Chances are that if you’re reading this, you’re a pretty big Street Fighter Fan. Afterall, Street Fighter 4 won’t be released for a couple months and we’re already drooling at the cover art on the Collector’s Edition that will be available in North America. Take a peek:

YUMMY! Oh, what is that I hear? XBOX 360 fans complaining? Complain no more, your Collector’s Edition Cover Art is here as well:

Man, I really really LOVE this one:

The SF4 Collector’s Edition is $79.99 and here is what you’ll get for being a faithful SF4 follower in these trying economic times:

1. The game (duh)

2. A limited-edition (ie., not sold anywhere else) figurine – Ryu in the PS3 box, C. Viper hotness in the 360 flavor. Decisions, decisions…

3. Street Fighter IV: The Ties That Bind: a 65 minute anime movie — created by Studio 4C — that sets up the story of SFIV by explaining events post-SFII. BluRay disc in the PS3 box! The Xbox version is a 360 game disc that outputs the movie at 720P, not a DVD.

4. A mini-strategy guide from Prima, written by the same people doing the full-on guide and illustrated by Udon Comics

5. CD soundtrack. Rock SFIV stage chunez in your car!

6. …Plus some secret additional downloadable content that we’re not quite ready to reveal at this point. Look for more announcements soon!

Top 20 Street Fighter Characters of All-Time!

Today GameDaily published a list of the Top 20 Street Fighter Characters of All-Time and we felt it would be fun to share the list with you and see what you thought about the list. How would you change the list? We realize this is as objective as asking someone what their favorite color is but cmon, its a fun excercise.

20) Yun and Yang

19) Sheng Long

18) Dan

17) Deejay

16) Alex

15) Ibuki

14) Dhalsim

13) Sakura

12) Vega

11) E. Honda

9) Akuma

8) Sagat

7) Cammy

6) Ken

5) M. Bison

4) Blanka

3) Zangief

2) Ryu

1) Chun Li

My own comments: I don’t like Zangief at all so coming in at #2 is pretty shocking. I’m a Guile fan so for Zangief to be 8 spots ahead of Guile I was like WOAH. The rest I don’t have a problem with… not that it would be MY list but its a decent list.

But does it represent what SF FANS think the list should be? Voice your opinion!
