Super Street Fighter IV Hands-On Impressions

Super Street Fighter IV Officially Revealed

Who loves some Street Fighter IV? I do, for one, and so does Brian Leahy. That's why both of us are pretty excited for Super Street Fighter IV. On the heels of yesterday's video content, Brian took the time to quickly write up some impressions of his hands-on time with three of the game's new characters, including T. Hawk, Juri, and Dee Jay. Here's a snippet of what he has to say:

"One of the fan favorites from the Super Street Fighter II era, Dee Jay has retained most of his moves and is a very powerful charge character. Playing a lot like Guile, but faster, Dee Jay is very versatile in both countering and rushdown. Unfortunately, he’s received a bit of a nerf according to Seth. In the current build, his EX Dread Kick crumples and can be chained with more EX Dread Kicks in a 1-frame link. It was also possible to chain these into his ultra combo. No longer! I can’t speak to his current state, but I will say that a lot of Balrog and Guile players might defect to Dee Jay. He’s very satisfying to play."

OHHHHH Silver McGurgleburg and Mr. B I love you guys!!!!! Your just like me drooling over street fighter info. That Dread kick into Ultra was removed? NO! Oh well super green over here knowing that you guys got hands on already. I am back to playing SF4 again after beating MW2 and after throwing ASSASSin's creed 2 in my swimming pool. Man I knew there was a reason why there was a butt mentioned in the title twice. Keep up the good SF info boys!

Two questions... 1. Will SF4 DLC work with SSF4. 2. Will your play records remain in tact?

IN DA STRUCT-------NOOOOOOOOOOOOO! ABLE. They changed the announcer so I think the opening theme song will change. I wish that blanka could chew on the faces of enemies, I think street fighter would rock even harder with Final Ko's. Kinda like a finishing move that does not kill your enemy just hurts them really bad. Like blanka chewing on there face after the final round.

But that will NEVER happen, so it's back to KO.KO.KO.KO! You Win! I wish Capcom would have bought the rights to MK.
