@Jnkzm4: I think that the red ring issue was solved long ago, just a guess.

@Archaotic: My room mate would agree with you since all he uses is the scowling demon...though he did learn not to use the raging demon on me anymore. :D

I just hope that this game comes out soon and that it's as good as Third Impact, but until then SFHD should hold me over, maybe.

Word Man

this is goin to be a must have...i am buyin this for both pc and ps3.....not 360 though...not till they fixed r.r.o.d. problem....

Jnkzm4

@MasonL87: Arcade SFIV essentially runs on a PC. Shouldn't be too hard porting the code over.

Even though the article said otherwise, Capcom should implement a CAW option. That way people can make whatever SF3, New Challengers, Alpha character that's missing in the game so we can finally put an end to all the "____ needs to be in this game" comments people write after every SF related update.

UmeShoryu

Balanced like Spawn and Necrid, amirite??
I hope they do go the Soul Calibur route and make not just console-exclusive but console-specific characters (a different character for each system) for the sole, express purpose of causing unnecessary stress and strife on the consumers, and for the occasional multi-purchase by the I-couldn't-decide-DAMMIT gamer.

I mean I don't hope that. That's what I meant to say.

Comatose Turtle

No matter who these bonus characters are, they'll be better than the Star Wars characters in Soul Calibur.
As long as the game isn't gimped on PS3, this will probably be one of my favorite games of the year.

TheCleaningGuy

As long as it works with my 360 PC pad I'm game. It's kind of confusing though: who brings fighting games to the PC anymore?

MasonL87

There had better not be console exclusive characters... I will kill this time.

CancerMan

Said it before, said it again. Akuma, or no purchase from me. Make it happen, Capcom.

Archaotic

So I can do a Haduoken on steroids while spitting racial slurs at some douchebag half way across the country?

Schweeeeeeeeeeeeeeet

Batousi

This just in, SF4 will have exclusive LotR characters for consoles!

Frodo for XB360.

Saruman for PS3.

However, the PC will receive Captain Jack Sparrow as a bitter, yet funny, joke towards piracy.

Terance!

Ok, I whined about Dan, so the other day official art made that a possibility, along with Lei Fong. Now I'm whining about Sakura, Cammy, Karin, Charlie, Adon, Guy, Rolento, Gen, and new new characters that aren't gender benders (i.e. Guilty Gear - Bridget). I know it's Capcom and not Sammy, but the possibilities still there.

Also, I know I'm asking for a Street Fighter Alpha character lineup in a Street Fighter 4 universe, but damn those characters were awesome!

Trowble (XBL/PSN)

@Jnkzm4:

The PS3 would be better for this anyway because of the superior d-pad

LittleBigPlaneteer

I'm all excited about SFIV and new characters for consoles, but will this mean we get a decent d-pad controller for 360?

Pornosaur

One will probably be Morrigan with the same damn sprite they've used since the original Darkstalkers.

StrikerGold

Actually Yoshinori Ono had to take over production of Capcom fighting jam very late into production because the original producer left or somthing like that. So I don´t think he´s really to blame for that game.

Santar

I have my doubts about this game specially with a guy who make a horrible game called Capcom Fighting Jam!!!!? Yoshinori Ono.... I am in between 90% do not buy it and 10% buy it.....

I always trust my feelings(and never failed), but I hope I am wrong at least only this time....

If I was having an opportunity to make a Street fighter game... I will make it 2D and with all the characters with NO EXCEPTION OR EXCLUSIVE CRAP!!!!(including the new characters) and all the special bars from Street Fighter Anthology. New stages for every character and their own background music... Of course with online play. I have more ideas, but why saying it if CAPCOM NEVER LISTEN TO US!!!!

Video

@Terance!: I'd buy it.

Lyrai

I'm a big fan of Vega.

That said, I really hope that they don't make the exclusive characters just for fanboys of random games/movies *COUGH*Soul Calibur 3&4*COUGH* but maybe old Street Fighter characters.

ArgentAngel

@MasonL87: Alot of indie j-fighters start off on PC before getting picked up and published in arcades. There is a following of fighters on PC, in Japan anyway.

I'm hoping for little kid versions of Ibuki and Yun. Cmooon caappcommm.

suntorytime

I hope they don't do that Soul Calibur II bullshit where a different console gets a different bonus character.

DigiMish

@rekenner: Wait, I thought Charlie was turned into Blanka. That's what I have believed since SFII. Terribly confused now.

Word Man

@Trowble (XBL/PSN):

Uh... Charlie *can't* be in the game. He's dead. M Bison killed him, causing Guile to compete in the tournament that was SF2.

rekenner

@Terance!: @savemeaquaman: Huh, I could've sworn that, that was the case in the Good SF story. Well then my mistake.

Word Man

@Word Man:

I just looked Blanka up on wikipedia. What you're thinking of is the plot from the Street Fighter live action movie where they combined Charlie and Blanka into one character.

savemeaquaman

@Word Man:

That was only in the shitty movie, wtf.

Terance!

@Word Man: pft, Charlie... He's just Guile's half-assed replacement. Forget him.

DigiMish

Id like to see the final fight crew in this.

YuSuzuki

That logo looks a lot like the style of the Mario Strikers logo.

greatinsight

Online wont make it better for me. Nothing beats having your friends at arms reach when things go horribly wrong for your side. Still, a welcome addition to many, I suspect.

Shiryu

I hope they are some SF3 characters seeing as it is set between 2 and 3. I'd kill for Elena, and I'd love Hugo back again. And seeing as Yang was in Alpha 3 Upper him and his bro could be in it as well.

Hell, there are going to be at lest three iterations of sf4 over the next few years so I guess all characters have a hope of returning at some point, as long as they aren't dead.

MrLister

I wonder when we'ss get Street Figher 4 Ultimate Turbo X2, with all the characters plus some, and actual ultimate ending.

LuppyLuptonium

@YuSuzuki: Well, Alpha *did* get us halfway there, so...

rekenner

ive waited anad waited since sf 3... this looks very promising (alpha was a complete retarded crap)

Leepox

IBUKI MUST BE IN THIS GAME.

robotleawesome

As long as the chars are consistent across each platform- then yes.

Here's the issue- will the snooty FG crowd ban these chars?

I think this case is different then the SC4 case due to SFIV only having 16 chars (so far) and SC4 having about twice that.

arstal

I want Ibuki and Alex in this game too!

Superstar90

I'd buy this for the Xbox, and the PC, and then take the PC copy to make the ultimate SF Arcade cabinet!

ParadoxControl

@Batousi: Its the only way America knows how to do it baby!

AsWater

@Santar: If you see... there are many games that change their date releases to make the game better... so, is no excuse that he produce the game too late. He had the option to release it late and work on it better...

In the previous, I tried to say is partially his fault(Yoshinori Ono), but is the fault of Capcom bosses who push him to release the game as soon as possible.

Like I say it before:"I hope I am wrong about this new game."

Video

imagine a younger Gill in the game!

delphiki

No thank you Capcom, I'm perfectly content replaying my old copy of Street Fighter EX2 Plus. Thanks anyway.
