Video: Street Fighter 4, played single-handedly

Can you pull off all of Ryu's trials in Street Fighter IV? Yes? Can you do them single-handedly? We think not! YouTube user biffotasty decided to give it a try, spending an hour "to see if it was doable." Trial 21 and 24 proved to be difficult, but thankfully -- for your entertainment -- "I realized that I was hardcore."

Super Street Fighter 4 arcade release will have new characters

GameSpaz — Sat, 21 Aug 2010 02:30:00 +0000

Assistant producer Tomoaki Ayano is hinting at the inclusion of at least one new character in the arcade release of Super Street Fighter IV. Well, we say "hinting," but these hints are delivered with all the subtlety of a Sonic Boom. In a post on the official development blog, Ayano points to a picture with the words "Here Comes New Challengers?!" and shares a screenshot from the arcade game, with an extra, mysterious character slot. Ayano said, "It looks like the arcade Super Street Fighter IV won't be ending with just a 100% port!!!"

If this were 1993, we'd be totally bummed, because an updated arcade Street Fighter game would have meant our home version was now obsolete, and we could look forward to spending another $70 on a cartridge in six months. These days, though, there's the possibility of DLC, so we'll save our dejection until we need it.

Street Fighter pros offering paid lessons over Xbox Live and PSN

GameSpaz — Mon, 09 Aug 2010 23:19:00 +0000

Let's face it: Nobody ever reached a professional level of Street Fighter superiority without the tutelage of their forefathers. Except ... well, except for the first people who were good at the game. Regardless, you can (probably) reach the upper echelon of Super Street Fighter IV players by signing up for a few lessons being offered by pros such as Justin Wong and Ryan "Gootecks" Gutierrez.

Of course, these lessons come at a price ranging from $40 to $50 for one hour of help, and are delivered over Xbox Live and PSN. If those prices sound reasonable, you can find more info how to sign up on EventHubs. Or, you could just give us $50, and we'll tell you to Hadouken over and over again until the fight is over. You can't go wrong with the Just Keep Hadoukening[TM] strategy!

More ‘sluggish’ sales plague Capcom financials

GameSpaz — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 15:42:00 +0000

Capcom experienced another "sluggish" performance in its latest financial quarter -- the first of Fiscal 2010, from April 1 to June 30 -- and consequently blamed slow growth of Lost Planet 2 sales, among other things. Net sales for the quarter were down 2.4 percent year-over-year at 19 million yen ($219 million) and net income dropped a dramatic 90 percent from last year to the tune of 213 million yen ($2.5 million).

Although titles like Super Street Fighter IV and Monster Hunter Frontier Online showed what Capcom calls "steady growth," LP2 and Monster Hunter Tri only sold at a "sluggish pace." The first two weeks of Ghost Trick sales were also met with disappointment, although the game premiered at number two in its first week of Japanese sales.

The Japanese publisher also lamented "shrinking" US and European markets "under the stagnating economy," as well as fluctuating exchange rates. Though sales across the board were lower than expected, Capcom considers its financial forecast for this fiscal year to be unaffected.

Ono: Super Street Fighter IV for 3DS won’t alter gameplay

GameSpaz — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 15:00:00 +0000

According to producer Yoshinori Ono, Super Street Fighter IV 3D Edition on the Nintendo 3DS won't offer radically different gameplay. In a Famitsu interview summarized by Andriasang, Ono assured fans that, among other things, the 3D visuals won't lead to 3D gameplay (turn to Tekken X Street Fighter for that.) "The gameplay will be the same as Super Street Fighter IV," he said.

There might be some additional control options, however. The article states that the team is considering mapping special attacks to the slide pad or touch screen. He also suggested that Capcom wants to use the system's wireless connectivity for both communication and gameplay, though he didn't specify whether he meant online or local wireless.

According to Famitsu, the game will have all 35 Super Street Fighter IV characters, and is currently 10 percent complete.

Super Street Fighter IV’s brawlers getting new DLC outfits this fall

GameSpaz — Mon, 26 Jul 2010 01:30:00 +0000

We wouldn't blame you for confusing yesterday's Street Fighter-focused Comic-Con panel for a wedding ceremony -- after all, it contained announcements of something old, something new, something borrowed (that is to say, fighters from Tekken) and ... well, Chun-Li's new outfit is blue, isn't it? Fine, the analogy doesn't quite work, but the fact remains: Series producer Yoshinori Ono revealed that all of Super Street Fighter IV's characters would receive new outfits in a DLC pack to be released this fall.

Kotaku caught an image of the slide showing off some of these new outfits, including a Catwoman-esque get-up for Cammy, and a nightmarish, open-chested leather suit for Rufus. Note that we're using "nightmarish" in the literal sense, here. As in: "We plan to have nightmares about this, possibly as soon as tonight."

Super Street Fighter IV Arcade changes could hit consoles via patch

GameSpaz — Tue, 13 Jul 2010 19:00:00 +0000

Capcom's Yoshinori Ono has been doing the press rounds talking about Super Street Fighter IV lately. The developer is planning to port the game to arcades and Ono implied during a Famitsu interview (via IGN) that any changes for the game's arcade release could make its way back into the console game. "If it's a tuning update similar to the June 15 update, I believe we'd be able to offer it for free," Ono said. "However, if it's the kind of update that adds new moves, it's possible that it could be paid."

Ono said something similar in an interview with the PlayStation community. "If we do make some changes to the arcade version, it is not impossible to apply the same changes to the PS3 version. However, as I can't get down to it yet, I have to ask you to wait for a while." What kind of things would you guys want to see in a patch?
