Man oh man I have no idea where to start … To be honest I didn’t expect to see it on shelves today but fate brought us ‘together’. I ended up walking away with a fresh copy of Street Fighter IV for the Xbox 360. Last copy too.

I quickly hurried home, fired up the Xbox 360 and loaded the game.  My hands were actually shaking while the game starts … way too excited. Some call this ‘Joygasm’?

This is just a quick impression post. I only spend about 30 minutes on the game before going off. A full review will come as I proceed further.

Intro : The same opening as the ones posted on the internet with the opening song sang in english.  The singers sounded pretty similar to its Japanese counterpart. Overall it sounded good.

Graphics : The graphics looked better than the one I saw in arcades. Better in the sense that its sharper and less pixelated. Guess Capcom did some touch-ups before pushing them to home consoles.

Controls : I was shocked to find out that the game actually perform pretty well on the default Xbox 360 controller. I had no difficulty pulling off fireballs, dragon punches,  and super combos. My expection was to be totally flunked with the controls. Guess this will last me until I get my hands on Mad Catz Fightpad.

LIVE : If you play Street Fighter IV, you will DEFINITELY want to be on LIVE. Capcom has implemented a system where if you are connected on LIVE, you can enable a setting that allows anyone to battle with you when you are on Arcade Mode, just like in the real arcades.  I had two players engaged me in battle during my 30 minutes play-off. Overall it’s smooth and almost lag free.

Bottom line … this is the epic game of the year.
