Let me tell you a secret. A secret that I've been wanting to tell for so long. No, not that. I actually have a 5.1 Full HD XBox 360 set up in my room! Since when? Well, I got the LCD TV and 5.1 sound system in December 2008 and the XBox somewhere late January 2009. All for what? STREET FIGHTER IV! I didn't care if it made me lose almost all my savings. That's how I really anticipated STREET FIGHTER IV. See, I even keep on spelling it in all caps.
Ever since I got the game, I never stopped playing it. Even more when I do online battles through XBox Live! It's like an arcade right in your own home. On arcade mode when connected to XBox Live, anytime an online challenger can interrupt your game and challenge you. People are ranked according to BP, which I can guess stands for Battle Points.
Surprisingly, I am finding a hard time going over the 2000 BP. I just realized how I need more skill in playing the game. As some of you may know from before, I'm primarily a Guile player. But I do have alternate characters that I use such as Zangief, Cammy, and Gouki. It's a very exciting experience. Fighting Games in general are the only games that I can keep on playing over and over again for years.
Before I forget, Street Fighter IV has a system similar to the original Street Fighter II, with a few modern features integrated. Yes, stunningly beautiful super combos and ultra combos are there, along with a simple parry system, which is now called Focus. Focus can either be a parry or a focus attack -- a stunning/cancel move.
There are lots of information already about STREET FIGHTER IV on the Internet, so it would be redundant to elaborate on things here. Just google it, I'm sure you'll see lots of info. Though, I prefer taking a look at the YouTube videos. And this coming July 2009, PC gamers will enjoy the action as STREET FIGHTER IV will be released on the PC. More players to come yey!
Catch me online in XBox Live with gamertag "Death4HirePH". See you and hope we spar!
