Street Fighter 4 Announced!

Capcom teases their next major fighter.
By Patrick Klepek, 10/17/2007

As Capcom's media event gets started overseas, the company has already dropped one spectacularly major, but long awaited, announcement by revealing Street Fighter IV is currently in development. Capcom's community website has been counting down for over a week now, as gamers have speculated over what could be such a big deal.

The short teaser is nothing more than some Ryu and Ken stylized artwork of them fighting, with no word on what platforms the game is coming to or a projected release date. Clearly, Capcom is strictly teasing at this point.

Of all games, Street Fighter IV is probably worthy of such a countdown, considering Capcom released the original iteration of Street Fighter III back in 1997. A few months later came 2nd Impact: Giant Attack, which tweaked the gameplay and introduced two new characters, eventually followed up by 3rd Strike: Fight for the Future, bringing back Chun-Li and an addition four new characters, in 1999.

Unfortunately, we don't know anything more than that, and any impressions or announcements from the event are embargoed until later this week. Until then, let the speculation begin on what Capcom's bringing to the table in their latest numbered sequel in the Street Fighter series.

Street Fighter 4
Development has just begun and the release of the game is more than a year away. No platforms are yet confirmed - a highly stylised animated concept trailer of Ryu and Ken fighting was shown, but no game footage.

pics or it didnt happen

[Dragonfave723]

Oh Hell Yeah!!!! :)

[Arsenal]

I'm speechless.

[Weta]

... I am gobsmacked. Surely not. Surely there's some mistake. SURELY

[TrueSephiroth]

Please dude...are you fucking cock teasing me??? I've just read your article...but where can we access the video? Anytime soon? I want to see this shit go down.

If it really is Street Fighter IV...:pray::pray::pray:

[polarity]

lets wait till it shows up on more than one site

[4649]

.........................

pics or it didnt happen

fucking SECONDED. :annoy:

[AlphaDragoon02]

Uh huh. When it gets posted no more than one site (preferably Capcom's official one) then I might believe it.

[Biolink]

We shall see...

If it is true,they better not fucking remove Yun and Yang

[Shadow Ace 50]

I never thought Id live to see the day...

[PsychoSquall]

I need hard evidence before I will start running outside naked.

[Spoonz]

here we go again.

[Master Chibi]

I like how the capcom-unity site just went down.

ITS THE END OF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT

[krost]

I need hard evidence before I will start running outside naked.

Completely agree. :rofl:

[MeelJ]

I need hard evidence before I will start running outside naked.

lol

Shout out to you, for my avatar you made twenty years ago.

[AlphaDragoon02]

I like how the capcom-unity site just went down.

ITS THE END OF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT

:rofl:

Jeebus Chibi, you change avs like, every two seconds. XD

[4649]

holy shit capcom site is owned

[Mr_Punkus]

It's real. There's a press blackout at the london event, but expect the official announcement later on today.
We should be celebrating, this is what we have dreamed of all these years.

A new golden era of fighting has begun! Once again you must let your mighty fists shine!

[Marty]

Video required IMMEDIATELY.

[Weta]

Maybe there is a God after all....

[Master Chibi]

:rofl:

Jeebus Chibi, you change avs like, every two seconds. XD

what are you talking about

THERE ARE MORE PRESSING ISSUES AT HAND

I CANT JUMP FOR JOY AT WORK ITS AGAINST COMPANY POLICY

[AlphaDragoon02]

It's actually true?! Wow, props to Capcom. IF it's true.

[Shadow Ace 50]

I shall quote a passage from the book of BV

"I just came"

sf4........I.I..wow

[4649]

okay i refuse to believe this until i see hard evidence dammit, stop toying with me you bastards ;_;

[yungb254]

If this is true I hope it surpasses 3rd strike in every single way.

[Shinto]

Um no?

I'll wait till a reliable source has info.

[TrueSephiroth]

YES! Street Fighter 4!!!!!!! I'm going to go outside, run around naked and have sex with the first thing I see now.

[Master Chibi]

If this is true I hope it surpasses 3rd strike in every single way.

I hope people stop freaking playing 3S now.

