Quick Look: "Live": Super Street Fighter IV

OMG YOU GUYS SUCK @ STREET FIGHTER!!!!"£$"!! YOU NEED TO GET SOME L33T PLAYERS UP IN THAT SHIZ"£!!!

I should probably see an eye doctor, because the two color settings that Jeff couldn't distinguish, I could not distinguish either.

" THIS VIDEO LOADED UP FOR ME WAY TOO FAST GUYS.  WORK ON IT. "

Yeah, there's about a half-hour more or so, but it's mostly Vinny fumbling around with characters he doesn't know how to play, and as a result, sweeping like a mo-fo. Still very enjoyable.
 
It's alright, but to really get the full effect you have had to looked at the chat window full of SRK fighting game elitists talking about how terrible they are (of course, forgetting that not everyone can be SUPER HARDCORE PRO about fighting games. Especially people who have other games to play.) Then, you would have had the full experience.

Oh they kept the mic problems.
Headphones off.  :(

The new move list design is to accommodate players with non-HD TVs, right? The old one allowed them to fit everything onto one nice screen. Seems like a step back.

 Hey Giantbomb, this is Inverse_SRK from last night. On behalf of the forum, I'd really like to first, above all say thank you for taking the time to be the first people in the world to bring to us SF fans the news we needed to keep the lifeblood in our community strong.
 
You took our requests, even if you didn't originally want to, and your eagerness to please the people in your channel really showed a level of LOVE for gamers as a whole. You didn't have to do that, but you proved you're not just the same as every other PR gaming site out there who pretends to be a part of the pulse of this hobby, this lifestyle for the sake of a few bucks.
 
You guys are true gamers, and as such I have to apologize for some of the people last night who had to insult you just because your skills were considered "subpar". These are not the SRK "Elitists". The SRK elite know that you were just a group of friends, out there to have a good time. The true elite, the players out there trying to get better don't need to see you show off or perform like pros to be entertained. We love this game, to death and seeing you guys play as you did reminded me of a simpler time, when gaming wasn't such serious fucking business.
 
Where Vega had a cage and we would mash on punch with Blanka because we didn't know how to do any other move! Where our thumbs got sore because we kept trying to do dragon punches on that SNES controller. Where the idea of doing a Flash Kick was nearly impossible. Where we finished the game and celebrated with glee and pride, just to be told to "Try it in a Harder difficulty next time". 
 
SRK is still, right at this moment talking about the moves you did last night. Analyzing it like scientists and trying to see even the smallest detail. Being the first to prove Bloody High Claw hits upward in video form. One of the first in the world to test Bison's Psycho Punisher's distance (such patient application too!), and you gave us the first glimpse of the Rival BGM music for the cast! The first!
 
Not bad for "subpar" play. Hmph, you've done more for us than some "pros" have up to now. Real talk.
 
Thank you, for "Proving it Tonight". Perhaps I was a bit dramatic, but I needed you guys to hear me above the roar. You did. None of the true fans, will forget it. I guarantee you, you've made new ones yourselves for this.
 
Consider me one of them.

I wish I was as cool as Coonce

 Awesome quick look, missed my man Dhaslim :(

Just when they play Zangief they end.....fufufufufu. Totally regret not watching it yesterday. On the flip side, wanna play some SF4 now.

I think Juri makes me realize how lame Crimson Viper is by comparison.

Can't wait to (hopefully) crack some heads with Chun Li's gigantic thighs.

it seriously annoys me that they dont just record the whole thing for the site, i had a class right in the middle of the live stream, and alot of other people couldnt make it either i bet... why punish people who have shit to do?!?

Some Sweet Chin Music at the end

Man... I never realized how slow the fullscreen mode was until I saw something as fast and fluid as SF4. I gotta watch it at regular size to make it look smooth.

A for effort, f for execution. Appreciate the footage though :)

" A for effort, f for execution. Appreciate the footage though :) "

I always thought they would be batter at this game then they are after how much mess they talked about shitty players when SFIV first came out. I'm not trying to be some high and mighty douche bag shoryuken dude, but I find it kinda funny that they invested in arcade sticks when there was clearly no point lol.

You know they get the game and do a live quick look, and you bastards cant appreciate it at all. Like seriously, who else does this? Go watch your damn stale trailers and bs and quit whining about skill.

man ryan,  
 
you didn't suck like usual 

I only caught like 5 minutes of the live stream yesterday, so you guys are EXTRA awesome for putting all of it up on the site.  I've yet to watch it but I probably won't have much to comment on because I'm not that good at fighting games, although I love fighting games.  For that reason I'm commenting before I fire up the video to say thank you giantbomb.  You truly are covering the games that really matter.  As a side note if anyone's putting negative comments on this guaranteed awesomeness, DOOMONYOU!

Something about Sakura reminds me of Chie.

I really enjoy those hippos in the africa level.  They really like to watch the fight.

amazing stuff guys, and inverse is right, the real sf players know that everyone started somewhere and that you are just having fun, absolutly adore you guys!!!

That was alot of fun to watch, thanks for the preview guys. 
 
Btw the offer still stands., Me and the rest of the staff over at newgrounds.com would love to have a game night with you guys when this badboy is officially released.!!

Damnit, I missed the awesome part.

Man it'd suck to be color blind.

Hippos love to watch blood sports, naturally.

Never much of a fighter fan, but always enjoyable to watch the fights. and quick look site version cut. Dammit. XD

Thought you were joking at the end there...

Shoulda had a quick look to avoid the shoryuken guys moaning about various things to test.

Wow, 1hour+  quick look.

I wish I was good at fighting games. This looks like fun. 

Requesting GB Crew SSF4 Tournament. Make it happen(and film it offc)

Ryan reading out the questions reminds me of On The Spot. Nostalgia!

they should have used sakuras second ultra *mabufu*

I have a question for those who know about fighting games well, I haven't played one in a long while and the last one was Soul Calibur, I really liked the looks of SF4 and now this, so for someone who is pretty much new to it but wants to play a fighting game should I get SSF4?

The lack of Fuerte in this video is disturbing.
