Capcom Forgot How to Count to Five

I didn't see a Dive Kick mode. No sale.

Crapcom

@ollyoxenfree Yeah, although I think that's an excuse for "look guys, if we put these characters in it'll save us so much time and money" but they can't really say that I guess.

From what I remember, when Capcom announced the balance patch a few months back people got overexcited and were speculating on new characters being added. They were silent on the idea until Error (the dude you're talking about) put rolento crudely in, which might have motivated them.

While I would rather have other characters, that's just my tastes. I think using the 4 SFXT characters is smart on Capcom's end, if a bit shitty. Although to be honest I play AE2012 that much that I'd pay the $15 for the balance patch alone :p

Their argument was that players wanted those characters but did not want to play SFxT. Some dude actually modded Rolento into SSFIV so I guess that proves that there is interest.

I'd rather they make a new street fighter with some new mechanics like SF4 back in the day. Focus attacks were a really cool new feature. FADC!

I'm more hype for the balance patch than the new content lol.

It does seem lazy of them to be porting the 4 SFXT characters but it's understandable. They'll be saving a lot of development time as their animations / models are done for the most part.

It seems others have mentioned it, but just to reiterate: the only new thing this game is adding is one new character. All of the other "new" content is ripped directly from Street Fighter X Tekken (read: the six new stages and four out of five characters are all from SFxT).

This is exceptionally uninspired... but, I have a feeling Capcom fans will eat it up anyway.

I seriously don't think the game need additional rosters. It's freaking crowded as it is.

Seems worth $15 if you're still playing SFIV after all this time. Even if you're not interested in playing as any of the new characters it'll at least mix things up and give you new people to fight against.

I've never been a Street Fighter fan but I actually appreciate the way they crank out 'EX' editions of their games, and the fact it's supported via DLC so that you dont have to buy a new version like you would a COD game (which hasnt really advanced much since it's 4th incarnation either) is admirable.

. . . YEAH!

Damn Capcom, stop supporting this game and adding new content to keep the game competitive and interesting! What a bunch of assholes! I'll just wait for super ultra hyper Street Fighter 4 extra arcade 2015 am i rite guys?

I'll see about this...

I was thinking about maybe picking up SSF4AE during the summer's Steam Sale but this news has driven me to a resolve of not buying that and not buying this.

This is dumb. Hey we have these models we made for the Tekken crossover thing, how about just dumping them into SF4 and something and profit? And they're putting this out on disc in addition to the downloadable DLC. What the fuck, Capcom? This is a level of stupid above and beyond the usual I expect from them.

-___-

I like the cut of your jib.

I've only bought the original Street Fighter IV, so I'm all in for Ultra Street Fighter IV 3rd-ish Strike.

Please just stop capcom. You are milking the fuck outta street fighter iv, this is street fighter 2 all over again. What next sfiv the ultra next gen edition. Sorry capcom but you just turned this into another joke.

So hype! Ultra hype!

Poison looks incredibly similar to Dr. Rockso. The Rock N' Roll Clown.

Wasn't it Jeff who tweeted about corporate cashgrabs? Hmm...

I'm gonna have to fight the urge to get this just for completionist sake. SFIV is a fine fighting game all told, but it plays like garbage on a controller and I don't want to buy a fighting stick so...yeah. Gonna skip this one.

Birdie's not Mad Gear, homie.

I'm all excited and stuff. Not enough to buy this, but I do appreciate that its got a 15 dollar upgrade option instead of their typical "buy this again because of bright colors"

Calling it right here, the 5th will be Rainbow Mika.

I don't know how I feel about this.....

Hopefully they put more effort into this next iteration than they did the announcement/trailer....

My biggest beef with the SFIV series has always been the soundtrack. Where is Okugawa-san? I would pay him $60 to compose new music for each stage.

Man Street Fighter IV is still one of the best looking games out there. I still suck but it's nice to look at.

