The Super Street Fighter IV Discussion Thread (56k Beware!)

As most of us know, Super Street Fighter IV has been announced and will hit the stores in 2010 (probably Q3). Originally intended as DLC, it was later turned into a standalone game, since it would have been too much for a simple update. The retail price should be $39.90. Also, original Street Fighter IV owners will be entitled to a yet unspecified exclusive bonus feature.

The game will feature 8 new characters, of which 3 have already been confirmed and one has been rumored:

Juri: A Korean Tae Kwon Do fighter, Juri works as a spy for Seth's organization, S.I.N., and has a ki-boosting device implanted into her left eye, called the "Feng Shui Engine".

T Hawk: an old acquaintance for Street Fighter veterans, T Hawk made his first (and only) appearance in Super Street Fighter II. He's a more agile version of Zangief.

Dee Jay: also introduced in SSFII and later set aside, Dee Jay is a jamaican kickboxer capable of powerful roundhous kicks and rapid punches combos.

Another character is rumored to be a certain Hakan, described as a grappling arabic with an obsession for oil (now THAT's cryptic).

I found no info about any new game modes or major changes in the gameplay, so feels free to post them if you know more!

Also post your thoughts on what would be a nice new feature, were it ever added. I had a few ideas (again, these features are not in the game, just my ideas!):

1. Private tournament mode: being able to invite up to 16 players in a private lobby and set up a mini tournament with randomly chosen opponents.

2. Preferred character icon near player's name in lobbies.

3. Original music from Super Street Fighter II (obviously remixed)

4. Original backgrounds from Super Street Fighter II

5 No Gill (please :P )

Ok, now let's keep this thread going! Let the speculation begin!

There's already a Super Street Fighter IV thread around here that has been here longer than this thread. Please go to that thread instead. Thank you.

Juri sure has some big ole man hands on her. I think I'll wait for Super Street Fighter IV Turbo Edition.

I can't stand Seth in the original game. If he's still there as is and if the balance issues that plague SFIV still exist, I'm not interested.

We already have a Super Street Fighter IV topic as someone said. And it's IN-DE-STRUCTABLE!

I am excited to use Juri, another speed character. She might be interesting enough to replace Sakura but maybe not.

My comment addresses this topic, therefor constructive. ;)

Why is that thread too big? Because YOU deem it to be too big? The thread is just fine, and consists of more information on Super Street Fighter 4 than yours anyhow. If you'd like to hear my thoughts on Super Street Fighter 4, I will post them in the other topic.

That being said, I'll be joining Haterade in the original IN-DE-STRUCTIBLE thread if anyone wants to hear my thoughts. *headbangs*

Actually, the mods can close this based solely on the fact that there is already a similar topic in use. Doubling up on threads this way is against the ToS, smacks of attention-seeking, and could, conceivably, lead to more than just a locked thread.

This thread is redundant considering the other thread that's been going on for a while, plus T. Hawk and Dee Jay also showed up in Street Fighter Alpha 3, so this thread would have been locked anyway to keep false information from being spread.
