To prove that the game really does play like SF2:
- Ryu does his standard j.hk, c.mk xx fb combo.
- Ryu’s super fireball leaves the opponent in block-stun long enough for Ryu to follow up.
- Ryu can apparently link his overhead into c.mk xx fb, which he could also do in SF2.
- Ken keeps his iconic cross-up mk, flaming uppercut, and axe-kick overhead.
- Ryu and Ken both do cross-up hurricane kicks.

To show off new stuff:
- We see an interesting new mix-up based on the dash cancel mechanic, where Ken does cross-up mk, EX uppercut, dash-cancel (presumably threatening a throw), then cr.mk xx fb to catch his opponent when he stands up to tech.
- Ken does his f.mk move from 3S, again presumably threatening a throw, to bait an uppercut. Ryu tries to escape the throw with a reversal uppercut, falling into ken’s trap, and eats cr.hp xx hp shoryu as punishment.
- We see the plane of battle rotate after a throw.
- We see Ken use all three of his supers from SF3 (Shippu, Shoryu-reppa, and Shinryuken).
- We see Ryu and Ken taunting during gameplay, and Ryu flashes yellow when this happens, presumably gaining some advantage from it (building meter?)

…but rather than focusing in on any of that stuff, the guys from 1-UP were impressed that Ryu’s mouth was open when he got hit with the start of Ken’s shippu. Typical. It would be nice if the commentary that accompanied this footage could be given by people a little more experienced with fighting games.
