- Wot I Think: Street Fighter V - 15 February 2016
With any long-running series, there’s a delicate balance between retaining the things that people love and refreshing the decor. With Street Fighter V , Capcom have come close to hitting a reset button marked ‘1991’ when it comes to fighting systems and yet this is the most forward-looking game in the series, with one eye fixed on the world of esports. It’s a streamlined entry in the mighty fightin’ series, for better and for worse, and we sent fisticuffs expert Andi Hamilton into the fray to see how it all works. He returned with these words of judgement. …
- Ultra Street Fighter IV s Long Road To Becoming The World s Greatest Fighting Game - 1 July 2015
A month or so ago there was a Capcom weekend on Steam, where some of the publisher’s finest cuts were free to play for a few days. Out of curiosity as to whether my old 360 arcade stick would work with it I downloaded Ultra Street Fighter IV . I have a long history with Street Fighter IV and thought I knew what to expect but the World Warriors blew me away again, and that once-dusty stick is now part of the furniture. Here’s why. …
- Free Honda: Ultra Street Fighter IV Free Weekend - 15 May 2015
There was a period in the mid-nineties when Rise of the Robots and One Must Fall: 2097 were the only beat ‘em ups available on PC. Believing robotic participants to be the future of combat sports, Colin Computer, CEO of PC Incorporated, banned all fighting games containing living combatants. When it became clear that people might accidentally play Rise of the Robots in a two-game market, Colin was chased out of town. Times have changed. Now you can play the latest Dead or Alive Ultra Street Fighter IV for free through Steam . …

- Combo Breaker: Ultra Street Fighter IV Trailer - 22 April 2014
In another life, I didn’t spend the entire Easter weekend managing virtual football teams, but instead spent it practicing fighting game combos. I like to think that this dimensional doppelg nger has enough good taste to make Street Fighter his puncher of choice. I’ve never been good at it, but I’ve read enough to know that it’s good. And the trailer below for Ultra Street Fighter IV , due out early June August, makes me wish I could trade places with my other self for a while. Check out the stage with the dinosaurs in the background. …

