I have never played any of the previous Street Fighter games so I have nothing to compare it to, but from my personal experience, this is not a game for noobs. The controls are extremely hard to manage and often times they have to be executed at the precisely right time. So if you miss by half a second or don't do the combination the exactly right way, it will not work.
I tried to learn the fight with C. Viper and Cammi and the result is a blistering thumb. The game is definitely made for more experienced players.
But other than that, the graphics are beautiful, the intro is extremely sophisticated, and the music is still rolling in my head.
Perhaps, after I get over my frustration and buy a healthy supply of band aids, I can give it another shot.

Hey Yulia,
ReplyDeleteThis is Alex, Than's cousin. Ariane forwarded your blog, and I found your commentary great!
I love Street Fighter; (just ask Joe...) After I played IV with Joe, I bought 3 for the Dreamcast because I'd forgotten how incredibly awesome it is. It just takes time to learn; but Viper and Cammi?! Ha ha, I hate them with a passion. Some characters are a lot easier to play, and I think they're both pretty challenging to learn.
By the way, this game could easily fit into your fanboy argument as well. Good post!
