is there a story mode for this game ?

[Kittysune]

im interested to pick this up when sale happened

Each character has their own story when you play it in arcade mode.

Making sense of the story is a different matter entirely....

from what i remember, you can just play the arcade mode. Whoever you pick will have some battles with a few random characters, then you fight your rival, and then the final boss. Depending if you fulfill the requirements, you might also fight a hidden boss at the end.

But if you are buying this game just for the story mode (I personally find the story of this game not that good), I would say it would not be worth it. You should look for gameplays of this game and see if you like it.

I don't remember if there is a tutorial for the game or not. I do know that there are "trials" for each character, which introduce the special moves and some combos for each one, if you progress far enough into them. There also is a training mode, where you can practice against a dummy for as long as you'd like. I would recommend starting with one of those modes until you get a good idea about the basic controls.

It also might be good to find someone who would be willing to show you the ropes, as it were. Give you an idea of what to do, and how to do it.

Trials in this game are often not practical, they are not optimized and it feels like they are just there most of the time.

You just need to find someone who is willing to train you and show how the game works. It is very hard because this game is hanging by a threat and sf6 is out.

I would suggest to look up Bafael's tutorial, I think he does a good job of explaining the basics of the game and look up "bread and butter combos" for whoever you want to play in this game.

(If you are planning to get the game in the first place)

Arcade mode story is very barebones. You basically get an opening cutscene, the rival fight, and the final boss in regards to story content. The random battles throughout have no story content, you're left to piece some kind of story out of it yourself using your imagination. It's very arcade-like in that the story is not at all the main focus and is there as a "seasoning" rather than the main component of the "meal" so to speak.

Whether or not you're going to enjoy this game boils down strongly to whether or not this sort of game is fun to you. If you've played other Street Fighter games or fighting games that use similar fighting mechanics and enjoyed it, it's probably worth a purchase. If you're tight for cash, it might go on sale for cheap starting with the upcoming summer sale on the 29th.

There is no fully fleshed-out story system, but Arcade mode technically fills the niche. You pick a character, get a brief introduction, fight their rival, and then see what that character would do if they had won the tournament outright.

However, the story is not the main focus. The real meat is PvP -- but if you're wondering whether there is enough to justify a purchase from a purely single-player perspective, that heavily depends on you more than the game.

If you are willing to make your own fun (without other players), then it would take you quite a few hours to see every character's story and/or complete all of their trials -- which you can consider doing during matchmaking (if you are not opposed to playing against other people).

Conversely, as an old SF4 warhorse from a decade ago, I spent just as much time in the training room or extending the trial system as I did in actual matches. Even after all these years, I still get the urge to re-install SF4 now and then to chill in the training room.

Here's me making my own fun a few months ago with another 'trial mode extension' experiment. Hardly any of it is possible (or even practical) during legitimate matches, but it's a good source of SP fun and a good way to practice execution:

Conversely, one look at YouTube shows that a tonne of old pros still does similar here in 2023, despite SF4 being two games behind and over a decade old. Again, the value of SF4 (as a single-player experience) will greatly depend on you.

However, even if that sounds appealing, I would still recommend waiting for a sale.

reason why USFIV cuz i never played street fighter before and playing on 2D era might not be the great start for me and really want to get into fighting game

but shame on 40th anniversary capcom none of 3D street fighter got any sale lol guess i have to wait and be lucky next fest on 19th june or summer sales on 29th june

There's nothing wrong with starting via 2D first. The 3D games still play exactly like the 2D games, except you replace 2D sprites with 3D models. Also, some of the 2D titles are still very popular.

Stay away, this game is a nightmare to learn. Unless you enjoy pain, then by all means.

If someone has trouble learning this game, they should probably stay away from 2D fighters in general. The Street Fighter series is the standard for the genre. So if you can't cut it here, then you'll have a hard time getting into any game with similar mechanics and gameplay.

Also, each character has 20 small combo training missions to help you learn what attacks connect well. its wonderfully easy to learn if you can find enough people to play with. but it will take 100 hours to deeply understand, if you are new to fighting games, if you are not new to fighting games, you will really enjoy learning this one. Each character really is unique, they are nearly all very fun to play.
