Street Fighter 4 is a pretty popular fighter for the PC, XBox 360, and PS3. As a semi-ashamed owner of a PS3, I figured I would finally give the game a shot. Now granted, I devoted very little time to the fighter. Roughly 4 hours total... Regardless, in that 4 hour time period, I came to realize something, or rather, something that I had once believed was re-confirmed for me. I hate fighting games. I simply never liked traditional, 2-D fighting games, they just don't cut my mustard, or something like that... As you may know or assume, I love Super Smash Bros. Brawl, which is technically a fighter, though the term is used loosely. In Brawl, your character has a specific move set, but what you do with that is left to your imagination. Brawl is about creating your own combos, and there are thus an almost infinite amount of them to be discovered. I felt with SF4 I was limited to what the game offered me. Combos were essentially mapped out for you: Down, right, square, repeat. Granted, there is nothing particularly wrong with this formula of two opponents trading blows via predetermined combos, however, I find the fact that many people play it competitively a little odd. I don't see how you can take your "game" past a certain point in Street Fighter, or other fighters like it, where as with Brawl, I find myself and others constantly finding new ways to advance our play style. Eh, either way, once again, this is all simply opinion, and not in anyway a review for the game.
Just letting you know that as far as I am concerned, I shall not be buying Street Fighter 5 when it inevitably is released.
