I only played SF4 for a little while and i liked it, but I also have more fun playing SF2 type games. In particular, I like the SF Alpha Collection and Marvel vs. Capcom games.

I disagree. Once you get past the fact that there is loads of blood and you can do fatalities, you are left with a pretty average fighter.
If you ignore the special moves, the fact you can side step, and the depth brought by the toggable fight styles, yes very average
Balancing obviously wasn't a priority when making MK games, especially with MK vs DC. Ground-pounding, anyone?
Besides, depth in fighting games isn't necessarily how many moves you have. If that was the case, explain how Street Fighter is the most successful and competitive fighter in existence (and also created the damn genre) while MK is considered to be a broken spam fest? (which it is.)

Could say the same for simple fighter. Wow is more popular, but doesn't mean it is more competitive or more balanced so that argument fails.

[QUOTE="Fumpa"][QUOTE="enterawesome"]I haven't played SF2, but SF4 was terrible.enterawesome
Why do you say that? Is there a fighting game that you like more than SF4?Oh yes. Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Soul Calibur IV are awesome.Well that's cool. Still a bit shocked that you think SF4 is terrible. I guess I'm the same in a way since I don't like HL2 at all and most people think it's a great game.

lolwut?
The hell is 'Wow'?
in my opinion competitve mean pro>>>>>>>>>>>>>noob instead of pro>>noob. Lots of players play SF since it was the first fighter that is still alive? Therefore having more players and are convincing themselves that the competition isn't as good and therefore say stuff like this has more players must be better or other game is unbalanced etc. Reminds me of WOW players who say it is the best MMORPG when in comparison to GW it has no depth. Besides simple fighter 4 is so succesfull because it is geared at the casual.

:lol:
Dude, the fighting genre itself isn't even casual. As a matter of fact, I doubt that SF is even the most popular (certainly the most recognized, but Tekken sells more, I believe.)
Comparing fighters to MMOs is like comparing apples to oranges. 'Competitive' in a fighter is not the same as 'competitive' in an MMO.
Street Fighter is far from simple. Just like any other fighter, there is a limitless number of strategies and playing styles that you can use to better your opponent. Hell, stringing combos together in Street Fighter is harder than any other fighting game out there.
Those who have been playing Street Fighter since SF 2 and prefer SF2 are more likely to play HD Remix, not 4.
Street Fighter is the most well received fighting game from critics.
Once again, depth =/= more moves when it comes to fighting games.
Which Street Fighter 2? You know there were like 5, right?

I have aways perferred Street Fighter to other fighters not to say I hate them its just I enjoy Street Fighters balance.

This is a interesting review on how unbalanced they are http://www.n4g.com/reviews/PS3/UReview-284310.aspx Wow. This isn't an interesting article, it's just a blog about some guy whining about how much he sucks at Street Fighter IV. Here are the things he knocked the game for... 1.Needs more characters: Damn, 22 is not enough? He was mad that THawk and Dee Jay weren't in the game but everybody hated those guys in Street FIghter II and nobody wants them in Super unless they have received major upgrades. 2. Bad Story: It's a fighting game, dude. Go play Bioshock while we enjoy our game. I don't need a valid reason to punch someone in the face. 3. Unbalanced: WHAT?! This dude said Ken and Akuma were unbalanced. Akuma has the lowest health on the game and the majority of Ken players are scrubs anyway. This game is the most balanced fighting game ever. Evo 2K9, damn near all the characters were being used and a Balrog player almost won the whole thing. Sagat is the only unbalanced character IMO but he's not broken by any means, plus other fighting games are much worse with their tiers. OP, can you give a reason why you think SF2>>>>SF4? Everything that was in SF2 is in SF4 so it's not like you have to change your gameplay style.
SF4 is probably the most balanced fighter ever so I prefer sf4 over any other fighter out there but really I like both.
I consider SF2, 3, and 4 their own thing... I like how each plays way differently than the other and all three are amazing fighters. No need to hate one or the other.
This guy will agree with you that SF2 > the rest heh. Great series of vids by that guy. If you follow the SF scene at all it is a must watch.
Super Smash Bros. Brawl is TERRIBLE and not a real fighting game.

Says you. I say it's an excellent game with the best local mutliplayer out there, period. ...and yet still, it's not a real fighting game.Why not? The game is all about fighting people.
