Capcom: Super Street Fighter IV will be the last Street Fighter IV

by Griffin McElroy on Apr 9th 2010 7:30PM

If your overactive imagination is already calling up fantasies of the next, next iteration of Street Fighter IV, you should reign that in right now. Producer Yoshinori Ono told Official Xbox Magazine (via CVG) he's "aware of the mistakes Capcom has made in the past" in relation to the numerous special editions past Street Fighter installments have received. He added, "Super Street Fighter IV should be the distinctive end" of the franchise's fourth chapter.

Capcom's not abandoning the title, though -- Ono said the company could ostensibly "upload a patch for Super Street Fighter IV 2011 edition that would have tuning and balancing." But as far as ever seeing Hyper Ultra Super Street Fighter 4: Turbo Tournament Edition EX: The New Challengers hit store shelves, Ono claims that "as a packaged product, I think this is the last."

Lies. Capcom needs money.

Which can easily be made on DLC

which can easily be made on disc

Lies. Capcom wants money.

Damn right, notice Ono said he THINKS it will be the last. -_-

And as a PACKAGED product. Ha.

Last Street Fighter 4, but watch out for Street Fighter Alpha 4...

Post pic caption: Orly?

Good I hope so. Glad I waited for this version to come out.

....until the next one
(fixed it)

So, no Super Street Fighter IV Turbo where they kick things into overdrive?

That'll be some DLC expansion.

Super Street Fighter 4...
4.5!

psssh, i don't like liars.. whatever capcom

unless they really plan on just doing DLC which is what they should of done in the first place

They say they changed the game too much to make it dlc.

true..but u kno wut i mean

I'm calling bullsh*t

Hahahaha!

Seriously though Capcom, April 1st was last Thursday so this isn't a joke so much as it's a lie.

Still waiting for Street Fight EX plus Alpha 3

Doctrine Dark, ftw!

i bet it will be called super street fighter 4 3d remix

I want to see this current graphics engine with the fighting engine from SFA3 Max(SFA4 maybe?). I'd throw money at Capcom for that!

sfa3 had a terrible fighting engine...

@inphinite

I know, right? You'd slam the button wanting it to throw a punch, and it'd just be all "vrrrrrooom I'm an engine!".

I guess I just like is fast?

it*

SFA3 had the best fighting engine of all the street fighters in my opinion, but then it's all subjective.

I loved the world tour mode for levelling up your characters too, and the tag team battles! Rawr

Just like your mom.

@inphinite [mike]

"sfa3 had a terrible fighting engine..."

By "terrible" you mean "best".
As in "Zero 3, that is a terrible mamma jamma!"

Other than X-Rolento's jab having ridiculous air priority over practically everything including supers, Zero 3 had so little that was abusable. The high damage Custom Combos from Zero 2 do not carry over to V-Ism since the characters do not automatically move forward. (Although I still do enjoy 50% chip damaging people with V-Vega using his charge roll repeatedly)

Sorry - Zero 3 is arguably the best SF game IMHO. The cast alone puts it in contention; then you add in 3 play styles and it's the icing on the cake.

Agreed. It would be an awesome sight to see.

or will it be the last??

That still leaves SFII open for a re-re-re-release/sequel. Perhaps, SSFIITHDR3D?

"That still leaves SFII open for a re-re-re-release/sequel. Perhaps, SSFIITHDR3D?"

you know its getting out of hand when people start trying to pronounce overly extensive acronyms very fast....

SSFIITHDRD3D = Sith dread?

We shall see young Skywalker...we shall see.

It'll be succeeded by Street Fighter 四

As a Spanish language student, I have no idea what the f!ck that is.

xLordOblivionx, As a spanish language student you should at least know what si means!

So can we have Street Fighter 3 on XBL then perty please?

Off topic, but when I saw your picture, my first thought wasn't "wow, hot chick"... It was "wow, Mikuru Beam." I just wanted to share that.

That's what they said about Resident Evil 4 exclusivity...

What I want to know is, its the DLC for SF4 also be compatible with SSF4? Because if not, then I know about someone who might get screwed by this (and not as in "getting laid")

so does this mean they finally have patch capability built into their game this time? I'll buy the game most definitely once the first patch comes out lol, or hits bargain bin, which ever first.

"I think this is the last"? THINK? Yeah, those words can be completely trusted. Just goes to show that when they inevitably release another version, consumers can't be upset with Yoshinori Ono because he honestly "thought" this was the last version.

While I'm glad to hear this as I've thought that they are going to milk this cow like they did with SFII, I hope they realize they need to make a whole new fighting game that is innovative. A nice mix of realism and fantasy fighting with injuries and such for added strategy.

capcom, seriously?? come on guys your a couple days late on that April fools joke... funny tho... had me laughing quite a bit there.

Highway Brawler Cuatro

There will be more.

Guys, this is their subtle way of announcing Street Fighter V!

BRING ON STREET FIGHTER V and SUPER STREET FIGHTER V

"as a packaged product, I think this is the last."
Well duh. They're just saying that SSF4 might be the last one to be packaged in a retail box. That doesn't mean they won't release Hyper Ultra Super Street Fighter 4: Turbo Tournament Edition EX: The New Challengers as a download only game. Words matter.

That's one creepy screenshot...
I've never seen a construction worker wearing a pink leopard-printed T and pink pink zebra pants!! Lol.
Also that helmet doesn't seem like it will protect him much in case of an accident since it's about 2 sizes below the guy's head.
And has the guy behind him got an eye-patch?

Only in Metro City, I guess...
