It all depends on Your skill!
Though possibly not quite as much as past iterations did. The long awaited SFIV is a return to form, ditching many gamplay tweaks offered by previous cannon/non-cannon games and introducing new ones to help ease in the uninitiated.
The art direction has polarised the SF community, but it is hard to deny that Capcom have created a smooth and totally unique take on the Street Fighter franchise. We really like the results, with the characters having an almost tangible weight to them. It is extremely satisfying to land a combo on an opponent and watch the waves of pain rush across their face.
Online aspects are looking great too with very little lag, only the hardcore competition pro’s will be frowning, but they would probably prefer the benefit of local play just to trash talk the opposition.
The only thing we would have liked to see in this release would have been a return of the ‘Dramatic’ and ‘Reverse Dramatic Battle’ game modes. They were just plain Street Fighting fun.
