Super Street Fighter 4 anime intro sequences for new fighters

1Up.com posted the anime intro cinematics for Super Street Fighter 4's new cast members, although for some reason Dee Jay wasn't included.

Capcom has taken a different approach with the style of these intros. Now they're mostly still images that slowly pan as the storyline for the character is brought out.

UK event to have official Super Street Fighter 4 arcade machine?

GodisaGeek.com is running a Super Street Fighter 4 preview tournament in the United Kingdom, which has run into some issues with funding and looks like it will be canceled. The tournament organizers had teamed with Capcom to get an the final version of the game ahead of time.

In their announcement of what will be available, they also mention they will have an official Capcom arcade machine.

MeriStation.com posted an article which also contains the stamina (hit points) and stun (punishment you can take before getting dizzy), for the new Super Street Fighter 4 cast members.

Important note: These listings have NOT been officially confirmed. You can also compare these to how the current stamina rankings in Street Fighter 4 break down.