[b4p]

this is so awesome

[Marty]

Yeah ok, we get it, you don't like 3s.

[Arsenal]

Now it begins... and I hope it plays nothing like 3rd Strike. If you want to play 3rd Strike, play 3rd Strike. I will never understand this mentality of, "OMG! It's has the words 'Street Fighter' in the title! It has to play exactly like [insert favorite game also with Street Fighter in the title]!!!"

I'll stop being negative; I'm overcome with joy.

[Rhythm1c]

I wonder if they will have an all new cast with very few returning fighters like what happened with the jump from sf2 > sf3

[Master Chibi]

Yeah ok, we get it, you don't like 3s.

what are you talking about

THERE ARE MORE PRESSING ISSUES AT HAND

WHERE ARE MY STREAMERS AND BALLOONS I NEED TO BUY A CAKE

[pc1x1]

lol SRK server is so going down soon

[TrueSephiroth]

Remove Parry, Make regular specials actually useful again, return back single button throw commands and I'm Game for SF 4! :tup:

Anyone on here have access to the video stated on the first post?????

[Dragonfave723]

Once school is over, SRK will crash!!!

[Biolink]

If it is true,the only returning characters I want are Ryu,Ken,Sagat(To finish off their final battle)Yun&Yang(Because they are cool designs and strong characters),Makoto(Because it will be interesting to see if she still looks like a boy if the game is timeskip),and Chun-Li(Because thisbitch is strong)

[Helter Skelter]

ATB_555 and myself, know someone who is at the show.
He mentioned getting videos on his camera phone. Hopefull, he will come through.

[Master Chibi]

So this is 100% true then? Can we seriously believe you fellas?

Can we? Like I'm ready to give up my first born son and shit.

[Lebowsk1]

Fuckin' A


:lovin::lovin::lovin::lovin::lovin::lovin::lovin:: lovin::lovin::lovin::lovin::lovin::lovin:

[MegamanXZero]

Holy crap !!! This is awesome, but I'll be wanting some solid proof first.

[Hatred Edge]

I refuse to believe this. Capcom isn't that faithful of a company to please people this much. And I want to see that vid. This doesn't even make sense. Why release a redone SF2 then announce there's a SF4 in the works? With a year between the two?

I'm up for a SF4 but this is too good to be true. That's like saying Xbox 360 and PS3 will have cross network online play. TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE.

[ShinRyuHoshi]

I had a strong feeling that capcom's website would crash before the countdown would hit zero. It's good to hear from other sources that SF4 has finally been announced.

I have "Street Fighter 2: The Animated Movie" playing on my TV to commemorate this moment we've been waiting toooo long for. It's a great nostalgic way to celebrate this historic day :karate:

Capcom can finally count to 4!!

-SRH-

[MrQuotes]

this game is gonna be awesome!

.....just like SF2:WW and SF3:NG :confused:

[Leebee Link]

Ryu better be fucking like... awakened after his Oro training

[Dragonfave723]

The sky is falling, folks...............:wasted::lovin:

[Biolink]

Who's going to develop this shit though?

STREET FIGHTER 3:3RD STRIKE TEAM ASSSSEMMMMBLLLLLEEEEEE!!!!!

[Arsenal]

this game is gonna be awesome!

.....just like SF2:WW and SF3:NG :confused:

SF2:WW, when it first came out, was quite good. Only if you compare it to other games in the SF2 series does it look/play badly.

[MrQuotes]

im just tryin to be teh fuuny

[.dub.]

I'm with Chibi... get me some balloons and a party hat THIS instant!

And an SF4 cake!

(I guessed the announcement would be SF4, quite cool that it actually is)

Man... I want to see this "highly stylised animated concept trailer of Ryu and Ken fighting"... where are your insiders when you need them :sad:

Further I hope (if it's Capcom Japan) making this game, that they don't listen to anyone whilst developing.
They got it right with SFII and they got it right with SF III. As Arsenal said. If peeps want the feeling of either SFII or SF III, go play those games. How fun would a rehash of either be? Give us something NEW!

