Edge gave the game a 9/10 some time back.

"Does it deliver? Does it ever."

"[Street Fighter IV] puts seriously damaging strings of moves within the reach of the average player and places the tactical depth that is the real genius of the series firmly within reach of all, rather than just the elite."

"One of the finest fighting games ever made."

"It’s every bit the equal of its older brothers, and in conceptual terms is perhaps even beyond them in the way it caters for players of all abilities."

"This is, without doubt, a masterpiece of the genre."

i tried different vs games on mame emulator via keyboard and seriously dude it sucks .
its really hard to make combos and special combos , a arcade stick or a 360 controller on the pc will do the job .

Yes, I think any game that requires rotational movements would benefit from a controller or stick.

my memon friend from clifton got an arcade stick mod made from kharadar for his ps1 needs way back .
he's so much addictive to them vs games me and my buddy use to goto sagar games just to play kof series and sf series, honestly dude when he sat on that arcade bench , he use to end the game and whoever comes in his way gets crippled .
he even bought a arcade machine just to suffice his needs and practices at this home playing kof2000 just get on top of people's nerves in sagar .
i just remember when he got sf 1 for his arcade, dam most hardcore and most difficult . shoryuken and hadouken were the most pain in the azz to make em .

Mad Catz reveals Street Fighter IV controllers, accessories

courtesy: joystiq

Set for release alongside the anticipated fighter's February debut, the lineup includes an official Street Fighter IV controller and arcade stick for the Xbox 360 and PS3, each adorned with the game's unique art style. Additionally, those pining for a more authentic arcade experience can pick up the stick's 'Tournament Edition,' which will feature "arcade quality" components and a design overseen by SFIV producer Yoshinori Ono. Not enough? A wall scroll, console stickies and faceplates are also on the way, though we expect true fans to dye their skin green or comb their blond hair to preposterous heights before they stand a chance to defeat Sheng Long.
