    Very impressive gameplay footage, too bad the qaulity of the vid isn't as good!

    I hate ryu's voice in this game.

    Ok, so I didn't catch the ryu player using the dragon uppercut not once and he only used the hurricane kick to evade?

     

    I don't want to be quick in calling things but either that ryu player sucks.... or they have changed some gameplay elements that make people alter fighting style.

    this game looks like garbage compared to soul calibre 4...gameplay looks weak.   i would pay at the most 25 dollars for this as a ps store download.  should wait for a new tekken title instead of this game.

    even the naruto and dbz titles look like they have far more depth than this one.    they should be ashamed to ask 60 for this one.

    Ok........both those players suck and ryu used Hadouken like a million times. This video just reminded me of how much i miss good old SF Alpha 3 and its high speed battles.

    Darn!  Everybody knows Ryu is the ultimate Street Fighter, and, if, that were me playing as Him, then Sagat would've died in less than forty seconds.  Anyways, beautiful video, and I am definately going to buy this.  Puts a smile on my face that the LOWRIDER CULTURE  lives on and it is now worldwide.

    Wow... I was really excited about this game.  This just looks absolutely horrible.  Graphics are extremely subpar at best and gameplay looks painfully boring.  Not to mention the voice acting makes me want to shoot myself in the face.  Probably going to pass on this one.

    hm..the game doesn't seem very balance, Sagat still has the upperhand just like the original one. Ryu could nearly get on him

    @ mystic 4106..

    no the point is not to keep it original...otherwise they would have released the original and retitled it SF IV.   the point is to make it look MUCH better and add new gameplay elements so it is suitable for upgraded consoles.   I didnt pay 600 for the ps3 to have lazy developers put a prettier skin on old games.   I want a new game engine, new animations, more depth, MUCH better looking, and original genre ideas.     Soul calibre gave us that with great gameplay, online, and deep rich character creation system.

    all this game gives us is SF 2 Turbo with online and its SLIGHTLY better looking. I would expect a game like this on the ps2.

    I hate to say it, but this looks incredibly lame.  I loved the old SF's, but I will definitely NOT be buying this one!  This game looks like it could be supported on the PS2 easily.  What is it 300 MB or something?

    this is complete crap.just fireball after fireball..seriously tedious to watch.just as boring to play.seriously who is going to pay money for this 2D cack,when you got games like soul calibur 4??

    ryu did not use uppercut or hurricane kick because both are easily dodgeable and very punishable. short horizontal range on the uppercut leaves it for anti-air, and sagat never left himself open for a counter while he was jumping. same with hurricane kick, it's mostly an air-counter or combo stringer. ryu player wasn't good enough to work it in. also, you can dodge it just by crouching so you don't open with it unless you want to eat punishment.

    the developers said they wanted to bring back the old school gameplay where fireballs were actually dangerous, and that's what they did. if you watch SFIII gameplay, no one uses fireballs because they are just free power guage raisers with the parry system. in SFIV you have to either use your own fireball, or jump dodge leaving you potentially open to more damage.

    but i'm not sure if this was tournament level gameplay. i haven't been following it too much, and if this is it, i'm kinda dissapointed at the gameplay.

    This game looks so bad I couldn't bear to finish watching the footage. The graphics look terrible. Everyone is over buff like some Mid-decade Madden players.  Sagat is more of a tall muscular figure with a bit of slenderness about him. Once more, he's much taller than Ryu, even crouching. The gameplay looks stagnant and not even of comparable flow to a King of Fighters of a Marvel vs. Capcom. It looks like they tried too hard for 3D graphics in a 2-D game and it backfired bad. I won't even touch this game unless I happen to be at a friend's place and he has it or if it's on a demo at a store. This is not worth $60.
