1 edit | Doing a combo still requires smashing buttons except in an orderly fashion... button smashing all the same, except with a little more class!
Edit: So who won in that video? All those nerds going nuts at the screen...I am speechless! | |

Edit: So who won in that video? All those nerds going nuts at the screen...I am speechless! Now this response made me speechless. Button smashers are just that, people who have no idea what they are doing and hoping to string a combo. People who don't button smash can still string good 8-15 hit combos in SF4.
Your definition of button smashing is quite odd. More class lol... | |

Edit: So who won in that video? All those nerds going nuts at the screen...I am speechless! Even someone who doesn't play street fighter much would know how awesome that video is. Let me explain, of course, the fact that you claim pulling off combo's correctly is still button smashing is absurd.
The character on the right (Ken) who is player 1 is represented by the health bar on the left. Note how he basically only has to take only a single hit from anything, and even if he blocks, he will die. The other character still has a decent amount of HP left.
Player 2 initiated Chun-Li's super combo move which would have surely killed Player 1 (Ken) no problem, even if he would have blocked. However, the alpha series has parry. Pulling off a parry allows you to block the hit without taking any damage. To pull off a parry requires perfect timing, and the fact that he does so many parry's in a row is allready amazing.
However, he makes things even better, and after the super-combo from Player 2 is completely parried, he unleashes his own super-combo and completely wipes out Player 2 when all player 2 had to do was hit him with anything once.
The video is pure amazing, even if you don't like the game. It doesn't take a street fighter fan to appreciate the level of awesome witnessed in the video. This is why everyone in the crowd is going nuts.
Back on topic, i've been enjoying SF4. There are some new concepts that I don't enjoy, such as the Focus concept, and I don't like how they have made the game less combo-focused and more whatever it is now focused. The Alpha series (In my opinion the best) was all about making huge combo's in sucession. SF4 really doesn't make this possible.

| According to this site »www.jammaboards.com/jcenter_jamm···ist.html Capcom hasn't used the JAMMA spec for any Streetfighter after the SF2 series. The SFIII and SF Alpha series used a different specification.
If you wanted to set up an arcade cabinet, it would probably be cheaper to buy a computer, set it up in a cabinet, and use MAME.
