Is the game dead?

[Chigurh]

Seems like it. Unlucky, it seems so fun and has a great roster, but no ones playing it. I came way too late to the party, everyone already packed up :D

[Rikkore]

Buy 6

[Snake Eater]

Yeah, obviously, that's the story with every fighting game. You always gotta move on to the latest.

[KickStart]

I'd recommend playing by yourself and looking up if there's any local friendlies/tournaments in your area. Its still a great game(My favorite in the series)
But aside from that if you're looking to play with others the community largely shifts to the next installment. Good Luck

Not true as you can still smaller communities play older fighting games. Whoever says this, never plays a fg more than a one month.
BTW a rollback patch just came up somedays ago and there are people testing it to see if it holds enough to make online events.

You forgot to mention what region. It doesn't matter if there's still 10 people playing if those 10 people are only in very specific regions. It's just not playable for most people.

[mrrogers]

If they rereleased it with rollback netcode and some balance changes lots of people would play it again, but they want everyone on SF 6 to sell them DLC
SF 6 definitely aint the best SF, but its the newest one so everyone has to play that or you are in a tiny group of people and its hard to find anyone your skill level.

romanticize this kusoge more.

its probably the worst Street fighter ever created, and it shows.

Im on the fence of buying this. how "kusoge" is sf4?

What holding me back is I heard that even the most baby basic string like chained jab into special, is gated behind linking. But from watching various gameplay clip it seems not so bad.

[已蝶哟 布拉克马吉祥]

The game is too old
maybe you can buy Street Fighter 6 ？

[Sirpixel]

At least is more alive than Sh*t Fighter V

[Ralsei]

game's an acquired taste i hear, but sometimes KnucleDu Hosts sf4 private lobbies on stream, feel free to ask him if abt it if you do play.

on another note, i do wanna fiddle around with a mod that adds a small input buffer to ULTRA, feels like its worth a look,
especially considering half the cast is near unplayable w/out 2 frame links on their punishes (not literal, will prolly not hold up to fact check, but damn it feels like a true statement)

[Shellyderp]

I'm still around and always up for some games. SFIV is the best <3

Sf4 Is the hardest out of all sf games to master. 5 and 6 don't even come close to the skill level you need to beat even intermediate players. Let alone pro's. 5 and 6 are insanely scrub friendly and from now on that's how sf games will stay. We just have to get used to it, no more difficult games or huge skill gaps.

[DragonPlus7]

i still play
