Super Street Fighter 4 Arcade Edition's 'Ver. 2012' patch in extreme detail

by JC Fletcher on Dec 2nd 2011 9:28AM

Super Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition's "Ver. 2012" patch will be available December 13, adding some much-needed length to the game's word-deficient title. But it's not just a title update (get it)!

Capcom released the final version of its changelog, laying out every single alteration to every move in every character's arsenal. For example, E. Honda's light Sumo Headbutt now makes his "upper body totally invincible from start until 14th frame."

If you'd rather see some of the changes for yourself, set to the ever-thrilling Street Fighter IV theme, the above video is for you.

Capcom Providing a Street Fighter update... for free? Savory this moment.

@cwinters2k8 I think it's kind of sweet.

@cwinters2k8 Christmas came early this year!

Is this free? You never know with Capcom, this COULD be a brand new retail version.

@Gibbeynator

It's a free update because it only addresses balance issues, not stupid DLC stuff.

@Gibbeynator

Yes, it's completely free, shocking isn't it?

I loled when they showed the "buff" for Yun, but they don't show the crazy nerfs he got.

Much needed nerfs anyway. A buttload of Yuns in top 10 Japan players = OP character.

Haha, the ending
Looks like Yun's reign of terror is over

Balance changes are all well and good but Vega still seems terrible...=( my poor Vega...

"E. Honda's light Sumo Headbutt now makes his "upper body totally invincible from start until 14th frame.'"

Aaaaand that sentence all but sums up why I can't play fighting games anymore (though for some dumb reason, I still keep buying them.)

This isn't even CLOSE to "extreme detail." This only details a single buff for about half the characters (and one nerf!).

Now THIS is extreme detail.

@Wilynumber13

Yeah...that sheet of detail just spells "fun".

Just a heads up, they're selling this game for $20 new at Gamestop online, and in-store.

@mywhitenoise

They probably think the 2012 update is a new SKU and are trying to offload SF4 version 3 as quickly as possible.

I can't fathom why they'd get that impression.

I still await the Ken("Kevin") alternate costume from his SF2010 NES game. ;D

Since Capcom is having a sale on xbla I wonder why they didn't put up SIV:AE on sale.

@bargaingamer

BARGAIN AHOY!

Waiting for Capcom to come and say, we´re sorry, but this update can not be done via DLC, so we´re anouncing Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition Dash.

As if Akuma wasnt weak enough as it is!

Ahh, gotta love counting frames.

Why are the AE videos dimmer and have lower contrast than the 2012 videos next to them....reminds of the 'before and after' face shots where the after are always smiling with the flash....look closly and the 'before' are better.

Can't wait for Iori of the Flame.

@Trilancer

marketing trickery, make you think the "new one" is way better then it actually is. ;D

Holy shit for free? The world really is going to end
