Super Street Fighter IV: Pics In Vid


It is 'only' an image gallery, but it's Super Street Fighter IV and that's enough justification.

An image gallery of epic proportions for the upcoming Super Street Fighter 4. Watch out for new stages, never-before-seen costumes, new rival battles, hints of unannounced characters, character art stills, and anime stills which are presumably from the ingame cutscenes. The release date for Super Street Fighter 4 is April 27th and April 30th in North America and Europe respectively.

Super Street Fighter IV is a forthcoming competitive fighting game currently being produced by Capcom. It is an updated version of/sequel to Street Fighter IV scheduled to be released for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 as a stand-alone product. Originally set to be released in Spring 2010, Capcom delayed the game to be released after its initial early April 2010 expected release.

The game is planned to feature ten additional characters, as well as tweaks and changes to the existing ones, such as new ultra combos. Among the added characters are T. Hawk and DeeJay, who were initially intended to be in the original Street Fighter IV but later dropped. Also revealed was Juri, an all new character, along with Adon from the original Street Fighter, and Cody and Guy from Final Fight, characters who were last featured in Street Fighter Alpha 3.

Also, each character now has an additional alternate costume (plus the downloadable ones from the first game, totalling 3 costumes for characters in Street Fighter IV and 2 for the newly introduced characters), new rival battles and 2 ultra combos. The ultra combos are selectable, akin to the Super Arts of Street Fighter III.

The game will feature a few additional online modes, including Team Battle with up to 8 players, Replay Channel, which allows players to view and save replays from around the world, and Endless Battle, in which the winner plays against a rotating group of players. The game also sees the return of the Car and Barrel Bonus Stages from the Street Fighter II series. A downloadable Tournament mode will also feature.

Proof of Super Street Fighter IV was first made public accidentally when the German version of GamePro magazine took pictures of Yoshinori Ono in which a game, supposedly Street Fighter IV, is seen featuring T. Hawk and a new logo with a big metallic S behind the Street Fighter logo, much like the Super Street Fighter II logo.

Having been deemed as too large an update to be deployed as DLC, the game was made into a stand-alone title, but is intended to carry a price tag lower than that of a full retail game. Capcom also hinted at bonus features for people who already own Street Fighter IV.
