What are your nitpicks/dislikes of the changes in Super SF4?
A few of mine are:
- The announcers sounds like Tager from Blazblue. Capcom sorta broke the streak of eccentric announcers with this one. He just sounds roided. He sounds like what T.Hawk's US voice should sound like.
- Color 12's Crosshatch/Sketch-Style shader looks bad. Looks too much like a 2D overlay than an actual shader. And it looks worse on an SDTV. Color 11's ink shader still looks as awesome as it did on SF4 PC (maybe toned-down a little bit, for the better).
- Bonus Colors/Shaders only affect Color 1. Would've been better if it was separate option (on the select screen) that affects the color you chosen.
- The decision to go with the Still Frames intro and endings instead of the original plan of making fully animated cutscenes. I understand that they cut it out because it got too expensive.
- No more post-round dead body hits. Air stomping on dead bodies was awesome
- Some of the music sounds uninspired and too japanese butt synth. The select screen music isnt as good as vanilla's SF4 indestructible remix.
Suggested by others:
- No more smiley faces in the network matchup screen - dommafia
- Removal of the gallery section, which can be used as a check to see who you've beaten the game with - dommafia (workaround 1: check titles instead - Dan Jones, workaround 2: use the player data method - Bernardo López)
- You cannot quit while observing other people's matches - dommafia (solution: press Start and the resulting menu will have an option to quit - Craig Keller)
- Changes to input display in trial mode - suarage
- Cannot specify on the character-level which voice you would have them prefer to use (English or Japanese), now it's all-or-nothing - gturtle343 (solution: the feature becomes available once you beat the game in arcade mode - Craig Keller)
- If entering Endless Battle in the middle of a match, must wait for that match to be over in order to begin to watch battles - gturtle343 (suggestion: have some sort of indicator of how match is going while waiting, a la HDR - dommafia)
- In vs mode, player 1 and player 2 can choose the same color outfits for the same character - Craig Keller
- Most secondary Ultras differ just by button inputs - Mash

Being able to see what the inputs should be on the actual screen in trial mode. Now it pauses the game and its just annoying for some of the complicated target combos.
I agree. The announcer's voice STINKS.
It would've been cool if you could see what the input should be for the ultra select like in 3S.
they took away the smiley faces where u can show different emotions in the match up screen.
they removed the galleries section therefore making it hard to keep track of who you've beaten the game with.
You can't quit when watching other players fighting (Overall the game is amazing though!)
@dommafia you can quit while observing a match. You press start (i think) and it brings up a menu which allows you to quit.
@gturtle343 beat the game in arcade mode. it unlocks the language picker.
Whats REALLY dumb is that now, in mirror matches, player 1 and player 2 can both choose the character and the same color! It doesnt auto-switch player 2 to color 2 anymore! This is the first game in the Street Fighter series that doesnt auto-change player 2 to a different color.
The fact that the most of the new ultras, if not all, are different button commands. I understand Capcom trying to make it different, but some of them are stupid, (IE Dictator's new Ultra, Ryu's new ultra, Dan's new ultra), it's like, really? Kick? come on now
Also, the new quick match for ranked matches is so stupid, at least let me choose who I get to play
You can still check who you have completed the game with.
You unlock additional Titles when you beat the game in Arcade Mode with each character. You unlock a blue Title for your character when you beat the game on easiest difficulty and a red Title when you beat Arcade Mode on hardest difficulty. That is how you can keep track.
It's still in there bro, you have to unlock it. I'm not sure how i did it but i think it's just by beating the game.
Yeah it is annoying in battlemode but the fact is that it would be pretty hard and interfere with the other players game if you were able to join an ongoing match. This is because of the way it was implemented, the capcom engineers came up with a way for us to view others playing without affecting their connection but it is only possible if everyone joins the match together.
What i would have liked is some kind of indication on the screen of how the match is going. Like show the current round being played and who has won which round. But i guess if they didnt add that it was because it was more complicated than it was worth. Still though it looks kind of bland when you are just starting at the lobby screen waiting for their match to end
I agree, I miss the smileys but I welcome that they have a comment that says "Last Fight." It beats having to type that out in an XBLA message.
One thing I really dislike about it is the inability to choose which characters speak either Japanese or English. I love Cody's English voice but now I have to deal with Akuma and Blanka's "Froggy from The Little Rascals'" impression. Why did they do away with that?
Also, in Endless Battle mode, if you enter the room when the matches are underway you're stuck looking at the lobby room until the next fight starts. It would have been neat to have it send you to the match that's underway.
I agree with Mash. The flags gone is actually one of my big-small things that I was sad to see gone.
1.No Manual taunting at end of round
2.Capcom overused the Half circle motion command for most of there new characters (using a 360 controller with ibuki is VERY frustrating)
3. certain character models (dudley,dee jay's stances annoy me) and makoto's dash punch doesnt leave the image trail behind her like it used to
4.i still cant choose what music i want to hear (a specific track while fighting)
5. my list int he replay chanelle has a wack file sorting system
6. they ruined or altered some tracks a bit to much (dans's guitar solo is great then the song goes to sh*t)
7.certain ultras in the game (would love to see sakuras midair zakura from MVC2 and wtf is akumas 2nd ultra about)
8.voice overs now I am jamaican and DEEJAY sounds NOTHING like a jamaican or any sort of west indian
9.counter ultras are cool but in the long run as players get more advanced whith there gameplay its just gunna be B.S
10.the ultra buttons if im choosing which ultra i want why would you need to switch the commands up? im not gunna get confused
11. character traits 1st blanka always struck me as very mean back in the old sf now he has a mama and talks shit? and why would any1 even think of giving akuma lines to say the strong silent type thing works for him and also his english voice is TERRIBLE
12. does sagat still have no nipples? no homo
13. toooo many goofy characters dan is the ultimate goofball why not throw in some more series characters like alex elena or some of the ex plus characters like allen or hakuto also seth is TOOO cliche'd of a character i would've rather had urien
14.certain supers does akuma really need 2 raging demons?
15. i cant think of anymore ill get back to ya
