What Was Old is New Again
Knowing a good thing when they see it, Capcom has gone to great lengths to
ensure that everything that made the legendary Street Fighter II a hit in
the arcades, living rooms and dormitories across the globe all those years ago
has been brought back in Street Fighter IV, and this naturally starts
with the characters. Fans of the franchise, as well as the fighting genre in
general, will be happy to know that whether you prefer to stick with the
superior abilities of top tier characters or explore the ins and outs of mid to
lower level combatants, when it comes time to pick your fighter there is a wide
array of choices. Also, not only will players be able to play as and against
their favorite classic characters, such as Ryu, Ken, Chun-Li, Guile, Zangief,
Blanka, Sagat, etc., they will also be able to take on new characters. Just a
few of these include:
 |
Abel
This young French amnesiac comes from a mixed martial arts and mercenary
background and is dedicated to chasing down the remnants of Shadaloo. |
 |
Crimson Viper
This tough and beautiful agent assumes a businesslike demeanor, ignoring
all emotion and obligation to her fellow man. She wears a high-tech suit
filled with deadly gadgetry.. |
 |
El Fuerte
This fighter divides his time between perfecting his Lucha Libre skills
and his cooking abilities, yet surprisingly his indomitable spirit is a
match for even the legendary Red Cyclone. |
 |
Rufus
This portly fighter has declared himself America's greatest fighter and
uses his own brand of Kung Fu in his decidedly one-sided rivalry with
Ken for top dog in the States. |
In addition, characters and environments are rendered in stylized 3D, while
the game is played in the classic Street Fighter 2D perspective with
additional 3D camera flourishes. Six-button controls for the game return, with a
host of new special moves and features integrated into the gameplay system.
Street Fighter IV brings a brand new fighting game to fans the world over.

generation of gamers, including the original cast of Street Fighter II.

the most seasoned Street Fighter pro.
New Combat Features: Focus Attacks and Ultra Combos
Although Street Fighter IV is designed to draw heavily from past game
features in its franchise history, it does offer some stunning new gameplay
options. The first of these are Focus Attacks. These moves allow players to
absorb the energy from an attack and quickly counter with their own. Used
properly, Focus Attacks allow for tremendous flexibility during combat and are
the end result of efforts by the game's development team to evolve combat away
from the rigid memorization of set combination patterns, giving players the
freedom to be creative against opponents. The other new combat feature are new
powered up moves called Ultra Combos. Like standard combos their purpose is to
unleash maximum damage on an opponent, but unlike the combos of old, when
performed correctly these long strings of punches, kicks and moves result in
changes to the in-game camera angle and quick cinematics which illustrate the
strength of your skills like never before. Taken together, these two new
features herald Street Fighter IV as the new king of the fighter genre
and a force to be reckoned with for years to come.
