In-Depth with Street Fighter IV’s new Characters and Modes

Jan 19, 2009 // s-kill

Richard Li over at 1up leaves a trail of beers to lure unsuspecting Street Fighters into his lair, then make them run through all the different SFIV options and modes. 

If you’re new to Street Fighter IV, this is not the video for you.  If you have been living and breathing every video you can find, however, this one goes more in depth with all of the menus, options (revealing you can indeed select Japanese or American voices, and do it separately for each character!  Why?  Because we love you!), and characters than ever before.

At nearly an hour long, it’s not a quick frolick, but it does answer a lot of lingering questions.

PS- My favorite part is where they all laugh at me for saying the training mode wouldn’t have anything for hardcores like them, and then proceed to fail at the basic Ryu combo, quit, go to Rose, and continue to fail at her basic combo for another 10 minutes.  Ha!

They do get there eventually, but as I said, the training is legit–the techniques take a little time to master, but if you can get them down consistently, you’ll at least beat the snot out of these pros.
