Is Street Fighter IV The Mario Kart of Fighting Games?
It’s been 10 years since the last numbered Street Fighter Game and Street Fighter IV is finally on store shelves. Capcom’s taken the game back to its roots by balancing out the characters more than ever and making it accessible for n00bs, all while managing keeping the gameplay deep enough for pro players to enjoy. Possibly the most significant addition to Street Fighter IV is the revenge meter. As players take more damage, the meter can be filled up to preform life-bar-draining Ultra Combos which can drastically change the outcome of a match. Could these new Ultras be referred to as the blue turtle shells of Street Fighter?
