more of a challenge. sf4 is being set up for the casual gamer. so most hardcore players will shy away from it. pick up and play is good for the casual gamer. not for a tournament player that thinks he can get beat by a button masher at any time. besides outside of the 3-d graphics sf4 has brought nothing new to the table as far as gameplay,they even took away aspects from sf3. so if anything i think sf4 is regresssing to appeal to a wider audience
there are still tournaments for the original sf2. there are plenty of people that say sf2 is still far superior to newer versions.
fighting games arent about graphics,new characters and moves like most genres are. most fighting game fans just want a system that is balanced and can provide hours of gameplay in order to master a single character. some of the most popular fighting games worldwide are may look like the worst to the average gamer (i.e. all the videos smurf posts that people make fun of him for) but the reason they are popular is the fighting engine,has nothing to do with the how the game looks

@Hands,
Well if you're only playing by yourself they're all boring. However once you're introduced to high level play in fighting games it's an entirely different world. There is a certain feeling you get when you play some one on a competitive ground. You can't really explain it, you'll either be motivated to be the best player you can or you'll be totally put off and probably won't touch a fighting game again. lol
However most people never experience it and think of fighting games as button mashing for an hour with a group of friends while picking which character looks coolest.
The thing about 3S is that it is a medium that is 100% about mind games. You constantly need to think ahead. Watch some vids on youtube, it's all about setups and reactions.
I'm excited for SFIV but personally I would be lying if I didn't say most of that anticipation is because it's going to introduce a lot of people who don't or never have played before into fighting games. Even if it's only 1 out of every 20 or so that can get to a decent level, considering that SFIV is going to sell shit loads, it'll still be a nice revamp.

how people use certain characters determines alot on how they are going to change them in future games
the changes to the new HD remix are perfect examples of that. guiles new flash kick and other little tweaks like that were taking directly from pro players in order to make it the definitive tournament game
most 2-d fighting games arent made with casual gamers in mind. thats what scares me about this sf4

To me, its just a fighting game. I dont take them serious, so i guess imjust casual. However, SF is never BORING...i find the AI to be challenging once you put the computer on the harder levels. Not to mention, i fuck aroudn with friends and what have you.
Lets be honest here..these are GAMES....they are meant to be FUN. Who gives a shit HOW its used for FUN? Once people start taking entertainment to serious...it loses its fun factor. Now some casual gamers have to worry about being criticized for just plain having fun.
Not to mention, last i checked, companies who make things, have ONE goal in mind..to make MONEY.

to me if the game isnt deep it gives me no reason to play. i dont get any enjoyment out of a game i can master in a matter of hours. no challenge = no fun. its not like i want it to be challenging because i take my fighting games hella serious,thats just what i expect from all games.
soul calibur is a button mashers dream,i played that shit for one week and got bored to death of it. not because its not a good game,and not fun. i had tons of fun playing my friends,but at the end of the day when i am playing by myself i get no gratification from playing the computer in a game that takes no skill to play whatsoever.
