10 years later, are Street Fighter 4's combo trials still crazy difficult??

Let's revisit the game that got me into competitive Fighting Games!! Street Fighter 4 was released over 10 years ago, and I remember the game's combo trials being extremely hard back then. Let's revisit it now that I'm older and wiser, and see how everything holds up!

This game was not noob friendly. But thats what made it so fun and hype to watch

[@okami9484]

I gave up on the platinum trophy because of the these trials

[@Jay_Vee1]

Thank god i'm not the only one that considers these trials hard. I always thought i was trash at this game. (I mean, i AM, but still)

[@yurushii]

This is the best one from the Franchise! USFIV is the best! SFV is trash!

[@itz-123charli_snowcloud09]

This game had a lot of issues like long blockstrings, loads of OS, terrible matchups, hard knock down into set play, but man hitting combos with evil Ryu was hella fun 😈

[@kuromaruburningclaws08]

Omfg, you don't know the level of joy I felt seeing this video. I absolutely miss seeing SF4 videos cause the combos are just so hype for me. Also, this was also the game that got me into competitions, though I wasn't the greatest lol. I played Ken and Ibuki.

[@3serio]

I remember when this came out and I went straight to Ken's trials and stopped as soon as it told me to HP DP + FADC + HP DP + FADC + HP DP....I was like, NOPE!

[@miguelrobb5719]

I was only able to complete Guy's trial. It's a shame that the trial combos in SF4 had more depth than the entire combo potential of street fighter 5

[@imangenerous3321]

They are very hard and unfair

[@iAronn]

I'll never forget being a casual player when this game released and being so annoyed at what these trials expected me to do lol. so funny watching it now

[@Narkos6033]

“Guys we nailed chun!”

[@kosog6584]

This game was my shhiiiiitttt on the Xbox 360. Never had Xbox live gold(at least not most of the time), but I still played the hell out of this game. :)

[@Sorrelhas]

I tried these when I was younger, they were really hard

[@R4ULTR]

I loved this, man. USFIV's trials have some of the most insane links I've seen 😭

[@viceanterra3]

This was the game that got me into fighting games. It was the daigo/JWong moment that got me into this game though.

[@ArcanumDragon]

The music & announer always hype me up to come back to this game. RIP SFV.

[@maxv658]

I don't play a lot of fighting games, but I remember going through these combos and that first FADC Ultra combo you come across as Ryu took me days to complete. I felt like a total failure. SF4 link combos were so insanely difficult for me I thought I would never improve at fighting games ever.

[@wildwest1832]

The execution in this game was no joke. Some of the character masters like nemo or misse routinely did some insanely hard to execute stuff. hayati cancels, the nemo combo. Very hard to do.

[@spartanlutherking8124]

I only and very nearly mastered all of Sakuras links. Still the link combos in sf4 was difficult for me to apply consistently.
