GameSpot's Street Fighter IV Tournament Part 1

[NotLuckIsPro]

the 1st match ryu is very bad

[aguyngaw]

they dont even know how to use ultra.. better watch the fight japanese sf4 tournament. they're incredible

[aguyngaw]

the match ken and ryu was a noob fight. i cant believe they were qualified for gamespot SF4 Tournament

[flycodyfly]

for only getting to play for the short time that they did thier not that horrible,on a side note they would deystroy anyof you on remix,................well maybe not the first few guys.

[nightcrawlerXMANX3]

why dont they use controllers at least?

[crazedtoddlers]

@nightcrawlerXMANX3 because the arcade stick makes it more street fighter.

[Harrytmik]

Thumbs up if you entered for that nice blonde interviewer (Y) peace

[KungPao916]

Best thing about this video is the female interviewer. Cool.

[TheSupersabby]

ok u guys gotta realize yes the fights suck but they only have 2 days to learn the game b4 the tourney yes some of them played at another event but allot of them havent, if seth killian would have hand picked the contestants this tourney would have been epic

[mairul34]

Are all of them are noobs?

[Snoogy10]

Awful just plain awful seriously all u guys r champs hahaha my lil sister plays way better then u noobs sht I'm the real street fighter iv champ hit me up 4 a match against a real fighter ryu or Ken ur choice

[Thecrazygamerful]

on the first math he didnt do his super or ultra

[blakebru97]

You Guys all the matches suck and players in the first part dont cry about it just watch it

[LiceeanulZburator]

dude ryu kept trying to cast his ultra

[ivanl38]

why can't choose akuma or other hidden charachers?

[UltimaOn]

Biggest noobs use Riu or Ken. No skill characters. Its like AVP camping in counter strike.

[Kiba1335]

@UltimaOn biggest noobs cant spell Ryu right.

[zombieslayer0505]

@Kiba1335 lol

[SinLimites]

que pesima tecnicas no estan para un torneo

[89Valkyrie]

I saw the Daigo vs Top 6 ranked players in Japan (after him of course, he's #1).

Their matches make this tournament look like garbage 6 year old kids mashing on buttons.

[PMishkin]

nice tits

[meatflowers]

lol it shows a guys hands near the start and he'smashing 3 buttons for 3 seconds straight lol hahahah

[xhillydilly]

theyre probably not used to the arcade stick

[BigAng84]

@xhillydilly

exactly

[Golden2Talon]

tekken tournaments > sf4

[masterchief527]

@Golden2Talon then wtf are u doing watching sf4 tournaments? Go back to Tekken...

[tfuture100]

omg ! is that really the standard of sf tournament play ?

[EBCX]

@tfuture100 hell no men go see the evo tournament and u would see whats up with street fighter 4, their r really good videos in youtube from evo like this year final

[MrKingT88]

why are they jumping so much?

[MrKingT88]

i think the ryu player was trying to do a hadoken lmao

[Pissugar]

nice tits

[andykor7]

hey guys, ultra combo move is not unique to sf4. its execution is not something new though some of the moves maybe a bit different from other versions. the 1st version i played with ultra combo finish was sometime back in 95/96. eg: chunli can execute 3 different types of ultra combos in a row then. i can execute the ultra combo the 1st time i sat down to play this game close to a year ago, too bad all my opponents then also knew the execution and timing to execute.

[piscataway53]

You people are dumb this was before SF4 was even released in America. So all these players didn't even know about Ultras and everything.

[andykor7]

what happened to the good players? watched parts 1 and 2 and not a single ultra combo finish. and no combo moves during gameplay too. agree that most important is to have fun but this is a tournament. gotta have some standard.

[ElementalSk81]

@andykor7 lo dude, look at the date this was made. way b4 any good players surfaced so chill out. idk y so many people comment without actually looking at the date and really thinking b4 posting. sheesh. look for a tournament that was more recent like in 2010 or something. will see good action there!

[folken53]

Everyone forget's... this is a walk in tournament, not a "OMFG IM SO SKILLZORD SUPA COMPETATIVV" tournament -_-, so enjoy it for what it is.

[Negronigganigga]

lmao is his name ron mcdonald?

[x3SYNESTRO3x]

wow none of the guys i this tournament have skill at all this sucked like epicly

[smokinSobey420]

wow, the spam of e.honda sad. that ken in second match sucked balls ugh!

