Super Street Fighter

Nothing is quite as fast as a Bolt

Of all the large Japanese developers, Capcom shows again here that it best understands the importance of online, especially to the Western market, as well as the intricacies required to produce a compelling online offering.

Fighting games have always been an acquired taste, especially those produced by Capcom. A vast chasm exists between post-pub superficial bouts of button mashing - the domain of us mere gaming mortals - and the profundity on offer in their expert-only twitch mechanics.

Very few of us are blessed with unfathomable dexterity, and even fewer are interested in concepts such as reading frame data, hit boxes or damage scaling. But at just £29.99, Super Street Fighter IV is just too cheap and too good not to have in your collection.

Want - Will not Buy...

While I would love to support Capcom and get this game, as long as I can't update my PS3 (aka remove OtherOS option) I will not buy it.

Gotta get this

Had SF4 and thought it was awesome (minus the music!!) I've got to get this as I've seen many positive reviews about it.
