Street FIghter 4 is the best fighting game of all time

After playing this game since it came out and still addicted to it, Iam ready to crown Street Fighter 4 asthe best fighter ever made. Others have nostalgic value, and series such as Virtua Fighter are certainly more advanced and complex, but all ythings considered Street Fighter 4 is the most balanced, competitive, and outright fun fighting game ever created.

I predict this will get ugly... real ugly real fast.

not even the best in series let alone best fighting game. ALPHA series by far was best series.Dibdibdobdobo

Yep Alpha 3 was the best SF IMO.

Eh out of the SF series, I preferred Alpha 3 or SFIII. 4 was Capcom being too safe with the series, in my thoughts.

Besides, more fighters are coming that are giving SF a run for its money. Mainly stuff like KOF and Blazblue.

ahem....I think I just threw up a little in my mouth.

SF4 was poopy alongside it's riduculous Seth boss fight. Most over powered boss in fighting game history

Blazblue already beat it this generation, so how can it be the best of "all time"?

Killzone 2 is the best fighting game of all time.Prydes

WIN

seriously though it is an amazing game, not my favourite of all time but certainly among the top. i still play it all the time after 200+ hours, and the play is still competitive. usually in fighting games, somebody emerges in the local group as the dominant player after a while, but in like five months sfiv is still very competitive.

nobody should care about the single player component of a fighting game. its like complaining about the single player mode in tribes.

Street Fighter 2 Turbo is my favorite in the series, and could be my favorite fighter of all time too.

meh SF 4 was good I guess.

My favorite fighting game of all time was Ultimate MK 3though, I love playing it still on the XBLA.

I'm glad someone made this thread, because now I can some out and say that I have no idea what it is so great about this game. I rented it yesterday to give it a try, and I think Soul Calibur is infinitely better. I would much rather play Soul Calibur IV than Street Figher IV. Why? Because you actually RUN in Soul Calibur. I felt so restricted in Street Fighter IV, which was the biggest negative. I also liked the 3D aspect of Soul Calibur more. You can move to different sides to dodge attacks. Sure, you can say I like simplistic fighers or something like that, but I enjoy the hell out of Soul Calibur more than Street Fighter IV. Does anyone getting what I'm saying? These two major things, plus the weapons, crazy-ass characters, and revealing costumes, all make Soul Calibur a much better experience. Is it just me? This figher seems better suited for me, and I got bored of Street Fighter IV quickly. It doesn't have as much options, either. There's nothing like the campaign mode from Soul Calibur II. There's the versus, arcade, and challenge mode... and that's it, unless you unlock more stuff I don't know about.DeathScape666

But I get what you're saying. SF series has always been more about spacing than flashy stuff. Sure, some of the supers look really cool, but overall it's caterred towards a closed-off audience.

I actually agree. People who own the 360 version will not though because of that gimped D-Pad they cant really enjoy the game so much.

The only fighting games I own are Dragonball Z: Taiketsu (which I don't really like) and Super Smash Bros Brawl. I must say, you are talking very highly of SF4. I find Brawl to be a nearly perfect game (with some minor flaws here and there). You are pretty much telling me that SF4 is a perfect game. I'm intrigued.

Are you sure that there are absolutely no flaws in Street Fighter 4 whatsoever? That this game can last for months on end? It would help if you described some of the aspects of Street Fighter 4. I myself have seen very little footage of the game. To me, it looks a lot like a Dragonball Z fighting game.

Virtua Fighter destroys it. And Soul Calibur probably isn't as deep, but it's always been massively fun for me.

I'm not sure there can be a best fighting game of all time. There are so many fighters that have so much depth and take ages to master. If you haven't mastered a fighting game, your opinion might as well be worthless.

[QUOTE="2-10-08"]If by nothing special you mean there's nothing else like it. It's easier to get into than most other fighting games, and yet also more competitive than both Soul Calibur IV and Street Fighter IV combined. 2-10-08

The characters are WAY unbalanced, the single player is pretty boring, online sux, graphics suck, etc...

Sagat and Zangief. Don't let either one land an ultra on you because that pretty much means the round is over for you.

But then yeah, no game is perfect, but SF4 is a really good game to last for months.

SFIV will be hated because that's the cool thing to do these days, hate on games and talk about how much things fail now.

I don't really like fighting games so this doesn't matter to me, just funny seeing people say dumb things like "its SFII with better graphics"

[QUOTE="DeathScape666"] Bashing Soul Calibur IV!? What!? I was simply stating why it has such a broad appeal, and used Soul Calibur IV as a comparison. I enjoy both, though. They are my favorite fighting game series, and I have been a fan of both since the very beginning of when they first started. Well, for Soul Calibur, I played that only in arcades until number II came out for the GameCube, but I did play that game in the arcades a lot!DeathScape666

Soul Calibur is a button masher. Street Fighter IV is a very deep game, and unless you have some kind of experience with the SF series, you probably wont enjoy it much. My friends thought the same when I showed them the game. SFIV is just not very accessible. Soul Calibur is a very easy game to pick up and play (button masher). Its a very tough game, but once you get a hang of it, and become good, it becomes amazing.
