I think it's time for Ryu and Ken to go or to at least to step aside and return simply as secret or novelty characters anyway (Or even as bosses!). A grown up Sakura would be good to take the lead I think. Sean would be cool to see back for those that miss Ryu and Ken type characters. Maybe a grown up Makoto, Yun, Yang, Karen and Ibuki too. But the rest of the crew should have been new and varied.

IGN: Street Fighter IV (Street Fighter 4)

yeah I feel you dude.


cool thing is that Gouken(or his master you know the oldman that teached ryu/ken etc? maybe Gen to) is going to be in it. Feilong, Dan, Akuma the rest are all in it plus the new characters like Abel etc. there are already 20 `characters announced so I'm guessing there will be atleast 24(with luck 30 if they add oldies like Deejay/THawk/Cammy etc) characters because the developers said that they will add atleast 1 3rd strike character(so maybe Makoto is in this). the new boss seems to be a direct copy(move wise) of Urien/Gill....

shit is going to be multiplayer heaven.....

SSFII, oh man. Lost a lot of quarters on those arcade machines in the old days

Street Fighter is a classic.But I am not sure if it is a good idea to make a new version.The Street Fighter 3 was a tragedy with all those unknown and weak characters.But I hope my fellow brazillian Blanka appear that time.

Street Fighter Alpha II was my fave version. Looking forward to SF4 on the PS3, has anyone played the arcade version, what's it like?

Ahh man I used to love Street Fighter on the SNES. I had Street Fighter Turbo II and another game (I forget now) and used to play them a lot with my older and younger bro's, heck even my sisters got there ass handed to them when they bugged us to let them play it lol.

Brings back fond memories, I had every character and all thier moves learned off by heart and could pound guys with anyone almost always. Too bad that was years ago and I probly forgotten how to play by now.

Sweet games though and I am sure the new youth generation will appreciate them as much as we did when we were their age.

To the dude who posted this ^

I think I've seen your set up on shmups.com or Killercabs before? Very cool set up. Radiant Silvergun is an incredible game (but Ikaruga is better!).

As for Street Fighter 2, it's an all time classic. I was massivley into it on the SNES, but then moved on to Darkstalkers on the Saturn. I didn't really play it again until Street Fighter Zero 3 on the Playstation and then SFIII:3rd Strike on the PS2.

My favourite fighting games are:

Street Fighter 2 Turbo (SNES)
Street Fighter Zero 3 Upper (Naomi arcade/hidden version on SFZ Antholgy on PS2!)
Night Warriors - Darkstalkers Revenge (Saturn)
Garou - Mark of the Wolves (Neo Geo)
The Last Blade 1 & 2 (Neo Geo)

The Mortal Kombat series was just garbage. People only played it for the comedy shock value of the violence.

EDIT: By the way, Street FIghter 2 is still really popular in Japan. Check out this photo I took in HEY arcade, Akihabara in September of last year!

Oh I see...

I was under the impression that only 16 characters were going to be in it. The 8 original characters plus 4 bosses and then another 4 new characters. Crimson Viper, Paul, some really fat guy and someone else...

Well that sounds a lot better if you're right. Good that they're going to bring back at least one fighter from 3. I'm hoping Yun or Yang.

Just checked the official Street Fighter 4 site. I was right there are only 16 characters on that site.

The original 12 from Hyper fighting and 4 new characters

Abel- MMA fighter
El fuerte- Mexican wrestler
Crimson Viper- Cybernetic secret agent
Rufus- Overweight, American kung fu master (who hates Ken)

Anyway as I said before... dissapointing
