A very solid title, as it should be, Capcom have released it in various skins countless times by now. This third iteration of Street Fighter IV may be the best, emphasis on may, but is completely worthless as a purchase.
It offers gimmicky extras for casuals and slight addresses to gameplay balance and new characters for the metagame, all of which could have been offered in the form of cheaper DLC or heaven forbid, a patch.

The graphics are a bit cartoonish and not what i expected from a next gen fighting game

The online mode seems to be more robust, given how blatantly repackaged the content is I doubt it will see much use

If you're a beginner, pass on this game

Simply put, if you are a beginner to the Street Fighter series as I am, and you don't have the time to practice the moves, this game is not for you and I would pass in this game. If you have issues with your fingers, such as joint pains and inflammation, and certain it is you will have pain in your fingers when playing this game, THIS GAME IS NOT FOR YOU.

This game has 4 phases to master.

Phase 1: You need to master the moves. Every character has roughly 13 moves - normal moves, special moves, supers, and ultras. These are fairly easy to master, but some characters such as Balrog move list are hard to pull off. The good thing is most characters moves are grouped together. For example, if you mastered Ryu's move set, then you can do Ken, Guy, Fei Long, Dan, Sakura, Gouken, and Sagat. If you can master Balrog, then you can pull off Vegas' and Bisons' moves also.

Phase 2: You need to instinctively pull off Supers and Ultras in the heat of battle. So far I suck big time. The supers and ultras are hard to pull off especially when you are an inch away from the defeat and you are in the heat of battle. You definitely need an arcade stick (fightstick) for better input. Albeit, I've seen people play pretty well on the normal PS3 controller. Just shows how much I suck.

Phase 3: The combos. The arcade edition has a trial mode - each characters have 24 trials in total, where you practice each characters special moves, super, and ultras, with 10-14 trials out of 24 designed for combo execution. And my friend they are not easy. And did I mention I suck. Check out the username vesper arcade from youtube. This loser mastered all trials for all characters. Vesper Arcade mastered the game with the fight stick, PS3 and X-BOX controller.

He is a loser and I suck! Check him out here - [...]

Phase 4: Street Fighter is a very unique game. It is not a smash button, hit you first, entered my ultra before you kind of game. There is strategy involved. I dare compare it to a chess game, where every move has a reasoning behind it. So far most people I played with never used their ultra meters once full, unlike me who has not won one single game online. Suck big time!

But this is a fun game. I stopped playing for 4 weeks now, because every battle is an actual workout on my poor fingers. I would recommend this fun game to anyone except those who have a life, a job, and a family who actually wants to see them daily. If you don't fall in that category and you have immense time to kill like Vesper and i, go ahead. You will have a blast mastering this gem.

I found a website that gives detailed information on each characters and some strategy when playing the game.
[...]

A+++ game.

Much more exciting than it looks!

I have been holding off on the Street Fighter series because gameplay videos for the game is not as exciting as flashier titles like Marvel vs Capcom 3 or Blazblue. There just doesn't look like there is much happening. Nothing could be further from the truth. You are playing a much more active role in this fighting games than the ones I mentioned. Every instant you are playing the game, you are making a decision. Any time you back up, you edge closer to the unfavorable corner. If you walk forward, you risk walking into an attack. Anytime you throw out a move, you can be counterhit. Anytime your opponent throws out a move, you can counter it with the right move. If you take the time to look at guides, you'll see that there are entire paragraphs for just normal single button attacks. Every move, normal, special, super, and ultra has its own unique properties that must be evaluated.

The game is about constantly making decisions. You must estimate the space between you and your opponent. Manage your own super and ultra meter while keeping an eye on your opponents. Know both your options and your opponent's options. Decide whether a risk is worth taking based on life differences. Predict what your opponent is going to do. There is a lot going on in this game. Don't let videos fool you!

I bought this game-

because of Evil Ryu and Oni Akuma...and yes they are massively epic and awesome...i was even surprised to find out how intense Yun & Yang were (capcom really didnt take the time to balance those guys,cuz they are pretty brutal in the game) i think if they wouldve also added Oro & Alex from 3rd strike it would have been complete* (pretty much 2 more characters to fill in those empty slots (arcade edition had a total of 39 fighters) all in all....a fighting game worth picking up (especially at its affordable price)

39 Characters, an in depth replay system, trophies, trials, arcade, a still large online community and an unbelievably huge replay value means that more than likely you will be playing this for a long time to come. Combos to learn, ultras to master,and people to whip online all at an affordable price with great shipping options that can suit even the most die hard fans that just want to crack open the game. A perfect game (aside from the DLC which will be included with USF4)

I purchased this game because it's basically one of the few video games my girlfriend will play with me, probably because she kicks my butt every time. I've never been good at these games, because I can never consistently pull off a move. But that's just me, of course, as millions of others have no problems with this. I purchased this recently so the price has gone down quite a bit. I kind of wish I had Injustice, as those characters and that license interests me more.

My 1st. New Street Fighter Game in Over 15 Years...

Reviewed in the United States on February 22, 2015

Platform For Display: PlayStation 3Verified Purchase

I haven't played a Street Fighter game since Street Fighter Alpha 3 for PSOne. So after finally getting a PS3 for the 1 st time recently, I had to get a SF IV game. Question is, which one? In the end, I decided to get this over the recent release version of game (Ultra Street Fighter IV).

That said, Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition is really the arcade version of Super Street Fighter IV (from which I can tell from YT videos was a great update to the original game) with 4 new playable fighters- Evil Ryu, Oni (another version of Akuma) & the Lee Brothers from SF III. I will say this: if like this reviewer you haven't play ANY of the SF IV releases, you'll in for a surprise. This is a game with lots to learn, from doing the throw moves, to learning the new techniques the SF IV games have. Once you do, you'll find this to be a fun game, esp. if you play with a friend-local or online. The only issue I have? I'm a bit disappointed with the lack of a print manual (you have to download it online). As a newcomer to the SF IV games, I waited to learn about the functions of the game without having to go online to search for it.

That said, with the recent drop in the price of Ultra Street Fighter IV (which I didn't buy mainly because of I found the new fighters to be uninteresting), I'll leave it up to you if you want to buy this or the recent version of Street Fighter IV.
