If EA can get away with yearly releases with FIFA, Capcom can surely be forgiven for releasing an update to their bread-and-butter fighting series.
It has been roughly a year since the first edition was released, and how would I know? Cos the last time I saw a mutual real life friend on the PSN was a year ago as told by my friends list. And the game we played? Street Fighter IV of course!
Anyway back to topic, here’s a quick rundown on why Super Street Fighter IV would be worth shelling out for.
10 new characters. New ultra combos for each character. New costumes (as if this mattered). New online tournament modes. And, existing owners ‘may’ get special content! My guess: All the paid DLC costumes *cough*ripoff*cough*
While the skeptics may think Capcom is simply out to rob the fellow gamer, I do feel that 10 new characters is brings plenty of variety to the already impressive roster. While many characters are basically differentiated archtypes, you cannot deny that fresh faces do bring a breath of fresh air to the series.
Still not convinced? Check this Ultra combo trailer out.
Zangief’s ultra is simply hilarious and Akuma’s a visual stunner.
