Watch the Street Fighter IV opening cinema
73
In 10 days, the U.S. will receive Street Fighter IV. It's a game that needs no prefacing of any kind. We just thought that you might want to take a break with us and watch the completely awesome Japanese opening cinematic. Seriously, if you watch one video today, this should be it. It's way better than the last trailer we showed you. Akuma totally fights Gouken. You can find the video past the break.

It's the in game intro. If you see this the assumption is you already bought the game. There's plenty of movies, screens around. Hell, I, and I'm sure thousands of others, have played the game in arcades.

how did i get voted down? I can see being voted down because i may have been offensive or something i just hoped to see some screenshots in this trailer. Is that so bad to want to see some gameplay.
JohnHype where do you live? I'm in Cincinnati and haven't seen an arcade since the 90s. We got Dave and Busters and Gameworks but thats it. And 90% of the games there are sit down driving games, which are cool and all but that doesn't really count as an arcade.
Hell I remember in the arcade heydays when SF2 was first released and after school i would walk to the mall and stand in line for 30 minutes just to put my quarter in the slot and get my ass handed to me by some guy that really thought he is guile. then walk to the back to the line to get another play. One of my fondest memories is skipping school going to the arcade and seeing nooone playing sf2. I spent my entire paper route check that day in the arcade. good times

I still consider the Ryu vs Ken trailer the best one, though the second part of this one is pretty awesome.

Maybe it was just me but every time Sagat did his uppercut I liked to yell out, "Finger Up-Her-Butt"

Reusing footage multiple times in teh intro?
Seriously? Talk about shoddy.
Can't wait for the game itself tho, looks awesome.

Fucking amazing. Damn, I wish I could play fighting games well so I could buy this... (and I would hope they'd keep the song that I just heard in the non-Japan versions, too)

I remember my SF heyday back in '91-'93. I grew up in Hawaii, and I felt like "The World Warrior" for real, because not only would I got to different parts of the island of Oahu to test my mettle against that area's best players, then I joined the Army in '92 and got to lay the Hawaiian Punch down on fellow soldiers and civilians alike from all over the country.
I miss that flutter I'd get in my stomach everytime I'd walk into a new arcade and cruise up to the crowd that was obviously playing the only game that mattered. Sizing them up, them sizing me up, waiting for my turn, then finally unleashing the DRAGON ON THEM BITCHES!! DOOWAAAAH!!
*ahem*....good times.... ^_^

Seriously, Street Fighter is what created the Genre. Pay respects. I love SF.

Can't wait to play with Blanka. Been rocking the HD Remix, but I'm totally stoked for this. Played Alpha 2 & 3 to death and threatened the stability of my marriage with Capcom vs. SNK 2. HATED SF III (no Blanka), so I don't have the words for how badass this game is going to be. SF goes back to its roots. See you all online. First I'll pwn you with Blanka, then I'll punk you with Dan! Ha-ha!