- Ultra Street Fighter 4 reveals two new battle systems - 25 October 2013
With Ultra Street Fighter 4 smashing its way onto the PC sometime early next year, key changes to the next iteration of the venerable fighting game series are starting to be surface. Capcom is altering the game’s battle system with some tweaks to combos as well as working to eliminate the chance of landing a so-called unblockable attack on an opponent. Two major changes that Capcom have in mind for USF4’s battle system are the Ultra Combo Double mechanic and the Red Focus Attack. As Street Fighter producer Tomoaki Ayano revealed in a new dev blog yesterday, they’re adding a third option to the existing Ultra 1 and Ultra 2 combo system which should yield some new tactical possibilities. “As the name suggests, once you’ve built up your revenge gauge you’ll be able to use either Ultra combo,” Ayano writes. “The downside to this is that the Ultra will do less damage than it normally does.”…
- Capcom celebrates 30th anniversary with Steam sale - 11 October 2013
Publisher birthday parties are the best. Rather than forcing you to debate whether a $25 gift card is a crappy gift, publishers simply discount a bunch of games and tell players to have at it. It’s like buying discounted party favors, but with fewer tote bags. Capcom just hit the big 3-0, and has shaved the price off many of its larger Steam titles in celebration. The list includes Bionic Commando: Rearmed, Lost Planet 2, Resident Evil 5 and 6, Dead Rising 2 (along with Off the Record), and Super Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition. Buying all the games in that package will cost you a cool $59.99, which isn’t too bad considering you’re getting eight games for the price of one. Of course, you can always buy the games individually if certain titles aren't to your liking. Devil May Cry 3, 4, and the excellent Ninja Theory remake are also up for grabs at a lowered price, though they’re not inc…
- Games for Windows Live to shut down July 2014 according to deleted support update - 20 August 2013
An update to the Age of Empires Online support page revealed that Games for Windows Live will shut down July 1, 2014, and with it, at least some of AoE Online's features, if not the whole game. The announcement has been removed and replaced with the original text, but here's what it said: "Games for Windows Live will be discontinued on July 1, 2014. Although it is available through Steam, Age of Empires Online requires features of the Games for Windows Live service. You can continue to enjoy all the features of Age of Empires Online as the service will remain 100% operational until July 1, 2014 when the server will shut down." Microsoft announced last week that it's shutting down the Games for Windows Marketplace. Games for Windows Live is something else entirely, a DRM and multiplayer infrastructure formerly used by Microsoft, Rockstar, Capcom, WB Games, 2K Games, and others. If you've…
- Juri Will Kick You in the Face. And You Will Like It. - 23 January 2013
As far as Street Fighter characters go, Juri Han is unique. She's the first Korean Street Fighter character and the sole Taekwondo fighter. She's also tough, evil, and very cool looking. And that's exactly why Juri, who debuted in Street Fighter IV , has quickly become a fan favorite. It's easy to see why cosplayers would be drawn to Juri, with her unforgettable hairdo and her athletic, yet very appealing and totally rad outfit. Juri will kick your butt. In style. Like we do every Wednesday, here is a look at some—not all—of the best Juri cosplay the internet has to offer. Who pulled off this Street Fighter character best? Have a look at the wonderful cosplay in the above gallery. Click the lower corner of each image to expand to full size. For more info on Juri, check out the Capcom wikia . And in case you missed it, here's a round-up of wonderful Chun-Li cosplay. (Top phot…
- If Street Fighter IV was a First-Person Game, Here's What It Would Look Like - 13 January 2013
Pipoca, the Brazilian animator who brought us First-Person Bomberman , now delivers this concept of Street Fighter IV 's bonus stage, fought first-person style. It's a great take, but if the combos are based on your point of view, I'm now completely messed up on how to throw a hadouken. What's forward? Up? YouTube video uploaded by pipocaVFX
- Street Fighter X Tekken review - 9 July 2012
Crossover fighting games are often just about the characters – WHAT will HAPPEN when TWO worlds COLLIDE and so on. Rarely are they true crossbreeds like Street Fighter X Tekken, a game that takes the peerless Street Fighter IV as its base but adds a huge Tekken character roster and key mechanics from Namco’s series. Most Street Fighter games have eventually found their way to the PC, but we’ve been largely spared the winding history of Tekken. There are two key differences, which Street Fighter X Tekken has a real go at bringing together. The first is that in Tekken each button maps to a specific limb on the fighter, as opposed to Street Fighter’s six-button system of light, medium and heavy punches and kicks. The second is the importance of ‘juggling’. In Tekken, when an opponent has been hit and is in mid-air, you can follow-up with attacks that can’t be blocked and will end only when…
- Street Fighter Producer Says Capcom 'Didn't Even Acknowledge' His Harrowing Hospital Visit - 11 June 2012
Popular Street Fighter IV producer Yoshinoro Ono says even after he worked himself to the point of exhaustion and took a terrifying trip to the hospital several months ago, Capcom put him back to work at breakneck speed. Speaking to Eurogamer's Simon Parkin at Capcom's Captivate event last month, Ono paints a grim picture of working conditions at Capcom : The situation is the complete opposite. Nobody told me to take a rest. When I returned to work, Capcom didn't even acknowledge that I had been in hospital. There was no change in my schedule. I was at home for an entire week before the doctors allowed me to return to work. When I returned to my desk there was a ticket to Rome waiting for me. There's no mercy. Everyone in the company says: 'Ono-san we've been so worried about you.' Then they hand me a timetable and it's completely filled with things to do. Jeez. Be sure to check out the…

- Yoshinori Ono steps down as Street Fighter producer following health scare - 29 March 2012
Yoshinori Ono has stepped down as Street Fighter producer following a health scare. Ono confirmed on Twitter that Capcom Japan will task another member of staff with steering the fighting game series forward, at least in the short term, as he focuses on making a full recovery. Ono was taken ill last weekend during an event to promote Street Fighter x Tekken and rushed to hospital. The Japanese developer is known for his energetic presentations and enthusiasm during interviews with the press. He tweeted: "I caused u so much worry for a while. I went back to work. SFteam're working wholeheartedly on patches for SFxTK, plz wait just a little longer. "I apologize for that. And Thanks for a lot of get-well message! "I'll refrain from work for current job for a while. Another person in charge of SF series for a while. Of course I'll constant support to it. "I'll be out of the limelight as fig…
