Super Street Fighter 4

Man I’m Super Hyped.

Major Announcement for Street fighter fans.

Rumors had started a few weeks ago on the Shoryuken forums, stating that either an update or a new stand alone Game would happen for Street fighter 4.

There where rumors basically guessing on who would be added and turns out some of it was true. A buddy of mine sent me a link to a Teaser Trailer website from capcom . The website has a short alittle video with nothing really happening and a date on the page of 9/29/09.

This is what came out of the announcement. Theres an interview by Gamespot with  Yoshinori Ono, who tells us about what will be in Super Street Fighter 4.

Here’s a summary of what Ono had to say.

• Super Street Fighter 4 is tentatively set for a spring 2010 release.
• The update will be released on a disc, and won’t be available as DLC (Downloadable Content) — but the game will be priced as an upgrade — not a brand new title.
• As this time, they’re thinking of adding about 8 characters to the game. (Rumors currently have this pegged at 10 fighters total).
• Capcom is planning on adding more features to the online modes. Things so people can enjoy playing as a group. (Sounds like lobbies are in).
• There will be tweaks and balance changes, along with more online stuff and new features the developers are adding in.
• Bonus Stages aren’t 100% confirmed, but it sounds very likely they’ll be making it into Super Street Fighter 4.
• You won’t need the original disc to play this update, but fans who have a copy of SF4 will be, “happy to have held on to it,” as they’ll be receiving something nifty.
• Juri is a Korean Tae Kwan Do fighter and is very important to the storyline.
• They skipped “Champion Edition” and “Turbo” and jumped straight to “Super” for the name of this upgrade because of the scale and size of what they’re planning.

So I’m super fucking hyped…I’ve been maining Akuma for Street Fighter 4 and been playing for a long time now and street fighter 4 is mostly the only thing I’ve been playing. I plan on getting good enough to go to tournaments. I hope there is a new character I can focus on. Spring 2010 can’t come soon enough.
