Street Fighter 4 sucks. I cant believe I listened to a friend and bought it. I wish I could gift it to someone else.
I did pick it up also...
My experience has been quite the opposite
EXTREMELY addictive for me, in the special way only a hair-pullingly unforgiving 2D fighter can be =)!
Though I was concerned about the Super Street Fighter 4 release this year, I came to snatch the $9.99 deal based on two things: 1) Based on Capcom's history, it may be at least another 1/2-year post console release until SSF4 will find its way back to the PC, and 2) when SSF4 does become availiable for the first time, I want to be "trained up."
I've played almost exclusively online play so far, and have had only 2 matches where there was any noticeable slowdown due to connection. Even then it was gradual and didn't fully interrupt the flow of the match (more like a flash game/movie where too many items can cause a temporary slowdown).
I wouldn't blame anyone for not finding SF4 to be to their particularly liking, but if you're capable of falling in love with a challenging 2D fighter in this day and age, I'm sure there's a place in your heart for this title
.
PS: for goodness sakes don't play this without a decent gamepad/arcade stick!
[EDIT]: Steam is having an encore sale today with some of the previous deals, but there's only about 2.5 hours remaining! hop to it!
