So, I woke up today, went to gamestop, picked up a copy of Street Fighter 4 for PS3, got back home and popped that shit in...
HOLY FUCKING SHIT
I swear if anyone hasn't gotten this game yet, GET IT! It's very, VERY fun!
I've already went through the game with 2 characters so far (Ken and Abel. Abel is pretty bad ass. Hes got a nice chain combo which you can mix and match shit) and have played I think 7 or 8 online matches so far. I won my first online match against a C.Viper player, who was pretty decent. The online, surprisingly, was really good and had very little to no lag issues at all. One thing I've noticed about some players is that they will do any kind of spam to win the round if you are about to win (3 ryu players kept jumping into the air at me and then doing a low heavy kick when they hit the ground, I still beat them but they like low kicking you till they get you down to their level of health or they win.)
There are also a TON of Ryu players online (so far that's all I've fought besides C.Viper which is kinda gay but whatever). Japanese players are crazy at this fucking game. I went up against a JP and he kicked my ass...well more like destroyed my ass. I managed to win one round against him out of 3. Even though he won, he was very sportsman-like and gave me some tips and help on some things about the game. He said "Keep playing, even if you lose, keep playing and you'll get really good at Street Fighter. I played since SF2 so I have much more years over you but still, keep playing online and you'll get good." That guy was a true street fighter player, not a douche or anything of that sort. Also, since he was in japan there was a bit of latency but the game didn't studder. It was more of a controller input lag but it was pretty damn close to instant.
So yeah, Street Fighter 4 is probably one of the best fighting games I've played so far. I thought Third Strike was great, this is even better in a lot of ways (more balancing and shit). Online is solid and there is very little lag to none when you are in a match. I do have one complaint about the online though. I'm not sure if they put this in or not but they should add a system where you can rate your opponent (like if he was a spammer or a decent player, people will know what to expect when they fight that player). Overall, it was worth the $35 I spent on it (traded in LBP because no one was playing it :< so I got like $24 from that and they also took off $6 for trading in a game on the release date for it) and I say its worth the $59.99 too. I was debating on whether I should of rented SF4 and bought KZ2 but now I've changed my mind on that and I think I changed it for the better
.PLOID, ORAPHIN, ANYONE ELSE THAT HAS PS3, GET THAT SHIT SO WE CAN FIGHT EACH OTHER AND GET BETTER!.