[Arsenal]

*prays that it remains 2D*

[Shodokan123]

We're on oc48 here at school... and the capcom-unity site will not load... it's been loading for an hour.

[Zakuta]

-parry has been removed

Music to my ears!

8)

lol, anyway - good news for fite fans.

[TrueSephiroth]

Sorry for being a fanboy...but I would still want Chunli around...I know she doesn't have a storyline anymore, but still...she's the only real true female lead that I've only really liked in any fighting game.

I would really like to see Guile back...although I know storyline wise that would be impossible as well. However I wouldn't mind seeing Claw back.

Definetly Ryu, Ken, and Sagat, but I wouldn't mind Chunli, Claw and Guile, just me, hahahahahahaha.

I told my brother, he's actually going out to buy a cake right now, LMAO! We are going to fucking celebrate today, since where off from work for 3 days along with a few of our buddies.

SFIV Finally Has Come!!!

[parallaxscroll]

Holy F'ing Mother Of Gawd!

lots of great backgrounds with TONS of parallax scrolling, like the classic non-super SFII games , and unlike the SFIII games.

[Daidoji Kage]

Street Fighter 4 Real?



*prays that it remains 2D*

It could play like KOF MIRA and still be faithful...


Just, throwing that out there...:lovin:

[Manix25]

This assures another 10 years of Street Fighter goodness.Street Fighter will live on!:sweat:

[yungb254]

Please don't let this be an Arc Systems version of Street Fighter and bring Guile back. :wonder:

[blue's clues]

This news is super awesome.

[vegetta]

is this site real http://www.gamesradar.com/gb/xbox360/game/news/article.jsp?sectionId=1006&articleId=2007101714511031010&releaseId=20060321132945404017

[shoo]

im so excited i may vomit

[Arsenal]

It could play like KOF MIRA and still be faithful...


Just, throwing that out there...:lovin:

True, as long as the game is solid, I'll be happy. Capcom's good:bad ratio is in our favor for fighting games...

[HuStLeMaN17]

I Want Online!!!!

[polarity]

hahahaha if you think kofmira is a faithful conversion of kof then idk man youre retarded

[Leebee Link]

[Lebowsk1]

"Street Fighter 4 announced"

READ IT AND WEEP, PESSIMISTS

Of course this is really just the beginning. But I have faith in Capcom, they can do it. It may take until the third tweaking, but they'll do it!

[Dandy J]

If it is true, im going to church tomorrow and yelling suck it to the halo/gta/madden/ fanboys all over!!

[caleb1883]

Wow. Two things I hope for.

1) No Arc Systems development

2) No 3d

[Helter Skelter]

this game is gonna be awesome!

.....just like SF2:WW and SF3:NG :confused:
lol.

[thumbs_up]

God...everything is so slow here at school.

Ryu, Ken and Sagat are must-have in SFIV.
Ryu has been training with Oro.
Makoto has been training with Ryu.

Jeezusssssss I can't wait

[Leebee Link]

no its horrible

k i balieve u

[cain[e]]

Who's going to develop this shit though?

ARCSYSTEM WORKS ASSSSEMMMMBLLLLLEEEEEE!!!!!

fixed.

Also sean needs to be top-tier now.

[Arsenal]

If you don't like [insert game X here], but you do like [insert game Y here], go play game Y, and let others enjoy game X. Seriously.

But back to the incredible news... if they showed a trailer with Ryu and Ken in it, chances are Ryu and Ken will be in the actual game; that'll please both hardcore and casuals fans.

[Shodokan123]

I'm buying a cake, making a huge sign and playing SF all day in the most populated area on campus to celebrate!

Don't believe it untill it's on Capcom's site.

[MrQuotes]

i doubt we see many if at all characters from SF3
most of them were of the "who gives a shit" variety

[Master Chibi]

The current release date scheduled is more than a year away, which hopefully means we'll see it in time for the 2008 holiday season.

Sounds like they're hopeful for a console exclusive type of deal.

More of a deterence really, let's just get some proof, this thread has to EXPLODE in the next few hours. Shit is crazy already.

[Brooklyn]

..... i want to be a believer but i have too much baggage from previous disappointments.

[.dub.]

