Street Fighter 4 is the gaming event of the century for everyone who can remember this commercial, and what it meant:



Capcom games fill a void in my soul that no other games can. They've always been there for me. I want to give everyone who has ever worked for Capcom a big hug. Thanks, guys.

Man this looks sick. Its like X-Men vs Street Fighter, this is exactly what I need in my life. Bring back the fun times, playing XvSF on Saturn with the ram cart.

I seriously cant get over it. I hope all these new fighters do well.

So Capcom announced Rocku Man 9 like a few weeks ago and it looked pretty cool, the first footage was aight. Some people felt like they were limiting themselves to the Nintendo feel too much and apparently hear the music cutting out when sound effects were happening(I couldn't hear it over the Dragon Force playlist I have cranked to 11 at all times) and aside from the block effect that probably wasnt possible on the NES it looked very NES

Now we get the following video



Shit looks pretty hype to me but my original thoughts were that they would really push the envelope on the NES style of games. And it still seems true, but something about it just isn't blowing me away quite enough. I see some gimmicky new shit like a little dude carrying Megaman across the ground really fast, a weird spin block like in Top Mans stage except it spins you vertically instead of horizontally.. I mean the backgrounds generally look fresh. And the black or solid color backgrounds are always classic, even the music sounds good.. I am just hoping that the gameplay stays really true.

Part of me wants them to use Megaman 1 as the primary inspiration. Just make it super hard, no continuing via passwords. No sliding, no charging. Limited amount of Misc equipment. Get rid of Rush and most of the gay ass fan service cast. Make it really light on story.

I guess Rush and Roll are in that trailer actually, and I think I read there will be a shop system like in Megaman 7-8. So I can assume this game will pretty much suck compared to Megaman 1 and 2. Hopefully it still manages to impress

So Capcom finally is making another vs game and it looks sweet, only problem is no one knows what Tatsunooko is. Some anime?? Gay shows!! I'll be pickin Ryu and Akuma as always who cares!!

Do u think it will be as dope as Marvel 2? Or a button mashing scrub fest like 3rd Strike?

Will u be pickin Ryu or Ken? And what will you're 2nd character be.. Akuma or maybe Sean? Will it have yet another limited edition joystick? Will Capcom finally put in some net play that doesn't suck? Will they finally consult the GGPO krew? I cant wait to find out!
