What Does Street Fighter IV Look Like on iPhone?

Graphically this isn't that impressive. PSP's Guilty Gear XX is much better gameplay and graphically. But nevertheless it is still a great game. It is good to see the iPhone finally has something nice to add to its collection =)

That's pretty cool looking...to bad i hated SF4 and never want anything to do with that game again.

I shudder to think how in the name of Hell will you be able to do all these fancy combos complete with the super moves in a fucking touchscreen. No, just no.

Just put a controller on the stupid thing already, there's more games that would benefit from 2 analog sticks on that thing vs touch screen.

Quite easily actually since what this article failed to mention is that the game has a crap ton of assists built into the game to pretty much make it a really noob friendly fighting game...which I spit at. You can set up assists so you auto block, special moves at the tap of a button ect. Of coarse you can turn these off but it would probably suck with the touch screen and no tactile feedback. While the toggleable assists are admirable, I will forever spit on such an option in a fighting game. No, fuck you, fighting games should not pander to players like that, it takes every bit of actual fun and challenge out and destroys the game entirely.

Even if what you say is true (and I have a hunch that it is considering that I didn't see the dude on the trailer executing the super move by turning the "joystick" around), I still can't imagine executing jumping low-to-high combos easy. It will be a dumbed-down version of the game no matter how many assists are included. And since what gets dumbed-down are the controls, meh.

Well, I'm kinda pissed to see that the iPhone is getting better games than the DS and the PSP.

For some reason, his movements don't match the on-screen action.

EDIT:
No real gamer would get this. This is for hipsters with too much disposable income to get just so they can show off to their hipster friends while they wait for their americanized sushi. One of them would whip it out (the iPhone, not THAT you perv) and start playing it at max volume just so they can say "I'm playing street fighter on my iPhone. I'm really into the retro stuff. I've become a real gamer." Because everyone knows being a hipster is all about image.

This junk could also be aimed at the geek with a disposable income. The one who spends all his time buying life-sized Samus Aran sculptures and participating in fanboy flame wars instead of actually playing some damned videogames.

That is diabolical Apple. Either people will be flocking to the stores to buy new phones and at the same time you will be selling billions of the indestructible cases. Soon we won't be able to leave our homes due to all the Iphone shrapnel covering the streets. Until we realize the only thing the shrapnel can't pierce is the indestructible cases forcing us to buy them as shoes. Which is when you will take over the world. We're doomed. Way to go Capcom.

Wow that's a cluster fuck of buttons right there, they're making a bigger DS for this exact reason, and you expect us to believe iphone games will be superior to other handhelds? That's a good one! They're close but they're not there yet =P
