The 4 thinks I love about Street Fighter 4 are:

1) Doing M.Bison's (Vega's) EX Head Stomp over and over again.

2) Doing a foward throw with Ryu to win a round. His face looks sooo funny in slow motion.

3) Doing Fei Long's ultra combo finish.

4) Watching Cammy's tight azz before the match starts.

Everything else about Street Fighter 4 is terrible. In my opinion, Street Fighter 4 is the worst game in the series. SF4 has very poor controls and is unplayable on a controller. If your planning to compete online or master the game with a 1000 achivement points, you'll need to get a top-quality arcade stick. After that you'll begin to wonder why normal moves and special moves don't hit in critical situation. Well, you can blame Capcom for that because SF4 has sooo many errors it's not funny. Gameplay is sloppy and broken. And don't get me started with the graphics. It seems to me that Capcom was using Dreamcast quality graphics. For a game that was released in 2008, I expect top-notch character models and 3D backrounds. Don't believe the hipe people. SF4 is an epic fail compared to past games. Any true gamer will tell you that. Bottemline, Capcom needs to work much harder. As Goken would say to Capcom: "You are not yet ready."

Several things wrong with this game. The 3D character models are good, but not great. For a 25th anniversary and highly anticipated sequel, the character models just don't seem perfect. The fighting moves are good, but it feels like something is missing. Also Street Fighter 4 lacks a tight fighting system. I enjoy Street Fighter 3 Third Strike and Street Fighter 3 Alpha a lot more because of the fluid animations and tight fighting system. The graphics are good and clear though. But the backgrounds are boring, and don't make much sense. There is a background that I fought Sagat in, and there were kids running around in the background. Other backgrounds are uninspired, and looks like they were put in as a last second effort. The energy bar has a weird curve to it. It seems like it is a programming flaw, but it was intentional. It just doesn't look right. However, there are a good number of fighters, all the originals from the Super Street Fighter 2 games, plus four new ones. There's an arcade mode, versus mode, and time trial/survival challenge mode. A game like this should have integrated a World Warrior mode similar to Soul Calibur 2 where you travel through different areas and develop different super moves, etc. The four new characters are terrible and their animations are not fluid or practical. This game is just very disappointing from what I expected. I got tired of playing it after a half hour. I can't play it more than a half hour when friends come over. The fun factor just isn't there. I will stick with Marvel vs. Capcom 2 and the other better fighting games. STREET FIGHTER IV gets a rating of 5 out of 10.

Thanks capcom for locking two of my favorite characters, So now I have to try to beat this extremely cheap boss who can teleport and cheat left and right. I think this whole locked feature thing has got to go away. the way soul calibur does there locked feature system is with money so you actually have fun playing the game racking up money and then trading it in for characters and features. but not in street fighter 4, they made the boss so f--king cheap and you have to beat him if want to unlock all the hidden characters, I think thats bulls--t. so f--k you capcom.

With that huge flaw aside the game is actually very very good.