IMO Capcoms site is going to be pounded hard until at least tomorrow, with all the peeps trying to get confirmation of this news :sad:

[Demon Dash]

Meh, I'll wait for Capcom before I pull it out...

[HuStLeMaN17]

Anybody wanna take a guess about how many characters, before they officially announce it :)

[Dencore]

Oh my fucking God!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*head explodes!*

[cain[e]]

10 total

Because thats howmany arcsys seems to put in all their new fighters

[Shodokan123]

IMO Capcoms site is going to be pounded hard until at least tomorrow, with all the peeps trying to get confirmation of this news :sad:

it already wont load for me.

[thumbs_up]

I hope more than 10.

[shoo]

i hope its only for ps3 with no online play :)


and if 360 gets it i hope its a bad EO version with laggy online play [/hate]

[World Warrior]

I'm taking the rest of the day off from classes to celebrate, and everyone else on SRK should too unless they're fucking nerds. FINALLY, SFIV!!!!

[DieDeadDeath]

Anybody wanna take a guess about how many characters, before they officially announce it :)

9000!!!

[4649]

if the game is in fact real, i bet you one of the new characters will be a loli.

where the fuck are the pictures from the event

[.dub.]

I'm buying a cake, making a huge sign and playing SF all day in the most populated area on campus to celebrate!

That's just about the best idea I've heard all thread.

*skips off to his local arcade to do the same* (wearing my SF t-shirt)

[The Granby]

High/Low bet on how many views FGD gets.


Me? 400 views


Time based bet on how long it'll take capcoms main site to come back.

Me? Till Thursday lol

[Dencore]

Something tells me that this game will be console exclusive. :(

I can hunch it. :(

If it is I'll buy the system for it JUST for the game.

Even if it's arcade exclusive I'll just drive-out to what ever arcade has it every day.

[Daidoji Kage]

hahahaha if you think kofmira is a faithful conversion of kof then idk man youre retarded

Considering that all I said was if SF4 played in 3d, like MIRA does, then it still has the potenial to remain faithful to SF concepts, also considering that I've seen you add approximately nothing to any meaningful discussion of MI2 or MIRA, I'd say your opinion counts for exactly fuck nothing on the matter.

Since this is otherwise a fighting game holy day with the announcement, I won't say that though...

[b4p]

If you don't like [insert game X here], but you do like [insert game Y here], go play game Y, and let others enjoy game X. Seriously.

agreed. GTFO of this thread if you're going to be a hater.

[Shinto]

Something tells me that this game will be console exclusive. :(

I can hunch it. :(

I'm not believing it yet but I doubt a console only thing since Arcades are still big in Japan....

[tsukihimeblood]

I'm taking the rest of the day off from classes to celebrate, and everyone else on SRK should too unless they're fucking nerds. FINALLY, SFIV!!!!

i think you have that mixed up....
agreed regardless!

[Arsenal]

If it's console exclusive, that's make the most sense (business wise). If they were really smart, they'd try to get it released on as many platforms as possible, including the PS2. Don't know if PS2 will still be cranking out new games in winter of 2008/early 2009 though.

[spartan 3]

Gamesradar mysteriously took down their Gamer's Day information. Possibly due to Capcom's embargo. This pretty much confirms it should be real. The page still exists in their DB though.l:

I recall reading somwhere (the-magicbox.com maybe...) that ps2 will still be supported for a couple more years before it's totally dropped

[Barky]

why the parry hate?

I'm excited

[BBCampbell]

9000!!!

Not just 9000...

It..

it's...

IT'S OVER 9--[ARROWED]!!!

I dunno though, I'm skeptical.

True, Capcom makes a lot of good games, but rarely ever does Capcom make an SF game right the first time.

SF Alpha 1 and SF3:NG were both, while revolutionary at the time, mediocre fighters. Street Fighter 1 was outright garbage.

And while Street Fighter II: The World Warriors was outstanding for it's time, the game didn't hit it's stride until SF2 Turbo.


And hopefully I can maintain this facade of skepticism because I won't be disappointed again, Capcom. I won't!


Dammit, I'm practically peeing myself over here...