[physco691]

man the guy playin ryu sucks

[bono300vox]

nooooooobs

[D1srespectful]

much smoother than the console version

[lucymydog1995]

lol at first i thought the guy in the beginning said, "HEY! ronald mcdonald here!"

[TheChainsOFMisery]

@lucymydog1995

hahah,same here

[MarklarRavencrest]

E. Honda rules all

[jesperbech]

Two things. I played 400 hours of SFIV now in SSFIV and this is just nostalgia gold, so thank you GameSpot.

Second, who is that woman interviewer, I wanna uhm 'get to know her' :P x)

[pwiattitto]

terrible camera work. kept switching to commentators during the actual action, just like with ant and dec on that talent show. :-\

[noobpwnager]

lol whats sad is my cousin can play better than that Ryu. and hes like 10 and only played like 10 times.

[KoiSenritsu]

@noobpwnager Well, this was before the game was released: P

[noobpwnager]

@KoiSenritsu well, my cousin still sucks. it doesnt matter if it just came out :D he can still beat some of these people. but again, hes only 10 so if he was in this, he wouldnt get that high up.

[guwplay]

The first match omg the Ryu player soooo bad noob

[JordSF4]

The first Ryu looked like he didn't know how to hold his stick. Couldn't even execute basic moves.

[CaptainOmar]

Silly ads, you're no match for my refresh button=]

[mavfan321]

Never in a million years would MK be better than SF SF actually is a very in depth fighting system. MK is for retards.

[lucymydog1995]

@mavfan321 well, i wouldn't say that MK is for retards.... i feel its more accesable than street fighter. i am JUST NOW getting good at SF4, because it is very challenging to get good at. i personally prefer mortal kombat, not only for its simplicity, but just the way the fighting works. UMK3 is one of the greatest games i have ever played.... and so was street fighter 2 turbo. not exactly the greatest i guess, just most memorable and fun that i have had for a while :). they are comepletely dif.

[mavfan321]

@lucymydog1995 I was harsh on saying it's for retards but MK will never have the depth in it's system of a SF game even with teleport combos and all that it's just not there, and MK 9 doesn't look to be any deeper.

[lucymydog1995]

@mavfan321 but its not trying to have great depth like SF, its trying to be more casual friendly. you can play SF exclusively for months and still get your ass kicked online. i personally like MK better, but its just cause i don't want to learn all the tricks to street fighter. i still enjoy single player, but i loose 9/10 fights. until MK9 comes out, im probably going to be playing street fighter 4 though, attempting to get better.

[mavfan321]

@lucymydog1995 I'm not the best by any means but I can beat those that I should I guess so I can understand if it's not your thing and all. My thing is when I was really young like 5 or 6 I played SF II for the first time and it resonated with me immediately I owned the MK games too but SF for me was always that game I loved.

[ReJected1122]

wish i could go to evo :(

[moneyboyok]

larc anderson actually looked sane in this vid

[seglan0226]

lol if they allow pro players to play....where is the fun in that....wat they would have is a bunch of players who think they are good going home angry that they wasted their lives on playing street fighter series and they still nub at it

[emf753]

everyone chooses ryu.

that sucks!!!!

[fileerausveitsi]

bad, but probably they have really fun time, and that's the meaning of gaming.

[badassrover]

mortal kombat was way better and its still waaaaaaaaaaay better

[trebnik]

wow, this is really bad

[skrface13]

lool @ 8:11 the most random super I've seen

[uky0chan]

who da hell was dat 1st ryu player... a 12 year old?? go home & dont play the game again

[skrface13]

@uky0chan loool so true

[LastQuaker]

ThisTournament only allow noob players

[jdogg0908]

lololol man these matches are a joke (yes i know, this was before the game came out) but watching this and comparing back then til now, im sure these players are MUCH better

[negerislv]

KEN is the best fighter i thing

[cloverwolf1994]

go jump off a house into a ppit of crocodiles with the other ken fighter 4 fans.

[throwupandshutup]

it looks like Ryu is mostly used more than other characters, I mean Ryu is a good fighter but in my opinion Fei Long is better.

[tayoUSAkanAYETOROkan]

wtf is ryu user trying to do against ehonda with crouch high punch.crap. he aint hitiin nuthin but air lol.someone bitch slap him and take away da controller.

