But this takes place after Street Fighter 2, correct?

You know, the game where Akuma killed Bison.

Yea...like alot of this is throwing me off. Maybe they should not have gone back to SFII. Then again...Akuma was from Super Street Fighter II, yes? Or was he in the original. Actually...would that even change the story much? Probably not, I don't know much about SF's storyline. Still...nice pics. Vega look great. Nice find Robo.

Where does the Alpha series fit in all this? Alpha 1 and 2 seemed like proper prequels to SFII but Alpha 3 came off as a bonafide fusion of all the titles and storylines, and pretty much in all the endings Bison DIES.

Alpha was always a prequel to Street Fighter 2, Ryu, Ken and Chun Li all being younger, Charlie being alive, and Cammy being with Shadaloo. Bison does die in SFA3, but his soul goes into Rose's body apparently, originally Cammy was mean't to be his future body, but she developed a soul. Bison had a new body made that was slimmer, and not swollen with Psycho Power, thus thinking it would nullify Akuma's Shun Goku Satsui, which deals damage based on the evil in someone's heart, and Psycho power is strengthened by the evil in the hearts of Bison's oponent (Capcom made this pretty complicated).

As for Bison being dead, Capcom have stated before that the Street Fighter story is more of a mythos rather than a canon, thus each game could be seen as an alternate universe.

Well, going by that explanation than I see no reason for Bison not to return for SFIV. He's a bonafide Sigma, that one.

But what if Bison did this again, with another victim (like Rose) at the end of SF2? Also, are we talking about Sigma from the Megaman series, Psxphile?

Yeah, Sigma was more or less a disembodied AI that came back in every Mega Man X sequel in a new body. That was the comparison I implied. If Bison's back after what was supposed to be a canon death, then it means he's jumped bodies again.

There a new final boss in town.

Meet Seth "The Puppet Master", who is the CEO of Shadowloo's weapons division S.I.N.

Oh Fei Long and Dan might join the cast too. It doesn't say if they are hidden or DLC characters.

Hmmm...Seth looks pretty sweet. Reminds me a good bit of Urien to be honest. Probably is a relation, I wouldn't be surprised. But Fei Long!!! Oh heck yes!!! Please make him be in this game!!! Considering the time frame of the game, why the heck wouldn't he be.

Edit: Hate to be the bearer of bad news[or good I suppose for PC gamers]. http://www.g4tv.com/thefeed/blog/post/685820/Streetfighter_IV_On_Xbox_360_PS3_and_PC.html?utm_source=g4tv&utm_medium=rssfeeds&utm_campaign=TheFeed

Fantastic if Fei and Dan are in, but I still want Cammy damnit!

The boss looks pretty cool, hopefully he'll be a devil of a boss without being too cheap (like a certain SNK trend).

As for it not being on Wii, were any of us expecting it to be? I wouldn't be surprised if they make up for it somehow, but I never believed this would be on Wii at all.

As for it being on PC then even better, I can use my PS2 pad instead of my 360 pad!

*raises hand* Yea man...I was optimistic. The Wii's got alot going for it right now, I figured Capcom would like to capitalize. Oh well! Boo!! But honestly...my guess is that boss there, is gonig to be mondo cheap. Just wait and see. I see an entirely new set of bad mouthed words that will be created, due to Seth.

My point is all things considered the Wii was likely not going to get SFIV any time soon. Sure it has a huge market, but very little outside of Nintendo's own titles have proven to be a success. What's more the graphical ability of the Wii would mean it would have to have a very scaled back version. I'm not saying it can't be done, but it was very unlikely they would, it'd cost too much money to port, and SFIV hadn't been given a budget as big as the main Capcom titles of today, due to the risk it had of flopping like SFIII. I think we're probably more likely to see Tatsunoko VS Capcom than SFIV as of right now, considering that game isn't looking to be anything the Wii can't handle.

Oh, and I don't think this guy has been posted here yet:

There's been footage of this guy around the net for a while, but this is his official unveiling...not that he met much praise.

Right, I hear ya man. I don't see why one would think the Wii couldn't handle SFIV[graphically]. What's so special about SFIV's as opposed to Brawl's or No More Heroes. I can understand Capcom's need to be cautious, this is a business and sells are everything. Honestly though, I can see this game going over very well in the arcades over home systems. At first atleast, but in time it'll start selling for 360 and PS3 for sure[maybe even PC ]. I mean yes I know the Wii is the weakest graphically out of the others, and i'm guessing Capcom doesn't have the time to tap into the Wii's full capabilities at the time being, so yea I don't blame them for not putting it on Wii. I still wish though. Haha, but like you said there's a possibility of that VS game coming to Wii, so here's hoping.

