@ Haggard : the Taito X² is a PC (and an upgradable one at that : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taito_Type_X#Taito_Type_X2 ), so they will most probably port it from the arcade version, not the 360 version.

Well, first of all, I am not going to use proper typing, because i do not feel like typing really neat with commas and all that shit. Secondly, I am using my PlayStation 3 Computer Entertainment System to type this, and it is easier for me. Third, there has not been a fun Street Fighter since Street Fighter II, and yeah, niggas, do not hate on me for what I do.

Oh god, I accidently plussed Rodrigo's second comment thinking it was someone mocking his original post. I thought it was the most brilliant satire I have ever read, and holy shit that was someone actually seriously posting. There is someone that horrendously stupid in this world.

Just because we have two games of forever doesn't mean we're not also greedy
We want our cake and eat it too. Personally, i wish i had had more time with Mario Kart, but Okami got in my way (which in itself is fun, though it's having trouble recognizing my Power Slashes)

Not only the art style is something unique, but also the fighting mechanics look amazing, the fact that there is no more parry will make everyone find other strategies to rely on...can't wait..!

@ noshino
I'm not quite sure why you bothered to reply to me. You know I hate your freaking guts.
@ John McPoop...
I highly doubt that. By most accounts GRID has a lot of good things going for it and its a decent game. Plus add in the fact that unlike certain sony fanboys I have never hailed it as some sort of system seller or epic game. Nor have I ever had doubts about the game as you sony fanboys do about some of your "killer" games.
Nice try though arrogant prick.

Still waiting on KOFXII news... It's sad that I'd buy something rivalling the GUILTY GEAR X-series over SF IV. I mean, I'll get *both* eventually, I'm in no rush or hype over SF IV anymore.
Here's hoping its gameplay is better than the visuals and those godawful new characters.

I still fail to see where this is pushing the technical envelope to something we haven't seen before
You might have to sacrifice a bit of the background action, but just look at those characters. There's nothing there that Wii can't handle. Hell, there's nothing there that doesn't look significantly better than Brawl, which could handle twice as many simultaneous characters

Mr Khan, when you say there's NOTHING that DOESN'T look much better than Brawl, you seem to imply that Brawl looks like poo and the Wii couldn't handle SFIV after all!

Arcades are pretty much extinct.
The that isn't 50 miles from me is on base (and I'm no longer a military dependent). It has like 5 games and a claw machine. One is a DDR-esque game with diagonals, 3 old light gun games, one SCII with a worn out joystick. With gas being almost 4 dollars here, I can't really afford to drive out of my way to play a video game with people who will only make snide remarks about my gender.

So whats Capcom's release history on PC, in terms of their fighters?
Street Fighter (1988)
Street Fighter II (1992)
Super Street Fighter II (1994)
Super Street Fighter II Turbo (1994)
Street Fighter Alpha (1995)
X-Men Children of the Atom (1995)
Street Fighter Alpha 2 (1996)
They basically halted official releases of PC fighters after 1996, and I wouldn't be surprised if some of their other series had the same thing happen (like Megaman X).
That being said, all of the arcade versions of their fighters are now playable through emulation (including the newer 2D/3D ones), and Street Fighter 3 was released on Gametap recently (albeit without netplay).
Is there an audience on PC out there? Maybe. If they can bring good netplay, people would probably stick around to play it on PC for years. I think it would be a good idea to pack in a bunch of their other titles with netplay support as well, since PC-only-gamers haven't had a sniff of Street Fighter for over a decade.
Its kinda funny though, Capcom chose a horrible time to get out of making PC versions of games. All of the ports of crossover titles were non-existant to say the least. All of those games plus Street Fighter 3 would have been possible on the PC.
Really, the only decent fighters from Capcom to come out during the PSX era was Street Fighter Alpha 3 and Capcom vs. SNK.

The new port nowadays probably has a lot to do with the fact that the arcade machine it's made for IS an x86 PC, complete with the embedded version of Windows XP.

Makes sense considering arcades aren't as popular as they use to be, especially in Japan. If Capcom wants to make money they need to release the game on 360 and PS3.
