Street Fighter 4 Championship Pack Hits Today April 24, 2009 No Comments

And only a month+ after it was originally scheduled! Huzzah! I’m sure we’ll have some impressions once we get some time played in it. More than one player per lobby? Color me STOKED. Edit: It has come to my attention that there are no multiple person lobbies. Just the tournament shit. Which is totally random. [...]

Enoch’s weekend ramble: Getting better at losing in SF4, revisiting Quake 3, and falling asleep on Phantasy Star Portable April 8, 2009 No Comments

I wanted to finish writing my review of Persona 4 while it’s still fresh in my mind but for some reason, my motivation to to do so is very low.  Most people knows that it’s a great game, so I feel like I’m beating a dead horse by reaffirming that sentiment.  Honestly, I’d rather talk about what I did over the last couple [...]

Street Fighter IV: Sagat Don’t Hurt ‘Em March 7, 2009 2 Comments

I did promise I’d have a whole rant prepared about characters. Well, here it is. What it feels like a lot of other developers do is try to make all of their characters meet a certain standard of viability. So if Character A absolutely stomps the floor with Character B, they’ll make some attempt to [...]

Street Fighter IV: Streets Don’t Make Good Fighters March 6, 2009 2 Comments

First thing’s first: I was really hoping combos wouldn’t lean so heavily on links. Links are when you chain two moves together, giving the opponent no chance to block. The timing on links opposed to normal moves (usually jab -> something) is the stuff of nightmares. The window is usually less than a dozen frames, [...]

Street Fighter IV: The Not so New Generation March 5, 2009 1 Comment

There’s this new game that came out a week ago.  It’s been getting some pretty good reviews.  Like 10 out of 10 good.  With all the hype surrounding the game, I bought it and played for about two to three hours each day since release.  So, is it a 10 out of 10?  Not really.  [...]

Street Fighter IV: Street Fighter the Voyage Home March 4, 2009 No Comments

Now that everyone on Xbox Live and their down-right quarter-circle punching grandmothers have air fireballed my 360 into a steaming pile of melted plastic, it’s probably time for some sort of review. A not-really-that-long story short, I’m beginning to think that Capcom programmers don’t want to make games for the PS3 or the 360. It [...]

Street Fighter IV Released This Week 2 Comments

Actually it was released two weeks ago. But PUPPYRUSH.NET is releasing our Street Fighter IV First Impressions this week, which is probably even better. After two weeks a lot of people would figure they’ve played enough, and write a whole review, replete with actual number demonstrating game quality. We here at PUPPYRUSH.NET are serious casual [...]
