Genre: 2.5D Traditional Fighting Game
Genre: 2.5D Traditional Fighting Game Summary: SFIV is a footsies-based fighting game that emphasizes slow methodical play and meter management between rounds. Game features the inclusion of 'focus attacks', a universal move that grants a character one hit of armour and the potential to crumple the opponent; the nature of focus attacks allow characters to aggressive advance through attacks without infringing upon the effectiveness of projectile characters. Pros: - 39 characters, an additional 5 in Ultra Street Fighter 4. - The majority of match-ups are balanced (future update to provide further balance). - Decent netcode if neither player has much traffic. - Large established player base online and offline. - Great for players trying to get into fighting games. Will teach fundamentals through play and the abundant tutorials on the internet. Cons: - Single-player modes are lacking; arcade mode has terrible A.I. and the challenges aren't fun. - The game itself does not provide instruction to newer players. - No theatre mode for the animated clips from Arcade Mode. Neutral Points: - There will be a learning curve; it is a fighting game afterall. If you are a new player then you will be terrible for a while. - Input leniency allows newer players to perform special moves more easily but can become an annoyance at higher level play. - There is a comeback factor for newer players (Ultra) which becomes a tool at higher level play. - The plot is barebones, but hey, that's a norm for fighting games.

Can't get past Ryu Trial #1
Can't get past Ryu Trial #1 10/10 No, for real though, Ultra Street Fighter IV is a superb fighting game, boasting some of the most iconic characters, music, and mechanics that's ever been put on PC, Console, or otherwise. Keep in mind that this isn't a overly fast-paced 10,000 combo fighter, know that Online Multiplayer has a few hiccups, but overall is actually quite good now, grasp that USFIV doesn't play like Third Strike or Street Fighter II in regards to timing and execution (though some aspects definitely strike Street Fighter II more than any other SF title to date), don't expect too much from this title in regards to story, and you'll know what to expect if you've every even glanced at someone else playing a Street Fighter game. Like any other Fighting Game, it will take time and dedication to arrive at the same level as others you might come across online, but at the end of the day the rewards greatly outweigh the effort you'd put into the game. If you like Fighting Games at all, PICK THIS UP. Maybe when it's on Sale, though. I know the struggle.
