[Rogue Retro Gaming] Street Fighter (Arcade)

in #gaming6 years ago

Another day, another Super Smash Bros. Ultimate roster character, it is now time for another fighter not much associated with Nintendo en more to Capcom, Ryu that first appeared in Street Fighter for the arcade, and was released by Capcom in 1987.

Plot
You are Ryu (or Ken if you played as the second player) who entered a martial arts tournament to prove his strength, and that's about it for the plot, seriously.

Graphics, sound and gameplay
The game has horrible graphics or in some cases semi-decent, the fighters can look from OK to plain awful, just look at what is supposed to be Ryu it looks like a cheap imitation of Street Fighter II, backgrounds are just OK and on theme with whichever country you suppose to be fighting in.

Music in the game is ranging from bearable to 'please stop the 10-second loop music I have to listen for the past 4 minutes'. Sound effects are just good enough to not be annoying, but the voices are plain awful it only remotely resembles what they are saying because it has subtitles.

Gameplaywise, the game is 1 vs 1 fighting game where you fight in martial arts style against competitors from all over the world, you have to beat your opponent 2 out of 3 rounds in a slow-moving fight, but knocking them down or have more health in the time limit. The game has 6 buttons mixed between weak, medium and strong punches/kicks, kicks have too many frames of animation which makes them slow and unreliable, medium and strong punches suffer from the same slow animation, weak punches are fast but they hardly do damage. I know you can't see it in my gameplay but it takes like 2 seconds of delay from the time I press a button to the time it actually does the move so you have to basically have your move ready in advanced, predict your opponent next move. Sometimes the moves don't work at all, meaning you will press a button and there will be no move performed. Special moves like the Hadouken are near impossible to pull off and even when I did them I didn't know how, even trying the same motion and button combination, they just seem to work at random. The actual Hadouken is slow moving and when it hits the target slows the game for a few seconds.

I don't recommend this game, it is not only bad this game is BORDERLINE UNPLAYABLE. Controls are the worse since special moves don't work well and there is a delay between you pushing a button and the move actual being performed or don't get performed at all. Don't play it, just play Street Fighter II.
