Surprisingly, once you clear that level and get into the 2000-points bracket, they all go away, replaced by Blanka and Balrog and Sagat.<BR/><BR/>And yeah, I am having difficulty convincing people that you don't need to Focus Dash Ultra Whatnot to play Street Fighter.

Hopefully we didn't run too wild with your post's point. ;-)<BR/><BR/>I just read your review of Street Fighter IV, I liked how you handled the "stick" question.<BR/><BR/>One of the biggest suprises of Street Fighter IV is how much I actually want to play it. I initially had very little interest in the game, but upon watching a few videos, I was rocketed back to the early 90s. I'm still getting these sudden waves of nostalgia when I see a dragon punch or sonic boom. <BR/><BR/>It seems that this current Street Fighter has ventured into Smash Bros. territory: people who might not even like the genre will play the game because they have fond memories of the characters.Scott Justerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11775296635863850847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8074451.post-16290933537217076922009-03-04T13:49:00.000-05:002009-03-04T13:49:00.000-05:00SF4 seems to be rather inaccessible to newcomers.W...SF4 seems to be rather inaccessible to newcomers.<BR/>Which seems odd to me because I have played SF for years.<BR/>But I have a few friends who bought it for the 360 and are having a really hard time with it. They get their asses kicked in round 3. They complain about the controls. About the difficulty of the special and super moves.<BR/>Worst of all, they insist on playing it with the analog stick, which seems incomprehensible to me.<BR/><BR/>I try and explain what makes street fighter so good, and I try to temper my enthousiasm for the game.<BR/>But they keep on ranting how tekken, which is the game they grew up with, is the superior game across the board.<BR/><BR/>Unfortunantly I'm a pc gamer so I have to wait untill I get a chance to play it.<BR/>If the game is not GFW live maybe we'll get another batch of Ken players then. But if it is, maybe we'll have a little variety in the match-ups.Jorilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03532175537819864045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8074451.post-75583251378087648022009-03-04T13:47:00.000-05:002009-03-04T13:47:00.000-05:00It was weird how everybody who absolutely destroye...It was weird how everybody who absolutely destroyed me played as Ken.