[Atb_555]

Later today hombres (from what I've been told)

[Nagi]

I went to Capcom's site and I do believe it is true. They have a linker posted about SF in the right corner of the screen right up under DMC and the Megaman link. I can not get to link because I do believe there are like a millions hits right now. I think it might be true!!!

[Commander]

IT BETTER HAVE BISON. COME BACK BISON! BISON!
BISON!

BISON!

We know you weren't really killed.

[J Musashi]

...I want to believe....doesn´t work though...

[Dencore]

I'm not believing it yet but I doubt a console only thing since Arcades are still big in Japan....

That's why I said console exclusive, meaning that only 1 of the 3 console would get it. :arazz:

[TrueSephiroth]

2-D FTW, come now, Capcom should know this shit and they should know it well. 2-D is the only way to make SF4 period. I'm so stoked (still waiting for my brother to return back with cake+drinks).

[Arsenal]

;4404145']I recall reading somwhere (the-magicbox.com maybe...) that ps2 will still be supported for a couple more years before it's totally dropped

Then if that's the case, SF4 should definitely make an appearance there. PS2 is owned by virutally every human being on the planet. If you want to sell a game, no matter how shitty or good, you put it on the PS2 and let the numbers work in your favor.

[SpinalBlood]

We want sagat back!

[Lebowsk1]

Anywhere sf4 goes...I'll go. I hope it's online too

Agreed. I've always said, the one thing that would sell me a console, ANY console, would be SFIV.

All we need now is the official announcement that it's going to be 2D...

i do agree that even if it is 3D it could work, I mean this is STREET FIGHTER FOUR we're talking about, so anything is possible

(oh and btw, the CUNT who said WW sucks needs to be taken outside and executed. That game re-defined fighting games you miserable sack of shit! quite trying to be the funnyman and get fucking sincere, argrgghhhh STREET FIGHTER IV!!!)

Agh I need a lie down, will check back later

[Master Chibi]

why the parry hate?

I'm excited

downback > foward

[Ultima]

I'm not entirely convinced YET, but getting there.

Not even gonna start the speculation on things. But assuming this is true, there's one overriding thought I want thought that I want the developers (whoever it may be) to know: Projectiles are important! (http://forums.shoryuken.com/archive/index.php/t-34752.html)

BTW, there would be nothing wrong with ASW making this. I doubt it (the previous rumour had Dimps as the developer), since they're woprking on Sengoku Basara X, but they have a good track record. Besides the various Guilty Gear games, don't forget: ASW contains people who worked on the Dark Stalker series, Samurai Shodown 1/2, and MOTW.

EDIT:

LOL Bad sentence and typos

[Aion]

Edit: woops

[4649]

holy shit

[HuStLeMaN17]

Trust me it wont be on ps2 lol

[10x]

lol at fgd having like 300 people in it.

[Atb_555]

Cos its a HD game

[polarity]

Kotaku announced it (http://kotaku.com/gaming/finally/street-fighter-4-confirmed-311856.php) but they cited the same site that originally broke the story. Still not a confirmation.

Happy Birthday, Shodokan

Ah, jesus, it better come out on 360 as well. I can't afford a PS3 for this shit.

[Shinto]

I need capcom's mouth.....

[XAQshinor]

ive never played a sf game seriously and even im excited for this :looney:

[Helter Skelter]

Stop whining. The event is still going, and it has only just been announced.

[Dencore]

Please oh please either.

A. Be on the Wii

B. Have the games be as popular and easy to find in the arcades as DDR

[Shodokan123]

Happy Birthday, Shodokan

Ah, jesus, it better come out on 360 as well. I can't afford a PS3 for this shit.

[Shodokan123]

1up.com announced that there will not be information/pictures/etc untill later this week.

and they are a pretty damn reliable source.

[Dandy J]

in before srk goin down

STREET FIGHTER 4 W00t

[World Warrior]

As "underground" and "niche" fighting games, specifically 2D fighting games, have become, I really am getting the impression from all of the anticipation from the different gaming news sites that a new SF game was something that was sorely wanted.

