Street Fighter 4 Hands-On
The lucky bunch at Kotaku were able to get a hands on demo of Street Fighter 4, getting a chance to go head-to-head as all 12 of the original bunch plus the 4 additional, new characters.
Here are the highlights of their review:
- Tight gameplay that, excitingly, had the same gameplay feel of the 2D SF games.
- Might be too safe: characters are basically the same and the additions are limited in number
- El Fuerte was the most popular “new” character with lightning quick moves
- Fat boy Rufus is a “joke character” but can seriously hold his own
- The sexy Crimson Viper may be the easiest for new players to play with out of the box
- Abel seems much like Zangief. He is less powerful but has the awesome ability to pluck opponents out of the air for grappling moves while they are in the middle of attack.
- Fantastic animation, gorgeous motion
- Nostalgic blend of new and old

Street Fighter 4: Official Game Trailer
Last night during the CBS presentation of MMA fighting, featuring Kimbo Slice vs. James Thompson, Capcom aired the first ever commercial for Street Fighter 4 with their Official Video Game Trailer. Watch it below!
Uhoh… it’s really, really happening! Here comes Street Fighter 4!
Fei Long, Dan and Seth (Boss) Rumored for SF4!
When it rains it pours!
We’ve got word that not only will Fei Long and Dan appear in SF4 but that Seth (the Puppet Master) will be a Boss for the game. Seth is CEO of Shadoloo’s weapons division - S.I.N - and has been refined with cutting edge technology.
Initial reaction to the announcement has been mixed. One of the main concerns being the name “Seth” as a boss figure. Sure, it might be a classic SF character but does the name Seth strike fear into the hearts of opponents?
“Oh no… Seth is Coming!” sounds like it could be accurately shreiked with a high pitched lisp. We thought the same thing at first, but then we saw his picture and decided that any vague insinuation of homosexuality could result in our skull being crushed in the palm of his hand.
So now we are shutting up.

Rumor: SF4 This Winter on XBox, PS3 & PC!
Get ready Street Fighter fans, because if these unconfirmed rumors are true, Capcom accidentally leaked information revealing that Street Fighter 4 will be released this Winter!
French site, Jeux Video, claims that a Capcom press site accidentally included the tidbit about the release time but at the moment, doesn’t include a link to where the info was found. Perhaps Capcom smartened up and took it down, but we’re hoping we can rummage around and at least find a screen shot to put some legitimacy behind this awesome possibility.
Street Fighter fans have waited for over a decade for the real “next” version of Street Fighter. When SF4 was officially announced, excitement started to build… but it seemed the game might get further delayed until Fall 2009. Now, this exciting turn of events could ensure that SF fans across the world have a Hadoken Happy Holiday Season!
Stay tuned for more!

New Street Fighter 4 Character Announced!
That’s right folks… we’ve got another SF4 character picture but unfortunately no name to go along with it. Take a look:
From the looks of him, he’s got a martial arts and possibly jiu-jitsu background coupled with a more modern fighting style. If he was an MMA type fighter… now THAT would be sweet!
We’ll have to wait for updates on this one to learn more about his name, story line, moves and so on but check back soon - we’ll keep you posted!

New SF4 character on friday?
From Kotaku news-
“The official Japanese Street Fighter IV development blog teases that this Friday—Japan Time, that is—fighting fans will get their first look at a new addition to the game’s roster. The only officially revealed characters guaranteed to throw down at this point are Ryu, Ken and Crimson Viper, with the game’s producer hinting heavily that Dhalsim, Chun-Li and Akuma will make appearances.
With a good portion of the Street Fighter II roster expected to return, we’re certainly looking forward to who will show up on the official site on February 8th, as well as the game’s appearance at the AOU arcade show happening this month.”
