Check out the Street Fighter IV strategy guide at IGN. This guid really covers the game mechanics rather nicely and therefore is a must read article for those who are serious about the game (except you already know all about the game mechanics *g*).
The guide also has a section with basic strategys for each character in the game. So long story short … just click on the image below and start reading
Street Fighter 4 strategy guide
UPDATE: Forgot to mention that there’s also a nice guide on SF IV at EventHubs
So you probably’ve noticed that most of my entries where related to Beat’em Ups and the reason therefore is that I’m currently enjoying my holidays and so I’ve got enough time to play the games which where lying around for some time.
One of those games was SF IV which got me back into fighting games (like when I was about 12 years or something *g*).
So I’m playing SF IV hardcore on the PS3 and PC but there is one issue with both of the plattforms. (Actually there are two … cause the netcode of the game kinda suxx on both platforms) The native input methods on both platforms kinda suck to really play those kind of games. Algthoug the PS3 Controller is better for playing than the PC keyboard it’s still crappy for very precise input.
So the solution to this problem is an arcade stick! It takes some time to get used to it but if you finally master it you don’t want to go back to any other input device for Beat’em Up games.
To get yourself faster to better results with playing an arcade stick the people of eventhubs.com made a nice tutorial of how to use and play with an arcarde stick. So head over to their page and check the it out.
While browsing some gaming sites on the web I came across “League of Legends” the new game of the creators of the famous WC3 Mod DoTA. As I really like the basic concept and gameplay of DoTA the game looks kinda promising to me, althoug the graphics of the new game aren’t any better than those of DoTA which is kinda sad when you think of how old the WC3 engine is. Anyway if the strategic depth is good enough the game will probably be a must have title to me
Here the official game trailer and the offical gameplay trailer
Ah and the registration phase for the beta of the game already begun so if you’re interested in participating in it you may want to check the offical homepage http://www.leagueoflegends.com/
Another nice Beat’Em Up game. Looks awesome and is definitly proof that 2D fighting games aren’t dead yet I personally can’t wait to get my hands on it!
While watching SF IV Tournament Videos on YouTube I found those two rather usefull videos which will help increase the understanding of the basic SF IV game mechanics.
Just watch and learn
