Ken Bogard is a lucky dude, not only he got to attend the micromania show but also got a chance to play SSF4 and get some inised info about what to expect from the upcoming title. If you speak French make sure to read his awesomely long post of what he expected, if you don’t well here is a list of things he mentioned:

• The character select screen has a new look now.

• The beta had 8 characters playable, and the rest were grayed out. Ken Bogard said that he was too far from the screen to count how many grayed out characters are there, and therefore states he has no idea if there 10 or 8 extra characters.

• All characters will have two Ultra.

• The seond ultras have some unexpected commands but this can change since this is the first beta he tried.

• Next Friday’s big announcement, will not reveal new characters,but will be apparently about the online mode of the game

• Dee Jay’s Machine Gun move has now the same command as honda’s hundered hand slaps

• Throws and jumps might get tweaked for SSF4 (This could because Daigo Umehara has expresed in a famitsu interview that throws in SF4 are kinda broken and too easy to grab and should be tweaked)

• Priorities of Dragon Punches and Tiger Uppercuts will not change, however other characters will receive some tools to use against these moves.

• An arcade release for SSF4 is still very possible and Ono himself is pushing for it.

• Ono san revealed than the anime studio in charge of the new prologues and endings is a big studio that everyone should know.
