Anyone ever notice how Daigo went from original color scheme ryu to alternate costume ryu and then to evil ryu? Mans had a whole anime arc across the runtime of sf4 and I love it
Man I remember when I was in high school and I got my hands on SF4. All the hype, the youtube videos, EVO, the matches with friends, the PS3 ranking system, man that was a great time. This definitely has more HEART!
Holy I remembered when Infiltration just started counterpicking everyone, he played every character at such a high tier level it was crazy. There was plenty of stuff that was ridiculous in this game but I miss it and love it so much more than SFV, goodnight sweet prince.
15:59 "You beat Daigo? We post on IRC: You are the best Bipson." Even in the late naughts, IRC was niche. I wonder how many people even know what Chris is talking about lol.
You know a fighting game is good when you can watch an hour long highlight compilation of it and 9/10 times you're smiling after a clip finishes because it's just that good. The 1/10 times are demons being landed and you completely lose your shit
Street Fighter 4 truly is a unique game for sure. Not only the game itself with the variety of characters, single player content, different fighting mechanics, the art style, and the music but the hype the community had surrounding it compared to its sequel. And going back to watch these older videos really makes me feel nostalgic especially when it comes to tournaments. Definitely the climax of the series
A real tribute to this game what changed my life forever. I have no words to thanks this game. I have played between 2009-2017. Unfortunately I don't play fighting games anymore, because his successor is a big failure. Anyway thank you Capcom
i'm the same, I was living in tokyo when sf4 hit arcades in 2008, played the game for years, sf5 came out, played it for 30 hours at launch, gave up and never played it again, the game is boring and still boring to this day. I don't play any fighters anymore because when sf4 died the genre died for me.
One of the coolest things in fighting games is when you watch a character specialist do shit you couldn't even imagine and in many cases things you can't do if you try. It's like the character was a cocoon waiting to hatch until the right player touched it.
2:20 is why this is a superior game to sf5. Pure technical skill and patience won him that match. No v trigger bullshit, no dash spam. Hype Comebacks that you have to work for.
I like how every player had a separate identity in this game Digos the master Ryu momochi Master Ken tokido master akuma smug Dudley ect ect and infiltration was the fucken chameleon lol
What I noticed is high level characters were high level because the execution it took to do their combos especially in tournaments. In SF4 you didn't see anyone else playing Adon the way Gamerbee did. No one played Dudley the way Smug did either. Sako was good with Evil Ryu and even won a tournament with him against Xian in the Grand Finals but he'll never have the moment Daigo did at Stunfest 15. Everyone had their own way of expressing themselves with their character. Even in mirror matches you could tell which player was which. SF5 has combos everyone can do. But SF4 had combos and gameplay that made that characters playstyle exclusive to that player. You had to grind for months maybe a year to get that good, not just sit in the lab for 2 days learning the combos.
@@acecun6202 Sure, SF 6 is a much better online game (when the stupid matchmaking doesn’t give you a wi-fi warrior *smirk*) but outside of that from the character roster, ost, stages, meta, depth etc it PALES BIG TIME to SF 4 series of games.
@@ibelieveinlove9943 SF4 wasn’t as big as you think it was, they literally milked three or four different versions out of it at new game prices and extra characters. The original SF4 roster was not that big
@@acecun6202 Yeah, like how SF V was milked via several different versions LOL. Don’t worry, SF VI will get milked too. Keep the laughable revisionist history to yourself. SF 4 is the biggest SF has ever been. It sold around 2 million copies during launch week (it took SF VI nearly a month to reach the same number of sales lol). It is the best selling SF game (sales of all versions combined). SF 4’s character roster wasn’t big? It had a bigger roster than SF 2, SF III, SF V and VI. 25 characters at launch. Get your facts straight before talking nonsense🤓
Every single top 8 match in Evo2015 for Street fighter 4 is absolutely stunning. Truly fitting for the final EVO tournament SFIV appear on the main stage.
I played when I was 9 years old and man my first street fighter so bittersweet to see so many hype moments I just hope 6 can capture the same emotion and excitement
14:44 damn no handshake fuudo was salty 54:51 yeah i'd think about quitting the game too dawg man i forgot how good sanfords oni was, all his clips are great
Notice how happy they were if they managed to defeat Daigo. It's a pleasure to play against him, let alone to defeat him in a tournament. That Beast is really a phenomenon...
Watching this for the nostalgia. I don't care how good or bad SF4 may or may not have been. What I can tell you though is that being in the FGC at this time was the peak of entertainment and fun. It was like an unholy mishmash of WWE meets anime energy. I miss browsing Shoryuken and reading tech mixed with drama every day, take me back.
@@iishyxvietxboyii1 played sf5 a grand total of 30 hours in 5 year, the game is absolute garbage, I played thousands of hours of sf4. its so sad that usf4 was killed off for it
sf5 was trash out the door and still trash, the game is so dumbed down anyone can be good at it. I miss the skill and execution required to play usf4 at the highest level
Most legendary events: Xian’s Gen Gamerbee’s Adon Pongkoo’s Seth (double perfect on Daigo) Valle’s Hugo Infiltration counterpicking PR Rog with HAKAN 😂
He doesn't like any of the games actually on the market, idon't know if he's still active in the community, but yes, he was one of the best human being in this community
@KDA (G) IDLE well yea, cygames wanna push GBF versus hard, so they demolished their SF team aka daigo, infexious, gamerbee, PR balrog, amd 1 more i forgot.
2:45 So... Ryan Hart is always going on about all the tournament wins he's gotten... Thousands of them in fact. One thousand is a pretty high number, yet I haven't even seen one. The only videos of Ryan Hart I have ever seen winning is against RIP, and his Tekken 5 (I think it was?) tournament win where he most definitely lost but due to some controller shenanigans they ran it back and he actually won it.

