DELTETHISACCOUNT Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 In a Twitter post, a Capcom Unity staff member responded to a question from Pinetar80 asking the team if we'd see new information on Super Street Fighter 4 this weekend.They stated. No. But [maybe] Monday. The game was apparently shown to members of the press behind closed doors at the Tokyo Game Show, but Capcom isn't making it official just yet. But, you can take this post as confirmation as Capcom is saying that Super Street Fighter 4 exists and an announcement is coming very soon. Update: A reader also pointed out this image from Gamepro Germany. At first glance, it's just a shot of Yoshinori Ono with some other guy, but if you look a little closer in the background, you can see T. Hawk in his Street Fighter 4 form. Also, in the photo on the left, near the guy's leg (blue arrow pointing the way) you'll see an "S" which Genini pointed out would likely be the first letter in the word "Super," and that this is part of the new logo for Super Street Fighter 4. http://www.eventhubs.com/news/2009/sep/26/...ossibly-monday/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOC Veteran Posted September 29, 2009 Veteran Share Posted September 29, 2009 Hey look, I was right about "Super" being in the title! Wayhey! Now that Street Fighter IV has successfully revived the Street Fighter franchise, Capcom is looking to keep the series going with a new expansion. The new game, Super Street Fighter IV, aims to build on the foundation laid by this year's SFIV by adding new content that includes more playable characters, improved online features, and rebalanced characters. We got a demonstration of the work-in-progress Xbox 360 version from producer Yoshinori Ono and have much to report.Before we dive in, we should explain what Super Street Fighter IV is, and more importantly, what it isn't. This is not a downloadable add-on for Street Fighter IV. You may be wondering, as we did, why Capcom didn't simply release Super Street Fighter IV's additions as downloadable content in the same way that Fallout and Grand Theft Auto IV received massive updates by way of DLC. However, Capcom has decided that the new game will come on a separate disc. Ono explained that when Street Fighter IV was originally being developed, certain aspects of the game code weren't laid out in such a way as to support the features that are being added in Super Street Fighter IV. While Capcom had initially considered making SSFIV's content a download pack of some kind, it became clear that just tacking the new content onto the old game wasn't going to be possible. As a result, SSFIV will be released as a standalone disc that won't be sold at full price. But, the producer explained, before you get rid of your SFIV disc, be advised that SSFIV will offer current SFIV owners a bonus that Capcom isn't revealing at this time. As far as what to expect from the new game, Super Street Fighter IV will offer a mix of content that's directly related to the Street Fighter community's feedback about Street Fighter IV, as well as content the team had originally planned to add in a future installment after wrapping up SFIV. The topic of new characters was an area where fans and the development team were both in synch. As a result, the game's original roster of 25 characters is being bumped up by roughly eight new playable characters. Our demo showed off two of them, a brand-new, original female character named Juri and the returning character T. Hawk, who originally debuted in Super Street Figher II. The remaining additions to the roster are still up in the air, and Ono stated that although the team is currently planning for eight additional characters, that number may change based on the course of development, as well as fan feedback now that word on the game is out. The current plan is to pull in more classic characters as well as toss some new ones into the mix. From the sound of it, exactly how many classic characters versus how many new characters make it in still hasn't been finalized, and may change depending on fan feedback--so it'll be interesting to see the final lineup. It's also safe to assume that there will be new background stages for the new characters as well, although we didn't see any in our demo. In terms of what we did see in action, fans should be pleased. T.Hawk has undergone the same update that the classic characters did in SFIV. His 3D model is faithful to the look of his old 2D sprite and his moves have also been carefully translated to 3D as well. His super and ultra combos have gotten a spectacular, special-effects-laden facelift that make his typhoon grapples look painful (and satisfying) to see in action. But whereas T.Hawk is the same powerhouse we all know and love, Juri appears to offer an alternative for players looking for speed and finesse. Juri is a Korean fighter, a first for the series, who uses Tae Kwon Do and relies on an extensive array of kicks that reminds us a bit of Kim Kaphwan from SNK's King of Fighters and Fatal Fury games. The amazingly flexible and sensibly dressed vixen is fast and appears to use a variation of the soul energy Bison and Rose do. In addition to the expected array of kicks, Juri uses the energy for projectiles and an enhanced radial kick that looks to be pretty handy at dealing with enemies in the ground or air. Her supers are painful to watch; one starts with her breaking her opponent's back with a mighty slam and then lifting them up to taunt them before finishing the move. SSFIV will also make another less-flashy-but-key addition in the form of a comprehensive tuning to each of the existing fighters. The work will include balance tweaks the team wanted to include based on their own experiences as well as feedback from fans. In addition, returning fighters will get new ultra combos in addition to those seen in Street Fighter IV, which will require players to refine their fighting strategies. This work will be key to SSFIV's online matches, which are getting some serious work done to them. While Ono wouldn't go into specific details, mostly saying that SSFIV will feature an online experience that is considerably enhanced over the one in SFIV, he dropped a pretty big hint that some form of lobby system may be added. The only downside to all this is that, because of all the upcoming changes, SSFIV won't be compatible with SFIV online. The visuals in the game haven't undergone a tremendous change from SFIV. The returning characters and stages we saw looked pretty much the same. Juri and T.Hawk are done in the same art style as the rest of the roster and fit right in. Even though the demo we were being shown on Xbox 360 was a work in progress, the game was already humming along at full speed. Based on this early look, Super Street Fighter IV is shaping up to be a smart evolution of the groundwork laid by Street Fighter IV's revival. The new content and gameplay tweaking seem like they'll be meaty additions that will offer fans a lot to tear into and master. While the incompatibility with SFIV is a downer, we're happy to hear that Capcom won't be selling SSFIV at full price (although our happiness will be directly tied to exactly how much it's selling for). Super Street Fighter IV is slated to ship in spring of 2010 for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. Look for more on the game in the coming months. http://tgs.gamespot.com/story/6230625/supe...ions-first-look Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

furyshinobi Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 ^^ I do hope they add some characters from SFIII Third Strike like Ibuki and Alex :) I can't wait for this game. I did rent SF4 for my 360 a couple of weeks ago and was about to buy the game until this announcement. This game is a must buy for me and I can't wait to have some fun with Juri.

TheLaughingMan Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 Ono said something about people who owed the first SF4 that they shouldn't trow it away or something. IDK we might get a special treat for owning both. It was on the interview video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudy Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 They should get started on a new Breath of Fire game instead of this ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah in the Gamespot article I linked to, they mention that owners of SF4 will get a special "unnamed bonus" when SSF4 comes out. Probably something lame though lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Audioboxer Subscriber² Posted April 15, 2010 Subscriber² Share Posted April 15, 2010 Link? First Play is the UK's equivalent of Qore. 99p an episode, one every week. I subscribed for 3 months for £8.99 to give it a bash and hopefully get some free stuff/entry to betas. Free minis game this week, but I hope to get some PSN games down the line.
