Official Street Fighter IV Thread

[Spade]

It's Yun and Yang, the Lee twins from the Street Fighter III games. Ono put up pictures on his Twitter that confirm as much.

I'm starting to get really confused. First Ono says the sweet spot for a character roster is 35, but now, how many DLC's have we been teased with? Yun and Yang are in, he's been talking as if Poison from the Final Fight series is in, and he's pushed for R. Mika, Rolento, and Elena in the past. Not to mention that Hugo already has a rendered model. Now Seth Killian is talking about matchup issues with Gen in Super and there's talks of re-balancing characters for Super? Sounds like a lot more than new costumes and some DLC, like they initially hinted at.

 

[Nathan]

Or it's gonna be a new release called Hyper Street Fighter IV.

Just kidding. I'm actually looking forward to some DLC characters. I wouldn't mind some more Final Fight characters.

i have no idea how Yun can work in SSF4 without being TOTALLY different without any minimal resemblance to 3S Yun.

His super has to be his Super Art 3 from 3S (custom combo). A real custom combo unlike Juri's chain everything system

Yun is all about super offense. Defense is no option, because he had no tools for it. To change that basic fact would destroy him

 

[Tron Bonne]

What's all this about DLC characters and stuff? Did I miss something or are we just assuming this arcade stuff will come in DLC?

 

[Havok83]

Confirmed. Yun and Yang joining DFIV

[dodgers2213]

looks lke Yun and Yang both have their supers as the custom combo where everything juggles/chains/cancels. sounds good to me. Damage scaling will suck...and hopefully they build meter pretty quick. it wasnt uncommon to see Yun get 3 custom combos in a single round (but that is overkill...maybe 1.5-2 super bars per round)

 

[Spade]

Yun can do 50 to 60% of life bar damage off Genei-Jin in Arcade Edition, so I don't think damage will be a problem.

I'm more interested in Yang. A rekka character who can dive kick? XBL Kens dislike me now, but they'll hate me when AE comes to consoles.

[Nathan]

Pretty sweet looking.

 

[Havok83]

I hope they arent the only ones added. I wouldnt seeing Elena from SF3

 

[Nathan]

I personally would like to see Maki. I thought she was fun.

 

[javi1024]

so are they just for the arcade or will they eventually make there way to the consoles?

 

[dodgers2213]

Ono said they're thinking about it, or some such thing.

I wouldn't listen to anything he says. Capcom claimed SSF4 would not go to arcades and it has. This will go to consoles, but the question is when? hopefully not as long as next summer

 

[Sparta*]

yun and yang are way too boring and uninspired, ultras dont look great either

why cant they put in rolento, elena, sodom, birdie, eagle, alex, urien, hugo, or any of the other way better characters (even poison would have been way better)

 

[Brainiac 8]

Karin or bust.

 

[Tron Bonne]

Karin or bust.

Yep, I don't even know why they bothered putting Sakura in there to begin with if they weren't going to do Karin, too.

Sakura is more popular. She's been in more games and I dont think theres anyway Karin would have been placed over her

 

[louiebling$]

I want Sean

I didn't mean having one placed over the other, I meant they should be a package deal. If you're going to do you, the other should be there, or at least follow, or don't bother

 

[Havok83]

when have they ever been a packaged deal though? The only game Ive ever seen them in outside of SFA3 was Capcom Fighting Jam and she was mainly there to represent the Alpha side of things. Sakura has appeared in plenty of titles, and Karin was nowhere to be seen. Project Justice, Marvel VS series, Capcom vs SNK 1 &2, SNK vs Capcom:MM and I might be missing something else. They dont travel together and Karin is more than not a forgotten character, while Sakura has utilized quite a bit since her initial appearance. When I saw that Sakura was going to be in this, I never assumed Karin would bc its never worked like that. They arent linked like Ryu and Ken have been.

 

[Nathan]

I even had trouble to remember who Karin was again.

Haha exactly.

They haven't been around as long, but with SFA3, yes, I consider them linked exactly the same as Ryu and Ken; young, friendly rivals you enjoy trying to best one another when they can. I like that dynamic, and I don't really see much point in having one without the other. You can, sure, just like you can have Ryu and Ken separate, but I prefer they be together.

 

[Havok83]

blond school girl who appeared in SFA3. Her only other game was the abysmmal Capcom Fighting Jam/Evolution, which was Capcom's attempt at Mugen. She hasnt appeared in an original title since 2004.

 

[Nathan]

Their rivalry just doesn't seem to be as important as the one between Ryu and Ken. Also, Sakura has been around and on her own even without Karin. As long as you got Ryu, who she keeps following like a groupie, you don't really need Karin.
