I think Soul Calibur 4 is the best one for newcomers to the genres or for those who just play fighting games for fun. SF4 on the other hand is more of a competitive and challenging game in it's genre.

At the begining of my playtime of SF4 I would Say Soul Calibur. Now a day after I got SF4, Im starting to love it. This is my first SF and its tough on you at first but dont give up stick to one character and learn how to play on him then advance. I may not be as good as I am in SSBB but I hope I will get there.

Soul Calibur IV is basically a button smasher. Easier to get into and to master.

Street Fighter IV has more depth. Its easy to play, but hard to master.

Not even close (unless you've been playing bots or the laggy online mode). If you want button-mashing, stick to Tekken or DoA. SF has more in-depth gameplay, but I find the SC universe more interesting. I can't wait to get my copy of SFIV!

I'm more of a Soul Calibur fan but Street Fighter IV looks fun. I won't be getting it anytime soon cause Killzone 2 comes out next week and I'm still working on Fear 2.

Button mash in any fighter and you will be owned by anyone who is half decent at it.

That is 100% true. It is more viable in some games over others however.

Lucky guy, it seems that you havent played Naruto Clash of Ninja 2, trust me, i've been defeated in that game to people who only mash buttons.

Back to the thread, i love SF and i love SC, and i'm agree with most of you guys, i feel that SF is more depth, and SC is more friendly, out of those, i'll choose SF only for the online mode.

Street Fighter IV is WAY better, imo. You also get more BANG for your buck.

I love fighting games though, and I have 1000GS on SOUL CALI 4 360, and I also have SC4 for PS3. It is fun, and a great "Noobie" fighter, but SF4 is way better in the end.

They just put so much into it, but I suppose just follow your heart.

SF is the reason there even is a Mortal Kombat, Soul Calibur, Tekken, DOA, Smash Bros., and Virtua Fighter, and SF4 has so much nice extras.

The PS3 version ESPECIALLY as you get a friggin' BLU-RAY movie with the Collector's Version, Install option, and DPad greatness (Great for visiting friends), but either way, it's awesome

While I do like SCIV it just doesn't stand up to SFIV. Seriously, SFIV is so amazing. I suck with everyone but really trying to learn Ken's moves, counters, combos, and reversals is just intense.

Capcom just has a stranglehold on me when it comes to 2D fighters. I can't get enough from them. So of course I'm going with SF IV.

Soul Calibur was an Excellent game and II was good. 3 I didn't play much but I didn't like it. Bought IV and returned within a week or 2.

3D fighters I have just Tekken and DoA. Not really a fan of VF and was a huge fan of SC before but it's just gone down hill for me. I still enjoy playing the first. I wish the one on XBL had online play. Hell I'd probably enjoy Soul Edge/Blade more than SC IV.

I still havent got SFIV (waiting for my copy to arrive)... however SCIV is a great game... but am sure i'll be enjoying SFIV more... Its the type of game that makes you believe its easy to get into, but then you realise that in order to truly master the game you need to dedicate lots of hours per character..

So far though my fav fighting game this gen is definately VF5... again its tough to master but so rewarding :)

I prefer Street Fighter 4. IMO SF has way better online, the fighting system is great (most of the time you can't get away with button mashing unlike SC4). Soul Calibur 4 is still a great game though it is easy for beginners it offers a lot of replay value (68 hrs clocked in), creating a character is sweet.

Anyone who is a fighting game fan or knows fighting games can you tell STREET FIGHTER 4 is without a doubt the best fighting game this generation.

EDIT: I prefer Street Fighter IV over Soul Calibur IV any day.

As somebody who isn't big on competitive online play, I felt I got much more bang for my buck with Soul Calibur IV. It's arguable that the game is a little imbalanced and that characters such as Kilik and Ivy are overpowered. But it is also great fun, very addictive and the character creation mode is a guilty pleasure.

In all seriousness though, if you want an outstanding fighting game, get VF5. It makes both of those games feel oldhat.

Street Fighter IV is the greatest fighting game this decade. It's not for beginners and has a very steep learning curve.

SC4 because I can use Astaroth's cheap move to feel good about winning.
