Its cartoony in the wrong way. Too colourful to be as good as the Street Fighter anime, and not stylish enough to be anything like Viewtiful Joe or Killer 7.

I think this game will tank unless the fighting mechanics are as slick as the 2D originals. And somehow I' m doubtful that' ll be the case.

I still love it. The backgrounds look like a 3d version of the original SF2 backgrounds, and the body distortion would simply enhance the visual impact of action.
In motion the distortion probably wouldn' t even be noticeable.
If it wasn' t exaggerated and cartoonish it wouldn' t look like street fighter, and regular cell-shading would take all the charm out of it.
The Naruto style would look nice if this was SF Alpha, but it wouldn' t be appropriate here. Remember, the original Street Fighter series never looked like anime, that was the Alpha style.

But I love the Alpha style
Meh, whatever. They' ll sort things out...

The first shot makes him look like he' s got a hard-on.

Am I the only one that sees that?

Think of it as an animated painting. I like the style.

Well, here is what we all wanted to see, SF4 in motion. Its a 20 minute video, and most of it its 1up impressions, but there are gameplay clips in it. I think the first is at the 3 minute mark.


SF4 in Motion

Streetfigher EX all over again.

It looks like hand-drawn Street Fighter in 3D, which is exactly what it should look like. I' m glad they didn' t go with the generic cell-shaded look of say, Naruto.

I DO hate Ryu' s face ( he looks half insane, lol) but I love the expression on his face when Ken catches him in the gut.

Overall, I' m loving it.

I dont know what to think, I dont hate it but I certainly dont love it.

It looks cool but I' d prefer if it had looked a little more 2D. A little more paint-look, you know.

The art style in the announcement trailer was very ' Okami' They should have gone with that.

I liked the Okami style from the trailer as well. Though I have no major beef at the way is looking right now, I really don' t like how " primate" like both Ryu and Ken look. Their arms and legs are also too big, looks like they' re injecting themselves with steroids or something.

Good thing I' m not the only one that thinks that . I would hate to see Chung-li or any other female character.

Ken and Ryu have always had enormous muscles.

But they used to look proportionate to their bodies.

I' m not into the style either, and I dont see the point of ' going back to street fighter 2' for gameplay either. Why do people want a fourth street fighter that plays the same, only to find their d-pads suck?

I for one don' t want it to go back to SF2. I want evolution! I like it that they are keeping it 2-D, but they have to improve over Third Strike in terms of move sets, characters and features. They' re supposed to have all this experience from their Capcom VS... series and all the SF, RS' s and Darkstalkers they' ve done, so they should put it to use.

I hope the upgrade the move sets . But don' t mess with the core game play keep it like the old days with the d-pad and all. If they change it and make it like tekken or VF5 . Then I am going to sit this one out. If its not broken please leave it alone.

I really love the way it looks.

New character...



...very King of Fighters...
