@@JoseGonzalez-uw1qq so...time between between 3 and 4 the last time a street fighter gsme was played online was 3rd strike on the dreamcast dial up, so when 4 was announced in 3D models that look solid people lost their minds. Its been so long since that last numbered main series entry people were feeling alot of possitive emotions. Now 5 when 5 came out people were still enjoying U4 there was no down time where no one could play a new numbered entry like the jump from 3 to 4. Like people were playing 4 when 5 was out-- if you wanted to do the 3 to 4 hype you would need to delist all the versions of 4 and its online for another near decade and the announce 5.

Despite the hype on SF4 back in the day...i was like you...not keen on picking up the game...as i will get sick playing long term with such graphics.

Super turbo and 3rd strike are my last street fighter games...i never play sf4 or sf5...it looks so crappy to me... and i cannot bother to learn to grind and get good as i had simply 0 interest in the first place...

I wish i could just go back to this time. Not literally but somehow live the hype age of sfIV I remember when i was back in college I wouldn’t lose one Wednesday night fight with pizza and soda.
