Kratos, Mr. T and Gandhi Show Up in Street Fighter IV

The Street Fighter IV modding community has gotten into re-skinning characters in a big way, producing every skin imaginable from Duke Nukem to Gandhi to Jill Valentine.


Street Fighter IV mods for the PC version have blown up in a big way, first with the move set switching mod that let you do things like graft [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V6MM6MGS3yE] C. Viper's graceful maneuvers onto Zangief's hulking bod and now with the unsurprising appearance of a massive number of fan made re-skins for every character.

Judging from the Mr. T [http://forums.shoryuken.com/showthread.php?t=199446].

There's also some stuff that should have been obvious to me but never was, like making Blanka into Doraemon [http://i27.tinypic.com/11tr4va.jpg].

Forget getting a game out to the widest possible audience. This, my friends, is the real reason you bring your games to the PC.

One word... Awesome


This is why there should be more fighting games on the pc.

 

[Disembodied_Dave]

Oh Modders you're so adorable.

 

[Namulith]

That's awesome. Man, I want to trade in my 360 copy now.

 

[HardRockSamurai]

This is awesome, just as long as I don't see any nude mods..........

 

[Zykon TheLich]

This is awesome..shit, find something original...umm...this is er, ...great!

"This, my friends, is the real reason you bring your games to the PC."

Exactly, mods FTW.

This is awesome, just as long as I don't see any nude mods..........

You know it's already been done.

Too late, Cammy's already in the game.

This is too cool/awesome/other adjectives to describe.

 

[Arrers]

Awesome... But the Balrog/Doraemon skin looks like really creepy cosplay more than anything else.

It's my right to oogle at folks while I battle with them. ;p

Are you kidding? You've seen Zangief right? (NOTE: body hair does not count as clothing.)

This is neat, but not only can I not bother with these mods cuz i'm a console gamer, (yea FU PC elitists, I don't need mods) I won't bother because SF4's online is ballz! seriously its anarchy with nothing but hardcore lifers preying on the new guys like me! Screw it i'll stick with Soul Cal. where btw you can make these characters anyhow.

You said man. I can't even bring myself to play it online, with people I don't know, because I know I can't compete with people with hours and hours of free time a day. It's a high skill game that excludes the average player.

I also wont be able to appreciate the modified skins. Shame, I'd like to play as Mr T.

 

[Woe Is You]

Interestingly enough, in SF4, you don't actually see any stats of the other player until you actually start the game against them, so there's not much actual preying or cherry picking going on (unless you know which gamertags X, Y and Z happen to be Daigo in disguise). The championship mode in particular makes it almost impossible to play against a guy with shitloads more points than you do if you don't want to.

And while I concede that the system they use is better (I like lobbies with more players than 2), SC4 itself isn't terribly conducive for online play thanks to the whole just frame system and the absolutely terrible netcode.

As for the level of competition being high, well... that's kind of what happens with multiplayer games when you miss the boat. If someone got COD4 just now, they'd probably do pretty badly in the beginning. You'd have to be really into a game, any game, to get from getting steamrolled to doing decently from there.

Oh, yeah, right.

We're talking about skins.

Speaking of which, the list lacks Goth Chun-Li.

Hit me up on XBL sometime, I'll show you the ropes. Heh.

 

[The Great JT]

I gotta say, I like that.

Clubber Lang vs. Thunderlips is now a reality!

 

[chozo_hybrid]

I think the Beast and Mr T ones are awesome!

 

[Irridium]

This is why I buy games on the PC, mods are the best thing ever...

 

[Strategia]

When I read the first half of the title ("Kratos, Mr. T and Gandhi"), the phrase "walk into a bar" sprang to mind.

That was only to be expected really, but it is indeed superbly awesome. Mods rule. (Of course, I'm somewhat biased since I mod as well, but that's only C&C Generals and the Space Empires series. Still, mods never cease to be awesome.)

Oh my...


I may have just fallen in love

 

[teutonicman]

Thats pretty damn cool. I'd like to see rosa parks up in there.