Thanks GameChariot
That was the life.
240p for days
This game was so hype. This game offers so much space for creativity...and surprises!
Best fighter ever, and that’s coming from someone who has been around since SFII.
Easily better than V. Let’s hope VI is great.

Miss SF4 a lot

@@uwabamiJohnny whoa really? Damn.
Why not keep playing USF4 if it's so good? People still play much older titles competitively.
31:52 I play MK primarily, but this is easily my favorite FGC moment P E R I O D
dude, this gave me chills, i saw like the 98% of these. Thank you very much, sfIV was a really good game for me!
Glad you enjoyed!
Yeah, the FGC was seems to have been in a different place back then. Wish I had been watching those days.
D Bee same man
1 hour+ of footsies here we go
15:59 "You beat Daigo? We post on IRC: You are the best Bipson."
Even in the late naughts, IRC was niche. I wonder how many people even know what Chris is talking about lol.
usf4 is so much more hype and fun to watch then sf5
Than is so much more correct and fun to use rather than "then".
People say this on every sf4 video, it's fucking annoying
Obviously.
@@terrydavis146 Also obviously.
@@terrydavis146 it's because they're not good at SF5.

Ah the good ol' days
seeing this takes me back to my days in Twitch Chat... i can remember seeing most of these clips live and reacting with chat.. great times.
Wow. I almost forgot how hype Street Fighter was. thanks for this compilation.
SF4 is so much more fun to watch than SFV is
watching paint dry is more exciting than sf5

2:20 is why this is a superior game to sf5. Pure technical skill and patience won him that match. No v trigger bullshit, no dash spam. Hype Comebacks that you have to work for.
The only thing ruining Sf5 is the cheap characters.
*SFV,but yes I agree
Ultra combo itself is a comeback mechanic
“It won’t be enough!!!........ IT IS ENOUUUUGGGHHHH!!!”😂
Say in one exclamation mark on lowercase letters, not three, you rude!
I like how every player had a separate identity in this game Digos the master Ryu momochi Master Ken tokido master akuma smug Dudley ect ect and infiltration was the fucken chameleon lol
When times were good. Hope we can get back to this level of hype with VI
Games too expensive to make now.
Too many fingers in pies.
Looks like we may. SF6 is looking interesting
SF6 is fuckin trash😒
SF6 is arguably my favorite game in the series currently. A master class.
@@acecun6202 ur trippin
I think that SF4 had more "soul" than SF5.
Not really
@@MichaelHarto The SF5 era is less then a shadow of what SF4 & Marvel offered the FGC.

