Street Fighter IV Released

E-mail Print PDF
Got my hands on Street Fighter IV today (11th). The Xbox 360 and PS3 versions seem to have been released everywhere in Singapore even though I thought the official worldwide release was February 17th. The price of 84$ SGD is well about the usual 60$ of most releases, but all signs point to it being worth it.
Will test out the online play using Dan and see if it is as good as SF2:HD.

Update: The online play is pretty solid, only had one case of lag and it was still reasonably playable (the character seems to slow down rather than teleport around).
I have not had much luck using the 'join session in progress' option from the friends list, joining always fails (I have NAT open); the current lack of a lobby also hurts as you can't set up a party.
The challenge modes are quite good and teach you lots of combos and such. There is also a nice option for arcade mode where people can "here comes a new challenger" in on you ... although it gets annoying when they interrupt your game and then leave straight away at the "accept challenge" screen, then you are dumped back into your game with the current match progress lost.
Compared to the arcade version the graphics seems slightly different, I can't put my finger on it but the console versions seem a bit cleaner.
