whats wrong with cartoon boobs?

sure they dont serve the same purpose as real boobs. But cartoon boobs in a video is better than no boobs in a video. If you argue that one, i question your heterosexuality

cartoon boobs and polygon boobs are stupid end of story. If you say "then youmust be gay lolz" then i have to question if you have the capacity to get a woman to find a drawing to be an acceptable substitute.

that or you are japanese

Apparently the people of age of connan disagree, anyway, BOOBIES!!!!

I love how people become defensive about boobs, real of fake. I mean look at Exo, the hate that this instills. He must prove hes point is superior, and claims those who do not follow his ways to be lessor to him, or I'm reading too much into it.

Yeah thats what I thought too!!??!!

But anyway, upon watching that ckip for the first time, there is one thing that I noticed (other than it looking totally badass)...and I have one question:

Can any other Street Fighter even compare to these guys...?

Probably Bison only. I'm talking a L3 Bison here (in Capcom Vs SNK terms).

o.O this looks nothing like a Studio Ghibli/Miyasaki film. You need to expand your anime watching if you see similarities in this.

I should have said that more clearer. I meant cross-platform as in pc playing against 360 or ps3 players. I didn't see anything in that article to suggest that, but I am glad it's coming out on pc because that is the platform I play on.

Uh...I didn't think the animation was THAT hot. Too Naruto-esque for me. I prefer the art styles from the movies.

Still neat though.

Oh wow, that was really cool. This seems like it's -really- sticking to the source material, with them performing the moves from the game. Oh man, and the orchestrated version of Ryu's Theme... awesome.

Except Ryu's stage's music).

SFII's music is classic.

I prefer the weird blurry scratchy animation of the arcade trailers.

This anime is too traditional

Same here as much I like anime, nothing could match the style and level of awesome of the original SFIV trailer, which is what the arcade version is getting I guess. I love the trailer so much I wish the actual game wasn't so traditional in the sense that the developers are trying to make it like SFII. Oh well maybe next time they will try to reinvent it more.

Here's my guess:

Akuma: I want a challenge! Why aren't you fighting back? Do it for your old master that I killed!
Ryu: My...Master?(flashback)
(Awesome fight with orchestral version of Ryu's SF2 Theme)
Ken: Hey! Leave some for da game!

I am so looking forward kicking the young'uns asses in the arcade in this! I got 18 years of Street fighter under my belt. Am I getting too old for this?

Well, I placed second in two regional tournaments (playing as Dhalsim) in the 80s. However, last time I played a Street Fighter game in the arcade, it was dominated by people who relied more on the super moves than the toe-to-toe fighting.

The style has changed a lot. It's not as fun playing against some kid whose whole combat style is fireball, fireball, fireball, fireball, fireball, fireball, dragon punch, fireball, fireball, fireball, fireball, dragon punch.

It's REALLY not fun playing some idiot who takes M. Bison and then just spends the entire fight flying back and forth until he gets a super move. You can still beat them, but there's no fun and no sport in someone like that.

I used to be great at this game. I paid $130 to import it from Japan for the SNES (Super Famicom version) just so I could play it at home several months earlier than my fellow Americans. I figured I dumped way more than that into it in Aladdin's Castle, so that was a good deal. Bonus: The Japanese version had blood in it, instead of sweat.

However, these days fighting games are more like Tekken; They're story-focused, and victory depends more on the super moves than the straight toe-to-toe fighting skill. It's a different playing field.

I wouldn't be surprised if some of the young'uns kick both yours and my asses at Street Fighter IV. Maybe not from SKILL, but from spastic button-mashing abilities that we older, more refined players will lack.

I don't know whether you have played Tekken or not, but it doesn't really rely on supermoves...most of it is "toe-to-toe" fighting...

And yah, its annoying to see kids these days just depends on super moves...either way, they get their ass kicked fast

I take it you're not an anime fan. Or maybe you're thinking about hot in a sexual way, in that case yes I agree, if it's the former then I respect your opinion but have to disagree strongly.

You're never too old for Street Fighter.

And while the animation is fine, the story that video told and the characters it confirmed/introduced.....holy crap. I want. I want now.

Things we learned about this trailer:

Akuma has no cookie.
Ryu learned the Kamekameha at some point.
Akuma hates fireflies.
Akuma killed Ryu's mentor Pai mei.
Ken joins the Brawl! (Surprise)

Shen Long might be in this game (STFU EGM) and he might be badass and a Saiyan too.

That looks like it was done by studio pierrot (the guys who do naruto).

IMO, something along the lines of SFII-the movie or the Alpha movie would have been way better.

Gah!! The alpha movie sucked! Unless, of course, you like staring at groins or butts. Seriously, watch it again and count the number of times male and female neither regions take center or focal stage.

I hope the get Skip Stellrecht back to voice Ryu and Eddie Frierson to voice Ken. I hope Skip isn't too busy doing the voice of Might Guy from "Naruto". It would be cool to have them voice these characters again.

Or they can get Steve Blum for Ken, he did a pretty good job in Street Fighter Alpha.
