Rumor: Super Street Fighter IV unveiling tomorrow

by Griffin McElroy on Sep 28th 2009 11:51AM

Capcom recently launched one of the most nebulous video game teaser sites in recent history, hinting at an update for Street Fighter IV. All said site displays is a short video clip of what we believe is the music video for A-ha's "Take On Me" spliced together with footage of some sort of fluorescent fluid swirling lazily down a toilet drain. Also, a date and time: "2009.09.29. 17:00 JST." Whoa. Capcom's on Joystiq Standard Time, too?

Fortunately, French site JV247 has received a few purported, light-shedding screenshots from an anonymous source at Capcom. If legit, these screens reveal the existence of the oft-rumored Super Street Fighter IV -- a retail game (or perhaps just a DLC expansion) that will add at least two Street Fighter regulars to the game: Juri and T. Hawk (seen above). These screens look like the real deal, but details from the source are scant.

Stay tuned -- an official announcement is expected within the next 24 hours.

DLC would be welcoming if it SUPER

Aw, I wanted JULI. the actual JULI from alpha...There's too many shotos to pick from it'd be nice to have another cammy-like character but a bit different,

They should've made a chunli counterpart, another kick ass asian woman who focuses on looks to give us Chun li fans something to rage about and take pride in ^^

Well I hope that they add some speed choices to the update. I don't know about anyone else but I certainly don't like how slow SF4 is. Then need to up the speed by at least 1.5. They also need to give some of the existing characters some of their missing moves back (i.e. Rose) She's my favorite character and they dumbed her down for SF4. She was a hard character to play in the alpha games and she was even harder to get used to in SF4.

Also they need to stop adding wrestler type characters to these games. There's already too many in the roster and a lot of their moves (i.e. THawk) are incredibly cheap.

In my opinion Super Street Fighter 4 needs to have new moves (including supers), more varied characters and an option to up the game's speed. Hit those marks and I'll go buy a new disc.

Rose? Hard to play in Alpha? Unless you mean A3, then yeah. But she was braindead easy to use in A2 and in CFJ.

T. HAWK!!!!!!!???????... worst character ever in SF series?... so disapointed!!!!!!... they should ad SF III characters... like maybe ALEX... or YANG and YUN are great choice too... man.. i´m so disapointed...

Looks like it is confirmed: http://www.eventhubs.com/news/2009/sep/28/images-juri-and-t-hawk-super-sf4/

Gamespot has the details: http://tgs.gamespot.com/story/6230625/super-street-fighter-iv-impressions-first-look?tag=topslot;thumb;1

8 new characters, new disc, no DLC, upgrade/reduced price. Apparently there will be a happy surprise for those of us who still have our SFIV discs. Hooray happy surprises!
