel of a 2D SF game, but with the look of a 3D fighter.

Write an essay, get your face onto SF4

http://kotaku.com/5016495/your-picture-here--in-street-fighter-iv

If you have a hi-res shot of yourself and can think up a reason that amuses Capcom, you can get yourself in Street Fighter IV as a background spectator. You have to do it fast though. Capcom extended this offer on Friday and it runs through Wednesday.

Make your case — there are no limitations on length, subject or even medium — to contestATcapcomDOTcom. As s-kill writes over on Capcom-Unity, weirdoes, freaks, self-promoters, the obsessive, cosplayers and pretty much everyone is welcome to justify their existence in SFIV. You need to include name, age, phone number, email, and be comfortable with the fact that Capcom will own your likeness if they put you in the game.

If I had the time, I'd get a portrait shot of me done as a pervert upskirt photographer stalking—

We interrupt this feeble attempt at humor to admit I am an imbecile. The previously mentioned female fighter character is not a part of this series.

— I'm sure you Kotakuites, given enough time and creativity, can come up with something even better. Come on, dammit, we've gotta get one winner in this thing.