Words like "Finally!" as we're seeing today and the fact that SFIV was always the first thing that people thought to whenever Capcom announced an announcement. Which is good news because I still think the IP still carries with it a lot of prestige and respect from the greater gaming community.

[azis]

OOH MY GODDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD!!!!!


JESUS IS BACKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!


Oh I mean...


STREET FIGHTER 4!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[.dub.]

can anybody get us some visual recon?

Probably not for a while as this was announced at a press event (no public) and the organisers will have made sure that people only leave with the images they want them to leave with (if any) :]

[pc1x1]

in before srk goin down

STREET FIGHTER 4 W00t

Likewise, megaton, hard to believe, Sonic, now SF4, this is the best month in fighting game history in a long time :lovin::lovin::lovin::lovin::lovin::lovin::lovin:: lovin:

Happy belated birthday, Shodokan. I'm with you on buying a console just for this. :sweat:

[cain[e]]

Off to japanese and buddhism class. I hope SRK is still up when I get out

[HuStLeMaN17]

[Guregu]

Best news EVER!!!! Can't wait to see some visuals, even if its just a trailer.

[r3ko]

[Dencore]

downback > foward

What the fuck? People are already starting hate about this game already?

[Lebowsk1]

As "underground" and "niche" fighting games, specifically 2D fighting games, have become, I really am getting the impression from all of the anticipation from the different gaming news sites that a new SF game was something that was sorely wanted.

Words like "Finally!" as we're seeing today and the fact that SFIV was always the first thing that people thought to whenever Capcom announced an announcement. Which is good news because I still think the IP still carries with it a lot of prestige and respect from the greater gaming community.

You;re right. The world rap championships, australia division, has a reference to 3rd strike. Another rapper mentions dhalsim, another raging demon, anoth shoryuken... it's just a fucking LEGENDARY SERIES

Ok I'm going to Casino arcade, Goodge Street! Will check back here tonight, if it is even possible.

Oh and happy birthday Shodokan!

[Wellman]

Man if this fake, someone needs have their fingers broken and the video put up on YouTube.


My heart can't take another hit damn it.

[Jinrai]

The thought of Oro-trained Ryu actually happening made me change my pants.

[Biolink]

What the fuck?

[XAQshinor]

12 better be in this :|

[Helter Skelter]

Believe it

Aaah. The Golden Gunman.

1up is the most reliable source that has commented on the possible release of SF IV. So hopefully we'll get some confirmation from them, IGN or Capcom soon.

As Capcom's media event gets started overseas, the company has already dropped one spectacularly major, but long awaited, announcement by revealing Street Fighter IV is currently in development. Capcom's community website has been counting down for over a week now, as gamers have speculated over what could be such a big deal.

The short teaser is nothing more than some Ryu and Ken stylized artwork of them fighting, with no word on what platforms the game is coming to or a projected release date. Clearly, Capcom is strictly teasing at this point.

Of all games, Street Fighter IV is probably worthy of such a countdown, considering Capcom released the original iteration of Street Fighter III back in 1997. A few months later came 2nd Impact: Giant Attack, which tweaked the gameplay and introduced two new characters, eventually followed up by 3rd Strike: Fight for the Future, bringing back Chun-Li and an addition four new characters, in 1999.

Unfortunately, we don't know anything more than that, and any impressions or announcements from the event are embargoed until later this week. Until then, let the speculation begin on what Capcom's bringing to the table in their latest numbered sequel in the Street Fighter series.

I hope Capcom releases it for 360, Arcade, PS3 and somehow on the Wii. Spread the SF IV love around, you know what I'm saying?

[SuicidalGrandpa]

my bday was yesterday ^_^

but still

<puts 200$ bday money away so he can buy system it comes out for eventually>

Well then, belated birthday wish!

[Taskmaster]

Bring back Guile godammit.

Sakura, now with tittays too

[Alexstrife]

think of the endless possiblities...evo featurin g sf4 sponsored by capcom....sposnored 1000 buck prize pools for locals....it can make CS look like crap ( though due to cgs its crap already haha ) lol

[Daemos]

I've been on this road many times before on these forums, before I cum in my pants I need an official announcement. Hope to God this is true, this is probably the ONLY game that would sell me ANY console at any price.

