Please tell me why Street Fighter is so hard...

I can't beat the damn arcade mode on regular difficulty! It's too hard....ugh....the game would be cool if it wasn't so brutally difficult.

Who plays a fighting game for single player anyways?KHAndAnime

I just started playing SFIV and I'm on Arcade mode.

I swear I can't take this frustration...it's sending my blood pressure soaring. Screw it. I'll play on Very Easy rather than deal with this bullcrap.

Exactly, that's what single player or 1v1 game does, you've only got yourself to blame when other people could beat it on hard while you are stuck on medium. That's why fighting games are really soul crushing cause you have noone to blame but yourself. :P

But we've all got to start some where right?

I don't like playing Easy..I always like playing Normal/Medium. Usually, the medium difficulty isn't this difficult...

[QUOTE="a55a55inx"] there you go... that's what I was gonna say... SF games have always been challenging, most Street Fighter veterans could go through the campaign on the regular difficulty but you need to start somewhere since you've never played much street fighter before. Don't be ashamed to start at the lowest level.salxis

I've played plenty of other fighters such as DBZ Budokai, Super Smash Bros., Soul Calibur, Tekken and Mortal Kombat and none of them are as frustrating and difficult on Normal difficulty as Street Fighter is.

Street Fighter was always pointed towards the vets of fighting games more. Plus I think they make it difficult for the purpose of players not bashing it for being too easy. They just wanted to make something that would make you feel accomplished when you beat it, not for being easy but for skill.

Oh...what I thought was the final stage was two stages previous to the final stage..well I finally beat Rufus with Ryu, lost to Sagat, switched to E. Honda and beat El Fuerte and now I'm against Seth AKA Silver Surfer with a Yin Yang symbol for a stomach.

Is it okay if I play on Very Easy and only get about a third of the achievements?

Just practice, I thought it was really hard as well, but after I got really good with one character I was able to beat it on the hardest difficulty without continues.

I don't wanna be considered worthless for playing on Very Easy :(

I dont think it matters how good you are at Street Fighter, Seth is still harder than he should be, never played anything as ridiculous as the boss on this game.

So I can enjoy the game on Very Easy if I want? I may bump up to Easy :P

Think about this, Street Fighter IV is also available on Arcade machines. And what does ARC do? They eat coins, lots and lots of coins. And in order to let the players feed more coins, they would... you know now.luke89330

What I also did was change the rounds to only one round per battle in Arcade. That makes it a lot quicker and much less of a pain since I don't have to worry about winning one round but losing the other two and losing the battle.

Just choose a character and practice all their specials and combos. It might take a while but eventually you should get better.

All I can say is really, at least its not no where near as annoyingly hard as dead or alive 4 was...god that game made me pop blood vessels anytime I tried to go above the lowest difficulty...

You must defeat Sheng long to stand a chance!

on arcade in the highest difficulty i can beat up any charachter except seth that guy will own me

I prefer playing one round matches on Arcade mode in fighting games because I can get through the mode more quickly and easily. If I'm playing VS. matches, I like having 2 rounds to make the match longer and more interesting but having more than one round in Arcade just serves to waste time.

Is it okay to play Arcade with one round per match?

I had a similar thing with mortal combat for the nintendo ds lol, on the easiest setting i got my ass kicked soooooooooooo bad, i never won a match lol.

I take it you've never played a traditional fighter before.

DragonRebel0908

yes you can, but the last boss will start withhis special moves, i bought this game saturday and yes it is very hard and im playing it onthe easiest difficultyif that makes you feel better.

Having more than one round set just makes the match draw out too long and it makes it way more of a hassle to win.

Ugh...I spent over 2 hours trying to beat Arcade mode on Medium, and some guy on YouTube beat Hardest in 15 minutes :|

:(

Also, I don't think I'll unlock Gouken because I can't fulfill all the requirements.
