In my opinion the game looks less... well less without the shadow trail.

Instead of the old styles of the shadow trail that we saw in the last 50 games that that Capcom produced. Its the new generation now, it would be very stylist if Street Fighter IV have a flow ink trail of colors when they do super or revenge attack. it would tide with the trailer theme of SFIV.

I was thinking instead of the stupid yellow glow for EX moves they should either add shadow or ink trails.

Ink trail would be awesome.

Seconded. So clearly, that means I don't care.

Would rather they remove the face closeups and major slowdown of the ultra startups...

No, I don't mind. In fact, it'd probably look ugly as hell if they used shadow trails in SF4.

Yeah, the ultras waste a lot of time, but it's not too bad.

I wish they would remove that stupid white trail on Ryu's SRK.

+1 for stupid white trails. Fuck shadow trails.

Agreed. It seems too disruptive and a little too long.

Agreed, this would be ill. I may miss the shadow trails a little bit, but I barely even noticed it, so I really don't see it being an issue.

Sure but it feels oh so sweet when you finish someone off with one.

Yellow ink or mist/smoke would be nice for EX, and Blue for supers, and Red for Ultras...like in the trailer, where it's only there for a second, then evaperates. Only "artsy" thing as an effect you see is the SA charge.

Yeah, cut down certain character Ultras by a few frames, Bison's coaster super.

Would people stop bitching and just play the fucking game?

Most people don't get to play game, so they speculate, that must feel awful. I wouldn't know that feeling though. :pleased:

Whoa, just checked out some ST, A3, and 3S match vids... and holy crap, whenever someone did a super, there were little shadows of themselves walking behind them. I've been playing these games for a million years and never even noticed.

Of course, I'm also the guy who played 3S for 5 years before he realized that Chun's stage has a table in it, and that was only because someone else brought it up.

So I guess, in conclusion... no, I don't mind that Capcom has removed the shadow trail.

Some of you guys care too much about the minor details. This shit is on par with a NeoGaf thread. And that's not a compliment.

Isnt there Ink trails on the saving attacks?

I don't get the fascination with the damn ink. It's not suitable in gameplay, in my opinion. I'd rather have some cool effects to represent power when they do a saving attack, than "ink" to emphasize for those who read the interview and already knew that the previous games were hand drawn.

I like the special effects like Ryu's SRK trail. Speaking of which, the smoke coming from the character who ate a fierce SRK from Ken was an awesome touch.

I like how hype the fight is with the music changing after every round and the announcer keeping up.

I think it's when you shave the hair below your belly button, and it juuust starts to grow back.
