specially when they realize they are about to get punished you gotta see some ex like Ken after his showryuken and he s about to land and you do your ultra he s looking at you as you are behind him and the look on his face is funny !! i just love when i counter an Ultra with an other Ultra ! etc... thank you
I can’t lie. SF4 aged the best. Going back to SF4 tournament matches are more hype than any other SF game. There is a lot of cope in the replies, but not a single person writing essays about “nostalgia” is naming an SF title that they believe aged the best as far as going back and watching tournament sets. Dialogue can be a two-way street.
I remember buying the OG streetfighter 4 and playing it so much it was jeopardizing my school/job. I read a rumor online that certain 711s were breaking the street date so i drove around to the closest 30 stores and just about every single worker looked at me like I was crazy 😂. I think I got trolled lmao. Any way 4 is goated
@@UserX03 Still doesnt sound nice, but it's just that there are new games, so it's better to focus the energy to being toxic just towards the beginners of the newer games. That's the way the community works.
Imagine this gem got REMASTERED to bring new auditory in and increase the online count. I hope they're gonna take their time to learn the deepest depths of this game if that ever happens.
I miss SF IV. As someone who plays videogames for decades and plays SF since the world warrior in the 90's, to this day at least for me, SF IV is still the goat. I played (and still plays) a lot of fighting games like kof, GG, Tekken, MK, SF, Injustice...but SF IV will probably be the best of them all for me for many years.
here s finally someone as old as me i guess i m 39 and have been playing FG on pc , arcade cabins and consoles for about 30 years now and still i m looking forward to get to even 50 years playing FG oh yeah !
@manafbenayache1880 you play mk and injustice, ew, brotha, eew. Also I've been playing fighters since the garbage tier barbarian 😂. But yea, since ww competitively. Btw, mk2 was OK. For a garbage series.
@@manafbenayache1880 i'm 37 years old, and yeah, i have a long story with videogames (more than 30 years). Being playing since Atari. I'm getting old lol
Totally agree. Ultra Streetfighter 4 is and will always be the greatest fighting game of all time. Even the intro of vanilla Streetfighter 4 is the best intro ever of any fighting game, the music of that is just incredible.
SF4 will always be my personal favorite street fighter - it's where I got to know all my homies and spend way too much time duking it out. Still play this game a lot, just something about it. Just accessible enough that anyone can hop in and have a good time, and just broken enough that the lab monsters can have a field day.
Of course it is. It has the heart of 2, and feels like a modern (for the time) remake. The slightly manga/anime-cartoonish art-style, the warm colours, the beefy announcer. the arcade-like music, and all the Street Fighter and Capcom fighters legacy being revived through it constitute a great Capcom fighting game - and my personal favourite. On the technical side, it has amazing depth, and is open to creativity; while the demanding execution is the ideal seal: if you can do it you can go that much further, if you can't you can still play very effectively in a simpler manner. And all the different playstyles, from neutral and footsies, to all-out aggression, or a solid defensive style; everything can work. Characters played uniquely, and players each had their own style. To me, a remake of IV, with ArcSys-style graphics, refined balance, and some tweaks here and there is a dream game; they could just keep adding characters for decades.
4 and 3S securely goat tier. The perfection of 4 was robbed of an optimal arcade scene/age. As much as i love the game, it's missing local, open arcade memories like that of 3S and MvC2. Players today will never know the subtle intricacies of lining up your tokens and counting who got next.
No disrespect to Fuudo but EVO 2011 should've been won by Poongko. His Seth was pure hype. And that match against none of than DAIGO, in which he chugged the red bull and took his jacket off, lol.
Bro SF4 is what got me into viewing FGC content in general. I dont even play the games much. And of course the first show that comes to mind is The Excellent Adventures. 😢 I get flashbacks when I see specific characters. When I saw Gouken I remember the One Button Gouken episode. Time flies so quick man.
Na 90's Xmen vs Street Fighter, Kof98, Tekken3 , Marvel vs Capcom 1, Street fighter EX2/EX2+, TekkenTag1, Killer Instinct, Alpha 3 was better. SF4 still amazing
@@AC-LING666 agree and my first experiences of fighting games were these, but i didnt join the FGC until sf4, I have my fondest memories with all of the above games
I loved that they used 3D models but kept it functioning as 2D; I kinda thought they'd take a page out of Fatal Fury and have different planes for SF6 but
I still go back to watch all my fav matches to this day. The best, all-time, hands down and forever. The best part is the sheer amount of characters in every Top 8.
to answer your question Justin. YES. I remember watching your tournament runs, but dear to my heart are the times you showed up on Excellent Adventures and smoked everyone with a single button. Me and my friend were just talking about SF4 and you drop this gem.
