SUPER SFIV

Not that we didn't see it coming, but an updated version of Street Fighter IV will be hitting consoles sometime next spring. For owners of the original game, the updates have unfortunately been deemed too significant for DLC, so I imagine that there will be fairly sizable gameplay tweaks in addition to the roster additions. Good news for anyone who managed to resist buying SFIV the first time around. Personally, I'll likely end up purchasing the game again because this installment features 100% more T. HAWK.





The other 2 confirmed characters are Dee Jay and newcomer Juri (who looks she'll be a lot of fun to play). Word is that there'll be a total of 8 additional fighters in the game, and considering that the SFII roster has now been exhausted with the inclusion of T. Hawk and Dee Jay, we'll most likely be seeing more Alpha/Zero characters and hopefully some from SFIII. If Capcom isn't too worried about taking a few liberties with the story and timelines, the inclusion of younger versions of Alex, Makoto and Ibuki would make me very, very happy.

damn, i did not see that one coming.

i wonder if they're just gonna remake the entire sf series. it'd be pretty cool to see more sf3 guys, or even the forgotten ex characters.
