Street Fighter IV, Pinoy Style

Posted on February 26th, 2009. Written by Rico.

Look! It’s a video of Street Fighter IV on an HDTV, running on an XBox 360!

Whoops, looks like the handicap system here is different than on other fighting games!

First impressions? If you know your Street Fighter 2, you’ll do well in Street Fighter IV. Capcom didn’t change the key combos of classic moves like the Hadouken, Sonic boom, and Screwdriver. And if you know how to “freeze” or enemies in the older game, opening them up for deadly combos, you can do the same here.

To make a long story short: Street Fighter IV is basically Street Fighter 2 remade, albeit with much better graphics and super moves.

(Playing: Alvin Jimenez and Josh Alonso)

Amazing graphics! But isn’t “Each time I fight you I feel something new and different” kind of… brokeback-ish?

Why do you think we were laughing? Ryu’s other phrases are pretty boring though… “I find glory in the heart of battle” is so cliche! (or something like that)

Apart from there having been two pinoys playing it, what was distinctly “pinoy style” about any of this? Nothing in the vid, nothing in the article. Just saying.

  Well, there you have it: Doubt people from other countries would react the same way to accidentally setting their game to a one-hit kill.

That’s a poor review just saying it’s just like street fighter 2, sure it does play like a 2D fighter, It has alot more depth with cancels, ex moves and cancels and focus attacks, just by saying that it’s basically sf2 is poor

  And that’s a poor statement saying that I was just saying it’s just like street fighter 2. Where’d you get that idea?
