Super Street Fighter IV

Many months that Street Fighter fans waited for the release of additional content called Arcade Edition, containing four new characters and, above all, balanced cast of Super Street Fighter IV.

Thanks to the endless work of Yoshinori Ono, who through Twitter has never ceased to inspire players with pictures, rumor, and so on, expectations towards this update grew considerably among less hardcore users, while those who were proactively usually attend the Italian community of fighting game couldn't help but keep posting a suspicious.

The first video release from the Arcade Edition Hall, showing a seemingly unbeatable Yun, designed with all chance to become a Flash the new character "autowin".

Now that the downloadable version of the Arcade Edition now available priced at 1200 Microsoft points (the disk version had at the end of June), the time to dispel any doubts by analyzing all the novelty introduced by Capcom.

The truth that this DLC not for everyone. If you are occasional visitors of the club of "quarter turn pi fist", the only thing that could push you to buy the update are Evil Ryu, Oni, Yun and Yang, the four new entry of the cast.

The new faces, however, are only the tip of an iceberg of more or less important tweaks, designed primarily to meet the needs of the most hardcore players, those who dwell only on special moves and animations of the characters know the importance of concepts such as frame, hit boxes and so forth.

For all these people the presence of four new characters s important but not nothing compared to the rest of the work done by Capcom on the skeleton of Super Street Fighter IV. Since the new characters are adding more obvious, per, we begin our review and describe them in detail.

Evil Ryu: bad version of Ryu no more than a mix between the symbol of the series and character Akuma. Visually speaking the spectacle offered by Evil Ryu certainly satisfactory, both from the perspective of animation (non-recycled) and the scenic impact, guaranteed by the evil aura that surrounds the polygonal model.

From the viewpoint of Evil Ryu gameplay offers many possibility guaranteed by the presence of moves such as the hadouken and shoryuken, teleportation and Akuma's dive kick and interesting Axe Kick, capable of covering long distances and avoiding a number of attacks. The real weakness of this character the small number of life points, forcing those who use it to not lower guard ever, especially against characters with significant offensive skills.

Oni: Although it may seem like a "dragonballizzata" version of Akuma, already from the first game you realize how Oni is different from the violent demon karateka. Not only its special moves dramatically depart from the traditional set of shoto (with the only exceptions are represented by hadouken and shoryuken), but also most normal are unpublished. This makes an interesting character Oni to be studied, also in virtue of the many "zozzate" that can do during the fighting. The air dash and the numerous possibilities during the game aircraft are certainly key elements of the gameplay of Oni, which has a number of tools to shorten the distances to cause extensive damage.

Yun: Gi in Street Fighter III: Third Strike, Yun he earned unconditional hatred of most of the players of Street Fighter. His movement combined with regulatory compliance very normal, special suitable for every situation and an embarrassing number of target combos and hit confirm Chinese skater, make it one of the most lethal of all rose from Street Fighter.
