For a game that has no announced platforms or release date, Capcom certainly is being liberal with the Street Fighter IV exposure. The game was available to play in the Taito center in Akihabara and we were lucky enough that at least one person who was there was sporting a camera. These here videos are not direct-feed, so they're a bit shaky and low-quality, but they're still good enough that the action can still be clearly seen. Which is good, because these vids showcase the first looks at two confirmed characters, Sagat and M. Bison. With the return of these well-known characters, the total fighter list for the is now at 12. With the game having only 16 fighters, how will we see the last fighter spaces filled? Will Akuma be coming back? Will we see more than just two original characters? We'll have to wait and see, as this year seems to be the one that heralds the rebirth of the fighter genre.

When they say Bison the mean the boxer guy. He's called M. Bison in Japan because M. Bison = M. Tyson! But there were some issue with that name when hit US. But as to why Balrog or vega have mixed up names, I haven't a clue

I wasn't really too impressed by what I saw. I'm completely new to the series and this doesn't draw me in. I do not intend to start a flame war or anything, but what is so appealing about this game?
