Quick Look: Super Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition

That Tokido-Daigo ending was pretty slick

LMAO," they must be alright" oh boy Jeff.

"assuming these guys are even good..."
lol brad...

Diggin the new design guys, nice job!

I have to admit, watching a match replay of Tokido vs Daigo on Xbox Live while commenting on how Japanese players don't play fighting games on Xbox Live is kind of hilarious.

I was laughing when I seen that Tokido and Daigo were the replay they were watching right after they said that thing about Japan.

i think im gonna get this for PC

SSF4 is only 19 dollars on Amazon, is it really worth it to buy this for 40 dollars?

Brad: "Assuming these guys are even good- I mean there are people lining up to watch this replay... they must be alright."

Ignorance is bliss...

There are not enough faux duke nukem lines in this quick look.

Problem with competitive game is that the newest version is where most people are. If you just want to play around a bit it's definately a really good game for a great price, but for competition, you should get AE.  edit: Oh and it's also available as DLC for Super.

Tekken 5 was PS2, not PS3.  Also, Tekken 6 came out on both PS3 and 360.

Third Strike online coming soon!  Save your money.  Don't bother with this slow rubbery polygonally grotesque modern trash.  xD
 
Seriously though.  3S forever.  <3
 
Also, Tokido's demon to win the match was pretty slick. 

most of the top japanese players play the 360 version.

It did come out as Tekken 5 Dark Resurrection for PSN.

one of the first PSN games, i believe.

I want this so bad but Windows Live is being a finicky piece of shit and won't let me ever login.

Balls.

Oh Jeff, fighting games never went away... You did. And as long as there are fighting games, there will be a fighting game community. But I agree, if Evil Ryu and a dark blue Akuma are all that they are adding, then they should just take a break and do something else for a bit.

I don't see what's so masterful about throwing endless projectiles and cornering people: yes I know: "If the game let's you do it..." Well the game shouldn't let you do it: High level play becomes nothing more than who can be the cheapest; it's like Mortal Kombat but without the fatalities.

What I want: Street Fighter Alpha 2 part 2.

This game seems to have a lot going on in it.

I think Daigo should start calling himself "That gameinn guy" ^^

You guys should definitely head out to Evo and make a video of the trip.

Oh Jeff, fighting games never went away... You did.

They spend half the video talking about how impenetrable this scene is and hey look, a billion snotty comments from fighting game fans totally perplexed and indignant that someone might not know some specific players by name.

Guy on the right spams a bunch of fireballs and gets his ass kicked. Eight year old trying to figure out the controls? No you idiot, it's the Best Street Fighter In The World.

I love watching people play fighting games but MK is the only one I enjoy playing.

SSF4 was not received that much better than AE. Also, I wish they would just look at move lists for a second. 

I dunno why they keep saying pros don't play on Xbox.  Most pros I can think of play exclusively on Xbox, as it doesn't really matter controller wise since MadCatz sticks are cross platform.

Also, most top players play on 360.

All they know about pro players is that they're Japanese, and the 360 isn't popular in Japan so it's reasonable to assume they wouldn't build a community around it.

So true. I discovered fighting games during the 'dead period' Jeff seems to believe existed. Didn't stop me from getting into the genre.

The fact that you discovered fighting games during the "dead period" kind of voids your statement. It's not that they went away, it's that if you used to play them, you'd realize they're not very innovative. That's why I'm guessing alot of people have already lost interest in MK and SSFIV.

I love watching people play fighting games but MK is the only one I enjoy playing.

Your guys' comments on the current fighting game community are pretty spot-on. I love Street Fighter despite not being an expert Street Fighter player. I don't go to tournaments; I know I'm not great. But it's fun. A lot of that top-tier play is hampered by negativity, bitching about this or that update that affects them on a negligible level and that someone like me barely even notices. Whiskey Media isn't the biggest place for Super Smash Bros., but the fighting game community yelled at each other about Brawl for a whole year until it was dropped completely.

Both Brawl and SSFIVAE are lovely games millions enjoy, and whether or not the balance is perfect doesn't matter when you're having fun.

Please, no Brad in future videos :( Also Jeff, Uryo (efllake) plays on an Xbox, so already your point is moot.

I think MysteriousBob used quotation marks with the term "dead period" to highlight the fact that he doubts that this so called "dead period" really existed.

I'm not sure if either Jeff or Brad knows this but that one replay they watched with gameinn and tokido77 were Daigo and Tokido respectively.  And these guys are probably considered one of the best Ryu's and Akuma's out there.  Amazing how they chose a random replay and they got two of the best in the world.

I lol'd SO hard at this

Aside fom the beating Vega has suffered from the nerf stick, I could care less about the changes made. That said, I see they got some JYB in my Street Fighter.

I'm disappointed they didn't switch to MK halfway through this QL.

Any barely there excuse to do it I say.

Things Jeff is wrong about: 
 *360 version is the preferred version for Japanese players in Japan, not PS3 Jeff. 
* Your replay of Tokido77 and gameinn are the two BEST players. Tokido and Daigo.  
 
Good quick look though. The community is salty about Yun being over powered since he's safe on almost anything he commits himself too and his options when he applies pressure make it hard to guess what he will do. 

Thanks for the QL, guys! This confirmed what I thought all along; this update is totally negligible. I mean, Yun and Yang, plus weird versions of Ryu? Feh. Rebalancing? Feh. 
 
Super Street Fighter was a true update. This is just ...unnecessary. At least Capcom did the right thing and offered it as DLC. But it's totally worth passing up in my eyes. Thanks for the look :)

When did Trowa Barton become a Street Fighter character?

Oni has the greatest ultra combo ever

The fact that they wanted to see some high level play and got fucking Daigo and Tokido is so fucking hilarious.

It's so weird to heard Brad saying "Yeah... these guys seem to know what they're doing".

Jeff is wrong about the best playing on arcade only or PS3. Just check the 360 leaderboards for replays from the likes of Daigo "The Beast".

edit: btw that gameinn guy IS Daigo.

Of course. What I meant was that the "dead period" might have been there for people who have played fighting games from the very beginning, or near it. But of course it's Jeff's own fighting game down-time and not the genre's.
