SF wasn't an SF game to me. It only had a very small handful of SFII's characters.

cali surfer's logic amazes me.

Oh, by the way... it seems that the leader of the Capcom Japan development team for Street Fighter IV is... Yoshinori Ono, a man behind the following games:

Shin Onimusha: Dawn of Dreams.
Shadow of Rome.
Chaos Legion.
Capcom Fighting Jam / Evolution.


:|


Seriously, Capcom. WTF were you thinking when assigning that man such an important project?


EDIT: Yep, they confirmed it at Capcom Gamers Day


Just in case someone wants to know what this guy has done so far in Capcom: Yoshinori Ono

... yes, he hasn't done SH*T.

SFII, and all the alpha and EX games kept at least some of the characters in tact. I dont see whats wrong with me hating SF3rd Strike. I just didnt like it. It felt like they just threw ugly sprites over the other SF characters. Maybe I should give it another chance, its been more than a few years since I played it. Im also not a fighting game nerd, (i dont mean that offensively) I play Bemani, RPGs, and castlevania, but I dont follow anything religiously accept the Bemani games. I injoy fighting games, but, as I have said before, my knowledge is extremely limited. and........I dunno, 3rd strike just didnt feel like SF to me.

Ive never played SF 1 before either, so.....yeah

Wasnt Capcom Fighting Evolution that game with all the crappy characters from the capcom fighting games that everyone hated?

I respect that however, calling it a bad game would be downright ignorant.

If you've never played the original, you don't have the right to say SF3 doesn't feel like Street Fighter. Only that it doesn't feel like Street Fighter II, which it doesn't. Duh.

If they don't rework the system heavily yet again, I'll be disappointed.

Red Earth was fucking awesome. The way they were put in Evolution wasn't.

Didn't miss much there, except a WHITE Birdie, and his excuse:

Evolution wasn't that bad. At least they had the sense to include the best characters from Alpha.

Officially, you have the WORST taste in fighting games ever

CFE was shit. As much as anyone can like it, but it doesn't change the fact that it was horrendous in a lot of aspects. The SFZ chars are far from being things that would save the game from being crap.

[cj iwakura]

This from a guy who hates King of Fighters?

[Kyosuke Kagami]

Dude, I used to play KOF way before you ever heard about it, back when the saga was still good (94-98). After that, it all went to hell and current KOF games are average stuff (or horrendous crap, like KOF MI games).

In any way, it doesn't change the fact that:

-CFE is a horrible game.
-Yoshinori Ono being in charge of SF IV =

[Mangojoyride]

are you saying this is a good possibility that it will be a travesty to the street fighter name?

god i hope not. i liked 3rd strike on the dreamcast.

[Kyosuke Kagami]

Yes, there's a high possibility that may happen :/ And that's why I'm worried.

Oh, BTW, I change what I said earlier: ALL current KOF games nowadays are crap (including XI), compared to REAL masterpieces like 95, 97 or 98.

[Vangulus The Great]

Capcom stole so much from SNK it's not even funny anymore.

SF only got credit because it got out there first. KoF did much more to revolutionize the fighting genre than SF could ever hope to accomplish.

MI was a cop out so they could make more titles, I will admit but they kind of had to because of microsofts demands.

With repetition comes mediocrity eventually unless that same stuff is so different/original people will demand more to play more of the same. Sadly, KoF just became another 2-D fighter among a zillion others.

That and real 3-D fighters started muscling in. (Soul Caliber, Virtua Fighter, Tekken)

The 2-D fighter is dying. Ask any fan. Smash doesn't into this because it technically isn't a "fighting game" but more of a "party brawler".

[Kyosuke Kagami]

I don't see any detail proposed by KOF that was way more significant than anything SF has done.

It simply followed a different formula... a formula which got ruined and f***ed from KOF99 and the rest.

SF was the game that established the basic of practically ALL modern fighting games (life bars, time meter, 1 vs 1 fighting scheme), how could KOF surpass that? It's simply impossible.
