G4TV video shows new SSF4 background stage
A new background stage for Super Street Fighter 4 has surfaced in this video from G4TV.com, showing what might be Dhalsim's background. It looks like it's in India with elephants.
The new stage shows up around 50 seconds and is featured randomly throughout the clip. Seth also talks about the character balance and reiterates we'll be hearing about some new characters "soon".
Thanks to Machineking1313 and Ruivo2099 for pointing this out.

I like how you can make the elephants topple over. It'll make playing T. Hawk all the sweeter.

Oh HEELLLLLL yeah. A new and very vibrant looking stage!! And I've always loved the India stages! Thanks for listening, Capcom!

Yessss, this stage looks so good, the elephant falling over is priceless.
Posted by Anon on November 19, 2009 at 7:08 p.m. #4
Besides the chinese marketplace, the levels in SF4 are all pretty lackluster. This is looking much, much better :D.

u can understand that its dhalsim stage because you can see his wife left of the stage at 1:42

Looks amazing can't wait for some new char news the suspense is killing me!
Posted by Lolento on November 19, 2009 at 8:10 p.m. #18
Wow, those elephants are looking good. The human characters seem to be about the same quality as those from the first game, but it's hard to tell on a low-res video.
The characters on the far right, though, appeared to be quite repetitive. Hopefully they'll get more variety before the stage is finished.
Posted by lol on November 19, 2009 at 8:16 p.m. #19
it could be for Hakan as well, if not Dhualsim.
Posted by Hey Moderators! on November 19, 2009 at 8:19 p.m. #20
The guys from eventhubs should realy change the background to this damn site. Im tired seeing these four douchebags everytime I come here. Please do something about this. If you take off my comment than you definately agree.

@ #14
The game isn't unfinished, but seeing how ultras work against certain attacks (you can EX SRK Ryu out of his ultra, etc.), I think it'll only be used in combos, hence the crap priority.
Anything can happen between now and the final release. Actually, if Juri got hit by a projectile from her ultra, it would help her; imagine having the priority, whiffing horrible and coming down slowly to some monster combo? xD

lol straight up ask about sagat, i like that
Posted by Geese on November 19, 2009 at 9:45 p.m. #33
I hope that the only new thing Sagat gets is Tiger Cannon(probably a fancier Ultra version) and they tone down his damage slightly on the right moves and don't give him wall bounces.
Then they give all the mid tier to lowest characters plenty of tools to make them better.
Posted by Rab on November 19, 2009 at 9:45 p.m. #34
Spotted Dhalsims wife Sally in the new India stage, like how she appeared in Alpha 2. She's even wearing the same outfit, sealing the deal that Dhalsims goal for winning the tournament is now to buy his wife a new blouse.

The new stage looks amazing. It's too bad that some people will still choose to play in the training stage thinking that it will reduce the lag online.
Posted by rab on November 19, 2009 at 10 p.m. #38
@Dan aka #35
honestly, chances are Sagat will still be top tier, but the idea is that everybody else has an easier time beating him. there's nothing wrong with him being at the top.
Posted by jammasta on November 19, 2009 at 10:01 p.m. #39
Wonder why they cut off the left in Chun Li's picture. Also, what stage is that? It reminds me of Necro's and somewhat of Rolento's, but it doesn't really look too much like other Russia stages.
Posted by Jaf on November 19, 2009 at 10:18 p.m. #40
I can only hope that they have a version of Cammy's castle stage...and her theme remix!

what a douchebag i hate him more than hitler
Posted by Jiofreed on November 19, 2009 at 10:58 p.m. #46
ONE MORE THING
everyone is getting new "tools" aka moves and priorities....so even if sagat is getting stronger he might just have some new attack but others might have 2 or 3
Posted by Jiofreed on November 19, 2009 at 11 p.m. #47
@45....
I doubt seth knows everything mainly cause he's in america and they're making the game in japan, he's doing alot of events so I wouldn't be surprised if he dosen't know everything...like if NPC seth 15 is weaker LIKE the DEVELOPMENT TEAM said while he said he's getting stronger

@ #14
I think (at least, I'm PRAYING) SSF4 removes invincible start-up from Ultras. I remember in one of the T. Hawk vs. Juri videos also, T. Hawk attempts an Ultra right after Juri starts hers, and he still gets hit out of it. I'm really hoping that's the case, but it makes me wonder how they'll execute that for characters who need their Ultras to eagle-eye
Posted by @ #1 on November 19, 2009 at 11:41 p.m. #51
You play T. Hawk and you watch all of us decent players rape you with your terrible character. You main Ken don't you?
Posted by BK on November 19, 2009 at 11:47 p.m. #52
glad for new info, but i can wait for new stages. come on capcom. you know what we want. stop jerkin us. we can only go so long til we blow. WE WANT NAMES!!! new stages are cool, but the names of the characters who made it in is a whole lot better.
as far as what we get for keepin sf4, i highly doubt on the discount. its already suppose to be 40 bucks. wish we do get that, but more than likely, we're gonna just get souvenirs. shirt, ryus headband, keychain, and maybe a newer sf anime dvd. i wonder though if you get anything extra for having the collectors edition.

Thank God it isn't as bland as the distillery stage.

