It's been 10 years since SFIII came out.

Been playing the hell out of SFIII: 3rd Strike and Capcom vs SNK 2 lately, I love the games but I am ready for a new one!! This is great news for all fans of 2D fighters!

Enjoy and discuss before I sick Honda on you!

About damn time..

WOW, great news! a sequel to the mack-daddy of 2d-fighting games (sorry KOF

) - i'm not really a player of sprite based fighters, having Tekken as my primary arcade pleasure, but it sure is nice to bring up another sequel to the fighting genre's greatest franchise.

Ask anyone who was at BotCon, ask them! My skills are legendary. :grin:

My fiance was beating people left and right.

Now...for SF picture time.

Not big on Street Fighter, but I love Marvel vs. Capcom 2. If the super moves are as easy to pull off in SF IV(unlike the annoying way they were pulled off in SF Alpha 3, the only SF game I have), then it'll be cool.

Regardless though, this is great news, and I'm looking foward to the game. Wasn't Fighting Evolution the last 2D Capcom fighter released?

So they finally make a game that has a number larger than 3?

Awesome.

My husband and I were just talking about this a couple hours ago, how they needed to redo this...that's insane.

Awesome, now, if only we can get another badass Street Fighter cartoon to go along with this.

Only because you didn't get to play me, bee-otch. :grin:

My SFA3 Zangief is untouchable. I wish that there was online SF, we could play all of the time!

That's the most geekasm-worthy trailer ever.

Also, every Hadoken should look like that.

Dude no way? My skills diminished ever since they took away the Third Strike machine away from Tilt. Well that and going to college.

Got to hand it to a man who can take the Koreans in Street Fighter. I'm still to afraid to take them on in StarCraft.

I finish up my base, they've already recreated Coruscant!

Nonetheless, I'm looking forward to a new installment! :CON:

Oh hell yeah. I only pray that the game is good and that it lives up to expectations. I need a good fighter, Guilty Gear has gotten a little to complicated for my tastes.

I saw this at work, and fairly soiled myself.

I really, really wanna know who's coming back apart from the obvious three (Akuma's a given IMO). I'll place bets on Chun-Li, but I really, really, really want to see Sagat and Vega (claw & mask, I don't use the JP names) come back. It would be great if we could get guys from III and Alpha. I hope they don't do what they did last go-around and eliminate 95% of the cast.

Shouldn't this be in the video game forum

But honestly, franchises like this piss me off.

There have been what 20 Street Fighter games since 3 and they are just now doing 4?(overexageration)

Ridiculous!

Same with GTA.

I'm excited for this obviously, but still, what's the point in giving them numbers anymore
