Super Street Fighter IV's brawlers getting new DLC outfits this fall

by Griffin McElroy on Jul 25th 2010 8:30PM

We wouldn't blame you for confusing yesterday's Street Fighter-focused Comic-Con panel for a wedding ceremony -- after all, it contained announcements of something old, something new, something borrowed (that is to say, fighters from Tekken) and ... well, Chun-Li's new outfit is blue, isn't it? Fine, the analogy doesn't quite work, but the fact remains: Series producer Yoshinori Ono revealed that all of Super Street Fighter IV's characters would receive new outfits in a DLC pack to be released this fall.

Kotaku caught an image of the slide showing off some of these new outfits, including a Catwoman-esque get-up for Cammy, and a nightmarish, open-chested leather suit for Rufus. Note that we're using "nightmarish" in the literal sense, here. As in: "We plan to have nightmares about this, possibly as soon as tonight."

DAMN BLANKA

SETTLE DOWN

More costumes make every single fighting game better, there are no exceptions to this rule.

And only $4.99 a pop!

Watch as these new costumes hide the fact that you have no idea how to focus attack cancel!

@Wiizer

What I'm wondering is at $4.99 a pop if they're already on the game disc.

Is blanka some sort of green Pit?

Is Rufus cosplaying as Veruca Salt??? :o

@Wiizer My first thoughts! (It's Violet Beauregarde btw)

And these costumes may not be already on the disc!

That or Capcom's playing a really long game here.

old news, 24hrs online is a year in the real world. i stopped being excited about this 23hrs ago, an hour after i read kotakus post

pick up the pace guys. i love joystiq.. dont make me read it on kotaku first.. please

@Red Son Rising *stabs*

@Red Son Rising Are you going to post this in every article? Stop wasting space.

@Red Son Rising
I pick my Pace up at walmart.

@RadiantViper
well at least its not rar

@RadiantViper
2 post does not equal everywhere. besides, it wasnt meant for you.. the stiq has been a lil slow as of late, im just crackin the whip a lil bit

@Red Son Rising

Hey dumbass, you see that little link under the story? Where it says "Source:"

Yeah, that's what I thought.

Dumbass.

@Red Son Rising I said, 'Are you going to' - future tense. And what wasn't meant for me? Stop making stupid posts, please.

@Captain Planet Planeteer Power
i read the source 23hrs earlier on kotaku

@RadiantViper
my original comment was directed @joystiq. i dont really care if its dv'd. these comments are not my regular forum.. i read news here, i dont care what 95% of you think.

if dv'ing me boosts your self esteem knock yerself out. yer never gonna get paid for policing stiq comments and being a jerk

@Red Son Rising

THE SOURCE IS KOTAKU YOU STUPID LITTLE MONKEY TURD.

You obviously have no idea how this site works.

Ridiculous! The sad thing is, thousands of people will spend good money on something so lame. They will spend money on something they never notice unless they arent playing or they are sitting on the character select screen.

But thats ok, as long as the crapcom big wigs get to eat at fine restraunts and drive 100,000 dollar cars around. Will they use that money to perhaps improve the netcode they use so that americans can play online against thier eastern counterparts? Of course not.

@Khazidhea Whoa dude, take a chill pill.

@Khazidhea

Alpha Chun-Li.

Your argument is null and void.

@Cypher FDP Then don't buy it, if people chose to purchase it, it is of there own accord, it's not like Capcom are forcing them to buy it - now that would be something to rant about.

@PipBoyV3

Everyone gets it. Your moronic reply is what every sucker that did pay for them says. Of course no one forces suckers to pay for it. But the people that are paying for it are letting these companys know that its ok to charge for shit that is on the disc. In a few years they will be charging you to unlock Ken and Ryu and whatever because of suckers like you.

@Khazidhea

They are definitely paying more thank 100k for cars bra. Capcom is the king of douchey DLC.

@Anticrawl
"They are definitely paying more thank 100k for cars bra."

. . . I honestly have no clue why you're suddenly talking about an expensive bra for a car. And who are "they" who would spend so much for one?

