Street Fighter IV announced!

[Kais]

More info

The graphics aren't the way they are in the teaser that everyone watched. The game's still pretty, but it has nothing of that ink-splashing or anything. Art direction is interesting. Unlike all the other 3D fighters, SFIV is not meant to be photo realistic.

Street Fighter IV runs at 60 frames per second.

Street Fighter IV will have online play.

The game takes place after Super Street Fighter II Turbo and before SFIII. The good news is that the character roster will be made of many old-school brawlers and some entirely new ones. There are two new girls on the list. We will probably not see any SFIII characters.

The stage you saw at 1Up, if you didn't figure out, is Chun-Li's Stage from SF2.

The excellent Parry system form SFIII is gone. The new system seems to be called Saving or Revenge (we're not sure about the name). We don't know exactly how it works, but it's built around cancels. And we do know we'll have another gauge to activate the Saving/Revenge stuff, besides the usual Super Gauge.

Supers are there (although they didn't decide yet if it will be like in SSF2T or SFIII), and now they've put another moves called Ultras. These makes your character throws a auto combo with tons of moves. It's like a custom combo ... except by the custom part.

Shen Long may appear in the game. We are NOT kidding.

The consoles are not decided yet, really. But, assuming that SFIV will have online play, we can obviously think of Xbox 360 and PS3 (duh). It's very likely that we'll see an arcade version without online mode too, and our sources told us that Capcom could put some test machines in Japan arcades in Q2 next year.

[Correction]

3rd Strike in Super Battle Opera is getting more diverse. The players there are getting brave enough that they'll play characters other than Ken/Chun/Yun. You even see good Hugo players. And yes, even good Twelve players.

I've seen Yamazaki's Twelve and it's okay. Kind of dull to watch but he does win once in a while. Still waiting for someone to use characters like Elena/Sean/Ibuki in high-level play, though.

Wut? A new character named Shen Long? Because Gouken should be dead at that point in the storyline.

I think the game's look is pretty ugly, at least compared to previous Street Fighters. The few facts that are known aren't exactly very promising, but it is too early to tell.

Gotta agree with ya. Game looks pretty fugly.

[BRP]

On the bright side, at least it's confirmed for Wii!

[Viq]

Welp, looks like it'll be Kula/Gato/Random for a few years.

[Arachna]

I don't really like the look of it either, plus I'm disappointed they removed the parrying feature they used in SF3.

[Kaisha]

First thing that came to mind was "C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER" reading that.

Anyways, disappointed it's in full 3d, was really hoping for some stupidly fluid high-resolution traditionally animated fighters..., 3d just doesn't sit well with me in this series.

Well, there's always that SF2 HD for the 360 to look forward too.

[Tonko]

*sigh* Failure. Sad Tonko.

[Krandor]

Considering the stage in development the game is currently in, those screenshots seem more then alright to me. The difference in quality between that and the initial render of Ryu is pretty dramatic, I would imagine the Ken/Ryu ones are just rough models being used to test the engine out.

And removal of the Parry system sucks ): Lastly, anyone else find it funny that yet again this is a "prequel" like the Alpha series was? There seems to be such extreme opposition to actually making sequels in the Street Fighter series.

[Tonko]

You don't get better than 3rd strike. It just hasn't happened yet.

(I need to play more GG, I'll admit, it looks solid, but Street Fighter wise)

[Calais~]

I can't wait to try this out, but I miss the spritely goodness already. I (somehow) never really got in to Third Strike so the lack of parrying isn't the end of the world to me, but it still does suck quite a bit. Despite all that, I'm still 100% sure it's going to be a damned fun game! More and more hours of beating up my friends <3

[Mysterio]

I managed to snag them before they got brought down.

[Norelco]

The first of the 3 looks highly stylized but the last two are horrible.

[Yangsing]

Looks mediocre honestly

[Weltall]

Holy shit this game is ugly.

[Mysterio]

I don't think these screenies do it justice.

It's gonna look pretty cool.

[Weltall]

Let's hope so; right now, this game looks like Street Fighter 4: The Special Olympics

[Viq]

Who really cares about SF graphics? If the gameplay looks to be as 3D as it does in those screens, that's where the concern comes in. With KoF 11 being decent, and KoF '98 Ultimate Dream Match-a-thon (or whatever the title is now) not too far off, it might be time to jump ship and embrace infinites and low jump.
