Is Street Fighter IV the greatest fighting game ever? No, I’m going to tell you that right here at the beginning of the review. Thankfully though that was a very early version of the game, and I’m happy to say that the console version has fixed nearly all of the laundry list of issues many of those early gamers had with the game. Really, compare KoF 2002 and Capcom Fighting Evolution and it’s apparent how far Capcom had fallen in terms of fighting quality. I wish I could have said I was surprised, but Capcom had really let the ball drop after the SF Alpha games and SNK surpassed them as the predominant 2-D fighting game company in terms of gameplay, if not graphics. In fact, nearly all of us who played the arcade version were unhappy with the product because it was very buggy and unbalanced. It’s because I spent a few hours in 2008 with the Arcade cabinet of SFIV and I was pretty underwhelmed. No, it’s not because I have overindulged in amazing games like King of Fighters ’98 Ultimate Match or Fatal Fury: Mark of the Wolves. I have to admit, as a long time consumer of each and every fighting game to come out since Street Fighter II, I was probably less excited for SFIV than the average mainstream gamer.