GET HYPE

@mcquinn said:

Yeah. Pretty much the only way I'd buy this is if they added all the Darkstalkers, since we can't have nice things like a new Darkstalkers game and instead get more reheated leftovers like this and crossover games no one ever asked for or wanted ever in the history of the world (Street Fighter X Tekken). You gotta love how that latter one was such a bomb that the Tekken vs. SF game was apparently killed.

I wanted to get back into SF and was thinking of getting Arcade Edition on Steam. Are there still a good base of players on consoles or PC. Never played on PC before.

Judging by the comments, balancing an old fighting game with new characters is a god damn piece of cake. You just port them into the game and make it fit, amirite?

It's like we're having the "How the fuck does it cost $150k to add a new character to Skull Girls" discussion again.

Why, I remember waaaay back in 2010 when I bought the second edition of this game and stopped playing it after my first five matches.

There are people who fighting game players and people who play fighting games.

Reading through these comments, it's pretty easy to tell which is which.

we finally get rolento, hugo and poison. now all we need is birdie and sodom and the whole mad gear gang is here. i would rather it was on next gen not current gen, but if they were going to do that they should call it SFV not IV.

I'm massively into fighting games, and so would buy this almost regardless of price, HOWEVER

This does seem very lazy, as porting the SFxT models and changing the characters to fit into SFIV isn't really that hard, and the stages are just ripped straight from SFxT. For $15 you can buy games that have had years of hard work put into them or get fighters from a 1 year old game ported into a 4 year old one... The balance changes are also minimal work.

For $15 I would love a 'new' version, you know, with new mechanics/systems a new twist! Make it seem like they actually tried. I absolutely love that SFIV is getting new stuff, and was unbelievably hype just for the balance patch taken from fan feedback, I just wish they wouldn't try to mug me off.

SFIV: Salvage edition.

God yes.

15$ for 6 new stages and 5 new characters how is that a bad thing? Yeah there from SFxT so what? They'll have different move sets and specials/ultras. Lots of fans have been asking for these characters in the main SF so Capcom made the push to put them in the game. SFV was always going to be next gen, its not like Capcom is forcing you to buy this DLC. People state they just ported them as if the team didn't have to do any work to put them in SFIV. This will probably be the last update in terms of characters and modes for SFIV, at least Ono continues to support it unlike what happened with UMvC3. I'll take an update DLC every year and half over the game getting nothing despite the fans wanting more.

That just looks lazy...

Q: How many times can you release the same game and still have people buy it?

A: A lot

I'm a huge defender of SSFIV. It's the first fighting game I properly learnt how to play, but they are positively getting lazy. Oni and Evil Ryu were pretty boring versions of existing characters, and four of these "new" guys were in SFxT. Sure, I'd rather play them in SFIV, but it's still too little. You'd think with how the industry typically is, we could have gotten a sequel by now.

ZUBAZ

The street fighter team is so full of shit.

Next up is Ultra Street Fighter IV: Mega Ultra Chicken Edition.

Make the final character Scorpian and let Netherrelm put Ryu into Injustice, and then make the Mortal Kombat vs Street Fighter & Street Fighter vs Mortal Kombat games.

Wow, good morning. I believe I'm now HYPED, thanks Capcom.

@divergence: Championship Ship Edition? Maritime Mauling? Nautical Knockouts? Really sounds like an idea that holds water!

Man, I'm seriously disappointed in Capcom. I mean, don't get me wrong- Capcom has consistently disappointed me in the past 2-3 years, but ever since Ultimate MvC3 came out in the same year as the original, I've been completely turned off by anything they've been putting out. It's just a gross business practice.

So I guess this trailer is what the MegaMan music team has been working on.

No it should not be Mike Haggar. We do not need another grappler.

I will stand by my guess of it being Goku. GOKU!

Technically it is, this is just DLC for SSFIV or you can get the disk if you don't have one already and get all the content so far.

Man, I don't care about Street Fighter at all, but, jeez, another iteration on IV? Aren't they overdoing it a tad?
