Street Fighter IV… on the iPhone? Capcom is going for it this March, bringing the acclaimed fighter to Apple's handhelds. But this is no quickie, banged-out port. Capcom has taken months to come up with suitable controls for a platform with no physical buttons, employing a virtual pad and move buttons to recreate the arcade stick right on the touchscreen. After all, without great controls, what's the point?

The game seems to only have 4 buttons. How is that going to work? I can only guess as to what S and SA mean. If this was for PSP it would be phenomenal, it's not like it can't handle it.

See, now this isn't cool. Why on earth would they port it to the iPhone when there's a perfectly good Wii platform to put it on?
I mean yeah, neither of them are "hardcore", but at least the Wii has BUTTONS.

Also, no PSP makes me mad. That's a missed opportunity. And the DS is probably too underpowered, and...


...Gosh, maybe I'm making a bit too much of a deal out of this.

Seems to be, that there is only one kick and punch in this version...

I hate these games that have a billion virtual buttons. My thumbs cover the screen, I have no idea what's going on, and it completely detracts from gameplay. Yes, this is going to fail.

Playing games that need so many virtual buttons is terrible... that's why I just can't play FPS's on the iPhone.

well i guess they just wanted to try it i mean seeing as sfiv sold well enough and super sfiv around the corner they aint reli got much to loose. the only thing this will make rock solid is that the iphone isnt a gaming machine

Well FPS games on the iTouch aren't bad. But virtual buttons for a game like this is horrible since its all Action and it would be hard to touch the buttons. I think this might fail. What do you mean the DS is underpowered?

When you do a hadoken will it shoot real flames from your charging port? Or in the least bit allow you to taze haters. What is this about again?

Oh right. I've seen people on the subway play some really wierd games on their iphones. Some fps where the buttons are on the screen and stuff. It's really bizarre. I think it will sell but controlling this stuff isn't as hard as you believe. Maybe. I don't know. I've never had one. Never want one. What were we talking about?

Capcom can be idiot sometime. They are stubborn not to bring it over to Wii with a little bit adjustment graphic which is fine to us but they are making an excuse. Disappointment.

Capcom can be so awesome sometime. They are very smart to not bring it over to the wii with a little big adjustment graphic with is fine to people who cannot afford a real gaming system but they are making an excuse. Badass.