Posted by @ #57 on November 20, 2009 at 12:17 a.m. #58
No. Everyone has their cheese. Ryu and Sagat have easy ways to set up ultras, while other characters can have stretchy limbs, a free wake-up escape, or plenty of mix-up possibilities.

@ 62
if y'all have so much problems with them, y'all might need to turn the difficulty down. i dont have a problem fighting them. win some lose some. dont get mad at em cause y'all cant beat em. just put it on easy if its too hard for ya. me, i say bring on the challenge. helps me better my skills.

Who gives a damn about the AI???
It is dumb as ****!
okay it is way better then KOF XII`s but still not very smart!
(blanka's ultra hits nearly every time!!! except seth)
Only Seth can be a pain in the ass at super hard, cuz he is cheating (bigger health bar)!
i am a blanka player and the only thing that pisses me off, is that some chars (ABEL for example) can punisch you after blanka ball even if you HIT them (they dont even have to block it)!!!! that IS unfair!!!
Posted by BK on November 20, 2009 at 5:20 a.m. #66
@ 64
they seem to fight straight to me(besides the crazy combos they can put you in). thats why you gotta take that extra step to play harder. lord knows i dont win all the time. so if its AI or not, if you like the game, play it.
@ 65
i agree. the only character who is the most problem is seth. i only beat him once on super hard. his combos are just too fast to avoid. you block, he grabs. you attack, thats game, but i like that kind of challenge. gets you real pissed off, so once you do beat em, your gonna enjoy that moment. lol
Posted by J on November 20, 2009 at 5:26 a.m. #67
What does it say on that sign on the stage? Is it in sanskrit? It's probably nothing though, I'm just curious. :p

Posted by lulzer on November 20, 2009 at 9:35 a.m. #74
you shouldn't complain about sagat and ryu just because they got it right with them the first time around.
this time hopefully everyone will be pretty good, or at least vega wont die because blanka keeps spamming balls and he has no ex/ultra.
something like that.
Posted by bossman on November 20, 2009 at 9:57 a.m. #75
stage looks sick! cant wait for more!!!
people people people... sagat aint that strong! maybe online with a bit of lag it can throw you off a bit but whens the last time sagat won a major tourney???? its been a while! ryu definitly has all the tools but it is ryu he is sf's main man! from sf1 to sf4 lol he is the face of street fighter!
sagat will still be strong but there will be ways to counter him! i dont have any problems fighting a good sagat while using ryu...
i am a strong believer that sf4 is probably one of the best balanced sf games to date!
tourney champs ive seen
ryu
sagat
viper
rufus
fei long
sims
quaters semis and finals
dictator
boxer
chun
akuma
honda
ken
im sure im missing a few but you get my point

guile has his stage in sf4 already... would be nice to see everyone have a specific stage
sagat - statue
ryu - roof top
ken - boat
honda - sunna room
bison - bell
vega - cage wall maybe unusabe tho
sims - elephants now got
guile - got
balrog - got
chun - got
gief - got could resemble the sf2 one a bit more tho
blanka - got
Posted by sf2forever on November 21, 2009 at 6:39 p.m. #88
#88,
guile stage is sf4 is very plain in comparison to chun's and blankas, look at all the small details in those 2 stages. Guile's stage just has the ground and open sky. capcom should improve on that stage by putting more military vehicles or activities going on in the background (like heli taking off or parting, jeeps parked or starting to move, cargos moving, f15s flying over high in the sky, breakable crates or cargos during fight, put some soldiers closer to the screen, some further back, layer it out, MORE SMALL DEtails. maybe add mist or light rain to it.
Posted by sf2forever on November 21, 2009 at 6:45 p.m. #89
by the way, by any chance, is capcom redoing all the stages like the did with sf3 new Gen to sf3 third strike?
Posted by bos on November 21, 2009 at 8:21 p.m. #90
@sf2forever
i like guile's stage to be honest... i like the fact that you can break the wing... i like to kill people and then during the frames at the end of the last hit... i jump up and lk (depending on char) and kick off the wing feels real nice!
but yes ssf4 team have redone the little things to the excisting stages such as background props and so on and will be bringing specific char stages as ive read somewhere amongst all these reads
Posted by arcade on November 21, 2009 at 11:20 p.m. #91
they should just add snow and polar bears to gief stage in Super Street Fighter IV, then it would be perfect

@bos
i know what you mean by being able to break the wing off the aircraft but that's still not enough going on in that stage. everytime when i enter guiles stage, I feel that it's missing alot of detail. When you put guiles and chun's stage side by side, you'll know what i mean. In chun's so much is happening with lots and lost of small details. In my opinion, Guile's stage is half-ass done. :)
Posted by Jonny Modlin on November 22, 2009 at 10:49 a.m. #95

Not all stages have be busy, with all sorts of doodads to distract the player. In fact, the temple, boat, and distillery stages have even less activity going on the than the airfield. The many things of things that go on in crowded downtown ("Chun Li's stage" as you call it) makes sense, as urban environments are usually densely populated for the area of land occupied. If you ever been to an airport, you would know that the landing area is wide open. Aircraft needs ample space to take off and land, extraneous people and objects would only in the way.
