SFIII fighters to appear in SSFIV News • News • Eurogamer.net

News Xbox 360 PlayStation 3

Makoto, Ibuki and Dudley join slate.

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).

Makoto is a young girl trained in karate, Dudley is a gentleman British boxer and Ibuki is a Ninja in training.

These three were rumoured to be included in Super Street Fighter IV last September when the new fighting game was announced early.

Makoto, Ibuki and Dudley join character additions T. Hawk, Dee Jay, Juri, Adon, Cody and Guy in Super Street Fighter IV.

SSFIV is due for release on PS3 and 360 this spring.

Excellent, every time I read about SSFIV I'm more and more satisfied that this justifies a disc release. Can't wait

@Br0ken_Engli5h - Makoto is not just another Ryu clone.

I just hope this game doesn't do what Naruto (Xbox360) did and have buyable DLC characters.

Never got into SFIII personally and was secretly hoping the rumors of their inclusion in SSFIV were untrue. I was hopeful given their complete absence on the cover art and gametrailers. Alas, my dreams are dashed.

I read Capcom are having some financial difficulties at the moment, I hope this doesn't cause any problems. I really want to get this. And hope they make some great Resi games in the future as well.

Now I can get my arse handed to me by Makoto players in SFIV too!

Great to see that trio back though. I'd cross my fingers for Karin, but I know that's damn near impossible to say the least.

I hope they bring back character music levels, get rid of the SF4 music it's very annoying, otherwise they could have got better characters from the Alpha/Zero series. Rolento Alpha 2 and Gill SF3. Also the SF Ex series; Garuda, D. Dark, Skullomania? Bring these characters back!!

Ibuki - Meh

Gill SF3

Outside. Now

Its a great roster. Karin, Elena and Rolento would be nice editions but I guess we are waiting for SSF4 Turbo for that.

Street Fighter is the gaming equivalent of the IPhone, they keep releasing new versions of it with extra features they conveniently forgot about for the original version.

@Jonny5Alive7

So... you're not used to it yet? I mean Street Fighter has only been around for how many years? I suppose at least you didnt repeat EXACTLY what 10's of thousands of people have been saying for years about Street Fighter's extra iterations.

The price of this games is more in-line with a DLC anyway at just over �20. Yet despite the similarities, it's going to be a completely different beast to play.
These three choices IMO could not have been better, each character is unique. We still have another new character to look forward to (I think).

Yeah, one more character to be announced.

SRK has some screens up here

So T-Hawk has an ultra called Raging Slash - feel free to make your own jokes up ;o)

@ Zoro, yeah Karin would be awesome, but we already have Fei Long and Gouken, Fei Long's rekkas and Gouken's counters pretty much = Karin

SF III in Hi Def in 2D...This will be awesome!...SV IV Hate this semi 2D/3D look, also seems more button mashing, looks to cartoony esp the backgrounds, does not have the depth or charisma of SF III, the whizzing around of the camera when special move - kills the impact & looks confusing and to in your face; compared to the simple effect and able to keep everything in view when done in SF III (2D).

charisma of SF III

Seriously? Are you joking?

No really, I like SF3. I like it a lot, but SF3 has the charisma of a smoked kipper and its telling that the only 3 characters picked for SSF4 were the three most appealing and animated in the game. Hugo with Poison, Q and Elena would have been nice too. I mean, you are calling a game with Twelve, Sean and Remy charismatic?

Also, the 3D element is only in the Ultra Combo when it connects fully. Its a nice bonus for working towards it and if you are disoriented, you should honestly get your head checked since it normally ends in a position that swings the camera back naturally at the end. SF3's Super Arts lacked far more impact and most felt like expanded EX-Moves.

This is why SF IV is no way as classic 2D - SF 3RD Strike (Watch whole fight)

[link url=http://www .youtube.com/watch?v=YnEWSO6NrQo

[/link]

Mood, control, not just button mashing (SF IV is just that), atmosphere in graphics, able to focus without that zooming in out crap, better looking in 2D, not so cheesy as SF IV...That's the reason a large majority people still play SF III...It's better in 2D.

Oh, that match. Parrying the super was an impressive feat, but it hardly backs up your claim.
Large majority? Yeah, that's why 3S is headlining at Evo this year.

Oh, no......wait....my mistake, it's not even there.

For years the Evo top 10 placings have consisted of 80% Chun, Yun, and Ken players. It'd stagnated competitively through shonky balance. SFIV is remarkably well balanced for a first incarnation. SSFIV should (should) only improve upon that.

Seriously, I love 2D fighters still, but there's so many things wrong with those comments it's unreal. The camera only pans around a character when a move hits and is fully committed, but is static apart from that. How can that be confusing?