@Khazidhea I won't be buying it :/

@Cypher FDP

Alpha Chun Li should have been in wave 2, along with Alpha ryu and ken.

Cool, but I'd never buy them.

Fans have been loyal to capcom dispite the ripoff revolution they are starting with dlc, including with Resident Evil 5, Street Fighter 4, and now Super Street Fighter 4. Not being able to unlock these things through winning or playtime is highway robbery. I refuse to pay 5 bucks a pop for a costume pack * 6 * each version of the same game, especially when you are really paying for an unlock code for content that is already on the disc. It's like the Top In App Purchases on the IPhone: Pay $40 for the game. Then charge for micro purchases until you reach $80 per customer that wants to unlock the full game that is likely already on the disc. Brilliant actually, because not many would be suckered in if they had charged the full $65 in the beginning. I'm done paying for dlc for this game and will wait for the full dlc pack to go in sale for no more than $5. It may be a while, but I have plenty of good uses for that money, like buying discounted full games on amazon or steam. Don't be a sucker :P

Why is Cammy apparently Catwoman now?

Is it me or is Zangief... SANTA!

@PipBoyV3

No, he is Ded Moroz, giftbringer to good Sovi-RUSSIAN children!

@PipBoyV3 He looks like a Russian Monster Hunter to me

I got all 25 original costumes for 6.49. You don't have to pay 4.99 a pop- learn patience and get them discounted!

@Drew327

Im sorry, but even paying that much for something so lame makes you a sucker. Whatever though, its your money and if you feel like fattening the wallets of Ono (or whatever his name is) and other crapcom big wigs then by all means do it.

@Khazidhea

I bet your the sort buying XBL avatar clothes. ;)

@Faenix

Never. I think that is just as lame and sends the same message to microsft. There are so many suckers that are playing games now and these game companys are taking advantage of it. In the end they're in it to make money and they want yours. And they will get it.

The only way they get my money is when the put out a game or dlc that alters the gameplay. I would never spend my hard earned money on clothes/costumes for a game character.

@Faenix

Saying buying Avatar clothes is for suckers is the same thing as saying everyone who has ever purchased a screened t-shirt at a store is a chump. Silly point is silly. People will have what they have.

@Khazidhea I don't see it that way! The gameplay is awesome. I just hit 60 hours played in SSF4 and I love to see the new costumes. Robo-gief, come on! Playing people online, and constantly seeing an alternate costume and particular color scheme- believe it or not keeps the game a bit fresher!

I look at old games that couldn't do DLC 10 years ago, and if I could have paid a couple bucks to further modify a game I loved, I'm sure I would have!

Maybe if it was between costumes, and eating.... I would have something to think about. But I have a job!

@Anticrawl Not the same thing. Not even close.

@Faenix I bet you're the sort to put ;) at the end of your posts, to add an extra hint of douchebag. I'm sure you've never purchased anything silly in your entire life.

@Drew327

Who doesnt have a job? Its fine that you like to waste your money on stupid shit like this. What is not fine is that every time you do you're basically just sending these companys a letter saying "we gamers love having our wallets raped, can you do it some more?"

And no, having shit like this doesnt refresh a game. I play a lot of CvS2 and A3 and Ive been playing them for years and never once wished I could get new costumes for my characters because the game was getting stale.

anticrawl - thats a terrible comparison. People need clothes to help ward off the elemenents. Your game avatar needs it for what? So he looks nice for the few seconds you see him before your game starts?

I can understand these kids wanting to get the girly outfits because they are little balls of raging hormons and thats as close to a woman as they are gonna get for a while.

@Everyone Don't be jealous that their avatar looks cooler than yours!

@WINterfang

He looks like he's cosplaying as Bahamut from Final Fantasy X

@WINterfang I'd say he looks more Brazilian than ever!

@WINterfang

haters gonna hate

I'll save my money for an actual game.

Watching Cammy bounce around in a Catwoman outfit is hardly throwing money away.

OT: i only buy the ladies outfits and i dont see my girl CViper up there yet. cammy and chun li are a start tho

y'all don't realize who has the upper-hand in all this. we the industry. we got the power to dictate what really goes on.

this isn't DLC!
