So, playing jalan Fighter II in the arcades, sickest thing in the world. Tossing in quarters and beating everyone else who thought they were hot shit in jalan Fighter was the most fun. But I always wanted lebih from jalan Fighter II. And jalan Fighter III: Third Strike feels better, but I have sadly not played enough of that game to have it on the list. But, I do have something just as good as Third Strike? Is it better, I dunno, but damn, is it good.
My older brother, when he was tired of his 360 and passed it down to me, didn’t tell me that inside of it was a digital download of Super jalan Fighter IV: Arcade Edition (That’s a mouth full). And already slowly getting invested into fighting games, I had to play it. And hot damn, was it a good time. A huge roster of characters, both classic and brand new (But mostly classic), coming from jalan Fighter 2, Third Strike, and Alpha, with some new faces, all of them being a ton of fun to play with (For the most part), and having a cheap final boss, Seth, it had everything I loved in fighting games (Except that last part, that was just a joke). The game felt so fast, so fluent, and something that anda can’t just mash buttons to. I know people like to say fighting games are just glorified button mashers, and that’s true, if anda fucking suck! anda gotta memorize combos, find out the button combination for special moves, and do that for multiple characters that anda main. For me, my mains are actually the faster characters, which is odd for me, considering my choices are usually heavier characters. Zangief and Hakan should be my mains, but my mains actually consist of Makoto, Sakura, and the king of boxing characters, Dudley. Super jalan Fighter IV: Arca- Fuck it, I’ll just call it jalan Fighter IV from here on out. jalan Fighter IV encourages anda to try out new characters, especially with those super Anime endings for each character. And experiment I did cause I played this game with every character, fought and beat all my Friends who had little to no practice and felt like a badass, and there is nothing anda all can say atau do. I am the king of jalan Fighter!.... So yeah, jalan Fighter IV’s a pretty cool fighting game. It’s not got the reputation of II atau the polish of Third Strike, but it’s pretty damn good on it’s own. And it’s no V on release day, that’s for sure
