Honestly, I wasn't too excited for this just because they say it'll play like Street Fighter 2 when I prefer Street Fighter 3. But now, I'm actually really excited about it. Capcom is coming out with some great new shit that I just can't wait to play. RE5 and SF4 in particular. Next DMC5 will be announced and I'll just go up the wall. I kind of wish Capcom would bring back more of their classic greatness to modern day. But that it wishing too much.
I just had a thought about SF4. Maybe they should come out with a collector's edition that includes the soundtrack to SF4. I'd buy it. :D

Is anyone else led to believe that there will be a (proper) story line?
I hope so, with loads of history and insignificantly small details for people like me to obsess over *drool*.

Man this, RE5 and Megaman 9.

Speaking of Strider, word around the internet is that there is a new Strider game in the works and it will play kinda like DMC. But it's just a rumor. Would be great if it was true.
Final Fight awww good times. As long as it's not shitty like Street Wise. God, that game was horrid. Capcom does need another crossover game. Course they got that Tatsunoko vs. Capcom but apparently it's only Arcade and Wii.

This site looks really weird in IE at the moment. I'm not on my Mac so I can't tell if it's the site's problem, or just my computer.

Why don't you mention it's also coming for the PC? Also, all the previous videos were running on a PC, like the arcade version.

Is this gameplay footage from the console versions?
Cos it seems a bit pointless releasing a SFIV trailer in Japan when the arcade game has been out for ages.
That said, these guys have the best trailer editors! All games companies should hire these guys!

You may say what you want, but Max Payne 1 (2001), has better graphics than Street Fighter 4.

This game isn't relevant, for on June 27th, a fighting game that will last the ages was released. Of course I'm talking of teh Brawlz. It truly is a forever game.
SF, on the other hand, looks weary and full of decay. No amount of flashy video editing can change that fact. It looks inferior to the new KOF, less fun than that new VS series, and less chaotic than Guilty Gear, or Battle Fantasia. This is simply a nostalgia cash in, nothing more, and it makes me sick.
Keep failing Capcom.

What? dude, even Nando, who claimed that Brawl would keep him busy for months, barely plays it now...

what? first of all, all of those games that you mentioned are more "flashy" than Street Fighter...
As for as hype due to nostalgia goes, well, Brawl easily takes that crown.
SF has one of the most solid mechanics, it doesn't rely on combos as much as many other fighters out there, and has original yet memorable characters...

I don't speak to Nando online and, as much as I respect you, Noshino, I can't take your word for it. I'm sure he's a Brawlaholic.
Yes, Street Fighter has solid mechanics. We all have our copies of SF2: Alpha in the cupboard, but times hvae moved on. SF2, and it's offspring, were great back in the day, but that was then: it needs to bring more to the table.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but they're bringing it back to SF2, simplifying it. If so, then this will be inferior to Brawl. SF2 doesn't hold up any longer. Basic and boring is how I would describe it. There are already games that do simple fighting better, and Brawl sits atop the pile.
SF won't last on nostalgia alone. I'm even hearing reports that even VF5, yes that tired game, is taking more money in Japan in arcades than SF.

Nintendo did the impossible with Brawl. They turned Melee, the Gamecube's saving grace, into a boredom called Brawl.

sure, let's see if he answers here, also, sheppy can also tell you that that was what Nando said.
thing is, SF4 does bring more to the table, you just don't want to see it. see, what you think is that they are simplifying the mechanics alone, but that isn't true, they are just making it more accessible by making it simpler for the "casual" fighting gamers and complex enough for the hardcore.
Proof of that? They got rid of the "only for hardcore" Parry system and included the Focus attacks
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Street_Fighter_IV#Focus_Attacks
also, there is no comparison between this game and SF2 when it comes to mechanics, what Ono meant by bringing it back to SF2 was about accessibility.
Also, where did you find that info about VF5 gathering more money than SF4 at the arcades? please don't tell me you were comparing ltd numbers...

Now I would've loved if Brawl could last forever, but it can't.
The game is fun for the first month or two, but gets boring soon. The online play just killed the game.
Maybe if you have tons of hardcore gaming friends who play offline, then it can, but if if not...then the game will be dusted more than played. :(

1.This game is super ugly.(IMO)
2.Capcom just remade Street Fighter 2 with this ugly art style.
3.I don't like it all.
4.Hopefully next time Capcom will go the 2-d sprite route.
5.But that's not going to happen anytime soon. (years/never)

While your entitled to your own opinion, I humbly have to disagree. I think the game looks amazing,and I love the route they are taking with the art style.
It's about time I get a fighting game that looks different, if I wanted sprites, I'll grab my Melty Blood AA when it hits consoles.

Who cares if Fernando is playing Brawl every waking moment of his life?
I play it almost every day with friends both online and offline.
Brawl is definitely a fun game. I find it a vast improvement over Melee in a lot of ways. The only thing I don't like about Brawl is that they destroyed some of my favorite characters.
Like Ganondorf for instance.
Other than that though Brawl is a solid game so really all the haters need to get real. There's a huge amount of people playing it.

They killed two of my favorites: Marth and Ganondorf. Marth went from overpowered to meh, and Ganondorf went from overpowered to unusable. Kirby and Game and Watch were both improved, as Kirby (though my favorite Melee character) was definitely underpowered in Melee, and while Game and Watch was great, his mechanics were balanced even better.
Fortunately Ike replaced Marth in the overpowered department, and King Dedede replaced Ganondorf in the heavy hitter department

It's not a 'comeback' when the release dates of a few popular fighters happen to fall in the same couple of months.

this game will be AMAZING... assuming its anything like SF3:Third strike. Either way this is a day one purchase for me... the trailer sold me. lol... i feel like a demographic...

I doubt they can make a comeback, they are just not compatible with the current gaming enviorement of more intuitive and fluid games.
They still retain their old and mediocre mechanics and systems.
Most people simply wont understand it, smash a few bottons and get bored.

I've seen too much of this game over the past 4-6 months. So a new character pops up every other week. big deal. They need to show some new info on SSF2THDRemix, with some info on whether or not it's coming out this year.