The only reason i still watch any sf footage is because I liked sf4 and I’m waiting for a game where combos are actually challenging again and gameplay sometimes showed you something exciting and new.
I dont like 6. I disnt like 5 that much because they slowes the game too much and made it a "pro gamer" game. They focusing too much on fgc. If that make sense. And now the system in 6...i really dont like. 4 was the last great sf4 that was atill Street Fighter. What we have now is not a SF.
@@celuiquipeut6527 nostalgia is a hell of drug. What we have now is street fighter. Its amazing how people how people used to think that street fighter died when it transitioned to 3d, looks like nobody ever learns from the blindness of nostalgia.
NGL USF4 had the only roster where a ton of characters got tons of love, between Justin with Rufus and Fchamp with dhalsim. This game is was a starting point for a lot of us
Dunno about best but EASILY the fighting game that had the biggest impact on me was SF4. Couple quality of life tweaks and rollback, and this game would stand toe to toe with just about any fighter today. It still feels crazy good to play
@@lampad4549 I just dont find it as fun to watch. The execution is a lot simpler and seeing every punish combo do 50% or more due to drive rush isn't exciting. 6 at evo was a snooze fest compared to 3.
6 feels very sluggish at times, i also dont like the aestetic of the game and of a lot of characters, so i dont really enjoy watching it, i like watching sf3 the most personally and i think its the best sf game
@@lampad4549 basta você assistir os campeonatos antigos e vai ver que o street fighter 6 não se compara ao 4. A emoção da torcida, a emoção dos narradores, a emoção das partidas... a época do SF4 foi extremamente melhor.
I only have a ps3 so I can play some of the best fighting games, games like kof (97 until 13), street fighter (2, 3 third strike, usf4, alpha 3, alpha 2, explus 1,2 and 3 etc...) But usf4 is my favorite fighting game so far, even without rollback kkkkkk Sorry for my English, I'm not a native speaker
SF4 is the game that exposed me to fighting games. It's my stomping grounds. I don't play it anymore because without rollback these games simply aren't fun online. SF4 needs it like no other game.
@@vovancho when it's like 40ms yes it's good but even at 70ms it just completely falls apart. In a game with difficult execution such as 1F links it really would be a godsend to have rollback.
Street Fighter 4 will always be one of my favorite street fighter games I definitely love the newer street fighters, but something about 4 just makes me gravitate to it so much
While I played fighting games a bit as a child, Super and then Ultra Street Fighter 4 are the games that really ignited my passion for fighting games. Am I good with them? Hell no! Do I have the time of my life while playing them? Hell yes! I remember inviting my friend to my house and we kept trying beat hardest AI bots and were getting smoked by Balrogs and Guiles xD
The downside to SF4 is that no one plays on the stages with the awesome music. Whatever happened to the construction stage or the stage with the breakable plane wing? Or the zany youths at the Tokyo Underpass? Or the Cruise Ship? etc etc?
Street Fighter 4 is my favorite in terms of the overall vibe. I think it has the best aesthetics, soundtrack and announcer, all of those put together just make it feel really good.
SF4 def. had the best mix of highly demanding execution and "good enough" stuff you could do. There was always something to optimize + character specific combos were more prevalent. Also don't forget the extra set of normals every character had, which allowed Capcom to give every character just more to work with in each situation.
Yes 4 is the goat. Eeven though 4 reinvigorated the fgc, Capcom threw away its design philosophy and made the worst sf ever with 5, and then for six, for some reason kept using the sf5 game philosophy??? I miss execution, player expression and NEUTRAL. Maybe one day
SF4 has so much dynamism in its gameplay. It was just as much fun to watch as it was to play, certainly at tournaments but especially the good ol Excellent Adventures. I feel like theres still a lot of potential in the game that never got truly realized. I wouldnt be opposed to the next SF being a 4 remaster.
This game is still so incredibly hype to watch. I wasn't tired of watching it even with SF5 around the corner. I hope it makes a comeback in the near future.
Sf4 to me is the best street fighter ever. Good gameplay, good graphics, great roster and I liked how every character has a anime like intro and ending what they do after they win the tournament and let’s not forget the insane tournaments.

