keatsta: #street_fighter_iv Very quality game, but I'd still rather play 3rd Strike any day of the week. Street Fighter IV may have the appeal of the classic characters returning, but I'm a little too young to get nostalgic over that. SFIII's characters seem much more varied and dynamic to me, and I miss that in the relatively dry fighting of SFIV. Maybe the soon to come Super Street Fighter IV will address this. Also, on a competitive level, SFIV seems to be more turtle-oriented than previous incarnations - usually the most effective strategy is to not approach at all and simply poke until a window opens for your ultra. That may be a bit of an oversimplification, but I still find that IV is, on the whole, more defensively oriented (and therefore boring in my eyes) than 3rd Strike. Jan 8, 10
