Sensationalizing the story a little bit, VideoGamer.com stated, "Capcom on SFIV: Sagat and Seth ARE overpowered!" This headline was based on a quote from Street Fighter IV's arcade producer, Ryota Niitsuma.

The actual quote from Niitsuma reads, "Yes, Seth and perhaps Sagat might have turned out a little bit stronger than we expected." But he later on added that both characters aren't, "too out of proportion."

While this isn't stating anything most players don't already know, it is intriguing to see it coming from a Capcom staff member. Since Capcom is waiting for the big tournament results to come in to decide on balance changes, and with a 2nd version of the title likely in the works, I'm curious how potential balance changes will come about.

Will Capcom patch the game before they release a 2nd version, or will they just include balance changes in the upgrade?

Thanks to B.A.L. for the heads up.
