[Multiplatform] Super RYU vs. KEN IV - They're still adding characters other than Ken?

Well now this is interesting, and I'm not entirely sure whether or not I'm down with this:

Quote:

Tomorrow's Street Fighter announcement has spilled, and turned out to be no less than Super Street Fighter IV.

French website JV247 broke the news and offers a handful of screenshots, which feature old hand T Hawk and new fighter Juri, who's apparently an evil Asian girl working for Seth.

Those details come from various forums making unsubstantiated but convincing claims.

T Hawk, for example, is supposed to be protecting Juri, as she has been brainwashed by Shadowloo. The story apparently takes place a year after Street Fighter IV.

Other new characters rumoured are Dudley, Ibuki, Cody, Adon, Dee Jay, Makoto, Guy and Hakan (an Arabic fighter obsessed with oil).

Speculation also suggests fighters gain access to two Ultras now, one of which may be an Air Ultra. There is talk of the Bonus Stage returning too, and apparently engine changes that make Super Street Fighter IV feel very different to the core SFIV game.

This is really going to depend on what they add, how different it actually feels and what they price it at, but I don't really want to be taken for a ride by Capcom, as much as I loved SFIV. Will be tempting though.

Gamespot have a bit of a hands on and write up: Super Street Fighter IV Impressions

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Amusingly if we go to Super HD down the road we could one day end up with "Super Street Fighter IV Turbo Super HD Remix".

A little more info:

Capcom plans to release Super Street Fighter IV next spring on PS3 and Xbox 360.

The game, leaked yesterday, will be standalone and launch at a budget price.

That's according to GameSpot's information from the Tokyo Game Show, although exactly how much we'll pay is still up for grabs.

Aside from adding new characters - three of which will definitely be T Hawk, Juri and Dee Jay - Capcom is taking the chance to rebalance the existing roster based on your feedback. Part of that process involves adding an extra Ultra combo to each fighter.

The online area of the game will also be brushed up, with rumours of a lobby doing the rounds.

Because of all these enhancements, however, SFIV and Super SFIV will not be compatible online - but there will be some sort of bonus offered to owners of both.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Since they haven't announced a price yet how can you really say if you'd gladly pay for it or not? Sure if they were saying it was going to be full price, but they're not. They've already said it'll be budget priced, so why not wait and see. This could be iffy, but until all the details are announced I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I'm sure some of you have heard, but three more of the new characters for SSFIV have been announced, and as expect it's Guy, Cody and Adon. Check them out, albeit briefly, in this new trailer:

As some keen-eyed observers have noticed, one of the scans features Guy defending himself against a kunai, which I know I don’t have to remind you is the weapon of choice of Street Fighter III’s Ibuki. While Ibuki isn’t mentioned, it’s a pretty good bet that she will also be making an appearance in the new game.

I was speaking idiomatically.

An interesting rumour about SSFIV is floating around this Internet at the moment. Seems like Famitsu did some live streaming event where they were playing SSFIV and someone spotted this menu screen (I'm posting the annotated version which has character names written on):



This screen shows the original SFIV cast, plus the six currently announced additions (Juri, Dee Jay, T.Hawk, Cody, Guy and Adon) plus spaces for an additional four characters. Originally it was suggest that they'd be adding 8 new characters to the roster, but seems like it might be 10 in the end. Capcom haven't confirmed anything yet, but it's looking good.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Oh hell yes. Provided they stick to their plan of releasing this as a cheaper title I am 100% sold.

FELIPE NO

Three fighters from Street Fighter III are making their way into Super Street Fighter IV.

They are Makoto, Ibuki and Dudley, according to the latest issue of Famitsu (as read by All Games Beta).

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

I got my copy for the 360 the other day so I should start appearing on this weekend if anyone is going to be around for playing. Been a while so I imagine I'll be very rusty to start off with. Looking forward to getting back into it though and trying out the new characters.