@@WeeWeeJumbo I’ve been playing it a lot recently and I’ve just set up my steam account as USF4 and Garou Motw Steam edition are the only two games I have there at the moment
The nostalgia is real with this game. It takes me back to my teenage years where I would hook my PC up to my family's TV and grind away with my Ryu and Ibuki while home alone...
Man, I have never even been that big of a fan of Street Fighter and I can't use 1-fram links to save my life, and I still look back on this one fondly for some reason. Also helps that unlike the newer ones, this one can actually run on my aging rig and is no "Live Service" crap.
This was a fantastic video. I really like how Justin will mix it up with different fighting games. Editor, I've been liking some of the slow-mo you're doing especially when Justin dropped the Ryu Ult 😂 Love me some PVP!
The only fighting game I kept for so long in my shelf because it was not only fun to play but it's addicting. I remembered back in college we played this for thousand of hours. Love the music, the sound effects, the art was top notch and the mechanics was badass.
9:26 i was honestly waiting for justin to activate rufus ultra 3 when the video slowed down lmao Glad to see that even justin was surprised that there was no rufus ultra 3 aka the eg special
I remember all the hype when SF4 first came out and all the people on UA-cam that were uploading gameplay videos at the time. It’s cool to see that it still has a pretty big following after all these years
I took a break from fighting games since SFV launch up until a couple of months ago. I picked up SF6 and liked it more than I expected to, but I was pining for the old days of SFIV.. To my delight I have managed to find a solid group of people still playing regularly, the game holds up so well and im down the rabbit hole of re watching tournaments and content from the SFIV days. It was truely a golden age!
09'er here too.. Love to see SF4 finally get flowers cause got damn the discourse around this game when it first dropped from the OG's in the community.. but I guess that happens to every SF.
I kinda wanna learn and play this game but idk how good the online is SF6 already has one of the best online in any FG and that game *still* gives me problems (matchmaking, random disconnects, constantly giving me the same five ppl from China) so I'm scared how this game would be
Ultra Street Fighter IV made me a Street Fighter fan I ended up really loving many of the characters and world, when the SF 30th Anniversary Collection was announced I was excited as it was my chance to play the games I missed out on, really loving Alpha 2 and Third Strike especially. Though if I’m going back to Third Strike today, I’m playing Online Edition on my PS3, and I’m playing Super Turbo via Ultra Street Fighter II on Switch.
SF4 is like that very simple game but the focus attack mechanics make it so complicated, I'm sure if this game didn't correct the inputs to roll specials it would be one of the most difficult games in history
Even Tho I Was A Kid & I was A** Playing SF4 , Idc That Will Be My Top 5 Fighter Of All Time Ngl .. Its Just The Music, Moves, Characters, Art , Announcer allat shi just Great
I went from Alpha 3 on PS1 to SFIV on Xbox 360. It felt amazing to finally get back into SF - I ended up buying every iteration of it. I was utterly hooked on playing it online, even if I was far from being a good player 😅. Towards the end, I was more than happy if I could maintain a 50% win rate..
One thing I miss from SF4 that the others never did. The "OH SHIT" face the characters make when you do an ultra.
specially when they realize they are about to get punished you gotta see some ex like Ken after his showryuken and he s about to land and you do your ultra he s looking at you as you are behind him and the look on his face is funny !! i just love when i counter an Ultra with an other Ultra ! etc... thank you
SAME HERE 😂
Any opponent face getting black screened looks so funny lol
What i miss is the anime ending of each character, nowadays we only got visual novel style ending since SF5

The nostalgia is real with this game. It takes me back to my teenage years where I would hook my PC up to my family's TV and grind away with my Ryu and Ibuki while home alone...
SF4 and 3s will always be my favorite
I wasnt a gamer when SF4 came out. That line up...its so good. I see all my fav SFA3 character in there...I think i want to buy it....
Man, I have never even been that big of a fan of Street Fighter and I can't use 1-fram links to save my life, and I still look back on this one fondly for some reason.
Also helps that unlike the newer ones, this one can actually run on my aging rig and is no "Live Service" crap.
SF4 definetly goated. of all the modern SF thats my favorite and the game i was best at.
This was a fantastic video. I really like how Justin will mix it up with different fighting games.
Editor, I've been liking some of the slow-mo you're doing especially when Justin dropped the Ryu Ult 😂
Love me some PVP!
