Street Fighter IV PC Specs

Anyone have it running in 4:3 on their cab that wants to post a pic???

I could be wrong, but I believe in 4:3 the camera just zooms out a little bit to keep the edges the same.  Meaning the characters are a little smaller on screen, and more of the background is visable at once, but the horizontal playfeild is the same width, with no distortion or stretching.

Ive always played in widescreen though.

I'll do it as soon as it comes out for PC and I get it.  Right now I'm running it on my TV, which is 4:3, but really, it looks pretty normal (as I've run it on WS) and there is no major difference.  Capcom just places the power bars a little different for the 4:3 display, but you don't miss any of the action.

Yeah stretched and cropped low res is always better than native res HD. 

better graphics don't always equal better gameplay.  After years of playing Street Fighter in 4:3 I tend to think of of the playing area in 4:3. 

I think jumping just feels better in 4:3, especially if I'm playing Vega.

While Im just guessing what the graphics do from 4:3 and widescreen, I can absolutely guarantee the gameplay is precisely the same.

That's a great point! Now that you mention it, the only time I've played SF4 was on a friend's Xbox on a widescreen and I think I remember being a little disoriented because when you jump you go partially off the top of the screen due to the zoomed in widescreen view. Personally I'd rather have smaller characters and a little headroom up top. Seems more like the other SFs that way. Then again, I might not be remembering that right. It was 6 months ago... oh god I've tried to forget about this game since then but now I'm getting excited again. This needs to come out NOW!

Arcade games look and play best on their native formats, for SFIV thats widescreen HD. Next you'll be telling me that vectors are better on CRTs because they play "better" on them.
