Street Fighter IV's achievements are down+right+fierce

by Xav de Matos { Jan 31st 2009 at 1:30PM }

We love Street Fighter as much as the last guy who grew up in the age of the arcade, so we know a lack of balance when we see it. That said, Street Fighter IV's achievements are not for the faint of heart. Starting off as simple as winning your first ranked match, they also include defeating Master Gouken as you clear the arcade mode's hardest difficulty setting.

Those brave enough to go after all 47 achievements -- most of which are more time consuming than actually difficult -- can check after the break for the full list. Oh, and if we see you online, don't just sit there doing the Hundred Hand Slap. Sure, it's a legitimate technique... but so is strangling you with our controller cables. Just kidding! Our controllers are wireless.

derektgreen @ Jan 31st 2009 1:50PM

Blue_Falcon @ Jan 31st 2009 1:55PM

"Street Fighter IV's achievements are down+right+fierce"

That was kind of funny, but at the same time my eyes hurt from rolling so much.

Vcize @ Jan 31st 2009 2:16PM

I LOL'ed.

rTwelve @ Jan 31st 2009 5:56PM

Yes, congrats to Xav on that pun, I wonder what it would have been titled if it was left+up to someone else

idris09 @ Feb 1st 2009 4:09PM

But you gotta admit, it's catchy and perfect for SF. LOL. I gotta admit I did the same and rolled my eyes... but it's genius! Just presented lamely...if that's even a word. Maybe some graphics of joysticks. Joystick hiring? Designer over here!

myabsolution @ Jan 31st 2009 2:18PM

What an uninspired list Capcom has created.

Omar @ Jan 31st 2009 2:51PM

Love that post title lol.

ice~ @ Jan 31st 2009 2:53PM

Won't be buyin this game any time soon unfortunately.....

PSN:B1gg_Randall @ Jan 31st 2009 3:23PM

I saw these like 2 months ago for the ps3 trophies..I wonder why the 360 ones came out late...But yea Street Fighter 4 is gonna be real good I cant wait...

toastix @ Jan 31st 2009 3:26PM

they both were released at the same time joystiq is just now posting it here because the game is getting close to release.

ed @ Jan 31st 2009 3:32PM

Why do I picture a drag queen voguing after reading this post?

UNSCleric @ Jan 31st 2009 3:32PM

I will never even play this game, never played a Street Fighter, never will.

odis @ Jan 31st 2009 3:46PM

And you felt the need to reply, why?

Sairus @ Jan 31st 2009 7:30PM

Uh. Congratulations.

Maverick Saturn @ Jan 31st 2009 4:20PM

I'm sure this will consume time, so many tough achievements >.< If I spent half the time bothering to complete them all, I doubt I would be as gleeful as I am now :D

kenneth wheelz @ Jan 31st 2009 4:54PM

why is every other comment consist of losers saying they wont be playing the game? Just semi-curious

Reddrive @ Jan 31st 2009 5:45PM

Because they can. Some of you guys need to chill. So they are not buying it. I am sure they are just as tired of you trolling about games they play. If you do not like the comments then skip them.

MattDark @ Feb 1st 2009 4:14AM

you say that about these people commenting. But if they just skipped games they arent playing themselves, rather then wasting time just to say 'Oh, I is nevar gonna play dis game anywai' you wouldnt get people complaining about them in the first place.

CABALLOTE @ Jan 31st 2009 4:52PM

SF4 is leagues beyond fighters like Soul Caliber IV, Tekken, and Mortal Kombat.

Noobs stay away... you don't deserve to touch this bar-setting Jewel--Street Fighter 4.

As addictive as Street Fighter games are these achievement seem cake to me.

donnie @ Jan 31st 2009 5:24PM

Better than Soul Calibur and the atrocious new Mortal Kombat games, definetly. Although I am actually more psyched for Tekken 6 than SF4. Love them air combos!

Brucie_K @ Jan 31st 2009 6:13PM

I love the Street Fighter series. They're really fun to play with friends.

Metalfr3ak @ Jan 31st 2009 7:21PM

@ Reddrive

If they're so tired of people trolling their games, then why turn around and do the same thing to others? LOL Makes perfect sense...."He Hit me First!" Doesnt make it right.

Reddrive @ Jan 31st 2009 8:37PM

@Metalfr3ak

I think we both agree "Don't feed the trolls."

I know it would be nice if the said "I'm not getting because the D-Pad sucks and I don't need more accessories for laying around", but the this wouldn't be the the way of the net.

Just like every game release post has plenty comments like that. "HALO is the SUXORs!!1! RPG FTW!!!1!1" and so on. Commenting on it just feeds it.

Cheers

ZenGaijin @ Jan 31st 2009 9:24PM

I don't care, that's fucking clever.

Nice Pun!

Patrick @ Feb 1st 2009 12:13AM

I hope the game lets you track your progress in each achievement, like in GOW2 or Orange Box.

Wiinterfang @ Feb 1st 2009 1:22AM

I'll wait for KOF XII.

MattDark @ Feb 1st 2009 4:19AM

as much as I love a good fighting game, ive never been more then an average player, I can see many of these acheivments (Mainly difficulty based, and winning ranked matches in a row) being very hard, if not impossible for me to beat.

Still 3 weeks to go, got plenty to keep me busy till this comes.
