Super Street Fighter IV unveiled News
Xbox 360 PlayStation 3 News by Robert Purchese
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.

Hmmm. This news kind of upsets me. Can't they just release this as an expansion so I can download the new characters and stuff. I only have room for one Street Fighter.

Damn - I will have to buy this so that I don't miss out on any tourneys that are using it.
Glad its a new product rather than DLC. |

I really want the bonus stages to return as well - I hope they confirm this aspect of SSFIV tomorrow.
Actually - bonus stages in the same vein as this bonus mini games in Tatsunoko Vs Capcom would rock ! |

What is the point in this when everyone is either Ken or Sagat anyway?
I suppose the illusion of choice goes quite far..... |

I think that for most people who play SFIV quite regularly as I do, adding something such as a second Ultra, much less an 'Air Ultra', really does constitute a totally new game. If every character receives a secondary Ultra, as far as I'm concerned we'd have to start from scratch in terms of our character/ match-up knowledge.
Whether or not the changes will improve the game is another matter entirely, all I'm saying is that the scope of these changes should not be trivialised as some people here are doing. |

I agree with dopeonthetable. for competitive players, even only a slight balance update is a big deal.
still, it's not the nineties anymore. we have internet, and we have patches on consoles. how many players do you think are gonna go quietly to the store to buy patched version after patched version of the same game? only a very small percentage, those who play fighting game professionally. oh, no, wait. they play in the arcades actually... (I'm the one to talk. I still remember when I brought back virtua fighter 4 to buy virtua fighter 4 evo...)

Right I'm starting a boycott group for this. Prehaps Capcom will fly me to their offices to see how this is more than just DLC for the price of a full game.

This really should and could be DLC - even if it's expensive DLC.
The ultra gauge already has 2 segments for no useful reason. |

Before you start talking of a boycott why not wait until the official announcement and see how this is to be implemented. It's not unheard of for a complete overhaul via DLC, look at Samurai Warriors 2 on the 360 for proof. They released the 2gb Extreme Legends download that completely overhauled the graphics and some of the gameplay whilst adding new characters and levels, sure it cost about 2000msp, but still better than them releasing a whole new game.

Oh, boy. I just knew that this was going to happen. I thought that Capcom said that there would be no more SF 4 revisions? I thought they said that there would be no Final Fight or Street Fighter 3 characters (probably to please whiny fanboys out there for those)? But...it's Capcom we're talking about here. You know they love milking series such as this.
I just hope that they release this as DLC. Sure this stuff has worked in the past, but there should really be no reason to keep making more versions of the same game as of today. If you're going to make a fighting game such as this, why not just delay it or some sort to have things added in as intended? Wouldn't this hurt the fighting game franchise in general as of today?

Can they tune the difficulty to 'fun' this time please? It's the most aggrivating game I have ever played. Had such fond memories of it too from SNES days. Either I am now too old now to be any good at these games or it fucking cheats..it fucking cheats!!!

From a consumer perspective I'd want Super4 to replace 4 in the shelfs, and people owning 4 get to buy it as the DLC-Expansion it de facto is. This would also make sure that there can be cross-version multiplayer, which always results in a more lively community. Splitting it off into different branches makes no sense really.
Knowing Capcom however, I suppose they rather try to sell it on its own for $60 bucks, not caring if they make less money and piss off more people that way. $15 DLC would surely be stretching it. |

Read it twice now, and i can't see anywhere where it says anything about this game being a full release, OR DLC, so i'm not sure it's worth people getting in a mess over it just yet.
Capcom already hammered the game with DLC (regardless of your opinions as to it's credibility) so i can't imagine they'd want to stop now. |

Yeah, fuck Capcom for daring to announce a sequel a year after it hit arcades!

As someone who doesn't really like DLC, I'd much prefer this to be a physical release so I wouldn't be missing anything when I finally get around to buying Street Fighter IV.
I can however understand why it would be better suited as DLC so I see both sides. |

Cody!!!!!! Guy!!!!! Awesome! Hope they wear their Final Fight costumes.
I was kind of expecting a Super Street Fighter 4 (though thought a Champion Edition would come first lol) - was only a matter of time. I'm not complaining though - I always love new Street Fighter updates. Though this time I'm hoping they'll announce a Wii version after Tatsunuko Vs Capcom sells bucket loads! |

The ultra gauge already has 2 segments for no useful reason.\
It tells you how much damage your Ultra is going to deal. When the gauge passes the first line, you can initiate the Ultra. When it is full, you will deal maximum damage with it. At least, that's how it is on the PC. |

Dudley, Ibuki, Cody, AND Makoto? I'd pay double full price for thems I don't give a crap! Is anybody surprised Capcom releasing another SFIV like this? Really now? Them doing it for every single Street in the series didn't tip you off?
