Bit For Byte finally tackles Capcom’s Super Street Fighter IV! Instead of focusing on match ups, we discuss the fighting game renaissance that had been ignited a year ago by the original Street Fighter IV. It’s been 10 years since Street Fighter III Third Strike, and now more than ever it seems is a fantastic time to be a fighting game fan. The presence of stronger internet has created a stronger community and made it easier than ever for people to find competition. We take a look at the build up to the game through the development blog, the impact of streamed tournaments, our trip to Guard Crush in Brooklyn, and everyone’s favorite: Ken’s Fierce Shoryuken.
In news, Sebastian races to find a Mac to play Team Fortress 2 on, Vanquish shows off some game play, Harmonix tries to reel us back in with a Rock Band 3, and Sony learns the wrong lesson.
