Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1363 Joined: 6 Feb 2008    | Looking wierdly forward to Street Fighter IV though. Not that ill buy it I just like the art style. The last segment was terrifying. |

Well, I'm guessing not Street Fighter, as he only ever reviews games that are already out. |

Contributor  Posts: 169 Joined: 18 May 2008   | LOL CantFakehteFunk - I just lost interest when characters looked distorted and odd. I also stopped played when they started doing the VS. series...got to be a tad much for my tastes. |

Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1661 Joined: 8 Apr 2008   | OOooo... I get it. The video doesn't work until we vote for you guys for the Viewser Choice Awards. Nice strategy ;) EDIT: Seriously, though. The video currently doesn't seem to be working at all. Given the day I'm having, though, I wouldn't be surprised if I'm the only one having problems. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1690 Joined: 19 Sep 2008  | Looks like a cool game. Had a really hard time hearing the interviewee over the loud noise in the back. though. I look forward to once again stomping everyone by playing as Guile. |

Seems to be working on my end. If you continue having a problem, let us know. |

Wordsmith Extraordinaire  Posts: 12881 Joined: 30 Jan 2008  | Why is a 2d Fighting game taking so long to make? |
Video Producer Posts: 141 Joined: 21 Jul 2008 |
Because it's being made in 3D... |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1619 Joined: 18 Nov 2008    | Can they just cut everything after the first bit? |
Wordsmith Extraordinaire Posts: 12881 Joined: 30 Jan 2008 |
I thought they are 3d characters moving on a 2D plane, thus making it a 2d Fighting game in the same sense that Super Smash Bros is. Except Smash. Bros characters have a lot more manouverability and area. |
Beat Writer  Posts: 221 Joined: 22 Jan 2008  | Hum.. those techniques... They're used in Judo as well.. they're not that hard (no not falling) :P Seriously.. that "Jeskid on Street Fighter"-part was crazy. |
Copy Clerk  Posts: 62 Joined: 10 Sep 2008    | I remember renting Street Fighter 2 on the snes back when I was a kid. Loved that game. This might make me pick up a fighting game again. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 3350 Joined: 3 Apr 2008  | Is Cammie still in the closet in this game? |

As much as Zangief is. |

Have you seen that perma scowl. I don't think many guys would see that and go "Yep. She's totally into penis. I defintitley have a chance with that |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 4200 Joined: 20 Dec 2007  | I didn't like this one, kind of a boring interview and so much background noise (but at least he was sorry). Seeing Russ (or anyone really) being thrown was awesome though. If it had just that I would have liked it, but then we saw those 2 guys with a camera dicking around at the end. Did everyone hate moviebob that much? |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 3004 Joined: 23 Apr 2008   | Well, nice show, but I've no interested in the fighter/beat'em up genre, so wasn't really my thing, heh. |
Pulitzer Laureate  Posts: 761 Joined: 20 Sep 2007 | I think the biggest reason it takes so long is because fighting games are legendarily hard to balance, and I'm guessing they think that if it's not well balanced right out of the gate the "old school" players they are trying to bring back will be put off. |

Two words for everything to do with Cammie being a Lesbian - The Boss. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1820 Joined: 20 Feb 2008 | That last section was just creepy. At first they were okay but quickly went downhill when they started with the whole chun-li poster and Zangief. |
Muckraker  Posts: 227 Joined: 11 Aug 2008   | Man.. Although i'm looking forward to street fighter I couldn't hear a word that guy was talking about in the interview over the noise. I liked the ninja action :P |
Contributor Posts: 169 Joined: 18 May 2008 | It's true serious - my camera work is horrible :) -Jes |
News Room Contributor  Posts: 3358 Joined: 21 Feb 2008   | There you are people, proof, if any was needed, that the Escapist staff are willing to get beaten up for your entertainment! I've long held the belief that no fighting game has ever rivalled Street Fighter 2 in terms of accessibility, playability and fun, and it's heartening to see that Capcom are trying to recapture that spirit for SF4. The medley of honourable mentions at the end was cool too, especially the guy with the moustache and top hat. That looks hilarious :P |

I must admit, the poster did feel abit creepy! |
Muckraker  Posts: 239 Joined: 5 Nov 2008    | Liked the Judo bits, though I not really into fighting games. Looks like the zp review will be good. I have to say the end was too long. Get back to MovieBob, he was fine, there were only a few people grumbling that his style was to much like Yatzee's. The ending to this show put a dampner on the video. |

The character models and levels are 3D, even though you can't move freely throughout the space. The comment about balancing is probably the best reason for the delay in releasing the game, especially due to the tournament style of play. |