Now Rufus...why? He's going to be like Raiden from Fatal Fury or something? As for Seth...impressive, impressive. Intimidating for real. I certainly see a striking resemlance to Urien though...that bottom left corner pic and the one above it look just like Urien's moves. And that pose with the "chicken wing thumb" looks like Urien's pre-fight taunt thing. I'm betting Urien, Gill and Seth are all from the same place. Yep yep. Super pumped about this game though. I'm going to ask my local arcade how do they plan on going about getting new cabinets, because they need this one.

Each character features a lot of polygons, they've been modeled with a lot of detail before they added the stylised graphics, adding all the facial animations also.

Now I'm not saying the Wii can't get similar results by making it up with the stylising a la No More Heroes, but you're not likely to see characters of that detail in polygons on the Wii. Also don't think I'm saying the Wii can't look good either. 😛

IF SFVI does come to Wii, it'll likely be coming later on, after the game is out and getting some momentum.

As for Rufus, his design is rather surprising to be honest, I myself am impartial, I'm not fond of him, but I don't hate him. So long as he plays well then I'm happy, but I still want Cammy! 😛

Ahh yes polygon count. I always forget about that. So important, that is. Oh well if I get a PS3 it won't matter. But yes, Rufus...ummm no. He could be cool though...i'll have to see how he plays. But yea Cammy, I know man. Maybe she'll be in here. She's a pretty vital character afterall.

Indeed she is vital! Well, she's important to fans at least, as she's the second most popular SF lady after Chun Li.

Even if she doesn't make the arcade version, Ono has stated that more characters may appear in the home console releases, like Sakura and Ibuki (his examples), so I'm hoping we'll see a few more favourites from the SF universe.

Oh yea? 2nd favorite. Didn't know that. Awesome. Any idea if Cammy will be in that new Street Fighter Chun-Li movie? 😛 But more characters on the home console release is good news. Good news indeed.

A new trailer was shown at Captivate 08 showing off some of the new fighters but also the Shadowloo Bosses in action. And yes the announcer is annoying. Hopefully he won't be in the game.

The announcer reminds me of Capcom VS SNK 2's announcer, though not quite as good...

Still, the trailer is awesome, glad to hear Ryu's theme too!

It's fact now. God is a gamer. For this game to be in production, proves it. Gotta point out though...Ken getting owned by Rufus made me cry. =P And El Fuerte...was holding a frying pan, yes? Oh and I give you all permission to throw copies of bad games at me...I forgot Guile existed. >_< But I must say...i'm officially pumped for this stuff. Oh my gosh! Vega looked killer sweet. Balrog looked killer sweet. M. Bison of course is the equivalent of Omega bad-[you know the rest]. And that announcer gut does remind me of the "Mark of the Millenium 2001" guy. I didn't mind it though...I liked it to to tell you the truth. I gotta play this...like...NOW! *takes cap off to Capcom*

Hmmm...was this trailer not the one the producer was saying would be on the console versions to tell the story and whatnot of each character. Like...I don't think this a real one...just an example of what they'd look like. Either way it looks....fantastic. Thanks for this update Robo. I was about to get mad too, but Ken did show up. As for the timeframe of that sequence...it definitely went back to the SF Alpha days and i'd even say before that. But what did it go up to...not really sure. They looked alot like their SFA characters, but I suppose it could've been in the SFII timeline...maybe. =P As for Gouken, that's eerie. =O

I dunno if Gouken's alive or not, HS is right about it not going to be part of the game, but an example of what to expect, though I'd be surprised if they didn't include it somehow.

Sweet find Robo. Now that I think about it...I can't think of any other game where the players have spoken English...or is that just me? Sure Guile and Ken had sayings and stuff...but Ryu and them...no I don't think they usually spoke English. And those Super Combos...awesome. Oddly enough though...once you fill up all 4 of the bars...it's called Super then, isn't that Ultra? Maybe I missed something.

Oh and that other link.

*writes in his will that all his assets will belong to Capcom* Fei Long! Thank you gaming gods!

I'm still waiting for Cammy before I'm truly satisfied.

Also, Soul Calibur 2 and 3, as well as both KoF: Maximum Impact titles had English dubbing, as well as most anime fighters.

Ahh ok. See I haven't played those. But isn't this the first SF title to have English dubbing? As for Cammy...dude i'd love for her to be in this game, but it's not looking like it's going to work man. I believe C.Viper took her place...just from an American side this time. *shrugs*

Well, Yoshinori Ono has said to wait and see for more female fighters in the console version, as the 'sausage fest' complaints are still there, what's more Cammy and Sakura are too of the most demanded characters on the official forums, so I wouldn't put it past them.