The only fighting game I kept for so long in my shelf because it was not only fun to play but it's addicting. I remembered back in college we played this for thousand of hours. Love the music, the sound effects, the art was top notch and the mechanics was badass.
SFV and SF6 can learn a thing or to from SF4.
it's "too", not "to" dmaz.
9:26 i was honestly waiting for justin to activate rufus ultra 3 when the video slowed down lmao
Glad to see that even justin was surprised that there was no rufus ultra 3 aka the eg special
It's a war crime that Viper, Rufus, and Hakan never returned and all we got from 4 was Juri and Seth.
Hakan is one of my all time favourite SF characters. Incredibly fun to play and totally unique.He really should make a comeback.
I remember all the hype when SF4 first came out and all the people on UA-cam that were uploading gameplay videos at the time. It’s cool to see that it still has a pretty big following after all these years
damn, the nostalgia really hit when seth said stinkyboob
I took a break from fighting games since SFV launch up until a couple of months ago. I picked up SF6 and liked it more than I expected to, but I was pining for the old days of SFIV..
To my delight I have managed to find a solid group of people still playing regularly, the game holds up so well and im down the rabbit hole of re watching tournaments and content from the SFIV days. It was truely a golden age!
WoW! It's been ages sense I've seen Justin in SF4! That's the game where Justin got his rep and money from 😁!
09'er here too.. Love to see SF4 finally get flowers cause got damn the discourse around this game when it first dropped from the OG's in the community.. but I guess that happens to every SF.
What were the complaints? I played it when it came out, but wasn't really in tune with the fgc back then.
SF4 came at the best time. It was the bridge between the old and the new
I kinda wanna learn and play this game but idk how good the online is
SF6 already has one of the best online in any FG and that game *still* gives me problems (matchmaking, random disconnects, constantly giving me the same five ppl from China) so I'm scared how this game would be
@@NineOneSixx I already got the game, I mainly just do trials
Unfortunately I live in the SEA region so....
SF4 has been the 🐐 since day one and HASN'T changed. Play it more than all others in history to this day💯🔥
15:04 i cant be the only one that same exact reaction as justin lmaoooo
Yes it is, but people insist in d-riding 3S for some reason.
3S and SF4 are both REAL Street Fighter games!!!
The 3s driding is crazy, even alpha 2 was a better game.
This was fun playing on 3ds too
That Seth player had one of the funniest names i’ve ever seen XDD
Sf4 was my first main sf. It will always be my favorite. Vega for life!
There's something about the SF4 sfx that just hits the right spot in my brain for some reason
Ultra Street Fighter IV made me a Street Fighter fan I ended up really loving many of the characters and world, when the SF 30th Anniversary Collection was announced I was excited as it was my chance to play the games I missed out on, really loving Alpha 2 and Third Strike especially. Though if I’m going back to Third Strike today, I’m playing Online Edition on my PS3, and I’m playing Super Turbo via Ultra Street Fighter II on Switch.
SF4 is like that very simple game but the focus attack mechanics make it so complicated, I'm sure if this game didn't correct the inputs to roll specials it would be one of the most difficult games in history
Even Tho I Was A Kid & I was A** Playing SF4 , Idc That Will Be My Top 5 Fighter Of All Time Ngl .. Its Just The Music, Moves, Characters, Art , Announcer allat shi just Great
Yes it’s the GOAT just like Marvel 3 is the goat! The time when we have SF4 and Marvel 3 was the goat era of fighting games
Sf4 and third strikenare amongst the most hypest and most memorable fighting games
Street fighter 6 and tekken 8 are amongst the most hypest and most memorable fighting games.
This was the game as a kid that truly sucked me into street fighter and made me come as far as I am now I always go back to this and third strike
Best music, best announcer, best street fighter
1:31 oh almost forgot i made Ryu wear his SF6 outfit !
Great video like always!
SF4 was such a great game. Too bad netcode was bad. But with friends... such a great time !
I love how it looked, but I never really could get into it.
I went from Alpha 3 on PS1 to SFIV on Xbox 360. It felt amazing to finally get back into SF - I ended up buying every iteration of it. I was utterly hooked on playing it online, even if I was far from being a good player 😅. Towards the end, I was more than happy if I could maintain a 50% win rate..
Sf4 was the first game I’ve ever played as little kid, still play it to this day 😁
