"To call Street Fighter IV the pinnacle of reimaginings is faint praise:‭ ‬it’s a rethink of the‭ ‬2D fighter from the ground up,‭ ‬one with the confidence to enable rather than frustrate players.‭ By simplifying inputs,‭ ‬lengthening combo windows and adding an easily executed,‭ ‬totally flexible,‭ ‬Focus attack,‭ ‬SFIV opens up the depth of the genre to all-comers without ever compromising the system’s depth or fidelity.‭ Finally,‭ ‬fighting is about fighting your opponent rather than the joystick.‭ ‬Finally,‭ ‬Street Fighter’s back." - Edge