But please, official announcement now! Here's my own 2 cents for wishful thinking, please more old characters, an even 40-60 or 50-50 of new and returning characters. I'm too much of a fan to say that I don't care about story as well, tie loose ends Capcom and move the characters forward with new and interesting plots ala SFA3.

Oh and Bison. :D

[thumbs_up]

The thought of Oro-trained Ryu actually happening made me change my pants.

HAhahahaha!
Ryu trained by oro is gonna kick some asses.

I'm dying right now.

[Khaotika!]

Q and Sagat better be in this.

[HuStLeMaN17]

Release Date: April 1st

[Sacr3D]

I can't believe it until I see Street Fighter 4 officially confirmed on Capcom's site. If its true then WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO !!!!!!!!!

Imagine if SF4 sucks though lol.

[Bobbypigo]

I need hard evidence before I will start running outside naked.

Here Here!

[Helter Skelter]

If this isn't in 2D thats bad news!!!

No it isn't.

[orochi1017]

This is so orgasmic. I only wonder what Capcom's site will show when it is back up! Thank you Capcom!

And not to try to take anything from Shodokan, but this happened to be my birthday.

[Leebee Link]

The thought of Oro-trained Ryu actually happening made me change my pants.

[lexicon of rage]

[Sinister Master]

If this is true...WOW :wow:

[Amazo]

Imagine if SF4 sucks though lol.

:sweat:

[Cowdisease]

There seems to be a media blackout regarding Gamer's Day. Expect visual confirmation later. Expect this game to be released on both PS3 and Xbox 360 with online play. And unless PSN shapes up within the next year, the 360 version will have the better online interface and rank tracking.

[Shodokan123]

happy bday, but did u make this wish?!?!?!?

[Ultima]

In not only before SRK crashes, but before the inevitable hate kicks in.

[Aion]

Hey ATB555, there was nothing wrong with my post =(

[TrueSephiroth]

I said this in so many other sites, and I'll say it again, I stated that when SFIV ever gets announced, it's going to rip across the gaming world. Lord and Behold, that's going about right now. I'm not surprised, finally, screw FFXIII, screw MGS4, screw Tekken6, screw GranTurismo, it's about about Street Fighter IV now!

[R | C]

:looney:

I like where this is going.
Can't wait for an official announcement.

This better not end up being the biggest prank ever.

*checks calendar

Good, it's not April.

[HuStLeMaN17]

No it isn't.

Lol you wanna play SF in 3D????

[Bacardi]

my life was looking bleak lately, and well I was thinking about killing myself. But now I have something to live for

[tsukihimeblood]

I need hard evidence before I will start running outside naked.
the announcement gave me enough "hard" evidence by itself!

[Angelic Diablo]

its okay.. SF4 CE will fix it all.. and if that doesnt... well yknow how capcom rolls
:rofl: Couldn't have said it better. It'll be tournament worthy in about 6 years. :rofl:

[Shodokan123]

[Lebowsk1]

No, DONT imagine if SFIV sucks, Maybe all those new-age dicks are right and what we think influences the world in some fucked-up way.

Imagine SFIV being REALLY DOPE instead

[MrWizard]

Spoiler Alert

you're offically allowed to run through a field of daisies now, with a litter of kittens / puppies (your choice) following you merrily all the while

[Shinto]

I don't know what to believe anymore :confused: SRK got it's own SF4 section....but capcom hasn't announced anything yet.....

[Arsenal]

The anticipation for SF4 has been building for a long time now. This news will make the anticipation even greater, more intense. Capcom REALLY has to hit it out of the park on the first swing to satisfy the expectations of the hardcore and even casual fan.

[sbw]

I dont know if I can wait a year... I might be dead in a year! :shake:

[Raph_Stryker]

wow, this is great news. Im out of hype though, cuz last week really drained me. Its about time too.

Im not sure the internet can handle this anymore, last week the world destroyed the smash bros site, and now its capcom's turn to get its bandwith stomped into the ground.

let EVEN MORE speculation begin! :D

[Crowd_Pleaser]

I need video evidence or capcom's word!!!

