Hello everyone!

Tomorrow, 11/22 is our very own Dhalsim's birthday.

And also next week, 11/25 is Dan's birthday. Faaaaaather!

My birthday is 8/1!

At any rate, last week I didn't really talk about Super Street Fighter 4, and I didn't realize it until I'd finished. As a result, I'll have something huge to talk about next week!! (Something really big).

Are there any plans to release Tatsunoko vs. Capcom on the XBox 360 or PlayStation 3?

Seth: As before, no plans to port TvC to X360 or PS3. It was developed on the Wii, it will stay on the Wii.

Obviously if the game sells 200 billion units, we would probably eventually port it to your car radio, but even then, as we've said, a sequel would have the best chance of being multiplatform.

Do these two articles mean we'll be seeing more re-released fighters from Capcom?

Sven: Seth's answer at EventHubs actually explains why having so many of these fighters ISN'T likely to happen, at least on any near term time horizon.

How would someone become an at home tester for Capcom?

Sven: "At home" testing, doesn't exist. Real testing happens in offices... We have some in-house testers but we also outsource a fair amount to VMC [Game Labs] in Montreal.

• Sunnyvale, California: NorCal Regionals, Nov. 21 & 22. Featuring top California players, plus Seth Killian will also be on hand. This is going to be a big event which will have a live stream.

• Brooklyn, New York: BattleField Arcadia #8, Nov. 22. Street Fighter 4 event is a 2vs2 team set up featuring players like Justin Wong, Sanford Kelly and Damdai. Sounds like this tournament will be streamed.

• Atlanta, Georgia: Impact Clash V, Nov. 21. Street Fighter IV and Tekken 6 matches will be on uStream.

• Nashville, Tennessee: Street Fighter IV singles tournament, Nov. 21.

Because it will be against Nintendo's regulations and policies, I can't mention too many details, but basically, it's about matching those with good connection and the one that is not as good, determining transmission speed, and nailing down where it is the most appropriate to develop and implement the online battle mode while we figure out the development restrictions that we have.

Through a long testing process with extensive trial and error, we were able to make it happen, so it would be great if you could try and test it when the game is released.

Is there any chance of a character poll for Super Street Fighter 4?

Sven: To set expectations the game is rather far along and one of the FIRST things we did was sort out what the roster would be. While we're happy to accept additional feedback for future titles (if they should exist at some point in the future), the ship has pretty much sailed for Super Street Fighter 4.

Ono said there will be about 8 new characters in SSF4, does this number include Dee Jay, T. Hawk and Juri or not?

Sven: You'll get a straight answer... but not today. :) Indeed, we are playing things a bit close to the vest and we will have more announcements soonish that shed more light.

How come you don't port your games to the Mac and Linux?

Sven: Much as I love Macs and Linux to work with, they're both very difficult to harness commercially for games.

That is why I propose hybrid discs. That way, there is no need to sell extra SKUs. — Native Dialect

Retail/SKU count isn't isn't really the gating factor. It's the costs of porting those games to other OSes/APIsets that would be extremely difficult to recoup financially.

Hello everyone. This is Tsukamoto.

Continuing from where we left off next week, a closer look at the network modes! Well then, let's get right down to it with the Replay Channel.

First, tell us about how the Replay Channel came to be.

Shiozaki:
While we were making the PC version for Street Fighter 4, we thought, "isn't there something we could do with the replays?" Our very first image was of producer Ono coming out of the bath in his bathrobe, with a drink on the rocks in one hand while he watched replays, like something out of a comic book (laughs). The basic idea there is that you wouldn't have to touch the controller. "A drink in one hand, petting a cat with the other," or for us, we'd be gathered around a heated table with some oranges. At any rate, we wanted to make it so that you could watch replays without having to press any buttons.

In short, Juri is fantastic. Her high priority crouching light and mid kicks can easily be cancelled into special moves, which can then lead to juggled Ultras. She's one of the fastest characters in Street Fighter history. She's got a counter and a wall juggle, and her Ultra potential is up there with Ryu's. So what are her weaknesses? At the moment, there aren't many. She's not great on the defensive, has no invincible move, and her only real anti-air is her Ultra. Still, I reckon that before the game is released, Capcom will reduce her damage output and stamina so she'll do less damage and take more. One thing I'm absolutely fascinated to discover: will the Korean Juri prove popular with Japanese players?
