We thought the
Haggar billboard and Metro City license plate in the new
car-smashing bonus stage would be the only
Final Fight nods in
Super Street Fighter IV.
Scans from Famitsu show that
Final Fight's two shirt-wearing protagonists, Cody and Guy, will appear as playable fighters in the game. The appearance of Adon, along with Cody's striped prison getup, means that the fighters are appearing in their
Street Fighter Alpha incarnations. Well, those clues and the heading on the article saying that the three characters are from that series.
A sidebar in Famitsu shows Guy parrying a kunai, suggesting that
Street Fighter III favorite Ibuki might be joining the fight as well. You remember
Street Fighter III, right?
[Thanks, Richard 2.6!]

Now I get to throw rocks as an inmate! Sweet.
TypeF @ Nov 24th 2009 2:51PM
I guess none of the SF3 chars will be in the game. all alphas and sf2 + new chars. Next we'll see evil ryu then it'll be another ryu char fetish lol
I Are ODST @ Nov 24th 2009 11:22AM

I swear, Cody & Guy = WIN. No wonder they put the Final Fight car smashing bonus stage in.
It's official: I'm getting this again. Dammit!!
Granger @ Nov 24th 2009 11:26AM
This version is becoming more and more desirable. Guy is my favorite SFA character, hope he can still jump off walls in IV.
Medina @ Nov 24th 2009 12:29PM
No, you're thinking of Eagle.
Rollins @ Nov 24th 2009 11:37AM
Ibuki = instant purchase for me. Not that I like her or anything.
Bjork @ Nov 24th 2009 11:41AM
Actually, it's Guy who parries the kunai, not Cody. Not that it particularly matters, since all four chars returning to the SF Universe is still awesome!
Hakaisou @ Nov 24th 2009 1:43PM
Final Fight always was part of the Street Fighter universe
Deadpool @ Nov 24th 2009 4:09PM
Rival Schools, Saturday Night Slammasters/Muscle Bomber and Final Fight all fit into the Street Fighter universe.
Liquid man @ Nov 24th 2009 6:37PM
I miss Rival Schools =(
Bjork @ Nov 24th 2009 7:31PM
Ibuki was always in the SF universe too, but what I meant was that they're all returning into a new reiteration of the same universe, which they were all absent from last time (SF4, obviously).
GiggMan @ Nov 24th 2009 11:41AM
Capcom is seriously gonna make me by this game.
Greenwave @ Nov 24th 2009 11:42AM
All I want is Ibuki and Makoto

Somehow, the information in that article is turning out to be true as time goes on. Here's hoping all of it ends in this version. And if that's the case, we'll be seeing those girls in the game, along with the #1 boxer in the history of gaming: Dudley!
(Because Balrog has no dignity.)
Darkwun @ Nov 24th 2009 11:45AM
Now i know Guy is here its time to preorder as soon as it's available.....flippin Capcom trying to take all my money lol
Jtenma @ Nov 24th 2009 11:47AM

Loren @ Nov 24th 2009 12:11PM
I will probably pass on this version only because I will be looking forward to picking up the following year's "Super Street Fighter IV Tournament Turbo Championship Alpha Edition ."
By this version they should have every fighter from the Capcom universe and hopefully by the time this game comes out Seth won't be an SOB
Hakaisou @ Nov 24th 2009 1:45PM
Seth will always be an SOB, just like Gill before him.
Martin @ Nov 24th 2009 12:03PM
If so, it was probably unintentional. Check out the clothes.
Martin @ Nov 24th 2009 12:05PM
This definitely makes me more interested in picking up the game when it comes out. I do wish they would port SFA3 to XBLA though.
Phix @ Nov 24th 2009 12:28PM
Yeeeeah, I don't regret trading in Street Fighter IV the second Super Street Fighter IV was announced now.
cede @ Nov 24th 2009 12:49PM
Capcom,
Just add EVERBODY.
Thanks,
CEDE
cede @ Nov 24th 2009 12:50PM
P.S. I meant everybody.
Platy @ Nov 24th 2009 3:50PM
"Everybody" in the meaning of
1-"Even the arika guys from EXplus"
2-"Even the fighting versions of that undegrround 'Final Fight' fighting game"
or
3-"Even the non-streetfighter ones like ... trow some powerstone dudes there !"
?
WiNG [XBL&Steam: WiNGSPANTT] from lifeinagame.com @ Nov 24th 2009 1:06PM
Ibuki's great and all, but where is DUDLEY?
I don't have time for guttertrash!
Dance Mofo @ Nov 24th 2009 1:43PM
man, i love Dudley's theme music
BunnySlapper @ Nov 24th 2009 1:09PM
Someone should tell that guy that it's VERTICAL stripes that make you look thinner.
CellNecrosis @ Nov 24th 2009 1:07PM
Yay! Adon was my favorite "new" character of the Alpha series.
CJLopez @ Nov 24th 2009 2:06PM
good thing you quoted "new", as he aint that "new", xDDDDDD
he was a bitch in fighter street
Stevetrop @ Nov 24th 2009 1:25PM
Yea your thinking of eagle. I wouldn't mind him being in the game though I could be pretty ruthless with him in Capcom Vs Snk 2. Now if only they were wiling to include Maki and Rolento they I would be in hog heaven
Crayfish @ Nov 24th 2009 1:28PM
More SFIII characters will definitely get my wallet tingling.
Crusty Magic @ Nov 24th 2009 1:30PM
Cool, but get rid of Seth or make him an unbroken boss to fight.
I was replaying IV last night, and I stopped playing at the end because Seth is such a horrible character to fight against.
Dance Mofo @ Nov 24th 2009 1:44PM
Seth, from what I heard, will return but will be more cheap. so be ready
Crusty Magic @ Nov 24th 2009 1:47PM
Well I won't be buying it.
yyr @ Nov 24th 2009 5:05PM
Who cares if the last boss is broken or not?
1) who plays 1P mode anyway (after unlocking if necessary)?
2) it's the last fight. The game is over whether you win or lose. Why does it matter if it's hard to win?
Crusty Magic @ Nov 24th 2009 5:19PM
Wow what a tool.
I play arcade mode, because guess what? I like it.
And it frustrates me that Capcom thought it would be fun to give players a boss to fight against that completely breaks the conventions of the game.
drew @ Nov 24th 2009 5:34PM
I hate to break it to you, but you're in the minority. Most players will get this for the multiplayer action and this game was actually built for them in mind. (Character balancing, new online multiplayer modes, etc)
And seeing as Capcom (I believe) stated that they have everything unlocked out of the box AND would make Seth cheaper, I don't see anyone even thinking of playing the single player mode.
Crusty Magic @ Nov 24th 2009 5:37PM
Regardless if I'm voicing a minority opinion, there isn't any justification to keep a character like that in the game.
It's just stupid.
Richard 2.6 @ Nov 24th 2009 10:06PM
The justification is a) no matter what he will remain as a Versus character since there's absolutely no reason to remove him from there and it would piss off a lot of people that main him if they did, and b) like drew said, people that buy fighting games for the single player are in the minority, so Capcom obviously isn't going to devote some of time they have on a brand new boss-type character just for that reason.
Spartan [Planeteer | Power of Sunshine & Lollipops] @ Nov 24th 2009 1:43PM
I can has some SF Alpha 4?
plz?
Shattercross @ Nov 24th 2009 1:46PM
You would think an escaped convict would take off his prison garb after so many years...
lets see:
alpha series -
sf 2 series -
sf 4 -
sf 3 series
So Cody has been wearing his prison garb for maybe two years since he escaped?
PUT THE TSHIRT AND JEANS BACK ON, BRO.