[tataki]

I said last night right before it turned to the 17th... "if sf 4 is announced this will be the best bday ever"

woot @ bday wishes.

for your next birthday make a wish that i get 10000000000$



then in the next you can ask for world peace and no more hunger and stuff.

for some reason i'm not really excited about this.

o wait its cuz I WANT PICS!!

[Khaotika!]

Hrmm...beats in my head?

Hell yes. Even that. <3 whole GD soundtrack.

Sorry dude I was just being cautious about reference. :sweat:

[Ryu1999]

Also while on the subject of wants: Soundtrack like 3S PLEASE. :lovin:

No thanks. Reworked classic SF2 themes for the older chars pls

[caleb1883]

did anyone even notice in all this, that ST Remix has been delayed?

[Aion]

I want udon art
Seconded.

[MrWizard]

ill confirm it since capcom cant buy enough bandwidth.

Street Fighter 4, coming in 2008!

[ST Vega]

SF4 will suck for the first game. They never get it right on the first one.

That doesn't change the fact that I woke up, saw it, changed my msn message, texted people, and have been telling everyone within earshot that SF4 is coming, and this is a Holy day.

If it doesn't have Vega, I'll personally see to it that Capcom gets taken the fuck out.

[Shin Sho-oh-ken]

C'mon Sakura!!!! She should be legal now.

[HAMMER FRENZY]

My ass just exploded.

[Shodokan123]

Sf4 will outshine SSB:B... bet it.

[orochizoolander]

As long as it's in 2D i'm hype...




HYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYPPPE!!!!!!!!




WHERE THE FUCK IS THIS CONCEPT TRAILER THE OP POSTED ABOUT? N IS ST REMIX REALLY COMING OUT IN 08 NOW?

[Diek Stiekem]

*Squeals like a teenage girl over pop idol*

This can't be happening.... we need proof dammit

[fatboy]

ill confirm it since capcom cant buy enough bandwidth.

Street Fighter 4, coming in 2008!

Yeah! She (my source) was right on!

[caliagent#3]

It's a new SF game. It's been in development since 2005

*yawn*

[Shadow Ace 50]

Ill use this time to advertise super smash bros. brawl coming in feburary!! you can play that and then when the sacred time comes SF4 will already be here!!

Sf4 outbeating brawl?.....maybe not but sf4 will be epic

[Shinto]

ill confirm it since capcom cant buy enough bandwidth.

Street Fighter 4, coming in 2008!

Done. and DONE.

:party::party::party::party::party:

[Khaotika!]

Most users online record broken, lol.

[Atb_555]

OMG SRK has dedicated a section to SF4.

If people are still sceptical then......:looney:

[Aion]

Sorry dude I was just being cautious about reference. :sweat:
Nah it's ok, everyone ignored it anyway, even though it was an official confirmation :rofl:

[Lvl.3]

Look at everyone get excited, but the main question is who is developing it? If it's not the previous teams that worked on 3rd Strike,A3, or ST... and if it goes 3d staring the likes of Billy and Jimmy Dragon, not interested :P.

[Taskmaster]

So...who's gonna get drunk outta their minds this evening ( it's already evening here :wgrin: )

Damn Wiz for knowing and noit telling.

Could this be a sign of Capcom actually giving a fuck?

[ShinRyuHoshi]

Do you think Daigo will come out of retirement for this game?

-SRH-

[SoSDaGraySole]

kool

[coco_j]

No fucking way. Just, no fucking way. I'm... on my god.... I'm so... HAPPY!

Holy fuckin moses on a prostitute!

-SRH-

:rofl:

[alphagod]

C'mon Sakura!!!! She should be legal now.

Yeah she better be in the game otherwise ... capcom must die.

[Kamui]

Wasn't it obvious?

lol @ wiz... jesus christ you knew this all along?

[Daigo Jr]

if this IS true, it better make history.
or i'll bomb myself

[Robust]

SF4 has been out for years. Mike Watson is the final boss.

[Sage]

Eat shit non-believers.

Was I the only one who made money on this? (sorry smoothcat)
