IGN interviews Yoshinori Ono about SSF4
Rodney sent over heads up that IGN.com has interview Yoshinori Ono about Super Street Fighter 4. The text interview has a few more details, but for those of you who are a bit more visual, there's a video to check out instead.
Here's a brief recap of what Ono had to say.
- Lobbies were again strongly hinted at, along with either a spectator mode or being able to watch more replays.
- Most of Capcom apparently didn't want to make a follow up to Street Fighter 4, but the sales were so good Ono didn't have a difficult time convincing them to do another one.
- The story modes for all characters will be different this time around. New intros and endings for everyone.
- The 'Indestructible' song is toast, will be replaced with something else.
- New background stages are strongly hinted at and old stages will be tweaked a bit.
- Seth will be the last boss again, and Capcom is doing some things to make players like him even less.
- There will be no unlockable characters this time around.
- Focus Attacks will not be undergoing major tweaks, you'll basically only notice changes if you look closely at the frame data.
Yasir noted that Gametrailers uploaded their own interview with Ono, which pretty much just recaps what you've just read or already heard.

Cant wait for this. The new openings and endings are very appealing and my god Juri looks quick.

What about the PC version!? Come on! Stop torturing me!
Posted by zerowolf on October 1, 2009 at 4:19 p.m. #8
so wait there wont be multi hit focus ?

No more "Indestructible"? boh... is this the new song:
"you are so weak and easy to beat .... yeah yeah yeah"
I am not too worry about the PC version. Right now they are working on the arcade version and then like before the XBOX and playstation. I also hope we get a version for the PC... but I think we will get it at the earliest by next summer. So I am not worry... it is coming... I believe it... just need patience.

yes4me...I'm not sure how much you've paid attention...but they are not putting SSTF4 on the arcades, it is going right to consoles...a pc version would be nice though, since I have been thinking about getting into it.
Posted by Nyoronoru on October 1, 2009 at 4:25 p.m. #11
Results like these make me believe that Capcom does listen.
Posted by jleadership on October 1, 2009 at 4:31 p.m. #12
I think the pc guys are lucky, the djay and thawk voices are a indication the you guys may have an updatable disc.
I am not a pc guy, but they knew exactly what they were doing when they put it on the disc...

Two things I found funny .... is the replacement of the song and sounds they are making are most likely making seth harder or giving him more moves ... lol ...
Those are the two things a lot of people hated about this game ... the song and the boss ... and both are changing ... but for better or worse ??? lol ....
I would like it if the replay mode included a free roaming camera / angle switches ....
And I wish each character had their own stage .... i know asking for over 30 stages is probably asking too much .... but games like alpha/zero and 3rd strike always seemed to manange to give new backgrounds with every upgrade....
At least allow us to use character theme music in versus though ...

I felt a little nerdy inside when I read IGN's article. Double roll forward? Ken's final attack? Oh jeez XD

Ono really does a lot for the fans. I love him.
Posted by classy on October 1, 2009 at 4:59 p.m. #16
i was hoping fadc took only 1 bar, damage scaling is changed to make combos useful..
and when sagat does a fadc it takes up 3 bars..to balance him out

"They add that an arcade release for Super Street Fighter IV is not completely out of the question after all."

Your not the only one for all the games i like i would read on magazines, online, and etc
Posted by newman on October 1, 2009 at 5:14 p.m. #18
alpha and 3rd strike characters please.
Posted by Rave_Zero on October 1, 2009 at 5:23 p.m. #19
IGN should have asked about CAPCOMs plans for SSF4 on PC...
Lobbies are good on one side (more people playing together at the same time) and bad on the other side (when someone in the lobby has lag, most likely everyone will suffer).

