The Arcade Edition is also available for PC users.Since the 2009 release of Street Fighter IV, this rock-’em, sock-’em fighting game has gotten quite a bit of critical praise and any number of remixes and expansions. From what has been reported online, there have been no issues downloading the game via the PSN or Xbox Live. Ok, it’s a bit of a stretch, but a bug is a bug and when you’re dealing with a $39.99 DLC you want it to be a fluid experience. The issue solved itself, but these kinds of bugs are kind of disruptive.

In order to fix the issue, I had to install the game onto my system, insert the my original copy of Super Street Fighter IV and then re-insert the Arcade Edition before I could get into a match. It took at least 15 minutes to switch between versions and then the game stalled when going into a match. When I first put the disk in, I received an odd error message when attempting to switch between versions of the game. There were one or two issues I had with the game itself. While it may seem like there’s more old than new, the Arcade Edition contains some game changing differences that could easily influence a match’s turnout. There’s an entire Street Fighter tournament circuit that deals in the hit boxes, frame data and input leniency. The small changes to the game are really what matter. You can find an entire list of changes at Event, which you can easily find online.

For instance, Ken now has less recovery time for his crouching medium punch and an improved the hit box for crouching light punch. The major differences come in the form of changing the characters’ hit box sizes and tweaking the recovery period between attacks. The differences here mean the difference between winning a match in a tournament to being put in second standing. Somewhere online there is a list of changes that have been made to the characters’ movesets and frames. Overall the game plays – for at least this average fan – the same. The “Elite” replay function that allows you to see the best players in action is interesting, but it only made me feel slightly more inadequate. In all seriousness though, the recording feature is an interesting but small innovation brought to the online play. I can just see Dan Hibiki getting smashed again and again at my expense, it brings a tear to my eye. It just feels as though my failures are out there for the world to see and it makes me a little sad on the inside. There’s no reason why any player could hold the replay function against the experience as a whole. It’s frustrating one, to be beaten senseless by someone else, and two, to know that they’ve recorded you being thrashed. While reviewing the game, I gave the online another chance and dove in with a combination of the new characters and old favourites. One of the major changes to the Arcade Edition is the ability to record online matches. In Street Fighter II, I can get to Guile then my button mashing stops having its intended effect. I’ll be honest, I’ve always been terrible at Street Fighter. Yun’s divekick and fireball shattering EX shoulder charge are deadly, and anyone in the tournament circuit will likely be seeing him as a character of choice along with his twin brother. Just take a look at Daigo “The God of 2D fighting games” Umehara’s tier list that has both Yun and Yang in his second spots right behind Fei-Long. The roster of 39 characters is absolutely huge and tournament players are shivering at the army of Yuns that is likely headed their way. The addition of Evil Ryu and Oni as well as Yun and Yang, who first appeared in Street Fighter III, are the major differences between the versions. The changes made to Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition are minuscule.
