Huh? That new Ryu sprite looks fucking fantastic. And I don't think you grasp the MONUMENTAL significance of having new sprites in a Capcom game...this is unheard of.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Fighters, especially 2D ones, are a niche genre these days (IE they don't make a lot of money).

As much as I'd like to see a full blown, revolutionary, big budget Street Fighter IV, I can see why Capcom would stick to a familiar, safe formula and just update Super Turbo.

There's too much risk for them to bother.

Well that's a part of what I was saying, the risk to reward ratio is not favorable to Capcom releasing a full fledged SFIV.

Given their track record, it would take about 3 revisions of the game to get it just right...

According to Sirlin's website there will not be any new frames of animation.

Niche market.

I was speaking idiomatically.
