Destructoid is gaming news, community, videos, and sometimes love. Take the tour or jump in with Facebook:

 



You've been waiting for it just like I have, and now the moment has arrived. The guys from some website were lucky enough to score a visit to Capcom headquarters in Shinjuku, Tokyo to play Street Fighter IV, and brought plenty of gameplay footage back with them.

Between all the yapping, (which you should nevertheless pay attention to, as it details how the game is played) the above video shows off some clips of a very beefy Ken, fighting some Nicaraguan guy. I won't go into what I think of the art style, but I am very happy to see that the game looks fast. Fast is good. 

I don't want to add to the yapping, so I'll shut up now and let you watch it. Was it everything you hoped it would be? Was it everything you hoped it wouldn't be? What do you think?

[Editor's note: Yes, it's taking forever to load. That's because there are about a zillion people trying to watch it right now. Quit crying.

Ditto on the EXXXTREME BLACK DUST EXPLOSION THAT COVERS THE ENTIRE SCREEN FOR NO REASON AT ALL. Jesus, why have that when each part of the footage is like 2 seconds max? It just severely undervalues the whole footage.

20 minutes of pretentious circle Jerking and 1 minute of actual footage.

It's a hands-on preview dude. EGM is and has been the leading videogame magazine for a while for a reason. Most of the good news you read on destructoid, joystiq, and kotaku is fro 1up. They cover their shit well with many different perspectives while on these sites there isn't that much depth in the articles.

Honestly I dont even feel interested. This just seems like a boring "washout" for an excuse to even make a game. Teaser or not, SF3 felt more "solid" than this.

For that 1 minute of figthing footage here.

I'm assuming you're referring to yourself, because not understanding that people share different opinions is about as elitist and prickish as it gets.

1UP has a few decent editors, but overall their site really sucks, bad. (IN MY OPINION!)

There are so many commenters that I just want to back hand whilst wearing a pinky ring. Like gloomyg. "Damn, that is one fine looking DS game." What does that fucking mean? Are you saying the visuals look like something that could be seen on a DS? If so, are you blind? No, sorry, are you retarded?

And the complaints about the video are just plain ignorant. If you didn't know, the 1Up show is a podcast. If you watch it every Friday (because G4 sucks), then you'd understand they've been teasing a 1Up show special about Street Fighter 4. A Podcast is a podcast. It's not a trailer.

I'm sure every gaming blog on the face of this planet has linked to that video. That's a lot of fucking traffic. Meaning, the video will take a while to download. Also, just like any other Podcast, there has to be discussion about the game. That's what they were doing.

The gameplay footage was spread out during the entire video to sprinkle on the talking. They talked about the game, showed some interview footage, and showed some gameplay. I'm sure they'll release some gameplay footage by itself later.

You people are all a bunch of whiny, negative, vajayjay, elitist pricks.

I'm not saying anything about your opinion. You can say all you want about 1Up. You said it in a tone the sounded like, "They don't know as much as I do about video games therefor they suck." You sounded like a douche.

@vexed alex:

I disagree that I sounded like a douche and stand by my opinion. They fucking suck, and a lot of the time they have said stupid shit when they didn't know what they were talking about. Probably because they have to have a group of people talk about it, when only one or two are well versed in the game being discussed.

How do they not know what they are talking about? I have been playing games for a long ass time but am not the best player at any game. I can say that I know what they are talking about and they pretty much address every question I have and with many people, you get many different perspectives. It's a lot better that way. Everyone is not going to have the same opinion on a game.

@trunxkam45:

Of course no one will have the same opinion on a game but they are just generally uninteresting while discussing games, and sometimes they get the facts wrong when it comes to games as well. I don't want to go on and on about it but you come on here talking shit about Destructoid and how 1UP is better so go to the 1UP forums and comment on their shit if you want. I'm not going to 1UP and trolling them, I'm expressing my opinion here, get over it.

I don't mind much about it being a podcast. But for fucks sake, they talked about playing as Dhalsim and the like, yet all they had were the Ryu and Ken battle, and that's fine.. But would it kill them to play the entire round of battle as they spoke?

How am I supposed to actually see that the game was fast paced if all I saw was a single movement before it cut to another move? All I got from this were individual movements rather than any fluid movement between the moves.

I'm actually fully supportive of Destructoid and other such community sites because there are a ton of articles daily to read about which are pretty interesting. Basically I read Destructoid, Kotaku, and joystiq for news. 1up has better discussions. They can appeal to everyone if they listen. With 1up, you really have to read/listen to what they have to say to determine if a game is right for you because they tell you everything you need to know about a game. What facts did they get wrong?

No, I'm being serious. My girlfriend called me and asked if I wanted some shrimp. "I don't eat those sea roaches!" I told her to bring me some land food. Jack in the Box's double bacon cheeseburger. I haven't eaten out in 1 and a half weeks. I figure I'd go bat shit.

Sea food has this universally odd flavor. I can't stand it.

@vexed alex:

bra-vo! I'd also like to add that, if I remember reading right, the game isn't even 10% complete yet! If you'd listened to the rest of it, they said they were still making adjustments and stuff to the game.

The final game might not be that fast, for example. But, it might only be slowed down enough so you won't notice, and there wasn't any footage of Dhalsim cause he wasn't ready to be shown yet.

As for the black dust thing? I dunno, was probably just for effect. *shrug*

Well judging as best you can from some crappy chopped up footage, I think it looks pretty good.

Seems as though they've kept the 2D combat.

@trunxkam45 when they say something like, Soul Calibur is more technical than the SF games that is proof positive that they don't have a handle on competitive fighters. No one plays Soul Calibur at a competitive level, not even in side tournaments cause it's terribly balanced and broken.

wait... how can a game be balanced and broken? its one or the other.

@free touch, look at Marvel vs. Capcom 2. Only a handful of good teams but within that there's is a good game. Also mortal kombat 3 is considered the only playable version of mortal kombat not because it wasn't broken but because everyone has broken crap.

J Murda: Well... actually if you want to call out games... MVC2 is completely broken. its not balanced at all, if it where, I'd kill all the sentinel/cable/storm combo's with megaman/chun-li/ken. When you say balanced, I think games like VF, StreetFighter 3 and Garou.

@J Murda: I think they mean that soul calibur is much more mechanical, which it is. movement in the 3rd dimension is a big factor and adds to that complexity a lot. It's not as flashy and is more about movement and swinging your weapon around in the right place at the right time and being able to counter appropriately, etc. On the surface, it's really easy to see how technical soul calibur really is.

At this point I can say that I am interested, but not excited for SFVI. That's a serious downgrade for me, as I have consistently developed a pre-release crush on every non-EX SF made thus far.

It's partly because of the graphics, partly because of the fact that so far it's just SFII in 3D, and it's also because the producer of this game created my least favorite Capcom game of all time (Fighting Evolution). All these factors add up to a general sense of pessimism, only barely countered by my 20 love affair with all things Street Fighter.

Pessimism + Love = Cautious Hope, with 50% chance of Fail.

As for the one 1Up guys, they seem alright. Sure they said that Air Juggles haven't been in "SF proper" up until now, even though they've been a part of ever SF since Alpha2. But other than a few inaccurate statements like that, I like their banter.
