I know, with SUPER Street Fighter IV just coming out relatively recently, its less heroic version is being pushed to the wayside.
BUT, after searching aimlessly for many hours, I just happened to stumble on this:
Amazon Page on Street Fighter IV
That's just over $10 folks. It appears that the release of SSFIV has pushed the price way down, or maybe it's been like this for awhile, I don't really follow the prices.
But even for that 10$, is it worth it, or should I just wait for the Super price drop to inevitably come. (P.S., I'm not completely familiar with the differences inbetween the two games) I just remember loving the old street fighter games as a kid, because that's the only game I could beat my brother at.
So, the question is: to order, or not to order?
Street Fighter IV
Game » consists of 9 releases. Released Jul 18, 2008
After nearly a decade in hiatus, Capcom's signature mainline fighting game series resurfaces with its fourth main installment, combining the traditional 2D gameplay with modern fully-3D graphics.
Is it Worth Buying?
If you're wanting to just play for fun and hopefully find a game or two (if you're lucky the servers are going to be dead) to mess around with, sure, it's worth buying. If you are looking for competeive play, then just get super.
Super just got price dropped to 29.99$ for a 20$ difference I would highly recommend Super, much better online, 10 new characters, ect, ect.........totally worth it
Like I said, I'm not really familiar with the differences. My girlfriend asked, and I was sort of ashamed not to be able to tell her. Fighting games haven't been something I've been into since i was 8 or 9
If you're tight on the budget and you're not planning to play online, I guess it's okay to get the SFIV for the cheap price. But if you're planning to spend time on Street Fighter offline and online and you want to get immersed in the game, get Super Street Fighter IV. It has a bigger roster of characters, better balanced system, much more fun online stuff like endless battle and more importantly, a lot of people are playing it online; so you'll enjoy the game more. :)
I personally have the original but I suggest you getting the new one because Cody's awesome. (Seths still cheap as hell)
I just picked it up for about fourteen bucks. I didn't want to drop forty or so, not knowing if I was actually into Street Fighter or not (truth be told, this is my introduction to the series >_>)
It's not a terrible buy, it's definitely good to play around with. If you think you're going to want to dedicate some serious time to Street Fighter though, go for Super.
I would pick up Street Fighter 4 for 10 dollars and see if you like the game. I bought it over Super Street Fighter and I'm glad because I didn't like the game at all and saved myself 20 bucks.
Even if you like the game the 10 dollar version should hold you over till there is a price drop for Super.