@@TotalTuxedo Meh combos aren’t easy to pull off in a fight if they were everyone would do them

For this game can I truly say that all of us brought back the meaning of time and technique. Not just as a community, but as a family. SF4.
SF4 give us the best figthing game era in the e-sports, so much big names, so much big moments
0:33 jesus. that guy’s mic 😂😂😂
Man you can appreciate how difficult it was to make a comeback. Those were like at least 2 correct reads while avoiding getting hit. Damn.
Every single top 8 match in Evo2015 for Street fighter 4 is absolutely stunning. Truly fitting for the final EVO tournament SFIV appear on the main stage.
Happy 10th Anniversary Street Fighter IV.
like half this video is just Daigo beating Gamerbee at 10% health
God i miss the good ol days of the SF4 era. It's way more entertaining than SF5
Classic SF!
remember watching most of these live with the stream monsters
The time when watch tournaments of SF had real hype
Probably the only SF4 video i ever need to watch for the rest of my life?
SF4 was my favorite Street Fighter by far. Gootecks at 17:20 -- "Headbutt." Beautiful.
Poongko was an absolute legend in and out of the game
Commentator: "are you kidding me? Are you kidding me?"
Daigo: "am i a joke to you?"
I still remember when gamberbee dropped that Adon combo against momochi around 4:00 inspired me to use him lol
Excellent compilation video. God bless SF4!
SFV destroyed the community. We will not live an era such as this again...
The days of SF4 and MVC3. The HYPE days
Good times...
I played when I was 9 years old and man my first street fighter so bittersweet to see so many hype moments I just hope 6 can capture the same emotion and excitement
ウル4はトッププレイヤーのマジかよ！？ってプレイいっぱいあって見る分には最高に楽しかった
GOD I miss this game!
The more I watch this....the more I reslly feel sorry for Gamerbee...The guy was so good with Adon but Daigo was always his kryptonite...
Gamerbee came 2nd a lot...
14:44 damn no handshake fuudo was salty
54:51 yeah i'd think about quitting the game too dawg
man i forgot how good sanfords oni was, all his clips are great
I’ll never forget Smug Dudley
Anyone remember the 3DS edition
I had it lmaoo
Infiltration's decapre was a treat to watch.
4:57 baby Smug pre flat top.
Notice how happy they were if they managed to defeat Daigo. It's a pleasure to play against him, let alone to defeat him in a tournament. That Beast is really a phenomenon...
I watched this on Christmas day last year, 2018. You bet your ass I'm watching it again on Christmas day this year.
If u take a shot everytime Xian gets hit with a raging demon, you're gonna have a bad day 🤣
So many memories. So much hype. It sucks the rona killed fgc tournaments this season 😔
sf5 is a snoozefest so the virus didn't really effect the scene
Watching this for the nostalgia. I don't care how good or bad SF4 may or may not have been. What I can tell you though is that being in the FGC at this time was the peak of entertainment and fun.

Please tell me u r making one of these for Marvel. I would love to see it
Absolutely! Though its going to be quite long
THE LONGER THE BETTER!!!

sf5 was trash out the door and still trash, the game is so dumbed down anyone can be good at it. I miss the skill and execution required to play usf4 at the highest level
Aiai had a nasty Juri he made her look so broken it was insane
That match against Nemo and Rolento WAS SO FUCKIN BROKEN

I watched this during online school

Soooo much better than sfv, better to watch too
I was today years old when I found out the name of your Ultra Combo was displayed above your EX meter
You see, spectators love combacks. On the other hand, I heard that the pros hate them.
Gamerbee Adon combo was ridiculous. It probably was a Marvel combo
Big like for this masterpiece of. compilation
Loved the demon section 👹👹
After eating those half dozen demons, I would have liked Xian to say how he felt about that
OMG this gives me goosebumps
I feel like Poongko taking his shirt off is like Hakan oiling up.
Gotta have respect for the losing side for acting so cool.

8:30 what stick is gamerbee using? Looks dope.
Infiltration has the razer. Looks more like a Quanba to me (probably due to all that yellow)
It is a Taiwanese fighstick by KDiT. Keep Design in Taiwan
It's actually 公館, not KDiT's joystick
The best years of the fgc
cant compare sfv to sf4, the skill requirement to play this game at a high level is just crazy
This is gold

I miss this game
so
fucking
much