[gamertagboy]

i'll do it cause he is afucking faggot for playing this peice of shit game

[cloverwolf1994]

or teach him how to couter circle-punch in the far left corner. instant win against noobs!

[aaronboi77]

....FAIL

sorry.

[gamertagboy]

cause sf is gay

[moonwhistle]

"I would say that Ryu and Blanka and largely the same"

" I have have had similar success with both Ryu and Blanka. I have only used Blanka once"

I gotta hand it to those gamespot commentators, those are some fucking brilliant insights. Keep em coming guys.

[mitzanu2007]

first of all this is bullshit cause they didnt show all the matches, and damn i saw this a long time ago when it was first posted and now damn i could beat a lot of those guys

[WhiteKnight402]

fucking adverts

[DarkestStealth]

I wanna watch the video directly I thought going to web-sites meant no commercials now there trying to get on the internet to ruin the experience with this stupid Geico commercial.

[Frog0Pusher]

I Am A Fanatic SF Series fan!

[drdremacdre3]

every single one of those fights sucked

[Yahh698]

well that was before the game came out in america so everybody would suck

[Zentesukien]

@drdremacdre3

well yeah the game just release back then.

[heavenmaycryHQ]

@drdremacdre3 dude we can do better thumps up if u think these ppl sucked

[ermac360z]

@drdremacdre3 Yes is true is like fighting a ranked match with a noob.

[Zoltrekun]

It's a solid intermediate tournament. I wouldn't finish in a top 3 players.

Tiger Shot! Tiger Shot! Tiger Shot! TIGER UPPERCUT!!!

[shinodaa]

i feel bad for the guy playing ryu because his name is revealed :-s and ppl can make fun of him =)) like me for ex

[XxDerricKing95xX]

the 1st match was jus an embarrassment to ryu :/

[thehype16]

omg the guy playing ken must have just been a straight button masher and must have never heard of blocking

[Quingsy]

These people really suck bitch to be honest. Man i really wanna join some tourney !

[Th3R34LR47]

@Quingsy lol yeah i agree i didn't start playing until third strike and there timing is terrible compared to mine. some of these guys are pretty good but half of them should have just stayed home.

[Quingsy]

Yeah, i didnt mean to judge all of them, but i agree with you, it looks like some of them just started playing. Damn, i really wish i could have been there! :P

[BleachChaos]

they suck

[TheBucksB]

it gets borin watchin so many ryus...why dont these people change it up?

[polloeluno]

son unos perros jugando pobres lokos aca en uruguay ahi alguien q se sobra con todos ustedes le desimos el immortal no le gana nadie en este juego nisiquiera un round es imlacable

[24oscar24]

tons por que no es famoso el wey?

de seguro los que juegan con el el deben de estar bien pendejos.

[dcshoes841]

That first Ryu looks like me playing Ryu....AWFUL

[TheBucksB]

LOL

[Rippinkitten18]

cmon guys, don't act all cocky and shit, this tourny was was played when the game first came out. Alot of people who were in this tourny were probably new to this game.

[Th3R34LR47]

@Rippinkitten18 then why did they join a tournament if they were new and didn't have a chance in the first place? lol

[AzNpRyDe30Gt]

these characters are garbage lolz

[shinodaa]

WTF i see scrubs online playng better :\ wtf man

[imbeavis123]

ken vs ryu? who is the best

[DaisukeXYX]

loool nub battles xD

[BestOner]

that 1st ryu was so weak

[jdogg0908]

you also have to remember...SF4 JUST came out around this time, so alot of people might not have gotten a chance to play it and get the conrtols down very well yet.

[E1N9A8N0DA]

What exactly was the second fight ? God, and they're proud to be seen on TV...

"HOW NOT TO PLAY STREET FIGHTER."

[crazyDINGshit]

wut a shit ryu after watchin daigo vids and then now i notice the level of skills has dropped

[PikminExpert]

These are just amateurs who dropped in. The real deal is in Japan...

[marcospablotu]

haha that guy that used ken its horrible

[akaisyaoran]

[Danish28aslam]

[xDanyManx]

[P3RFCT1NSAN1TY]

stop bashing on the ryu! he wasnt used to the stick!

