Revision as of 09:33, 22 August 2013
Street Fighter IV (full title: KuaiDa ChuanShuo - Street Fighter IV) is a Famicom game made by Hummer Team and published by Gouder Co. in 1993. Aside from having Street Fighter in the title, it is a practically original fighting game and should not be confused for the official game released by Capcom. It should be noted that this game has a sound select like in Somari and is one of several pirated fighting games for the Famicom to have voice samples.
Street Fighter IV plays like many of Hummer Team's other pirated fighting games. The gameplay is modeled after Street Fighter II, with many attacks and special moves being copied from that game. The voice samples are extracted from that game as well.
Characters
There are 6 different characters in the game, 5 of which are playable. Each character has a recolour and in the single player mode, these are essentially more difficult versions of the same character. Like Hummer's earlier fighting games, the player doesn't fight himself (not counting recolours) and the opponents are fought in a predetermined order.
Cliff/Goho Li - Essentially the Ryu of the game. He even sports the same gi (different colors but Goho Li's is white) and uses very similar attacks.
D, DF, F, a: Hadouken
F, DF, D, a: Shoryuken
D, DB, B, b: Hurricane Kick
Pasta/Rober - Supposedly the Ken of the game. Unlike Ken though (except for later games), his Hadouken and Hurricane Kick are slightly different, being more wavier. The moveset is the same as Cliff/Goho Li's.
Bunny/Tracy - One of the more original characters (and from here on are the more original ones), these 2 seem to be Playboy bunnies working at a circus with racing cars. (although the sprite shows them with cat ears instead. Tracy's portrait shows bunny ears but is a recolor though)
D, DF, F, a: Card Shot
D, U, b: Backflip
F, DF, D, b: Spin Attack
Chunfo/Moon - These characters are monks, one of the original characters.
D, DF, F, a: Hand Shot
D, DB, B, b: Praying Spin
F, DF, D, a: Hand Thrust
Stalong/Ranboo - These 2 are pretty much topless men in pants. They're the only characters in the game that lack projectiles. It should be noted how their moveset seem to be similar to Guile's via commands.
Hold Back, b: Flying Kick
B, F, a: Dive in
D, U, b: Knee Stomp
Musashi/Conbon - Both of these appear to be Japanese samurais. These two are the antagonists of the game and are unplayable through normal means. (However, via emulation, the game can be hacked into allowing you to play as them; they even have proper special move commands!)
The Legend is an updated version of this game which changes numerous aspects of it. This hack was released on a 15-in-1 multicart by ABAB Soft in 2005.
Differences Between Street Fighter IV and The Legend
The Legend removes the English title from the title screen.
All references to Gouder Co. are removed. (Although the credits are unchanged from the original game)
The DPCM samples seem higher-pitched and more distorted.
The recolours were removed, making the game itself much shorter.
The select screen is different, choosing one character fills up all the icons with the selected character's icon. Also the VS screen's portraits stop halfway through instead of going all the way to the other side of the screen.
In a similar way to King of Fighters '96, "Ready" appears at the top of the screen before the fight starts.
Pasta's and Stalong's portraits were swapped.
The ending loops and all the characters are replaced with Cliff. (But using their palette)
Stalong VS Conbon, the latter being an unplayable boss
Cliff/Goho Li's and Pasta's/Rober's body seems to be from Master Fighter II's Ryu. Also Stalong/Ranboo's sprites seem to use Guile as a base, especially since Guile's face appears on some of Stalong/Ranboo's sprites.
Marry from AV Bishoujo Senshi Girl Fighting is actually Bunny but with a different projectile move and portrait. Also, all of the stages (with the exception of Chunfo's/Moon's) were taken from SFIV but they have rearranged music. Many other graphics, most notably the HUD, were taken from it as well.
The Hacker (a hack of Dragon Co.'s Felix The Cat by Nanjing) uses one of the graphics from Pasta/Rober's stage. This is unlikely to be an actual connection though, because the graphics were originally from Shatterhand.
According to the credits, the composer of the game is B.B. King. However, this likely refers to Barbara King from the credits of Street Fighter II, although she was an artist for that game.

Trivia
Unlike other pirated fighting games made by Hummer Team, the 2 player mode is selectable on the title screen. In most of the other games, this has to be activated on the character select screen.
On some emulators, the options menu is glitched as it doesn't have any captions for the selections. As well as this, the border is missing on the same screen.
The names for Stalong and Ranboo could be a reference to Rambo. This was probably intentional given their appearance.
Cliff appears on the front of BootlegGames Wiki.
Some of the graphics in this game are taken from Shatterhand. As well as this, the Natsume logo can be found in Street Fighter IV's tiles.