Indistructable? Haha ironic

Most Sagats can't do FADC's. The only things Sagat does online is Tiger Shots, Tiger Knees, Tiger Uppercut, standing HK, throw, sweep kick, taunt and Ultra. He can't do all of them because your entire health bar is gone after getting 2 Tiger Shots.
Posted by listening on October 1, 2009 at 5:28 p.m. #22
CAPCOM listens partially. T. Hawk and Deejay were already modeled but didn't make it to SFIV. They made Seth even more versatile, WTF?!
The good things are the rebalancing, the lobby and group selection fights. I'm sure they toned down Sagat a bit and reduced some lame characters ridiculous priorities.
Posted by chickenwings on October 1, 2009 at 5:29 p.m. #23
This guy really gives me a good vibe. I just really hope he listens. I hope he doesnt pull a freakin bungie and wants 60 bucks for an expansion.
Posted by ClockUP on October 1, 2009 at 5:33 p.m. #24
NOOOOOOOOOOO! NO more "The Next Door"! Why!?
Posted by Trauma Radio on October 1, 2009 at 5:39 p.m. #25
@#22 Surely we will find ways to fend off Seth just as we fend off Gill and his ridiculous skill to revive when he has a full bar lol (or his 2 specials)
Posted by Alex F. on October 1, 2009 at 5:41 p.m. #26
You heard that guys, He said he's interested in Bringing back Darkstalkers, I personally/unfortunatly didn't have a Sega Saturn so I never got to play DarkStalkers and I don't wanna buy a PSP but a console version would be a must buy for me.
Posted by Shanic on October 1, 2009 at 5:49 p.m. #27
It'd be kickass if they could add Morrigan somehow..I love morrigan.
Posted by PSN Grey Lynx on October 1, 2009 at 6:18 p.m. #28
I want to see what happens with Anita-chan(the girl always with Demetri in dark Stalkers/vampire savior who is a teenager at the end of 3)!!!!
Marvel VS Capcom you found out Morrigan, Lilith and Zangeif are all siblings in that universe at the end of Zang's story but a mention by Zangeif in SSF4 but not a full on character of Morrigan because it breaks the game seriously while SF4 is fantastical in that people throw out energy blast but Demons? reall demons? not like Gouki evil but actual Demons? no that'd break everything about SF.
A new Dark stalkers would own
Posted by Corn on October 1, 2009 at 7:13 p.m. #29
I want a new Darkstalkers.
I'll miss Indestructible. It grew on me after hearing it a million times.
Posted by AnD PC on October 1, 2009 at 7:17 p.m. #30
and PC?
Posted by LOL on October 1, 2009 at 7:37 p.m. #31
He's going to give Seth even more abilities. AWESOME!!
Posted by al2k on October 1, 2009 at 8:31 p.m. #32
Did anyone notice that juri has a quick punch move? She is not all kicks, cool.
Posted by Ogre on October 1, 2009 at 8:49 p.m. #33
I can't possibly imagine how can I hate Seth more.
Posted by aff1ct3d on October 1, 2009 at 9:20 p.m. #34
lol, Seth with T. Hawk's command grab or even Dee Jay's charge-attack fireball neutralizer.
yeah, i could see how possibilities like those would make players hate Seth even more.

"Most of Capcom apparently didn't want to make a follow up to Street Fighter 4, but the sales were so good Ono didn't have a difficult time convincing them to do another one."
At least he's honest. But that makes me think the conversation went along the lines of 'Hey, we can milk this franchise some more!'
Posted by Mr.NiK on October 1, 2009 at 9:49 p.m. #36
All these little kids who whine about Seth, seriously..
Have you met Gill?
I am so excited reading that interview, Ono is a genius. I love the fact that he might do a tournament mode and I can't wait to see more new original characters, Juri looks fantastic already.
Posted by Trauma Radio on October 1, 2009 at 10:31 p.m. #37
i talked about gill in one of the post i forgot which one XD harder then seth lol

Oh boy, the days of Gill, Seth's got nothing on that XD Also...Shin Bison on EX3 is almost as bad @_@

@#35
That's just bad reading comprehension on whoever wrote that summary. Ono actually said IV (the first one) had a hard time being approved, but Super was quite easy given the sales.

juri looks real fun
hawk looks like he's gonna cause problems another grabbing gief that likes to eat energy bars! lol
dee jay looks like top tier!
just hope i dont have to change my main... ryu for top tier!
i had this feeling watching the new trailer that ken is going to be stronger... reason being is ryu does his ultra ken blocks it then does his fancy s*** ending on ken's move leaves me to believe maybe he is gonna be a lot stronger!
who knows lol
all i want is better online play and maybe some kind of lag meter to give players a heads up when going in
lag is the worst... changes everything when im playing makes me paro!
Posted by blahblah on October 2, 2009 at 4:22 a.m. #42
I'm glad we don't have to unlock the characters again.. I didn't like slaving through arcade mode just to get Cammy. But, it's whatever, now..
Posted by @40 Cody don't win yet on October 2, 2009 at 5:05 a.m. #43
Give him knives all the time and no handcuffed hands this time. Throwing rocks is nonsense this time seeing Juri gets kick fireballs too.
And his OG outfit or something better, not some lame convict striped jumper so nobody picks him or remembers him due to bad design.

unlike some ppl i actually enjoyed unlocking characters since it was linked to achievements/trophies which in my opinion gave a sense of accomplishment.
GOD I HOPE IT HAS TROPHIES/ACHIEVEMENTS !!!!

Give me a non crappy net code and I'll consider, otherwise hell no

What happened to Tandan Saving? Or are they just lying to us?
Posted by in-defuggin-struct-abible on October 6, 2009 at 11:03 a.m. #48
thank god that song wil be gone o.O now to see what other semi-asian sounding crap they will throw at us instead..sigh.
The focus stuff might be very important though...
Posted by yep on October 6, 2009 at 4:45 p.m. #49
I cant wait for this game, looks phenomenal. btw when Ono said he wanted to do a new darkstalkers with this engine my heart went a flutter
Posted by foreigntsuka on October 30, 2009 at 7:31 a.m. #50
I was sceptic about this Ono fellow. But he really did a execellent job on SF4 and by the look of things SSF4.
But then him going on about Darkstalkers/Vampire. I thought if this game was to return he could definitely pull it off. I am really hoping he gets entitled to this beautiful game as he would just improve it. Please support the love of a Darkstalkers 4.
