In a bit of a shocking rumor, the staff of Arcadeinfinity (the famous arcade place known to host some the best sf4 tournament) have posted, through their twitter account, the following statement:

“ Super Street Fighter 4 upgrade coming to arcades, at least before the console release.”

Could this really happen? the first rumor that had the leaked ssf4 details stated an arcade release before console, however capcom still says that they haven’t even decided if they will release an arcade version or not. Could this be the big announcement that Shizowa promised to make next friday ?

What do you guys think?

In its newly released strategic goals for this fiscal year, Capcom expects to sell 1.1 Million unit of Super Street Fighter IV.

This confirms that SSF4 is coming sometimes before March 31st 2010 where this fiscal year ends and probably couple weeks at least, since i don’t think the game will sell 1.1M in a week.

I am hoping that us fans will prove capcom wrong and make SSF4 sells way more than the expected number in its first weeks.

Hello there folks!

you must have noticed a new link added above that says “forums”. Clicking that link will directly take you to the newly launched hadoken network forums where you can discuss everything that is related to Street Fighter, from games to crappy movies.

The design of the forums is still in beta so the look might change with time and so is the banner. I am having some tough time modifying the look with my limited programming knowledge so bare with me plz :p

So, please, make sure to register and post and discuss on the new Hadoken Network’s forums and enjoy!

Developer blog no.4

* Juri, part 1 (moves and abilities)

It’s been a week. Tsukamoto here.

Today, we’ll give you some long-awaited insider info on the birth of new character Juri, and some of her moves and abilities. So without any further ado, let’s hear what our busy director Okada and our Battle Planner have to say! Let’s see if they can put you fans at ease…

-First off, Mr. Tamamura will be our guest today, so please give a short introduction.

Tamamura:
My name is Tamamura, and I’m the Battle Planner.

I’m in charge of today’s subject Juri, as well as the other characters. A lot of my work revolves around data implementation and balance tweaking. Around the office, they call me… the mail order guy. Basically, I never have time to receive stuff at home, so I always have it sent to the office instead. I usually haven’t been home on Saturdays either, so I have no choice but to have everything sent here. There are a lot of DVDs and games and stuff on my desk, and pretty much all of it came here by mail.  Read more...
