The original Street Fighter IV (2008) had its fair share of problems, so Capcom did well to get back to the drawing board and whip out a sequel. The going was good, and time was running out.
The result is a superbly well-rounded upgrade whose game system feels a lot more tweaked and refined, with the added polish of new 'Ultra' moves and 10 bonus characters.