[ModernNosferatu]

Someone just started playing the game : /

[Jonemode]

omg its jesus... he gained some pounds since i last saw him

[Ilir7777]

lol that looks amateur as shit

[Mushro0mMan]

that was the worst Ryu i have ever seen. He didnt throw one hadouken or dragonpunch where he should have

[kong0lol]

What a joke of a tournament

[Supreme7198]

I kno bro you SAID IT!!! They must have just asked some random people off the street to play. A serious Joke for a Tournament.

[Billybobhorn]

This is quite an old vid where people moved from HD to SFIV, but comparring it to Daigo vs Inoue video, yeah they look like a joke.

[chaunceykhang12]

lol they suck...

my gamer tag shingouki12 challange me

[yeaimawesome77]

the first ryu is one of the infamous heavy kicks and punches only players. they suck

[HumanStrategy]

4:50

tsuimasen - did he just taunt "excuse me" and then pwn his ass?^^

[str1ker87]

ugh, that ryu player looked like it was his first time playing street fighter, heck his first time playing anything

TERRIBLE

[xxxtracerxxx2007]

that ryu guys is so fuckin dumb....disgrace to all ryu user......shyt....

[ignae]

what an awuful ryu

[MM51TheRealDeal]

the 2nd ryu owned did you see him taunt before he finished off ken

[weakervessel]

wow. Yeah he needs to work on his 'dokans.

[goldencrispy]

too much reckless jumping there, easily punishable... sigh

[rediance]

"blanka is a little bit slower" are you kidding me? he fast, you only say that cuz you saw that noob suck with it and you assume all people play like that.

[piv321]

he means that the game speed is slower

[xkingxgrimx]

i can imagine everyone being completely silent in the room after the first 20 seconds of that ryu vs honda match.

like 64+ people just standing around like "...unbelievable"

[DonolovesMileyandsk8]

yes that first ryu is very scrubby but the game was still new, this was like last november with the release of hd remix, even choi played bad and look at him playing sf4 now

[leonfdw]

Even i can play better than that, and i suck

[bakablitz]

i feel like im watching 5 year olds play...

[Lordlude903]

well this is before the game was out on the consouls so the only way people could play it was in arcades and you think oh well there not doing there ultras and thats a novice mistake but not only are they playing with a joystic which could be new to them but they're also perhaps unfamiliar with all the moves you think it's simple since youve had the game for a while but most likely when you first got it you were like these guys. You may have known some moves from past games but no steller combos

[richatalife]

mmm in japanese tournment they play 10000000000000000000 better than that... everyone can be better than this lol, noob tournment ftl

[Warstriked]

Aww man, being a ryu player it was torture watching that player block 50% of the attacks an then follow up with righteous arm pumps which i can only assume were failed hadoukens. That dude deserves a H. Shoryuken for even turning up to that tourney.

[horley]

This was rubbish...

[LTeeJay]

fist pumps FTW! garbage.

[RazaqIshola]

Jesus! That first Ryu hurt to watch.

[teabagiddi1994]

Oh my fucking god he fucking sucks he didn't guard one thing.

[aouani]

Lol, he barely ever left the ground and had very minimal mobility on the ground.

he's obvo a newb..?

[catbrat234]

1:31 thats not only bad for u phisically but imagine the shape your dignity would be in 0.0 ...poor ryu

[GameingNews]

Oh my god Ryu was shit in this lol

[shinzu12]

err yea this was before the game came to arcades in the us and the consoles so stop getting your fucking nickers in a twist if there not very good just watch the danm video.

[jigen219]

hell i could put my nuts on the joystick and pull of better moves than all of them especially that first ryu

[jigen219]

eww where did these scrubs come from??? they horrible!

[SundancerRanger]

OMFG.... the person using ryu is a fucktard...  practice more before u participate~

[dibdib012]

the first ryu couldnt pull off a hadouken even if it risked his life

[mgabruha]

that ryu is a noob.

[XxbestofthebestxX]

bunch of noobs!

[supergaymonster]

"great ass me"!?!?

[euphoriality]

everyone sucked ass.

but this was only the weekend after sf4 came out so you cant give them shit about it i guess.

[MystahDarkness]

man the guy who used ryu sucks ass

[imLOSTirl]

Or it's a case that the E. Honda user is very good.

[foxbaker]

No, ryu sucked, where were the Dragon Punches?

[YouHadMeAtHadoken]

lol in all 3 matches there was a ryu.

[Tenshimeo]

nab ryu player

[luckyaznkid]

dang they kinna noob.. maybe itz their first time play SFiv?
