Does anyone play Street Fighter? SF2 and SSF2 used to be my favourite games on the megadrive way back when and I've been playing SF4 Arcade Edition reliving those memories to the nth degree on and off for a while now. However, I've only ever really played against my brother and the occasional online match where I've had my rear end handed to me each time. The online matches have dried up since the Ultra update to SF4 and now SF5. I've noticed out of you lot that I've got in my Steam list no-one's got the game, but is there anyone else who's got it on Teh and fancies a game?

I never played Street Fighter as a kid, and when ever I've tried the newer ones I just don't get on with the control system. Not my cup of tea. Give me Tekken anyday :C

The control system's been pretty consistent throughout the series, adding in extra bits with new releases and taking out stuff that didn't work. I loved the Alpha games when they got released back in the early 00s, as they improved on SF2 and add some control systems that made sense. SF3 was crap, they got rid of a huge amount of fan favourite characters and replaced them with instantly forgettable ones. They added a weird parry system in addition to blocking that I never got my head around.

There are a lot of 'advanced' techniques in SF4 that I've never been able to get my ageing fingers to do properly, and I don't have the time to learn them anyway, however, the control system is a lot like SF2 was back in the day. I'm not a button masher, and nowhere near the level of tournament players, I'm somewhere in between. I know enough to enjoy half an hour playing against the CPU every now and then.

I never got into Tekken, wasn't that (at least the early ones) a Playstation exclusive?

Yes, that's the problem: I never learnt the old ones as a kid, instead my first beat-em-up that I really got to grips with was Tekken on the PS (used to be arcade/PS exclusive, but it's on Xbox now too), which has a different combo/block paradigm. Never could get my head round the SF system after that.

I did use to love the SF animated movies, though :$

Right you are.

The SFII Animated Movie was pretty good. It did its best at tying together a main storyline and cameo appearances from non-top tier characters, some were obviously shoe horned in, but it kept itself honest to the games.

I've never seen the cartoon series they did though. Have you; was it any good?!

I honestly can't remember. Think I may have seen some of it and not been impressed.

Coincidentally I was watching a YT vid last night about the weirdest endings in fighting games. Tekken featured quite heavily.

I quite like the one where your main evil chap straps a load of other characters to a rocket and sends them into space.

I'll warrant the producers don't know about them. Or quality testers. Or Gorbachev.
